1 యెహోవా, నీ దిక్కునకు చూచి నా ఆత్మను ఎత్తి కొనుచున్నాను.

2 నా దేవా, నీయందు నమి్మక యుంచియున్నాను నన్ను సిగ్గుపడనియ్యకుము నా శత్రువులను నన్నుగూర్చి ఉత్సహింప నియ్యకుము

3 నీకొరకు కనిపెట్టువారిలో ఎవడును సిగ్గునొందడు. హేతువులేకుండనే ద్రోహము చేయువారు సిగ్గు నొందుదురు.

4 యెహోవా, నీ మార్గములను నాకు తెలియజేయుము నీత్రోవలను నాకు తేటపరచుము.

5 నన్ను నీ సత్యము ననుసరింపజేసి నాకు ఉపదేశము చేయుము. నీవే నా రక్షణకర్తవైన దేవుడవు దినమెల్ల నీకొరకు కనిపెట్టుచున్నాను.

6 యెహోవా, నీ కరుణాతిశయములను జ్ఞాపకము చేసి కొనుము నీ కృపాతిశయములను జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనుము అవి పూర్వమునుండి యున్నవే గదా.

7 నా బాల్యపాపములను నా అతిక్రమములను జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనకుము. యెహోవా నీ కృపనుబట్టి నీ దయచొప్పున నన్ను జ్ఞాపకములో ఉంచు కొనుము.

8 యెహోవా ఉత్తముడును యథార్థ వంతుడునై యున్నాడు కావున తన మార్గమునుగూర్చి ఆయన పాపులకు ఉపదేశించును.

9 న్యాయవిధులనుబట్టి ఆయన దీనులను నడిపించును తన మార్గమును దీనులకు నేర్పును.

10 ఆయన చేసిన నిబంధనను ఆయన నియమించిన శాసన ములను గైకొనువారి విషయములో యెహోవాత్రోవలన్నియు కృపాసత్యమయములై యున్నవి

11 యెహోవా, నా పాపము బహు ఘోరమైనది నీ నామమునుబట్టి దానిని క్షమింపుము.

12 యెహోవాయందు భయభక్తులుగలవాడెవడో వాడు కోరుకొనవలసిన మార్గమును ఆయన వానికి బోధించును.

13 అతని ప్రాణము నెమ్మదిగా ఉండును అతని సంతానము భూమిని స్వతంత్రించుకొనును.

14 యెహోవా మర్మము ఆయనయందు భయభక్తులు గల వారికి తెలిసియున్నది ఆయన తన నిబంధనను వారికి తెలియజేయును.

15 నా కనుదృష్టి యెల్లప్పుడు యెహోవావైపునకే తిరిగి యున్నది ఆయన నా పాదములను వలలోనుండి విడిపించును.

16 నేను ఏకాకిని, బాధపడువాడను నా వైపు తిరిగి నన్ను కరుణింపుము.

17 నా హృదయవేదనలు అతివిస్తారములు ఇక్కట్టులోనుండి నన్ను విడిపింపుము.

18 నా బాధను నా వేదనను కనుగొనుము నా పాపములన్నిటిని క్షమింపుము.

19 నా శత్రువులను చూడుము, వారు అనేకులు క్రూరద్వేషముతో వారు నన్ను ద్వేషించుచున్నారు.

20 నేను నీ శరణుజొచ్చి యున్నాను, నన్ను సిగ్గుపడ నియ్యకుము నా ప్రాణమును కాపాడుము, నన్ను రక్షింపుము.

21 నీకొరకు నేను కనిపెట్టుచున్నాను యథార్థతయు నిర్దోషత్వమును నన్ను సంరక్షించును గాక.

22 దేవా, వారి బాధలన్నిటిలోనుండి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను విమోచింపుము.

1 A Psalm of David.

2 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

3 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

4 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

5 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.

6 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

7 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

8 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

9 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

10 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

11 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

12 For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

13 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

14 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

15 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

16 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

17 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

18 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

19 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

20 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

21 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

22 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

23 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Nahum 3 in Tamil and English

1 இரத்தப்பழிகளின் நகரத்திற்கு ஐயோ! அது வஞ்சகத்தினாலும் கொடுமையினாலும் நிறைந்திருக்கிறது; கொள்ளை ஓயாமல் நடக்கிறது.
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

2 சவுக்குகளின் ஓசையும், உருளைகளின் அதிர்ச்சியும், குதிரைகளின் பாய்ச்சலும், இரதங்கள் கடகடவென்று ஓடுகிற சத்தமும்,
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

3 வீரர் குதிரை ஏறுகிறதும், பட்டயங்கள் துலங்குகிறதும், ஈட்டிகள் மின்னுகிறதும் வெட்டுண்டவர்களின் திரளும், பிரேதங்களின் ஏராளமும் அங்கே உண்டாயிருக்கும்; பிணங்களுக்குத் தொகையில்லை; அவர்கள் பிணங்களில் இடறிவிழுகிறார்கள்.
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

4 தன் வேசித்தனங்களினால் ஜாதிகளையும் தன் சூனியங்களினால் வம்சங்களையும் விற்கிற மகா சூனியக்காரியும் ரூபவதியுமாயிருக்கிற வேசியினுடைய திரளான வேசித்தனங்களினிமித்தம்,
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

5 இதோ, நான் உனக்கு விரோதமாக வந்து உன் வஸ்திரத்து ஓரங்களை உன் முகமட்டும் தூக்கியெடுத்து, ஜாதிகளுக்கு உன் நிர்வாணத்தையும் ராஜ்யங்களுக்கு உன் மானத்தையும் தெரியப்பண்ணி,
Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

6 உன்மேல் தீட்டானவைகளை எறிந்து உன்னைக் கனவீனப்படுத்தி, உன்னை வேடிக்கையாக்கிப்போடுவேன் என்று சேனைகளின் கர்த்தர் சொல்லுகிறார்.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.

