भजनसंग्रह 107
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ, किनकि उहाँ भलो हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्तता सदासर्वदा रहन्छ ।
Give thanks to Yahweh, because he always does good [things for us] His faithful love [for us] lasts forever!
2 परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू बोलून्, जसलाई उहाँले शत्रुहरूका हातबाट बचाउनुभएको छ ।
Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others that he has rescued them from their enemies.
3 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई विदेशी भूमिहरूबाट, पूर्वबाट र पश्चिमबाट, उत्तरबाट र दक्षिणबाट भेला पार्नुभएको छ ।
He has gathered [those of you] who were [(exiled/taken forcefully)] to many lands; [he has gathered you together from] the east and the west, from the north and from the south.
4 तिनीहरू मरुभूमिको बाटोमा उजाडस्थानमा भौंतारिए र बस्नलाई कुनै सहर भेट्टाएनन् ।
Some of those [who returned from those countries] wandered in the desert; they were lost and had no homes to live in.
5 किनभने तिनीहरू भोकाएका र तिर्खाएका थिए, तिनीहरू थकाइले मूर्छित भए ।
They were hungry and thirsty, and they were very discouraged.
6 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from (being distressed/their difficulties).
7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सोझो बाटोमा लानुभयो ताकि तिनीहरू बस्नलाई एउटा सहरमा जान पाऊन् ।
He led them along a straight road [where they walked safely] to cities [in Canaan] where they could live.
8 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
They should praise/thank Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
9 किनकि उहाँले तिर्खाएकाहरूको तिर्खा मेटाउनुहुन्छ र भोकाहरूका इच्छाहरूलाई उहाँले असल थोकहरूले पुरा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
He gives thirsty people plenty [of water] to drink, and he gives hungry people plenty of good things [to eat].
10 कोही अँध्यारो र दुःखमा, कैदीहरू कष्ट र साङ्लाहरूमा बसे ।
Some of them were in very dark [HEN] (places [in Babylonia/other countries]); they were prisoners, suffering because of chains [fastened to their hands and feet].
11 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको वचन विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेको र सर्वोच्चको सल्लाहलाई इन्कार गरेको हुनाले यसो भएको थियो ।
They were in prison because they had (rebelled against/not obeyed) the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
12 उहाँले कठिनाइद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई नम्र पार्नुभयो । तिनीहरूले ठेस खाए र तिनीहरूलाई उठ्न सहायता गर्ने कोही थिएन ।
[That is why] their bodies were worn out from hard labor; when they fell down, there was no one who would help them.
13 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
In their troubles, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
14 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धकार र दुःखबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो र तिनीहरूका बन्धनहरू छिनाउनुभयो ।
He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet; and brought them out of those very dark [prisons].
15 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
He broke down the [prison] gates that were made of bronze, and cut through the [prison] bars that were made of iron. [So they also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
16 किनकि उहाँले काँसाका ढोकाहरू फुटाउनुभएको छ र फलामका डण्डाहरू काट्नुभएको छ ।
17 आफ्ना विद्रोही मार्गहरूमा तिनीहरू मूर्ख थिए र आफ्ना पापहरूका कारणले कष्टमा परे ।
Some of them foolishly rebelled [against God], so they suffered for their sins.
18 तिनीहरूले कुनै खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा हराए र तिनीहरू मृत्युको ढोकाहरूका नजिक पुगे ।
They did not want to eat any food, and they almost died.
19 तब आफ्ना कष्टमा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
20 उहाँ आफ्नो वचन पठाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो, अनि तिनीहरूका विनाशबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
When he commanded that they be healed, they were healed; he saved them from dying.
21 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving them, and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
22 तिनीहरूले धन्यवादका बलिदानहरू चढाऊन् र गीतहरूले उहाँका कामहरू घोषणा गरून् ।
They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful, and they should sing joyfully about the miracles that he has performed.
23 केहीले समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् र समुद्रपारि व्यपार गर्छन् ।
Some of them sailed in ships; they were selling things [in ports] throughout the world.
