स्तोत्रसंहिता 78
An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;
I will open, in a parable, my mouth, I will pour forth enigmas out of antiquity; —
Which we have heard, and come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to us;
4 ४ त्या आम्ही त्यांच्या वंशजापासून गुप्त ठेवणार नाही. त्या आम्ही पुढील पिढीला परमेश्वराची स्तुत्य कृत्ये, त्याचे सामर्थ्य आणि त्याने केलेले आश्चर्ये कृत्ये सांगू.
We will not withhold [them] from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;
5 ५ कारण त्याने याकोबात निर्बंध स्थापले आणि इस्राएलासाठी नियमशास्त्र नेमले. त्याने आमच्या पूर्वजांना आज्ञा दिल्या की, त्यांनी त्या आपल्या मुलांना शिकवाव्या.
When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, —Which he commanded our fathers, That they might make them known to their children;
6 ६ त्याने ही आज्ञा यासाठी दिली की, पुढच्या पिढीने म्हणजे जी मुले जन्माला येतील, त्यांनी त्या आज्ञा जाणाव्या, त्या आपल्या स्वतःच्या मुलांना सांगाव्या.
To the end, A later generation, might come to know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount [them] to their children;
That they might set, in Elohim, their confidence, —And not forget the doings of El, But, his commandments, might observe;
8 ८ तर त्यांनी आपल्या पूर्वजासारखे हट्टी आणि बंडखोर पिढी होऊ नये, त्यांनी आपले अंतःकरण योग्य राखले नाही, आणि जिचा आत्मा देवाला समर्पित व प्रामाणिक नव्हता.
And not become, like their fathers, a generation stubborn and rebellious, —A generation that fixed not their heart, Neither was their spirit, faithful with GOD.
The sons of Ephraim—armed bowmen, Turned in the day of battle;
They kept not the covenant of God, And, in his law, refused to walk;
And forgat His doings, And his wonders which he had showed them:
12 १२ मिसर देशातल्या सोअन प्रांतात त्यांच्या वडिलांच्या दृष्टीसमोर त्याने आश्चर्यकारक गोष्टी केल्या.
In presence of their fathers, wrought he, wondrously, —In the land of Egypt—the field of Zoan:
He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through, And reared up the waters like a mound;
And led them, by a cloud, in the daytime, And all the night, by a light of fire;
He used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;
And he brought forth streams out of the cliff, And caused waters to flow down, like rivers.
But again, once more sinned they against him, Resisting the Most High in a land of drought:
They put GOD to the proof in their heart, By asking food to their mind:
Yea they spake against Elohim, —They said, Can GOD prepare a table in the desert?
20 २० पहा, त्याने खडकावर प्रहार केला तेव्हा पाणी उसळून बाहेर पडले, आणि पाण्याचे प्रवाह भरून वाहू लागले. पण भाकरही देऊ शकेल काय? तो आपल्या लोकांसाठी मांसाचा पुरवठा करील काय?”
Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, —Food also, can he give? Or provide flesh for his people?
21 २१ जेव्हा परमेश्वराने हे ऐकले, तेव्हा तो रागावला; म्हणून याकोबावर त्याचा अग्नि भडकला, आणि त्याच्या रागाने इस्राएलवर हल्ला केला,
Therefore, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, —And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted against Israel;
Because, They believed not in God, Nor trusted in his salvation;
Though he had commanded the skies above, And, the doors of the heavens, had opened;
And had rained on them manna to eat, And, the corn of the heavens, had given to them:
The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them to the full;
26 २६ त्याने आकाशात पूर्वेचा वारा वाहविला, आणि त्याच्या सामर्थ्याने त्याने दक्षिणेच्या वाऱ्याला मार्ग दाखवला.
He let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a south wind;
27 २७ त्याने त्यांच्यावर धुळीप्रमाणे मांसाचा आणि समुद्रातील वाळूप्रमाणे असंख्य पक्षांचा वर्षाव केला.
And rained upon them flesh as the dust, And, like the sand of the seas, birds of wing;
And let them fall in the midst of their camp, —Round about their habitations.
So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: —
They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,
31 ३१ त्याच क्षणाला, देवाच्या कोपाने त्याच्यावर हल्ला केला, आणि त्यांच्यातील बलवानास मारून टाकले. त्याने इस्राएलाच्या तरुणास हाणून पाडले.
When, the anger of God, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death.
32 ३२ इतके झाले तरी ते पाप करितच राहीले, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आश्चर्यकारक कृत्यांवर विश्वास ठेवला नाही.
For all this, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders;
So he ended, in a breath, their days, And their years, in a sudden terror!
34 ३४ जेव्हा कधी देवाने त्यांना पीडिले, तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याचा शोध घेण्यास सुरवात केली. उत्सुकतेने ते त्याच्याकडे वळले.
If he slew [of] them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;
And remembered that, Elohim, was their rock, Yea, EL Most High, their Redeemer:
So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;
But, their heart, was not fixed with him, Nor were they trusty in his covenant:
38 ३८ परंतु तो दयाळू असल्यामुळे त्यांच्या अपराधांची क्षमा करतो आणि त्याने त्यांचा नाश केला नाही. होय, तो अनेक वेळा आपला राग आवरून धरतो, आणि आपला सर्व राग भडकू देत नाही.
Yet, he, full of compassion, would put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and not destroy, —Yea, many a time, turned he back his anger, And would not stir up all his wrath.
