स्तोत्रसंहिता 78
Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
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 [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful 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 [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children:
That they might set their hope 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, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed 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 divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish 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 the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can 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 [this], and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
26 २६ त्याने आकाशात पूर्वेचा वारा वाहविला, आणि त्याच्या सामर्थ्याने त्याने दक्षिणेच्या वाऱ्याला मार्ग दाखवला.
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27 २७ त्याने त्यांच्यावर धुळीप्रमाणे मांसाचा आणि समुद्रातील वाळूप्रमाणे असंख्य पक्षांचा वर्षाव केला.
He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [was] yet in their mouths,
31 ३१ त्याच क्षणाला, देवाच्या कोपाने त्याच्यावर हल्ला केला, आणि त्यांच्यातील बलवानास मारून टाकले. त्याने इस्राएलाच्या तरुणास हाणून पाडले.
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen [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 for his wondrous works.
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34 ३४ जेव्हा कधी देवाने त्यांना पीडिले, तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याचा शोध घेण्यास सुरवात केली. उत्सुकतेने ते त्याच्याकडे वळले.
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast 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, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
For 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 provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert!
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43 ४३ मिसरात जेव्हा त्याने आपली घाबरून सोडणारी चिन्हे आणि सोअनाच्या प्रांतात आपले चमत्कारही दाखविले ते विसरले.
How he had wrought 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 had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45 ४५ त्याने चावणाऱ्या माशांचे थवे पाठवले त्यांनी त्यांना खाऊन टाकले, आणि बेडकांनी त्यांचा देश आच्छादला.
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 ४९ त्यांने आपल्या भयंकर रागाने त्यांच्याविरुद्ध तडाखे दिले. त्याने अरिष्ट आणणाऱ्या प्रतिनीधीप्रमाणे आपला क्रोध, प्रकोप आणि संकट पाठवले.
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].
50 ५० त्याने आपल्या रागासाठी मार्ग सपाट केला; त्याने त्यांना मरणापासून वाचविले नाही पण त्याने त्यांना मरीच्या हवाली केले.
He made a way to 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 firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
But 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 on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
55 ५५ त्याने त्यांच्यापुढून राष्ट्रांना हाकलून लावली, आणि त्यांना त्यांची वतने सूत्राने मापून नेमून दिली; आणि त्यांच्या तंबूत इस्राएलाचे वंश वसविले.
He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them 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 tempted and provoked the most high God, 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 unfaithfully 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 to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed 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 enemy’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.
The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
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 out of sleep, [and] like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
Moreover he refused the tabernacle 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 high [palaces], like the earth which he hath established 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 great with young he brought him to feed 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 fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
