സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 7
1 എന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവേ, നിന്നെ ഞാൻ ശരണം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു; എന്നെ വേട്ടയാടുന്ന എല്ലാവരുടെയും കയ്യിൽ നിന്നു എന്നെ രക്ഷിച്ചു വിടുവിക്കേണമേ.
2 അവൻ സിംഹം എന്നപോലെ എന്നെ കീറിക്കളയരുതേ; വിടുവിപ്പാൻ ആരുമില്ലാതിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ എന്നെ ചീന്തിക്കളയരുതേ.
3 എന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവേ, ഞാൻ ഇതു ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ, എന്റെ പക്കൽ നീതികേടുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ,
4 എനിക്കു ബന്ധുവായിരുന്നവനോടു ഞാൻ ദോഷം ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ, - ഹേതുകൂടാതെ എനിക്കു വൈരിയായിരുന്നവനെ ഞാൻ വിടുവിച്ചുവല്ലോ -
5 ശത്രു എന്റെ പ്രാണനെ പിന്തുടർന്നു പിടിക്കട്ടെ; അവൻ എന്റെ ജീവനെ നിലത്തിട്ടു ചവിട്ടട്ടെ; എന്റെ മാനത്തെ പൂഴിയിൽ തള്ളിയിടട്ടെ. സേലാ.
6 യഹോവേ, കോപത്തോടെ എഴുന്നേൽക്കേണമേ; എന്റെ വൈരികളുടെ ക്രോധത്തോടു എതിർത്തുനിൽക്കേണമേ; എനിക്കു വേണ്ടി ഉണരേണമേ; നീ ന്യായവിധി കല്പിച്ചുവല്ലോ.
7 ജാതികളുടെ സംഘം നിന്നെ ചുറ്റിനിൽക്കട്ടെ; നീ അവർക്കു മീതെ കൂടി ഉയരത്തിലേക്കു മടങ്ങേണമേ.
8 യഹോവ ജാതികളെ ന്യായംവിധിക്കുന്നു; യഹോവേ, എന്റെ നീതിക്കും പരമാർത്ഥതെക്കും തക്കവണ്ണം എന്നെ വിധിക്കേണമേ;
9 ദുഷ്ടന്റെ ദുഷ്ടത തീർന്നുപോകട്ടെ; നീതിമാനെ നീ ഉറപ്പിക്കേണമേ. നീതിമാനായ ദൈവം ഹൃദയങ്ങളെയും അന്തരിന്ദ്രിയങ്ങളെയും ശോധനചെയ്യുന്നുവല്ലോ.
10 എന്റെ പരിച ദൈവത്തിന്റെ പക്കൽ ഉണ്ടു; അവൻ ഹൃദയപരമാർത്ഥികളെ രക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.
11 ദൈവം നീതിയുള്ള ന്യായാധിപതിയാകുന്നു; ദൈവം ദിവസംപ്രതി കോപിക്കുന്നു.
12 മനം തിരിയുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ അവൻ തന്റെ വാളിന്നു മൂർച്ചകൂട്ടും; അവൻ തന്റെ വില്ലു കുലെച്ചു ഒരുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
13 അവൻ മരണാസ്ത്രങ്ങളെ അവന്റെ നേരെ തൊടുത്തു. തന്റെ ശരങ്ങളെ തീയമ്പുകളാക്കി തീർത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
14 ഇതാ, അവന്നു നീതികേടിനെ നോവു കിട്ടുന്നു; അവൻ കഷ്ടത്തെ ഗർഭം ധരിച്ചു വഞ്ചനയെ പ്രസവിക്കുന്നു.
15 അവൻ ഒരു കുഴി കുഴിച്ചുണ്ടാക്കി, കുഴിച്ച കുഴിയിൽ താൻ തന്നേ വീണു.
16 അവന്റെ വേണ്ടാതനം അവന്റെ തലയിലേക്കു തിരിയും; അവന്റെ ബലാൽക്കാരം അവന്റെ നെറുകയിൽ തന്നേ വീഴും.
17 ഞാൻ യഹോവയെ അവന്റെ നീതിക്കു തക്കവണ്ണം സ്തുതിക്കും; അത്യുന്നതനായ യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തിന്നു സ്തോത്രം പാടും.
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
2 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
3 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
4 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
5 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
6 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
7 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
8 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
9 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
10 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
11 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
12 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
13 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
14 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
15 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
16 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
17 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
18 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
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?
