ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 102
The prayer: for a weary and suffering person who pours out their grief to the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry for help come to you.
2 ೨ ನನ್ನ ಕಷ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಮುಖನಾಗಬೇಡ; ನನ್ನ ಮೊರೆಗೆ ಕಿವಿಗೊಡು; ನಾನು ಕೂಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಗನೆ ಸದುತ್ತರವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸು.
Hide not your face from me in the day of my distress. Incline your ear to me: when I call, answer me speedily.
For my days pass away like smoke: my bones are burned through as with fire.
My heart is scorched, withered like grass; I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of my loud groaning, my flesh clings to my bones.
Like a desert-owl of the wilderness, like an owl among ruins am I.
I make my sleepless lament like a bird on the house-top alone.
8 ೮ ವೈರಿಗಳು ಹಗಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿಂದಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ; ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೋಪಾವೇಶವುಳ್ಳವರು ಯಾರನ್ನಾದರೂ ಶಪಿಸುವಾಗ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದೃಷ್ಟಾಂತಮಾಡಿ ಶಪಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
All the day wild foes revile me, using my name for a curse.
For ashes have been my bread, and tears have been mixed with my cup.
Because of your passionate anger, you did raise me, then hurl me to the ground.
My days come to an end, shadows lengthen, I wither like grass.
But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever, your fame endures to all generations.
You will arise and have pity on Zion; it’s time to be gracious; her hour has come.
For even her stones are dear to your servants, even the dust of her ruins they look on with love.
Then the nations will revere the name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth his glory,
when the Lord shall have built up Zion, and revealed himself in his glory,
in response to the prayer of the destitute, whose prayer he will not despise.
Let this be recorded for ages to come, that the Lord may be praised by a people yet unborn.
19 ೧೯ “ಯೆಹೋವನು ತನ್ನ ಮಹೋನ್ನತವಾದ ಪವಿತ್ರಸ್ಥಾನದಿಂದ ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ನೋಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ಆತನು ಪರಲೋಕದಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ದೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
For he shall look down from his holy height, from the heavens the Lord will gaze on the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are doomed to die;
21 ೨೧ ಅವರು ಚೀಯೋನಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಯೆಹೋವನ ನಾಮವನ್ನು ವರ್ಣಿಸುವಂತೆಯೂ, ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಕೀರ್ತನೆಯನ್ನು ಹಾಡುವಂತೆಯೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
that people may recount the Lord’s fame in Zion, and the praise of him in Jerusalem,
when the nations are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
He has broken my strength on the way, he has shortened my days.
24 ೨೪ ನನ್ನ ಆಯುಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ, “ನನ್ನ ದೇವರೇ, ಅರ್ಧಾಯುಷ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಒಯ್ಯಬೇಡ; ನಿನ್ನ ವರ್ಷಗಳು ತಲತಲಾಂತರಕ್ಕೂ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ.
I will say, ‘My God, take me not hence in the midst of my days. ‘Your years endure age after age.
Of old you have founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 ೨೬ ಅವು ನಾಶವಾಗುವವು; ಆದರೆ ನೀನು ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತಿ. ಅವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ವಸ್ತ್ರದಂತೆ ಹಳೆಯದಾಗುವವು. ಉಡುಪಿನಂತೆ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಬದಲಿಸುತ್ತಿ; ಅವು ಮಾರ್ಪಡುವವು.
They shall perish; but you do stand. They shall all wax old like a garment, and change as a robe you will change them.
But you are the same, your years are endless.
28 ೨೮ ನಿನ್ನ ಸೇವಕರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಬಾಳುವರು. ಅವರ ಸಂತತಿಯವರು ನಿನ್ನ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರುವರು” ಎಂದು ಮೊರೆಯಿಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
The children of your servants abide, evermore shall their seed be before you.’
