भजनसंग्रह 107

1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।

O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

2 परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू बोलून्, जसलाई उहाँले शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाउनुभएको छ ।

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विदेशी भूमिहरूबाट, पूर्वबाट र पश्‍चिमबाट, उत्तरबाट र दक्षिणबाट भेला पार्नुभएको छ ।

And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

4 तिनीहरू मरुभूमिको बाटोमा उजाडस्‍थानमा भौंतारिए र बस्‍नलाई कुनै सहर भेट्टाएनन् ।

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

5 किनभने तिनीहरू भोकाएका र तिर्खाएका थिए, तिनीहरू थकाइले मूर्छित भए ।

Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

6 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कष्‍टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्‍टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सोझो बाटोमा लानुभयो ताकि तिनीहरू बस्‍नलाई एउटा सहरमा जान पाऊन् ।

He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

8 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 किनकि उहाँले तिर्खाएकाहरूको तिर्खा मेटाउनुहुन्छ र भोकाहरूका इच्छाहरूलाई उहाँले असल थोकहरूले पुरा गर्नुहुन्छ ।

For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

10 कोही अँध्यारो र दुःखमा, कैदीहरू कष्‍ट र साङ्लाहरूमा बसे ।

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

11 तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको वचन विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेको र सर्वोच्‍चको सल्‍लाहलाई इन्कार गरेको हुनाले यसो भएको थियो ।

Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

12 उहाँले कठिनाइद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई नम्र पार्नुभयो । तिनीहरूले ठेस खाए र तिनीहरूलाई उठ्न सहायता गर्ने कोही थिएन ।

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

13 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कष्‍टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्‍टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्‍याउनुभयो ।

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

14 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धकार र दुःखबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो र तिनीहरूका बन्धनहरू छिनाउनुभयो ।

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.

15 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

16 किनकि उहाँले काँसाका ढोकाहरू फुटाउनुभएको छ र फलामका डण्डाहरू काट्नुभएको छ ।

For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

17 आफ्‍ना विद्रोही मार्गहरूमा तिनीहरू मूर्ख थिए र आफ्‍ना पापहरूका कारणले कष्‍टमा परे ।

Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 तिनीहरूले कुनै खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा हराए र तिनीहरू मृत्युको ढोकाहरूका नजिक पुगे ।

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 तब आफ्‍ना कष्‍टमा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्‍टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्‍याउनुभयो ।

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 उहाँ आफ्नो वचन पठाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो, अनि तिनीहरूका विनाशबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.

21 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

22 तिनीहरूले धन्यवादका बलिदानहरू चढाऊन् र गीतहरूले उहाँका कामहरू घोषणा गरून् ।

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

23 केहीले समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् र समुद्रपारि व्यपार गर्छन् ।

They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

24 यिनीहरूले समुद्रमा परमप्रभुका कामहरू र उहाँका चमत्कारहरू देखे ।

These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.

25 किनकि उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई नै छल्काउने आँधी चल्यो ।

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26 तिनीहरू माथि आकाशसम्म पुगे । तिनीहरू तल गहिराइहरूमा गए । तिनीहरूका जीवन संकष्‍टमा बिलेर गयो ।

They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

27 तिनीहरू मद्यको मातेकाहरूझैं धरमराए र लडखडाए, र तिनीहरूका बुद्धि हरायो ।

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end.

28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कष्‍टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्‍टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्‍याउनुभयो ।

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्‍त भए ।

He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.

30 तब तिनीहरू आनन्‍दित भए किनभने समुद्र शान्त भयो, र तिनीहरूले इच्‍छा गरेको बन्‍दरगाहमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।

Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

32 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मानिसहरूको सभामा उच्‍च पारून् र धर्मगुरुहरूका सभामा उहँको प्रशंसा गरून् ।

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्‍थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

34 र यसका मानिसहरूका दुष्‍टताको कारणले उर्बर भूमिलाई बाँझो ठाउँमा बद्लिनुहुन्‍छ ।

A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 उहाँले उजाडस्‍थानलाई पानीको तलाउ र सुख्खा जमिनलाई पानीको मूलमा बद्लिनुहुन्‍छ ।

He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.

36 भोकाहरूलाई उहाँले त्यहाँ बसाल्नहुन्छ र तिनीहरूले बस्‍नलाई एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,

37 खेतबारीमा बीउ छर्नलाई, दाखबारी लगाउनलाई र प्रशस्‍त उब्‍जनी ल्‍याउनलाई तिनीहरूले एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.

38 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष्‌‌‌ दिनुहुन्छ, यसैले तिनीहरू असंख्या हुन्‍छन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुको संख्या घट्न दिनुहुन्‍न ।

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 पीडादायी संकष्‍ट र दुःखले तिनीहरूको सङ्‍ख्‍या घट्‍यो र तल झारिए ।

Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

40 उहाँले अगुवाहरूमाथि घृणा खन्याउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्‍थानमा भौंतारिन लगाउनुहुन्छ, जहाँ कुनै बाटो हुँदैन ।

He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

41 तर खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई उहाँले कष्‍टबाट सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ र बगाललाई झैं आफ्नो परिवारको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock.

42 सोझो मन भएकाहरूले यो देख्‍नेछन् र आनन्‍दि हुनेछन् । सबै दुष्‍टताले आफ्‍नो मुख बन्द गर्छ ।

The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 बुद्धिमान्‌हरूले यी कुराहरूमा ख्‍याल गर्नुपर्छ र परमप्रभुको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताका कामहरूमा ध्‍यान गर्नुपर्छ ।

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
