स्तोत्रसंहिता 78
Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old;
That which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told 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 hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.
5 ५ कारण त्याने याकोबात निर्बंध स्थापले आणि इस्राएलासाठी नियमशास्त्र नेमले. त्याने आमच्या पूर्वजांना आज्ञा दिल्या की, त्यांनी त्या आपल्या मुलांना शिकवाव्या.
For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known 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.
That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; who should arise and tell them to their children,
That they might put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but 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.
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
The children of Ephraim were as archers handling the bow, that turned back in the day of battle.
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in His law;
And they forgot His doings, and His wondrous works that He had shown them.
12 १२ मिसर देशातल्या सोअन प्रांतात त्यांच्या वडिलांच्या दृष्टीसमोर त्याने आश्चर्यकारक गोष्टी केल्या.
Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
He cleaved the sea, and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters to stand as a heap.
By day also He led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
He cleaved rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the great deep.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Yet went they on still to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
And they tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.
Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
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?”
Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can He give bread also? or will He provide flesh for His people?'
21 २१ जेव्हा परमेश्वराने हे ऐकले, तेव्हा तो रागावला; म्हणून याकोबावर त्याचा अग्नि भडकला, आणि त्याच्या रागाने इस्राएलवर हल्ला केला,
Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.
And He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;
And He caused manna to rain upon them for food, and gave them of the corn of heaven.
Man did eat the bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to the full.
26 २६ त्याने आकाशात पूर्वेचा वारा वाहविला, आणि त्याच्या सामर्थ्याने त्याने दक्षिणेच्या वाऱ्याला मार्ग दाखवला.
He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven; and by His power He brought on the south wind.
27 २७ त्याने त्यांच्यावर धुळीप्रमाणे मांसाचा आणि समुद्रातील वाळूप्रमाणे असंख्य पक्षांचा वर्षाव केला.
He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas;
And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their dwellings.
So they did eat, and were well filled; and He gave them that which they craved.
They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,
31 ३१ त्याच क्षणाला, देवाच्या कोपाने त्याच्यावर हल्ला केला, आणि त्यांच्यातील बलवानास मारून टाकले. त्याने इस्राएलाच्या तरुणास हाणून पाडले.
When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.
32 ३२ इतके झाले तरी ते पाप करितच राहीले, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आश्चर्यकारक कृत्यांवर विश्वास ठेवला नाही.
For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.
Therefore He ended their days as a breath, and their years in terror.
34 ३४ जेव्हा कधी देवाने त्यांना पीडिले, तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याचा शोध घेण्यास सुरवात केली. उत्सुकतेने ते त्याच्याकडे वळले.
When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.
And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.
But they beguiled Him with their mouth, and lied unto Him with their tongue.
For their heart was not stedfast with Him, neither were they faithful in His covenant.
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 He, being full of compassion, forgiveth iniquity, and destroyeth not; yea, many a time doth He turn His anger away, and doth not stir up all His wrath.
So He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40 ४० त्यांनी किती वेळा रानात त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि पडिक प्रदेशात त्यांनी त्यास दु: खी केले.
How oft did they rebel against Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert!
And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary.
43 ४३ मिसरात जेव्हा त्याने आपली घाबरून सोडणारी चिन्हे आणि सोअनाच्या प्रांतात आपले चमत्कारही दाखविले ते विसरले.
How He set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan;
44 ४४ त्याने मिसऱ्यांच्या नद्यांचे रक्तात रुपांतर केले. म्हणून त्याच्या प्रवाहातील पाणी त्यांच्याने पिववेना.
And turned their rivers into blood, so that they could not drink their streams.
45 ४५ त्याने चावणाऱ्या माशांचे थवे पाठवले त्यांनी त्यांना खाऊन टाकले, आणि बेडकांनी त्यांचा देश आच्छादला.
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-trees with frost.
He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to fiery bolts.
49 ४९ त्यांने आपल्या भयंकर रागाने त्यांच्याविरुद्ध तडाखे दिले. त्याने अरिष्ट आणणाऱ्या प्रतिनीधीप्रमाणे आपला क्रोध, प्रकोप आणि संकट पाठवले.
He sent forth upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a sending of messengers of evil.
50 ५० त्याने आपल्या रागासाठी मार्ग सपाट केला; त्याने त्यांना मरणापासून वाचविले नाही पण त्याने त्यांना मरीच्या हवाली केले.
He levelled a path for His anger; He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51 ५१ त्याने मिसरमध्ये प्रथम जन्मलेले सर्व, हामाच्या तंबूतील त्यांच्या शक्तीचे प्रथम जन्मलेले मारून टाकले.
And smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;
But He made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 ५३ त्याने त्यांना सुखरुप आणि न भीता मार्गदर्शन केले, पण समुद्राने त्यांच्या शत्रूंना बुडवून टाकले.
And He led them safely, and they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And He brought them to His holy border, to the mountain, which His right hand had gotten.
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 nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 ५६ तरी त्यांनी परात्पर देवाला आव्हान दिले आणि त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आज्ञा पाळल्या नाहीत.
Yet they tried and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not His testimonies;
57 ५७ ते आपल्या पूर्वजाप्रमाणे अविश्वासू होते आणि त्यांनी विश्वासघातकी कृत्ये केली; फसव्या धनुष्याप्रमाणे ते स्वतंत्रपणे वळणारे होते.
But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 ५८ कारण त्यांनी आपल्या उंच जागा बांधल्या आणि देवाला क्रोधित केले आणि आपल्या कोरीव मूर्तींमुळे त्यास आवेशाने कोपविले.
For they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.
God heard, and was wroth, and He greatly abhorred Israel;
And He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He had made to dwell among men;
61 ६१ त्याने आपल्या सामर्थ्याचा कोश बंदिवासात जाण्याची परवानगी दिली, आणि आपले गौरव शत्रूच्या हातात दिले.
And delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the adversary's hand.
He gave His people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with His inheritance.
63 ६३ अग्नीने त्यांच्या तरुण मनुष्यास खाऊन टाकले, आणि त्यांच्या तरुण स्रीयांना लग्नगीते लाभली नाहीत.
Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins had no marriage-song.
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65 ६५ मग प्रभू झोपेतून जागा झालेल्या मनुष्यासारखा उठला, द्राक्षरसामुळे आरोळी मारणाऱ्या सैनिकासारखा तो उठला.
Then the Lord awaked as one asleep, like a mighty man recovering from wine.
And He smote His adversaries backward; He put upon them a perpetual reproach.
Moreover He abhorred the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which He loved.
And He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which He hath founded for ever.
He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 ७१ आपले लोक याकोब व आपले वतन इस्राएल यांचे पालन करण्यास त्याने त्यास दुभत्या मेंढ्याच्या मागून काढून आणले.
From following the ewes that give suck He brought him, to be shepherd over Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.
72 ७२ दावीदाने आपल्या मनाच्या सरळतेने त्याचे पालन केले, आणि आपल्या हातच्या कौशल्याने त्यास मार्ग दाखविला.
So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart; and lead them by the skilfulness of his hands.
