Psalm 34
1 সর্বদা আমি প্রভুকে ধন্যবাদ জানাই| আমার মুখ সর্বদাই তাঁর প্রশংসা করে|
2 হে বিনীত লোকরা, যখন আমি প্রভুর সম্পর্কে বড়াই করি তোমরা শোন এবং সুখী হও|
3 আমার সঙ্গে সঙ্গে ঈশ্বরের প্রশংসা কর| এসো আমরা তাঁর নামের সম্মান করি|
4 আমি ঈশ্বরের কাছে সাহায্যের জন্য গিয়েছিলাম এবং তিনি শুনেছেন| যা কিছু আমি ভয় করতাম, তা থেকে তিনি আমায় উদ্ধার করেছেন|
5 সাহায্যের জন্য ঈশ্বরের দিকে চাও, তিনি তোমায় গ্রহণ করবেন| লজ্জিত হযো না|
6 এই দরিদ্র মানুষটি প্রভুকে ডেকে সাহায্য প্রার্থনা করে| প্রভু আমার কথা শুনেছেন এবং সব সমস্যা থেকে তিনি আমায় রক্ষা করেছেন|
7 যারা প্রভুকে অনুসরণ করে, প্রভুর দূত এসে তাদের চারিদিকে শিবির স্থাপন করেন| প্রভুর দূত তাদের রক্ষা করেন|
8 প্রভু কতখানি ভালো তা দেখাবার জন্য প্রভুর স্বাদ গ্রহণ কর| য়ে প্রভুর ওপর নির্ভর করে সে সত্যিই সুখী হয়|
9 তোমরা প্রভুর পবিত্র অনুগামীরা, প্রভুকে শ্রদ্ধা কর| কারণ অনুগামীদের কাছে প্রত্যেকটি জিনিস আছে যা তাদের প্রযোজন|
10 বলবান লোকরাও ক্ষুধার্ত এবং দুর্বল হয়ে পড়বে| কিন্তু যারা ঈশ্বরের কাছে সাহায্যের জন্য যাবে, তারা সব ভালো জিনিসই পাবে|
11 শিশুরা, আমার কথা শোন, আমি তোমাদের শিখিয়ে দেবো কেমন করে প্রভুকে শ্রদ্ধা করতে হয়|
12 যদি কেউ জীবনকে ভালোবাসে এবং দীর্ঘ ও ভালো জীবনযাপন করতে চায়,
13 তাহলে, সেই ব্যক্তি য়েন মন্দ কথা না বলে, সে য়েন মিথ্যা কথা না বলে|
14 খারাপ কাজ করা বন্ধ করে দাও! ভালো কাজ কর| শান্তির জন্য কাজ কর| য়তক্ষণ না শান্তি পাও, ততক্ষণ তার পেছনে ছুটে বেড়াও|
15 ভালো লোকদের প্রভু রক্ষা করেন| তিনি তাদের প্রার্থনা শোনেন|
16 কিন্তু যারা খারাপ কাজ করে প্রভু তাদের বিরোধী| তিনি তাদের সম্পূর্ণরূপে ধ্বংস করেন!
17 প্রভুর কাছে প্রার্থনা কর এবং তিনি তোমার কথা শুনবেন এবং সব সংকট থেকে তিনি তোমায় উদ্ধার করবেন|
18 যখন সংকট আসে তখন কযেকজন দম্ভ করা থেকে বিরত হয়| প্রভু সেই সব ভগ্ন হৃদয় লোকের কাছাকাছি থাকেন এবং তাদের উদ্ধার করেন|
19 ভালো লোকদের অনেক সমস্যা হতে পারে, কিন্তু প্রত্যেকটা সমস্যা থেকে প্রভু তাদের উদ্ধার করবেন|
20 তাদের প্রত্যেকটি হাড় প্রভু রক্ষা করবেন| তাদের একটি হাড়ও ভাঙবে না|
21 দুষ্ট লোকদের শযতানি তাদের ক্রমশঃ ধ্বংস করবে|
22 প্রভু তাঁর দাসদের আত্মাকে রক্ষা করেন| যারা তাঁর ওপর নির্ভর করে তিনি তাদের বিনষ্ট হতে দেবেন না|
1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.
2 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
3 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
4 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
5 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
6 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
7 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
8 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
9 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
10 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
12 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
14 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
16 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
17 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
19 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
20 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
21 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
22 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
23 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
