< भजनसंग्रह 105 >
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ । उहाँको नाउँमा पुकारा गर । उहाँका कामहरू जातिहरूका माझमा प्रकट गर ।
O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name: make known among the people his deeds.
2 उहाँको निम्ति गाओ । उहाँको स्तुति गाओ । उहाँका सबै अचम्मका कामहरूका बारेमा भन ।
Sing unto, him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
3 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गर्व गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूका हृदय आनन्दित होस् ।
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 परमप्रभु र उहाँको शक्तिको खोजि गर । उहाँको उपस्थितिको निरन्तर खोजी गर ।
Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
5 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्चर्य कामहरू र उहाँको मुखका आदेशहरूलाई याद गर,
Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;
6 ए उहाँका सेवक अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू, याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएका जनहरू हो ।
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
7 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आदेशहरू सारा पृथ्वीभरि छन् ।
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
8 उहाँले आफ्नो करारलाई सदासर्वदा, आफूले आज्ञा गर्नुभएका वचनलाई हजार पुस्तासम्म सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.
9 आफूले अब्राहामसँग गरेको करार र इसहाकसँग खाएको शपथलाई उहाँले सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;
10 यो उहाँले याकूबसँग आदेश रूपमा र इस्राएलसँग अनन्त करारको रूपमा पुष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”
Saying, “Unto thee will I give 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 but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
13 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा र एक राज्यबाट अर्को राज्यमा गए ।
And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
14 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्ने अनुमति दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई हप्काउनुभयो ।
He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
15 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो अभिषिक्त जनलाई नछोओ र मेरा अगमवक्ताहरूका हानि नगर ।”
[Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—
16 उहाँ देशमा अनिकाल ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँ खानेकुराको सारा आपूर्ती बन्द गर्नुभयो ।
And he called for a famine over the land; every staff of bread he broke.
17 उहाँले तिनीहरू अगिअगि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाउनुभयो । योसेफलाई कमाराको रूपमा बेचिएका थिए ।
He sent a man before them; for a servant was Joseph sold;
18 तिनका खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाहरूले बाँधिएका थिए । तिनको घाँटीमा फालमको जन्जीर लगाइयो,
They forced into fetters his feet; in iron was his body put:
19 तिनले जे भनेका थिए सो हुन नआएसम्म । परमप्रभुको वचनले तिनको जाँच गर्यो ।
Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
20 तिनलाई मुक्त गर्न राजाले सेवकहरू पठाए । मानिसहरूका शासकले तिनलाई मुक्त गरे ।
The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
21 उनले तिनलाई आफ्नो सारा सम्पत्तिको शासकको रूपमा आफ्नो दरवारको निरीक्षक बनाए,
He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:
22 तिनले चाहेअनुरूप उनका शासकहरूलाई सल्लाह दिन र उनका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई बुद्धि सिकाउन ।
That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.
23 त्यसपछि इस्राएल मिश्रदेशमा गए र याकूब केही समय हामको देशमा बसे ।
Then came Israel into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई फल्दोफुल्दो बनाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना शत्रुहरूभन्दा बलियो बनाउनुभयो ।
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले घृणा गर्ने, आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्ने उहाँले बनाउनुभयो ।
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilely with his servants.
26 आफूले चुन्नुभएका आफ्ना सेवक मोशा र हारूनलाई उहाँले पठाउनुभयो ।
He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of.
27 तिनीहरूले मिश्रीहरूका माझमा उहाँका चिन्हहरू, हामको देशमा उहाँ अचम्मका कामहरू गरे ।
They displayed among them his effective signs, 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 made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 उहाँले तिनीहरूका पानीलाई रगतमा बद्लिनुभयो र तिनीहरूका माछाहरू मार्नुभयो ।
He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 तिनीहरूका देश, तिनीहरूका शासकहरूका कोठाहरूमा समेत भ्यागुताहरूले भरिए ।
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings.
31 उहाँले बोल्नुभयो र झिंगाहरू र भुसुनाहरूको हुल तिनीहरूको देशभरि आए ।
He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary.
32 तिनीहरूका देशमा बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वालासहित, उहाँले तिनीहरूको वर्सालाई असिनामा बद्लिनुभयो ।
He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land.
33 उहाँले तिनीहरूका दाखका बोटहरू र अञ्जीरका रूखहरू नष्ट पार्नुभयो । उहाँ तिनीहरूका देशका रूखहरू भाँच्नुभयो ।
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
34 उहाँ बोल्नुभयो र सलहहरू, साह्रै नै धेरै सलहहरू आए ।
He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
35 सलहहरूले तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका सबै वनस्पतिहरू खाए । तिनीहरूले जमिनका सबै फसलहरू खाए ।
And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका हरेक जेठा सन्तान, तिनीहरूका बलको पहिलो फललाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength.
37 उहाँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई सुन र चाँदीसहित हाबिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँका कुलमध्ये कुनैले पनि बाटोमा ठेस खाएन ।
And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one that stumbled among his tribes.
38 तिनीहरू निस्केर जाँदा मिश्रदेश खुसी थियो, किनकि मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूसँग डराएका थिए ।
Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen upon them.
39 उहाँले ढाक्नलाई बादल फिंजाउनुभयो र रातलाई उज्यालो पार्न आगो बाल्नुभयो ।
He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 इस्राएलीहरूले खानेकुरा मागे र उहाँले बट्टाई चरा दिनुभयो र स्वर्गको रोटीले तिनीहरूलाई सन्तुष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them.
41 उहाँले चट्टानलाई चिरा पार्नुभयो र त्यसबाट पानी बगेर निस्क्यो । उजाडस्थानमा ती नदीझैं बगे ।
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 किनकि उहाँले आफ्नो सेवक अब्राहामसँग गर्नुभएको आफ्नो पवित्र प्रतिज्ञालाइ सम्झिनुभयो ।
For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
43 आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आनन्दसाथ, उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई जयजयकारको ध्वनिसँगै उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
44 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जातिहरूका देश दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूका सम्पत्तिमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार जमाए,
And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
45 ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँका आदेशहरू पालन गरून् र उहाँका व्यवस्थाहरू मानून् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
