< కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 88 >
1 ౧ ఒక పాట, కోరహు వారసుల కీర్తన. ప్రధాన సంగీతకారుని కోసం, మహలతు లయన్నోతు అనే రాగంతో పాడేది. ఎజ్రా వంశం వాడైన హేమాను మస్కిల్ (దైవ ధ్యానం) యెహోవా, నా రక్షణకర్తవైన దేవా, రేయింబవళ్ళు నేను నీకు మొరపెడుతున్నాను.
൧ഒരു ഗീതം; കോരഹ് പുത്രന്മാരുടെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം; സംഗീതപ്രമാണിക്ക്; മഹലത്ത് രാഗത്തിൽ പ്രതിഗാനത്തിനായി; എസ്രാഹ്യനായ ഹേമാന്റെ ഒരു ധ്യാനം. എന്റെ രക്ഷയുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവേ, ഞാൻ രാവും പകലും തിരുസന്നിധിയിൽ നിലവിളിക്കുന്നു;
2 ౨ నా ప్రార్థన విను. నా మొర జాగ్రత్తగా ఆలకించు.
൨എന്റെ പ്രാർത്ഥന തിരുമുൻപിൽ വരുമാറാകട്ടെ; എന്റെ നിലവിളിക്കു ചെവി ചായിക്കണമേ.
3 ౩ నా ప్రాణం కష్టాల్లో ఇరుక్కుపోయింది. నా జీవితం చావుకు దగ్గరగా ఉంది. (Sheol )
൩എന്റെ പ്രാണൻ കഷ്ടതകൊണ്ട് നിറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്റെ ജീവൻ പാതാളത്തോട് സമീപിക്കുന്നു. (Sheol )
4 ౪ సమాధిలోకి దిగిపోయే వాడిగా ప్రజలు నన్ను ఎంచుతున్నారు. నేను నిస్సహాయుడిలాగా ఉన్నాను.
൪കുഴിയിൽ ഇറങ്ങുന്നവരുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിൽ എന്നെ എണ്ണിയിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ ബലഹീനനായ മനുഷ്യനെപ്പോലെയാകുന്നു.
5 ౫ చచ్చినవాళ్ళ మధ్య నన్ను వదిలేశారు. మృతుడు సమాధిలో పడి ఉన్నట్టు నేనున్నాను. నువ్విక పట్టించుకోని వాడిలాగా అయ్యాను. వాళ్ళు నీ ప్రభావం నుంచి తెగతెంపులు చేసుకున్నారు.
൫ശവക്കുഴിയിൽ കിടക്കുന്ന ഹതന്മാരെപ്പോലെ എന്നെ മരിച്ചവരുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിൽ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അവരെ അങ്ങ് പിന്നെ ഓർക്കുന്നില്ല; അവർ അങ്ങയുടെ കൈയിൽനിന്ന് ഛേദിക്കപ്പെട്ടുപോയിരിക്കുന്നു.
6 ౬ నువ్వు నన్ను లోతైన గుంటలో, చీకటి తావుల్లో అగాధాల్లో ఉంచావు.
൬അങ്ങ് എന്നെ ഏറ്റവും താണകുഴിയിലും ഇരുട്ടിലും ആഴങ്ങളിലും ഇട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
7 ౭ నీ ఉగ్రత నా మీద భారంగా ఉంది. నీ అలలన్నీ నన్ను ముంచుతున్నాయి. (సెలా)
൭അങ്ങയുടെ ക്രോധം എനിക്ക് ഭാരമായിരിക്കുന്നു; അങ്ങയുടെ എല്ലാ തിരകളുംകൊണ്ട് അവിടുന്ന് എന്നെ വലച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. (സേലാ)
8 ౮ నీ మూలంగా నా సన్నిహితులు నన్ను దూరంగా ఉంచుతున్నారు. వాళ్ళ దృష్టిలో నువ్వు నన్ను నీచునిగా చేశావు. నేను ఇరుక్కు పోయాను, తప్పించుకోలేను.
൮എന്റെ പരിചയക്കാരെ അവിടുന്ന് എന്നോട് അകറ്റി, അവർക്ക് എന്നോട് വെറുപ്പായിരിക്കുന്നു; പുറത്തിറങ്ങുവാൻ കഴിയാത്തവിധം എന്നെ അടച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
9 ౯ బాధతో నా కళ్ళు అలసిపోయాయి. యెహోవా, రోజంతా నేను నీకు మొరపెడుతున్నాను, నీవైపు నా చేతులు చాపాను.
