ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 37
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 ੭ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਚੁੱਪ-ਚਾਪ ਰਹਿ ਅਤੇ ਧੀਰਜ ਨਾਲ ਉਹ ਦੀ ਉਡੀਕ ਰੱਖ, ਉਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਨਾ ਕੁੜ੍ਹ ਜਿਹ ਦਾ ਰਾਹ ਸਫ਼ਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਜੁਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਿਆਂ ਕਰਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
10 ੧੦ ਹੁਣ ਥੋੜਾ ਹੀ ਚਿਰ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ, ਤੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਧਿਆਨ ਨਾਲ ਵੇਖੇਂਗਾ, ਪਰ ਉਹ ਕਿਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 ੧੪ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਨੇ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਧੂਹੀ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਧਣੁੱਖ ਖਿੱਚਿਆ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਮਸਕੀਨ ਤੇ ਕੰਗਾਲ ਨੂੰ ਡੇਗ ਦੇਣ, ਅਤੇ ਸਿੱਧੇ ਚਾਲ-ਚੱਲਣ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਨੋਂ ਮਾਰ ਸੁੱਟਣ।
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 ੨੦ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨਾਸ ਹੋ ਜਾਣਗੇ, ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਦੀ ਘਾਹ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ, ਉਹ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਣਗੇ ਸਗੋਂ ਧੂੰਏਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਣਗੇ।
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25 ੨੫ ਮੈਂ ਜੁਆਨ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਹੁਣ ਬੁੱਢਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹਾਂ, ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਨਾ ਧਰਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ, ਨਾ ਉਹ ਦੀ ਅੰਸ ਨੂੰ ਟੁੱਕੜੇ ਮੰਗਦਿਆਂ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਹੈ।
I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
28 ੨੮ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤਾਂ ਨਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦੀ ਅੰਸ ਛੇਕੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।
for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
33 ੩੩ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਵੱਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾ ਛੱਡੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਜਦ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਫੈਸਲਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਨਾ ਠਹਿਰਾਵੇਗਾ।
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 ੩੪ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਉਡੀਕ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਦੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਉੱਚਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਬਣੇਂ। ਤੂੰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦਾ ਛੇਕਿਆ ਜਾਣਾ ਵੇਖੇਂਗਾ।
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35 ੩੫ ਮੈਂ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਡੀ ਆਕੜ ਵਿੱਚ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਨਿੱਜ ਭੂਮੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੇਦਾਰ ਦੇ ਹਰੇ ਭਰੇ ਬੂਟੇ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਫੈਲਦਿਆਂ ਦੇਖਿਆ।
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 ੪੦ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਛੁਡਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਉਂਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਬਚਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਆਏ ਹਨ।
And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
