Psalm 118
1 हे जाति जाति के सब लोगों यहोवा की स्तुति करो! हे राज्य राज्य के सब लोगो, उसकी प्रशंसा करो!क्योंकि उसकी करूणा हमारे ऊपर प्रबल हुई है; और यहोवा की सच्चाई सदा की है याह की स्तुति करो! यहोवा का धन्यवाद करो, क्योंकि वह भला है; और उसकी करूणा सदा की है!
2 इस्राएल कहे, उसकी करूणा सदा की है।
3 हारून का घराना कहे, उसकी करूणा सदा की है।
4 यहोवा के डरवैये कहें, उसकी करूणा सदा की है।
5 मैं ने सकेती में परमेश्वर को पुकारा, परमेश्वर ने मेरी सुन कर, मुझे चौड़े स्थान में पहुंचाया।
6 यहोवा मेरी ओर है, मैं न डरूंगा। मनुष्य मेरा क्या कर सकता है?
7 यहोवा मेरी ओर मेरे सहायकों में है; मैं अपने बैरियों पर दृष्टि कर सन्तुष्ट हूंगा।
8 यहोवा की शरण लेनी, मनुष्य पर भरोसा रखने से उत्तम है।
9 यहोवा की शरण लेनी, प्रधानों पर भी भरोसा रखने से उत्तम है॥
10 सब जातियों ने मुझ को घेर लिया है; परन्तु यहोवा के नाम से मैं निश्चय उन्हें नाश कर डालूंगा!
11 उन्होंने मुझ को घेर लिया है, नि:सन्देह घेर लिया है; परन्तु यहोवा के नाम से मैं निश्चय उन्हें नाश कर डालूंगा!
12 उन्होंने मुझे मधुमक्खियों की नाईं घेर लिया है, परन्तु कांटों की आग की नाईं वे बुझ गए; यहोवा के नाम से मैं निश्चय उन्हें नाश कर डालूंगा!
13 तू ने मुझे बड़ा धक्का दिया तो था, कि मैं गिर पडूं परन्तु यहोवा ने मेरी सहायता की।
14 परमेश्वर मेरा बल और भजन का विषय है; वह मेरा उद्धार ठहरा है॥
15 धर्मियों के तम्बुओं में जयजयकार और उद्धार की ध्वनि हो रही है, यहोवा के दाहिने हाथ से पराक्रम का काम होता है,
16 यहोवा का दहिना हाथ महान हुआ है, यहोवा के दाहिने हाथ से पराक्रम का काम होता है!
17 मैं न मरूंगा वरन जीवित रहूंगा, और परमेश्वर के कामों का वर्णन करता रहूंगा।
18 परमेश्वर ने मेरी बड़ी ताड़ना तो की है परन्तु मुझे मृत्यु के वश में नहीं किया॥
19 मेरे लिये धर्म के द्वार खोलो, मैं उन से प्रवेश करके याह का धन्यवाद करूंगा॥
20 यहोवा का द्वार यही है, इस से धर्मी प्रवेश करने पाएंगे॥
21 हे यहोवा मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करूंगा, क्योंकि तू ने मेरी सुन ली है और मेरा उद्धार ठहर गया है।
22 राजमिस्त्रियों ने जिस पत्थर को निकम्मा ठहराया था वही कोने का सिरा हो गया है।
23 यह तो यहोवा की ओर से हुआ है, यह हमारी दृष्टि में अद्भुत है।
24 आज वह दिन है जो यहोवा ने बनाया है; हम इस में मगन और आनन्दित हों।
25 हे यहोवा, बिनती सुन, उद्धार कर! हे यहोवा, बिनती सुन, सफलता दे!
26 धन्य है वह जो यहोवा के नाम से आता है! हम ने तुम को यहोवा के घर से आशीर्वाद दिया है।
27 यहोवा ईश्वर है, और उसने हम को प्रकाश दिया है। यज्ञपशु को वेदी के सींगों से रस्सियों बान्धो!
28 हे यहोवा, तू मेरा ईश्वर है, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करूंगा; तू मेरा परमेश्वर है, मैं तुझ को सराहूंगा॥
29 यहोवा का धन्यवाद करो, क्योंकि वह भला है; और उसकी करूणा सदा बनी रहेगी!
1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord.
3 He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
6 And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,
12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.
15 And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
