യെഹെസ്കേൽ 38

1 യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:

౧యెహోవా నాతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు.

2 “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, രോശ്, മേശെക്ക്, തൂബാൽ എന്നിവയുടെ പ്രഭുവായി മാഗോഗ് ദേശത്തിലെ ഗോഗിന്റെനേരേ നിന്റെ മുഖംതിരിച്ച് അവനു വിരോധമായി ഇപ്രകാരം പ്രവചിച്ചു പറയുക:

౨నరపుత్రుడా, మాగోగు దేశపువాడైన గోగు, అంటే, రోషు, మెషెకు, తుబాలు రాజ్యాల పాలకుని వైపు తిరిగి అతని గూర్చి ప్రవచించు.

3 ‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: രോശ്, മേശെക്ക്, തൂബാൽ എന്നിവയുടെ പ്രഭുവായ ഗോഗേ, ഞാൻ നിനക്കു വിരോധമായിരിക്കുന്നു.

౩“ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చేదేమంటే, రోషు, మెషెకు, తుబాలు రాజ్యాల పాలకుడవైన గోగూ, నేను నీకు విరోధినయ్యాను.

4 ഞാൻ നിന്നെ തിരിച്ചുനിർത്തി നിന്റെ താടിയെല്ലിൽ ചൂണ്ടൽ കൊളുത്തി നിന്റെ സമസ്തസൈന്യവുമായി നിന്നെ പുറപ്പെടുവിക്കും. നിന്റെ എല്ലാ കുതിരപ്പട്ടാളവും ആയുധധാരികളായ അശ്വാരൂഢന്മാർ മുഴുവനും ചെറുതും വലുതുമായ പരിചകളോടുകൂടി വാളേന്തിയ ഒരു വലിയ സമൂഹവും,

౪నేను నిన్ను వెనక్కి తిప్పి నీ దవడలకు గాలాలు తగిలించి, నిన్నూ నీ సైన్యాన్నీ గుర్రాలనూ ఆయుధ సామగ్రి అంతటితో నీ రౌతులందరినీ కవచాలు, డాళ్లు ధరించి ఖడ్గాలు చేతపట్టుకున్న వారందనీ మహా సైన్యంగా పంపిస్తాను.

5 പരിചകളും ശിരോകവചങ്ങളും ധരിച്ച പാർസികൾ, കൂശ്യർ, പൂത്യർ എന്നിവരും

౫నీతో కూడ పర్షియా, కూషు, పూతు దేశాల వారినీ డాళ్ళు, శిరస్త్రాణాలు ధరించే వారినీ బయలుదేరదీస్తాను.

6 ഗോമെരും അവന്റെ എല്ലാ പടക്കൂട്ടങ്ങളും വടക്കേ അറ്റത്തുള്ള തോഗർമാഗൃഹവും അവന്റെ എല്ലാ സൈന്യവും നിന്നോടൊപ്പമുണ്ടായിരിക്കും.

౬గోమెరు, అతని సైన్యం, ఉత్తరాన ఉండే తోగర్మా, అతని సైన్యం, ఇంకా అనేకమంది జనం నీతో వస్తారు.”

7 “‘നീയും നിന്നോടൊപ്പമുള്ള എല്ലാ കവർച്ചസംഘവും ഒരുങ്ങി സന്നദ്ധരായിരിക്കുക. നീ അവർക്കു നേതൃത്വം വഹിച്ചുകൊൾക.

౭“నీవు సిద్ధంగా ఉండడమే కాక, నీతో కలిసిన ఈ సమూహమంతటిని సిద్ధపరచి వారికి నాయకత్వం వహించు.

