ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 58
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು; ಅಲ್ತಷ್ಖೇತೆಂಬ ರಾಗ; ದಾವೀದನ ಕಾವ್ಯ. ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳೇ, ನೀವು ಕೊಡುವ ತೀರ್ಪುಗಳು ನೀತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿವೆಯೋ? ಜನರ ವ್ಯಾಜ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಯುತವಾಗಿ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುತ್ತಿರೋ?
“To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
Let them melt away as water [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if cut in pieces.
As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen the sun.
9 ೯ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹಸಿರಿರುರುವಾಗಲೇ ಒಲೆಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದ ಮುಳ್ಳಿನ ಕೊಂಪೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಹಾರಿಸಿಬಿಡುವಂತೆ ದೇವರ ಉಗ್ರಕೋಪವು ಅವರನ್ನು ನಿಶ್ಶೇಷಮಾಡಲಿ.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
