യെഹെസ്കേൽ 29
1 പത്താംവർഷം പത്താംമാസം പന്ത്രണ്ടാംതീയതി, യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:
౧బబులోను చెరలో ఉన్న కాలంలో, పదో సంవత్సరం పదో నెల పన్నెండో రోజు యెహోవా నాకీ విషయం తెలియచేశాడు.
2 “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, നിന്റെ മുഖം ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവായ ഫറവോനെതിരേ തിരിച്ച് അദ്ദേഹത്തിനും മുഴുവൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനും എതിരായി പ്രവചിക്കുക.
౨“నరపుత్రుడా, నీ ముఖాన్ని ఐగుప్తురాజు ఫరో వైపు తిప్పి అతని గురించి, ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతటిని గురించి ప్రవచించు. యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే
3 അവനോട് ഇപ്രകാരം പറയുക: ‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവായ ഫറവോനേ, ഞാൻ നിനക്ക് എതിരാകുന്നു. നദികളുടെ മധ്യത്തിൽ കിടക്കുന്ന മഹാഭീകരസത്വമേ, “നൈൽനദി എനിക്കുള്ളത്; ഞാൻ അതിനെ എനിക്കായി നിർമിച്ചു,” എന്നു നീ പറയുന്നല്ലോ.
౩ఐగుప్తు రాజు ఫరో, నైలునదిలో పడుకున్న పెద్దమొసలీ, నేను నీకు విరోధిని. నైలునది నాది, నేనే దాన్ని కలగచేశాను, అని నువ్వు చెప్పుకుంటున్నావు.
4 എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ നിന്റെ താടിയെല്ലിൽ ചൂണ്ടൽ കൊളുത്തും; നിന്റെ പ്രവാഹങ്ങളിലെ മത്സ്യങ്ങൾ നിന്റെ ചെതുമ്പലിൽ പറ്റിയിരിക്കാൻ ഇടയാക്കും. നിന്റെ ചെതുമ്പലിൽ പറ്റിയിരിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാ മത്സ്യങ്ങളോടുംകൂടെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ നദിയിൽനിന്ന് വലിച്ചുകയറ്റും.
౪నేను నీ దవడకు గాలాలు తగిలిస్తాను. నీ నైలు నదిలోని చేపలను నీ పొలుసులకు అంటుకునేలా చేస్తాను. నీ నది మధ్యలో నుంచి నిన్నూ నీ పొలుసులకు అంటిన చేపలన్నిటినీ బయటికి లాగేస్తాను.
5 ഞാൻ നിന്നെ മരുഭൂമിയിൽ എറിഞ്ഞുകളയും, നിന്നെയും നിന്റെ നദിയിലെ സകലമത്സ്യങ്ങളെയുംതന്നെ. നീ തുറസ്സായസ്ഥലത്തു വീണുപോകും, ആരും നിന്നെ ശേഖരിക്കുകയോ കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുകയില്ല. ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ഭൂമിയിലെ മൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ആകാശത്തിലെ പറവകൾക്കും ആഹാരമാക്കിത്തീർക്കും.
౫నిన్నూ నైలు నది చేపలన్నిటినీ ఎడారిలో పారబోస్తాను. నువ్వు నేల మీద పడతావు. నిన్నెవరూ ఎత్తలేరు, లేపరు. నిన్ను అడవి జంతువులకు ఆకాశపక్షులకు ఆహారంగా ఇస్తాను!
6 അപ്പോൾ ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ വസിക്കുന്നവരെല്ലാം ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അറിയും. “‘ഇസ്രായേൽജനത്തിന് നീ ഒരു ഓടക്കോലായിട്ടാണല്ലോ ഇരുന്നത്.
౬అప్పుడు నేను యెహోవానని ఐగుప్తీయులంతా తెలుసుకుంటారు. ఐగుప్తు, ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు రెల్లుపుల్లలాగా ఉంది.
7 അവർ കൈകൊണ്ടു നിന്നെ പിടിച്ചപ്പോൾ നീ പിളർത്തി അവരുടെ തോൾ കീറിക്കളഞ്ഞു. അവർ നിന്റെമേൽ ചാരിയപ്പോൾ നീ ഒടിയുകയും അവരുടെ നടുവെല്ലാം തകർന്നുപോകുകയും ചെയ്തു.
౭వాళ్ళు నిన్ను చేత పట్టుకున్నప్పుడు నువ్వు విరిగిపోయి వారి పక్కలో గుచ్చుకున్నావు. వాళ్ళు నీ మీద ఆనుకుంటే నువ్వు వాళ్ళ కాళ్ళు విరగ్గొట్టి వారి నడుములు బెణికేలా చేశావు.”
