కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 102
1 ౧ బాధితుడి ప్రార్థన, దుఃఖంలో సోలిపోయి యెహోవా సన్నిధిలో పెట్టిన మొర. యెహోవా, నా ప్రార్థన విను, నా మొర నీకు చేరనివ్వు.
A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to thee.
2 ౨ నా కష్టసమయాన నీ ముఖం నాకు దాచవద్దు. నా మాట విను. నేను నిన్ను పిలిచినప్పుడు వెంటనే నాకు జవాబివ్వు.
Turn not away thy face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline thine ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon thee, speedily hear me.
For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.
I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
8 ౮ రోజంతా నా విరోధులు నా మీద వ్యంగ్యంగా మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. నన్ను నిందించేవాళ్ళు నా పేరు ఎత్తి శపిస్తారు.
All the day long mine enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me.
For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping;
because of thine anger and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and dashed me down.
My days have declined like a shadow; and I am withered like grass.
But thou, Lord, endurest for ever, and thy memorial to generation and generation.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion: for [it is] time to have mercy upon her, for the set time is come.
For thy servants have taken pleasure in her stones, and they shall pity her dust.
So the nations shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all kings thy glory.
For the Lord shall build up Sion, and shall appear in his glory.
He has had regard to the prayer of the lowly, and has not despised their petition.
Let this be written for another generation; and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.
For he has looked out from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord looked upon the earth from heaven;
to hear the groaning of the fettered ones, to loosen the sons of the slain;
to proclaim the name of the Lord in Sion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
when the people are gathered together, and the kings, to serve the Lord.
He answered him in the way of his strength: tell me the fewness of my days.
Take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] through all generations.
In the beginning thou, O Lord, didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
26 ౨౬ అవి అంతరించిపోతాయి. కానీ నువ్వు నిలిచి ఉంటావు. అవన్నీ బట్టల్లాగా పాతవై పోతాయి. నువ్వు వాటిని దుస్తుల్లాగా మార్చి వేస్తావు. అవి ఇక కనబడవు.
They shall perish, but thou remainest: and [they all] shall wax old as a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them, and they shall be changed.
But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
The children of thy servants shall dwell [securely], and their seed shall prosper for ever.
