Genesis 19
1 ആ രണ്ടുദൂതന്മാർ വൈകുന്നേരത്തു സൊദോമിൽ എത്തി; ലോത്ത് സൊദോംപട്ടണ വാതിൽക്കൽ ഇരിക്കയായിരുന്നു; അവരെ കാണ്ടിട്ടു ലോത്ത് എഴുന്നേറ്റു എതിരേറ്റു ചെന്നു നിലംവരെ കുനിഞ്ഞു നമസ്കരിച്ചു:
2 യജമാനന്മാരേ, അടിയന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ വന്നു നിങ്ങളുടെ കാലുകളെ കഴുകി രാപാർപ്പിൻ; കാലത്തു എഴുന്നേറ്റു നിങ്ങളുടെ വഴിക്കു പോകയുമാം എന്നു പറഞ്ഞതിന്നു: അല്ല, ഞങ്ങൾ വീഥിയിൽ തന്നേ രാപാർക്കും എന്നു അവർ പറഞ്ഞു.
3 അവൻ അവരെ ഏറ്റവും നിർബന്ധിച്ചു; അപ്പോൾ അവർ അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ തിരിഞ്ഞു അവന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ ചെന്നു; അവൻ അവർക്കു വിരുന്നൊരുക്കി, പുളിപ്പില്ലാത്ത അപ്പം ചുട്ടു; അവർ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിച്ചു.
4 അവർ ഉറങ്ങുവാൻ പോകുമ്മുമ്പെ സൊദോംപട്ടണത്തിലെ പുരുഷന്മാർ സകല ഭാഗത്തുനിന്നും ആബാലവൃദ്ധം എല്ലാവരുംവന്നു വീടു വളഞ്ഞു.
5 അവർ ലോത്തിനെ വിളിച്ചു: ഈരാത്രി നിന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്ന പുരുഷന്മാർ എവിടെ? ഞങ്ങൾ അവരെ ഭോഗിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കൽ പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുവാ എന്നു അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
6 ലോത്ത് വാതിൽക്കൽ അവരുടെ അടുക്കൽ പുറത്തു ചെന്നു, കതകു അടെച്ചുംവെച്ചു:
7 സഹോദരന്മാരേ, ഇങ്ങനെ ദോഷം ചെയ്യരുതേ.
8 പുരുഷൻ തൊടാത്ത രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാർ എനിക്കുണ്ടു; അവരെ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കൽ പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുവരാം; നിങ്ങൾക്കു ബോധിച്ചതുപോലെ അവരോടു ചെയ്തുകൊൾവിൻ; ഈ പുരുഷന്മാരോടു മാത്രം ഒന്നും ചെയ്യരുതേ; ഇതിന്നായിട്ടല്ലോ അവർ എന്റെ വീട്ടിന്റെ നിഴലിൽ വന്നതു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
9 മാറിനിൽക്ക എന്നു അവർ പറഞ്ഞു. ഇവനൊരുത്തൻ പരദേശിയായി വന്നു പാർക്കുന്നു; ന്യായംവിധിപ്പാനും ഭാവിക്കുന്നു. ഇപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾ അവരോടു ഭാവിച്ചതിലധികം നിന്നോടു ദോഷം ചെയ്യും എന്നും അവർ പറഞ്ഞു ലോത്തിനെ ഏറ്റവും തിക്കി വാതിൽ പൊളിപ്പാൻ അടുത്തു.
10 അപ്പോൾ ആ പുരുഷന്മാർ കൈ പുറത്തോട്ടു നീട്ടി ലോത്തിനെ തങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കൽ അകത്തു കയറ്റി വാതിൽഅടെച്ചു,
11 വാതിൽക്കൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന പുരുഷന്മാർക്കു അബാലവൃദ്ധം അന്ധത പിടിപ്പിച്ചു. അതുകൊണ്ടു അവർ വാതിൽ തപ്പി നടന്നു വിഷമിച്ചു.
12 ആ പുരുഷന്മാർ ലോത്തിനോടു: ഇവിടെ നിനക്കു മറ്റു വല്ലവരുമുണ്ടോ? മരുമക്കളോ പുത്രന്മാരോ പുത്രിമാരോ ഇങ്ങനെ പട്ടണത്തിൽ നിനക്കുള്ളവരെയൊക്കെയും ഈ സ്ഥലത്തുനിന്നു കൊണ്ടുപൊയ്ക്കൊൾക;
13 ഇവരെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള ആവലാധി യഹോവയുടെ മുമ്പാകെ വലുതായിത്തീർന്നിരിക്കകൊണ്ടു ഞങ്ങൾ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തെ നശിപ്പിക്കും. അതിനെ നശിപ്പിപ്പാൻ യഹോവ ഞങ്ങളെ അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
14 അങ്ങനെ ലോത്ത് ചെന്നു തന്റെ പുത്രിമാരെ വിവാഹം ചെയ്‍വാനുള്ള മരുമക്കളോടു സംസാരിച്ചു: നിങ്ങൾ എഴുന്നേറ്റു ഈ സ്ഥലം വിട്ടു പുറപ്പെടുവിൻ; യഹോവ ഈ പട്ടണം നശിപ്പിക്കും എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. എന്നാൽ അവൻ കളി പറയുന്നു എന്നു അവന്റെ മരുമക്കൾക്കു തോന്നി.
