Psalm 90
1 हे प्रभु, तू पीढ़ी से पीढ़ी तक हमारे लिये धाम बना है।
2 इस से पहिले कि पहाड़ उत्पन्न हुए, वा तू ने पृथ्वी और जगत की रचना की, वरन अनादिकाल से अनन्तकाल तक तू ही ईश्वर है॥
3 तू मनुष्य को लौटा कर चूर करता है, और कहता है, कि हे आदमियों, लौट आओ!
4 क्योंकि हजार वर्ष तेरी दृष्टि में ऐसे हैं, जैसा कल का दिन जो बीत गया, वा रात का एक पहर॥
5 तू मनुष्यों को धारा में बहा देता है; वे स्वप्न से ठहरते हैं, वे भोर को बढ़ने वाली घास के समान होते हैं।
6 वह भोर को फूलती और बढ़ती है, और सांझ तक कट कर मुर्झा जाती है॥
7 क्योंकि हम तेरे क्रोध से नाश हुए हैं; और तेरी जलजलाहट से घबरा गए हैं।
8 तू ने हमारे अधर्म के कामों से अपने सम्मुख, और हमारे छिपे हुए पापों को अपने मुख की ज्योति में रखा है॥
9 क्योंकि हमारे सब दिन तेरे क्रोध में बीत जाते हैं, हम अपने वर्ष शब्द की नाईं बिताते हैं।
10 हमारी आयु के वर्ष सत्तर तो होते हैं, और चाहे बल के कारण अस्सी वर्ष के भी हो जाएं, तौभी उनका घमण्ड केवल नष्ट और शोक ही शोक है; क्योंकि वह जल्दी कट जाती है, और हम जाते रहते हैं।
11 तेरे क्रोध की शक्ति को और तेरे भय के योग्य तेरे रोष को कौन समझता है?
12 हम को अपने दिन गिनने की समझ दे कि हम बुद्धिमान हो जाएं॥
13 हे यहोवा लौट आ! कब तक? और अपने दासों पर तरस खा!
14 भोर को हमें अपनी करूणा से तृप्त कर, कि हम जीवन भर जयजयकार और आनन्द करते रहें।
15 जितने दिन तू हमें दु:ख देता आया, और जितने वर्ष हम क्लेश भोगते आए हैं उतने ही वर्ष हम को आनन्द दे।
16 तेरा काम तेरे दासों को, और तेरा प्रताप उनकी सन्तान पर प्रगट हो।
17 और हमारे परमेश्वर यहोवा की मनोहरता हम पर प्रगट हो, तू हमारे हाथों का काम हमारे लिये दृढ़ कर, हमारे हाथों के काम को दृढ़ कर॥
1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
2 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
3 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
4 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
5 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
6 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
7 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
8 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
9 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
10 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
11 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
12 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
13 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
14 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
15 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
16 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
17 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
18 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3 And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the Lord shall choose;
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the Lord.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
