ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 50
1 ੧ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਵਜਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਕੋਰਹ ਵੰਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਭਜਨ। ਸ਼ਕਤੀਮਾਨ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸੂਰਜ ਦੇ ਚੜਦੇ ਤੋਂ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਲਹਿੰਦੇ ਤੱਕ ਧਰਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਦਿਆ ਹੈ।
God, the all-powerful one, speaks; he summons all people, from the east to the west.
His glory shines from Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], an extremely beautiful city.
3 ੩ ਸਾਡਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਆਵੇ ਅਤੇ ਚੁੱਪ ਨਾ ਰਹੇ, ਅੱਗ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ-ਅੱਗੇ ਭਸਮ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰੀ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਨਾਲ ਵਗਦੀ ਹੈ!
Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.
He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the [angels in] heaven and to [the people on] the earth.
He says, “Summon those who faithfully [worship] me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”
The [angels in] heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”
7 ੭ ਹੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਪਰਜਾ, ਸੁਣ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਬੋਲਾਂਗਾ, ਹੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਸਾਖੀ ਦਿਆਂਗਾ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਤੇਰਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਮੈਂ ਹੀ ਹਾਂ!
God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn [on the altar].
But I do not really need [you to sacrifice] the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,
because all the animals in the forest belong to me, [and all] the cattle on 1,000 hills also belong to me.
I [own and] know all the birds and all [the creatures] that move around in the fields.
[So], if I were hungry, I would not tell you [to bring me some food], because everything in the world belongs to me!
I do not eat the flesh of the bulls [that you sacrifice], and I do not drink the blood of the goats [that you offer to me].
The sacrifice [that I really want is that] you thank me and do all that you have promised to do.
And pray to me when you have troubles. [If you do that], I will rescue you, and [then] you will praise me.
16 ੧੬ ਪਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਇਉਂ ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀ ਹੱਕ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਬਿਧੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਾਵੇਂ, ਅਤੇ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਉਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰਾ ਨੇਮ ਲਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ?
But I say this to the wicked people: (Why do you/It does not benefit you at all to) [RHQ] recite my commandments or talk about the agreement that I made with you,
because you have refused to allow me to discipline you, and you have rejected what I told you to do.
Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend, and you spend [much] time with those who commit adultery.
You are [always] talking [MTY] about doing wicked things, and you are [always] to deceive people.
You are always accusing members of your own family [of doing wrong], and slandering them.
21 ੨੧ ਤੂੰ ਇਹ ਕੰਮ ਕੀਤੇ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਚੁੱਪ ਵੱਟ ਛੱਡੀ, ਤੂੰ ਸਮਝਿਆ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਵੀ ਠੀਕ ਮੇਰੇ ਵਰਗਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਝਿੜਕਾਂਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਅੱਖੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਾਵਾ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ।
You did [all] those things, and I did not say anything to you, [so] you thought that I was [a sinner] just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.
22 ੨੨ ਹੁਣ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸਾਰਦੇ ਹੋ ਇਸ ਗੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਸੋਚੋ, ਕਿਤੇ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਾੜ ਸੁੱਟਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਕੋਈ ਛੁਡਾਉਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ।
So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this, because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to rescue you.
23 ੨੩ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਦਾ ਬਲੀਦਾਨ ਚੜ੍ਹਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਆਪਣੀ ਚਾਲ ਸੁਧਾਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਵਿਖਾਵਾਂਗਾ।
The sacrifice that [truly] honors me is to thank me [for what I have done]; and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to.”
