യിരെമ്യാവു 33

1 യിരെമ്യാവിനെ കാവൽപ്പുരമുറ്റത്തു തടവിലാക്കിയിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് രണ്ടാംപ്രാവശ്യം അദ്ദേഹത്തിനുണ്ടായി:

౧యిర్మీయా ఇంకా చెరసాలలో ఉన్నప్పుడు యెహోవా వాక్కు రెండోసారి అతనికి ప్రత్యక్షమై ఇలా చెప్పాడు.

2 “ഭൂമിയെ നിർമിച്ച് സ്വസ്ഥാനത്ത് സ്ഥിരപ്പെടുത്തിയ യഹോവ—അതേ, യഹോവ എന്നാകുന്നു അവിടത്തെ നാമം—ആ യഹോവതന്നെ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.

౨“సృష్టికర్త అయిన యెహోవా, రూపించిన దాన్ని స్థిరపరిచే యెహోవా, యెహోవా అనే పేరు గలవాడు ఇలా అంటున్నాడు,

3 ‘എന്നെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കുക, ഞാൻ നിനക്ക് ഉത്തരമരുളും; നീ അറിയാത്ത മഹത്തും അഗോചരവുമായ കാര്യങ്ങൾ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ അറിയിക്കും.’

౩నాకు మొర పెట్టు, అప్పుడు నేను నీకు జవాబిస్తాను. నువ్వు గ్రహించలేని గొప్ప సంగతులు, నీకు అర్థం కాని మర్మాలు నీకు వివరిస్తాను.

4 ബാബേല്യരുമായുള്ള യുദ്ധത്തിൽ ഉപരോധത്തിന്റെ ചരിഞ്ഞ പാതയ്ക്കും വാളിനുമെതിരായി ഉപയോഗിക്കേണ്ടതിന് ഈ നഗരത്തിൽ തകർക്കപ്പെട്ട വീടുകളെയും യെഹൂദയിലെ രാജകൊട്ടാരങ്ങളെയുംകുറിച്ച് ഇസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ഇതാണ് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നത്:

౪ముట్టడి దిబ్బల వలనా, ఖడ్గం వలనా నాశనమైన పట్టణంలోని యూదా రాజుల గృహాల విషయంలో ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడైన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు.

5 ‘അത് എന്റെ കോപത്തിലും ക്രോധത്തിലും ഞാൻ കൊന്നുകളഞ്ഞ മനുഷ്യരുടെ ശവങ്ങൾകൊണ്ട് അവയെ നിറയ്ക്കും. അവരുടെ സകലദുഷ്ടതകളുംനിമിത്തം ഞാൻ എന്റെ മുഖത്തെ ഈ നഗരത്തിനു മറച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

౫‘యుద్ధం చెయ్యడానికి కల్దీయులు వస్తున్నారు. నా ఉగ్రతను బట్టి, నా ఆగ్రహాన్ని బట్టి, తమ దుష్టత్వం కారణంగా నేను ఈ పట్టణం నుండి ముఖం తిప్పేసుకున్నందు వల్ల హతమయ్యే ప్రజల శవాలతో ఆ ఇళ్ళను నింపడానికి వారు వస్తున్నారు.

6 “‘ഇതാ, ഞാൻ അവർക്ക് ആരോഗ്യവും സൗഖ്യവും വരുത്തും; ഞാൻ എന്റെ ജനത്തെ സൗഖ്യമാക്കുകയും സമാധാനത്തിന്റെയും സത്യത്തിന്റെയും സമൃദ്ധി ആസ്വദിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ അവരെ അനുവദിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.

౬కాని, చూడు, నేను ఆరోగ్యం, స్వస్థత తీసుకొస్తాను. నేను వాళ్ళను స్వస్థపరిచి వాళ్ళను సమృద్ధిలోకి, శాంతిలోకి, నమ్మకత్వంలోకి తీసుకొస్తాను.

