യെഹെസ്കേൽ 7
1 യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് ഇപ്രകാരം എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:
౧యెహోవా వాక్కు నా దగ్గరికి వచ్చింది. ఆయన నాకు ఇలా చెప్పాడు.
2 “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, ഇസ്രായേൽദേശത്തോട് കർത്താവായ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഇതാ അവസാനം! ദേശത്തിന്റെ നാലു കോണുകളിലും അവസാനം വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു!
౨“నరపుత్రుడా, ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఇశ్రాయేలు దేశానికిలా ప్రకటిస్తున్నాడు. అంతం! ఇశ్రాయేలు దేశం నాలుగు సరిహద్దులకు అంతం వచ్చేసింది.
3 ഇപ്പോൾ അവസാനം നിന്റെമേൽ വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു, ഞാൻ എന്റെ കോപം നിനക്കെതിരേ അഴിച്ചുവിടും. നിന്റെ പെരുമാറ്റത്തിന് അനുസൃതമായി ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ന്യായംവിധിക്കും അറപ്പുളവാക്കുന്ന നിന്റെ സകലപ്രവൃത്തികൾക്കും നിന്നോടു പകരംവീട്ടും.
౩ఇప్పుడు అంతం మీ పైకి వచ్చింది. ఎందుకంటే నా తీవ్ర కోపాన్ని మీ పైకి పంపుతున్నాను. మీ ప్రవర్తనను బట్టి మీకు తీర్పు తీరుస్తాను. తరువాత అసహ్యకరమైన మీ పనుల ఫలితాన్ని మీపైకి పంపుతాను.
4 എന്റെ കണ്ണ് യാതൊരനുകമ്പയും നിന്നോടു കാണിക്കുകയില്ല; ഒരു ദാക്ഷിണ്യവും നിനക്കു ലഭിക്കുകയില്ല. നിന്റെ പെരുമാറ്റരീതിക്ക് ഒത്തവണ്ണം നിശ്ചയമായും ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു പകരംചെയ്യും, നിന്റെ മ്ലേച്ഛമായ പ്രവൃത്തികളാൽത്തന്നെ. അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്നു നിങ്ങൾ അറിയും.’
౪నా దృష్టిలో మీ పట్ల ఎలాంటి కనికరమూ చూపను. నేనే యెహోవాను అని మీకు తెలిసే విధంగా నీచమైన వాటిని మీ మధ్యే ఉండనిస్తాను!
5 “യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘അനർഥം! അനർഥത്തിനു പിറകെ അനർഥം! ഇതാ അതു വരുന്നു!
౫ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్తున్నాడు. వినాశనం! వినాశనం వెనుకే మరో వినాశనం. చూడండి! అది వచ్చేస్తూ ఉంది.
6 അവസാനം വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു! അവസാനം വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു! അതു നിന്റെനേരേ ഉണർന്നുവരുന്നു. ഇതാ, അതു വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു!
౬అంతం వచ్చేస్తూ ఉంది. అంతం నీకు విరోధంగా కళ్ళు తెరిచింది. చూడండి. అది వచ్చేస్తూ ఉంది.
7 വിനാശം നിന്മേൽ വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു, ഈ ദേശത്തു വസിക്കുന്ന നിന്മേൽത്തന്നെ. സമയം വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു! ആ ദിവസം സമീപമായി! പർവതങ്ങളിൽ ആർപ്പുവിളി കേൾക്കുന്നു; ആനന്ദത്തിന്റെ അല്ലതാനും.
౭దేశవాసులారా, మీ నాశనం మిమ్మల్ని సమీపిస్తుంది. సమయం వచ్చేసింది. నాశన దినం దగ్గరలోనే ఉంది. పర్వతాలు ఇకమీదట ఆనందంగా ఉండవు.
8 ഇപ്പോൾത്തന്നെ ഞാൻ എന്റെ ക്രോധം നിന്റെമേൽ ചൊരിയും; നിന്നോടുള്ള എന്റെ കോപം ഞാൻ നിറവേറ്റും; നിന്റെ പെരുമാറ്റത്തിന് അനുസൃതമായിത്തന്നെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ന്യായംവിധിക്കുകയും നിന്റെ മ്ലേച്ഛതകൾക്കെല്ലാം നിന്നോടു പകരംവീട്ടുകയും ചെയ്യും.
౮త్వరలోనే నా క్రోధాన్ని మీమీద కుమ్మరించబోతున్నాను. నా తీవ్రమైన కోపాన్ని మీమీద చూపించ బోతున్నాను. మీ ప్రవర్తనను బట్టి మీకు శిక్ష విధిస్తాను. మీ నీచమైన పనుల ఫలాన్ని మీ పైకి తీసుకు వస్తాను.
