भजनसंग्रह 107

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

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [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 oppressor,

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

And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

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 ।

And he led them forth by a right 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!

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

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

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

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

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

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

Because they had rebelled against the words of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

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

And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, 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 broke their bands in sunder.

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

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

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

Fools, because of their way of 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!

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 in joyful song.

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 speaketh, 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 to the depths; their soul is melted 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 they 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, and the waves thereof are still:

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

And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

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

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous 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 congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्‍थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,

He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

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

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

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

He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

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

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

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

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

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

And he blesseth them, 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 ।

And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

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

He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

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

But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

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

The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

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

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
