२ शमूएल 22
1 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुमा दाऊदले यो गीत गाए, जुन दिन परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आफ्ना सबै शत्रुका हातबाट र शाऊलको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 तिनले प्रार्थना गरे, “परमप्रभु मेरो चट्टान र मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
3 परमेश्वर मेरो चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ । म उहाँमा शरण लिन्छु । उहाँ मेरो ढाल, मेरो मुक्तिको सिङ्, मेरो किल्ला र शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई हिंसाबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
4 म परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गर्ने छु, जो प्रशंसाको योग्य हुनुहुन्छ, र म आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट बचाइने छु ।
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 किनकि मृत्युका छालहरूले मलाई घेरे, विनाशको पानीको बाढीले मलाई व्याकुल बनायो ।
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
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 ।
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 त्यसपछि पृथ्वी काम्यो र हल्लियो । स्वर्गका जगहरू कामे र हल्लिए, किनभने परमेश्वर रिसाउनुभएको थियो ।
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
9 उहाँको नाकको प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ माथि गयो र उहाँको मुखबाट आगोको ज्वाला निस्क्यो । यसले कोइलाहरू सल्किए ।
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
10 उहाँले स्वर्ग खोल्नुभयो र तल आउनुभयो अनि बाक्लो अँध्यारो उहाँको पाउमुनि थियो ।
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
11 उहाँ करूबहरूमा सवार हुनुभयो र उड्नुभयो । उहाँलाई हावाको पखेटाहरूमा देखियो ।
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
12 उहाँले आकाशमा भीषण वर्षाको बदललाई बटुलेर अन्धकारलाई आफ्नो वरिपरिको पाल बनाउनुभयो ।
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
13 उहाँको सामु भएका बिजुलीको चमकबाट आगोका भुङ्ग्राहरू खसे ।
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 परमप्रभु स्वर्गहरूबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्चले कराउनुभयो ।
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 उहाँले काँडहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो, चट्याङ्हरूले तिनीहरूलाई छरपष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
16 अनि समुद्रका प्रवाहहरू देखिए । परमप्रभुको हप्कीमा, उहाँको नाकको प्वालहरूका सासको विष्फोटनमा संसारका जगहरू उदाङ्गो भए ।
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 उहाँ माथिबाट तल पग्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई समात्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई उर्लिरहेको पानीबाट तानेर निकाल्नुभयो ।
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
18 मेरो शक्तिशाली शत्रुहरूबाट र मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति धेरै बलियो थिए ।
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
19 मेरो कष्टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा लड्न आए, तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो साहारा हुनुभयो ।
They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
20 उहाँले मलाई खुल्ला ठाउँमा ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो किनभने उहाँ मसँग प्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
21 परमप्रभुले मलाई मेरो धर्मिकताको नापअनुसार इनाम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरो हातको शुद्धताको नापबमोजिम मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ ।
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 किनकि परमप्रभुका मार्गहरू मैले पालन गरेको छु र मेरो परमेश्वरबाट भड्किएर दुष्टतासाथ काम गरेको छैन ।
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
23 किनकि उहाँका सबै धार्मिक आदेशहरू मेरो सामु छन् । उहाँका विधिहरूका सम्बन्धमा तीबाट म तर्केको छैन ।
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
24 म उहाँको सामु निर्दोष भएको छु र मैले आफैंलाई पापबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
25 यसकारण परमप्रभुले मेरो धार्मिकताको नापबमोजिम र उहाँको दृष्टिमा मेरो शुद्धताको सिमासम्म मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ ।
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
26 विश्वासयोग्य हुनेसित, तपाईंले आफूलाई विश्वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिससँग तपाईंले आफूलाई निर्दोष नै प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
27 शुद्धसँग तपाईंले आफूलाई शुद्ध नै प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, तर बेइमानसँग तपाईं समझदार बन्नुहुन्छ ।
You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.
28 कष्टमा परेका मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले बचाउनुहुन्छ, तर तपाईंका आँखा घमण्डीहरूका विरुद्धमा हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
You rescue those who are humble, but you watch [MTY] those who are proud and humiliate them.