15 ഉഷസ്സായപ്പോൾ ദൂതന്മാർ ലോത്തിനെ ബദ്ധപ്പെടുത്തി: ഈ പട്ടണത്തിന്റെ അകൃത്യത്തിൽ നശിക്കാതിരിപ്പാൻ എഴുന്നേറ്റു നിന്റെ ഭാര്യയെയും ഇവിടെ കാണുന്ന നിന്റെ രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാരെയും കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുപൊയ്ക്കൊൾക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
16 അവൻ താമസിച്ചപ്പോൾ, യഹോവ അവനോടു കരുണ ചെയ്കയാൽ, ആ പുരുഷന്മാർ അവനെയും ഭാര്യയെയും രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാരെയും കൈക്കു പിടിച്ചു പട്ടണത്തിന്റെ പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുപോയിആക്കി.
17 അവരെ പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുവന്ന ശേഷം അവൻ: ജീവരക്ഷെക്കായി ഓടിപ്പോക: പുറകോട്ടു നോക്കരുതു; ഈ പ്രദേശത്തെങ്ങും നിൽക്കയുമരുതു; നിനക്കു നാശം ഭവിക്കാതിരിപ്പാൻ പർവ്വതത്തിലേക്കു ഓടിപ്പോക എന്നുപറഞ്ഞു.
18 ലോത്ത് അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞതു: അങ്ങനെയല്ല കർത്താവേ;
19 നിനക്കു അടിയനോടു കൃപ തോന്നിയല്ലോ; എന്റെ ജീവനെ രക്ഷിപ്പാൻ എനിക്കു വലിയ കൃപ നീ കാണിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; പർവ്വതത്തിൽ ഓടി എത്തുവാൻ എനിക്കു കഴികയില്ല; പക്ഷേ എനിക്കു ദോഷം തട്ടി മരണം ഭവിക്കും.
20 ഇതാ, ഈ പട്ടണം സമീപമാകുന്നു; അവിടേക്കു എനിക്കു ഓടാം; അതു ചെറിയതുമാകുന്നു; ഞാൻ അവിടേക്കു ഓടിപ്പോകട്ടെ. അതു ചെറിയതല്ലോ; എന്നാൽ എനിക്കു ജീവരക്ഷ ഉണ്ടാകും.
21 അവൻ അവനോടു: ഇക്കാര്യത്തിലും ഞാൻ നിന്നെ കടാക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; നീ പറഞ്ഞ പട്ടണം ഞാൻ മറിച്ചുകളകയില്ല.
22 ബദ്ധപ്പെട്ടു അവിടേക്കു ഓടിപ്പോക; നീ അവിടെ എത്തുവോളം എനിക്കു ഒന്നും ചെയ്‍വാൻ കഴികയില്ല എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. അതു കൊണ്ടു ആ പട്ടണത്തിന്നു സോവർ എന്നു പേരായി.
23 ലോത്ത് സോവരിൽ കടന്നപ്പോൾ സൂര്യൻ ഉദിച്ചിരുന്നു.
24 യഹോവ സൊദോമിന്റെയും ഗൊമോരയുടെയും മേൽ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽനിന്നു, ആകാശത്തു നിന്നു തന്നെ, ഗന്ധകവും തീയും വർഷിപ്പിച്ചു.
25 ആ പട്ടണങ്ങൾക്കും പ്രദേശത്തിന്നും മുഴുവനും ആ പട്ടണങ്ങളിലെ സകലനിവാസികൾക്കും നിലത്തെ സസ്യങ്ങൾക്കും ഉന്മൂലനാശം വരുത്തി.
26 ലോത്തിന്റെ ഭാര്യ അവന്റെ പിന്നിൽനിന്നു തിരിഞ്ഞുനോക്കി ഉപ്പുതൂണായി ഭവിച്ചു.
27 അബ്രാഹാം രാവിലെ എഴുന്നേറ്റു താൻ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ നിന്നിരുന്ന സ്ഥലത്തു ചെന്നു,
28 സൊദോമിന്നും ഗൊമോരെക്കും ആ പ്രദേശത്തിലെ സകലദിക്കിന്നും നേരെ നോക്കി, ദേശത്തിലെ പുക തീച്ചൂളയിലെ പുകപോലെ പൊങ്ങുന്നതു കണ്ടു.