9 എന്റെ കണ്ണ് യാതൊരനുകമ്പയും നിന്നോടു കാണിക്കുകയില്ല; യാതൊരു ദാക്ഷിണ്യവും നിനക്കു ലഭിക്കുകയില്ല. നിന്റെ പെരുമാറ്റരീതിക്കൊത്തവണ്ണം ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു പകരംചെയ്യും, നിന്റെ മ്ലേച്ഛമായ പ്രവൃത്തികളാൽത്തന്നെ. അപ്പോൾ യഹോവയാണ് നിന്നെ ദണ്ഡിപ്പിക്കുന്നതെന്നു നീ അറിയും.
౯నాకు మీ పట్ల కనికరం లేదు. నేను మిమ్మల్ని వదలను. మీరు చేసినట్టే నేనూ మీకు చేస్తాను. మిమ్మల్ని శిక్షించే యెహోవాను నేనే అని మీకు తెలిసే విధంగా నీచమైన వాటిని మీ మధ్యే ఉండనిస్తాను!
10 “‘ഇതാ, ആ ദിവസം! ഇതാ, അതു വരുന്നു! നിന്റെ നാശം പുറപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു; വടി പൂത്തിരിക്കുന്നു, അഹങ്കാരം തളിർത്തിരിക്കുന്നു!
౧౦చూడండి! ఆ రోజు వచ్చేస్తుంది. నాశనం బయలు దేరింది. ఆ దండం పుట్టింది. దానికి గర్వం వికసించింది.
11 അക്രമം എഴുന്നേറ്റിരിക്കുന്നു, ദുഷ്ടരെ ശിക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനുള്ള ഒരു വടിയായിത്തന്നെ. ആ ജനത്തിൽ ആരുംതന്നെ, ആ ജനസമൂഹത്തിലോ അവരുടെ ധനത്തിലോ മൂല്യവത്തായ ഒന്നും അവശേഷിക്കുകയില്ല.
౧౧బలాత్కారం ప్రారంభం అయి దుర్మార్గులను శిక్షించే దండం అయింది. వాళ్ళలో గానీ, వాళ్ళ మూకలో గానీ ఎవరూ మిగలరు. వాళ్ళ సంపదలో గానీ, వాళ్ళ ప్రాముఖ్యతలో గానీ ఏదీ మిగలదు.
12 സമയം വന്നെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു! ആ ദിവസം എത്തിച്ചേർന്നു! വാങ്ങുന്നവർ സന്തോഷിക്കുകയോ വിൽക്കുന്നവർ വിലപിക്കയോ ചെയ്യാതിരിക്കട്ടെ; കാരണം, എന്റെ ക്രോധം ആ മുഴുവൻ ജനസമൂഹത്തിന്മേലും വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౨ఆ సమయం వచ్చేస్తుంది. ఆ రోజు దగ్గర పడింది. నా కోపం ప్రజలందరి పైనా ఉంది కనుక కొనేవాడు సంతోషించకూడదు.
13 വാങ്ങുന്നവരും വിൽക്കുന്നവരും ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നിടത്തോളം വിറ്റവന് താൻ വിറ്റതു തിരിച്ചുകിട്ടുകയില്ല. അവരുടെ എല്ലാ പുരുഷാരത്തെപ്പറ്റിയുമുള്ള ദർശനം മറിച്ചാകുകയില്ല. അവരുടെ പാപംനിമിത്തം ഒരാളുടെയും ജീവൻ സംരക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടുകയില്ല.
౧౩అమ్మినవాడు వాళ్ళు బ్రతికి ఉన్నంత కాలం తాను అమ్మిన భూమికి తిరిగి రాడు. ఎందుకంటే ఈ దర్శనం ప్రజలందరికీ విరోధంగా ఉంది. పాపంలో నివసించే ఏ మనిషీ ధైర్యంగా తన ప్రాణాన్ని దక్కించుకోలేడు. అందుకే వాళ్ళెవ్వరూ తిరిగిరారు.
14 “‘അവർ കാഹളമൂതി സകലതും സജ്ജമാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്നാൽ ആരുംതന്നെ യുദ്ധത്തിനു പുറപ്പെടുന്നില്ല, കാരണം എന്റെ ക്രോധം ആ സമൂഹം മുഴുവന്റെയുംമേൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നു.
౧౪వాళ్ళు సర్వసన్నద్ధులై బాకా ఊదారు. కానీ యుద్ధానికి బయల్దేరే వాడు ఎవడూ లేడు.