29 किनभने हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो बत्ती हुनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुले मेरो अँध्यारोलाई चम्काउनुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
30 किनकि म तपाईंद्वारा मोर्चाहरूतिर दौडिन सक्छु । मेरो परमेश्वरद्वारा म पर्खाल नाघ्न सक्छु ।
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
31 परमेश्वरको सम्बन्धमा उहाँको मार्ग सिद्ध छ । परमप्रभुको वचन शुद्ध छ । उहाँमा शरण लिने हरेकको निम्ति उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
32 किनभने परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्वर छ र, अनि हाम्रो परमेश्वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
33 परमेश्वर मेरो शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँले निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा डोर्याउनुहुन्छ ।
God, you [whom I worship] are a strong refuge for me; you keep me safe on the roads that I [walk on].
34 उहाँले मेरा गोडाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै द्रुत बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्च स्थानहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
[When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
35 उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा बाहुलीहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
36 तपाईंले मलाई तपाईंको मुक्तिको ढाल दिनुभएको छ र तपाईंको कृपाले मलाई महान् बनाएको छ ।
[It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.
37 तपाईंले मेरा गोडामुनिका ठाउँलाई फराकिलो बनाउनुभएको छ, त्यसैले मेरा गोडाहरू चिप्लेका छैनन् ।
You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].
38 मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई नाश पारें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म पछाडि फर्किनँ ।
“pursued my enemies and defeated them; I did not stop [fighting them] until they were all killed.
39 मैले तिनीहरूलाई खत्तम पारें र तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारें । तिनीहरू उठ्न सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरू मेरा गोडामुनि ढलेका छन् ।
I struck them down; I stabbed them with my sword; they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
40 तपाईंले युद्धको निम्ति पेटीजस्तै गरी मलाई सामर्थ्य दिनुभयो । मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले मेरो अधीनमा राख्नुभयो ।
You have given me strength for fighting battles and caused those who were attacking me to fall down, and I trampled on them.
41 तपाईंले मलाई मेरा शत्रुहरूको पिठ्युँ दिनुभयो । मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले सर्वनाश पारें ।
You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me; I destroyed those who hated me.
42 तिनीहरूले सहायताको निम्ति पकारा गरे, तर तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि बचाएन । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुमा पुकारे, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
43 मैले तिनीहरूलाई मैदानको धुलोझैं धुजा-धुजा हुने गरी कुटें, मैले तिनीहरूलाई बाटोको हिलोझैं कुल्चमिल्ची बनाएँ ।
I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
44 मेरा आफ्नै मानिसहरूका विवादहरूबाट पनि तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई जतिहरूका प्रमुखझैं सुरक्षित राख्नुभएको छ । मैले नचिनेको मानिसहरूले मेरो सेवा गर्छन् ।
“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
45 विदेशीहरूलाई मेरो सामु झुक्न बाध्य बनाइयो । तिनीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले आज्ञा पालन गरे ।
Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
46 विदेशीहरू आफ्ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर काम्दै आए ।
They became afraid, and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
47 परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो चट्टानको प्रशंसा होस् । मेरो मुक्तिको चट्टान परमेश्वर उच्च पारिनुभएको होस् ।
“Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like [MET] a [huge overhanging] rock under which I am safe/protected! You are the one who rescues me [MET]. Everyone should exalt/honor/praise you.
48 उहाँ नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले मेरो बदला लिनुहुन्छ, जसले मानिसहरूलाई मेरो अधीनमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
49 मेरो शत्रुहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई स्वतन्त्र पार्नुहुन्छ । वास्तवमा, तपाईंले मलाई मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूभन्दा माथि उचाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई हिंस्रक मानिसहरूबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
You delivered me from my enemies; you caused me to be honored more than they were; you rescued me from men who [always] acted violently.
50 यसकराण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जतिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिन्छु । म तपाईंको नाउँको प्रशंसा गाउने छु ।
Because of all that, I exalt you among many people-groups and I sing to praise you.
51 परमेश्वर आफ्नो राजालाई ठुलो विजय दिनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले आफ्नो अभिषिक्त जन, दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूप्रति आफ्नो करारको बफदारीता प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to powerfully conquer [my enemies]; you faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever.
