ആവർത്തനപുസ്തകം 10
1 ആ സമയത്ത് യഹോവ എന്നോട് അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു: “ആദ്യത്തേതുപോലെ രണ്ടു കൽപ്പലകകൾ ചെത്തിയെടുത്ത് പർവതത്തിൽ എന്റെ സന്നിധിയിലേക്കു കയറിവരിക. മരംകൊണ്ടുള്ള ഒരു പേടകവും ഉണ്ടാക്കുക.
౧అప్పుడు యెహోవా “నువ్వు మొదటి పలకల వంటివి రెండు రాతిపలకలు చెక్కి, కొండ ఎక్కి నా దగ్గరికి రా. అలాగే చెక్కతో ఒక పెట్టె చేసుకో.
2 നീ പൊട്ടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞ ആദ്യത്തെ കൽപ്പലകകളിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന വചനങ്ങൾ ഞാൻ ഈ കൽപ്പലകകളിൽ എഴുതും. അവ നീ ആ പേടകത്തിൽ വെക്കണം.”
౨నువ్వు పగలగొట్టిన మొదటి పలకల మీద ఉన్న మాటలను నేను ఈ పలకల మీద రాసిన తరవాత వాటిని నువ్వు ఆ పెట్టెలో ఉంచాలి” అని నాతో చెప్పాడు.
3 അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ ഖദിരമരംകൊണ്ട് ഒരു പേടകമുണ്ടാക്കി. ആദ്യത്തേതുപോലെയുള്ള രണ്ടു കൽപ്പലകകൾ ചെത്തിയുണ്ടാക്കി; കൈയിൽ ആ രണ്ടു കൽപ്പലകകളുമായി ഞാൻ പർവതത്തിൽ കയറി.
౩కాబట్టి నేను తుమ్మకర్రతో ఒక పెట్టె చేయించి మొదటి పలకలవంటి రెండు రాతి పలకలను చెక్కి వాటిని పట్టుకుని కొండ ఎక్కాను.
4 മഹാസമ്മേളനം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന ദിവസം യഹോവ പർവതത്തിൽവെച്ച് അഗ്നിയുടെ മധ്യത്തിൽ നിങ്ങളോടു വിളംബരംചെയ്ത പത്തു കൽപ്പനകളും, ആദ്യത്തെ ഫലകങ്ങളിലെ എഴുത്തുപോലെതന്നെ, യഹോവ ആ ഫലകങ്ങളിൽ എഴുതി. യഹോവ അവ എനിക്കു നൽകി.
౪మీరు సమావేశమైన రోజున ఆయన ఆ కొండ మీద అగ్నిలో నుండి మీతో పలికిన పది ఆజ్ఞలనూ మొదట రాసినట్టే ఆ పలకల మీద రాశాడు. యెహోవా వాటిని నాకిచ్చిన తరువాత నేను కొండ దిగి వచ్చి
5 അതിനുശേഷം ഞാൻ പർവതത്തിൽനിന്നും ഇറങ്ങിവന്ന് ഞാൻ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയ പേടകത്തിൽ ഫലകങ്ങൾ വെച്ചു. യഹോവ എന്നോടു കൽപ്പിച്ചതുപോലെ അവ അവിടെത്തന്നെ ഉണ്ട്.
౫నేను చేసిన మందసంలో ఆ పలకలు ఉంచాను. అదుగో, యెహోవా నాకాజ్ఞాపించినట్టు వాటిని దానిలో ఉంచాను.
6 ഇസ്രായേൽമക്കൾ യാഖാന്യരുടെ കിണറുകൾക്കരികെനിന്ന് മൊസേരോത്തിലേക്കു യാത്രതിരിച്ചു. അഹരോൻ അവിടെ മരിച്ചു. അദ്ദേഹത്തെ അവിടെ സംസ്കരിച്ചു. അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പുത്രനായ എലെയാസാർ അവനുശേഷം പുരോഹിതനായി.
౬ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు యహకానీయులకు చెందిన బెయేరోతు నుండి బయలుదేరి మోసేరుకు వచ్చినప్పుడు అహరోను చనిపోయాడు. అక్కడ అతణ్ణి సమాధి చేశారు. అతని కొడుకు ఎలియాజరు అతని స్థానంలో యాజకుడయ్యాడు.
7 അവർ അവിടെനിന്ന് ഗുദ്ഗോദെയിലേക്കും ഗുദ്ഗോദെയിൽനിന്ന് നീരുറവുകളുള്ള നാടായ യൊത്-ബാഥായ്ക്കും യാത്രയായി.
