യെശയ്യാവ് 6
1 ഉസ്സീയാരാജാവ് മരിച്ച വർഷത്തിൽ ഉത്തുംഗവും ഉന്നതവുമായ സിംഹാസനത്തിൽ ഉപവിഷ്ടനായിരിക്കുന്ന കർത്താവിനെ ഞാൻ കണ്ടു; അവിടത്തെ അങ്കിയുടെ തൊങ്ങലുകൾ ആലയത്തെ നിറച്ചിരുന്നു.
౧రాజైన ఉజ్జియా చనిపోయిన సంవత్సరం అత్యున్నతమైన సింహాసనంపై ప్రభువు కూర్చుని ఉండగా నేను చూశాను. ఆయన అంగీ అంచులు దేవాలయాన్ని నింపివేశాయి.
2 സാറാഫുകൾ അവിടത്തെ മുകളിലായി നിന്നിരുന്നു; ഓരോ സാറാഫിനും ആറു ചിറകുവീതം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ട് അവർ മുഖം മൂടി; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ടു കാൽ മൂടി; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ടു പറന്നു.
౨ఆయనకు పైగా సెరాపులు నిలబడి ఉన్నారు. ఒక్కొక్కరికి ఆరేసి రెక్కలున్నాయి. ప్రతివాడూ రెండు రెక్కలతో తన ముఖాన్ని, రెంటితో తన కాళ్లను కప్పుకుంటూ రెంటితో ఎగురుతున్నారు.
3 അവർ പരസ്പരം ഇപ്രകാരം വിളിച്ചുപറയുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു: “സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ പരിശുദ്ധൻ, പരിശുദ്ധൻ, പരിശുദ്ധൻ; ഭൂമി മുഴുവൻ അവിടത്തെ മഹത്ത്വംകൊണ്ടു നിറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു.”
౩వారు “సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా, పరిశుద్ధుడు, పరిశుద్ధుడు, పరిశుద్ధుడు. లోకమంతా ఆయన మహిమతో నిండి ఉంది” అని గొప్ప స్వరంతో గాన ప్రతిగానాలు చేస్తున్నారు.
4 അവർ ആർക്കുന്ന ശബ്ദത്താൽ ആലയത്തിന്റെ കട്ടിളക്കാലുകളും വാതിൽപ്പടികളും കുലുങ്ങി; ആലയം പുകകൊണ്ടു നിറഞ്ഞു.
౪వారి కంఠస్వరానికి తలుపులు, గడపలు కంపిస్తున్నాయి. మందిరం నిండా పొగ అలుముకుంది.
5 അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ, “എനിക്ക് അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം! ഞാൻ നശിച്ചു! ഞാൻ അശുദ്ധ അധരങ്ങളുള്ള ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ; അശുദ്ധമായ അധരങ്ങളുള്ള ജനത്തിന്റെ നടുവിൽ പാർക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു; എന്റെ കണ്ണ് സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ രാജാവിനെ കണ്ടല്ലോ” എന്നു കരഞ്ഞു.
౫నేను “అయ్యో, నావి అపవిత్రమైన పెదాలు. అపవిత్రమైన పెదాలున్న జనం మధ్య నివసిస్తున్నాను. నేను నశించాను. రాజు, సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవాను నేను కన్నులారా చూశాను” అనుకున్నాను.
6 അപ്പോൾ സാറാഫുകളിൽ ഒരാൾ കൈയിൽ ജ്വലിക്കുന്ന ഒരു തീക്കനലുമായി എന്റെ അടുക്കൽ പറന്നെത്തി. അത് അദ്ദേഹം കൊടിൽകൊണ്ട് യാഗപീഠത്തിൽനിന്ന് എടുത്തതായിരുന്നു.
౬అప్పుడు ఆ సెరాపుల్లో ఒకడు బలిపీఠం మీద నుండి పట్టుకారుతో ఎర్రగా కాలిన నిప్పు తీసి నా దగ్గరికి ఎగిరి వచ్చి నా నోటికి దాని తగిలించాడు.
7 ആ കനൽകൊണ്ട് എന്റെ അധരം സ്പർശിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് ആ ദൂതൻ പറഞ്ഞു: “നോക്കൂ, ഇതു നിന്റെ അധരങ്ങളെ സ്പർശിച്ചതിനാൽ, നിന്റെ അകൃത്യം നീക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു, നിന്റെ പാപം ക്ഷമിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.”
౭“ఇది నీ పెదాలకు తగిలింది గనక నీ పాపానికి ప్రాయశ్చిత్తం అయింది. నీ దోషం తొలగి పోయింది” అన్నాడు.
