ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 58
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು; ಅಲ್ತಷ್ಖೇತೆಂಬ ರಾಗ; ದಾವೀದನ ಕಾವ್ಯ. ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳೇ, ನೀವು ಕೊಡುವ ತೀರ್ಪುಗಳು ನೀತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿವೆಯೋ? ಜನರ ವ್ಯಾಜ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಯುತವಾಗಿ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುತ್ತಿರೋ?
TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Is it true, O silent one, that you speak righteously? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
9 ೯ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹಸಿರಿರುರುವಾಗಲೇ ಒಲೆಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದ ಮುಳ್ಳಿನ ಕೊಂಪೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಹಾರಿಸಿಬಿಡುವಂತೆ ದೇವರ ಉಗ್ರಕೋಪವು ಅವರನ್ನು ನಿಶ್ಶೇಷಮಾಡಲಿ.
Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.
And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
