Psalm 68

1 हे परमेश्वर, जाग्नु होस् र तपाईंका शत्रुहरूलाई यत्रतत्र छरिदिनु होस्। उहाँका शत्रुहरू उहाँबाटै भागोस्।

2 हावाले धूवाँलाई फुके जस्तै तपाईंको शत्रुहरू यत्रतत्र छरिनु परोस्। मैन अगोमा पग्लिए जस्तै तपाईंको शत्रुहरू नष्ट होस्।

3 तर धर्मी मानिसहरू सुखी छन्, धर्मी मानिसहरू परमप्रभु-परमेश्वरको साथ हुने-सँगै आनन्दमा छन्। धर्मी मानिसहरू स्वयं आनन्द मनाउने छन् अनि सुखी हुन्छन्।

4 उहाँको सम्मानमा बाजा गाजा सहित गीत गाऊ। परमेश्वरको निम्ति बाटो तयार पार। उहाँले आफ्नो रथ मरूभूमि तिर उडाउनुहुन्छ उहाँको नाउँ ‘याह, हो उहाँको नाउँको प्रशंसा गर!

5 उहाँको पवित्र मन्दिरमा परमेश्वर टुहुरा-टुहरीका निम्ति पिता झैं हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँले विधवहरूको हेरचाह गर्नुहुन्छ।

6 परमेश्वरले एक्लो मानिसलाई घर दिनुहुन्छ। उहाँले कैदीहरूलाई धैरे सम्पत्तिसित बाहिरा ल्याउनुहुन्छ। तर जो मानिसहरू परमेश्वरको विरोधमा जान्छन् तिनीहरूसित केही पनि रहँदैन।

7 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले आफ्नो भक्तजनहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर डोर्याउनु भयो। तपाईं मरूभूमि भएर कदम बढाउनु भयो र पृथ्वी पनि हल्लियो।

8 हे परमप्रभु इस्राएल का परमेश्वर, जब सीनैपर्वतमा आउनु भयो, तब पृथ्वी काम्यो अनि आकाश पग्लियो।

9 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले बर्षा पठाउनु भयो, क्लान्त, वृद्ध धर्तीलाई फेरि बलियो भूमि बनाउन।

10 तपाईंका पशुहरू फर्केर त्यही भूमिमा आए। हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले गरीब दुःखीहरूलाई धेरै राम्रा चीजहरू दिनुभयो।

11 परमेश्वरले आज्ञा दिनुभयो अनि धेरै मानिसहरू सुसमाचार सुनाउन गए।

12 “शक्तिशाली राजाहरूका सिपाहीहरू भागेर गए! नारीहरूले लुटका सामान घर-घरमा भाग गरेर राखेकी छन् जुन सिपाहीहरूले युद्धबाट ल्याएका थिए। ती मानिसहरू जो घरमा बसेका छन् तिनीहरूले सम्पत्ति बाँडने छन्।

13 तिनीहरूले चाँदीले छोपीएका ढुकुरका पखेंटाहरू पाउने छन्। तिनीहरूले सुनका चमकले टल्किरहेका पखेंटाहरू पाउने छन्।”

14 जालमन पर्वतमा परमेश्वरले शत्रु राजाहरू तितर-बितर पार्नु भयो। ती झरिरहेका हिमपात जस्तै थिए।

15 परमेश्वरको पर्वत बाशान पर्वत हो! बाशान पर्वत धेरै चुचुराहरू भएको विशाल पर्वत हो।

16 हे बाशान पर्वत! तिमी किन सियोन पर्वतलाई हेला गर्छौ? परमेश्वरले सीनै पर्वतलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ। उहाँले त्यही जग्गालाई वास-स्थान बनाउनु भयो।

17 परमप्रभु पवित्र सीनै पर्वतमा आउनु भयो। उहाँको पछि लाखौंलाख रथहरू छन्।

18 उहाँ उच्च पर्वत माथि-माथि जानु भयो। ती मानिसहरूसित जो उहाँका विरूद्ध भए कैदीहरूको लहरलाई पथ-निर्देश गर्दै पुरूषहरूबाट उपहार लिनलाई, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर त्यहाँ रहनलाई जानु भयो।

