ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 89
1 ੧ ਏਥਾਨ ਅਜ਼ਰਾ ਵੰਸ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਮਸ਼ਕੀਲ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ ਮੈਂ ਸਦਾ ਗਾਵਾਂਗਾ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਮੂੰਹੋਂ ਸਮਝਾਵਾਂਗਾ।
A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
4 ੪ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਅੰਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਕਾਇਮ ਰੱਖਾਂਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਰਾਜ ਗੱਦੀ ਨੂੰ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਓਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀ ਬਣਾਈ ਰੱਖਾਂਗਾ। ਸਲਹ।
‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” (Selah)
The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?
8 ੮ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਸੈਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ, ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੇਰੇ ਤੁੱਲ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਮਾਨ ਕੌਣ ਹੈ? ਤੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਹੈ,
Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
9 ੯ ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦੇ ਉਛਾਲ ਉੱਤੇ ਹਕੂਮਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਜਾਂ ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਠਾਠਾਂ ਉੱਠ ਪੈਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਤਾਂ ਤੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਥੰਮ੍ਹ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈਂ।
You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
10 ੧੦ ਤੂੰ ਰਹਬ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੱਢੇ ਹੋਏ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਚੂਰ-ਚੂਰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਬਾਂਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਲ ਨਾਲ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਛਿੰਨ ਭਿੰਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ!
You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.
You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
15 ੧੫ ਧੰਨ ਓਹ ਲੋਕ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਅਨੰਦ ਦੀ ਲਲਕਾਰ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹਨ, ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਓਹ ਤੇਰੇ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਦੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੁਰਦੇ ਹਨ!
Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
For our shield belongs to Yahweh, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 ੧੯ ਤਦ ਮੈਂ ਦਰਸ਼ਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੰਤਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ, ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਇਆ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਇੱਕ ਸੂਰਮੇ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਪਰਜਾ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਚੁਣ ਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਨੂੰ ਉੱਚਿਆਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.
I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
24 ੨੪ ਪਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਦਯਾ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਰਹੇਗੀ, ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਸਿੰਗ ਉੱਚਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ,
But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him.
I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.
Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 ੪੬ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਕਦ ਤੱਕ? ਕੀ ਤੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਲੁਕਾਈ ਰੱਖੇਂਗਾ? ਕਦ ਤੱਕ ਤੇਰਾ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਅੱਗ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਭੱਖਦਾ ਰਹੇਗਾ?
How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
48 ੪੮ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਜਿਉਂਦਾ ਰਹੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਮੌਤ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਵੇਖੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਜਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਪਤਾਲ ਦੇ ਵੱਸ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਵੇਗਾ? ਸਲਹ। (Sheol h7585)
What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 ੪੯ ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਓਹ ਪਹਿਲੀਆਂ ਦਿਆਲ਼ਗੀਆਂ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਖੇ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਾਊਦ ਨਾਲ ਸਹੁੰ ਖਾਧੀ ਸੀ?
Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50 ੫੦ ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਆਪਣੇ ਦਾਸਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਲਾਹਮਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਚੇਤਾ ਕਰ, ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਛਾਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਲਾਹਮੇ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਬੈਠਾ ਹਾਂ,
Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51 ੫੧ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ, ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਤੇਰੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਤਾਨੇ ਮਾਰੇ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਤੇਰੇ ਮਸਹ ਕੀਤੇ ਹੋਏ ਦੇ ਖੁਰਿਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਤਾਨੇ ਮਾਰੇ।
With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
Blessed be Yahweh forever more. Amen, and Amen.