15 പട്ടണത്തിനുപുറത്ത് വാൾ; അകത്ത് പകർച്ചവ്യാധിയും ക്ഷാമവും. വയലിൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നവർ വാളാൽ മരിക്കും. ക്ഷാമവും പകർച്ചവ്യാധിയും നഗരത്തിലുള്ളവരെ നശിപ്പിച്ചുകളയും.
౧౫ఖడ్గం బయట ఉంది. లోపలేమో కరవూ, తెగులూ ఉన్నాయి. బయట ఉన్నవాళ్ళు ఖడ్గం వాతపడతారు. పట్టణంలో ఉన్నవాళ్ళని కరవూ, తెగులూ మింగివేస్తాయి.
16 അവരിൽ പലായിതർ രക്ഷപ്പെട്ടാൽത്തന്നെയും പർവതങ്ങളിലേക്ക് ഓടിപ്പോകും. താഴ്വരകളിലെ പ്രാവുകളെപ്പോലെ അവർ എല്ലാവരും വിലപിക്കും, ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും പാപങ്ങൾമൂലംതന്നെ.
౧౬అయితే వాళ్ళలో కొంతమంది తప్పించుకుని పర్వతాల పైకి పారిపోతారు. వాళ్ళు అందరూ లోయలో ఉండే గువ్వల్లాగా మూలుగుతారు.
17 എല്ലാ കൈകളും തളരും; എല്ലാ കാലുകളും മൂത്രത്താൽ നനയും.
౧౭వాళ్ళందరి చేతులూ తడబడతాయి. మోకాళ్ళు నీళ్ళలా బలహీనం అవుతాయి.
18 അവർ ചാക്കുശീല ധരിക്കും, നടുക്കം അവരെ കീഴടക്കും. എല്ലാ മുഖങ്ങളിലും ലജ്ജ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കും, എല്ലാ തലയും ക്ഷൗരം ചെയ്യപ്പെടും.
౧౮వారు గోనెపట్ట ధరిస్తారు. తీవ్రమైన భయం వాళ్ళని కమ్ముకుంటుంది. ప్రతి ఒక్కరి ముఖం పైనా అవమానం ఉంటుంది. బోడితనం వాళ్ళ తలల మీద కనిపిస్తుంది.
19 “‘അവർ തങ്ങളുടെ വെള്ളി തെരുവിൽ എറിഞ്ഞുകളയും, അവരുടെ സ്വർണം മലിനമായ വസ്തുപോലെ പരിഗണിക്കപ്പെടും. യഹോവയുടെ ക്രോധദിവസത്തിൽ അവരുടെ വെള്ളിക്കോ സ്വർണത്തിനോ അവരെ മോചിപ്പിക്കാൻ കഴിയുകയില്ല. വിശപ്പടക്കുന്നതിനോ വയറുനിറയ്ക്കുന്നതിനോ അവർക്കത് ഉപകരിക്കുകയില്ല. അത് അവരെ പാപത്തിലേക്കു വീഴാൻ കാരണമാക്കിയല്ലോ.
౧౯వాళ్ళు తమ దగ్గర ఉన్న వెండిని వీధుల్లో పారేస్తారు. బంగారం వాళ్లకి వ్యర్ధపదార్ధంలా ఉంటుంది. యెహోవా కోప దినాన వెండిబంగారాలు వాళ్ళను కాపాడలేవు. వాళ్ళ దోషం పెను ఆటంకంగా ఉంటుంది గనక వాళ్ళ జీవితాలకు రక్షణ ఉండదు. వాళ్ళ కడుపులకు పోషణ ఉండదు.
20 തങ്ങളുടെ മനോഹരങ്ങളായ ആഭരണങ്ങളിൽ അവർ അഹങ്കരിച്ചു. മ്ലേച്ഛവും നിന്ദ്യവുമായ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങൾ നിർമിക്കുന്നതിനായി അവർ അത് ഉപയോഗിച്ചു. അതിനാൽ അതു ഞാൻ അവർക്ക് ഒരു ഹീനവസ്തുവാക്കിത്തീർക്കും.
౨౦వాళ్ళు అహంకరించి రత్నభరితమైన ఆభరణాలు చేయించారు. అవి వాళ్ళ నీచమైన పనులను వర్ణించే విగ్రహ ఆకారాలుగా ఏర్పడ్డాయి. వాటితో వాళ్ళు అసహ్యకరమైన తమ పనులను సాగించారు. కాబట్టి ఆ ఆభరణాలు వాళ్లకి అసహ్యం పుట్టేలా నేను చేస్తాను.
21 അതു ഞാൻ വിദേശികളുടെ കൈയിൽ കൊള്ളയായും ഭൂമിയിലെ ദുഷ്ടർക്കു കവർച്ചയായും കൊടുക്കും, അവർ അതിനെ അശുദ്ധമാക്കും.
