< भजनसंग्रह 135 >
1 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । परमप्रभुको नाउँको प्रशंसा गर । हे परमप्रभुका सेवकहरू हो, उहाँको प्रशंसा गर ।
Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
2 तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको चोकहरूमा खडा हुन्छौ ।
You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
3 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर, किनकि उहाँ असल हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको नाउँको स्तुति गाओ, किनकि यसो गर्नु सुखाद कुरा हो ।
Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
4 किनकि परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई आफ्नो निम्ति, इस्राएललाई आफ्नो सम्पत्तिको रूपमा रोज्नुभएको छ ।
He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
5 परमप्रभु महान् हुनुहुन्छ भनी म जान्दछु, कि हाम्रो परमप्रभु सबै देवताभन्दा माथि हुनुहुन्छ ।
I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
6 परमप्रभुले जे इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ, स्वर्गमा, पृथ्वीमा, समुद्रमा र सबै महासागरका गहिराइमा उहाँले त्यही गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
7 उहाँले बादललाई टाढाबाट, चट्याङलाई वर्षाको साथी बनाएर ल्याउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो भण्डारबाट हुरीबतास निकाल्नुहुन्छ ।
He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
8 उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा मानिस र पशु दुवैको जेठोलाई मार्नुभयो ।
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
9 उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा तिमीहरूका माझमा फारो र त्यसका सबै सेवकहरूका विरुद्धमा चिन्हहरू र चमत्कारहरू पठाउनुभयो ।
There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
10 उहाँले धेरै जातिलाई आक्रमण गर्नुभयो र शक्तिशाली राजाहरूलाई मार्नुभयो,
He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
11 एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन र बाशानका राजा ओग, अनि कनानका सबै राज्यलाई ।
Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
12 तिनीहरूका देश उहाँले हामीलाई उत्तराधिकार, उहाँका मानिस इस्राएलका उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिनुभयो ।
Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
13 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको नाउँ सदासर्वदा रहिरहन्छ । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको किर्ती सबै पुस्तामा रहन्छ ।
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
14 किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ र आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि दया देखाउनुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 जातिहरूका मूर्तीहरू सुन र चाँदीका मानसिहरूका हातका कामहरू हुन् ।
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
16 ती मूर्तीहरूका मुख छन्, तर तिनीहरू बोल्दैनन् । तिनीहरूका आँखा छन्, तर तिनीहरूले देख्दैनन् ।
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
17 तिनीहरूका कान छन्, तर तिनीहरूले सुन्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूका मुखमा सास नै छ ।
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
18 तिनीहरूलाई बनाउनेहरू तिनीहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् जस्तो तिनीहरूमा भरोसा गर्ने हरेक व्यक्ति हुन्छ ।
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
19 हे इस्राएलका सन्तानहरू हो, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । हे हारूनका सन्तानहरू, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
[My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 हे लेवीका सन्तानहरू हो, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको आदर गर्छौ, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
21 सियोनमा परमप्रभुलाई प्रशंसा होस्, जो यरूशलेममा बसोबास गर्नुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