24 यिनीहरूले समुद्रमा परमप्रभुका कामहरू र उहाँका चमत्कारहरू देखे ।
[As they were sailing], they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did [when they were] on very deep seas.
25 किनकि उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई नै छल्काउने आँधी चल्यो ।
He commanded the winds, and they became strong and (stirred up high waves/caused waves to rise high).
26 तिनीहरू माथि आकाशसम्म पुगे । तिनीहरू तल गहिराइहरूमा गए । तिनीहरूका जीवन संकष्टमा बिलेर गयो ।
The ships [in which they were sailing] were tossed high in the air, and [then] they sank into the (troughs/low places) [between the high waves]; then the sailors were terrified.
27 तिनीहरू मद्यको मातेकाहरूझैं धरमराए र लडखडाए, र तिनीहरूका बुद्धि हरायो ।
They stumbled about and staggered like drunken men, and they did not know what to do.
28 तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कष्टमा परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूका संकष्टबाट उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।
In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their distresses.
29 उहाँले आँधीलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो र छालहरू शान्त भए ।
He (calmed the storm/caused the wind to stop blowing), and he caused the waves to completely subside.
30 तब तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए किनभने समुद्र शान्त भयो, र तिनीहरूले इच्छा गरेको बन्दरगाहमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो ।
They were [very] glad when it became calm; and Yahweh brought them safely into a harbor.
31 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तता र उहाँले मानवजातिको निम्ति गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरूका निम्ति मानिसहरूले उहाँको प्रशंसा गरून्!
They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
32 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मानिसहरूको सभामा उच्च पारून् र धर्मगुरुहरूका सभामा उहँको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
They should praise him among the [Israeli] people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders [of the country].
33 उहाँले नदीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा र पानीका मूलहरूलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा,
[Sometimes] Yahweh causes rivers [to become dry], [with the result that the land] becomes a desert, and springs of water become dry land.
34 र यसका मानिसहरूका दुष्टताको कारणले उर्बर भूमिलाई बाँझो ठाउँमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
[Sometimes] he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, [with the result that they do not produce crops]. He does that because the people who live there are [very] wicked.
35 उहाँले उजाडस्थानलाई पानीको तलाउ र सुख्खा जमिनलाई पानीको मूलमा बद्लिनुहुन्छ ।
[But sometimes] he causes pools of water to appear in deserts, and he causes springs to flow in very dry ground.
36 भोकाहरूलाई उहाँले त्यहाँ बसाल्नहुन्छ र तिनीहरूले बस्नलाई एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
He brings hungry [people] into that land, to live there and build cities [there].
37 खेतबारीमा बीउ छर्नलाई, दाखबारी लगाउनलाई र प्रशस्त उब्जनी ल्याउनलाई तिनीहरूले एउटा सहर बनाउँछन् ।
They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce big crops [of grapes].
38 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुन्छ, यसैले तिनीहरू असंख्या हुन्छन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुको संख्या घट्न दिनुहुन्न ।
He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
39 पीडादायी संकष्ट र दुःखले तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या घट्यो र तल झारिए ।
When the number of people becomes smaller and they have been humiliated [by their enemies] by being oppressed and caused to suffer [DOU],
40 उहाँले अगुवाहरूमाथि घृणा खन्याउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा भौंतारिन लगाउनुहुन्छ, जहाँ कुनै बाटो हुँदैन ।
Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and causes them to wander in deserts where there are no roads.
41 तर खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई उहाँले कष्टबाट सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ र बगाललाई झैं आफ्नो परिवारको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But he rescues poor [people] from (being in misery/suffering), and causes their families [to increase in number] like flocks of sheep.
42 सोझो मन भएकाहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आनन्दि हुनेछन् । सबै दुष्टताले आफ्नो मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
Godly/Righteous [people will (see/hear about)] these things, and they will rejoice, and wicked people [will hear about these things, too], [but] they will have nothing to say in reply.
43 बुद्धिमान्हरूले यी कुराहरूमा ख्याल गर्नुपर्छ र परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताका कामहरूमा ध्यान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Those who are wise should think carefully about those things; they should consider [all the things] that Yahweh [has done to show that he] faithfully loves [them].
