യെശയ്യാവ് 61

1 ദരിദ്രരോടു സുവിശേഷം അറിയിക്കാൻ യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് എന്നെ അഭിഷേകം ചെയ്തിരിക്കുകയാൽ അവിടത്തെ ആത്മാവ് എന്റെമേലുണ്ട്. ഹൃദയം തകർന്നവരുടെ മുറിവു കെട്ടുന്നതിനും തടവുകാർക്കു സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നതിനും ബന്ധിതരെ മോചിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും അവിടന്ന് എന്നെ അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

౧ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఆత్మ నా మీద ఉన్నాడు. అణగారిన వారికి శుభవార్త ప్రకటించడానికి యెహోవా నన్ను అభిషేకించాడు. గుండె పగిలిన వారిని బాగుచేయడానికి బందీలుగా ఉన్నవారికి విడుదల, ఖైదీలకు విముక్తి ప్రకటించడానికి,

2 യഹോവയുടെ പ്രസാദവർഷവും നമ്മുടെ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ പ്രതികാരദിവസവും പ്രസംഗിക്കാനും വിലപിക്കുന്നവരെയെല്ലാം ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കാനും

౨యెహోవా దయావత్సరాన్నీ మన దేవుని ప్రతిదండన దినాన్నీ ప్రకటించడానికి, దుఃఖించే వారందరినీ ఓదార్చడానికి ఆయన నన్ను పంపాడు.

3 സീയോനിലെ ദുഃഖിതർക്കു— വെണ്ണീറിനു പകരം തലപ്പാവ് അലങ്കാരമായും വിലാപത്തിനു പകരം ആനന്ദതൈലവും വിഷാദഹൃദയത്തിനു പകരം സ്തുതിയെന്ന മേലങ്കിയും നൽകുവാനും, അവിടന്ന് എന്നെ അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. അവിടത്തെ മഹത്ത്വം വെളിപ്പെടുത്തേണ്ടതിന് യഹോവ നട്ടുവളർത്തിയ നീതിയുടെ ഓക്കുമരങ്ങളാണ് അവർ എന്നു വിളിക്കപ്പെടും.

౩సీయోనులో దుఃఖించేవారిని చక్కపెట్టడానికి, బూడిదకు బదులు అందమైన తలపాగా, దుఃఖానికి బదులు ఆనందతైలం, కుంగిన మనసు బదులు స్తుతి వస్త్రం వారికివ్వడానికి ఆయన నన్ను పంపాడు. నీతి విషయంలో మస్తకి వృక్షాలనీ యెహోవా ఘనతకోసం నాటిన చెట్లు అనీ వారిని పిలుస్తారు.

4 അവർ പൗരാണിക ശൂന്യശിഷ്ടങ്ങളെ പുതുക്കിപ്പണിയും, പണ്ടു തകർക്കപ്പെട്ടതെല്ലാം കെട്ടിയുയർത്തും; ശൂന്യനഗരങ്ങളെ അവർ പുനരുദ്ധരിക്കും, തലമുറകളായി ശൂന്യമായിക്കിടക്കുന്നവയെത്തന്നെ.

౪పురాతన శిథిలాలను వాళ్ళు కడతారు. గతంలో పాడైపోయిన స్థలాలను తిరిగి కడతారు. తరతరాలనుంచి శిథిలమైపోయిన పట్టణాలను మళ్ళీ నిర్మిస్తారు.

5 അപരിചിതർ നിങ്ങളുടെ ആട്ടിൻപറ്റങ്ങളെ മേയിക്കും; വിദേശികൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ നിലങ്ങളിലും മുന്തിരിത്തോപ്പുകളിലും പണിയെടുക്കും.

౫విదేశీయులు నిలబడి మీ మందలను మేపుతారు. విదేశీయుల పిల్లలు మీ పొలాల్లో ద్రాక్షతోటల్లో పనిచేస్తారు.

6 എന്നാൽ നിങ്ങൾ യഹോവയുടെ പുരോഹിതന്മാരെന്നു വിളിക്കപ്പെടും, നിങ്ങൾക്കു നമ്മുടെ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ ശുശ്രൂഷകർ എന്ന പേരു നൽകപ്പെടും. നിങ്ങൾ ഇതര രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളുടെ സമ്പത്ത് അനുഭവിക്കും, അവരുടെ ധനം നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രശംസാവിഷയമായിത്തീരും.