19 परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर! प्रत्येक दिन उहाँले हाम्रो बोझ उठाउनु हुन्छ। जुन हामी आफैंले उठाउनु पर्ने हो परमेश्वरले हामीलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ।

20 उहाँ हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँ नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले हामीलाई उद्धार गर्नुहुन्छ। परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई बचाउनु हुन्छ।

21 परमेश्वरले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई परास्त गरेको देखाउनु हुनेछ। परमेश्वरले उहाँको विरूद्ध लड्नेहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ।

22 मेरो स्वामीले भन्नुभयो, “म बाशानबाट शत्रु फर्काई ल्याउने छु, म पश्चिमबाट शत्रु ल्याउनेछु।

23 यसकारण तिमीहरू उनीहरूको रगतमा हिंड्न सक, यसकारण तिमीहरूका कुकुरहरूले तिनीहरूको रगत ल्याप्-ल्याप् चाट्ने छन्।”

24 हेर, परमेश्वरले विजयी लहरलाई डोर्याई रहनुभएको! हेर मेरो पवित्र परमेश्वर, मेरो राजा, विजयी लहरलाई डोर्याइरहनु भएको!

25 आगाडि गायकहरू हिंडिरहेका छन्, तिनीहरूको पछि-पछि संगीतकारहरू हिड्दैछन्। तिनीहरूलाई खैंजडी बजाउँदै गरेका कुमारीहरूले घेरेका छन्।

26 समुदायहरूमा परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर! हे इस्राएल का मानिसहरू, परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर!

27 त्यहाँ सानो बिन्यामीन छ, तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याईरहेका। अनि त्यहाँ यहूदाका महान् परिवार पनि छन्। अनि त्यहाँ जबूलून र नप्ताली अगुवाहरू पनि छन्।

28 हे परमेश्वर, हामीलाई तपाईंको शक्ति देखाउनु होस्! हाम्रो निम्ति बितेका दिनहरूमा प्रयोग गर्नु भएको शक्ति देखाउनु होस्।

29 राजाहरूले आफ्नो सम्पत्ति तपाईंको महल यरूशलेममा ल्याउने छन्।

30 तिम्रो लठ्ठीले ती “पशुहरूलाई” सधाऊ। ती मानिसहरूको जस्ता “साँढेका बथानलाई” तिमीले अनुशरण गर्ने बनाऊ। तिनीहरूले आज्ञा मान्दछन्। तिमीले ती जातिहरूलाई युद्धमा हरायौ। अब तिनीहरूलाई चाँदीका टुक्रा ल्याउन लगाऊ।

31 मिश्रबाट तिनीहरूलाई सम्पत्ति ल्याउन लगाऊ, एथिओपियाहरूलाई तिमीकहाँ धन ल्याउन लगाऊ।

32 हे पृथ्वीका राजाहरू हो! परमेश्वरको गुण गाऊ! हाम्रो स्वामीको स्तुति-गान गर!

33 परमेश्वरकोलागि गीत गाऊ! उहाँ रथद्वारा सनातन आकाश भएर आउनु भईरहेछ। उहाँको शक्तिशाली आवाज सुन!

34 परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गाऊ किनभने उहाँ इस्राएल माथि महिमित राजा हुनुहुन्छ अनि उहाँको शक्ति आकाशमा छ।

35 हे परमेश्वर आफ्ना मन्दिरमा तपाईं डरलाग्दो हुनुहुन्छ। इस्राएल का परमेश्वरले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बल र शक्ति दिनुभयो, परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर।

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.

2 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

3 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

4 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

5 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

6 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

7 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

8 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

9 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

10 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

11 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

12 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

13 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

14 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

15 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

16 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

17 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.

18 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

19 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

20 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

21 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

22 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

23 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

25 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

26 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

27 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

28 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

29 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

30 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

31 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

32 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

33 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

34 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

35 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

36 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.

13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