౭అక్కడ నుండి వారు గుద్గోదకు, గుద్గోద నుండి నీటివాగులతో నిండి ఉండే యొత్బాతా ప్రాంతానికి ప్రయాణమయ్యారు.
8 അക്കാലത്ത് യഹോവ തന്റെ ഉടമ്പടിയുടെ പേടകം ചുമക്കുന്നതിനും ഇന്നുവരെ തുടർന്നുവരുന്നതുപോലെ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ നിന്നുകൊണ്ട് ശുശ്രൂഷിക്കുന്നതിനും അവിടത്തെ നാമത്തിൽ അനുഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നതിനും ലേവിഗോത്രത്തെ വേർതിരിച്ചു.
౮అప్పటి వరకూ జరుగుతున్నట్టు యెహోవా నిబంధన మందసాన్ని మోయడానికి, యెహోవా సన్నిధిలో నిలబడి సేవించడానికి, ప్రజలను ఆయన పేరిట దీవించడానికి ఆ సమయంలో యెహోవా లేవీ గోత్రం వారిని ఎన్నుకున్నాడు.
9 അതുനിമിത്തം ലേവിക്ക് തന്റെ സഹോദന്മാരോടൊപ്പം ഓഹരിയും അവകാശവും ലഭിച്ചില്ല. നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അവരോടു വാഗ്ദാനം ചെയ്തപ്രകാരം യഹോവതന്നെയാണ് അവരുടെ ഓഹരി.
౯అందుకే లేవీయులు తమ సోదరులతో పాటు స్వాస్థ్యం పొందలేదు. మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా వారితో చెప్పినట్టు వారి స్వాస్థ్యం ఆయనే.
10 ഞാൻ ആദ്യത്തേതുപോലെ നാൽപ്പതുരാവും നാൽപ്പതുപകലും പർവതത്തിൽ താമസിച്ചു. ഈ പ്രാവശ്യവും യഹോവ എന്റെ അപേക്ഷ കേട്ടു. നിന്നെ നശിപ്പിക്കാതിരിക്കാൻ യഹോവ തീരുമാനിച്ചു.
౧౦ఇంతకు ముందులాగా నేను నలభై పగళ్లు, నలభై రాత్రులు కొండ మీద ఉన్నప్పుడు యెహోవా నా మనవి ఆలకించి మిమ్మల్ని నాశనం చేయడం మానుకున్నాడు.
11 യഹോവ എന്നോട്, “എഴുന്നേൽക്കുക, ഞാൻ അവർക്കു നൽകുമെന്ന് അവരുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാരോടു വാഗ്ദാനംചെയ്ത ദേശം അവർ ചെന്ന് അവകാശമാക്കാൻ നീ ജനത്തിന്റെ മുമ്പിലായി നടക്കുക” എന്നു കൽപ്പിച്ചു.
౧౧యెహోవా నాతో “ఈ ప్రజలు నేను వారి పూర్వీకులకు వాగ్దానం చేసిన దేశంలో ప్రవేశించి స్వాధీనం చేసుకొనేలా వారికి ముందుగా నడువు” అని చెప్పాడు.
12 അതുകൊണ്ട് ഇസ്രായേലേ, നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെടുകയും അവിടത്തോടുള്ള അനുസരണത്തിൽ ജീവിക്കുകയും അവിടത്തെ സ്നേഹിക്കുകയും നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയെ പൂർണഹൃദയത്തോടും പൂർണാത്മാവോടും സേവിക്കുകയും
౧౨కాబట్టి ఇశ్రాయేలూ, మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాకు భయపడి ఆయన మార్గాల్లో నడుస్తూ, ఆయన్ని ప్రేమించి, మీ పూర్ణ మనస్సుతో, మీ పూర్ణాత్మతో సేవించు.
13 ഞാൻ ഇന്നു നിങ്ങളോടു കൽപ്പിക്കുന്ന യഹോവയുടെ കൽപ്പനകളും ഉത്തരവുകളും, നിനക്കു നന്മയുണ്ടാകാൻ അനുസരിക്കുകയും അല്ലാതെ മറ്റെന്താണ് യഹോവ നിന്നോട് ആവശ്യപ്പെടുന്നത്?
౧౩మీ మేలు కోసం ఈ రోజు నేను మీకు ఆజ్ఞాపించే యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞలను, కట్టడలను పాటించడం తప్ప మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మిమ్మల్ని ఇంకేమి కోరుతున్నాడు?
14 ഇതാ, സ്വർഗവും സ്വർഗാധിസ്വർഗങ്ങളും ഭൂമിയും അതിലുള്ള സകലതും നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയ്ക്കുള്ളതാകുന്നു.
