भजनसंग्रह 106

1 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।

Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!

2 परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली कामहरू कसले वर्णन गर्न सक्छ वा उहाँ सबै प्रशंसाननिय कामहरू कसले घोषणा गर्न सक्छ र?

[Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.

3 जे ठिक छ सो गर्नेहरू र जसका कामहरू सधैं न्यायोचित हुन्‍छन्, तिनीहरू धन्यका होऊन् ।

(Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.

4 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई कृपा गर्नुहुँदा मलाई समम्झनुहोस् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुहुँदा मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् ।

Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.

5 तब तपाईंका चुनिएकाहरूको फलिफाप म हेर्नेछु, तपाईंको जातिको खुसीमा आनन्‍दित हुनेछु र तपाईंको उत्तराधिकारसँगै महिमित हुनेछु ।

Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.

6 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले झैं हामीले पाप गरेका छौं । हामीले गल्ती गरेका छौं र हामीले खराबी गरेका छौं ।

We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].

7 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले मिश्रदेशमा तपाईंका अचम्मका कामहरूको कदर गरेनन् । तिनीहरूले तपाईंका करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताका धेरै कामहरूलाई बवास्‍ता गरे । तिनीहरू लाल समुद्रमा विद्रोही भए ।

When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.

8 तापनि, उहाँले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ताकि उहाँले आफ्नो शक्ति प्रकट गर्न सक्‍नुभएको होस् ।

But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.

9 उहाँले लाल समुद्रलाई हप्कानुभयो र त्‍यो सुक्यो । अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्‍थानमा झैं समुद्रको गहिराइमा डोर्‍याउनुभयो ।

He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].

10 तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूको हातबट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो र शत्रुहरूका हातबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छुट्टाउनुभयो ।

In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].

11 तर तिनीहरूका वैरीहरूलाई पानीले छोप्यो । तिनीहरूमध्‍ये एक जना पनि बाँचेन ।

[Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.

12 तब तिनीहरूले उहाँको वचनमा विश्‍वास गरे र तिनीहरूले उहाँको स्‍तुति गाए ।

When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.

13 तर उहाँले जे गर्नुभएको थियो त्‍यो तिनीहरूले तुरुन्‍तै बिर्से । तिनीहरूले उहाँको सल्‍लाहको निम्ति पर्खेनन् ।

But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.

14 उजाडस्थानमा तिनीहरूमा असन्‍तुष्‍ट इच्‍छाहरू थिए र तिनीहरूले मरुभूमिमा परमेश्‍वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।

They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].

15 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले जे मागे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्‍यही दिनुभयो, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि डरलाग्दो रोग पठाउनुभयो ।

[So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.

16 छाउनीमा तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका पवित्र पुजारी मोशा र हारूनप्रति डाही बने ।

[Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],

17 पृथ्वीले खुल्‍यो र दातानलाई निल्यो र अबीरामको पछि लाग्‍नेहरूलाई ढाकिदियो ।

the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.

18 तिनीहरू माझमा आगो सल्कियो । त्‍यो आगोले दुष्‍टहरूलाई भष्‍म पार्‍यो ।

And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].

19 तिनीहरूले होरेबा एउटा बाछो बनाए र धातुको मूर्तीको आकृति पुजे ।

Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.

20 तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको महिमालाई घाँस खाने साँढेको प्रतिमासँग साटे ।

Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!

21 तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना उद्धारकर्तालाई बिर्से जसले मिश्रदेशमा महान् कामहरू गर्नुभएको थियो ।

They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.

22 उहाँले हामको देशमा अचम्‍मका कामहरू र लाल समुद्रमा शक्तिशाली कामहरू गर्नुभएको थियो ।

They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.

23 त्यसैले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई नाश गर्छु भन्‍नुहुँदा—तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्ने उहाँको रिस हटाउनलाई उहाँको चुनिएको जन मोशा धाँदोमा खडा भए ।

Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.

