< కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 79 >
1 ౧ ఆసాపు కీర్తన దేవా, విదేశీయులు నీ వారసత్వ భూమిలోకి వచ్చేశారు, వాళ్ళు నీ పవిత్రాలయాన్ని అపవిత్రపరచారు. యెరూషలేమును రాళ్ళ కుప్పగా మార్చివేశారు.
൧ആസാഫിന്റെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം. ദൈവമേ, ജനതതികൾ അങ്ങയുടെ അവകാശത്തിലേക്ക് കടന്നിരിക്കുന്നു; അവർ അങ്ങയുടെ വിശുദ്ധമന്ദിരത്തെ അശുദ്ധമാക്കുകയും യെരൂശലേമിനെ കൽകുന്നുകളാക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
2 ౨ వాళ్ళు నీ సేవకుల శవాలను రాబందులకు ఆహారంగా, నీ భక్తుల మృత దేహాలను అడవి జంతువులకు ఆహారంగా పడేశారు.
൨അവർ അങ്ങയുടെ ദാസന്മാരുടെ ശവങ്ങളെ ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികൾക്കും അങ്ങയുടെ വിശുദ്ധന്മാരുടെ മാംസത്തെ കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ഭക്ഷണമായി കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
3 ౩ నీళ్లలాగా వారి రక్తాన్ని యెరూషలేము చుట్టూ పారబోశారు. వాళ్ళను పాతిపెట్టేవారు ఎవరూ లేరు.
൩അവരുടെ രക്തം വെള്ളംപോലെ അവർ യെരൂശലേമിന് ചുറ്റും ചിന്തിക്കളഞ്ഞു; അവരെ കുഴിച്ചിടുവാൻ ആരും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.
4 ౪ మా పొరుగు వారికి మేము ఎగతాళి అయ్యాం. మా చుట్టుపక్కల వాళ్ళు మమ్మల్ని వెక్కిరించి అపహసిస్తారు.
൪ഞങ്ങൾ ഞങ്ങളുടെ അയല്ക്കാർക്ക് അപമാനവും ചുറ്റുമുള്ളവർക്ക് നിന്ദയും പരിഹാസവും ആയി തീർന്നിരിക്കുന്നു.
5 ౫ యెహోవా, ఎంతకాలం నీకు మా మీద కోపం? నీ కోపం శాశ్వతంగా ఉంటుందా? నీ రోషం ఎంతకాలం మంటలాగా మండుతూ ఉంటుంది?
൫യഹോവേ, അവിടുന്ന് സദാ കോപിക്കുന്നതും അങ്ങയുടെ തീക്ഷ്ണത തീപോലെ ജ്വലിക്കുന്നതും എത്രത്തോളം?
6 ౬ నిన్నెరగని రాజ్యాల మీద, నీ పేరున ప్రార్థన చేయని రాజ్యాల మీద నీ ఉగ్రత కుమ్మరించు.
൬അങ്ങയെ അറിയാത്ത ജനതകളുടെമേലും അങ്ങയുടെ നാമം വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കാത്ത രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെമേലും അവിടുത്തെ ക്രോധം പകരണമേ.
7 ౭ వాళ్ళు యాకోబు సంతతిని దిగమింగారు. అతని గ్రామాలను పాడు చేశారు.
൭അവർ യാക്കോബിനെ വിഴുങ്ങിക്കളയുകയും അവന്റെ വാസസ്ഥലം ശൂന്യമാക്കുകയും ചെയ്തുവല്ലോ.
8 ౮ మేమెంతో కుంగిపోయి ఉన్నాం. మా పూర్వీకుల అపరాధాలకు మమ్మల్ని బాధ్యులను చేయవద్దు. నీ వాత్సల్యం మా మీదికి రానివ్వు.
൮ഞങ്ങളുടെ പൂർവ്വികരുടെ അകൃത്യങ്ങൾ ഞങ്ങളോട് കണക്കിടരുതേ; അങ്ങയുടെ കരുണ വേഗത്തിൽ ഞങ്ങളെ എതിരേല്ക്കുമാറാകട്ടെ; ഞങ്ങൾ ഏറ്റവും എളിമപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
9 ౯ దేవా, మా రక్షకా! నీ పేరు ప్రతిష్టలకు తగ్గట్టుగా మాకు సాయం చెయ్యి. నీ నామాన్ని బట్టి మా పాపాలను క్షమించి మమ్మల్ని రక్షించు.
൯ഞങ്ങളുടെ രക്ഷയായ ദൈവമേ, അങ്ങയുടെ നാമമഹത്വത്തിനായി ഞങ്ങളെ സഹായിക്കണമേ; അങ്ങയുടെ നാമംനിമിത്തം ഞങ്ങളെ രക്ഷിച്ച്, ഞങ്ങളുടെ പാപങ്ങൾക്ക് പ്രായശ്ചിത്തം ചെയ്യണമെ.
10 ౧౦ వాళ్ళ దేవుడెక్కడ? అని ఇతర ప్రజలు ఎందుకు అనాలి? వాళ్ళు ఒలికించిన నీ సేవకుల రక్తం విషయం ప్రతిదండన మా కళ్ళ ఎదుట కనబడనీ.
൧൦“അവരുടെ ദൈവം എവിടെ?” എന്ന് ജനതകൾ പറയുന്നത് എന്തിന്? അങ്ങയുടെ ദാസന്മാരുടെ രക്തം ചിന്തിയതിന് പ്രതികാരം ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൃഷ്ടിയിൽ, ജനതകളുടെ ഇടയിൽ വെളിപ്പെടുമാറാകട്ടെ.
11 ౧౧ ఖైదీల నిట్టూర్పులు నీ దగ్గరికి రానివ్వు, నీ గొప్ప బలంతో చావనై ఉన్న వారిని కాపాడు.
൧൧ബദ്ധന്മാരുടെ നെടുവീർപ്പ് അങ്ങയുടെ മുമ്പാകെ വരുമാറാകട്ടെ; മരണത്തിന് വിധിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നവരെ അങ്ങ് അങ്ങയുടെ മഹാശക്തിയാൽ രക്ഷിക്കണമേ.
12 ౧౨ ప్రభూ, మా పొరుగు దేశాలు నిన్ను నిందించినందుకు ప్రతిగా వారిని ఏడంతల నిందకు గురి చెయ్యి.
൧൨കർത്താവേ, ഞങ്ങളുടെ അയല്ക്കാർ അങ്ങയെ നിന്ദിച്ച നിന്ദ ഏഴിരട്ടിയായി അവരുടെ മാർവ്വിടത്തിലേക്ക് പകരം കൊടുക്കണമേ.
13 ౧౩ అప్పుడు నీ ప్రజలమూ నీ మంద గొర్రెలమూ అయిన మేము ఎప్పటికీ నీకు ధన్యవాదాలు చెబుతాం. తరతరాలకు నీ కీర్తి ప్రచురిస్తాం.
൧൩എന്നാൽ അങ്ങയുടെ ജനവും അങ്ങയുടെ മേച്ചില്പുറത്തെ ആടുകളുമായ ഞങ്ങൾ എന്നേക്കും അങ്ങേക്ക് സ്തോത്രം ചെയ്യും. തലമുറതലമുറയോളം ഞങ്ങൾ അങ്ങയുടെ സ്തുതിയെ പ്രസ്താവിക്കും.
