ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 109
For the end, a Psalm of David. For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;
for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.
And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.
And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 ૬ મારા શત્રુનો સામનો કરવા માટે એક દુષ્ટ માણસને નિયુક્ત કરો; તેને જમણે હાથે કોઈ અપ્રામાણિકને ઊભો રાખો.
Set thou a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.
Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.
Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.
Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.
Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.
Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.
16 ૧૬ કારણ કે તેણે બીજાઓ પ્રત્યે દયા કરવાનું ચાહ્યું નહિ, પણ નિરુત્સાહીની હત્યા કરવા માટે અને ગરીબ તથા જરૂરતમંદને સતાવ્યા.
Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart.
17 ૧૭ બીજાઓને શાપ આપવામાં તે ખુશ હતો; માટે એ શાપ તેને લાગો. તે આશીર્વાદને ધિક્કારતો; તેથી તેના પર કોઈ આશીર્વાદ ન આવો.
He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.
18 ૧૮ તેણે વસ્ત્રની જેમ પોતાના શરીર પર શાપ ધારણ કર્યો હતો અને તેનો શાપ પાણીની માફક તેના અંતઃકરણમાં તેના હાડકામાં તેલની જેમ પ્રસરી જતો હતો.
Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.
Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.
This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 ૨૧ હે યહોવાહ, મારા પ્રભુ, તમે તમારા નામની ખાતર મારા માટે લડો. કેમ કે તમારી કૃપા ઉત્તમ છે, મારો બચાવ કરો.
But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for thy name's sake: for thy mercy is good.
Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.
I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.
My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the want of] oil.
25 ૨૫ હું સર્વ માણસો માટે નિષ્ફળતાનું પ્રતીક બન્યો છું; જ્યારે તેઓ મને જુએ છે, ત્યારે તેઓ પોતાના માથાં હલાવે છે.
I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.
Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to thy mercy.
And let them know that this is thy hand; and [that] thou, Lord, hast wrought it.
28 ૨૮ જો તેઓ મને શાપ આપે, તો કૃપા કરી તેમને આશીર્વાદ આપજો; જ્યારે તેઓ હુમલો કરે, ત્યારે તેઓ શરમાઈ જાઓ, પણ તમારો સેવક આનંદ કરે.
Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoice.
Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.
31 ૩૧ કારણ કે દરિદ્રીના આત્માને અપરાધી ઠરાવનારાઓથી ઉદ્ધાર આપવાને માટે યહોવાહ તેને જમણે હાથે ઊભા રહેશે.
For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
