भजनसंग्रह 107

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

Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy [endures] for ever.

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

Let them say [so] who have been redeemed by the Lord, 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 them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south.

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

They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a 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 to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

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

And he guided them into a straight path, 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!

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

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

For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things,

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

[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty 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 provoked the counsel of the Most High.

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

So their heart was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper.

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

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he saved them out of their distresses.

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

And he brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds asunder.

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

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonders to the children of men.

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

For he broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars.

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

He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities.

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

Their soul abhorred all meat; and they 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 to the Lord in their affliction, and he saved them out of their distresses.

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

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them out of their destructions.

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

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

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

And let them offer to him the sacrifice of praise, and proclaim this works with exultation.

23 केहीले समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् र समुद्रपारि व्यपार गर्छन् ।

They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in many waters;

24 यिनीहरूले समुद्रमा परमप्रभुका कामहरू र उहाँका चमत्कारहरू देखे ।

these [men] have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

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

He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.

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

They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.

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

They are troubled, they stagger as a drunkard, and all their wisdom is swallowed up.

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

Then they cry to the Lord in their affliction, and he brings them out of their distresses.

29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्‍त भए ।

And he commands the storm, and it is calmed into a gentle breeze, and its waves are still.

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

And they are glad, because they are quiet; and he guides them to their desire haven.

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

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and 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 in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.

33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्‍थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,

He turns rivers into a desert, and streams of water into a dry land;

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

a fruitful land into saltness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.

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

He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into streams of water.

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

And there he causes the hungry to dwell, and they establish for themselves cities of habitation.

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

And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and they yield fruit of increase.

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

And he blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, and he diminishes not the number of their cattle.

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

Again they become few, and are brought low, by the pressure of evils and pain.

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

Contempt is poured upon their princes, and he causes them to wander in a desert and trackless land.

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

But he helps the poor out of poverty, and makes [him] families as a flock.

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

The upright shall see and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

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

Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?
