Psalm 105
1 परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देऊ। उहाँको नाउँ उपासना गर। सबै जाति-जाति मानिसहरूलाई ती अचम्भ लाग्दा कुराहरूको बारेमा भन जुन उहाँले गर्नुहुन्छ।
2 परमप्रभु प्रति भजन गाओ, उहाँको प्रशंसा गर। उहाँले गर्नु भएको अलौकिक कुराहरूको बारेमा बताऊ। जो उहाँले गर्नुहुन्छ।
3 परमप्रभुको पवित्र नाउँमा घमण्ड गर। तिमीहरू परमप्रभुलाई खोज्दै-खोज्दै आई पुग्यौ त्यसैले अब खुशी हौ।
4 बल पाउनुलाई परमप्रभु कहाँ जाऊ। सहायताको लागि सधैं उहाँकोमा जाऊ।
5 याद गर ती अचम्मका कुराहरू जुन उहाँले गर्नुहुन्छ। याद गर उहाँका आश्चर्यकामहरू साथै उहाँका बुद्धिमानी निर्णयहरू।
6 तिमीहरू उहाँका दास अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू हौ। तिमीहरू याकूबका सन्तानहरू हौ। तिमीहरू परमेश्वरद्वारा छानिएको मानिसहरू हौ।
7 परमप्रभु नै हाम्रो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। परमप्रभुले सारा संसारमा राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ।
8 परमेश्वरको करार पत्र सदा सर्वदा याद गर। याद गर उहाँले एक हजार पुस्ताहरूलाई दिनुभएका उहाँका आदेशहरू!
9 परमेश्वरले अब्राहामसित करार गर्नु भएको थियो। परमेश्वरले इसहाक प्रति प्रतिज्ञा राख्नु भएको थियो।
10 त्यसपछि याकूबको लागि यो नियम झै बनाउनु भयो। परमेश्वरले इस्राएल सँग करार गर्नु भएको थियो। यो सर्वदा रहिरहने छ।
11 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूलाई कनानको देश दिनेछु। त्यो देश तिमीरहकै सम्पत्ति हुनेछ।”
12 परमेश्वरले त्यो वचन त्यतिबेला राख्नु भएको थियो। जब अब्राहामका परिवारहरू ससाना थिए। तिनीहरू त्यहाँ परदेशीहरू जस्तै बसे।
13 तिनीहरू एक जातिदेखि अर्को जाति, एक राज्य देखि अर्को राज्य हुँदै भ्रमण गर्दैहिंडे।
14 तर परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूप्रति अत्याचार गर्न दिनु भएन। परमेश्वरले राजाहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरूलाई दुःख नदिनु भनेर चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो।
15 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “मैले रोजेका मानिसहरूलाई दुःख नदेऊ। मेरो अगमवक्ताहरू प्रति अधर्मी व्यवहार गर्दै नगर।
16 परमेश्वरले त्यस देशमा अनिकाल पारिदिनु भयो। मानिसहरूले खानलाई प्रशस्त भोजन पाएनन्।
17 तर परमेश्वरले यूसुफ नाउँका एकजनालाई तिनीहरूको अगाडि त्यस ठाउँमा पठाउनु भयो। यूसुफ एक कमारा सरह बेचियो।
18 तिनीहरूले यूसुफका खुट्टा वरिपरि डोरीले कसे। तिनीहरूले उनको घाँटी वरिपरि फलामको घेरा हाली दिए।
19 उनले भनेका अगमवाणी कुराहरू साँच्चै नहोउञ्जेल सम्म तिनी दास सरह नै भए। परमप्रभुको सन्देशले प्रमाण गर्यो कि यूसुफ ठीक मानिस हो।
20 यसैले मिश्रका राजाले उनलाई मुक्त गरिदिए। राष्ट्रका शासकले उनलाई जेल मुक्त गरिदिए।
21 उहाँले यूसुफलाई आफ्नो घरको जिम्मामा राखिदिए, यूसुफले आफ्नो स्वामीको सबै सम्पत्तिमाथि हेरचाह गरे।
22 यूसुफले अन्य अगुवाहरूलाई निर्देश दिए। यूसुफले बुढापाकाहरूलाई शिक्षा दिए।
23 तब इस्राएल मिश्र तर्फ आए, याकूब हामको देशमा बसे।
24 याकूबको परिवार अत्यन्त बढेर गयो। तिनीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरू भन्दा धेरै शक्तिशाली भए।
