< भजनसंग्रह 147 >
1 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर, किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको स्तुति गाउनु असल कुरा हो । यो सुखद हुन्छ र प्रशंसा उचित छ ।
Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
2 परमप्रभुले यरूशलेम पुनःनिर्माण गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले छरिएका इस्राएलका मानिसलाई एकसाथ भेला गर्नुहुन्छ ।
[Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
3 तोडिएको हृदयलाई उहाँले निको पार्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूका घाउहरू बाँधिदिनुहुन्छ ।
He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.
4 उहाँले ताराहरू गन्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरू सबैलाई नाउँ दिनुहुन्छ ।
He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
5 हाम्रा परमप्रभु महान् र शक्तिमा भयङ्कर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको समझलाई नाप्न गर्न सकिंदैन ।
Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
6 परमप्रभुले थिचोमिचोमा परेकालाई माथि उठाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुष्टहरूलाई तल जमिनमा झार्नुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
7 धन्यवादसाथ परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर । वीणा बजाएर हाम्रो परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर ।
Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
8 उहाँले आकाशलाई बादलले ढाक्नुहुन्छ र पृथ्वीको निम्ति झरी तयार पार्नुहुन्छ । पहडाहरूमाथि घाँस उमार्नुहुन्छ ।
He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9 उहाँले पशुहरूलाई र कागहरूका बचेराहरूले पुकारा गर्दा तिनीहरूलाई भोजन दिनुहुन्छ ।
He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
10 घोडाको बलमा उहाँ प्रशन्न हुनुहुन्न । मानिसका बलियो गोडाहरूमा उहाँ खुसी हुनुहुन्न ।
He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
11 परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्नेहरूसँग उहाँ प्रशन्न हुनुहुन्छ, जसले उहाँको करारको विश्वस्ततामा आसा गर्छन् ।
Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
12 हे यरूशलेम, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर् । हे सियोन, तेरो परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर् ।
[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
13 किनकि उहाँले तेरा ढोकाहरूका डण्डाहरू बलियो बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तेरो माझमा भएका तेरा छोराछोरीलाई आशिष् दिनुहुन्छ ।
He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.
14 उहाँले तेरो सिमानाभित्र फिलिफाप ल्याउनुहुन्छ । उत्तम गहुँले उहाँले तँलाई तृप्त पार्नुहुन्छ ।
He protects the borders [of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you]. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.
15 उहाँले आफ्ना आज्ञालाई पृथ्वीमा पठाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँका आज्ञा द्रूत गतिमा दौडिन्छ ।
He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.
16 उहाँले हिउँलाई ऊनझैं बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तुषारोलाई खरानीझैं छर्नुहुन्छ ।
He sends snow which [covers the ground] like a white wool blanket [SIM], and he scatters frost [on the ground] like [wind scatters] ashes [SIM].
17 उहाँले असिना कङ्कडझैं बर्साउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले पठाउने चिसोको सामना कसले गर्न सक्छ र?
He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
18 उहाँले आफ्नो आज्ञा पठाउनुहुन्छ र ती पग्लिन्छन् । उहाँले हावा चलाउनुहुन्छ र पानीलाई बगाउनुहुन्छ ।
[But] he commands the wind to blow, and it blows. [Then the hail] melts and [the water] flows [into the streams].
19 उहाँले आफ्नो वचन याकूबलाई, उहाँका विधिहरू र उहाँ धार्मिक आदेशहरू इस्राएललाई घोषणा गर्नुभयो ।
He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
20 उहाँले अरू कुनै जातिमा त्यसो गर्नुभएको छैन, र उहाँको आदेशहरूका बारेमा तिनीहरूले ती जान्दैनन् । परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर ।
He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
