1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ । उहाँको नाउँमा पुकारा गर । उहाँका कामहरू जातिहरूका माझमा प्रकट गर ।
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
2 उहाँको निम्ति गाओ । उहाँको स्‍तुति गाओ । उहाँका सबै अचम्मका कामहरूका बारेमा भन ।
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गर्व गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूका हृदय आनन्‍दित होस् ।
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 परमप्रभु र उहाँको शक्तिको खोजि गर । उहाँको उपस्थितिको निरन्‍तर खोजी गर ।
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्‍चर्य कामहरू र उहाँको मुखका आदेशहरूलाई याद गर,
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
6 ए उहाँका सेवक अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू, याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएका जनहरू हो ।
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आदेशहरू सारा पृथ्वीभरि छन् ।
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8 उहाँले आफ्नो करारलाई सदासर्वदा, आफूले आज्ञा गर्नुभएका वचनलाई हजार पुस्तासम्‍म सम्‍झनुहुन्छ ।
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
9 आफूले अब्राहामसँग गरेको करार र इसहाकसँग खाएको शपथलाई उहाँले सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10 यो उहाँले याकूबसँग आदेश रूपमा र इस्राएलसँग अनन्त करारको रूपमा पुष्‍टि गर्नुभयो ।
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 तिनीहरू संख्यामा थोरै, अति थोरै मात्र हुँदा र देशमा परदेशीहरू हुँदा नै उहाँले यसो भन्‍नुभयो ।
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
13 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा र एक राज्यबाट अर्को राज्यमा गए ।
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्ने अनुमति दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई हप्‍काउनुभयो ।
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरो अभिषिक्‍त जनलाई नछोओ र मेरा अगमवक्‍ताहरूका हानि नगर ।”
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16 उहाँ देशमा अनिकाल ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँ खानेकुराको सारा आपूर्ती बन्‍द गर्नुभयो ।
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
17 उहाँले तिनीहरू अगिअगि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाउनुभयो । योसेफलाई कमाराको रूपमा बेचिएका थिए ।
He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 तिनका खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाहरूले बाँधिएका थिए । तिनको घाँटीमा फालमको जन्जीर लगाइयो,
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
19 तिनले जे भनेका थिए सो हुन नआएसम्म । परमप्रभुको वचनले तिनको जाँच गर्‍यो ।
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
20 तिनलाई मुक्‍त गर्न राजाले सेवकहरू पठाए । मानिसहरूका शासकले तिनलाई मुक्‍त गरे ।
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 उनले तिनलाई आफ्‍नो सारा सम्पत्तिको शासकको रूपमा आफ्‍नो दरवारको निरीक्षक बनाए,
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 तिनले चाहेअनुरूप उनका शासकहरूलाई सल्‍लाह दिन र उनका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई बुद्धि सिकाउन ।
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23 त्‍यसपछि इस्राएल मिश्रदेशमा गए र याकूब केही समय हामको देशमा बसे ।
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई फल्दोफुल्दो बनाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूभन्दा बलियो बनाउनुभयो ।
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25 उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले घृणा गर्ने, आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्ने उहाँले बनाउनुभयो ।
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26 आफूले चुन्‍नुभएका आफ्ना सेवक मोशा र हारूनलाई उहाँले पठाउनुभयो ।
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 तिनीहरूले मिश्रीहरूका माझमा उहाँका चिन्हहरू, हामको देशमा उहाँ अचम्मका कामहरू गरे ।
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 उहाँले अन्धकार पठाउनुभयो र त्यो देशलाई अँध्‍यारो बनाउनुभयो, तर त्‍यसका मानिसहरूले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
29 उहाँले तिनीहरूका पानीलाई रगतमा बद्लिनुभयो र तिनीहरूका माछाहरू मार्नुभयो ।
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30 तिनीहरूका देश, तिनीहरूका शासकहरूका कोठाहरूमा समेत भ्यागुताहरूले भरिए ।
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31 उहाँले बोल्नुभयो र झिंगाहरू र भुसुनाहरूको हुल तिनीहरूको देशभरि आए ।
He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
32 तिनीहरूका देशमा बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वालासहित, उहाँले तिनीहरूको वर्सालाई असिनामा बद्लिनुभयो ।
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
33 उहाँले तिनीहरूका दाखका बोटहरू र अञ्‍जीरका रूखहरू नष्‍ट पार्नुभयो । उहाँ तिनीहरूका देशका रूखहरू भाँच्‍नुभयो ।
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34 उहाँ बोल्नुभयो र सलहहरू, साह्रै नै धेरै सलहहरू आए ।
He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
35 सलहहरूले तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका सबै वनस्पतिहरू खाए । तिनीहरूले जमिनका सबै फसलहरू खाए ।
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36 तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका हरेक जेठा सन्तान, तिनीहरूका बलको पहिलो फललाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37 उहाँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई सुन र चाँदीसहित हाबिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँका कुलमध्‍ये कुनैले पनि बाटोमा ठेस खाएन ।
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38 तिनीहरू निस्केर जाँदा मिश्रदेश खुसी थियो, किनकि मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूसँग डराएका थिए ।
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39 उहाँले ढाक्‍नलाई बादल फिंजाउनुभयो र रातलाई उज्यालो पार्न आगो बाल्‍नुभयो ।
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
40 इस्राएलीहरूले खानेकुरा मागे र उहाँले बट्टाई चरा दिनुभयो र स्वर्गको रोटीले तिनीहरूलाई सन्‍तुष्‍ट पार्नुभयो ।
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 उहाँले चट्टानलाई चिरा पार्नुभयो र त्‍यसबाट पानी बगेर निस्क्यो । उजाडस्थानमा ती नदीझैं बगे ।
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 किनकि उहाँले आफ्नो सेवक अब्राहामसँग गर्नुभएको आफ्‍नो पवित्र प्रतिज्ञालाइ सम्झिनुभयो ।
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
43 आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आनन्दसाथ, उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई जयजयकारको ध्वनिसँगै उहाँले डोर्‍याउनुभयो ।
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
44 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जातिहरूका देश दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूका सम्पत्तिमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार जमाए,
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
45 ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँका आदेशहरू पालन गरून् र उहाँका व्यवस्थाहरू मानून् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
