< भजनसंग्रह 147 >
1 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर, किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको स्तुति गाउनु असल कुरा हो । यो सुखद हुन्छ र प्रशंसा उचित छ ।
Praise ye Jehovah, for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
2 परमप्रभुले यरूशलेम पुनःनिर्माण गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले छरिएका इस्राएलका मानिसलाई एकसाथ भेला गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 तोडिएको हृदयलाई उहाँले निको पार्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूका घाउहरू बाँधिदिनुहुन्छ ।
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 उहाँले ताराहरू गन्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरू सबैलाई नाउँ दिनुहुन्छ ।
He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.
5 हाम्रा परमप्रभु महान् र शक्तिमा भयङ्कर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको समझलाई नाप्न गर्न सकिंदैन ।
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
6 परमप्रभुले थिचोमिचोमा परेकालाई माथि उठाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुष्टहरूलाई तल जमिनमा झार्नुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 धन्यवादसाथ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । वीणा बजाएर हाम्रो परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर ।
Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God,
8 उहाँले आकाशलाई बादलले ढाक्नुहुन्छ र पृथ्वीको निम्ति झरी तयार पार्नुहुन्छ । पहडाहरूमाथि घाँस उमार्नुहुन्छ ।
who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 उहाँले पशुहरूलाई र कागहरूका बचेराहरूले पुकारा गर्दा तिनीहरूलाई भोजन दिनुहुन्छ ।
He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 घोडाको बलमा उहाँ प्रशन्न हुनुहुन्न । मानिसका बलियो गोडाहरूमा उहाँ खुसी हुनुहुन्न ।
He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्नेहरूसँग उहाँ प्रशन्न हुनुहुन्छ, जसले उहाँको करारको विश्वस्ततामा आसा गर्छन् ।
Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 हे यरूशलेम, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर् । हे सियोन, तेरो परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर् ।
Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise thy God, O Zion.
13 किनकि उहाँले तेरा ढोकाहरूका डण्डाहरू बलियो बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तेरो माझमा भएका तेरा छोराछोरीलाई आशिष् दिनुहुन्छ ।
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates. He has blessed thy sons within thee.
14 उहाँले तेरो सिमानाभित्र फिलिफाप ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उत्तम गहुँले उहाँले तँलाई तृप्त पार्नुहुन्छ ।
He makes peace in thy borders. He fills thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 उहाँले आफ्ना आज्ञालाई पृथ्वीमा पठाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आज्ञा द्रूत गतिमा दौडिन्छ ।
He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly.
16 उहाँले हिउँलाई ऊनझैं बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तुषारोलाई खरानीझैं छर्नुहुन्छ ।
He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
17 उहाँले असिना कङ्कडझैं बर्साउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले पठाउने चिसोको सामना कसले गर्न सक्छ र?
He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?
18 उहाँले आफ्नो आज्ञा पठाउनुहुन्छ र ती पग्लिन्छन् । उहाँले हावा चलाउनुहुन्छ र पानीलाई बगाउनुहुन्छ ।
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 उहाँले आफ्नो वचन याकूबलाई, उहाँका विधिहरू र उहाँ धार्मिक आदेशहरू इस्राएललाई घोषणा गर्नुभयो ।
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 उहाँले अरू कुनै जातिमा त्यसो गर्नुभएको छैन, र उहाँको आदेशहरूका बारेमा तिनीहरूले ती जान्दैनन् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
