സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 39
1 യെദൂഥൂൻ എന്ന സംഗീതസംവിധായകന്. ദാവീദിന്റെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം. “എന്റെ വഴികളെ ഞാൻ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുമെന്നും എന്റെ നാവിനെ പാപംചെയ്യാതെ കാത്തുകൊള്ളുമെന്നും; ദുഷ്ടർ എന്റെ മുമ്പിലുള്ളേടത്തോളം ഞാൻ എന്റെ വായ് കടിഞ്ഞാണിട്ടു സൂക്ഷിക്കും,” എന്നും ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞു.
౧ప్రధాన సంగీతకారుడు యెదూతూను కోసం. దావీదు కీర్తన ఇది నా నిర్ణయం, నా నాలుకతో పాపం చేయకుండా ఉండటానికి నా మాటలను జాగ్రత్తగా చూసుకుంటాను. దుర్మార్గుడి దగ్గర నా నోటికి కళ్ళెం పెట్టుకుంటాను.
2 അതുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ പരിപൂർണനിശ്ശബ്ദതയോടെയിരുന്നു, നന്മയായതുപോലും ഉച്ചരിക്കാതിരുന്നു. അപ്പോൾ എന്റെ ആകുലതകൾ അധികരിച്ചു;
౨నేను మౌనంగా ఉన్నాను. మంచి సంగతులను కూడా పలకకుండా ఉన్నాను. నా వేదన అధికమైంది.
3 എന്റെ ഹൃദയമെന്നുള്ളിൽ ചൂടുപിടിച്ചു എന്റെ ധ്യാനത്തിങ്കൽ തീ കത്തി; അപ്പോൾ എന്റെ നാവുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ സംസാരിച്ചു:
౩నా గుండె నాలో రగులుతూ ఉంది. ఈ విషయాలను గూర్చి నేను ఆలోచిస్తూ ఉంటే అది ఇంకా అగ్నిలా మండుతున్నది. చివరకు నేను ఇలా అన్నాను.
4 “യഹോവേ, എന്റെ ജീവിതാന്ത്യവും എന്റെ ആയുർദൈർഘ്യവും എനിക്കു കാട്ടിത്തന്നാലും; എന്റെ ജീവിതം എത്ര ക്ഷണഭംഗുരം എന്നു ഞാൻ അറിയട്ടെ.
౪యెహోవా, నా జీవితం ఎప్పుడు అంతమౌతుందో నాకు తెలియజెయ్యి. నా జీవితంలో ఇంకా ఎన్ని రోజులు మిగిలి ఉన్నాయో తెలియజెయ్యి. నా జీవితం ఎంత క్షణ భంగురమో నేను తెలుసుకునేలా చెయ్యి.
5 എന്റെ ദിനങ്ങൾ അവിടന്ന് കേവലം നാലുവിരൽ ദൈർഘ്യം മാത്രമാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്റെ ആയുഷ്കാലം തിരുമുമ്പിൽ ഏതുമില്ലാത്തതുപോലെയിരിക്കുന്നു. മാനവജീവിതം കേവലമൊരു നിശ്വാസംമാത്രം, ഏറ്റവും സുരക്ഷിതരെന്നു കരുതുന്നവർക്കുപോലും. (സേലാ)
౫ఇదిగో, నువ్వు నా జీవితంలో రోజులను ఒక బెత్తెడంతగా చేశావు. నా జీవితకాలం నీ ఎదుట అసలు లేనట్టే ఉంది. ప్రతి మనిషీ నిశ్చయంగా కేవలం ఊపిరిలాగా ఉన్నాడు. (సెలా)
6 “മനുഷ്യർ വെറും ഒരു നിഴൽപോലെ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു; അവർ വ്യർഥമായി തിടുക്കത്തിൽ ധനം കൂട്ടിവെക്കുന്നു ആർ അത് അനുഭവിക്കുമെന്ന് അവർ അറിയുന്നില്ല.
