ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 18
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು. ಯೆಹೋವನ ಸೇವಕನಾದ ದಾವೀದನು ಸೌಲನಿಂದಲೂ, ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಶತ್ರುಗಳ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೂ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಾಗ ಯೆಹೋವನ ಘನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಈ ಪದ್ಯವನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಿ ಹೇಳಿದನು. ನನ್ನ ಬಲವಾಗಿರುವ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಮಮತೆಯಿಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, LORD, my strength.
2 ೨ ಯೆಹೋವನು ನನ್ನ ಬಂಡೆಯು, ನನ್ನ ಕೋಟೆಯು, ನನ್ನ ವಿಮೋಚಕನು, ನನ್ನ ದೇವರು, ನನ್ನ ಆಶ್ರಯಗಿರಿಯು, ನನ್ನ ಗುರಾಣಿಯು, ನನ್ನ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯ ಕೊಂಬು ಮತ್ತು ನನ್ನ ದುರ್ಗವು ಆಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me. (Sheol h7585)
6 ೬ ಅಂಥ ಕಷ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಯೆಹೋವನಿಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟೆನು; ನನ್ನ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿದೆನು. ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಮಂದಿರದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಶಬ್ದವನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದನು; ನನ್ನ ಕೂಗು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಕೇಳಿಸಿತು.
In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8 ೮ ಆತನ ಮೂಗಿನಿಂದ ಹೊಗೆಯು ಎದ್ದು; ಆತನ ಬಾಯಿಂದ ಅಗ್ನಿಜ್ವಾಲೆ ಹೊರಟು, ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ದಹಿಸಿ ಕೆಂಡವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿತು.
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 ೧೨ ಆತನ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾಶದಿಂದ ಕಲ್ಮಳೆಯೂ, ಉರಿಗೆಂಡಗಳೂ ಹೊರಟು, ಆತನ ಸುತ್ತಲಿದ್ದ ಕಪ್ಪು ಮೋಡಗಳನ್ನು ದಾಟಿ ಸುರಿದವು.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
15 ೧೫ ಆಗ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಗದರಿಕೆಯಿಂದಲೂ, ನಿನ್ನ ಶ್ವಾಸಭರದಿಂದಲೂ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ತಳವು ಕಾಣಿಸಿತು. ಭೂಮಂಡಲದ ಅಸ್ತಿವಾರಗಳು ಕಂಡುಬಂದವು.
Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 ೨೦ ಯೆಹೋವನು ನನ್ನ ನೀತಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮೇಲನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು, ನನ್ನ ಕೈಗಳ ಶುದ್ಧತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಪ್ರತಿಫಲವನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 ೨೨ ನಾನು ಆತನ ನೀತಿಯ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನು ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ನನ್ನ ಎದುರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡೆನು; ಆತನ ವಿಧಿಗಳನ್ನು ಅಲಕ್ಷ್ಯಮಾಡಲೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
28 ೨೮ ನೀನೇ ನನ್ನ ದೀಪವನ್ನು ಹೊತ್ತಿಸುವವನಲ್ಲವೇ; ನನ್ನ ದೇವರಾದ ಯೆಹೋವನು ನನಗೆ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಕತ್ತಲನ್ನು ಪರಿಹರಿಸುವವನು.
For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
30 ೩೦ ದೇವರ ಮಾರ್ಗವು ಯಾವ ದೋಷವೂ ಇಲ್ಲದ್ದು; ಯೆಹೋವನ ವಚನವು ಶುದ್ಧವಾದದ್ದು. ಆತನು ಆಶ್ರಿತರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ಗುರಾಣಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 ೩೫ ನೀನೇ ನನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಗುರಾಣಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿದ್ದೀ. ನಿನ್ನ ಬಲಗೈ ನನಗೆ ಆಧಾರ; ನಿನ್ನ ಕೃಪಾಕಟಾಕ್ಷವು ನನಗೆ ದೊಡ್ಡಸ್ತಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡಿದೆ.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
39 ೩೯ ನೀನು ನನಗೆ ಯುದ್ಧಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಶೌರ್ಯವೆಂಬ ನಡುಕಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಬಿಗಿದಿದ್ದೀ; ಎದುರಾಳಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕುಗ್ಗಿಸಿ ನನಗೆ ಅಧೀನಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀ.
For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
42 ೪೨ ಗಾಳಿಯಿಂದ ಬಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಧೂಳನ್ನೋ ಎಂಬಂತೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ಪುಡಿಪುಡಿಮಾಡಿದೆನು. ಬೀದಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಕೆಸರನ್ನೋ ಎಂಬಂತೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ಎಸೆದುಬಿಟ್ಟೆನು.
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 ೪೩ ಜನರ ಕಲಹಗಳಿಗೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿ ಜನಾಂಗಗಳಿಗೆ ದೊರೆಯಾಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀ; ನಾನರಿಯದ ಜನಾಂಗದವರು ಸಹ ನನಗೆ ಅಧೀನರಾಗುವರು.
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 ೪೮ ಶತ್ರುಗಳಿಂದ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಿಡಿಸುವಾತನೇ, ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಎದುರಾಳಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿ ಉನ್ನತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತೀ; ಬಲಾತ್ಕಾರಿಗಳಿಂದ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೀ.
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
50 ೫೦ ಆತನು ತಾನು ನೇಮಿಸಿದ ಅರಸನಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ವಿಶೇಷ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ತಾನು ಅಭಿಷೇಕಿಸಿದ ದಾವೀದನಿಗೂ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ಸಂತತಿಯವರಿಗೂ ಸದಾಕಾಲ ಕೃಪೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಗ್ರಹಿಸುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