౨౧వాటిని ఇతర దేశస్తుల చేతికి అప్పగిస్తాను. దుర్మార్గుల చేతికి దోపిడీ సొమ్ముగా ఇస్తాను. వాళ్ళు వాటిని అపవిత్రం చేస్తారు.
22 ആ ജനത്തിൽനിന്നു ഞാൻ മുഖം തിരിച്ചുകളയും, എനിക്കു വിലപ്പെട്ട സ്ഥലത്തെ കൊള്ളക്കാർ അശുദ്ധമാക്കും. അവർ അതിൽ പ്രവേശിക്കുകയും അതിനെ മലിനമാക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.
౨౨వాళ్ళు నా ఖజానాను అపవిత్రం చేస్తుంటే చూడకుండా నా ముఖం తిప్పుకుంటాను. బందిపోట్లు దానిలో ప్రవేశించి దాన్ని అపవిత్రం చేస్తారు.
23 “‘ദേശം രക്തപാതകംകൊണ്ടും പട്ടണം അക്രമംകൊണ്ടും നിറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുകയാൽ നീ ഒരു ചങ്ങല ഉണ്ടാക്കുക!
౨౩తీర్పుని బట్టి దేశం రక్తంతోనూ, పట్టణం హింసతోనూ నిండిపోయింది. అందుకే సంకెళ్ళు సిద్ధం చేయండి.
24 അവരുടെ വീടുകൾ കൈവശമാക്കുന്നതിന് ഞാൻ ജനതകളിൽ അതിദുഷ്ടന്മാരായവരെ വരുത്തും. ബലിഷ്ഠരുടെ അഹങ്കാരം ഞാൻ അവസാനിപ്പിക്കും, അവരുടെ വിശുദ്ധസ്ഥലങ്ങൾ മലിനമായിത്തീരും.
౨౪జాతుల్లోకెల్లా అత్యంత దుర్మార్గమైన జాతిని నేను పంపుతాను. వాళ్ళు వచ్చి ఇళ్ళను స్వాధీనం చేసుకుంటారు. వాళ్ళ పవిత్ర స్థలాలను అపవిత్రం చేసి బలశూరుల అహంకారానికి స్వస్తి చెపుతాను!
25 ഉൾഭയം വരുമ്പോൾ അവർ സമാധാനം അന്വേഷിക്കും; എന്നാൽ അവർ അതു കണ്ടെത്തുകയില്ല.
౨౫భయం కలుగుతుంది! వాళ్ళు శాంతిని వాంచిస్తారు కానీ అది వారికి దొరకదు.
26 നാശത്തിനുമീതേ നാശവും കിംവദന്തിക്കുമീതേ കിംവദന്തിയും ഉണ്ടാകും. അവർ പ്രവാചകനിൽനിന്ന് ഒരു ദർശനം അന്വേഷിക്കും ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തിൽനിന്നും പുരോഹിതൻ നൽകുന്ന ഉപദേശം നിലയ്ക്കും, ഗോത്രത്തലവന്മാരുടെ ആലോചനയും അവസാനിക്കും.
౨౬నాశనం తరువాత నాశనం కలుగుతుంది. పుకార్ల తరువాత పుకార్లు పుట్టుకొస్తాయి. వాళ్ళు ప్రవక్తల దగ్గరికి దర్శనం కోసం వెళ్తారు. యాజకులకు ధర్మశాస్త్ర జ్ఞానం లేకుండా పోతుంది. సలహా ఇచ్చే పెద్దలకు తెలివి ఉండదు.
27 രാജാവു വിലപിക്കും, പ്രഭു നൈരാശ്യത്താൽ മൂടപ്പെടും, ദേശത്തിലെ ജനങ്ങളുടെ കൈകൾ വിറയ്ക്കും. അവരുടെ പെരുമാറ്റത്തിന് അനുസൃതമായി ഞാൻ അവരോട് ഇടപെടും, അവരുടെ മാനദണ്ഡങ്ങൾക്ക് അനുസൃതമായി ഞാൻ അവരെ ന്യായംവിധിക്കും. അപ്പോൾ, ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.’”
౨౭రాజు విచారంగా ఉంటాడు. యువరాజు నిస్పృహలో సామాన్య వస్త్రాలు ధరిస్తాడు. దేశ ప్రజల చేతులు భయంతో వణకుతాయి. వాళ్ళ విధానంలోనే నేను వాళ్లకి ఇలా చేస్తాను. నేనే యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకునే వరకూ వాళ్ళ ప్రమాణాలను బట్టే వాళ్ళకి తీర్పు తీరుస్తాను.”
