Psalm 132
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ସପକ୍ଷରେ ତାଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ମହାନ୍ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯକୁ ସ୍ମରଣ କର।
2 ଏବଂ ସ୍ମରଣ କର, କିପରି ସେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଶପଥ ନଲେେ, ଦାଉଦ ୟାକୁବର ଶକ୍ତିମାନ୍ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରେ ଏକ ବିଶଷେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କଲେ।
3 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ଏକ ପବିତ୍ର ଗୃହ ନ ପାଇବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ୟାକୁବର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏକ ତମ୍ବୁ କରିବି।
4 ମୁଁ ଶଯନ କରିବି ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ମାରେ ଚକ୍ଷୁକୁ ବିଶ୍ରାମ ଦବେି ନାହିଁ।
5 ମୁଁ ମାରେ ଗୃହକୁ ୟିବି ନାହିଁ ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ମାେ ବିଛଣାରେ ରହିବି ନାହିଁ।
6 ଦେଖ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଇଫ୍ରାଥାରେ ନିଯମ-ସିନ୍ଦୁକ ବିଷଯରେ ଶୁଣିଲୁ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବିନମ୍ର କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ ଏହାକୁ ପାଇଲୁ।
7 ଚାଲ ସହେି ପବିତ୍ର ତମ୍ବୁକୁ ୟିବା। ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କ ପାଦପୀଠରେ ଉପାସନା କରିବା।
8 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଉଠ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ରାମ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ୟାଅ, ସିନ୍ଦୁକ ସହିତ ୟାଅ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶକ୍ତିକୁ ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶନ କରେ।
9 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ୟାଜକମାନେ ବିଜଯ ପରିହିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତୁ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଅନୁସରଣକାରୀମାନେ ବହୁତ ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ପାଟି କରନ୍ତୁ।
10 ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦାସ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ସକାଶୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଭିଷିକ୍ତ ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କର ନାହିଁ।
11 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କଲେ, ତାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ବିଶ୍ବାସର ଗୋଟିଏ ଶପଥ କଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବଂଶରୁ ଜଣକୁ ସବୁଦିନ ପାଇଁ ରାଜସିଂହାସନରେ ଅଧିଷ୍ଠିତ କରିବା।
12 ଦାଉଦ, ୟଦି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରୀଗଣ ଆମ୍ଭର ନିଯମକୁ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଶିକ୍ଷା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦିଏ ସଗେୁଡ଼ିକୁ ମାନନ୍ତି, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପରିବାରରୁ କହେିଜଣେ ସବୁଦିନ ରାଜା ହାଇେ ରହିବି।
13 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସିଯୋନକୁ ତାଙ୍କର ମନ୍ଦିର ପାଇଁ ବାଛିଲେ। ଓ ସେ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଆପଣା ବାସସ୍ଥାନ ପାଇଁ ମନୋନୀତ କଲେ।
14 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହା ଚିରକାଳ ମାରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମସ୍ଥାନ ହବେ। ଏହା ହେଉଛି ଗୋଟିଏ ସ୍ଥାନ ଯେଉଁଥିରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସିଂହାସନରେ ବସିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁ।
15 ଆମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ସହରର ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଉପରେ ବହୁଳ ରୂପେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିବା। ଏପରିକି ସଠାେକାର ଗରିବମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ପ୍ରଚୁର ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପାଇବେ।
16 ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କର ୟାଜକଗଣଙ୍କୁ ହିଁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ରୂପକ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧାଇବା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭର ଅନୁଗାମୀମାନେ ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ଧ୍ବନି କରିବେ।
17 ଏହା ଗୋଟିଏ ଜାଗା ଯେଉଁଠାରେ କି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ପରିବାରକୁ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କରିବା। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ବଚ୍ଛାୟାଇଥିବା ରାଜାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଦୀପ ଜଳିବାକୁ କବେେ ହେଲେ ନିବୃତ୍ତ କରିବା ନାହିଁ।
18 ତାଙ୍କର ଶତ୍ରୁଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଲଜ୍ଜାରେ ଆଚ୍ଛାଦିତ କରିବା, କିନ୍ତୁ ତାଙ୍କ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ଉପରେ ଚକ୍ ଚକ୍ କରୁଥିବା ରାଜମୁକୁଟ ଶାେଭା ପାଇବ।
1 A Song of degrees.
2 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
3 How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
4 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
5 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
6 Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
7 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
8 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
9 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
10 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
11 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
12 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
13 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
14 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
15 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
16 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
17 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
18 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
19 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
