भजनसंग्रह 107
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
“BOOK V.” O give thanks to 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 it, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विदेशी भूमिहरूबाट, पूर्वबाट र पश्चिमबाट, उत्तरबाट र दक्षिणबाट भेला पार्नुभएको छ ।
Whom he hath gathered from the lands, From the east, the west, the north, and the south.
4 तिनीहरू मरुभूमिको बाटोमा उजाडस्थानमा भौंतारिए र बस्नलाई कुनै सहर भेट्टाएनन् ।
They were wandering in the wilderness, in a desert, They found no way to a city to dwell in.
5 किनभने तिनीहरू भोकाएका र तिर्खाएका थिए, तिनीहरू थकाइले मूर्छित भए ।
They were hungry and thirsty, And their souls fainted within them.
6 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distress.
7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सोझो बाटोमा लानुभयो ताकि तिनीहरू बस्नलाई एउटा सहरमा जान पाऊन् ।
He led them in a straight way, Till they came to a city where they might dwell.
8 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 thirsty, And the hungry he filleth with good.
10 कोही अँध्यारो र दुःखमा, कैदीहरू कष्ट र साङ्लाहरूमा बसे ।
They dwelt in darkness and 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 disobeyed the commands of God, And contemned the will of the Most High;
12 उहाँले कठिनाइद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई नम्र पार्नुभयो । तिनीहरूले ठेस खाए र तिनीहरूलाई उठ्न सहायता गर्ने कोही थिएन ।
Their hearts he brought down by hardship; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
But they cried to 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 asunder.
15 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 asunder.
17 आफ्ना विद्रोही मार्गहरूमा तिनीहरू मूर्ख थिए र आफ्ना पापहरूका कारणले कष्टमा परे ।
The foolish, because of their transgressions, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted;
18 तिनीहरूले कुनै खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा हराए र तिनीहरू मृत्युको ढोकाहरूका नजिक पुगे ।
They abhorred all kinds of food; They were 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 trouble, And he delivered 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 saved them from their destruction.
21 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 तिनीहरूले धन्यवादका बलिदानहरू चढाऊन् र गीतहरूले उहाँका कामहरू घोषणा गरून् ।
Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with joy!
23 केहीले समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् र समुद्रपारि व्यपार गर्छन् ।
They who go down to the sea in ships, And 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 ।
He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth high the waves.
26 तिनीहरू माथि आकाशसम्म पुगे । तिनीहरू तल गहिराइहरूमा गए । तिनीहरूका जीवन संकष्टमा बिलेर गयो ।
They mount up to the heavens, They sink down to the depths, Their soul melteth with distress;
27 तिनीहरू मद्यको मातेकाहरूझैं धरमराए र लडखडाए, र तिनीहरूका बुद्धि हरायो ।
They reel and stagger like a drunken man, And all their skill is vain.
28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses;
29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्त भए ।
He turneth the storm into a calm, And the waves are hushed;
30 तब तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए किनभने समुद्र शान्त भयो, र तिनीहरूले इच्छा गरेको बन्दरगाहमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then they rejoice that they are still, And he bringeth them to their desired haven.
31 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness. For his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मानिसहरूको सभामा उच्च पारून् र धर्मगुरुहरूका सभामा उहँको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
Let them extol him 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 desert, And springs of water 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 desert into a lake of water, And dry ground into springs of water;
36 भोकाहरूलाई उहाँले त्यहाँ बसाल्नहुन्छ र तिनीहरूले बस्नलाई एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
And there he causeth the hungry to dwell, And they build a city for a dwelling-place,
37 खेतबारीमा बीउ छर्नलाई, दाखबारी लगाउनलाई र प्रशस्त उब्जनी ल्याउनलाई तिनीहरूले एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
And sow fields and plant vineyards, Which yield a fruitful increase.
38 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुन्छ, यसैले तिनीहरू असंख्या हुन्छन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुको संख्या घट्न दिनुहुन्न ।
He blesseth them, so that they multiply greatly, And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 पीडादायी संकष्ट र दुःखले तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या घट्यो र तल झारिए ।
When they are diminished and brought low By 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 a pathless wilderness;
41 तर खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई उहाँले कष्टबाट सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ र बगाललाई झैं आफ्नो परिवारको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But he raiseth the poor from their affliction, And increaseth their families like a flock.
42 सोझो मन भएकाहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आनन्दि हुनेछन् । सबै दुष्टताले आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity shutteth her mouth.
43 बुद्धिमान्हरूले यी कुराहरूमा ख्याल गर्नुपर्छ र परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताका कामहरूमा ध्यान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Whoso is wise, let him observe this, And have regard to the loving-kindness of the LORD!
