യെശയ്യാവ് 50
1 യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നിങ്ങളുടെ അമ്മയെ ഞാൻ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചതിന്റെ ഉപേക്ഷണപത്രം എവിടെ? എന്റെ കടക്കാരിൽ ആർക്കാണ് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ വിറ്റുകളഞ്ഞത്? നിങ്ങളുടെ പാപങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം നിങ്ങൾ വിറ്റുകളയപ്പെട്ടു; നിങ്ങളുടെ ലംഘനങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം നിങ്ങളുടെ അമ്മ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്തു.
౧యెహోవా ఇలా సెలవిస్తున్నాడు. “నేను మీ తల్లిని విడిచిపెట్టి ఇచ్చిన విడాకుల పత్రం ఏదీ? నా అప్పులవాళ్ళలో మిమ్మల్ని ఎవరికి అమ్మివేశాను? కేవలం మీ దోషాలను బట్టే మీరు అమ్ముడుపోయారు. మీ తిరుగుబాటును బట్టే మీ తల్లికి విడాకులు ఇవ్వడం జరిగింది.
2 ഞാൻ വന്നപ്പോൾ, ആരും ഇല്ലാതെവരുന്നതിനും ഞാൻ വിളിച്ചപ്പോൾ, ആരും ഉത്തരം നൽകാതിരിക്കാനും എന്താണു കാരണം? വിടുവിക്കാൻ കഴിയാതവണ്ണം എന്റെ കൈകൾ കുറുകിപ്പോയോ? മോചിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിന് എനിക്കു ശക്തിയില്ലാതായോ? കേവലം ഒരു ശാസനയാൽ ഞാൻ സമുദ്രത്തെ വറ്റിക്കുന്നു, നദികളെ ഞാൻ മരുഭൂമിയാക്കി മാറ്റുന്നു; വെള്ളമില്ലായ്കയാൽ അവയിലെ മത്സ്യങ്ങൾ ചീഞ്ഞുനാറുന്നു, അവ ദാഹംകൊണ്ട് ചത്തൊടുങ്ങുകയുംചെയ്യുന്നു.
౨నేను వచ్చినప్పుడు అక్కడ ఎవరూ లేరు, ఎందుకు? నేను పిలిచినప్పుడు ఎవరూ జవాబు చెప్పలేదెందుకు? నా చెయ్యి మిమ్మల్ని విమోచించలేనంత కురచగా అయి పోయిందా? విడిపించడానికి నాకు శక్తి లేదా? నా గద్దింపుతో సముద్రాన్ని ఎండిపోయేలా చేస్తాను. నదులను ఎడారిగా చేస్తాను. నీళ్లు లేకపోవడం చేత వాటిలోని చేపలు చచ్చిపోయి కంపుకొడతాయి.
3 ഞാൻ ആകാശത്തെ കറുപ്പ് ഉടുപ്പിക്കുകയും; ചാക്കുശീല പുതപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.”
౩ఆకాశాన్ని చీకటి కమ్మేలా చేస్తాను. దాన్ని గోనెపట్టతో కప్పుతాను.”
4 തളർന്നിരിക്കുന്നവനോട് സമയോചിതമായ ഒരു വാക്കു സംസാരിക്കാൻ യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് എനിക്കു പരിശീലനംസിദ്ധിച്ചവരുടെ നാവു തന്നിരിക്കുന്നു. അവിടന്ന് എന്നെ പ്രഭാതംതോറും ഉണർത്തുന്നു, പരിശീലനംനേടുന്നവരെപ്പോലെ കേൾക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവിടന്ന് എന്റെ ചെവി ഉണർത്തുന്നു.
౪అలసినవాణ్ణి నా మాటలతో ఆదరించే జ్ఞానం నాకు కలిగేలా శిష్యునికి ఉండాల్సిన నాలుక యెహోవా నాకిచ్చాడు. శిష్యునిలాగా నేను వినడానికి ఆయన ప్రతి ఉదయాన నన్ను మేల్కొలుపుతాడు.
5 യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് എന്റെ ചെവി തുറന്നു; ഞാനോ, എതിർത്തില്ല; ഒഴിഞ്ഞുമാറിയതുമില്ല.
౫ప్రభువైన యెహోవా నా చెవికి వినే బుద్ధి పుట్టించాడు కాబట్టి నేను ఆయన మీద తిరుగుబాటు చేయలేదు, వినకుండా దూరం జరగలేదు.
