Psalm 50
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ବାକ୍ଯଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବିଷଯରେ କହିଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ପୃଥିବୀର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ କରନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସକାଳରୁ ସନ୍ଧ୍ଯା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହନ୍ତି।
2 ପରମ ସୌନ୍ଦର୍ୟ୍ଯମଯୀ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ବାକ୍ଯସବୁ ସିୟୋନ୍ ପର୍ବତରେ ଥିବା ମନ୍ଦିରରେ କୁହାୟାଏ। ସହେି ମନ୍ଦିର ପର୍ବତକୁ ଶାେଭା ମଣ୍ଡିତ କରିଥାଏ।
3 ଆମ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି ଓ ସେ କବେେ ନୀରବରେ ରହିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ତାଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ଅଗ୍ନି ଜଳୁଛି, ସଠାେରେ ଏକ ବିରାଟ ଝଡ଼ ତାଙ୍କ ଚାରିପାଖରେ ଘୂରି ବୁଲୁଛି।
4 ଆମ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆକାଶ ଓ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ଡ଼ାକି କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଶୁଣ, ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ବିଚାର କରିବି।
5 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହନ୍ତି, ମାରେ ଅନୁସରଣକାରୀଗଣ, ମାେ ଚତୁଃପାଶର୍ବରେ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ ହୁଅ। ମାରେ ଉପାସକଗଣ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ମାେ ସହିତ ଚୁକ୍ତି କଲ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆସ।
6 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ବିଚାରକର୍ତ୍ତା। ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ତାଙ୍କର ନ୍ଯାଯ ପ୍ରିଯତାକୁ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରେ।
7 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହନ୍ତି, ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଅଧିବାସୀଗଣ, ମାରେ ଅନୁଗାମୀମାନେ ମାରେ କଥା ଶୁଣ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ତାହାର ପ୍ରମାଣ ଦଖାଇବେି ୟାହା ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ୟିବ। ମୁଁ ହିଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ବର।
8 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବଳିଦାନ ବିଷଯରେ ଅଭିଯୋଗ କରୁ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଅଧିବାସୀଗଣ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ହାମବେଳି ଆଣୁଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାକୁ ମାେତେ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ଅର୍ପଣ କରୁଅଛ।
9 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଗୃହରୁ ବଳଦମାନଙ୍କୁ ନବେି ନାହିଁ କି ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଗୁହାଳରୁ ଛଳେିମାନଙ୍କୁ ନବେି ନାହିଁ।
10 ମୁଁ ସହେି ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଚା ହେଁ ନାହିଁ। ଜଙ୍ଗଲରେ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ପଶୁମାନେ ମାରେ ଅଟନ୍ତି। ହଜାର ହଜାର ପଶୁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପର୍ବତରେ ଥାଆନ୍ତି ସମାନଙ୍କେର ମାଲିକ ମୁଁ ଅଟେ।
11 ମୁଁ ଅତିଉଚ୍ଚ ପର୍ବତରେ ଉଠୁଥିବା ପକ୍ଷୀକୁ ଜାଣେ। ଖାେଲା ଦେଶ ଭିତରେ ସମସ୍ତ ପଶୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ମାରେ ଅଟେ।
12 ମୁଁ ଭୋକିଲା ନୁହେଁ, ୟଦି ମୁଁ ଭୋକିଲା ଥାନ୍ତି, କବେେ ହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ମାଗି ନ ଥାନ୍ତି। ମୁଁ ଏହି ପୃଥିବୀର ମାଲିକ ଓ ତହିଁର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣତା ମାରେ ଅଧୀନ ଅଟେ।
13 ମୁଁ ଷଣ୍ଢର ମାଂସ ଖାଏ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ଛଳେିର ରକ୍ତ ପିଏ ନାହିଁ।
14 ସର୍ବୋପରିସ୍ଥ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ୟାହା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କଲ, ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦିଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ବଳି ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କର।
15 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବିପଦରେ ପଡ଼ିଥିବା ବେଳେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଡ଼ାକ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବୁ ଓ ତା'ପରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ମହିମା କରିବ।
16 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ନିଯମ ଓ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ବିଷଯରେ ଆଲୋଚନା କରିବା ଠିକ୍ ନୁହେଁ।
17 କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ନୁହଁ, ଯେତବେେଳେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡିତ କରେ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ କଥାକୁ ଘୃଣା କର। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ କଥାକୁ ଅବଜ୍ଞା କର।
18 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚୋରକୁ ଦେଖ ଓ ତା'ସହ ଦୌଡ଼ିୟାଇ ମିଶିୟାଅ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ବ୍ଯଭିଚାରୀମାନେ ପାପ କରନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ନାଚି ଉଠ।
19 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସର୍ବଦା ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର ଓ ମିଥ୍ଯା କୁହ।
20 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରବଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ ଭାବରେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷଯରେ ମନ୍ଦ କଥା କୁହ, ଏପରିକି ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିଜ ଭ୍ରାତାମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷଯରେ ନିନ୍ଦା କରୁଅଛ।
21 ଅତୀତରେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କଲ। ମୁଁ ଚୁପ୍ ରହିଲି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭାବି ନଇେଛ ମୁଁ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରି। ମୁଁ ଆଉ ନୀରବରେ ରହିପାରିବି ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପରିଷ୍କାର କରି କହିଦେଉଛି, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ତିରସ୍କାର କରିବି।
22 ହେ ଲୋକମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଭୁଲି ୟାଇଛ। ତଣେୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଭଲଭାବେ ବୁଝିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ୟେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଖଣ୍ଡ ଖଣ୍ଡ କରି ଚିରିଦବେି। ୟଦି ତାହା ଘଟେ ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କୌଣସି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
23 ୟେକହେି ମାେତେ ଧନ୍ଯବାଦାର୍ଥକ ନବୈେଦ୍ଯ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରେ, ମାେତେ ସମ୍ମାନ ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶନ କରେ ଏବଂ ୟିଏ କହେି ସତ୍ମାର୍ଗରେ ଚାଲିବାକୁ ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି ନିଏ, ସେ ମାରେ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବାର ଶକ୍ତି ଦେଖିପାରିବ।
1 A Psalm of Asaph.
2 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
3 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
4 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
5 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
6 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
7 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
9 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
10 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
11 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
12 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
13 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
14 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
15 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
16 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
17 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
18 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
19 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
20 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
21 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
22 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
23 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
24 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