8 അതിനുശേഷം, “ഞാൻ ആരെ അയയ്ക്കേണ്ടൂ? ആർ നമുക്കുവേണ്ടി പോകും?” എന്നു ചോദിക്കുന്ന കർത്താവിന്റെ ശബ്ദം ഞാൻ കേട്ടു. “അടിയൻ ഇതാ! അടിയനെ അയയ്ക്കണമേ,” എന്നു ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞു.
౮అప్పుడు “నేను ఎవరిని పంపాలి? మా పక్షంగా ఎవరు వెళ్తారు?” అని ప్రభువు అంటుండగా విన్నాను. అప్పుడు నేను “ఇదుగో నేనున్నాను, నన్ను పంపు” అన్నాను.
9 അവിടന്ന് എന്നോട്: “നീ പോയി ഈ ജനത്തോടു പറയുക: “‘നിങ്ങൾ എപ്പോഴും കേട്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കും, എന്നാൽ ഒരിക്കലും ഗ്രഹിക്കുകയില്ല; നിങ്ങൾ എപ്പോഴും കണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കും, എന്നാൽ ഒരിക്കലും ഗ്രഹിക്കുകയില്ല.’
౯ఆయన “నీవు వెళ్లి ఈ ప్రజలతో చెప్పు. మీరు అస్తమానం వింటూ ఉంటారు గానీ గ్రహించరు. ఎప్పుడూ చూస్తుంటారు గానీ తెలుసుకోరు.
10 ഈ ജനത്തിന്റെ ഹൃദയം കഠിനമാക്കുക അവരുടെ കാതുകൾ മന്ദമാക്കുക അവരുടെ കണ്ണുകൾ അന്ധമാക്കുക. അല്ലാത്തപക്ഷം അവർ തങ്ങളുടെ കണ്ണുകളാൽ കാണുകയും തങ്ങളുടെ കാതുകളാൽ കേൾക്കുകയും അവർ തങ്ങളുടെ ഹൃദയങ്ങളാൽ ഗ്രഹിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിട്ട്, മനസ്സുതിരിഞ്ഞു സൗഖ്യം പ്രാപിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുമല്ലോ,” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
౧౦వారు కళ్ళతో చూసి, చెవులతో విని, హృదయంతో గ్రహించి, మనస్సు మార్చుకుని, స్వస్థత పొందకుండా ఉండేలా ఈ ప్రజల హృదయం కొవ్వెక్కేలా చేసి, వారి చెవులకు చెవుడు, వారి కళ్ళకు గుడ్డితనం కలిగించు” అని చెప్పాడు.
11 “കർത്താവേ, എപ്പോൾവരെ?” എന്നു ഞാൻ ചോദിച്ചു. അവിടന്ന് ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു: “പട്ടണങ്ങൾ ശൂന്യമാകുന്നതുവരെ, നിവാസികൾ ഇല്ലാതാകുന്നതുവരെ, വീടുകൾ ആളില്ലാതാകുന്നതുവരെ, ദേശം പാഴും ശൂന്യവും ആകുന്നതുവരെത്തന്നെ,
౧౧“ప్రభూ, ఎన్నాళ్ల వరకు?” అని నేనడిగాను. ఆయన ఇలా అన్నాడు. “నివాసులు లేక పట్టణాలు, మనుష్యులు లేక ఇళ్ళు శిథిలమైపోయే దాకా, దేశం బొత్తిగా బీడుగా మారే దాకా,
12 യഹോവ എല്ലാവരെയും വിദൂരത്ത് അയയ്ക്കുന്നതുവരെ, ദേശംമുഴുവനും തീർത്തും നിർജനസ്ഥലം ആയിത്തീരുന്നതുവരെത്തന്നെ.
౧౨యెహోవా ప్రజలను దూరప్రాంతానికి తీసుకు పోయే దాకా, దేశం నిర్జనమై చవిటిపర్ర అయ్యే దాకా.”
13 അതിൽ ഒരു ദശാംശമെങ്കിലും ശേഷിച്ചാൽ, അതു പിന്നെയും ദഹിപ്പിക്കപ്പെടും. കരിമരവും കരുവേലകവും വെട്ടിയിട്ടശേഷം കുറ്റി ശേഷിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ വിശുദ്ധസന്തതി ഒരു കുറ്റിയായി ശേഷിക്കും.”
౧౩దానిలో పదవ భాగం మాత్రం మిగిలిపోయినా అది కూడా నాశనమౌతుంది. సింధూర మస్తకి వృక్షాలను నరికి వేసినా తరువాత మిగిలి ఉండే మొద్దులాగా అది ఉంటుంది. అలాటి మొద్దులో పరిశుద్ధమైన చిగురు ఉంది.
