ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 69
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು. ಶೋಶನ್ನೀಮೆಂಬ ರಾಗದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹಾಡತಕ್ಕದ್ದು; ದಾವೀದನ ಕೀರ್ತನೆ. ದೇವರೇ, ರಕ್ಷಿಸು; ಜಲವು ನನ್ನ ಕುತ್ತಿಗೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಏರಿಬಂದಿದೆ.
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 ೨ ಆಳವಾದ ಕೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಸಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ನೆಲೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಜಲರಾಶಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಮುಳುಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಪ್ರವಾಹವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 ೩ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಬೇಸತ್ತು ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಗಂಟಲು ಒಣಗಿಹೋಯಿತು. ನನ್ನ ದೇವರನ್ನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಕ್ಷೀಣಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
4 ೪ ನಿಷ್ಕಾರಣ ದ್ವೇಷಿಗಳು ನನ್ನ ತಲೆಗೂದಲುಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ; ನಿರಾಕಾರಣವಾಗಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುಗಿಸಿಬಿಡಬೇಕೆಂದಿರುವ ವೈರಿಗಳು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಾನು ಅಪಹರಿಸದಿದ್ದರೂ ನನ್ನಿಂದ ದಂಡ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡರಲ್ಲಾ.
Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
6 ೬ ಸೇನಾಧೀಶ್ವರನೇ, ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನಂಬಿದವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನಿಂದ ನಿರಾಶೆಯಾಗದಿರಲಿ; ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರ ದೇವರೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ಬಯಸುವವರು ನನ್ನಿಂದ ಅಪಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗದಿರಲಿ.
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 ೧೨ ಊರ ಬಾಗಿಲಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರ ಆಡು ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕುಡುಕರು ನನ್ನ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿ ಪರಿಹಾಸ್ಯ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 ೧೩ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಾನಾದರೋ ನಿನಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಇದು ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನತೆಗೆ ಸಕಾಲ. ಪ್ರೇಮಪೂರ್ಣನಾದ ದೇವನೇ, ಸತ್ಯವಂತನಾದ ರಕ್ಷಕನೇ, ಸದುತ್ತರವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸು.
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 ೧೫ ಪ್ರವಾಹವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಡಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗದಿರಲಿ; ಅಗಾಧವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಒಳಗೆ ಎಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳದಿರಲಿ; ಪಾತಾಳವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನುಂಗದಿರಲಿ.
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
16 ೧೬ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನನ್ನ ಮೊರೆಯನ್ನು ಲಾಲಿಸು; ನಿನ್ನ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಶುಭಕರವಾಗಿದೆಯಲ್ಲಾ. ಕರುಣಾನಿಧಿಯೇ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಟಾಕ್ಷಿಸು.
O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
20 ೨೦ ನಿಂದೆಯಿಂದ ನಿರಾಶೆಗೊಂಡು ಕುಂದಿಹೋಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕರುಣಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದೆ; ದೊರೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಂತೈಸುವವರನ್ನು ಹಾರೈಸಿದೆ; ಸಿಕ್ಕಲಿಲ್ಲ.
[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
[Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
35 ೩೫ ದೇವರು ಚೀಯೋನ್ ಪಟ್ಟಣವನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿ, ಯೆಹೂದ ದೇಶದ ನಗರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿಸುವನು; ಆತನ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ವದೇಶವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವರು.
God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