6 എന്നെ അടിച്ചവർക്ക് ഞാൻ എന്റെ മുതുകും രോമം പറിച്ചവർക്ക് ഞാൻ കവിളും കാട്ടിക്കൊടുത്തു. പരിഹാസത്തിൽനിന്നും തുപ്പലിൽനിന്നും ഞാൻ എന്റെ മുഖം മറച്ചുകളഞ്ഞില്ല.
౬నన్ను కొట్టే వారికి నా వీపును, వెంట్రుకలు పెరికే వారికి నా చెంపలను అప్పగించాను. ఉమ్మి వేసేవారికి, అవమానించే వారికి నా ముఖం దాచుకోలేదు.
7 യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് എന്നെ സഹായിക്കും; അതിനാൽ ഞാൻ അപമാനിതനാകുകയില്ല. തന്മൂലം ഞാൻ എന്റെ മുഖം തീക്കല്ലുപോലെയാക്കി, ഞാൻ ലജ്ജിച്ചുപോകുകയില്ല എന്ന് എനിക്കറിയാം.
౭ప్రభువైన యెహోవా నాకు సాయం చేస్తాడు కాబట్టి నేనేమీ సిగ్గుపడలేదు. నాకు సిగ్గు కలగదని తెలుసు కాబట్టి నా ముఖాన్ని చెకుముకి రాయిలాగా చేసుకున్నాను.
8 എന്നെ കുറ്റവിമുക്തനാക്കുന്നവൻ സമീപത്തുണ്ട്. അപ്പോൾ എനിക്കെതിരേ ആരോപണവുമായി ആർ വരും? നമുക്ക് പരസ്പരം വാദിക്കാം! എന്റെ അന്യായക്കാരൻ ആർ? അയാൾ എന്റെ സമീപത്ത് വരട്ടെ!
౮నన్ను నీతిమంతునిగా ఎంచే దేవుడు నాకు సమీపంగా ఉన్నాడు. నన్ను వ్యతిరేకించే వాడెవడు? మనం కలిసి వాదించుకుందాం. నా ప్రతివాది ఎవడు? అతణ్ణి నా దగ్గరికి రానివ్వండి.
9 ഇതാ, യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് എന്നെ സഹായിക്കും. എന്നെ ആർ കുറ്റംവിധിക്കും? അവർ എല്ലാവരും വസ്ത്രംപോലെ പഴകിപ്പോകും; പുഴു അവരെ തിന്നൊടുക്കും.
౯ప్రభువైన యెహోవా నాకు సహాయం చేస్తాడు. నా మీద ఎవరు నేరం మోపుతారు? వారంతా బట్టలాగా పాతబడిపోతారు. వారిని చిమ్మెట తినివేస్తుంది.
10 നിങ്ങളിൽ ആർ യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെടും? അവിടത്തെ ദാസന്റെ ശബ്ദം ആർ അനുസരിക്കും? പ്രകാശമില്ലാത്തവർ ഇരുട്ടിൽ നടന്നുകൊള്ളട്ടെ, അവൻ യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തിൽ അഭയം തേടുകയും തന്റെ ദൈവത്തിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യട്ടെ.
౧౦మీలో యెహోవాకు భయపడి ఆయన సేవకుని మాట వినే వాడెవడు? వెలుగు లేకుండా చీకటిలో నడిచేవాడు యెహోవా నామాన్ని ఆశ్రయించి ఆయన్ని నమ్ముకోవాలి.
11 എന്നാൽ ഇപ്പോൾ തീ കത്തിക്കുന്നവരായ എല്ലാവരുമേ, സ്വന്തം ആവശ്യത്തിന് പന്തങ്ങൾ കൊളുത്തുന്നവരേ, നിങ്ങൾ കത്തിച്ച അഗ്നിയുടെ പ്രകാശത്തിലും നിങ്ങൾ കൊളുത്തിയ പന്തത്തിന്റെ വെളിച്ചത്തിലും നടന്നുകൊള്ളുക. ഇതാണ് എന്റെ കൈയിൽനിന്ന് നിങ്ങൾക്കു ലഭിക്കാനിരിക്കുന്നത്. നിങ്ങൾ യാതനയിൽത്തന്നെ കഴിയേണ്ടിവരും.
౧౧ఇదిగో, నిప్పులు వెలిగించి మీ చుట్టూ మంటలను పెట్టుకొనే వారంతా మీ అగ్ని వెలుగులో, మీరు వెలిగించిన మంటల్లో నడవండి. ఇది మీకు నా చేతినుండే కలుగుతున్నది. మీరు వేదనతో పండుకుంటారు.
