< కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 91 >
1 ౧ సర్వోన్నతుడి చాటున నివసించే వాడు సర్వశక్తిశాలి నీడలో నిలిచి ఉంటాడు.
അത്യുന്നതനെ ആശ്രയമാക്കി വസിക്കുന്നവർ സർവശക്തന്റെ തണലിൽ വിശ്രമിക്കും.
2 ౨ ఆయనే నాకు ఆశ్రయం, నా కోట, నేను నమ్ముకునే నా దేవుడు, అని నేను యెహోవాను గురించి చెబుతాను.
ഞാൻ യഹോവയെക്കുറിച്ച്, “അവിടന്നാണ് എന്റെ സങ്കേതവും കോട്ടയും ഞാൻ ആശ്രയിക്കുന്ന എന്റെ ദൈവവും,” എന്നു പറയും.
3 ౩ వేటగాడు పన్నిన ఉచ్చు నుంచి ప్రాణాంతకవ్యాధి నుంచి ఆయన నిన్ను విడిపిస్తాడు.
അവിടന്നു നിശ്ചയമായും നിന്നെ വേട്ടക്കാരുടെ കെണിയിൽനിന്നും മാരകമായ പകർച്ചവ്യാധിയിൽനിന്നും രക്ഷിക്കും.
4 ౪ ఆయన తన రెక్కలతో నిన్ను కప్పుతాడు. ఆయన రెక్కల కింద నీకు ఆశ్రయం దొరుకుతుంది. ఆయన నమ్మకత్వం నిన్ను కాపాడే కవచంగా ఉంటుంది.
തന്റെ തൂവലുകൾകൊണ്ട് അവിടന്ന് നിന്നെ മറയ്ക്കും, അവിടത്തെ ചിറകിൻകീഴിൽ നീ അഭയംകണ്ടെത്തും; അവിടത്തെ വിശ്വസ്തത നിനക്ക് പരിചയും കോട്ടയും ആയിരിക്കും.
5 ౫ రాత్రిలో కలిగే భయభ్రాంతులకు, పగటివేళ ఎగిరి వచ్చే బాణాలకూ నువ్వు భయపడవు.
രാത്രിയുടെ ഭീകരതയോ പകലിൽ ചീറിപ്പായുന്ന അസ്ത്രമോ
6 ౬ చీకట్లో తచ్చాడే రోగానికిగానీ మధ్యాహ్నం సోకే వ్యాధికి గానీ నువ్వు బెదిరిపోవు.
ഇരുളിന്റെ മറവിൽ വ്യാപിക്കുന്ന പകർച്ചവ്യാധിയോ നട്ടുച്ചയ്ക്കു വന്നുചേരുന്ന അത്യാപത്തോ നീ ഭയപ്പെടുകയില്ല.
7 ౭ నీ పక్కన వేయి మంది, నీ కుడిపక్కన పదివేల మంది నేలకూలినా అది నీ దరిదాపులకు రాదు.
നിന്റെ വശത്ത് ആയിരംപേരും നിന്റെ വലതുഭാഗത്ത് പതിനായിരംപേരും വീഴും. എങ്കിലും അതു നിന്നോട് അടുക്കുകയില്ല.
8 ౮ దుర్మార్గులకు పడే శిక్ష నువ్వు చూస్తూ ఉంటావు.
നിന്റെ കണ്ണുകൾകൊണ്ട് നീ നോക്കുകയും ദുഷ്ടരുടെ ശിക്ഷ നീ കാണുകയും ചെയ്യും.
9 ౯ యెహోవా నా ఆశ్రయం. మహోన్నతుణ్ణి నీకు కూడా శరణుగా చేసుకో.
യഹോവയെ നിന്റെ സങ്കേതവും അത്യുന്നതനെ നിന്റെ നിവാസസ്ഥാനവും ആക്കുമെങ്കിൽ,
10 ౧౦ ఏ హానీ నిన్ను ముంచెత్తదు. ఏ ఆపదా నీ ఇంటి దరిదాపులకు రాదు.
ഒരു അത്യാപത്തും നിനക്ക് ഉണ്ടാകുകയില്ല, ഒരു ദുരന്തവും നിന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിന് അടുത്തെത്തുകയില്ല.
11 ౧౧ నువ్వు చేసే వాటన్నిటిలో నిన్ను కాపాడడానికి ఆయన తన దూతలను పురమాయిస్తాడు.
കാരണം അവിടന്ന് തന്റെ ദൂതന്മാരോട് നിന്റെ എല്ലാ വഴികളിലും നിന്നെ സംരക്ഷിക്കാൻ കൽപ്പിക്കും;
12 ౧౨ నువ్వు జారి బండ రాయిపై పడిపోకుండా వాళ్ళు నిన్ను తమ చేతుల్లో ఎత్తి పట్టుకుంటారు.
അവർ നിന്റെ പാദങ്ങൾ കല്ലിൽ മുട്ടാതെ നിന്നെ അവരുടെ കരങ്ങളിലേന്തും.
13 ౧౩ నువ్వు సింహాలనూ నాగుపాములను నీ కాళ్ళ కింద తొక్కుతావు, సింహం కూనలను, పాములను అణగదొక్కుతావు.
സിംഹത്തെയും അണലിയെയും നീ ചതയ്ക്കും; സിംഹക്കുട്ടികളെയും മഹാസർപ്പത്തെയും നീ മെതിക്കും.
14 ౧౪ అతనికి నా మీద భక్తి విశ్వాసాలున్నాయి గనక నేనతన్ని రక్షిస్తాను. అతడు నా పట్ల స్వామిభక్తి గలవాడు గనక నేనతన్ని కాపాడతాను.
അതുകൊണ്ട് യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു, “എന്നെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നവരെ ഞാൻ മോചിപ്പിക്കും; എന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുന്നവരെ ഞാൻ സംരക്ഷിക്കും.
15 ౧౫ అతడు నాకు మొరపెడితే నేనతనికి జవాబిస్తాను. కష్టాల్లో నేను అతనితో ఉంటాను, అతనికి విజయమిచ్చి అతన్ని సత్కరిస్తాను.
അവർ എന്നെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കും, ഞാൻ അവർക്ക് ഉത്തരമരുളും; കഷ്ടതയിൽ ഞാൻ അവരോടൊപ്പമുണ്ടാകും, ഞാൻ അവരെ വിടുവിച്ച് ബഹുമാനിക്കും.
16 ౧౬ దీర్ఘాయుష్షుతో అతన్ని తృప్తిపరుస్తాను. నా రక్షణ అతనికి చూపిస్తాను.
ദീർഘായുസ്സ് നൽകി ഞാൻ അവരെ തൃപ്തരാക്കും എന്റെ രക്ഷ ഞാൻ അവർക്കു കാണിച്ചുകൊടുക്കും.”