8 “‘അതുകൊണ്ട് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഞാൻ നിന്റെനേരേ വാൾ അയച്ച് നിന്നിലുള്ള മനുഷ്യരെയും ജന്തുക്കളെയും കൊന്നുകളയും.
౮కాబట్టి యెహోవా ప్రభువు ఈ మాట చెబుతున్నాడు. నేను నీ మీదికి కత్తి దూస్తాను. నీ మనుషులనూ పశువులనూ చంపుతాను.
9 ഈജിപ്റ്റ് ഒരു ശൂന്യമരുഭൂമിയായിത്തീരും; അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും. “‘കാരണം നീ പറഞ്ഞു, “നൈൽനദി എനിക്കുള്ളത്, ഞാൻ അതിനെ ഉണ്ടാക്കി,”
౯ఐగుప్తుదేశం పాడైపోయి నిర్మానుష్యమై పోతుంది. అప్పుడు నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకుంటారు. ఎందుకంటే “నైలు నది నాది, నేనే దాన్ని కలగచేశాను” అని భయంకర సముద్ర జంతువు అనుకుంటున్నాడు.
10 അതിനാൽ ഞാൻ നിനക്കും നിന്റെ നദികൾക്കും എതിരായിരിക്കും. ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തെ മിഗ്ദോൽമുതൽ അസ്വാൻവരെയും കൂശിന്റെ അതിരുവരെയും ഒരു കുപ്പക്കുന്നും ശൂന്യഭൂമിയുമാക്കിത്തീർക്കും.
౧౦కాబట్టి నేను నీకూ నీ నదికీ విరోధిని. ఐగుప్తు దేశాన్ని మిగ్దోలు నుంచి సెవేనే వరకూ కూషు సరిహద్దు వరకూ పూర్తిగా పాడు చేసి ఎడారిగా చేస్తాను.
11 മനുഷ്യന്റെയോ മൃഗത്തിന്റെയോ കാൽ അതിൽ ചവിട്ടുകയില്ല. നാൽപ്പതുവർഷത്തേക്ക് അതിൽ ആരും പാർക്കുകയുമില്ല.
౧౧దాని మీదుగా ఏ కాలూ కదలదు. ఏ జంతువూ అటుగుండా వెళ్ళదు. నలభై ఏళ్ళు దానిలో ఎవరూ ఉండరు.
12 ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തെ ശൂന്യദേശങ്ങളുടെ മധ്യേ ഒരു ശൂന്യദേശമാക്കിത്തീർക്കും; അവിടത്തെ പട്ടണങ്ങൾ നാൽപ്പതുവർഷത്തേക്ക് ശൂന്യനഗരങ്ങളുടെ മധ്യേ ശൂന്യമായിക്കിടക്കും; ഈജിപ്റ്റ് ദേശവാസികളെ ഞാൻ ദേശാന്തരങ്ങളിലായി വിവിധ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ ചിതറിക്കും.
౧౨నిర్మానుష్యంగా ఉండే ప్రాంతాల మధ్య ఐగుప్తుదేశాన్ని పాడైన దానిగా చేస్తాను. పాడైపోయిన పట్టణాల్లో దాని పట్టణాలు నలభై ఏళ్ళు పాడై ఉంటాయి. ఐగుప్తీయులను ఇతర ప్రజల మధ్యకు చెదరగొడతాను. ఇతర దేశాలకు వారిని వెళ్ళగొడతాను.
13 “‘എങ്കിലും കർത്താവായ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ആ നാൽപ്പതുവർഷങ്ങൾക്കുശേഷം ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുനിവാസികളെ അവർ ചിതറിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്ന ദേശങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് ശേഖരിക്കും.
౧౩యెహోవా ప్రభువు ఈ మాట చెబుతున్నాడు. నలభై ఏళ్ళు గడిచిన తరువాత నానాప్రజల్లో చెదరిపోయిన ఐగుప్తీయులను నేను సమకూరుస్తాను.
14 ഞാൻ അവരെ പ്രവാസത്തിൽനിന്ന് അവരുടെ ജന്മദേശമായ പത്രോസിലേക്കു തിരികെവരുത്തും. അവിടെ അവർ ഒരു എളിയ രാജ്യമായിരിക്കും.
౧౪ఐగుప్తు కోల్పోయిన దాన్ని మళ్ళీ ఇచ్చి, పత్రోసు అనే తమ సొంత ప్రాంతానికి చేరుస్తాను. అక్కడ వాళ్ళు అల్పమైన రాజ్యంగా ఉంటారు.