౬నిశ్చయంగా ప్రతి మనిషీ నీడలా తిరుగుతూ ఉంటాడు. నిస్సందేహంగా మనుషులు సంపదలు సమకూర్చుకోవడానికి త్వరపడుతూ ఉంటారు, అవన్నీ చివరగా ఎవరికి దక్కుతాయో తెలియకపోయినా సరే.
7 “എന്നാൽ കർത്താവേ, ഞാനിപ്പോൾ എന്തിനായി കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നു? എന്റെ പ്രത്യാശ അങ്ങയിലാകുന്നു.
౭ప్రభూ, ఇప్పుడు నేను దేని కోసం వేచి ఉన్నాను? నాకున్న ఆధారం నువ్వే.
8 എന്റെ എല്ലാ അകൃത്യങ്ങളിൽനിന്നും എന്നെ മോചിപ്പിക്കണമേ; ഭോഷരുടെ പരിഹാസവിഷയമാക്കി എന്നെ മാറ്റരുതേ.
౮నా పాపాలన్నిటిపైనా నాకు విజయం దయచెయ్యి. మూర్ఖులు అవమానించడానికి లక్ష్యంగా నన్ను చేయవద్దు.
9 ഞാൻ വായ് തുറക്കാതെ മൗനമായിരുന്നു, കാരണം അവിടന്നാണല്ലോ ഇങ്ങനെയെല്ലാം ചെയ്തത്.
౯ఇదంతా నువ్వే జరిగించావు. నేను నోరు తెరవకుండా మౌనంగా ఉన్నాను.
10 അവിടത്തെ ശിക്ഷാദണ്ഡ് എന്നിൽനിന്നു നീക്കണമേ; അവിടത്തെ കൈകളുടെ പ്രഹരത്താൽ ഞാൻ ക്ഷയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౦నన్ను గాయపరచడం ఇక ఆపు. నీ చేతి దెబ్బ నన్ను అణచివేస్తుంది.
11 മനുഷ്യരെ അവരുടെ പാപംഹേതുവായി അവിടന്ന് ശാസിക്കുകയും ശിക്ഷിക്കുകയുംചെയ്യുന്നു, ഒരു പുഴു തിന്നുതീർക്കുമ്പോലെ അവിടന്ന് അവരുടെ സമ്പത്ത് ഇല്ലാതെയാക്കുന്നു— നാമെല്ലാവരും ഒരു നിശ്വാസംമാത്രമാകുന്നു, നിശ്ചയം. (സേലാ)
౧౧పాపం కారణంగా నువ్వు మనుషులను శిక్షించినప్పుడు చెద పురుగులా వారి శక్తిని నువ్వు హరిస్తావు. నిశ్చయంగా మనుషులందరూ ఆవిరిలాంటి వాళ్ళు. (సెలా)
12 “യഹോവേ, എന്റെ പ്രാർഥന കേൾക്കണമേ, സഹായത്തിനായുള്ള എന്റെ നിലവിളി ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണമേ; എന്റെ കരച്ചിൽകേട്ട് മൗനമായിരിക്കരുതേ. ഒരു പ്രവാസിയെപ്പോലെ ഞാൻ തിരുമുമ്പിൽ ജീവിക്കുന്നു, എന്റെ സകലപൂർവികരെയുംപോലെ ഒരു അപരിചിതനായി ഞാൻ കഴിയുന്നു.
౧౨యెహోవా, నా ప్రార్థన విను. నేను చెప్పేది విను. నా రోదనను పట్టించుకో. చెవిటివాడిలాగా ఉండకు. నీ ఎదుట నేను పరదేశిలా ఉన్నాను. నా పూర్వీకులందరిలాగ శరణార్ధిలాగా ఉన్నాను.
13 ഞാൻ മറഞ്ഞ് ഇല്ലാതെയാകുംമുമ്പ് വീണ്ടും ആനന്ദിക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവിടത്തെ (ക്രോധത്തിന്റെ) ദൃഷ്ടി എന്നിൽനിന്നും അകറ്റണമേ.”
౧౩నేను చనిపోయేముందు నేను సంతోషించేలా నా నుంచి నీ కోపపు చూపులు చాలించుకో.
