സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 81
1 സംഗീതസംവിധായകന്. ഗഥ്യരാഗത്തിൽ. ആസാഫിന്റെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം. നമ്മുടെ ബലമായ ദൈവത്തിന് ആനന്ദഗീതമാലപിക്കുക; യാക്കോബിന്റെ ദൈവത്തിന് ആർപ്പിടുക!
౧ప్రధాన సంగీతకారుని కోసం, గిత్తీతు రాగంతో పాడేది. ఆసాపు కీర్తన. మనకు బలం అయిన దేవునికి బిగ్గరగా పాడండి, యాకోబు దేవునికి ఉత్సాహంగా కేకలు వేయండి.
2 തപ്പുകൊട്ടിയും ഇമ്പസ്വരമുള്ള കിന്നരവും വീണയും വായിച്ചും സംഗീതം തുടങ്ങുക.
౨పాట పాడి, కంజరి వాయించండి, మధురంగా తీగ వాయిద్యాలు వాయించండి.
3 അമാവാസിയിലും പൗർണമിനാളിലുമുള്ള നമ്മുടെ ഉത്സവദിനങ്ങളിലും കോലാട്ടിൻകൊമ്പിനാൽ തീർത്ത കാഹളം മുഴക്കുക;
౩అమావాస్య రోజు, మన పండగ మొదలయ్యే పౌర్ణమి రోజు కొమ్ము ఊదండి.
4 ഇത് അവിടന്ന് ഇസ്രായേലിനു നൽകിയ ഉത്തരവും യാക്കോബിൻ ദൈവത്തിനൊരു അനുഷ്ഠാനവും ആകുന്നു.
౪అది ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు చట్టం. యాకోబు దేవుడు నిర్ణయించిన కట్టడ.
5 ദൈവം ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെതിരേ പുറപ്പെട്ടപ്പോൾ, അവിടന്ന് ഇത് ഒരു നിയമമായി യോസേഫിന് സ്ഥാപിച്ചുകൊടുത്തു. അവിടെ ഞാൻ അപരിചിതമായ ഒരു ശബ്ദം കേട്ടു, അത് ഇപ്രകാരമായിരുന്നു:
౫ఆయన ఈజిప్టు దేశం మీదికి దండెత్తినప్పుడు యోసేపు సంతతికి దీన్ని శాసనంగా నియమించాడు. అక్కడ నేనెరగని భాష విన్నాను.
6 “അവരുടെ തോളുകളിൽനിന്ന് ഞാൻ ഭാരമിറക്കിവെച്ചു; അവരുടെ കരങ്ങൾ കുട്ടകൾ വിട്ട് സ്വതന്ത്രമായിത്തീർന്നു.
౬వారి భుజాల నుంచి నేను బరువు దించాను, వారి చేతులు మోతగంపలు మోయకుండా విడుదల పొందాయి.
7 നിങ്ങളുടെ ദുരിതത്തിൽ നിങ്ങൾ നിലവിളിച്ചു, ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ മോചിപ്പിച്ചു, ഇടിമുഴക്കത്തിൽനിന്ന് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഉത്തരമരുളി; മെരീബയിലെ ജലാശയത്തിനരികെവെച്ച് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ പരീക്ഷിച്ചു. (സേലാ)
౭నీ ఆపదలో నువ్వు మొరపెట్టావు. నేను నిన్ను విడిపించాను. ఉరిమే మబ్బుల్లోనుంచి నీకు జవాబిచ్చాను. మెరీబా నీళ్ళ దగ్గర నీకు పరీక్ష పెట్టాను. (సెలా)
8 എന്റെ ജനമേ, ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുക, ഞാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്കു മുന്നറിയിപ്പുനൽകുന്നു— ഇസ്രായേലേ, നിങ്ങൾ എന്റെ വാക്ക് കേട്ടെങ്കിൽ കൊള്ളാമായിരുന്നു!
