യെശയ്യാവ് 54
1 “വന്ധ്യയായവളേ, ആർപ്പിടുക; ഒരു കുഞ്ഞിനും ജന്മം നൽകിയിട്ടില്ലാത്തവളേ, പൊട്ടിയാർക്കുക, പ്രസവവേദന എന്തെന്ന് അറിയാത്തവളേ, ആനന്ദത്താൽ ആർത്തുഘോഷിക്കുക; കാരണം, പരിത്യക്തയുടെ മക്കൾ ഭർത്താവുള്ളവളുടെ മക്കളെക്കാൾ അധികം,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౧“గొడ్రాలా, పిల్లలు కననిదానా, పాటలు పాడు. ఎన్నడూ ప్రసవవేదన పడనిదానా, సంతోషంతో గట్టిగా గానం చెయ్యి. పెళ్ళయిన స్త్రీ పిల్లలకంటే భర్త వదిలేసిన స్త్రీకి పుట్టే పిల్లలు ఎక్కువమంది” అని యెహోవా చెబుతున్నాడు.
2 “നിന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിന്റെ സ്ഥലം വിസ്തൃതമാക്കുക, നിന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിന്റെ തിരശ്ശീലകൾ വിശാലമായി നിവർക്കുക, അതു ചുരുക്കരുത്; നിന്റെ കയറുകൾ നീട്ടുകയും കുറ്റികൾ ബലവത്താക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുക.
౨నీ డేరా పెద్దదిగా చెయ్యి. నీ డేరా తెరలను ఇంకా పొడిగించు. నీ తాళ్ళు పొడుగు చెయ్యి. నీ మేకులు దిగ్గొట్టు.
3 നീ വലത്തോട്ടും ഇടത്തോട്ടും വിസ്തൃതമാകും; നിന്റെ സന്തതി ഇതരരാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾ കൈവശമാക്കുകയും അവരുടെ ശൂന്യനഗരങ്ങളിൽ പാർക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.
౩ఎందుకంటే నువ్వు కుడివైపుకూ ఎడమవైపుకూ వ్యాపిస్తావు. నీ సంతానం రాజ్యాలను స్వాధీనం చేసుకుంటుంది. పాడైన పట్టణాలను నివాస స్థలాలుగా చేస్తారు.
4 “ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ട; നീ ലജ്ജിതയാകുകയില്ല; പരിഭ്രമിക്കേണ്ട; നീ അപമാനിതയാകുകയില്ല. നിന്റെ യൗവനകാലത്തെ ലജ്ജ നീ മറക്കും, വൈധവ്യനിന്ദ മേലാൽ ഓർക്കുകയുമില്ല.
౪భయపడవద్దు. నువ్వు సిగ్గు పడనక్కరలేదు. నీకు అవమానం కలగదు. అధైర్య పడవద్దు. చిన్నతనంలోని నీ అవమానాన్నీ సిగ్గునూ మరచిపోతావు. నీ వైధవ్యపు నిందను ఇకమీదట జ్ఞాపకం చేసుకోవు.
5 നിന്റെ സ്രഷ്ടാവുതന്നെ നിന്റെ ഭർത്താവ്— സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ എന്നാണ് അവിടത്തെ നാമം— ഇസ്രായേലിന്റെ പരിശുദ്ധനാണ് നിന്റെ വീണ്ടെടുപ്പുകാരൻ; അവിടന്നു സകലഭൂമിയുടെയും ദൈവം എന്നു വിളിക്കപ്പെടും.
౫నిన్ను సృష్టించినవాడు నీకు భర్త. ఆయన పేరు సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా. ఇశ్రాయేలు పరిశుద్ధ దేవుడు నీకు విమోచకుడు. లోమంతటికీ దేవుడు అని ఆయన్ని పిలుస్తారు.
