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 Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].
2 दाऊदले होमबल र मेलबलि चढाइसकेपछि, तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा मानिसहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
3 तिनले हरेक इस्राएली, पुरुष र स्त्री दुबैलाई एउटा रोटी, एक टुक्रा मासु र किसमिसको केक खान दिए ।
He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
4 परमप्रभुका सन्दूकअघि सेवा गर्न, र परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको उत्सव मनाउन, धन्यवाद चढाउन र प्रशंसा गर्न दाऊदले केही लेवीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरे ।
Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
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, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.
6 बनायाह र यहासेल पुजारीहरूले परमेश्वरका करारको सन्दूकको अगि निरन्तर रूपमा तुरही बजाउनुपर्थ्यो ।
Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
7 तब त्यस दिन दाऊदले पहिलो पल्ट आसाप र तिनका दाजुभाइलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति धन्यवादको यो गीत गाउनलाई नियुक्त गरे ।
On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
8 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद चढाओ, उहाँका नाउँको पुकारा गर, जातिहरूका बीचमा उहाँका कार्यहरू प्रचार गर ।
Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
9 उहाँको निम्ति गाओ, उहाँको स्तुति गाओ, उहाँका सबै अचम्मका कार्यहरूको बयान गर ।
Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
10 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गौरव गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूको हृदय आनन्दित होस् ।
Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
11 परमप्रभु र उहाँका शक्तिको खोजी गर । निरन्तर उहाँको उपस्थिति खोज ।
Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
12 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्चर्यकर्म र उहाँले सुनाउनुभएका फैसलाहरू स्मरण गर,
Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
13 ए उहाँका दास इस्राएलका सन्तान हो, ए याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएकाहरू हो ।
We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
14 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ, समस्त पृथ्वीमा उहाँका फैसलाहरू रहन्छन् ।
Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
15 आफ्नो करारलाई उहाँले सदासर्वदा स्मरण गर्नुहुन्छ, हजार पुस्तालाई उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नभएका वचन सम्झनुहुन्छ।
He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
16 उहाँले अब्राहामसित बाँध्नुभएको करार र इसहाकसँग गर्नुभएको प्रतिज्ञा सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
17 यस कुरालाई उहाँले आदेशको रूपमा याकूबसित, र इस्राएलसँग अनन्त करारको रूपमा पुष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
18 उहाँले भन्नुभयो “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा, तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”
What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
19 तिनीहरू थोरै सङ्ख्यामा मात्र हुँदा, साह्रै थोरै हुँदा र तिनीहरू त्यो देशमा विदेशीहरू थिए,
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);
20 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा, र एक राज्यबाट अर्को राज्यमा फिरन्ता भए ।
they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
21 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि अत्याचार गर्न दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभयो ।
But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
22 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “मेरा अभिषिक्त जनहरूलाई नछोओ, र मेरा अगमवक्ताहरूलाई केही हानि नगर ।”
“Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
23 हे सारा पृथ्वी, परमप्रभुको निम्ति गाओ, दिनहुँ उहाँले दिनुभएको उद्धारको घोषणा गर ।
You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
24 जातिहरूका बिचमा उहाँका महिमाको घोषणा गर, सारा जातिहरूका बिचमा उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूको वर्णन गर ।
Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
25 किनकि परमप्रभु महान् हुनुहुन्छ, र उच्च प्रशंसा हुनुपर्छ, र सारा देवताहरूभन्दा बढी उहाँकै भय राखिनुपर्छ ।
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
26 किनकि जातिहरूका सबै देवताहरू केवल मूर्ति मात्र हुन्, तर परमप्रभुले त आकाशको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
27 उहाँको उपस्थितिमा प्रताप र गौरव छन्, उहाँको वासस्थानमा शक्ति र महिमा छन् ।
He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
28 मानिसहरूका वंश हो, परमप्रभुलाई प्रशंसा चढाओ, परमप्रभुलाई महिमा र शक्ति चढाओ ।
You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
29 परमप्रभुलाई उहाँको नाउँअनुसारको महिमा चढाओ । भेटी ल्याओ र उहाँको सामु आओ । पवित्रताको वैभवमा परमप्रभुलाई दण्डवत् गर ।
Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
30 हे सारा पृथ्वी, उहाँको सामु थरथरी हो । संसार पनि स्थापित भएको छ । यसलाई हल्लाउन सकिंदैन ।
Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.
31 स्वर्ग आनन्दित होस्, र पृथ्वी रमाओस् । तिनले जातिहरूका बीचमा भनून्, “परमप्रभु नै राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
32 समुद्र गर्जियोस् र तिनमा भरिएका सबै थोकले हर्षनाद गरून् । जमिन र त्यसमा भएका सबै कुरा उल्लसित होऊन् ।
The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.
33 अनि जङ्गलमा भएका रूखहरू परमप्रभुको सम्मुख आनन्दले गाउन्, किनकि उहाँ पृथ्वीको न्याय गर्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.
34 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ असल हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तताको सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us 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 ।”
Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”
36 परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको, सदासर्वदै प्रशंसा होस् । सबै मानिसहरूले “आमेन” भने र परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे ।”
Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.
37 यसैले दाऊदले दिन-दिनको आवश्यक काम निरन्तर रूपमा गर्न त्यहाँ परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूकको सामु आसाप र तिनका दाजुभाइलाई राखे ।
Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.
38 ओबेद-एदोम र तिनका अठसट्ठी जना आफन्तहरू पनि समावेश गरिएका थिए । यदूदूनका छोरा ओबेद-एदोम र होसा द्वारपालहरू भए ।
David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].
39 सादोक पुजारी र तिनका मित्र पुजारीहरूलर गिबोन डाँडामा भएको परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको सामु सेवा गर्नुपर्थ्यो ।
David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].
40 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका सबै कुराबमोजिम तिनीहरूले बिहान र बेलुकी निरन्तर रूपमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति वेदीमा होमबलि चढाउनुपर्थ्यो । यो कुरा उहाँले इस्राएललाई आज्ञाको रूपमा दिनुभयो ।
Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.
41 तिनीहरूसँगै हेमान र यदूतून र नाउँ लिएर चुनिएका मानिसहरू परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद चढाउन खटाइए, किनभने उहाँ करार विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदै रहिरहन्छ ।
With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people 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 were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].
43 तब सबै मानिसहरू आ-आफ्नो घर फर्के, र दाऊदचाहिं आफ्नो परिवारलाई आशीर्वाद दिन गए ।
Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
