< भजनसंग्रह 107 >
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
2 परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू बोलून्, जसलाई उहाँले शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाउनुभएको छ ।
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विदेशी भूमिहरूबाट, पूर्वबाट र पश्चिमबाट, उत्तरबाट र दक्षिणबाट भेला पार्नुभएको छ ।
and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4 तिनीहरू मरुभूमिको बाटोमा उजाडस्थानमा भौंतारिए र बस्नलाई कुनै सहर भेट्टाएनन् ।
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.
5 किनभने तिनीहरू भोकाएका र तिर्खाएका थिए, तिनीहरू थकाइले मूर्छित भए ।
They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.
6 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.
7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सोझो बाटोमा लानुभयो ताकि तिनीहरू बस्नलाई एउटा सहरमा जान पाऊन् ।
He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
8 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
9 किनकि उहाँले तिर्खाएकाहरूको तिर्खा मेटाउनुहुन्छ र भोकाहरूका इच्छाहरूलाई उहाँले असल थोकहरूले पुरा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10 कोही अँध्यारो र दुःखमा, कैदीहरू कष्ट र साङ्लाहरूमा बसे ।
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
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 despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 उहाँले कठिनाइद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई नम्र पार्नुभयो । तिनीहरूले ठेस खाए र तिनीहरूलाई उठ्न सहायता गर्ने कोही थिएन ।
He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
14 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धकार र दुःखबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो र तिनीहरूका बन्धनहरू छिनाउनुभयो ।
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke away their chains.
15 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
16 किनकि उहाँले काँसाका ढोकाहरू फुटाउनुभएको छ र फलामका डण्डाहरू काट्नुभएको छ ।
For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
17 आफ्ना विद्रोही मार्गहरूमा तिनीहरू मूर्ख थिए र आफ्ना पापहरूका कारणले कष्टमा परे ।
Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
18 तिनीहरूले कुनै खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा हराए र तिनीहरू मृत्युको ढोकाहरूका नजिक पुगे ।
They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
19 तब आफ्ना कष्टमा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
20 उहाँ आफ्नो वचन पठाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो, अनि तिनीहरूका विनाशबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
21 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
22 तिनीहरूले धन्यवादका बलिदानहरू चढाऊन् र गीतहरूले उहाँका कामहरू घोषणा गरून् ।
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
23 केहीले समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् र समुद्रपारि व्यपार गर्छन् ।
Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.
24 यिनीहरूले समुद्रमा परमप्रभुका कामहरू र उहाँका चमत्कारहरू देखे ।
They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
25 किनकि उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई नै छल्काउने आँधी चल्यो ।
For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
26 तिनीहरू माथि आकाशसम्म पुगे । तिनीहरू तल गहिराइहरूमा गए । तिनीहरूका जीवन संकष्टमा बिलेर गयो ।
They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
27 तिनीहरू मद्यको मातेकाहरूझैं धरमराए र लडखडाए, र तिनीहरूका बुद्धि हरायो ।
They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.
29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्त भए ।
He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 तब तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए किनभने समुद्र शान्त भयो, र तिनीहरूले इच्छा गरेको बन्दरगाहमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।
They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.
31 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
32 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मानिसहरूको सभामा उच्च पारून् र धर्मगुरुहरूका सभामा उहँको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,
He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 र यसका मानिसहरूका दुष्टताको कारणले उर्बर भूमिलाई बाँझो ठाउँमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
35 उहाँले उजाडस्थानलाई पानीको तलाउ र सुख्खा जमिनलाई पानीको मूलमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
36 भोकाहरूलाई उहाँले त्यहाँ बसाल्नहुन्छ र तिनीहरूले बस्नलाई एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
37 खेतबारीमा बीउ छर्नलाई, दाखबारी लगाउनलाई र प्रशस्त उब्जनी ल्याउनलाई तिनीहरूले एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुन्छ, यसैले तिनीहरू असंख्या हुन्छन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुको संख्या घट्न दिनुहुन्न ।
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
39 पीडादायी संकष्ट र दुःखले तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या घट्यो र तल झारिए ।
When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40 उहाँले अगुवाहरूमाथि घृणा खन्याउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा भौंतारिन लगाउनुहुन्छ, जहाँ कुनै बाटो हुँदैन ।
He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
41 तर खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई उहाँले कष्टबाट सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ र बगाललाई झैं आफ्नो परिवारको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
42 सोझो मन भएकाहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आनन्दि हुनेछन् । सबै दुष्टताले आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
43 बुद्धिमान्हरूले यी कुराहरूमा ख्याल गर्नुपर्छ र परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताका कामहरूमा ध्यान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