8 വളരെനാൾ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ട് നീ സന്ദർശിക്കപ്പെടും. വാളിൽനിന്ന് രക്ഷപ്പെട്ടതും അനേകം രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് ഇസ്രായേൽ പർവതങ്ങളിലേക്ക് ഒരുമിച്ചു ചേർക്കപ്പെട്ടതും ദീർഘകാലം ശൂന്യമായിക്കിടന്നതുമായ ഒരു രാജ്യത്തെ ഭാവികാലത്ത് നീ ആക്രമിക്കും. രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് പുറപ്പെടുവിച്ചു കൊണ്ടുവരപ്പെട്ടവരാണ് അവർ. ഇപ്പോൾ അവരെല്ലാം സുരക്ഷിതരായി ജീവിക്കുന്നു.

౮చాల రోజుల తరువాత నీకు పిలుపు వస్తుంది. వివిధ జనాల్లో చెదరిపోయి, కొన్ని సంవత్సరాల తరవాత ఖడ్గం నుండి తప్పించుకుని, ఎప్పుడూ పాడై ఉండే ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల పర్వతాల మీద నివసించడానికి మళ్ళీ సమకూడిన ప్రజల దగ్గరికి, అంటే వివిధ జనాల్లోనుండి తిరిగి వచ్చి నిర్భయంగా నివసించే వారి దగ్గరికి నీవు వెళ్తావు.

9 നീയും നിന്റെ എല്ലാ സൈന്യങ്ങളും നിന്നോടൊപ്പമുള്ള വിവിധ ജനതകളും ഒരു കൊടുങ്കാറ്റുപോലെ കയറിവന്ന് മേഘംപോലെ ദേശത്തെ മൂടും.

౯గాలివాన వచ్చినట్టు, మేఘం కమ్మినట్టు నీవు ఆ దేశం మీదికి వస్తావు. నీవు, నీ సైన్యం, నీతో కలిసిన విస్తారమైన జనాలు ఆ దేశం మీద కమ్ముకుంటారు.”

10 “‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ആ ദിവസത്തിൽ നിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ചില ചിന്തകൾ ഉത്ഭവിക്കും; നീ ഒരു ദുരുപായം നിരൂപിക്കും.

౧౦ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చేదేమంటే, ఆ కాలంలో నీ మనస్సులో చెడు తలంపులు కలుగుతాయి.

11 “മതിൽക്കെട്ടില്ലാത്ത ഗ്രാമങ്ങളുള്ള ദേശത്തെ ഞാൻ ആക്രമിക്കും; മതിലുകൾ ഇല്ലാതെയും കവാടങ്ങളും ഓടാമ്പലുകളും കൂടാതെ, സമാധാനത്തോടും യാതൊരു ശങ്കയും കൂടാതെയും ജീവിക്കുന്നവരെത്തന്നെ.

౧౧నువ్వు దురాలోచనతో ఇలా అనుకుంటావు, నేను ప్రాకారాలు, అడ్డగడియలు, ద్వారాలు లేని దేశం పైకి వెళ్తాను. విశ్రాంతిగా, నిర్భయంగా నివసించే వారి మీదికి వెళ్తాను.

12 പുനരധിവസിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട ശൂന്യസ്ഥലങ്ങളെയും രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളിൽനിന്നു വന്നുചേർന്ന് മൃഗങ്ങളാലും വസ്തുവകകളാലും സമ്പന്നരായി ദേശത്തിന്റെ മധ്യേവസിക്കുന്ന ജനത്തിനുനേരേ ഞാൻ കൈനീട്ടി അവരെ കവർച്ചചെയ്തു കൊള്ളയിടും,” എന്നു നീ പറയും.

౧౨గతంలో పాడై మళ్ళీ నివాసయోగ్యమైన స్థలాల మీదికి వెళ్ళి, వారిని దోచుకుని కొల్లసొమ్ముగా పట్టుకుంటాను. వివిధ జనాల్లోనుండి తిరిగివచ్చి, పశువులు, ఆస్తులు సంపాదించి, భూమి నట్టనడుమ నివసించే ప్రజల మీదికి వెళ్తాను.

