Psalm 33
1 हे असल धार्मिक मानिसहरू परमप्रभुमा आनन्दित होऊ! उहाँको गुण गाउनु मानिसहरूका लागि राम्रो हुन्छ।
2 वीणा बजाएर परमप्रभुको स्तुति गर! दश तारे साराङ्गी बजाएर परमप्रभुको भजन गाओ।
3 उहाँको निम्ति एउटा नयाँ गीत गाऊ। सुखमय सुन्दर वाद्यहरू बजाऊ!
4 परमेश्वरको वचन सत्य छ। उहाँले गर्नुभएको प्रत्येक कुरामा तिमीहरू भर पर्न सक्छौ।
5 परमेश्वर स्वच्छ हुनु मन पराउनु हुन्छ अनि राम्रो काम गर्नु हुन्छ। परमेश्वरको साँचो प्रेमले पृथ्वी भरिन्छ।
6 परमप्रभुले आदेश गर्नुभयो र यो संसार बनियो। परमेश्वरको मुखबाट निस्केको सासबाट पृथ्वीमा प्रत्येक कुराको सृजना भयो।
7 परमप्रभुले समुद्रबाट पानी एक ठाउँमा थुपार्नु भयो। उहाँले सागरलाई आफ्नो ठाउँमा राख्नुभयो।
8 यस पृथ्वीमा प्रत्येक मानिसले डराउनु पर्छ र परमप्रभुको सम्मान गर्नु पर्छ। संसारमा भएका सबै मानिसहरू उहाँदेखि डराउनु पर्नेछ।
9 किन? किनभने परमेश्वरले आदेश गर्दा मात्र ती कुराहरू प्रकट हुन्छन। अनि यदि उहँले भन्नुहुन्छ, “रोक!” तब ती सबै रोकिने छन्।
10 यदि परमप्रभुले चाहनु भयो भने, प्रत्येकका योजनाहरू व्यार्थ पार्न सक्नुहुन्छ। उहाँले तिनीहरूका योजनाहरू ध्वंश पार्न सक्नु हुन्छ।
11 तर परमप्रभुको सल्लाह सदा-सर्वदा असल हुन्छ। उहाँका योजनाहरू पुस्तौं-पुस्तासम्म असल हुन्छन्।
12 परमप्रभु जुन मानिसहरूको परमेश्वर स्वरूप हुनुहुन्छ, तिनीहरू सौभाग्यशाली हुन्छन्। किन? किनभने परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई उहाँको आफ्नै खास मानिसहरू सरह रोज्नु भएकोछ।
13 परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नु भयो अनि उहाँले सारा मानिसहरूलाई देख्नु भयो।
14 उहाँले उच्च-आसनबाट तल पृथ्वीमा बाँचिरहेका सारा मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नु भयो।
15 परमेश्वरले प्रत्येक मानिसको रचना गर्नुभयो। परमेश्वर तिनीहरूले के सोच्दछन् जान्नुहुन्छ।
16 कुनै पनि राजा आफ्नो महान् शक्तिद्वारा बाँच्दैन। कुनै पनि बलियो सिपाही उसको महान् बलबाट बाँच्दैन।
17 घोडाहरूले साँच्चै लडाइँमा विजय ल्याउँदैनन्। तिनीहरूका बलले तिनीहरूलाई वास्तवमा भाग्न सहायता गर्न सक्दैन।
18 परमप्रभुले हेर्नुहुन्छ साथै हेरचाह गर्नुहुन्छ तिमीहरूमध्ये जसले उहाँलाई मान्दछन्। जसले उहाँलाई सम्मान् गर्छ उहाँ महान् प्रेमले, मानिसहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ।
19 परमेश्वरले ती मानिसहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनु हुन्छ। जब तिनीहरू भोका हुन्छन् उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बल दिनुहुन्छ।
20 यसैले हामी आशा लिएर परमप्रभुलाई पर्खनेछौं। उहाँले हामीलाई साथ दिनुहुन्छ र रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ।
21 परमेश्वरले हामीलाई खुशी पार्नु हुन्छ, हामी साँच्चै उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा भरोसा गर्छौं।
22 हे परमप्रभु, हामी साँचो मनले तपाईंलाई पूज्दछौं! यसर्थ हामीलाई तपाईंको महान् प्रेम दर्शाउनुहोस्।
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
24 And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