7 ഞാൻ ഇസ്രായേലിനെയും യെഹൂദയെയും അടിമത്തത്തിൽനിന്നു മടക്കിവരുത്തുകയും അവർ പണ്ട് ആയിരുന്നതുപോലെ അവരെ വീണ്ടും പണിതുയർത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും.

౭యూదా, ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలకు వాళ్ళ భాగ్యం మళ్ళీ తీసుకొస్తాను. ఆరంభంలో ఉన్నట్టు వాళ్ళను నిర్మాణం చేస్తాను.

8 അവർ എനിക്കെതിരേ ചെയ്ത അവരുടെ എല്ലാ പാപങ്ങളിൽനിന്നും ഞാൻ അവരെ ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കും, അവർ എനിക്കെതിരേ മത്സരിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു ചെയ്ത എല്ലാ പാപങ്ങളും ഞാൻ അവരോടു ക്ഷമിക്കും.

౮అప్పుడు వాళ్ళు నాకు విరోధంగా చేసిన దోషాల నుంచి వాళ్ళను పవిత్రం చేస్తాను. నాకు విరోధంగా చేసిన వాళ్ళ దోషాలనూ తిరుగుబాటునూ క్షమిస్తాను.

9 ഞാൻ ഈ നഗരത്തിനുവേണ്ടി ചെയ്യുന്ന, സകലനന്മകളെയുംകുറിച്ച് ഭൂമിയിലെ എല്ലാ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളും കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ, അവരുടെമുമ്പിൽ എനിക്കു കീർത്തിയും ആനന്ദവും സ്തോത്രവും മഹത്ത്വവും ഈ നഗരം കൊണ്ടുവരും; ഞാൻ അവർക്കു ചെയ്യുന്ന എല്ലാ നന്മകളും സമാധാനവും നിമിത്തം സ്തബ്ധരാകുകയും ഭയന്നുവിറയ്ക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.’

౯నేను వాళ్ళ కోసం చెయ్యబోతున్న మంచి సంగతులు విన్న భూజనులందరి ఎదుట, వాళ్ళు నా ఆనందానికి, స్తోత్ర గీతానికి, ఘనతకు కారణంగా ఉంటారు. నేను వారికి ఇచ్చే మంచి విషయాలు, శాంతి కారణంగా వాళ్ళు భయపడతారు.’”

10 “യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘മനുഷ്യരോ മൃഗങ്ങളോ ഇല്ലാത്ത പാഴുംശൂന്യവുമായ സ്ഥലം, എന്ന് ഈ സ്ഥലത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് നിങ്ങൾ പറയുന്നു. എന്നാൽ ശൂന്യവും, മനുഷ്യരോ മൃഗങ്ങളോ അധിവസിക്കാത്തതുമായ യെഹൂദാപട്ടണങ്ങളിലും ജെറുശലേമിന്റെ വീഥികളിലും ഇനിയൊരിക്കൽക്കൂടി,

౧౦యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “‘ఇది నివాసయోగ్యం కాదు, యూదా పట్టణాల్లో మనుషులు లేరు, జంతువులు లేవు, యెరూషలేము వీధుల్లో జనంగానీ, జంతువులుగానీ లేవు’ అని మీరు చెప్పే ఈ స్థలాల్లోనే,

11 ആനന്ദത്തിന്റെയും ആഹ്ലാദത്തിന്റെയും ആരവങ്ങളും മണവാളന്റെയും മണവാട്ടിയുടെയും തേൻമൊഴികളും യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിലേക്കു സ്തോത്രയാഗങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ടുവന്ന്, “‘“സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയ്ക്കു സ്തോത്രംചെയ്‌വിൻ, യഹോവ നല്ലവനല്ലോ; അവിടത്തെ അചഞ്ചലസ്നേഹം ശാശ്വതമായിരിക്കുന്നു,” എന്നു പറയുന്നവരുടെ ശബ്ദങ്ങളും കേൾക്കപ്പെടും. കാരണം ഈ ദേശത്തിന്റെ സമ്പൽസമൃദ്ധി ഞാൻ തിരികെ നൽകും,’ എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളുന്നു.

