కీర్తనల~ గ్రంథము 94

1 ౧ ప్రతీకారం చేసే దేవా! యెహోవా! ప్రతీకారం చేసే దేవా! మా మీద ప్రకాశించు.

യഹോവേ, പ്രതികാരത്തിന്റെ ദൈവമേ, പ്രതികാരത്തിന്റെ ദൈവമേ, പ്രകാശം പരത്തണമേ.

2 ౨ లోక న్యాయమూర్తీ, లే! గర్విష్టులకు తగినట్టుగా ప్రతిఫలం ఇవ్వు.

ഭൂമിയുടെ ന്യായാധിപതിയേ, എഴുന്നേൽക്കണമേ; അഹങ്കാരികൾക്ക് അവർ അർഹിക്കുന്ന ശിക്ഷനൽകണമേ.

3 ౩ యెహోవా, దుర్మార్గులు ఎంతకాలం, ఎంతకాలం గెలుస్తారు?

ദുഷ്ടർ ഇനിയും എത്രനാൾ, യഹോവേ, ദുഷ്ടർ എത്രനാൾ തിമിർത്താഹ്ലാദിക്കും?

4 ౪ వాళ్ళు గర్వంగా తిరస్కారంగా మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. వాళ్ళంతా గొప్పలు చెప్పుకుంటున్నారు.

അഹന്തനിറഞ്ഞ വാക്കുകൾ അവർ ഉരുവിടുന്നു; അധർമികൾ എല്ലാവരും വമ്പുപറയുന്നു.

5 ౫ యెహోవా, వాళ్ళు నీ ప్రజలను అణిచివేస్తున్నారు. నీకు చెందిన జాతిని బాధిస్తున్నారు.

യഹോവേ, അവിടത്തെ ജനത്തെ അവർ ഞെരിച്ചമർത്തുന്നു; അങ്ങയുടെ അവകാശത്തെ അവർ പീഡിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

6 ౬ వాళ్ళు వితంతువులనూ విదేశీయులనూ చంపేస్తున్నారు. అనాథలను హత్య చేస్తున్నారు.

വിധവകളെയും പ്രവാസികളെയും അവർ കൊന്നൊടുക്കുന്നു; അനാഥരെ അവർ വധിക്കുന്നു.

7 ౭ వారు యెహోవా చూడడు, యాకోబు దేవుడు ఇదంతా గమనించడు, అంటారు.

അവർ ഇപ്രകാരം പറയുന്നു, “യഹോവ കാണുന്നില്ല; യാക്കോബിന്റെ ദൈവം ഗൗനിക്കുന്നില്ല.”

8 ౮ బుద్ధిలేని ప్రజలారా, తెలుసుకోండి. మూర్ఖులారా, మీరెప్పుడు నేర్చుకుంటారు?

ജനങ്ങൾക്കിടയിലെ വിവേകശൂന്യരായ മനുഷ്യാ, കരുതിയിരിക്കുക; ഭോഷരേ, നിങ്ങൾക്കിനി എന്നാണ് ജ്ഞാനമുദിക്കുക?

9 ౯ చెవులిచ్చినవాడు వినలేడా? కళ్ళు చేసినవాడు చూడలేడా?

കാതുകൾ വെച്ചുപിടിപ്പിച്ചവൻ കേൾക്കാതിരിക്കുമോ? കണ്ണുകൾ രൂപപ്പെടുത്തിയവൻ കാണാതെവരുമോ?

10 ౧౦ రాజ్యాలను అదుపులో పెట్టేవాడు సరిచేయడా? మనిషికి తెలివి ఇచ్చేవాడు ఆయనే.

രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളെ വരുതിയിൽ നിറുത്തിയവൻ ശിക്ഷിക്കാതിരിക്കുമോ? മനുഷ്യവംശത്തെ അഭ്യസിപ്പിക്കുന്നവന് പരിജ്ഞാനം കുറവെന്നുവരുമോ?

11 ౧౧ మనుషుల ఆలోచనలు యెహోవాకు తెలుసు, అవి పనికిరానివని ఆయనకు తెలుసు.

മനുഷ്യരുടെ വിചാരങ്ങളെല്ലാം യഹോവ അറിയുന്നു; അവ വ്യർഥമെന്ന് അവിടന്ന് അറിയുന്നു.

12 ౧౨ యెహోవా, నీ దగ్గర శిక్షణ పొందేవాడు నీ ధర్మశాస్త్రంలో నుంచి నీ దగ్గర నేర్చుకునేవాడు ధన్యుడు.

യഹോവേ, അവിടന്ന് ശിക്ഷിക്കുന്നവർ അനുഗൃഹീതർ, അങ്ങയുടെ ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തിൽനിന്ന് അവിടന്ന് പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നവർതന്നെ.

