< २ शमूएल 22 >
1 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुमा दाऊदले यो गीत गाए, जुन दिन परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आफ्ना सबै शत्रुका हातबाट र शाऊलको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।
And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
2 तिनले प्रार्थना गरे, “परमप्रभु मेरो चट्टान र मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 परमेश्वर मेरो चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ । म उहाँमा शरण लिन्छु । उहाँ मेरो ढाल, मेरो मुक्तिको सिङ्, मेरो किल्ला र शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई हिंसाबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
4 म परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गर्ने छु, जो प्रशंसाको योग्य हुनुहुन्छ, र म आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट बचाइने छु ।
Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5 किनकि मृत्युका छालहरूले मलाई घेरे, विनाशको पानीको बाढीले मलाई व्याकुल बनायो ।
For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
6 चिहानका डोरीहरूले मलाई घेरे । मृत्युका पासोहरूले मलाई जालमा पारे । (Sheol )
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. (Sheol )
7 मेरो कष्टमा मैले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरें । मैले आफ्नो परमेश्वरमा पुकारा गरें । उहाँले आफ्नो मन्दिरबाट मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो र सहायताको निम्ति मेरो पुकारा उहाँको कानमा पुग्यो ।
In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
8 त्यसपछि पृथ्वी काम्यो र हल्लियो । स्वर्गका जगहरू कामे र हल्लिए, किनभने परमेश्वर रिसाउनुभएको थियो ।
Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9 उहाँको नाकको प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ माथि गयो र उहाँको मुखबाट आगोको ज्वाला निस्क्यो । यसले कोइलाहरू सल्किए ।
Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
10 उहाँले स्वर्ग खोल्नुभयो र तल आउनुभयो अनि बाक्लो अँध्यारो उहाँको पाउमुनि थियो ।
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
11 उहाँ करूबहरूमा सवार हुनुभयो र उड्नुभयो । उहाँलाई हावाको पखेटाहरूमा देखियो ।
And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 उहाँले आकाशमा भीषण वर्षाको बदललाई बटुलेर अन्धकारलाई आफ्नो वरिपरिको पाल बनाउनुभयो ।
And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 उहाँको सामु भएका बिजुलीको चमकबाट आगोका भुङ्ग्राहरू खसे ।
At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14 परमप्रभु स्वर्गहरूबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्चले कराउनुभयो ।
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15 उहाँले काँडहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो, चट्याङ्हरूले तिनीहरूलाई छरपष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 अनि समुद्रका प्रवाहहरू देखिए । परमप्रभुको हप्कीमा, उहाँको नाकको प्वालहरूका सासको विष्फोटनमा संसारका जगहरू उदाङ्गो भए ।
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 उहाँ माथिबाट तल पग्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई समात्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई उर्लिरहेको पानीबाट तानेर निकाल्नुभयो ।
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18 मेरो शक्तिशाली शत्रुहरूबाट र मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति धेरै बलियो थिए ।
He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 मेरो कष्टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा लड्न आए, तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो साहारा हुनुभयो ।
They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
20 उहाँले मलाई खुल्ला ठाउँमा ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो किनभने उहाँ मसँग प्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
21 परमप्रभुले मलाई मेरो धर्मिकताको नापअनुसार इनाम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरो हातको शुद्धताको नापबमोजिम मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ ।
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22 किनकि परमप्रभुका मार्गहरू मैले पालन गरेको छु र मेरो परमेश्वरबाट भड्किएर दुष्टतासाथ काम गरेको छैन ।
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 किनकि उहाँका सबै धार्मिक आदेशहरू मेरो सामु छन् । उहाँका विधिहरूका सम्बन्धमा तीबाट म तर्केको छैन ।
For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 म उहाँको सामु निर्दोष भएको छु र मैले आफैंलाई पापबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 यसकारण परमप्रभुले मेरो धार्मिकताको नापबमोजिम र उहाँको दृष्टिमा मेरो शुद्धताको सिमासम्म मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ ।
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
26 विश्वासयोग्य हुनेसित, तपाईंले आफूलाई विश्वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिससँग तपाईंले आफूलाई निर्दोष नै प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27 शुद्धसँग तपाईंले आफूलाई शुद्ध नै प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, तर बेइमानसँग तपाईं समझदार बन्नुहुन्छ ।