25 यसकारण मिश्रवासीहरूले याकूबको परिवारलाई हेला गर्न थाले। तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका दासहरू विरूद्ध योजना तयार गर्न थाले।
26 यसैले परमेश्वरले आफ्ना दास मोशालाई पठाउनु भयो, अनि उहाँले रोजेको पूजाहारी हारूनलाई पठाउनुभयो।
27 परमेश्वरले मोशा र हारूनको माध्यमद्वारा हाम्रो देशमा धेरै आश्चर्यकामहरू देखाउनु भयो।
28 परमेश्वरले निक्खुर कालो अन्धकार पठाउनुभयो तर मिश्रवासीहरूले उहाँलाई सुनेनन्।
29 यसैले परमेश्वरले पानीलाई रगतमा परिवर्तन गर्नुभयो, अनि त्यहाँका सारा माछाहरू मरे।
30 तिनीहरूका देश भ्यागुतै भ्यागुताले भरियो। राजाका सुत्ने कोठा पनि भ्यागुताहरू भरिए।
31 परमेश्वरले आज्ञा दिनुभयो, अनि झिंगाहरू र जुम्राहरू आउन थाले। तिनीहरू चारैतिर फैलिएर गए।
32 परमेश्वरले बर्षालाई असिनामा परिवर्तन गर्नुभयो। बिजुलीको प्रहार तिनीहरूको देशभरि फ्याँकियो।
33 परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूको अङ्गुरका र नेभराको रूखहरू ध्वंश पारी दिनुभयो। परमेश्वरले सारा रूखहरू ध्वंश पारी दिनुभयो।
34 परमेश्वरले आज्ञा दिनुभयो, अनि सलहहरू र फटेङ्ग्राहरू आउन थाले। तिनीहरू अनगन्ति थिए।
35 सलहहरू र फटेङ्ग्राहरूले देशका सारा उद्भिद्हरू खाएर नष्ट पारिदिए। तिनीहरूले खेतका सारा अन्नबालीहरू खाई नष्ट पारिदिए।
36 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूको देशमा परमेश्वरले पहिलो जन्मेका प्रत्येक पुत्रलाई मारिदिनु भयो। परमेश्वरले प्रत्येक पुरूषको शक्ति प्रमाणलाई नष्ट पार्नु भयो।
37 त्यसपछि उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरू मिश्रबाट निकाल्नु भयो। तिनीहरूले आफूसँग सुन र चाँदीहरू लिएर आए। परमेश्वरका मानिसहरू कोही पनि ठोकिएनन् र लडेनन्।
38 परमेश्वरका मानिसहरू गएका देखेर मिश्रवासीहरू खुशी भए किनभने तिनीहरूबाट उनीहरू भयभीत थिए।
39 परमेश्वरले कम्बल जस्तो बादल फिंजाई दिनुभयो। परमेश्वरले आफ्नो आगो राती उज्यालो पार्नलाई तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो।
40 मानिसहरूले भोजन मागे अनि परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई वट्टाई चरा ल्याइदिनु भयो। परमेश्वरले स्वर्गबाट तिनीहरूलाई प्रशस्त खानेकुरा र रोटीहरू दिनुभयो।
41 परमेश्वरले चट्टानलाई खण्डित पार्नु भयो अनि त्यहाँबाट भुलभुल पानी निस्क्यो। मरूभूमिमा नदी बग्न थाल्यो।
42 परमेश्वरले उहाँको वचन संम्झनु भयो। परमेश्वरले आफ्ना दास अब्राहामसँग गर्नु भएको वचन सम्झनुभयो।
43 परमेश्वरले आफ्ना मानिसहरू मिश्रबाट निकालेर ल्याउनु भयो। मानिसहरू खुशी र आनन्दले गाउँदै, गाउँदै निस्किए!
44 तब परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई देश दिनुभयो, जहाँ अन्य मानिसहरू बस्दै गरेका थिए। परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूले अन्य मानिसहरूले गर्नु परेका परिश्रमका चीजहरू पाए।
45 किन परमेश्वरले त्यसो गर्नुभयो? किनकि उहाँका मानिसहरूले उहाँका नियमहरू पालन गर्न सकुन। यसकारण तिनीहरूले होशियारीसाथ उहाँका व्यवस्थाहरू पालन गर्न सकुन। परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर!
1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
