< भजनसंग्रह 107 >
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
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 ।
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath 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 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 solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
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 forth by the 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!
Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, 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 filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 कोही अँध्यारो र दुःखमा, कैदीहरू कष्ट र साङ्लाहरूमा बसे ।
Such as sit 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 labour; 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 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 brake their bands in sunder.
15 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, 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 meat; 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 the Lord 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 sent his word, and healed them, and delivered 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 the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 तिनीहरूले धन्यवादका बलिदानहरू चढाऊन् र गीतहरूले उहाँका कामहरू घोषणा गरून् ।
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
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 the Lord, 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 heaven, they go down again 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 are at their wits’ end.
28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they cry unto the Lord 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 be 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 the Lord for his goodness, 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 congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 र यसका मानिसहरूका दुष्टताको कारणले उर्बर भूमिलाई बाँझो ठाउँमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 उहाँले उजाडस्थानलाई पानीको तलाउ र सुख्खा जमिनलाई पानीको मूलमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground 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 for habitation;
37 खेतबारीमा बीउ छर्नलाई, दाखबारी लगाउनलाई र प्रशस्त उब्जनी ल्याउनलाई तिनीहरूले एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may 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 brought low through oppression, affliction, 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 wilderness, where there is no way.
41 तर खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई उहाँले कष्टबाट सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ र बगाललाई झैं आफ्नो परिवारको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Yet setteth he the poor 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 righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 बुद्धिमान्हरूले यी कुराहरूमा ख्याल गर्नुपर्छ र परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताका कामहरूमा ध्यान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