13 ౧౩ దుర్మార్గులకు గుంట తవ్వే వరకూ అతని కష్టకాలాల్లో నువ్వు నెమ్మది ఇస్తావు.

അവിടന്ന് അവർക്ക് ദുരിതദിനങ്ങളിൽ സ്വസ്ഥത നൽകുന്നു, ദുഷ്ടർക്കുവേണ്ടി ഒരു കുഴി കുഴിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതുവരെ.

14 ౧౪ యెహోవా తన ప్రజలను విడిచిపెట్టడు. తన సొత్తును వదిలి పెట్టడు.

കാരണം യഹോവ തന്റെ ജനത്തെ തള്ളിക്കളയുകയില്ല; അവിടന്ന് തന്റെ അവകാശത്തെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുകയുമില്ല.

15 ౧౫ న్యాయం గెలుస్తుంది, నిజాయితీపరులంతా దాన్ని అనుసరిస్తారు.

ന്യായവിധി വീണ്ടും നീതിയിൽ അധിഷ്ഠിതമായിരിക്കും ഹൃദയപരമാർഥികൾ എല്ലാവരും അത് പിൻതുടരും.

16 ౧౬ దుర్మార్గుల ఎదుట నా పక్షాన ఎవరు నిలబడతారు? దుష్టులకు వ్యతిరేకంగా నా కోసం ఎవరు నిలుస్తారు?

ദുഷ്ടരെ നേരിടുന്നതിനായി ആരാണ് എനിക്കുവേണ്ടി എഴുന്നേൽക്കുന്നത്? ആര് എനിക്കുവേണ്ടി അധർമികളോട് എതിർത്തുനിൽക്കും?

17 ౧౭ యెహోవా నాకు సాయం రాకపోతే నేను మరణనిశ్శబ్దంలో పండుకునే వాడినే.

യഹോവ എനിക്ക് സഹായി ആയിരുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ, ഞാൻ അതിവേഗത്തിൽ മരണത്തിന്റെ നിശ്ശബ്ദതയിൽ പാർക്കുമായിരുന്നു.

18 ౧౮ నా కాలు జారింది అని నేనంటే, యెహోవా, నీ కృప నన్ను ఎత్తిపట్టుకుంది.

“എന്റെ കാൽ വഴുതുന്നു,” എന്നു ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ, യഹോവേ, അവിടത്തെ അചഞ്ചലസ്നേഹം എനിക്ക് തുണയായിരുന്നു.

19 ౧౯ నా లోని ఆందోళనలు నన్ను ఉక్కిరిబిక్కిరి చేసి నన్ను బెదిరిస్తుంటే, నీ గొప్ప ఆదరణ నా ప్రాణానికి నెమ్మది కలగచేసింది.

എന്റെയുള്ളിൽ ആകുലതകൾ വർധിച്ചപ്പോൾ, അവിടത്തെ സാന്ത്വനം എന്റെ പ്രാണന് ആനന്ദം നൽകി.

20 ౨౦ దుర్మార్గ పాలకులు నీతో జత కట్టగలరా? అన్యాయం చేద్దామని వాళ్ళు చట్టం కల్పిస్తారు.

അഴിമതിനിറഞ്ഞ സിംഹാസനവുമായി അങ്ങേക്ക് സഖ്യമുണ്ടാകുമോ— ഉത്തരവുകളിലൂടെ ദുരന്തം വരുത്തുന്ന സിംഹാസനത്തോടുതന്നെ?

21 ౨౧ వాళ్ళు నీతిమంతులకు వ్యతిరేకంగా కుట్ర పన్నుతారు. నిర్దోషులకు మరణ దండన విధిస్తారు.

അവർ നീതിനിഷ്ഠർക്കെതിരേ ഒത്തുചേർന്ന് നിരപരാധികളെ മരണത്തിന് വിധിക്കുന്നു.

22 ౨౨ అయితే యెహోవా నాకు ఎత్తయిన కోట. నా దేవుడు నాకు ఆశ్రయదుర్గం.

എന്നാൽ യഹോവ എന്റെ ഉറപ്പുള്ള കോട്ടയായിത്തീർന്നിരിക്കുന്നു, അവിടന്ന് എന്റെ ദൈവം, ഞാൻ അഭയംതേടുന്ന പാറയും.

23 ౨౩ ఆయన వాళ్ళ దోషం వాళ్ళ మీదికి రప్పిస్తాడు. వాళ్ళ చెడుతనంలోనే వాళ్ళను నాశనం చేస్తాడు. మన యెహోవా దేవుడు వాళ్ళను నాశనం చేస్తాడు.

അവിടന്ന് അവരുടെ പാപങ്ങൾക്കു തക്ക പ്രതികാരംചെയ്യും അവരുടെ ദുഷ്‌പ്രവൃത്തികൾമൂലം അവരെ നശിപ്പിക്കും; നമ്മുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അവരെ തകർത്തുകളയും.
