গীতসংহিতা 109
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Yhwh; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before Yhwh continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 ১৬ যেহেতু এইলোক কাউকে দয়া দেখানোর বিষয় মাথা ঘামাননি, কিন্তু তার বদলে নিপীড়িতদের তাড়না করত এবং অত্যন্ত গরিব লোককে এবং নিরুত্সাহ লোককে হত্যা করত।
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 ১৭ সে অভিশাপ দিতে ভালবাসত, সেটাই তারই ওপর আসল। সে আশীর্বাদ করতে ঘৃণা করত; তার ওপর যেন আশীর্বাদ না আসুক।
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 ১৮ সে অভিশাপকে কাপড়ের মতো পরত এবং তার অভিশাপ তার অন্তর থেকে জলের মতো, তার হাড়ের মধ্যে থেকে তেলের মত আসল।
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Yhwh, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 ২১ সদাপ্রভুু আমার প্রভু, নিজ নামের অনুরোধে আমার সঙ্গে ব্যবহার কর; কারণ তোমার বিশ্বস্ত বিধি মঙ্গলময়, আমাকে বাঁচাও।
But do thou for me, O Yhwh the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Help me, O Yhwh my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Yhwh, hast done it.
28 ২৮ যদিও তারা আমাকে শাপ দেয়, দয়া করে তুমি আশীর্বাদ কর; যখন তারা আক্রমণ করে যেন তারা লজ্জিত হয়। কিন্তু তোমার এ দাস আনন্দ করবে।
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
I will greatly praise Yhwh with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