൯എന്റെ കണ്ണ് കഷ്ടതഹേതുവായി ക്ഷയിച്ചുപോകുന്നു; യഹോവേ, ഞാൻ ദിവസംപ്രതി അങ്ങയെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കുകയും എന്റെ കൈകളെ അങ്ങയിലേക്ക് മലർത്തുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
10 ౧౦ మృతులకోసం నువ్వు అద్భుతాలు చేస్తావా? చచ్చిన వాళ్ళు లేచి నిన్ను స్తుతిస్తారా? (సెలా)
൧൦അവിടുന്ന് മരിച്ചവർക്ക് വേണ്ടി അത്ഭുതങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യുമോ? മൃതന്മാർ എഴുന്നേറ്റ് അങ്ങയെ സ്തുതിക്കുമോ? (സേലാ)
11 ౧౧ సమాధిలో నీ కృపను ఎవరైనా చాటిస్తారా? శ్మశానంలో నీ విశ్వసనీయతను ఎవరైనా వివరిస్తారా?
൧൧ശവക്കുഴിയിൽ അങ്ങയുടെ ദയയെയും വിനാശത്തിൽ അങ്ങയുടെ വിശ്വസ്തതയെയും വർണ്ണിക്കുമോ?
12 ౧౨ చీకట్లో నీ అద్భుతాలు తెలుస్తాయా? మరుభూమిలో నీ నీతి తెలుస్తుందా?
൧൨അന്ധകാരത്തിൽ അങ്ങയുടെ അത്ഭുതങ്ങളും വിസ്മൃതിയുടെ ദേശത്ത് അങ്ങയുടെ നീതിയും വെളിപ്പെടുമോ?
13 ౧౩ అయితే యెహోవా, నేను నీకు మొరపెడతాను. ఉదయాన నా ప్రార్థన నీ దగ్గరికి వస్తుంది.
൧൩എന്നാൽ യഹോവേ, ഞാൻ അങ്ങയോട് നിലവിളിക്കുന്നു; രാവിലെ എന്റെ പ്രാർത്ഥന തിരുസന്നിധിയിൽ വരുന്നു.
14 ౧౪ యెహోవా, నువ్వు నన్ను ఎందుకు వదిలేస్తున్నావు? నీ ముఖాన్ని నాకెందుకు దాస్తున్నావు?
൧൪യഹോവേ, അവിടുന്ന് എന്റെ പ്രാണനെ തള്ളിക്കളയുന്നതെന്തിന്? അങ്ങയുടെ മുഖത്തെ എനിക്ക് മറയ്ക്കുന്നതും എന്തിന്?
15 ౧౫ చిన్నప్పటి నుంచి నేను కష్టాల్లో ఉన్నాను, మరణం అంచుల్లో ఉన్నాను. నీ భయాందోళనలను నేను అనుభవించాను. నేను నిస్సహాయుణ్ణి.
൧൫ബാല്യംമുതൽ ഞാൻ അരിഷ്ടനും മൃതപ്രായനും ആകുന്നു; ഞാൻ അങ്ങയുടെ ഭീകരതകൾ സഹിച്ച് വലഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു.
16 ౧౬ నీ కోపాగ్ని నన్ను ముంచెత్తింది. భయపెట్టే నీ పనులు నన్ను హతమార్చాయి.
൧൬അങ്ങയുടെ ഉഗ്രകോപം എന്റെ മീതെ കവിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു; അങ്ങയുടെ ഭീകരത എന്നെ സംഹരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
17 ౧౭ నీళ్లలాగా రోజంతా అవి నన్ను చుట్టుముట్టాయి. నన్ను కమ్మేశాయి.
൧൭അവ ഇടവിടാതെ വെള്ളംപോലെ എന്നെ ചുറ്റുന്നു; അവ ഒരുപോലെ എന്നെ വളയുന്നു.
18 ౧౮ నా మిత్రులనూ బంధువులనూ నువ్వు నాకు దూరం చేశావు. చీకటి ఒక్కటే నా చుట్టం.
൧൮സ്നേഹിതനെയും കൂട്ടാളിയെയും അവിടുന്ന് എന്നോട് അകറ്റിയിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്റെ സ്നേഹിതന്മാർ അന്ധകാരമത്രേ.
