AzhwAr tells the diseases that just as emperumAn [as krishNa] removed the dangers which befell cows due to indhra et al, he has come to remove the distress which I suffered owing to you [referring to diseases]. He tells them not to suffer the fate of kamsan and to leave.

Simple Translation
Oh, diseases which are very cruel! Oh, diseases which pierce through the physical form! I shall tell you a word; listen to it. You would see that [my heart] is the divine temple, where emperumAn, the benefactor, who grazed cows [as krishNa], resides desirously. Oh, diseases, who are pushing [jIvAthmAs] into the ocean of births! I shall tell you emphatically. There is no benefit for you here. You could walk away from here. My physical form and AthmA are not similar to the way in which they were earlier. The AthmA is now protected by ISvaran.
vyAkhyAnam
uRRa uRu piNi nOygAL – oh, diseases who are oppressing me since time immemorial!
In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that the diseases have been the cause for AzhwAr’s sorrows, since time immemorial. piNi – sorrow; nOy – disease
uRRa nOygAL uRu piNigAL – diseases which are distinct [not like the general diseases] and diseases which pierce through the physical form. I shall tell you all a word; listen to it well. When they ask as to what it is …
peRRangaL mEykkum pirAnAr pENum thirukkOyil kaNdIr – just as emperumAn incarnated as the obedient son of yaSOdhAp pirAtti, he came as a benefactor for me too. pENum thirukkOyil – since emperumAn entered AzhwAr’s divine form desirously, he mentions this as equivalent to the divine abodes where emperumAn resides, mercifully. kaNdIr – is this not explicit?
In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that krishNa has benevolence towards his followers as his identification.
innam – aRRam uraikkinREn – innam – once again; I am telling you all, emphatically.
Azh vinaigAL – oh, those who pushed down deeply, such that we are completely separated from ISvaran [the controller of all]
Azh vinaigAL – this refers to sins which are unfathomable [their cruelty could not be estimated]. There is no benefit for you here.
kaNdIr – Haven’t you seen the one who grazes cows? AzhwAr considers that just as he had seen emperumAn, they [diseases] too have seen emperumAn.
nadamin – Try to walk away from here.
paNdu anRu – it is not the old times when I had been caught by the bewildering entities worldly pursuits] created by the one with amazing activities [emperumAn]. Today, when emperumAn has said, as in bhagavath gIthA 18.66 “mA Sucha:” (Do not grieve}, all the sins have fallen by the wayside, since emperumAn has liberated me from all the sins.
In the svApadhESam, it is additionally mentioned that AzhwAr is now well protected.
We shall next consider the 7th pAsuram of this thirumozhi.