15 അതു രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിൽ ഏറ്റവും എളിയ രാജ്യമായിരിക്കും; ഇനിയൊരിക്കലും അവർ മറ്റുരാജ്യങ്ങൾക്കുമേൽ തങ്ങളെത്തന്നെ ഉയർത്തുകയില്ല.
౧౫రాజ్యాల్లో అది అల్పమైన రాజ్యంగా ఉంటుంది. ఇక ఇతర రాజ్యాల మీద అతిశయపడదు. వాళ్ళిక ఇతర రాజ్యాలపై పెత్తనం చేయకుండా నేను వారిని తగ్గిస్తాను.
16 ഈജിപ്റ്റ് ഇനിയൊരിക്കലും ഇസ്രായേൽജനത്തിന് ആത്മവിശ്വാസം നൽകുന്ന ഒരു സമൂഹം ആകുകയില്ല; പ്രത്യുത തിരിഞ്ഞ് അവരെ നോക്കുമ്പോൾ തങ്ങളുടെ അകൃത്യത്തിന്റെ അനുസ്മരണമായി അവർ മാറും; അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ കർത്താവായ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.’”
౧౬ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు తాము చేసిన దోషాన్ని మనసుకు తెచ్చుకుని ఐగుప్తు వైపు తిరిగితే అప్పటినుంచి వారికి నమ్మకం కుదరదు. అప్పుడు నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
17 ഇരുപത്തിയേഴാംവർഷം ഒന്നാംമാസം ഒന്നാംതീയതി യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:
౧౭బబులోను చెరలో ఉన్న కాలంలో, ఇరవై ఏడవ సంవత్సరం మొదటి నెల మొదటి రోజు యెహోవా నాకీ విషయం మళ్ళీ తెలియచేశాడు.
18 “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസർ തന്റെ സൈന്യത്തെയുംകൊണ്ട് സോരിനെതിരായി അതികഠിനമായി യുദ്ധംചെയ്തു. ഉരസൽകൊണ്ട് എല്ലാ തലയും കഷണ്ടിയായി; എല്ലാ ചുമലും തുകൽ കുമിളച്ചതുപോലെയായി. എന്നിട്ടും സോരിനെതിരായി താനും തന്റെ സൈന്യവും ചെയ്തതിനു തക്ക പ്രതിഫലം അവിടെനിന്നു കിട്ടിയില്ല.
౧౮నరపుత్రుడా, తూరు మీద బబులోనురాజు నెబుకద్నెజరు తన సైన్యంతో చాలా కష్టమైన పని చేయించాడు. వారందరి జుట్టు ఊడిపోయింది. వారి భుజాలు కొట్టుకుపోయాయి. అయినా తూరుకు విరోధంగా అతడు పడిన కష్టానికి అతనికి గానీ అతని సైన్యానికి గానీ కూలి కూడా రాలేదు.
19 അതിനാൽ യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെ ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസ്സെരിനു നൽകാൻപോകുന്നു; അവൻ അതിലെ സമ്പത്തു കവർന്നുകൊണ്ടുപോകും. തന്റെ സൈന്യത്തിനു പ്രതിഫലമായി അവൻ ആ രാജ്യത്തെ കവർച്ചചെയ്യുകയും കൊള്ളയിടുകയും ചെയ്യും.
౧౯కాబట్టి యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే, ఐగుప్తు దేశాన్ని బబులోను రాజు నెబుకద్నెజరుకు నేను అప్పగిస్తున్నాను. అతడు దాని ఆస్తిని పట్టుకుని దాని సొమ్మును దోచుకుంటాడు. అది అతని సైన్యానికి జీతమవుతుంది.
20 അവനും അവന്റെ സൈന്യവും എനിക്കുവേണ്ടി ആ കൃത്യം ചെയ്തതുകൊണ്ട് അവന്റെ പ്രയത്നത്തിനുള്ള പ്രതിഫലമായി ഞാൻ അതിനെ അവനു നൽകും, എന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവിന്റെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
౨౦తూరు పట్టణం మీద అతడు చేసింది నా కోసమే కాబట్టి అందుకు బహుమానంగా దాన్ని అప్పగిస్తున్నాను. ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.
21 “ആ ദിവസത്തിൽ ഞാൻ ഇസ്രായേൽഗൃഹത്തിന് ഒരു കൊമ്പു മുളപ്പിക്കും; അവരുടെ മധ്യേ ഞാൻ നിന്റെ വായ് തുറക്കും. അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.”
౨౧ఆ రోజు నేను ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల కొమ్ము పైకి వచ్చేలా చేస్తాను. వారితో మాట్లాడడానికి అవకాశం ఇస్తాను. అప్పుడు నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