24 त्‍यसपछि तिनीहरूले फलवन्त देशलाई घृणा गरे । तिनीहरूले उहाँको प्रतिज्ञामा विश्‍वास गरेनन्,

[Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.

25 तर आफ्‍ना पालहरूमा गनगन गरे र पमरप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरेनन् ।

They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.

26 यसकारण उहाँले आफ्नो हात उठाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूसित शपथ खानुभयो, कि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा नै मर्न दिनुहुनेछ,

So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,

27 तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई जातिहरूका माझमा तितरबितर पार्नहुनेछ, र तिनीहरूलाई विदेशहरूमा छरपष्‍ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।

and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.

28 तिनीहरूले पोरको बाललाई पुजा गरे र मृतकलाई चढाइएको बलिहरू खाए ।

Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.

29 तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कामहरूले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए र तिनीहरू माझमा एउटा रुढी फैलियो ।

Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.

30 तब मध्यस्थ गर्न पीनहास उठे र रूढी थामियो ।

But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.

31 यो तिनको निम्ति सबै पुस्तासम्म सदाको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।

People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.

32 तिनीहरूले मेरीबको पानीमा पनि परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाए र तिनीहरूका कारणले मोशाले कष्‍ट भोगे ।

[Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.

33 तिनीहरूले मोशालाई तिक्‍त बनाए र तिनले हतारमा बोले ।

They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.

34 परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेअनुसार तिनीहरूले जातिहरूलाई नष्‍ट पारेनन्,

Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.

35 तर तिनीहरू जातिहरूसँग मसिए र तिनीहरूका मार्गहरू सिके,

Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.

36 र तिनीहरूका मूर्तीहरूको पुजा गरे जुन तिनीहरूको निम्ति पासो बन्यो ।

Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].

37 तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोरा र छोरीहरू भुत आत्माहरूलाई बलि चढाए ।

[Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].

38 तिनीहरूले निर्दोष रगतको, अर्थात् आफ्‍ना छोराहरू र छोरीहरूका रगत बगाए, जुन तिनीहरूले कनानको मूर्तीहरूलाई बलि चढाएर रगतले देशलाई अशुद्ध पारे ।

They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].

39 तिनीहरू आफ्‍ना कामहरूले अशुद्ध भए । तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरू वेश्याजस्तै भए ।

So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].

40 त्यसैले परमप्रभु आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग रिसाउनुभयो र उहाँले आफ्नै मानिसहरूलाई घृणा गर्नुभयो ।

So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.

41 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि राज्‍य गरे ।

[As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.

42 तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गरे, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍ना अधिकारीको अधीनमा पारियो ।

Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].

43 तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्न उहाँ धेरैपल्‍ट आउनुभयो, तर तिनीहरूले निरन्‍तर विद्रोह गरे र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै पापले तल पारिए ।

Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.

44 तापनि, सहायताको निम्ति तिनीहरूका पुकारा उहाँले सुन्‍नुहुँदा उहाँले तिनीहरूका संकष्‍टमा ध्यान दिनुभयो ।

However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.

45 उहाँले तिनीहरूसँगको आफ्‍नो करारलाई सम्झिनुभयो र आफ्‍नो अटल प्रेमको कारणले नरम हुनुभयो ।

For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].

46 तिनीहरूका सबै विजेतालाई तिनीहरूमाथि दया गर्ने उहाँले बनाउनुहुन्थ्यो ।

He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.

47 हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर, हामीलाई बचाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई जातिहरूको माझबाट भेला गर्नुहोस्, ताकि तपाईंको पवित्र नाउँमा हामी धन्यवाद दिन र तपाईंका प्रशंसाहरूमा गर्व गर्न सकौं।

Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.

48 इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको अनादिदेखि अनन्तसम्म स्तुति होस् । सबै मानिसहरूले भने, “आमेन ।” परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस् ।

Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
