स्तोत्रसंहिता 78
A psalm (maskil) of Asaph. Listen to what I have to teach you, my people; hear what I have to say.
I will tell you wise sayings; I will explain mysteries from the past
that we have heard before and reflected on; stories our forefathers passed down to us.
4 ४ त्या आम्ही त्यांच्या वंशजापासून गुप्त ठेवणार नाही. त्या आम्ही पुढील पिढीला परमेश्वराची स्तुत्य कृत्ये, त्याचे सामर्थ्य आणि त्याने केलेले आश्चर्ये कृत्ये सांगू.
We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God's marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.
5 ५ कारण त्याने याकोबात निर्बंध स्थापले आणि इस्राएलासाठी नियमशास्त्र नेमले. त्याने आमच्या पूर्वजांना आज्ञा दिल्या की, त्यांनी त्या आपल्या मुलांना शिकवाव्या.
He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,
6 ६ त्याने ही आज्ञा यासाठी दिली की, पुढच्या पिढीने म्हणजे जी मुले जन्माला येतील, त्यांनी त्या आज्ञा जाणाव्या, त्या आपल्या स्वतःच्या मुलांना सांगाव्या.
so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.
In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.
8 ८ तर त्यांनी आपल्या पूर्वजासारखे हट्टी आणि बंडखोर पिढी होऊ नये, त्यांनी आपले अंतःकरण योग्य राखले नाही, आणि जिचा आत्मा देवाला समर्पित व प्रामाणिक नव्हता.
Then they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation that was untrustworthy and unfaithful.
The soldiers of Ephraim, though armed with bows, ran away on the day of battle.
They did not keep God's agreement, and refused to follow his laws.
They ignored what he had done, and the amazing things he had shown them—
12 १२ मिसर देशातल्या सोअन प्रांतात त्यांच्या वडिलांच्या दृष्टीसमोर त्याने आश्चर्यकारक गोष्टी केल्या.
the miracles he had performed for their forefathers near Zoan in Egypt.
He split the sea in two and led them through, making the water stand like walls on either side.
He led them with a cloud by day, and by night with a light of fire.
He split open rocks in the desert to give his people plenty to drink, water as deep as the ocean.
He made streams flow from the stone; water rushing down like rivers!
But they repeatedly sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
They deliberately provoked God by demanding the foods they longed for.
They insulted God by saying, “Can God provide food here in the desert?
20 २० पहा, त्याने खडकावर प्रहार केला तेव्हा पाणी उसळून बाहेर पडले, आणि पाण्याचे प्रवाह भरून वाहू लागले. पण भाकरही देऊ शकेल काय? तो आपल्या लोकांसाठी मांसाचा पुरवठा करील काय?”
Yes, he can strike a rock so that water gushes out like flowing rivers, but can he give us bread? Can he supply his people with meat?”
21 २१ जेव्हा परमेश्वराने हे ऐकले, तेव्हा तो रागावला; म्हणून याकोबावर त्याचा अग्नि भडकला, आणि त्याच्या रागाने इस्राएलवर हल्ला केला,
When he heard this, the Lord became very angry, burning like fire against the descendants of Jacob, furious with the people of Israel,
for they didn't believe in God and didn't trust him to take care of them.
Even so he commanded the skies above and the doors of heaven to open,
and he made manna rain down on them to eat, giving them bread from heaven.
Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them more than enough food.
26 २६ त्याने आकाशात पूर्वेचा वारा वाहविला, आणि त्याच्या सामर्थ्याने त्याने दक्षिणेच्या वाऱ्याला मार्ग दाखवला.
He sent the east wind blowing across the sky; by his power he drove the south wind.
27 २७ त्याने त्यांच्यावर धुळीप्रमाणे मांसाचा आणि समुद्रातील वाळूप्रमाणे असंख्य पक्षांचा वर्षाव केला.
He rained down meat on them as plentiful as dust; birds as numerous as sand on a beach.
He made them fall right in the middle of their camp, all around where they were living.
They ate until they were full. He gave them the food they longed for.
But before they satisfied their appetite, while the meat was still in their mouths,
31 ३१ त्याच क्षणाला, देवाच्या कोपाने त्याच्यावर हल्ला केला, आणि त्यांच्यातील बलवानास मारून टाकले. त्याने इस्राएलाच्या तरुणास हाणून पाडले.
God became angry with them and he killed their strongest men, striking them down in the prime of life.
32 ३२ इतके झाले तरी ते पाप करितच राहीले, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आश्चर्यकारक कृत्यांवर विश्वास ठेवला नाही.
Despite all this they went right on sinning. Despite the miracles, they refused to trust him.
So he snuffed out their futile lives, bringing them to an end in terror.
34 ३४ जेव्हा कधी देवाने त्यांना पीडिले, तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याचा शोध घेण्यास सुरवात केली. उत्सुकतेने ते त्याच्याकडे वळले.
When he began killing them, the rest came back to God in repentance, praying to him.
They remembered that God was their rock, that God Most High was their Savior.
They flattered him by what they told him, but they were only lying.
Deep down they were not sincere, and did not keep the agreement they had with him.
38 ३८ परंतु तो दयाळू असल्यामुळे त्यांच्या अपराधांची क्षमा करतो आणि त्याने त्यांचा नाश केला नाही. होय, तो अनेक वेळा आपला राग आवरून धरतो, आणि आपला सर्व राग भडकू देत नाही.
But being compassionate he pardoned their guilt and did not destroy all of them. He often held back his anger—he did not pour out all his fury.
He remembered their mortality—that they were like a puff of wind that would not return.
