१ इतिहास 16

1 तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूक ल्‍याए, अनि त्‍यसको निम्‍ति दाऊदले टाँगेको पालभित्र बिचमा राखे । तब तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सामु होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए ।

They brought the Ark of God and placed it in the tent that David had prepared for it. They presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings to God.

2 दाऊदले होमबल र मेलबलि चढाइसकेपछि, तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा मानिसहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।

Once David had finished presenting the burnt offerings and friendship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 तिनले हरेक इस्राएली, पुरुष र स्‍त्री दुबैलाई एउटा रोटी, एक टुक्रा मासु र किसमिसको केक खान दिए ।

Then he shared out to every Israelite, to every man and woman, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

4 परमप्रभुका सन्‍दूकअघि सेवा गर्न, र परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको उत्‍सव मनाउन, धन्‍यवाद चढाउन र प्रशंसा गर्न दाऊदले केही लेवीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरे ।

David assigned some of the Levites to serve as ministers before the Ark of the Lord, to remember, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.

5 ती लेवीहरू अगुवा आसाप, तिनीपछि दोस्रा जकरिया, यीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, मत्तित्‍याह, एलीआब, बनायाह, ओबेद-एदोम र यीएल थिए । तिनीहरूले सारङ्गी र वीणा बजाउँथे । आसापले चाहिं ठुलो स्वरमा झ्‍याली बजाउनुपर्थ्यो ।

Asaph was the one in charge, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph struck the cymbals,

6 बनायाह र यहासेल पुजारीहरूले परमेश्‍वरका करारको सन्‍दूकको अगि निरन्‍तर रूपमा तुरही बजाउनुपर्थ्यो ।

and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets continually in front of the Ark of God's Agreement.

7 तब त्‍यस दिन दाऊदले पहिलो पल्‍ट आसाप र तिनका दाजुभाइलाई परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति धन्‍यवादको यो गीत गाउनलाई नियुक्त गरे ।

This was the day that David first instructed Asaph and his relatives to express thanks to the Lord in this way:

8 परमप्रभुलाई धन्‍यवाद चढाओ, उहाँका नाउँको पुकारा गर, जातिहरूका बीचमा उहाँका कार्यहरू प्रचार गर ।

Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!

9 उहाँको निम्‍ति गाओ, उहाँको स्‍तुति गाओ, उहाँका सबै अचम्मका कार्यहरूको बयान गर ।

Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!

10 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गौरव गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूको हृदय आनन्‍दित होस्‌ ।

Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!

11 परमप्रभु र उहाँका शक्तिको खोजी गर । निरन्‍तर उहाँको उपस्‍थिति खोज ।

Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be with him.

12 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्‍मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्‍चर्यकर्म र उहाँले सुनाउनुभएका फैसलाहरू स्‍मरण गर,

Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,

13 ए उहाँका दास इस्राएलका सन्तान हो, ए याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएकाहरू हो ।

descendants of Israel, children of Jacob, his chosen people.

14 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍छ, समस्‍त पृथ्‍वीमा उहाँका फैसलाहरू रहन्‍छन्‌ ।

He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.

15 आफ्‍नो करारलाई उहाँले सदासर्वदा स्‍मरण गर्नुहुन्‍छ, हजार पुस्‍तालाई उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नभएका वचन सम्‍झनुहुन्‍छ।

He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;

16 उहाँले अब्राहामसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करार र इसहाकसँग गर्नुभएको प्रतिज्ञा सम्झनुहुन्छ ।

the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.

17 यस कुरालाई उहाँले आदेशको रूपमा याकूबसित, र इस्राएलसँग अनन्‍त करारको रूपमा पुष्‍टि गर्नुभयो ।

The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this everlasting agreement with Israel:

18 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा, तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”

saying, “I will give the land of Canaan to you for you to possess.”

19 तिनीहरू थोरै सङ्ख्यामा मात्र हुँदा, साह्रै थोरै हुँदा र तिनीहरू त्‍यो देशमा विदेशीहरू थिए,

He said this when there were only a few of you, just a small group of foreigners in the land.

20 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा, र एक राज्‍यबाट अर्को राज्‍यमा फिरन्‍ता भए ।

They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.

21 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि अत्‍याचार गर्न दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभयो ।

He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:

22 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा अभिषिक्त जनहरूलाई नछोओ, र मेरा अगमवक्ताहरूलाई केही हानि नगर ।”

“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”

23 हे सारा पृथ्‍वी, परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति गाओ, दिनहुँ उहाँले दिनुभएको उद्धारको घोषणा गर ।

Sing to the Lord, all the earth, sing to the Lord! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!

24 जातिहरूका बिचमा उहाँका महिमाको घोषणा गर, सारा जातिहरूका बिचमा उहाँका अचम्‍मका कामहरूको वर्णन गर ।

Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the wonderful things he does among all peoples.

25 किनकि परमप्रभु महान्‌ हुनुहुन्‍छ, र उच्‍च प्रशंसा हुनुपर्छ, र सारा देवताहरूभन्‍दा बढी उहाँकै भय राखिनुपर्छ ।

For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.