౬మిమ్మల్ని యెహోవా యాజకులని పిలుస్తారు. మా దేవుని సేవకులని మిమ్మల్ని పిలుస్తారు. రాజ్యాల ఐశ్వర్యాన్ని మీరు అనుభవిస్తారు. వాటి సమృద్ధిలో మీరు అతిశయిస్తారు.

7 നിങ്ങളുടെ ലജ്ജയ്ക്കു പകരമായി നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഇരട്ടി പ്രതിഫലം ലഭിക്കും, അപമാനത്തിനു പകരം നിങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ അവകാശത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് ആനന്ദിക്കും. അങ്ങനെ നിങ്ങളുടെ ദേശത്ത് ഇരട്ടി ഓഹരി നിങ്ങൾക്കു ലഭിക്കും, ശാശ്വതമായ ആനന്ദം നിങ്ങൾക്കുണ്ടാകും.

౭మీ అవమానానికి బదులు మీకు రెట్టింపు దీవెనలు వస్తాయి. నిందకు బదులు తమకు లభించిన భాగాన్ని బట్టి వాళ్ళు సంతోషిస్తారు. తమ దేశంలో రెట్టింపు భాగం వారి స్వాధీనం అవుతుంది. నిత్యానందం వారిది అవుతుంది.

8 “കാരണം യഹോവ ആകുന്ന ഞാൻ, നീതിയെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു; കവർച്ചയും അതിക്രമവും ഞാൻ വെറുക്കുന്നു. ഞാൻ വിശ്വസ്തതയോടെ എന്റെ ജനത്തിനു പ്രതിഫലംനൽകും, അവരുമായി ഒരു നിത്യ ഉടമ്പടിയും ചെയ്യും.

౮ఎందుకంటే న్యాయం చేయడం యెహోవా అనే నాకు ఇష్టం. దోచుకోవడం, అన్యాయంగా ఒకడి సొత్తు తీసుకోవడం అంటే నాకు అసహ్యం. నమ్మకంగా నేను వారికి తిరిగి ఇచ్చేస్తాను. వారితో శాశ్వతమైన ఒడంబడిక చేస్తాను.

9 അവരുടെ സന്തതി രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്കിടയിലും അവരുടെ പിൻഗാമികൾ ജനതകൾക്കിടയിലും അറിയപ്പെടും. അവരെ കാണുന്നവരെല്ലാം അവർ യഹോവ അനുഗ്രഹിച്ച ജനം എന്ന് അംഗീകരിക്കും.”

౯రాజ్యాల్లో వారి సంతతివారు, జాతుల్లో వారి సంతానం పేరు పొందుతారు. వారిని చూసే వారంతా వారు యెహోవా దీవించినవారని ఒప్పుకుంటారు.

10 ഞാൻ യഹോവയിൽ അത്യന്തം ആനന്ദിക്കുന്നു; എന്റെ ഹൃദയം എന്റെ ദൈവത്തിൽ സന്തോഷിക്കുന്നു. മണവാളൻ തന്റെ ശിരസ്സ് പുരോഹിതനെപ്പോലെ തലപ്പാവുകൊണ്ട് അലങ്കരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും മണവാട്ടി ആഭരണങ്ങൾ അണിയുന്നതുപോലെയും അവിടന്ന് എന്നെ രക്ഷാവസ്ത്രം ധരിപ്പിക്കുകയും നീതിയെന്ന പുറങ്കുപ്പായം അണിയിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.

౧౦పెళ్ళికొడుకు అందమైన తలపాగా ధరించుకున్నట్టు, పెళ్ళికూతురు నగలతో అలంకరించుకున్నట్టు ఆయన నాకు రక్షణ వస్త్రాలు ధరింపచేశాడు. నీతి అనే అంగీ నాకు తొడిగించాడు. యెహోవాను బట్టి ఎంతో ఆనందిస్తున్నాను. నా దేవుణ్ణి బట్టి నా ఆత్మ ఉత్సాహపడుతూ ఉంది.

11 ഭൂമി അതിൽ തൈകളെ മുളപ്പിക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും തോട്ടം അതിൽ വിതച്ച വിത്തു കിളിർപ്പിക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് സകലജനതകളുടെയും മുമ്പിൽ നീതിയും സ്തോത്രവും ഉയർന്നുവരാൻ ഇടയാക്കും.

౧౧భూమి మొక్కను మొలిపించేలాగా, మొలిచే వాటిని ఎదిగేలా చేసే తోటలాగా రాజ్యాలన్నిటిముందు యెహోవా ప్రభువు నీతినీ స్తుతినీ మొలకెత్తేలా చేస్తాడు.