౧౪చూడు, ఆకాశ మహాకాశాలు, భూమి, వాటిలో ఉన్నదంతా మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవావే.
15 നിന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാരോടുമാത്രം യഹോവയ്ക്കു പ്രസാദം തോന്നുകയും അവരെ സ്നേഹിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. അവർക്കുശേഷം അവരുടെ പിൻഗാമികളായ നിങ്ങളെ ഇന്നുള്ളതുപോലെതന്നെ എല്ലാ ജനതകളിൽനിന്നും തെരഞ്ഞെടുത്തു.
౧౫అయితే యెహోవా మీ పూర్వీకులను ప్రేమించి వారి విషయంలో సంతోషించి వారి సంతానమైన మిమ్మల్ని మిగిలిన ప్రజలందరిలో ఈ రోజు ఏర్పాటు చేసుకున్నాడు.
16 അതുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങൾ ഹൃദയത്തിന്റെ അഗ്രചർമം പരിച്ഛേദനം ചെയ്യുക. ഇനി ഒരിക്കലും ദുശ്ശാഠ്യമുള്ളവരായിരിക്കരുത്.
౧౬కాబట్టి మీరు మూర్ఖంగా ప్రవర్తించకుండా సున్నతి లేని మీ హృదయాలకు సున్నతి చేసుకోండి.
17 നിങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ദേവാധിദൈവവും കർത്താധികർത്താവും സർവശക്തനും മഹാനും ഉന്നതനുമായ ദൈവം ആകുന്നു. അവിടന്ന് മുഖപക്ഷം കാണിക്കുകയോ കൈക്കൂലി വാങ്ങുകയോ ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല.
౧౭ఎందుకంటే మీ దేవుడు యెహోవా దేవుళ్లకే దేవుడు, ప్రభువులకే ప్రభువు. ఆయనే మహా దేవుడు, పరాక్రమవంతుడు, భయంకరుడైన దేవుడు. ఆయన మానవులెవరినీ లక్ష్య పెట్టడు. లంచం పుచ్చుకోడు.
18 അവിടന്ന് അനാഥർക്കും വിധവമാർക്കുംവേണ്ടി നീതി നടപ്പാക്കുന്നു. അവിടന്ന് നിങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ താമസിക്കുന്ന പ്രവാസികളെ സ്നേഹിച്ച് അവർക്കു ഭക്ഷണവും വസ്ത്രവും നൽകുന്നു.
౧౮ఆయన అనాథలకు, విధవరాళ్ళకు న్యాయం తీరుస్తాడు, పరదేశుల మీద దయ చూపి వారికి అన్నవస్త్రాలు అనుగ్రహిస్తాడు.
19 അതുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങളും പ്രവാസികളെ സ്നേഹിക്കുക. നിങ്ങളും ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ പ്രവാസികളായിരുന്നല്ലോ.
౧౯మీరు ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో ప్రవాసులుగా ఉన్నవారే కాబట్టి పరదేశి పట్ల జాలి చూపండి.
20 നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയെ നീ ഭയപ്പെട്ട്, അവിടത്തെ സേവിക്കണം. യഹോവയോട് പറ്റിച്ചേർന്ന്, അവിടത്തെ നാമത്തിൽ ശപഥംചെയ്യണം.
౨౦మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాకు భయపడి, ఆయన్ను సేవించి, ఆయన్నే హత్తుకుని, ఆయన పేరటే ప్రమాణం చేయండి.
21 അവിടന്നാകുന്നു നിന്റെ പുകഴ്ച; അവിടന്നാകുന്നു നിന്റെ ദൈവം. നീ കണ്ണുകൊണ്ടു കണ്ടിട്ടുള്ള മഹത്തും ഭയങ്കരവുമായ പ്രവൃത്തികൾ ചെയ്തത് അവിടന്ന് ആകുന്നു.
౨౧ఆయనే మీ స్తుతికి పాత్రుడు. మీరు కళ్ళారా చూస్తుండగా భీకరమైన గొప్ప కార్యాలు మీ కోసం చేసిన మీ దేవుడు ఆయనే.
22 നിന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാർ എഴുപത് പേരാണ് ഈജിപ്റ്റിലേക്കു പോയത്. ഇപ്പോൾ നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ നിന്നെ ആകാശത്തുള്ള നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ എണ്ണത്തിൽ വർധിപ്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
౨౨మీ పూర్వీకులు 70 మంది గుంపుగా ఐగుప్తుకు వెళ్ళారు. ఇప్పుడైతే మీ యెహోవా దేవుడు ఆకాశనక్షత్రాల్లాగా మిమ్మల్ని విస్తరింపజేశాడు.
