< भजनसंग्रह 107 >
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू बोलून्, जसलाई उहाँले शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाउनुभएको छ ।
So let the redeemed of the LORD say, 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 them out of the lands, 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 the LORD 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 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!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, 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 hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled 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 humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —
13 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
They cried unto the LORD 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 the LORD for His mercy, 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 ।
Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities —
18 तिनीहरूले कुनै खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा हराए र तिनीहरू मृत्युको ढोकाहरूका नजिक पुगे ।
Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death —
19 तब आफ्ना कष्टमा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, 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 from their graves.
21 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, 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 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 commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;
26 तिनीहरू माथि आकाशसम्म पुगे । तिनीहरू तल गहिराइहरूमा गए । तिनीहरूका जीवन संकष्टमा बिलेर गयो ।
They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;
27 तिनीहरू मद्यको मातेकाहरूझैं धरमराए र लडखडाए, र तिनीहरूका बुद्धि हरायो ।
They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up —
28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.
29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्त भए ।
He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.
30 तब तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए किनभने समुद्र शान्त भयो, र तिनीहरूले इच्छा गरेको बन्दरगाहमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led 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 the LORD for His mercy, 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 waste, 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, 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 ।
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 पीडादायी संकष्ट र दुःखले तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या घट्यो र तल झारिए ।
Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil 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 his families like a flock.
42 सोझो मन भएकाहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आनन्दि हुनेछन् । सबै दुष्टताले आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her 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 consider the mercies of the LORD.