With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
28 कष्टमा परेका मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले बचाउनुहुन्छ, तर तपाईंका आँखा घमण्डीहरूका विरुद्धमा हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
29 किनभने हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो बत्ती हुनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुले मेरो अँध्यारोलाई चम्काउनुहुन्छ ।
For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
30 किनकि म तपाईंद्वारा मोर्चाहरूतिर दौडिन सक्छु । मेरो परमेश्वरद्वारा म पर्खाल नाघ्न सक्छु ।
For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
31 परमेश्वरको सम्बन्धमा उहाँको मार्ग सिद्ध छ । परमप्रभुको वचन शुद्ध छ । उहाँमा शरण लिने हरेकको निम्ति उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
32 किनभने परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्वर छ र, अनि हाम्रो परमेश्वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33 परमेश्वर मेरो शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँले निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा डोर्याउनुहुन्छ ।
The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34 उहाँले मेरा गोडाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै द्रुत बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्च स्थानहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
35 उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा बाहुलीहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
36 तपाईंले मलाई तपाईंको मुक्तिको ढाल दिनुभएको छ र तपाईंको कृपाले मलाई महान् बनाएको छ ।
Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
37 तपाईंले मेरा गोडामुनिका ठाउँलाई फराकिलो बनाउनुभएको छ, त्यसैले मेरा गोडाहरू चिप्लेका छैनन् ।
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38 मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई नाश पारें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म पछाडि फर्किनँ ।
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
39 मैले तिनीहरूलाई खत्तम पारें र तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारें । तिनीहरू उठ्न सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरू मेरा गोडामुनि ढलेका छन् ।
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 तपाईंले युद्धको निम्ति पेटीजस्तै गरी मलाई सामर्थ्य दिनुभयो । मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले मेरो अधीनमा राख्नुभयो ।
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41 तपाईंले मलाई मेरा शत्रुहरूको पिठ्युँ दिनुभयो । मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले सर्वनाश पारें ।
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42 तिनीहरूले सहायताको निम्ति पकारा गरे, तर तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि बचाएन । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुमा पुकारे, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43 मैले तिनीहरूलाई मैदानको धुलोझैं धुजा-धुजा हुने गरी कुटें, मैले तिनीहरूलाई बाटोको हिलोझैं कुल्चमिल्ची बनाएँ ।
Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
44 मेरा आफ्नै मानिसहरूका विवादहरूबाट पनि तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई जतिहरूका प्रमुखझैं सुरक्षित राख्नुभएको छ । मैले नचिनेको मानिसहरूले मेरो सेवा गर्छन् ।
Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
45 विदेशीहरूलाई मेरो सामु झुक्न बाध्य बनाइयो । तिनीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले आज्ञा पालन गरे ।
The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46 विदेशीहरू आफ्ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर काम्दै आए ।
The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47 परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो चट्टानको प्रशंसा होस् । मेरो मुक्तिको चट्टान परमेश्वर उच्च पारिनुभएको होस् ।
The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48 उहाँ नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले मेरो बदला लिनुहुन्छ, जसले मानिसहरूलाई मेरो अधीनमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49 मेरो शत्रुहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई स्वतन्त्र पार्नुहुन्छ । वास्तवमा, तपाईंले मलाई मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई हिंस्रक मानिसहरूबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
50 यसकराण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जतिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिन्छु । म तपाईंको नाउँको प्रशंसा गाउने छु ।
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51 परमेश्वर आफ्नो राजालाई ठुलो विजय दिनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले आफ्नो अभिषिक्त जन, दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूप्रति आफ्नो करारको बफदारीता प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