౮నా ప్రజలారా, వినండి. ఎందుకంటే నేను మిమ్మల్ని హెచ్చరిస్తాను. అయ్యో ఇశ్రాయేలూ, నువ్వు నా మాట వింటే ఎంత బాగుండేది!
9 നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയിൽ അന്യദേവൻ ഉണ്ടാകരുത്; ഒരു അന്യദേവന്റെയും മുമ്പാകെ നിങ്ങൾ വണങ്ങരുത്.
౯ఇతర దేవుళ్ళు ఎవరూ మీ మధ్య ఉండకూడదు, వేరే దేవుళ్ళలో ఎవరినీ నువ్వు పూజించకూడదు.
10 നിങ്ങളെ ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽനിന്ന് കൊണ്ടുവന്ന നിങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ഞാൻ ആകുന്നു. നിങ്ങളുടെ വായ് വിസ്താരത്തിൽ തുറക്കുക; ഞാൻ അതു നിറയ്ക്കും.
౧౦నేనే మీ దేవుణ్ణి, యెహోవాను. ఈజిప్టు దేశంనుంచి మిమ్మల్ని తెచ్చింది నేనే. నీ నోరు బాగా తెరువు. నేను దాన్ని నింపుతాను.
11 “എന്നാൽ എന്റെ ജനം ഞാൻ പറയുന്നത് ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുന്നില്ല; ഇസ്രായേൽ എനിക്കു കീഴടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.
౧౧అయితే నా ప్రజలు నా మాట వినలేదు, ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు నాకు లోబడలేదు.
12 അവർ അവരുടേതായ പദ്ധതികൾക്കനുസൃതമായി ജീവിക്കുന്നതിന് ഞാൻ അവരെ ഹൃദയകാഠിന്യത്തിന് ഏൽപ്പിച്ചു.
౧౨కాబట్టి వాళ్ళు తమ సొంత ఉద్దేశాలను అనుసరించనిచ్చాను. వారి హృదయకాఠిన్యానికి నేను వారిని అప్పగించాను.
13 “എന്റെ ജനം എന്റെ വാക്ക് കേട്ടിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ, ഇസ്രായേൽ എന്റെ വഴികളിൽ നടന്നിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ,
౧౩అయ్యో, నా ప్రజలు నా మాట వింటే ఎంత బాగుండేది! నా ప్రజలు నా విధానాలు అనుసరిస్తే ఎంత బాగుండేది!
14 ഞാൻ അവരുടെ ശത്രുക്കളെ അതിവേഗം കീഴടക്കുമായിരുന്നു! എന്റെ കൈ അവരുടെ വൈരികൾക്കെതിരേ തിരിക്കുമായിരുന്നു!
౧౪అప్పుడు నేను త్వరగా వారి శత్రువులను అణిచి వేసేవాణ్ణి. వాళ్ళను అణిచి వేసేవారి మీదికి నా చెయ్యి ఎత్తుతాను.
15 യഹോവയെ വെറുക്കുന്നവർ അവിടത്തെ കാൽക്കൽവീണു കെഞ്ചുമായിരുന്നു, അവരുടെ ശിക്ഷ എന്നെന്നേക്കും നിലനിൽക്കുമായിരുന്നു.
౧౫యెహోవాను ద్వేషించేవాళ్ళు ఆయనకు భయంతో వినయంగా ఆయన ఎదుట ప్రణమిల్లుతారు. వాళ్ళు శాశ్వతంగా అవమానానికి గురి అవుతారు గాక!
16 എന്നാൽ ഏറ്റവും മേൽത്തരമായ ഗോതമ്പുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ പരിപോഷിപ്പിക്കുമായിരുന്നു; പാറയിൽനിന്നുള്ള തേൻകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ തൃപ്തരാക്കുമായിരുന്നു.”
౧౬అతిశ్రేష్ఠమైన గోదుమలతో నేను ఇశ్రాయేలును పోషిస్తాను, కొండ తేనెతో నిన్ను తృప్తిపరుస్తాను.