౧౧సంతోష స్వరం, ఆనంద శబ్దం, పెళ్ళికొడుకు, పెళ్ళికూతురు స్వరాలు ఇలా అంటాయి, ‘సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవాకు స్తుతి చెల్లించండి, యెహోవా మంచివాడు, ఆయన నిబంధనా నమ్మకత్వం నిరంతరం ఉంటుంది.’ స్తుతి అర్పణ నా మందిరంలోకి తీసుకు రండి, ఎందుకంటే ముందు ఉన్నట్టుగానే ఈ దేశపు భాగ్యం మళ్ళీ దానికి కలుగజేస్తాను,” అని యెహోవా అంటున్నాడు.

12 “സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘മനുഷ്യനോ മൃഗമോ ഇല്ലാതെ ശൂന്യമായിക്കിടന്ന ഈ സ്ഥലത്തും അതിലെ എല്ലാ പട്ടണങ്ങളിലും ആട്ടിൻപറ്റത്തിനു വിശ്രമം നൽകുന്ന ഇടയന്മാരുടെ മേച്ചിൽപ്പുറം ഉണ്ടാകും.

౧౨సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు “మనుషులు, జంతువులు లేక పాడైపోయిన ఈ పట్టణాలు, కాపరులు తమ గొర్రెలను మేపే ప్రాంతాలుగా, వాటిని విశ్రమింపజేసే ప్రదేశాలుగా ఉంటాయి.

13 മലമ്പ്രദേശത്തുള്ള പട്ടണങ്ങളിലും പശ്ചിമഭാഗത്തെ കുന്നിൻപ്രദേശത്തെ പട്ടണങ്ങളിലും ദക്ഷിണദേശത്തെ പട്ടണങ്ങളിലും ബെന്യാമീൻദേശത്തും ജെറുശലേമിനു ചുറ്റുമുള്ള ഗ്രാമങ്ങളിലും യെഹൂദാപട്ടണങ്ങളിലും ആട്ടിൻപറ്റത്തെ എണ്ണിനോക്കുന്നവരുടെ കൈക്കീഴിലൂടെ അജഗണങ്ങൾ കടന്നുപോകുമെന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.

౧౩మన్య పట్టణాల్లో, మైదానపు పట్టణాల్లో, దక్షిణ దేశపు పట్టణాల్లో, బెన్యామీను దేశంలో, యెరూషలేము ప్రాంతంలో, యూదా పట్టణాల్లో మందలు లెక్కించుకుంటూ తిరుగుతారు.”

14 “‘ഇതാ, ഇസ്രായേൽജനത്തിനും യെഹൂദാജനത്തിനും ഞാൻ അരുളിയിട്ടുള്ള നല്ല വാഗ്ദാനം ഞാൻതന്നെ നിറവേറ്റുന്ന കാലം വരുന്നു,’ എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.

౧౪యెహోవా వాక్కు ఇదే. “చూడు! ఇశ్రాయేలు, యూదా ప్రజలకు నేను చేసిన వాగ్దానాలు నెరవేర్చే రోజులు వస్తున్నాయి.

15 “‘ആ നാളുകളിലും ആ കാലത്തും ദാവീദിന്റെ നീതിയുള്ള ശാഖയായവൻ ഉയർന്നുവരാൻ ഞാൻ ഇടവരുത്തും. അവൻ ഭൂമിയിൽ ന്യായവും നീതിയും നടപ്പിലാക്കും.

౧౫ఆ రోజుల్లో, ఆ సమయంలో నేను దావీదు కోసం నీతి చిగురు మొలిపిస్తాను. అతడు దేశంలో నీతి న్యాయాలను జరిగిస్తాడు.

