भजनसंग्रह 105
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ । उहाँको नाउँमा पुकारा गर । उहाँका कामहरू जातिहरूका माझमा प्रकट गर ।
Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
2 उहाँको निम्ति गाओ । उहाँको स्तुति गाओ । उहाँका सबै अचम्मका कामहरूका बारेमा भन ।
Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
3 उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा गर्व गर । परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेहरूका हृदय आनन्दित होस् ।
Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
4 परमप्रभु र उहाँको शक्तिको खोजि गर । उहाँको उपस्थितिको निरन्तर खोजी गर ।
Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
5 उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरू, उहाँका आश्चर्य कामहरू र उहाँको मुखका आदेशहरूलाई याद गर,
You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
6 ए उहाँका सेवक अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू, याकूबका मानिसहरू, उहाँका चुनिएका जनहरू हो ।
7 उहाँ परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आदेशहरू सारा पृथ्वीभरि छन् ।
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 उहाँले आफ्नो करारलाई सदासर्वदा, आफूले आज्ञा गर्नुभएका वचनलाई हजार पुस्तासम्म सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 आफूले अब्राहामसँग गरेको करार र इसहाकसँग खाएको शपथलाई उहाँले सम्झनुहुन्छ ।
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 यो उहाँले याकूबसँग आदेश रूपमा र इस्राएलसँग अनन्त करारको रूपमा पुष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तेरो उत्तराधिकारको तेरो अंशको रूपमा तँलाई म कनान देश दिनेछु ।”
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 तिनीहरू संख्यामा थोरै, अति थोरै मात्र हुँदा र देशमा परदेशीहरू हुँदा नै उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो ।
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 तिनीहरू एक जातिबाट अर्को जातिमा र एक राज्यबाट अर्को राज्यमा गए ।
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 उहाँले कसैलाई पनि तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्ने अनुमति दिनुभएन । तिनीहरूका खातिर उहाँले राजाहरूलाई हप्काउनुभयो ।
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो अभिषिक्त जनलाई नछोओ र मेरा अगमवक्ताहरूका हानि नगर ।”
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 उहाँ देशमा अनिकाल ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँ खानेकुराको सारा आपूर्ती बन्द गर्नुभयो ।
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 उहाँले तिनीहरू अगिअगि एक जना मानिसलाई पठाउनुभयो । योसेफलाई कमाराको रूपमा बेचिएका थिए ।
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 तिनका खुट्टाहरू साङ्लाहरूले बाँधिएका थिए । तिनको घाँटीमा फालमको जन्जीर लगाइयो,
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 तिनले जे भनेका थिए सो हुन नआएसम्म । परमप्रभुको वचनले तिनको जाँच गर्यो ।
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 तिनलाई मुक्त गर्न राजाले सेवकहरू पठाए । मानिसहरूका शासकले तिनलाई मुक्त गरे ।
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 उनले तिनलाई आफ्नो सारा सम्पत्तिको शासकको रूपमा आफ्नो दरवारको निरीक्षक बनाए,
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 तिनले चाहेअनुरूप उनका शासकहरूलाई सल्लाह दिन र उनका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई बुद्धि सिकाउन ।
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 त्यसपछि इस्राएल मिश्रदेशमा गए र याकूब केही समय हामको देशमा बसे ।
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई फल्दोफुल्दो बनाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना शत्रुहरूभन्दा बलियो बनाउनुभयो ।
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले घृणा गर्ने, आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्ने उहाँले बनाउनुभयो ।
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 आफूले चुन्नुभएका आफ्ना सेवक मोशा र हारूनलाई उहाँले पठाउनुभयो ।
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 तिनीहरूले मिश्रीहरूका माझमा उहाँका चिन्हहरू, हामको देशमा उहाँ अचम्मका कामहरू गरे ।
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 उहाँले अन्धकार पठाउनुभयो र त्यो देशलाई अँध्यारो बनाउनुभयो, तर त्यसका मानिसहरूले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 उहाँले तिनीहरूका पानीलाई रगतमा बद्लिनुभयो र तिनीहरूका माछाहरू मार्नुभयो ।
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 तिनीहरूका देश, तिनीहरूका शासकहरूका कोठाहरूमा समेत भ्यागुताहरूले भरिए ।
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 उहाँले बोल्नुभयो र झिंगाहरू र भुसुनाहरूको हुल तिनीहरूको देशभरि आए ।
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 तिनीहरूका देशमा बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वालासहित, उहाँले तिनीहरूको वर्सालाई असिनामा बद्लिनुभयो ।
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 उहाँले तिनीहरूका दाखका बोटहरू र अञ्जीरका रूखहरू नष्ट पार्नुभयो । उहाँ तिनीहरूका देशका रूखहरू भाँच्नुभयो ।
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 उहाँ बोल्नुभयो र सलहहरू, साह्रै नै धेरै सलहहरू आए ।
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 सलहहरूले तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका सबै वनस्पतिहरू खाए । तिनीहरूले जमिनका सबै फसलहरू खाए ।
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 तिनीहरूका देशमा भएका हरेक जेठा सन्तान, तिनीहरूका बलको पहिलो फललाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 उहाँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई सुन र चाँदीसहित हाबिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँका कुलमध्ये कुनैले पनि बाटोमा ठेस खाएन ।
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 तिनीहरू निस्केर जाँदा मिश्रदेश खुसी थियो, किनकि मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूसँग डराएका थिए ।
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 उहाँले ढाक्नलाई बादल फिंजाउनुभयो र रातलाई उज्यालो पार्न आगो बाल्नुभयो ।
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 इस्राएलीहरूले खानेकुरा मागे र उहाँले बट्टाई चरा दिनुभयो र स्वर्गको रोटीले तिनीहरूलाई सन्तुष्ट पार्नुभयो ।
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 उहाँले चट्टानलाई चिरा पार्नुभयो र त्यसबाट पानी बगेर निस्क्यो । उजाडस्थानमा ती नदीझैं बगे ।
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 किनकि उहाँले आफ्नो सेवक अब्राहामसँग गर्नुभएको आफ्नो पवित्र प्रतिज्ञालाइ सम्झिनुभयो ।
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आनन्दसाथ, उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई जयजयकारको ध्वनिसँगै उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जातिहरूका देश दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूका सम्पत्तिमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार जमाए,
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँका आदेशहरू पालन गरून् र उहाँका व्यवस्थाहरू मानून् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