6 പരിത്യക്തയായി ആത്മാവിൽ വേദന പൂണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന സ്ത്രീയെ എന്നപോലെ യൗവനത്തിൽ വിവാഹംകഴിഞ്ഞയുടനെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഭാര്യയെപ്പോലെയുള്ള നിന്നെ യഹോവ തിരികെ വിളിക്കും,” എന്നു നിന്റെ ദൈവം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౬భర్త వదిలి వేయగా ఎంతో విచారంతో ఉన్న భార్యను భర్త తిరిగి రప్పించినట్టు, పడుచుతనంలో పెళ్ళిచేసుకుని తృణీకారానికి గురి అయిన భార్యను తిరిగి రప్పించినట్టుగా యెహోవా నిన్ను తిరిగి రప్పించాడని, నీ దేవుడు చెబుతున్నాడు.
7 “അൽപ്പനിമിഷത്തേക്കുമാത്രം ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചു, എങ്കിലും മഹാദയയോടെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ചേർത്തുകൊള്ളും.
౭కొంతసేపే నేను నిన్ను వదిలేశాను. అయితే ఎంతో జాలితో నేను నిన్ను చేరదీస్తాను.
8 തിളച്ചുമറിഞ്ഞ കോപംനിമിത്തം ഞാൻ നിമിഷനേരത്തേക്ക് എന്റെ മുഖം നിനക്കു മറച്ചുകളഞ്ഞു, എങ്കിലും ശാശ്വത കാരുണ്യത്തോടെ ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു കരുണകാണിക്കും,” എന്നു നിന്റെ വീണ്ടെടുപ്പുകാരനായ യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౮కాసేపే నీమీద కోపంతో నా ముఖం దాచాను. నీ మీద జాలి చూపిస్తాను. నిన్నెప్పటికీ నమ్మకంగా ప్రేమిస్తానని నిన్ను విమోచించే యెహోవా చెబుతున్నాడు.
9 “ഇത് എനിക്കു നോഹയുടെ കാലത്തെ പ്രളയംപോലെയാണ്, നോഹയുടെ കാലത്തെപ്പോലെയുള്ള പ്രളയം ഭൂമിയിൽ മേലാൽ സംഭവിക്കുകയില്ലെന്നു ഞാൻ ശപഥംചെയ്തു. അതുപോലെ ഇനിയൊരിക്കലും നിന്നോടു കോപിഷ്ഠനാകുകയോ നിന്നെ ശകാരിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുകയില്ല എന്ന് ഇപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ ശപഥംചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
౯“ఇది నాకు నోవహు రోజుల్లోని జలప్రళయంలాగా ఉంది. భూమి మీదికి ఇంకెప్పుడూ జలప్రళయం రాదని నేను ప్రమాణం చేశాను. అలాగే, నీ మీద కోపంగా ఉండననీ నిన్ను గద్దించననీ ప్రమాణం చేశాను.
10 പർവതങ്ങൾ ഇളകിപ്പോകും, കുന്നുകൾ മാറിപ്പോകും, എങ്കിലും എന്റെ അചഞ്ചലസ്നേഹം നിന്നെവിട്ടു നീങ്ങുകയോ എന്റെ സമാധാന ഉടമ്പടി ലംഘിക്കപ്പെടുകയോ ഇല്ല,” എന്നു നിന്നോടു കരുണാമയനായ യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౧౦పర్వతాలు కూలిపోయినా కొండలు కదిలినా నా కృప నీనుంచి తొలగిపోదు. నా శాంతి ఒడంబడిక, నిన్ను విడిచిపోదు” అని నీ మీద జాలిపడే యెహోవా చెబుతున్నాడు.
11 “പീഡിതയും കൊടുങ്കാറ്റിൽപ്പെട്ട് ഉഴലുന്ന ആശ്വാസരഹിതയുമായ പട്ടണമേ, ഞാൻ നിന്നെ പത്മരാഗംകൊണ്ട് പുനർനിർമിക്കും, ഇന്ദ്രനീലക്കല്ലുകൊണ്ടു നിന്റെ അടിസ്ഥാനമിടുകയും ചെയ്യും.
౧౧బాధపడుతున్న దానా! తుఫాను బాధితురాలా, ఆదరణలేనిదానా! నేను నీ కాలిబాట వైడూర్యాలతో చేస్తాను. నీలమణులతో నీ పునాదులు వేస్తాను.
