Psalm 94
1 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ದೇವರೇ ಮುಯ್ಯಿ ತೀರಿಸುವದು ನಿನ್ನದು; ಓ ದೇವರೇ, ಮುಯ್ಯಿ ತೀರಿಸುವದು ನಿನಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ್ದು. ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿಕೋ.
2 ಭೂಮಿಯ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಯೇ, ನೀನು ಎದ್ದೇಳು; ಗರ್ವಿಷ್ಠರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತೀಕಾರವನ್ನು ಕೊಡು.
3 ಕರ್ತನೇ, ದುಷ್ಟರು ಎಷ್ಟರ ವರೆಗೆ ದುಷ್ಟರು ಎಷ್ಟರ ವರೆಗೆ ಜಯಿಸುವರು?
4 ಎಷ್ಟುಕಾಲ ಕಠಿಣ ವಾದವುಗಳನ್ನು ನುಡಿದು ಮಾತಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ? ದುಷ್ಟತನ ಮಾಡುವವರೆಲ್ಲರು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ;
5 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಜನರನ್ನು ತುಂಡುತುಂಡು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ; ನಿನ್ನ ಸ್ವಾಸ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಬಾಧಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
6 ವಿಧವೆಯನ್ನೂ ಪರ ದೇಶಸ್ಥನನ್ನೂ ಅವರು ಕೊಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾರೆ; ದಿಕ್ಕಿಲ್ಲದವರನ್ನು ಹತಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
7 ಕರ್ತನು ನೋಡುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ದೇವರು ಲಕ್ಷಿಸುವದಿಲ್ಲ ಅನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ.
8 ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಪಶುಪ್ರಾಯದವರೇ, ನೀವು ಗ್ರಹಿಸಿರಿ; ಹುಚ್ಚರೇ, ಯಾವಾಗ ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರಾಗುವಿರಿ?
9 ಕಿವಿ ಯನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟವನು ಕೇಳನೋ? ಕಣ್ಣನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸಿದವನು ತಿಳಿಯನೋ?
10 ಜನಾಂಗಗಳನ್ನು ಶಿಕ್ಷಿಸುವ ವನೂ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕಲಿಸುವವನೂ ಗದರಿಸನೋ?
11 ಕರ್ತನು ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಯೋಚನೆ ಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯರ್ಥವೆಂದು ತಿಳುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.
12 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನೀನು ಶಿಕ್ಷಿಸುವವನೂ ನಿನ್ನ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದಿಂದ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಕಲಿಸುವಿಯೋ ಅವನು ಧನ್ಯನು.
13 ದುಷ್ಟನಿಗಾಗಿ ಕುಣಿಯು ಅಗಿಯಲ್ಪಡುವ ವರೆಗೆ ಕಷ್ಟದ ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂಥವನಿಗೆ ವಿಶ್ರಾಂತಿ ಯನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವನು.
14 ಕರ್ತನು ತನ್ನ ಜನರನ್ನು ತೊರೆಯನು; ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಾಸ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡನು.
15 ನ್ಯಾಯವು ನೀತಿಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವದು; ಯಥಾರ್ಥ ಹೃದಯದವರೆಲ್ಲರು ಅದನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುವರು.
16 ನನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗಿಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧ ವಾಗಿ ಏಳುವವನ್ಯಾರು? ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಅಪರಾಧ ಮಾಡು ವವರಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ನನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ನಿಂತು ಕೊಳ್ಳುವವನಾರು?
17 ಕರ್ತನು ನನಗೆ ಸಹಾಯಕ ನಾಗಿರದಿದ್ದರೆ ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವು ಮೌನದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸ ಬೇಕಾಗಿತ್ತು.
18 ನನ್ನ ಕಾಲುಜಾರಿತೋ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ಅಂದಾಗಲೇ ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಕರುಣೆಯು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿಹಿಡಿಯಿತು.
19 ನನ್ನ ಚಿಂತೆಗಳು ಅಂತರಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವಾಗ ನಿನ್ನ ಆದರಣೆಗಳು ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಆನಂದಪಡಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
20 ವಿಧಿಯಿಂದ ಕೇಡನ್ನು ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವ ಅಪರಾಧದ ಸಿಂಹಾಸನವು ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂಗಡ ಅನ್ಯೋನ್ಯವಾಗಿರು ವದೋ?
21 ನೀತಿವಂತನ ಪ್ರಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಅವರು ಕೂಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ; ನಿರಪರಾಧಿಯ ರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಖಂಡಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
22 ಆದರೆ ಕರ್ತನು ನನಗೆ ದುರ್ಗವೂ ನನ್ನ ದೇವರು ನನ್ನ ಆಶ್ರಯದ ಬಂಡೆಯೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
23 ಅವರ ಅಪರಾಧವನ್ನು ಅವರ ಮೇಲೆ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಬರಮಾಡುವನು; ಅವರ ಕೇಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸಂಹರಿಸುವನು; ನಮ್ಮ ದೇವರಾದ ಕರ್ತನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಸಂಹರಿಸುವನು.
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.
5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