7 அப்பொழுது உன்னைக் காண்கிறவனெல்லாம் நினிவே பாழாய்ப்போயிற்று, அதற்காகப் புலம்புகிறவர்கள் யார்? ஆறுதல் சொல்லுகிறவர்களை உனக்கு எங்கே தேடுவேனென்று சொல்லி உன்னைவிட்டோடிப்போவான்.
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

8 நதிகள் மத்தியிலிருந்த நோ அம்மோனைப்பார்க்கிலும் நீ சிரேஷ்டமோ? அதைச் சுற்றிலும் தண்ணீர் இருந்தது; சமுத்திரம் அதின் அரணும், சமுத்திரக்கால் அதின் மதிலுமாயிருந்தது.
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

9 எத்தியோப்பியாவும் எகிப்தும் எண்ணிறந்த சேனையால் அதற்குப் பெலனாக இருந்தது; பூத்தும் லுூபீமும் அதற்குச் சகாயமாயிருந்தது.
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

10 ஆயினும் அவள் குடிவிலக்கப்பட்டுச் சிறையிருப்பிலே கொண்டுபோகப்பட்டாள்; அவள் குழந்தைகள் எல்லா வீதிகளின் முகனைகளிலும் மோதியடிக்கப்பட்டார்கள்; அவளுடைய கனவான்கள்பேரில் சீட்டுப்போட்டார்கள்; அவளுடைய பெரியவர்கள் எல்லாரும் சங்கிலிகளால் கட்டப்பட்டார்கள்.
Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

11 நீயும் வெறிகொண்டு ஒளித்துக்கொள்வாய்; நீயும் உன் சத்துருவுக்குத் தப்ப அரணான கோட்டையைத் தேடுவாய்.
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.

12 உன் அரண்களெல்லாம் முதல்பழுக்கும் பழங்களுள்ள அத்திமரங்களைப்போல இருக்கும்; அவைகள் குலுக்கப்பட்டால் அவைகளின் பழம் தின்கிறவன் வாயிலே விழும்.
All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

13 இதோ, உன் நடுவில் இருக்கிற ஜனங்கள் பேடிகள்; உன் தேசத்தின் வாசல்கள் உன் சத்துருவுக்குமுன் திறவுண்டுபோகும்; அக்கினி உன் தாழ்ப்பாள்களைப் பட்சிக்கும்.
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

14 முற்றிக்கைக்குத் தண்ணீர்மொண்டு வை, உன் அரண்களைப் பலப்படுத்து; சேற்றிலே போய்க் களிமண் மிதி, சூளையைக் கெட்டிப்படுத்து.
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.

15 அங்கே அக்கினி உன்னைப் பட்சிக்கும், பட்டயம் உன்னைச் சங்கரிக்கும்; அது பச்சைக்கிளிகளைப்போல் உன்னைப் பட்சித்துப்போடும்; உன்னைப் பச்சைக்கிளிகளத்தனையாக்கிக்கொள், உன்னை வெட்டுக்கிளிகளத்தனையாக்கிக்கொள்.
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.

16 உன் வர்த்தகரை வானத்து நட்சத்திரங்களிலும் அதிகமாக்கினாய்; இந்த பச்சைக்கிளிகள் பரவிப் பறந்துபோகும்.
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.

17 உன் மகுடவர்த்தனர் வெட்டுக்கிளிகளுக்கும் உன் தளகர்த்தர் பெருங்கிளிகளுக்கும் சமானமாயிருக்கிறார்கள்; அவைகள் குளிர்ச்சியான நாளில் வேலிகளில் பாளையமிறங்கி, சூரியன் உதித்தமாத்திரத்தில் பறந்துபோம்; பின்பு அவைகள் இருக்கும் இடமின்னதென்று தெரியாது.
Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

18 அசீரியா ராஜாவே, உன் மேய்ப்பர்கள் உறங்குவார்கள்; உன் பிரபலஸ்தர் படுத்திருப்பார்கள்; உன் ஜனங்கள் பர்வதங்களின்மேல் சிதறியிருக்கிறார்கள், அவைகளைக் கூட்டிச் சேர்ப்பவன் இல்லை.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

19 உன் நொறுங்குதலுக்குப் பரிகாரம் இல்லை; உன் காரியம் கொடியது; உன் செய்தியைக் கேட்பவர் யாவரும் உன்பேரில் கைகொட்டுவார்கள்; உன் பொல்லாப்பு எந்நேரமும் யார்பேரிலேதான் பாயாமற்போயிற்று?
There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