So then he remembered, That, Flesh, they were, A Wind departing, that returneth not.
40 ४० त्यांनी किती वेळा रानात त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि पडिक प्रदेशात त्यांनी त्यास दु: खी केले.
How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste:
Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow:
They remembered not his hand—The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary;
43 ४३ मिसरात जेव्हा त्याने आपली घाबरून सोडणारी चिन्हे आणि सोअनाच्या प्रांतात आपले चमत्कारही दाखविले ते विसरले.
When he set, in Egypt, his signs, And his wonders, in the plain of Zoan;
44 ४४ त्याने मिसऱ्यांच्या नद्यांचे रक्तात रुपांतर केले. म्हणून त्याच्या प्रवाहातील पाणी त्यांच्याने पिववेना.
When he turned, into blood, their Nile-streams, And, their own rivers, could they not drink;
45 ४५ त्याने चावणाऱ्या माशांचे थवे पाठवले त्यांनी त्यांना खाऊन टाकले, आणि बेडकांनी त्यांचा देश आच्छादला.
He sent among them, The gad-fly, and it devoured them, And the frog, and it despoiled them;
When he gave to the corn-locust their produce, And their toil, to the swarming locust;
He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost:
When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers;
49 ४९ त्यांने आपल्या भयंकर रागाने त्यांच्याविरुद्ध तडाखे दिले. त्याने अरिष्ट आणणाऱ्या प्रतिनीधीप्रमाणे आपला क्रोध, प्रकोप आणि संकट पाठवले.
He sent among them the heat of his anger, Wrath and indignation and distress, —A mission of messengers of misfortune:
50 ५० त्याने आपल्या रागासाठी मार्ग सपाट केला; त्याने त्यांना मरणापासून वाचविले नाही पण त्याने त्यांना मरीच्या हवाली केले.
He leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their life—to the pestilence, he delivered:
51 ५१ त्याने मिसरमध्ये प्रथम जन्मलेले सर्व, हामाच्या तंबूतील त्यांच्या शक्तीचे प्रथम जन्मलेले मारून टाकले.
So he smote, Every first-born in Egypt, The beginning of their strength, in the tents of Ham;
And he set forth, like sheep, his people, And guided them, like a flock in the desert;
53 ५३ त्याने त्यांना सुखरुप आणि न भीता मार्गदर्शन केले, पण समुद्राने त्यांच्या शत्रूंना बुडवून टाकले.
Yea he led them securely, and they dreaded not, And, their enemies, the sea did cover.
Then brought he them within his own holy bounds, The mountain-range, which his right hand made his own:
55 ५५ त्याने त्यांच्यापुढून राष्ट्रांना हाकलून लावली, आणि त्यांना त्यांची वतने सूत्राने मापून नेमून दिली; आणि त्यांच्या तंबूत इस्राएलाचे वंश वसविले.
So he drave out, before them, [whole] nations, And allotted them, by line, an inheritance, And caused to dwell, in their own homes, the tribes of Israel.
56 ५६ तरी त्यांनी परात्पर देवाला आव्हान दिले आणि त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आज्ञा पाळल्या नाहीत.
But they tested and resisted God Most High, And, his testimonies, did not observe;
57 ५७ ते आपल्या पूर्वजाप्रमाणे अविश्वासू होते आणि त्यांनी विश्वासघातकी कृत्ये केली; फसव्या धनुष्याप्रमाणे ते स्वतंत्रपणे वळणारे होते.
But drew back and dealt treacherously, like their fathers, They turned aside, like deceitful bowmen;
58 ५८ कारण त्यांनी आपल्या उंच जागा बांधल्या आणि देवाला क्रोधित केले आणि आपल्या कोरीव मूर्तींमुळे त्यास आवेशाने कोपविले.
And provoked him to anger with their high places, And, with their images, used to move him to jealousy.
God heard and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up among Men;
61 ६१ त्याने आपल्या सामर्थ्याचा कोश बंदिवासात जाण्याची परवानगी दिली, आणि आपले गौरव शत्रूच्या हातात दिले.
Yea he gave up, into captivity, his strength, And his beauty into the hand of an adversary;
And delivered up, to the sword, his people, And, with his own inheritance, was he wroth;
63 ६३ अग्नीने त्यांच्या तरुण मनुष्यास खाऊन टाकले, आणि त्यांच्या तरुण स्रीयांना लग्नगीते लाभली नाहीत.
His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;
His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.
65 ६५ मग प्रभू झोपेतून जागा झालेल्या मनुष्यासारखा उठला, द्राक्षरसामुळे आरोळी मारणाऱ्या सैनिकासारखा तो उठला.
Then awoke, as one that had slept, Adonay, As a warrior exulting with wine!
So he smote his adversaries in the rear, Reproach age-abiding, laid he upon them.
Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose:
But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved;
And built, like the heights, his sanctuary, Like the earth, he founded it to times age-abiding.
And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep:
71 ७१ आपले लोक याकोब व आपले वतन इस्राएल यांचे पालन करण्यास त्याने त्यास दुभत्या मेंढ्याच्या मागून काढून आणले.
From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, —To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance.
72 ७२ दावीदाने आपल्या मनाच्या सरळतेने त्याचे पालन केले, आणि आपल्या हातच्या कौशल्याने त्यास मार्ग दाखविला.
So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.