13 ശേബയും ദേദാനും തർശീശിലെ വ്യാപാരികളും അവിടെയുള്ള എല്ലാ ഗ്രാമങ്ങളും നിന്നോടു ചോദിക്കുന്നു: “നീ കൊള്ളയിടാനാണോ വന്നത്? വെള്ളിയും സ്വർണവും അപഹരിക്കാനും കന്നുകാലികളെ കവർച്ചചെയ്യാനും വളരെ കൊള്ളശേഖരിക്കാനുമോ നിന്റെ കവർച്ചപ്പടയെ ഒരുമിച്ചുകൂട്ടിയത്?” എന്നു നീ ചോദിക്കും.’

౧౩సెబావారు, దదానువారు, తర్షీషు వర్తకులు, వారి యోధులందరు నిన్ను చూసి “సొమ్ము దోచుకోడానికి వచ్చావా? కొల్లగొట్టడానికీ వెండి బంగారాలు, పశువులు, సరుకులు పట్టుకుపోడానికీ సైన్యం సమకూర్చుకుని వచ్చావా?” అని అడుగుతారు.

14 “അതിനാൽ മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, നീ പ്രവചിച്ച് ഗോഗിനോട് ഇപ്രകാരം പറയുക: ‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ആ ദിവസത്തിൽ എന്റെ ജനമായ ഇസ്രായേൽ സുരക്ഷിതരായി ജീവിക്കുമ്പോൾ അതു നിന്റെ ശ്രദ്ധയിൽപ്പെടുകയില്ലേ?

౧౪“కాబట్టి నరపుత్రుడా, గోగును గూర్చి ఇలా ప్రవచించు, ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చేదేమంటే, నా ప్రజలైన ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు నిర్భయంగా జీవించే సమయం కనిపెట్టావు కదా?

15 നീയും നിന്നോടൊപ്പമുള്ള പല ജനതകളും കുതിരപ്പുറത്തുകയറി ഒരു വിപുല സൈന്യമായി വടക്കേ അറ്റത്തുനിന്നു വരും.

౧౫దూరంగా ఉత్తర దిక్కునుండి నీవు, నీతోకూడ అనేకమంది ప్రజలు గుర్రాలెక్కి బహు విస్తారమైన సైన్యంతో వచ్చి

16 ദേശത്തെ മറയ്ക്കുന്ന ഒരു മേഘംപോലെ എന്റെ ജനമായ ഇസ്രായേലിന്നെതിരേ നീ വരും. ഗോഗേ, അന്ത്യകാലത്ത് ജനതകൾ കാൺകെ നിന്നിലൂടെ ഞാൻ എന്നെത്തന്നെ വിശുദ്ധീകരിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവർ എന്നെ അറിയേണ്ടതിന് ഞാൻ നിന്നെ എന്റെ ദേശത്തിന്റെ നേരേ വരുത്തും.

౧౬మేఘం భూమిని కమ్మినట్లు నా ప్రజలైన ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల మీద పడతారు. చివరి రోజుల్లో అది జరుగుతుంది. గోగూ, అన్యజనాలు నన్ను తెలుసుకొనేలా నేను నా దేశం మీదికి నిన్ను రప్పించి నిన్నుబట్టి వారి ఎదుట నన్ను నేను పరిశుద్ధ పరచుకుంటాను.”

17 “‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: കഴിഞ്ഞകാലത്ത് എന്റെ ദാസന്മാരായ ഇസ്രായേലിന്റെ പ്രവാചകന്മാരിലൂടെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെക്കുറിച്ചല്ലയോ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തിട്ടുള്ളത്? അവർ അന്ന് ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ഇസ്രായേലിനെതിരേ പുറപ്പെടുവിക്കുമെന്ന് അനേകവർഷക്കാലം പ്രവചിച്ചിരുന്നു.

౧౭ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చేదేమంటే “గతంలో ప్రతి సంవత్సరం నిన్ను వారిమీదికి రప్పిస్తానని నా సేవకులైన ప్రవక్తల ద్వారా సెలవిచ్చింది నేనే గదా?

