కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 77
1 ౧ ప్రధాన సంగీతకారుని కోసం, యెదూతూను అనే రాగంలో పాడేది. ఆసాపు కీర్తన. నేను బిగ్గరగా దేవునికి మొరపెడతాను, నేను దేవుణ్ణి పిలుస్తాను, నా దేవుడు నా మాట వింటాడు.
I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
2 ౨ నా కష్ట సమయంలో నేను ప్రభువును వెతికాను. రాత్రంతా నేను నా చేతులెత్తి ప్రార్థించాను, నా ప్రాణం ఓదార్పు పొందడం లేదు.
Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
3 ౩ నా వేదనలో నేను దేవుణ్ణి గుర్తు చేసుకున్నాను, నీరసించిపోయి నేను ఆయన్ని గుర్తుకు తెచ్చుకున్నాను. (సెలా)
When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
[All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
6 ౬ ఒకప్పుడు నేను పాడిన పాట రాత్రివేళ గుర్తుకు తెచ్చుకున్నాను. నేను జాగ్రత్తగా నా హృదయంలో ఆలోచించాను. ఏం జరిగిందో అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికి ప్రయత్నించాను.
I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
“Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
[But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
[It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
19 ౧౯ సముద్రంలో నీ దారి వెళ్ళింది. ప్రవాహాల్లోగుండా నీ దారి మళ్ళింది. అయితే నీ కాలిముద్రలు కనబడలేదు.
[Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