26 किनकि जातिहरूका सबै देवताहरू केवल मूर्ति मात्र हुन्, तर परमप्रभुले त आकाशको सृष्‍टि गर्नुभयो ।

For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!

27 उहाँको उपस्‍थितिमा प्रताप र गौरव छन्, उहाँको वासस्‍थानमा शक्ति र महिमा छन्‌ ।

Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.

28 मानिसहरूका वंश हो, परमप्रभुलाई प्रशंसा चढाओ, परमप्रभुलाई महिमा र शक्ति चढाओ ।

Give the Lord credit, nations of the world, credit him with glory and strength.

29 परमप्रभुलाई उहाँको नाउँअनुसारको महिमा चढाओ । भेटी ल्‍याओ र उहाँको सामु आओ । पवित्रताको वैभवमा परमप्रभुलाई दण्‍डवत्‌ गर ।

Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness.

30 हे सारा पृथ्‍वी, उहाँको सामु थरथरी हो । संसार पनि स्थापित भएको छ । यसलाई हल्‍लाउन सकिंदैन ।

Let everyone on earth tremble in his presence. The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart.

31 स्‍वर्ग आनन्‍दित होस्, र पृथ्‍वी रमाओस् । तिनले जातिहरूका बीचमा भनून्, “परमप्रभु नै राज्‍य गर्नुहुन्‍छ ।”

Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy. Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!”

32 समुद्र गर्जियोस् र तिनमा भरिएका सबै थोकले हर्षनाद गरून्‌ । जमिन र त्‍यसमा भएका सबै कुरा उल्‍लसित होऊन्‌ ।

Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise! Let the fields and everything there celebrate;

33 अनि जङ्गलमा भएका रूखहरू परमप्रभुको सम्मुख आनन्दले गाउन्, किनकि उहाँ पृथ्‍वीको न्‍याय गर्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।

Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy, for he is coming to judge the earth.

34 परमप्रभुलाई धन्‍यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ असल हुनुहुन्‍छ, किनकि उहाँको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताको सदासर्वदा रहन्‍छ ।

Say thank you to the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!

35 तब यसो भन, “हे हाम्रा उद्धारका परमेश्‍वर, हामीलाई बचाउनुहोस्‌ । हामीलाई एकसाथ भेला गर्नुहोस्, र अरू जातिहरूबाट छुटकारा हामीलाई दिनुहोस्, ताकि हामी तपाईंको पवित्र नाउँलाई धन्‍यवाद दिन, र तपाईंको प्रशंसामा महिमा दिन सकौं ।”

Shout out, “Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, rescue us, so we can thank you and praise how magnificent and holy you are.”

36 परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको, सदासर्वदै प्रशंसा होस्‌ । सबै मानिसहरूले “आमेन” भने र परमप्रभुको स्‍तुति गरे ।”

How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the Lord!”

37 यसैले दाऊदले दिन-दिनको आवश्‍यक काम निरन्‍तर रूपमा गर्न त्‍यहाँ परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूकको सामु आसाप र तिनका दाजुभाइलाई राखे ।

Then David made sure Asaph and his brothers would minister continually before the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, performing whatever services were needed every day,

38 ओबेद-एदोम र तिनका अठसट्ठी जना आफन्तहरू पनि समावेश गरिएका थिए । यदूदूनका छोरा ओबेद-एदोम र होसा द्वारपालहरू भए ।

as well as Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, were gatekeepers.

39 सादोक पुजारी र तिनका मित्र पुजारीहरूलर गिबोन डाँडामा भएको परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्‍थानको सामु सेवा गर्नुपर्थ्‍यो ।

David put Zadok the priest and his fellow priests in charge of the Ark of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon

40 परमप्रभुको व्‍यवस्‍थामा लेखिएका सबै कुराबमोजिम तिनीहरूले बिहान र बेलुकी निरन्‍तर रूपमा परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति वेदीमा होमबलि चढाउनुपर्थ्यो । यो कुरा उहाँले इस्राएललाई आज्ञाको रूपमा दिनुभयो ।

to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord which he had ordered Israel to follow.

41 तिनीहरूसँगै हेमान र यदूतून र नाउँ लिएर चुनिएका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुलाई धन्‍यवाद चढाउन खटाइए, किनभने उहाँ करार विश्‍वस्‍तता सदासर्वदै रहिरहन्‍छ ।

They were accompanied by Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and identified by name to give thanks to the Lord, for “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”

42 पवित्र भजनको निम्‍ति तुरहीहरू र झ्‍यालीहरू र अरू बाजाहरू बजाउनेका निरीक्षक हेमान र यदूतून थिए । यदूतूनका छोराहरूले मूल ढोकाको रेखदेख गर्थे ।

Heman and Jeduthun used their trumpets and cymbals to make music to accompany the songs of God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.

43 तब सबै मानिसहरू आ-आफ्‍नो घर फर्के, र दाऊदचाहिं आफ्‍नो परिवारलाई आशीर्वाद दिन गए ।

Then all the people went home, and David went to bless his family.
