కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 42
1 ౧ ప్రధాన సంగీతకారుడి కోసం, కోరహు వారసుల దైవ ధ్యానం. జింక సెలయేళ్ల కోసం దాహం గొన్నట్టుగా దేవా, నా హృదయం నీ కోసం తపించిపోతోంది.
൧സംഗീതപ്രമാണിക്ക്; കോരഹ് പുത്രന്മാരുടെ ഒരു ധ്യാനം. മാൻ നീർത്തോടുകളിലേക്ക് ചെല്ലുവാൻ കാംക്ഷിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ ദൈവമേ, എന്റെ ആത്മാവ് നിന്നോട് ചേരുവാൻ കാംക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.
2 ౨ నా ప్రాణం దేవుని కోసం, సజీవుడైన దేవుని కోసం తీవ్రమైన దాహంతో ఉంది. దేవుని సమక్షంలోకి నేను ఎప్పుడు వస్తాను? ఆయన సమక్షంలో నేను ఎప్పుడు కనిపిస్తాను?
൨എന്റെ ആത്മാവ് ദൈവത്തിനായി, ജീവനുള്ള ദൈവത്തിനായി തന്നെ, ദാഹിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ എപ്പോൾ ദൈവസന്നിധിയിൽ ചെല്ലുവാനിടയാകും?
3 ౩ నా శత్రువులు ప్రతినిత్యం నీ దేవుడు ఎక్కడ ఉన్నాడు? అంటుంటే నా కన్నీళ్ళే రేయింబవళ్ళు నాకు ఆహారమయ్యాయి.
൩“നിന്റെ ദൈവം എവിടെ?” എന്ന് അവർ എന്നോട് നിരന്തരം ചോദിക്കുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് എന്റെ കണ്ണുനീർ രാവും പകലും എനിക്ക് ആഹാരമായി തീർന്നിരിക്കുന്നു.
4 ౪ జన సమూహంతో కలసి వాళ్ళని దేవుని మందిరానికి తీసుకు వెళ్ళిన సంగతినీ, వాళ్ళతో కలసి సంతోష గానంతో, స్తుతులతో పండగ చేసుకున్న సంగతినీ జ్ఞాపకం చేసుకుంటుంటే నా ప్రాణం కరిగి నీరైపోతున్నది.
൪ഉത്സവം ആചരിക്കുന്ന ജനസമൂഹത്തോടൊപ്പം സന്തോഷത്തോടും ഉച്ചത്തിൽ ദൈവത്തെ സ്തുതിച്ചും ഞാൻ ദൈവാലയത്തിലേക്ക് പോകുന്നത് ഓർക്കുമ്പോൾ എന്റെ ഹൃദയം തരളിതമാകുന്നു.
5 ౫ నా ప్రాణమా, నువ్వు ఎందుకు నిరుత్సాహంగా ఉన్నావు? అంతరంగంలో నువ్వు ఎందుకు ఆందోళన పడుతున్నావు? దేవునిలో నమ్మకం ఉంచు. ఆయన సన్నిధి సహాయం కోసం నేను ఆయన్ని స్తుతిస్తాను.
൫എന്റെ ആത്മാവേ, നീ വിഷാദിച്ച് ഞരങ്ങുന്നതെന്തിന്? ദൈവത്തിൽ പ്രത്യാശ വെക്കുക; കർത്താവ് എന്റെ മേൽ മുഖം പ്രകാശിപ്പിച്ച് രക്ഷിക്കുന്ന ദൈവവുമാകുന്നു എന്ന് ഞാൻ ഇനിയും അവിടുത്തെ സ്തുതിക്കും.
6 ౬ నా దేవా, నా హృదయం నాలో నిరుత్సాహంగా ఉంది. కాబట్టి యొర్దాను ప్రదేశం నుండీ హెర్మోను పర్వతం నుండీ మిసారు కొండ నుండీ నేను నిన్ను జ్ఞాపకం చేసుకుంటున్నాను.
൬എന്റെ ദൈവമേ, എന്റെ ആത്മാവ് എന്റെ ഉള്ളിൽ വിഷാദിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അതുകൊണ്ട് യോർദ്ദാൻ പ്രദേശത്തും ഹെർമ്മോൻപർവ്വതങ്ങളിലും മിസാർമലയിലുംവച്ച് ഞാൻ അവിടുത്തെ ഓർക്കുന്നു;
൭അങ്ങയുടെ വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടങ്ങളുടെ ഇരമ്പലിൽ ആഴി ആഴത്തെ വിളിക്കുന്നു; അവിടുത്തെ ഓളങ്ങളും തിരമാലകളുമെല്ലാം എന്റെ മുകളിലൂടെ കടന്നുപോകുന്നു.
8 ౮ అయినా పగటివేళ యెహోవా తన నిబంధన కృప కలగాలని ఆజ్ఞాపిస్తాడు. రాత్రిపూట ఆయనను గూర్చిన గీతం నాతో ఉంటుంది. నా జీవానికి దేవుడైన యెహోవా ప్రార్థన నాతో ఉంటుంది.
൮യഹോവ പകൽനേരത്ത് തന്റെ ദയ കാണിക്കും; രാത്രിസമയത്ത് ഞാൻ അവന് പാട്ട് പാടിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കും; എന്റെ ജീവന്റെ ദൈവത്തോടുള്ള പ്രാർത്ഥന തന്നെ.
9 ౯ నా ఆశ్రయశిల అయిన దేవునితో ఇలా అంటాను. నువ్వు నన్నెందుకు మర్చిపోయావు? శత్రువు నన్ను అణగదొక్కుతూ ఉంటే నేను రోదిస్తూ ఎందుకు తిరగాలి?
൯“അങ്ങ് എന്നെ മറന്നത് എന്തുകൊണ്ട്? ശത്രുവിന്റെ ഉപദ്രവത്താൽ ഞാൻ ദുഃഖിച്ച് നടക്കേണ്ടി വന്നത് എന്തുകൊണ്ട്?” എന്ന് ഞാൻ എന്റെ പാറയായ ദൈവത്തോട് ചോദിക്കും.
10 ౧౦ నీ దేవుడు ఏమయ్యాడని నా శత్రువులు నన్ను ప్రశ్నిస్తూ ఉంటే అది నా ఎముకల్లో బాకులాగా గుచ్చుకుంటుంది.
൧൦“നിന്റെ ദൈവം എവിടെ?” എന്ന് എന്റെ ശത്രുക്കൾ ഇടവിടാതെ എന്നോട് ചോദിച്ചു കൊണ്ട് എന്റെ അസ്ഥികൾ തകരും വിധം എന്നെ നിന്ദിക്കുന്നു.
11 ౧౧ నా ప్రాణమా, నువ్వు ఎందుకు నిరుత్సాహంగా ఉన్నావు? అంతరంగంలో నువ్వు ఎందుకు ఆందోళనపడుతున్నావు? దేవునిలో నమ్మకం ఉంచు. ఆయన సన్నిధి సహాయం కోసం నేను ఆయన్ని స్తుతిస్తాను.
൧൧എന്റെ ആത്മാവേ, നീ വിഷാദിച്ച് ഞരങ്ങുന്നത് എന്തിന്? ദൈവത്തിൽ പ്രത്യാശവക്കുക; അവിടുന്ന് തന്റെ മുഖപ്രകാശത്താൽ എന്നെ രക്ഷിക്കുന്ന ദൈവവുമാകുന്നു എന്ന് ഞാൻ ഇനിയും അവിടുത്തെ സ്തുതിക്കും.