29 എന്നാൽ ആ പ്രദേശത്തിലെപട്ടണങ്ങളെ നശിപ്പിക്കുമ്പോൾ ദൈവം അബ്രാഹാമിനെ ഓർത്തു ലോത്ത് പാർത്ത പട്ടണങ്ങൾക്കു ഉന്മൂലനാശം വരുത്തുകയിൽ ലോത്തിനെ ആ ഉന്മൂലനാശത്തിൽനിന്നു വിടുവിച്ചു.
30 അനന്തരം ലോത്ത് സോവർ വിട്ടുപോയി; അവനും അവന്റെ രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാരും പർവ്വതത്തിൽ ചെന്നു പാർത്തു; സോവരിൽ പാർപ്പാൻ അവൻ ഭയപ്പെട്ടു; അവനും അവന്റെ രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാരും ഒരു ഗുഹയിൽ പാർത്തു.
31 അങ്ങനെയിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ മൂത്തവൾ ഇളയവളോടു: നമ്മുടെ അപ്പൻ വൃദ്ധനായിരിക്കുന്നു; ഭൂമിയിൽ എല്ലാടവും ഉള്ള നടപ്പുപോലെ നമ്മുടെ അടുക്കൽ വരുവാൻ ഭൂമിയിൽ ഒരു പുരുഷനും ഇല്ല.
32 വരിക; അപ്പനാൽ സന്തതി ലഭിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു അവനെ വീഞ്ഞുകുടിപ്പിച്ചു അവനോടുകൂടെ ശയിക്ക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
33 അങ്ങനെ അന്നു രാത്രി അവർ അപ്പനെ വീഞ്ഞുകുടിപ്പിച്ചു; മൂത്തവൾ അകത്തു ചെന്നു അപ്പനോടുകൂടെ ശയിച്ചു; അവൾ ശയിച്ചതും എഴുന്നേറ്റതും അവൻ അറിഞ്ഞില്ല.
34 പിറ്റെന്നാൾ മൂത്തവൾ ഇളയവളോടു: ഇന്നലെ രാത്രി ഞാൻ അപ്പനോടുകൂടെ ശയിച്ചു; നാം അവനെ ഇന്നു രാത്രിയും വീഞ്ഞു കുടിപ്പിക്ക; അപ്പനാൽ സന്തതി ലഭിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു നീയും അകത്തുചെന്നു അവനോടു കൂടെ ശയിക്ക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
35 അങ്ങനെ അന്നു രാത്രിയും അവർ അപ്പനെ വീഞ്ഞു കുടിപ്പിച്ചു; ഇളയവൾ ചെന്നു അവനോടു കൂടെ ശയിച്ചു; അവൾ ശയിച്ചതും എഴുന്നേറ്റതും അവൻ അറിഞ്ഞില്ല.
36 ഇങ്ങനെ ലോത്തിന്റെ രണ്ടു പുത്രിമാരും അപ്പനാൽ ഗർഭം ധരിച്ചു.
37 മൂത്തവൾ ഒരു മകനെ പ്രസവിച്ചു അവന്നു മോവാബ് എന്നു പേരിട്ടു; അവൻ ഇന്നുള്ള മോവാബ്യർക്കു പിതാവു.
38 ഇളയവളും ഒരു മകനെ പ്രസവിച്ചു; അവന്നു ബെൻ-അമ്മീ എന്നു പേരിട്ടു; അവൻ ഇന്നുള്ള അമ്മോന്യർക്കു പിതാവു.
1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Jeremiah 20 in Tamil and English
1 ઈમ્મેરનો પુત્ર યાજક પાશહૂર યહોવાના મંદિરના રક્ષકોનો ઉપરી હતો. તેણે યમિર્યાને આવી ભવિષ્યવાણી ભાખતો સાંભળ્યો,
Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 તેથી તેણે યમિર્યાની ધરપકડ કરી અને તેને કોરડાથી ફટકાર્યો, પછી તેણે તેને મંદિરના બિન્યામીન દરવાજા આગળ સાંકળોથી બાધ્યો.
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.
3 બીજા દિવસે સવારે પાશહૂરે યમિર્યાને હેડમાંથી છૂટો કર્યો ત્યારે યમિર્યાએ તેને કહ્યું, “યહોવા તને પાશહૂર નહિ કહે, પણ માગોર-મિસ્સાબીબ (સર્વત્ર ત્રાસ) કહેશે.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 કારણ કે યહોવા તારા પર તથા તારા સર્વ મિત્રો પર ભય મોકલશે અને તેઓના શત્રુઓની તરવારોથી તેઓને તું મૃત્યુ પામતાં જોશે. આખો યહૂદિયા હું બાબિલના રાજાને સોંપી દઇશ. તે તેમને કેદ કરીને બાબિલ લઇ જશે અને ત્યાં તરવારથી મારી નાખશે.