12 ഞാൻ നിന്റെ താഴികക്കുടങ്ങൾ മാണിക്യംകൊണ്ടും നിന്റെ കവാടങ്ങൾ പുഷ്യരാഗംകൊണ്ടും നിന്റെ മതിലുകൾ മുഴുവനും വിലയേറിയ കല്ലുകൾകൊണ്ടും നിർമിക്കും.
౧౨కెంపులతో నీ కోట బురుజులను, మెరిసే రాళ్ళతో నీ గుమ్మాలను, విలువైన రత్నాలతో నీ గోడలను నిర్మిస్తాను.
13 നിന്റെ മക്കൾ എല്ലാവരും യഹോവയാൽ അഭ്യസിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടവരാകും, അവർ വളരെ വലിയ സമാധാനം അനുഭവിക്കും.
౧౩యెహోవా నీ పిల్లలందరికీ బోధిస్తాడు. నీ పిల్లలకు పరిపూర్ణమైన నెమ్మది ఉంటుంది.
14 നീതിയിൽ നീ സുസ്ഥിരയായിത്തീരും: നിഷ്ഠുരവാഴ്ച നിന്നിൽനിന്ന് അകന്നിരിക്കും; നിനക്കു ഭയമുണ്ടാകുകയില്ല. ഭീതിയോ, നിന്നിൽനിന്നു വളരെ അകലെ ആയിരിക്കും; അതു നിന്റെ അടുത്തു വരികയില്ല.
౧౪నీతితో నిన్ను తిరిగి స్థాపిస్తాను. నువ్వు ఇంకెన్నటికీ హింస అనుభవించవు. నువ్వు భయపడనక్కరలేదు. నిన్ను భయపెట్టేది నీ దగ్గరికి రాదు.
15 ആരെങ്കിലും നിനക്കെതിരേ യുദ്ധംചെയ്യുന്നെങ്കിൽ, അത് എന്റെ ഹിതപ്രകാരം ആയിരിക്കുകയില്ല; നിന്നെ ആക്രമിക്കുന്നവരെല്ലാം നിനക്കു കീഴടങ്ങുകതന്നെചെയ്യും.
౧౫ఎవరైనా చిక్కు తెస్తే, అది నా వలన కాదు. చిక్కు తెచ్చే వారెవరైనా ఓడిపోతారు.
16 “ഇതാ, ഞാനാണ്, കരിക്കട്ടമേൽ കാറ്റടിച്ച് അഗ്നിജ്വാല ഉണ്ടാക്കുകയും അതതു പണിക്കുള്ള ആയുധം നിർമിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ഇരുമ്പുപണിക്കാരന്റെയും സ്രഷ്ടാവ്. വിനാശം വിതയ്ക്കാനായി സംഹാരകനെയും സൃഷ്ടിച്ചത് ഞാനാണ്.
౧౬ఇదిగో విను! నిప్పులు ఊదే కమ్మరిని నేనే చేశాను. అతడు అక్కడ ఆయుధాలను చేస్తాడు. నాశనం చేయడానికి నాశనం చేసేవాణ్ణి చేసింది నేనే.
17 നിന്നെ എതിർക്കാനായി നിർമിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ആയുധവും സഫലമാകുകയില്ല, നിനക്കെതിരേ കുറ്റമാരോപിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാ വാദമുഖങ്ങളെയും നീ ഖണ്ഡിക്കും. ഇത് യഹോവയുടെ ദാസന്മാരുടെ അവകാശവും എന്റെ പക്കൽനിന്ന് അവർക്കു ലഭിക്കുന്ന കുറ്റവിമുക്തിയുമാണ്,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
౧౭నీకు విరోధంగా తయారైన ఎలాంటి ఆయుధమూ గెలవదు. నీ మీద నేరారోపణ చేసే వారందరినీ నువ్వు శిక్షిస్తావు. యెహోవా సేవకులకు ఈ హక్కు ఉంటుంది. వారిని నిర్దోషులని నిరూపించడం నా వల్ల అవుతుంది. యెహోవా ప్రకటించేది ఇదే.
