ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 102
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you.
2 ೨ ನನ್ನ ಕಷ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಮುಖನಾಗಬೇಡ; ನನ್ನ ಮೊರೆಗೆ ಕಿವಿಗೊಡು; ನಾನು ಕೂಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಗನೆ ಸದುತ್ತರವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸು.
Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burnt as a torch.
My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
8 ೮ ವೈರಿಗಳು ಹಗಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿಂದಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ; ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೋಪಾವೇಶವುಳ್ಳವರು ಯಾರನ್ನಾದರೂ ಶಪಿಸುವಾಗ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದೃಷ್ಟಾಂತಮಾಡಿ ಶಪಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
But you, LORD, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
So the nations will fear the LORD’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
For the LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,
19 ೧೯ “ಯೆಹೋವನು ತನ್ನ ಮಹೋನ್ನತವಾದ ಪವಿತ್ರಸ್ಥಾನದಿಂದ ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ನೋಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ಆತನು ಪರಲೋಕದಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ದೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
21 ೨೧ ಅವರು ಚೀಯೋನಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಯೆಹೋವನ ನಾಮವನ್ನು ವರ್ಣಿಸುವಂತೆಯೂ, ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಕೀರ್ತನೆಯನ್ನು ಹಾಡುವಂತೆಯೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
24 ೨೪ ನನ್ನ ಆಯುಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ, “ನನ್ನ ದೇವರೇ, ಅರ್ಧಾಯುಷ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಒಯ್ಯಬೇಡ; ನಿನ್ನ ವರ್ಷಗಳು ತಲತಲಾಂತರಕ್ಕೂ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ.
I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
26 ೨೬ ಅವು ನಾಶವಾಗುವವು; ಆದರೆ ನೀನು ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತಿ. ಅವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ವಸ್ತ್ರದಂತೆ ಹಳೆಯದಾಗುವವು. ಉಡುಪಿನಂತೆ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಬದಲಿಸುತ್ತಿ; ಅವು ಮಾರ್ಪಡುವವು.
They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
28 ೨೮ ನಿನ್ನ ಸೇವಕರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಬಾಳುವರು. ಅವರ ಸಂತತಿಯವರು ನಿನ್ನ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರುವರು” ಎಂದು ಮೊರೆಯಿಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
