Psalms 81

1 Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!

हाम्रो बल परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति ठुलो सोरले गाओ । याकूबका परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति जयजयकार गर ।

2 Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).

गीत गाओ र खैंजडी बजाओ, वीणासँगै सारङ्गीको मीठो धुन बजाओ ।

3 Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.

औंसीको दिनमा र पूर्णिमाको दिनमा, हाम्रो चाड सुरु हुँदा तुरही फुक ।

4 [Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.

किनकि यो इस्राएलको निम्ति आदेश हो, याकूबका परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभएको विधान हो ।

5 He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,

जब उहाँ मिश्रदेशको विरुद्धमा जानुभयो, जहाँ मैले नचिनेको सोर मैले सुनें, तब उहाँले योसेफमा नियमको रूपमा यो जारी गर्नुभयोः

6 “[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].

“मैले त्यसको काँधबाट बोझ हटाएँ । टोकरीहरू समात्‍ने त्यसका हातहरू मुक्‍त भए ।

7 When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.

तिमीहरूको संकष्‍टमा तिमीहरूले पुकारा गर्‍यौ र मैले तिमीहरूलाई सहायता गरें । गर्जनको कालो बादलबाट मैले तिमीहरूलाई जवाफ दिएँ । मेरिबाको पानीमा मैले तिमीहरूको जाँच गरें । सेला

8 [You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!

हे मानिसहरू, सुन, म तिमीहरूलाई चेतावनी दिन्छु । हे इस्राएल, तिमीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुनेको मात्र भए!

9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!

तिमीहरूका माझमा कुनै विदेशी देवता हुनेथिएन । तिमीहरूले कुनै पनि विदेशी देवता पुजा गर्नुहुँदैन ।

10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.

म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्यायो । तिमीहरूको मुख चौडा खोल र त्‍यो म भर्नेछु ।

11 But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.

तर मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरा वचनहरू सुनेनन् । इस्राएलले मेरा आज्ञा पालन गरेनन् ।

12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.

त्यसैले तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हठी मार्गमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदिएँ, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफूलाई जे ठिक लाग्छ त्यही गरून् ।

13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.

ओहो, मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेको भए । मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरा मार्गहरूमा हिंडेका भए ।

14 [If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].

तब म तुरुन्‍तै तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई अधीन गर्थें र तिनीहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा म आफ्‍नो हात फर्काउँथे ।

15 [Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.

परमप्रभुलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू उहाँको सामु त्रासले लत्रक्‍क परून्! तिनीहरू सदाको निम्ति अपमानित होऊन् ।

16 [But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”

इस्राएललाई म उत्तम गहुँ खुवाउँथें । तिमीहरूलाई म चट्टानको मह खुवाएर तृप्‍त पार्थें ।”
