కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 89
1 ౧ ఎజ్రా వంశం వాడైన ఏతాను దైవ ధ్యానం. యెహోవా కృపాకార్యాలను నేను కలకాలం గానం చేస్తాను. రాబోయే తరాలకు నీ నమ్మకత్వాన్ని ప్రకటిస్తాను.
[A Psalm] of instruction for Aetham the Israelite. I will sing of your mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare your truth with my mouth to all generations.
2 ౨ నేను అంటున్నాను, నిబంధన విశ్వసనీయత శాశ్వతంగా స్థాపించావు. నీ సత్యం పరలోకంలో శాశ్వతంగా స్థిరపరచావు.
For you have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: your truth shall be established in the heavens.
I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware to David my servant.
I will establish your seed for ever, and build up your throne to all generations. (Pause)
5 ౫ యెహోవా, ఆకాశాలు నీ అద్భుతాలను ప్రస్తుతిస్తాయి, పవిత్రుల సమావేశంలో నీ విశ్వసనీయతకు స్తుతులు కలుగుతున్నాయి.
The heavens shall declare your wonders, O Lord; and your truth in the assembly of the saints.
For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?
God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him.
O Lord God of hosts, who is like to you? you are mighty, O Lord, and your truth is round about you.
9 ౯ ఉప్పొంగే సముద్రాన్ని నువ్వు అదుపులో ఉంచుతావు, అలలు ఉవ్వెత్తుగా లేస్తే నువ్వు వాటిని అణచివేస్తావు.
You rule the power of the sea; and you calm the tumult of its waves.
10 ౧౦ చచ్చిన దానితో సమానంగా నువ్వు రాహాబును నలిపేశావు. నీ బాహుబలంతో నీ శత్రువులను చెదరగొట్టి వేశావు.
You has brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of your power you has scattered your enemies.
The heavens are your, and the earth is your: you have founded the world, and the fullness of it.
12 ౧౨ ఉత్తర దక్షిణ దిక్కులను నువ్వే సృష్టించావు. తాబోరు హెర్మోనులు నీ నామాన్నిబట్టి ఆనందిస్తున్నాయి.
You have created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name.
Your is the mighty arm: let your hand be strengthened, let your right hand be exalted.
Justice and judgment are the establishment of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.
Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance.
And in your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.
For you are the boast of their strength; and in your good pleasure shall our horn be exalted,
for [our] help is of the Lord; and of the Holy One of Israel, our king.
19 ౧౯ ఒకప్పుడు నువ్వు దర్శనంలో నీ భక్తులతో మాట్లాడావు. నువ్విలా అన్నావు, నేను ఒక శూరుడికి కిరీటం పెట్టాను. ప్రజల్లోనుంచి ఎన్నుకుని అతణ్ణి హెచ్చించాను.
Then you spoke in vision to your children, and said, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people.
I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by [my] holy mercy.
For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him.
The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again.
And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him.
But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
He shall call upon me, [saying], You are my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.
And I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant [shall be] firm with him.
And I will establish his seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments;
I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.
But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth.
Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips.
Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David.
His see shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;
and as the moon [that is] established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven. (Pause)
But you have cast off and set at nothing, you has rejected your anointed.
You have overthrown the covenant of your servant; you has profaned his sanctuary, [casting it] to the ground.
You have broken down all his hedges; you have made his strong holds a terror.
All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.
You have exalted the right hand of his enemies; you have made all his enemies to rejoice.
You have turned back the help of his sword, and have not helped him in the battle.
You have deprived him of glory: you have broken down his throne to the ground.
You have shortened the days of his throne: you have poured shame upon him. (Pause)
How long, O Lord, will you turn away, for ever? shall your anger flame out as fire?
Remember what my being is: for have you created all the sons of men in vain?
48 ౪౮ చావకుండా బతికేవాడెవడు? లేక మృత్యులోకంనుంచి తన జీవాన్ని తప్పించుకోగల వాడెవడు? (సెలా) (Sheol h7585)
What man is there who shall live, and not see death? shall [any one] deliver his soul from the hand of Hades? (Pause) (Sheol h7585)
Where are your ancient mercies, O Lord, which you sware to David in your truth?
50 ౫౦ ప్రభూ, నీ సేవకులకు వచ్చిన నిందను బలమైన రాజ్యాలన్నిటి నుంచి వచ్చిన అవమానాన్ని నా గుండెలో నేనెలా భరిస్తున్నానో తలచుకో.
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of your servants, which I have borne in my bosom, [even the reproach] of many nations;
wherewith your enemies have reviled, O Lord: wherewith they have reviled the recompense of your anointed.
Blessed be the Lord for ever. So be it, so be it.