For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 આ શહેરની સર્વ સંપત્તિ, એના બધા ભંડારો અને કિમતી વસ્તુઓ, યહૂદિયાના રાજાનો બધો ખજાનો હું તેમના શત્રુઓને સોંપી દઇશ, શત્રુઓ લૂંટમાર કરીને એનો કબજો લેશે અને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે.
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 તું, પાશહૂર, અને તારું કુટુંબ કેદ પકડાશો, તમને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે, અને ત્યાં તમારું મોત થશે અને ત્યાં તમે દટાશો. તું અને તારા બધા મિત્રો, જેમને તેં ખોટી ભવિષ્યવાણી સંભળાવેલી છે.”‘
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 પછી મેં કહ્યું, “હે યહોવા, તમે મને યુકિતપૂર્વક છેતર્યો છે. તમારા સંદેશાઓ આપવા માટે તમે મને દબાણ કર્યુ. કારણ કે મારા કરતાં તમે અતિ બળવાન છો. પરંતુ હવે હું બધા દિવસો હાંસીપાત્ર થયો છું અને સર્વ લોકો મારી મશ્કરી કરે છે.
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 કેમ કે જ્યારે જ્યારે હું બોલું છું ત્યારે ત્યારે ઘાટાં પાડીને એક જ વાત કહેવાની છે, ‘હિંસા અને વિનાશ!’ હે યહોવા, તારી વાણી સંભળાવવાને કારણે આખો દિવસ મારે હાંસી અને નામોશી સહન કરવી પડે છે.”
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 હું જો એમ કહું કે, “હવે હું યહોવાને સંભારીશ નહિ, એને નામે બોલું જ નહિ.” તો તારી એ વાણી મારા અંગે અંગમાં ભંડારાયેલી આગની જેમ મારા અંતરમાં ભડભડી ઊઠે છે; અને હું તેને કાબૂમાં રાખવા મથું છું, પણ નથી રાખી શકતો.
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 ચારે બાજુથી હું તેઓની ધમકીઓ ઉચ્ચારાતી સાંભળું છું અને મને ડર લાગે છે, તેઓ કહે છે, “આપણે ફરિયાદ કરીશું. જેઓ મારા મિત્રો હતા તેઓ સાવધાનીથી મને નિહાળે છે કે, ક્યારે ભયંકર ભૂલ કરી બેસું. તે પોતે જ ફસાઇ જશે અને ત્યારે આપણે તેના પર આપણું વૈર વાળીશું. તેઓ આ પ્રમાણે કહે છે.”
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 પરંતુ મહાન યોદ્ધાની જેમ યહોવા મારી પડખે ઊભા છે. તે પરાક્રમી તથા ભયાવહ છે. મારા જુલમગારો ઠોકર ખાશે, તેઓ નહિ ફાવે, તેઓ નિષ્ફળ જતાં ભારે ફજેત થશે; તેઓ બધી રીતે અપમાનિત થશે અને સદાને માટે તેઓ પર કલંક લાગશે.
But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 હે સૈન્યોના દેવ યહોવા, તમે સતનું પારખું કરો છો, મારા મનનો અને હૃદયનો તાગ લો છો; અને હું ઇચ્છું છું કે હું તમને એમના પર બદલો વાળતા જોવા પામુંં, કારણ કે મેં મારો દાવો ફકત તમને સોંપ્યો છે.
But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13 યહોવાના ગીત ગાઓ, એમનાં ગુણગાન કરો. કારણ, તેણે દુષ્ટોના હાથમાંથી દરિદ્રીઓનું જીવન ઉગારી લીધુ છે.
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 તેમ છતાં મારા જન્મનો દિવસ શાપિત થાઓ!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 તને પુત્ર થયો છે એવી વધામણી મારા પિતાને આપનાર માણસ શાપિત થાઓ.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 તે માણસના હાલ એ પુરાતન નગરોના જેવા થાવ. જેનો યહોવાએ દયા રાખ્યા વગર નાશ કર્યો છે, ભલે તેને આખો દિવસ રણનાદ સંભળાય; સવારમાં આર્તનાદ અને બપોરે યુદ્ધનાદ સંભળાય,
And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 કારણ કે, તેણે મને ગર્ભમાં જ મારી ન નાખ્યો, તો મારી માતા જ મારી કબર બની હોત, તેનું ઉદર સદા માટે મોટું રહ્યું હોત.
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 હું કષ્ટો અને દુ:ખ સહન કરવા માટે, શરમાળ જીવન જીવવા માટે શું કામ ગર્ભમાંથી બહાર આવ્યો?
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
