ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 106
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5 ੫ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਚੁਣੇ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਦੀ ਭਲਿਆਈ ਵੇਖਾਂ, ਤੇਰੀ ਕੌਮ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਨੰਦ ਹੋਵਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਮਿਲਖ਼ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਫਖ਼ਰ ਕਰਾਂ!।
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 ੭ ਸਾਡੇ ਪੁਰਖਿਆਂ ਨੇ ਮਿਸਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੇਰੇ ਅਚਰਜਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਸਮਝਿਆ, ਨਾ ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤੀਆਂ ਦਿਆਲ਼ਗੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖਿਆ, ਪਰ ਓਹ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਅਰਥਾਤ ਲਾਲ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਆਕੀ ਹੋ ਗਏ।
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 ੯ ਉਹ ਨੇ ਲਾਲ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਨੂੰ ਦਬਕਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਸੁੱਕ ਗਿਆ, ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਡੁੰਘਿਆਈਆਂ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਦੀ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਉਜਾੜ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਦੀ ਲੰਘਾਇਆ,
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea.
23 ੨੩ ਤਾਂ ਓਸ ਆਖਿਆ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਨਾਸ ਕਰ ਸੁੱਟਦਾ, ਜੇ ਮੂਸਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਚੁਣਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਤੇੜ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ, ਕਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਨੂੰ ਨਾਸ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਮੋੜੇ।
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32 ੩੨ ਫੇਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਮਰੀਬਾਹ ਦੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਭੜਕਾਇਆ, ਇਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਮੂਸਾ ਲਈ ਬੁਰਾ ਹੋਇਆ,
They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 ੩੩ ਓਹ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਆਤਮਾ ਤੋਂ ਆਕੀ ਜੋ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਸਨ, ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਮੂਸਾ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਕੁਵੱਲੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਕੱਢੀਆਂ।
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 ੩੮ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਨਿਰਦੋਸ਼ਾਂ ਦਾ ਲਹੂ, ਅਰਥਾਤ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤਰਾਂ ਧੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਲਹੂ ਵਹਾਇਆ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਨਾਨ ਦੇ ਬੁੱਤਾਂ ਲਈ ਬਲੀਦਾਨ ਕੀਤਾ,
And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 ੪੩ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਾਰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਛੁਡਾਇਆ, ਪਰ ਓਹ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਸਲਾਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਆਕੀ ਰਹੇ, ਓਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਬਦੀ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਹੀਣੇ ਹੋ ਗਏ।
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47 ੪੭ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਸਾਡੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਸਾਨੂੰ ਬਚਾ ਲੈ! ਅਤੇ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਠੇ ਕਰ, ਕਿ ਅਸੀਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਕਰੀਏ, ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਉਸਤਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਫੁੱਲ ਫੁੱਲ ਬਹੀਏ!
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
