< भजनसंग्रह 105 >
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ । उहाँको नाउँमा पुकारा गर । उहाँका कामहरू जातिहरूका माझमा प्रकट गर ।
Give thanks to the Lord, call on 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, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
3 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गर्व गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूका हृदय आनन्दित होस् ।
Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
4 परमप्रभु र उहाँको शक्तिको खोजि गर । उहाँको उपस्थितिको निरन्तर खोजी गर ।
Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
5 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्चर्य कामहरू र उहाँको मुखका आदेशहरूलाई याद गर,
Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
6 ए उहाँका सेवक अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू, याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएका जनहरू हो ।
you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आदेशहरू सारा पृथ्वीभरि छन् ।
He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
8 उहाँले आफ्नो करारलाई सदासर्वदा, आफूले आज्ञा गर्नुभएका वचनलाई हजार पुस्तासम्म सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
9 आफूले अब्राहामसँग गरेको करार र इसहाकसँग खाएको शपथलाई उहाँले सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
10 यो उहाँले याकूबसँग आदेश रूपमा र इस्राएलसँग अनन्त करारको रूपमा पुष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
11 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”
to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
12 तिनीहरू संख्यामा थोरै, अति थोरै मात्र हुँदा र देशमा परदेशीहरू हुँदा नै उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो ।
And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
13 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा र एक राज्यबाट अर्को राज्यमा गए ।
wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
14 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्ने अनुमति दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई हप्काउनुभयो ।
he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
15 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो अभिषिक्त जनलाई नछोओ र मेरा अगमवक्ताहरूका हानि नगर ।”
He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
16 उहाँ देशमा अनिकाल ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँ खानेकुराको सारा आपूर्ती बन्द गर्नुभयो ।
When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
17 उहाँले तिनीहरू अगिअगि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाउनुभयो । योसेफलाई कमाराको रूपमा बेचिएका थिए ।
he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 तिनका खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाहरूले बाँधिएका थिए । तिनको घाँटीमा फालमको जन्जीर लगाइयो,
His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
19 तिनले जे भनेका थिए सो हुन नआएसम्म । परमप्रभुको वचनले तिनको जाँच गर्यो ।
till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
20 तिनलाई मुक्त गर्न राजाले सेवकहरू पठाए । मानिसहरूका शासकले तिनलाई मुक्त गरे ।
The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
21 उनले तिनलाई आफ्नो सारा सम्पत्तिको शासकको रूपमा आफ्नो दरवारको निरीक्षक बनाए,
He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
22 तिनले चाहेअनुरूप उनका शासकहरूलाई सल्लाह दिन र उनका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई बुद्धि सिकाउन ।
to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
23 त्यसपछि इस्राएल मिश्रदेशमा गए र याकूब केही समय हामको देशमा बसे ।
Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई फल्दोफुल्दो बनाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना शत्रुहरूभन्दा बलियो बनाउनुभयो ।
His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
25 उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले घृणा गर्ने, आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्ने उहाँले बनाउनुभयो ।
He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
26 आफूले चुन्नुभएका आफ्ना सेवक मोशा र हारूनलाई उहाँले पठाउनुभयो ।
He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
27 तिनीहरूले मिश्रीहरूका माझमा उहाँका चिन्हहरू, हामको देशमा उहाँ अचम्मका कामहरू गरे ।
portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
28 उहाँले अन्धकार पठाउनुभयो र त्यो देशलाई अँध्यारो बनाउनुभयो, तर त्यसका मानिसहरूले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
29 उहाँले तिनीहरूका पानीलाई रगतमा बद्लिनुभयो र तिनीहरूका माछाहरू मार्नुभयो ।
He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
30 तिनीहरूका देश, तिनीहरूका शासकहरूका कोठाहरूमा समेत भ्यागुताहरूले भरिए ।
Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
31 उहाँले बोल्नुभयो र झिंगाहरू र भुसुनाहरूको हुल तिनीहरूको देशभरि आए ।
At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
32 तिनीहरूका देशमा बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वालासहित, उहाँले तिनीहरूको वर्सालाई असिनामा बद्लिनुभयो ।
He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
33 उहाँले तिनीहरूका दाखका बोटहरू र अञ्जीरका रूखहरू नष्ट पार्नुभयो । उहाँ तिनीहरूका देशका रूखहरू भाँच्नुभयो ।
smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
34 उहाँ बोल्नुभयो र सलहहरू, साह्रै नै धेरै सलहहरू आए ।
At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
35 सलहहरूले तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका सबै वनस्पतिहरू खाए । तिनीहरूले जमिनका सबै फसलहरू खाए ।
which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
36 तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका हरेक जेठा सन्तान, तिनीहरूका बलको पहिलो फललाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
37 उहाँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई सुन र चाँदीसहित हाबिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँका कुलमध्ये कुनैले पनि बाटोमा ठेस खाएन ।
Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
38 तिनीहरू निस्केर जाँदा मिश्रदेश खुसी थियो, किनकि मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूसँग डराएका थिए ।
Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
39 उहाँले ढाक्नलाई बादल फिंजाउनुभयो र रातलाई उज्यालो पार्न आगो बाल्नुभयो ।
He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
40 इस्राएलीहरूले खानेकुरा मागे र उहाँले बट्टाई चरा दिनुभयो र स्वर्गको रोटीले तिनीहरूलाई सन्तुष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
41 उहाँले चट्टानलाई चिरा पार्नुभयो र त्यसबाट पानी बगेर निस्क्यो । उजाडस्थानमा ती नदीझैं बगे ।
He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
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 ।
So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
44 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जातिहरूका देश दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूका सम्पत्तिमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार जमाए,
And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
45 ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँका आदेशहरू पालन गरून् र उहाँका व्यवस्थाहरू मानून् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