40 ४० त्यांनी किती वेळा रानात त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि पडिक प्रदेशात त्यांनी त्यास दु: खी केले.
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, giving him grief in the desert!
Again and again they provoked God, causing pain to the Holy One of Israel.
They did not remember his strength when he rescued them from their oppressors,
43 ४३ मिसरात जेव्हा त्याने आपली घाबरून सोडणारी चिन्हे आणि सोअनाच्या प्रांतात आपले चमत्कारही दाखविले ते विसरले.
performing miracles in Egypt, doing wonderful things on the plain of Zoan.
44 ४४ त्याने मिसऱ्यांच्या नद्यांचे रक्तात रुपांतर केले. म्हणून त्याच्या प्रवाहातील पाणी त्यांच्याने पिववेना.
There he turned their rivers and their streams into blood so that no one could drink from them.
45 ४५ त्याने चावणाऱ्या माशांचे थवे पाठवले त्यांनी त्यांना खाऊन टाकले, आणि बेडकांनी त्यांचा देश आच्छादला.
He sent flies among them to destroy them, and frogs to ruin everything.
He gave their crops to locusts; everything they worked had for was taken by locusts.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their fig trees with freezing rain.
He handed over their cattle to hail and their flocks to lightning bolts.
49 ४९ त्यांने आपल्या भयंकर रागाने त्यांच्याविरुद्ध तडाखे दिले. त्याने अरिष्ट आणणाऱ्या प्रतिनीधीप्रमाणे आपला क्रोध, प्रकोप आणि संकट पाठवले.
He poured out on them his fierce anger—rage and hostility and anguish—sending a band of destroying angels against them.
50 ५० त्याने आपल्या रागासाठी मार्ग सपाट केला; त्याने त्यांना मरणापासून वाचविले नाही पण त्याने त्यांना मरीच्या हवाली केले.
He sent his unrestrained anger against them; he did not spare them from death, handing them over to the plague.
51 ५१ त्याने मिसरमध्ये प्रथम जन्मलेले सर्व, हामाच्या तंबूतील त्यांच्या शक्तीचे प्रथम जन्मलेले मारून टाकले.
He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the first to be conceived in the tents of Ham.
But he led out his people like sheep, and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
53 ५३ त्याने त्यांना सुखरुप आणि न भीता मार्गदर्शन केले, पण समुद्राने त्यांच्या शत्रूंना बुडवून टाकले.
He led them to safety, and they were not afraid. He drowned their enemies in the sea.
He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountainous land that he had conquered for them.
55 ५५ त्याने त्यांच्यापुढून राष्ट्रांना हाकलून लावली, आणि त्यांना त्यांची वतने सूत्राने मापून नेमून दिली; आणि त्यांच्या तंबूत इस्राएलाचे वंश वसविले.
He drove out the heathen nations before them. He divided up the land for them to own. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 ५६ तरी त्यांनी परात्पर देवाला आव्हान दिले आणि त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आज्ञा पाळल्या नाहीत.
But they provoked God Most High, rebelling against him. They did not follow what he had told them.
57 ५७ ते आपल्या पूर्वजाप्रमाणे अविश्वासू होते आणि त्यांनी विश्वासघातकी कृत्ये केली; फसव्या धनुष्याप्रमाणे ते स्वतंत्रपणे वळणारे होते.
Just like their forefathers they turned away from God and were unfaithful to him, as twisted as a defective bow.
58 ५८ कारण त्यांनी आपल्या उंच जागा बांधल्या आणि देवाला क्रोधित केले आणि आपल्या कोरीव मूर्तींमुळे त्यास आवेशाने कोपविले.
They made him angry with their pagan high places of worship; they made him jealous with their idols.
When God heard their worship he became furious and he totally rejected Israel.
He abandoned his place at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he lived among the people.
61 ६१ त्याने आपल्या सामर्थ्याचा कोश बंदिवासात जाण्याची परवानगी दिली, आणि आपले गौरव शत्रूच्या हातात दिले.
He surrendered the Ark of his power, allowing it to be captured; handing it over into enemy hands.
He handed over his people to be slaughtered by the sword; he was furious with his chosen people.
63 ६३ अग्नीने त्यांच्या तरुण मनुष्यास खाऊन टाकले, आणि त्यांच्या तरुण स्रीयांना लग्नगीते लाभली नाहीत.
Their young men were destroyed by fire; their young women had no wedding songs.
Their priests were killed by the sword; their widows were unable to mourn.
65 ६५ मग प्रभू झोपेतून जागा झालेल्या मनुष्यासारखा उठला, द्राक्षरसामुळे आरोळी मारणाऱ्या सैनिकासारखा तो उठला.
Then the Lord woke up as if from sleep, as a warrior sobering up from drinking wine.
He defeated his enemies, striking them on the back, causing them everlasting shame.
He rejected the descendants of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
Instead he chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion which he loves.
There he built his sanctuary, high like the heavens, on earth that he made to last forever.
He chose his servant David, taking him from the sheep pens,
71 ७१ आपले लोक याकोब व आपले वतन इस्राएल यांचे पालन करण्यास त्याने त्यास दुभत्या मेंढ्याच्या मागून काढून आणले.
taking him from caring for the sheep and lambs to be a shepherd to the descendants of Jacob—God's special people, Israel.
72 ७२ दावीदाने आपल्या मनाच्या सरळतेने त्याचे पालन केले, आणि आपल्या हातच्या कौशल्याने त्यास मार्ग दाखविला.
Like a shepherd, he took care of them with sincere devotion, leading them with skillful hands.
