ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 106
Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
4 ૪ હે યહોવાહ, જ્યારે તમે તમારા લોકો પર કૃપા કરો, ત્યારે મને યાદ રાખજો; જ્યારે તમે તેઓને બચાવો ત્યારે મને સહાય કરજો.
Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
5 ૫ જેથી હું તમારા પસંદ કરેલાઓનું ભલું જોઉં, તમારી પ્રજાના આનંદમાં હું આનંદ માણું અને તમારા વારસાની સાથે હું હર્ષનાદ કરું.
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7 ૭ મિસરમાંના તમારાં ચમત્કારોમાંથી અમારા પિતૃઓ કંઈ સમજ્યા નહિ; તેઓએ તમારી કૃપાનાં કાર્યોની અવગણના કરી; તેઓએ સમુદ્ર પાસે, એટલે રાતા સમુદ્ર પાસે તમારી વિરુદ્ધ બંડ પોકાર્યું.
Our fathers did not understand your wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9 ૯ પ્રભુએ રાતા સમુદ્રને ધમકાવ્યો, એટલે તે સુકાઈ ગયો. એ પ્રમાણે તેમણે જાણે અરણ્યમાં હોય, તેમ ઊંડાણોમાં થઈને તેઓને દોર્યા.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10 ૧૦ જેઓ તેઓને ધિક્કારે છે તેઓના હાથમાંથી તેમણે તેઓને બચાવ્યા અને દુશ્મનના પરાક્રમથી તેઓને છોડાવ્યા.
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD's holy one.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
20 ૨૦ તેઓએ આ પ્રમાણે તેમના મહિમાવંત ઈશ્વરને બદલી નાખ્યા, કેમ કે ઘાસ ખાનાર બળદની પ્રતિમા પસંદ કરીને પોતાનો મહિમા બદલ્યો.
Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 ૨૩ તેમણે તેઓનો સંહાર કરવાને કહ્યું પણ તેઓનો સંહાર કરવાને થયેલા કોપને શમાવવાને માટે તેમનો પસંદ કરેલો મૂસા વચ્ચે પડ્યો અને પ્રભુની સમક્ષ આવીને ઊભો રહ્યો.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,
but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to the LORD's voice.
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
and that he would make their offspring fall among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 ૩૮ તેઓએ નિર્દોષ લોહી, એટલે પોતાનાં દીકરાદીકરીઓનું લોહી વહેવડાવ્યું, તેનું તેઓએ કનાનની મૂર્તિઓને બલિદાન કર્યુ, લોહીથી દેશને અશુદ્ધ કર્યો.
They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41 ૪૧ તેમણે તેઓને વિદેશીઓના હાથમાં સોંપી દીધા અને જેઓ તેમને ધિક્કારતા હતા, તેઓએ તેમના પર રાજ કર્યું.
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 ૪૩ ઘણી વાર તે તેમની મદદે આવ્યા, પણ તેઓએ બંડ કરવાનું ચાલું રાખ્યું અને પોતાના પાપને લીધે તેઓ પાયમાલ થયા.
Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47 ૪૭ હે યહોવાહ, અમારા ઈશ્વર, અમારો બચાવ કરો. વિદેશીઓમાંથી અમને એકત્ર કરો કે જેથી અમે તમારા પવિત્ર નામનો આભાર માનીએ અને સ્તુતિ કરીને તમારો મહિમા કરીએ.
Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.
48 ૪૮ હે ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વર યહોવાહ, તમે અનાદિકાળથી અનંતકાળ સુધી સ્તુત્ય મનાઓ. સર્વ લોકોએ કહ્યું, “આમીન.” યહોવાહની સ્તુતિ કરો.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the LORD.
