ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 37
By David. Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 ੭ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਚੁੱਪ-ਚਾਪ ਰਹਿ ਅਤੇ ਧੀਰਜ ਨਾਲ ਉਹ ਦੀ ਉਡੀਕ ਰੱਖ, ਉਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਨਾ ਕੁੜ੍ਹ ਜਿਹ ਦਾ ਰਾਹ ਸਫ਼ਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਜੁਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਿਆਂ ਕਰਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
10 ੧੦ ਹੁਣ ਥੋੜਾ ਹੀ ਚਿਰ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ, ਤੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਧਿਆਨ ਨਾਲ ਵੇਖੇਂਗਾ, ਪਰ ਉਹ ਕਿਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 ੧੪ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਨੇ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਧੂਹੀ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਧਣੁੱਖ ਖਿੱਚਿਆ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਮਸਕੀਨ ਤੇ ਕੰਗਾਲ ਨੂੰ ਡੇਗ ਦੇਣ, ਅਤੇ ਸਿੱਧੇ ਚਾਲ-ਚੱਲਣ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਨੋਂ ਮਾਰ ਸੁੱਟਣ।
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 ੨੦ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨਾਸ ਹੋ ਜਾਣਗੇ, ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਦੀ ਘਾਹ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ, ਉਹ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਣਗੇ ਸਗੋਂ ਧੂੰਏਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਣਗੇ।
But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.
Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
25 ੨੫ ਮੈਂ ਜੁਆਨ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਹੁਣ ਬੁੱਢਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹਾਂ, ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਨਾ ਧਰਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ, ਨਾ ਉਹ ਦੀ ਅੰਸ ਨੂੰ ਟੁੱਕੜੇ ਮੰਗਦਿਆਂ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਹੈ।
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
28 ੨੮ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤਾਂ ਨਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦੀ ਅੰਸ ਛੇਕੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।
For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
33 ੩੩ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਵੱਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾ ਛੱਡੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਜਦ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਫੈਸਲਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਨਾ ਠਹਿਰਾਵੇਗਾ।
Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 ੩੪ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਉਡੀਕ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ ਦੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਉੱਚਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਬਣੇਂ। ਤੂੰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦਾ ਛੇਕਿਆ ਜਾਣਾ ਵੇਖੇਂਗਾ।
Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 ੩੫ ਮੈਂ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਡੀ ਆਕੜ ਵਿੱਚ, ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਨਿੱਜ ਭੂਮੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੇਦਾਰ ਦੇ ਹਰੇ ਭਰੇ ਬੂਟੇ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਫੈਲਦਿਆਂ ਦੇਖਿਆ।
I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 ੪੦ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਛੁਡਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਉਂਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਬਚਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਆਏ ਹਨ।
Yahweh helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