18 അന്നാളിൽ സംഭവിക്കുന്നത് ഇതായിരിക്കും: ഗോഗ് ഇസ്രായേൽദേശത്തെ ആക്രമിക്കുമ്പോൾ എന്റെ ഉഗ്രകോപം ജ്വലിക്കുമെന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.

౧౮ఆ రోజున, అంటే గోగు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేశం మీదికి రాబోయే రోజున, నా కోపం విపరీతంగా మండుతుంది.” ఇదే ప్రభువైన యెహోవా వాక్కు.

19 അക്കാലത്ത് ഇസ്രായേൽദേശത്ത് ഒരു വലിയ ഭൂകമ്പമുണ്ടാകുമെന്ന് എന്റെ തീക്ഷ്ണതയിലും ക്രോധാഗ്നിയിലും ഞാൻ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.

౧౯“కాబట్టి నేను రోషంతో, మహా రౌద్రంతో ఈ విధంగా ప్రకటించాను, ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేశంలో గొప్ప భూకంపం కలుగుతుంది.

20 സമുദ്രത്തിലെ മത്സ്യവും ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികളും വയലിലെ മൃഗങ്ങളും നിലത്തിഴയുന്ന എല്ലാ ജീവികളും ഭൂമുഖത്തുള്ള സകലജനവും എന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽ വിറയ്ക്കും. മലകൾ മറിഞ്ഞുപോകും കടുന്തൂക്കായ സ്ഥലങ്ങൾ ഇടിഞ്ഞുപോകും എല്ലാ മതിലും നിലംപരിചാകും.

౨౦సముద్రపు చేపలు, ఆకాశపక్షులు, భూజంతువులు, భూమిమీద పాకే పురుగులన్నీ, భూప్రజలంతా నాకు భయపడి వణుకుతారు. పర్వతాలు నాశనమౌతాయి, కొండ శిఖరాలు కూలిపోతాయి, గోడలన్నీ నేలకూలుతాయి.

21 എന്റെ എല്ലാ പർവതങ്ങളിലും ഞാൻ ഗോഗിനെതിരേ ഒരു വാൾ വിളിച്ചുവരുത്തുമെന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഓരോ മനുഷ്യന്റെയും വാൾ അവന്റെ സഹോദരന്റെമേൽ വീഴും.

౨౧నా పర్వతాలన్నిటిలో అతని మీదికి ఖడ్గం వచ్చేలా చేస్తాను. ప్రతి ఒక్కరి ఖడ్గం అతని సోదరుని మీద పడుతుంది.” ఇదే ప్రభువైన యెహోవా వాక్కు.

22 പകർച്ചവ്യാധിയും രക്തച്ചൊരിച്ചിലുംകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ അവനെതിരേ ന്യായവിധി നടത്തും. ഞാൻ അവന്റെമേലും അവന്റെ സൈന്യത്തിന്മേലും അവനോടൊപ്പമുള്ള നിരവധി രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളുടെമേലും പെരുമഴയും മഞ്ഞുകട്ടയും എരിയുന്ന ഗന്ധകവും വർഷിപ്പിക്കും.

౨౨తెగులు, మరణం పంపి అతని మీదా అతని సైన్యం మీదా అతనితో ఉన్న జనాల మీదా భీకరమైన వర్షాన్నీ పెద్ద వడగండ్లనూ అగ్నిగంధకాలనూ కురిపించి అతనితో వాదిస్తాను.

23 ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ എന്റെ മഹത്ത്വവും വിശുദ്ധിയും വെളിപ്പെടുത്തും. അനേകം രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്ക് ഞാൻ എന്നെത്തന്നെ വെളിപ്പെടുത്തും; അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.’

౨౩అన్యజనాలంతా నేను యెహోవానని తెలుసుకునేలా నేను నా గొప్పతనాన్ని, పరిశుద్ధతను వారి ఎదుట చూపించి నన్ను నేను హెచ్చించుకుంటాను.