16 ആ ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ യെഹൂദാ രക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടും, ജെറുശലേം സുരക്ഷിതരായി ജീവിക്കും. യഹോവ നമ്മുടെ നീതിമാനായ രക്ഷകൻ, എന്ന പേരിനാൽ അദ്ദേഹം അറിയപ്പെടും.’

౧౬ఆ రోజుల్లో యూదా వాళ్ళు రక్షణ పొందుతారు. యెరూషలేము నివాసులు సురక్షితంగా ఉంటారు. ‘యెహోవాయే మనకు నీతి’ అని యెరూషలేముకు పేరు ఉంటుంది.”

17 കാരണം യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘ഇസ്രായേൽഗൃഹത്തിന്റെ സിംഹാസനത്തിൽ ഇരിക്കാൻ ദാവീദിന് ഒരു പുരുഷൻ ഇല്ലാതെ വരികയില്ല,

౧౭ఎందుకంటే, యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు “ఇశ్రాయేలు సింహాసనం మీద కూర్చోడానికి దావీదు సంతతివాడు ఒకడు లేకుండా పోడు,

18 ദിനംതോറും ഹോമയാഗങ്ങൾ അർപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും ഭോജനയാഗങ്ങൾ ദഹിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും മറ്റു യാഗങ്ങൾ അർപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും ലേവ്യപുരോഹിതന്മാർക്ക് എന്റെമുമ്പാകെ നിൽക്കാൻ ഒരു പുരുഷൻ ഇല്ലാതെപോകുകയുമില്ല.’”

౧౮నా సన్నిధిలో నిత్యం దహన బలులు అర్పించడానికీ, నైవేద్యాలు అర్పించడానికీ, ధాన్య అర్పణలు అర్పించడానికీ యాజకులైన లేవీయుల్లో ఒకడు ఎప్పుడూ లేకుండా ఉండడు.”

19 യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് യിരെമ്യാവിന് ഉണ്ടായി:

౧౯యెహోవా వాక్కు యిర్మీయాకు ప్రత్యక్షమై ఇలా చెప్పాడు,

20 “യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘ഞാൻ പകലിനോടുചെയ്ത എന്റെ ഉടമ്പടിയും രാത്രിയോടുചെയ്ത എന്റെ ഉടമ്പടിയും ലംഘിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് പകലും രാത്രിയും അതതിന്റെ നിശ്ചിതസമയത്ത് വരാതെയാക്കാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്കു കഴിയുമെങ്കിൽ,

౨౦యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “దివారాత్రులు, వాటి సమయాల్లో అవి ఉండకుండా నేను పగటికి చేసిన నిబంధన, రాత్రికి చేసిన నిబంధన మీరు వ్యర్ధం చెయ్యగలిగితే,

21 എന്റെ ദാസനായ ദാവീദിന് അവന്റെ സിംഹാസനത്തിലിരിക്കാൻ ഒരു മകൻ ഇല്ലാതെവരത്തക്കവിധം അവനോടുള്ള എന്റെ ഉടമ്പടിയും എന്റെമുമ്പാകെ ശുശ്രൂഷചെയ്യുന്ന ലേവ്യപുരോഹിതന്മാരോടുമുള്ള എന്റെ ഉടമ്പടിയും ലംഘിക്കപ്പെടാം.

౨౧అప్పుడు, నా సేవకుడైన దావీదు సింహాసనం మీద కూర్చుని పాలించే వారసుడు అతనికి ఉండకుండా మానడని అతనితో, నా సేవకులైన లేవీయులతో, యాజకులతో నేను చేసిన నా నిబంధన వ్యర్ధం అవుతుంది.

22 ആകാശത്തിലെ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളെ എണ്ണിനോക്കാനും കടൽത്തീരത്തെ മണലിനെ അളക്കാനും കഴിയാത്തതുപോലെ എന്റെ ദാസനായ ദാവീദിന്റെ സന്തതിയെയും എനിക്കു ശുശ്രൂഷചെയ്യുന്ന ലേവ്യരെയും ഞാൻ അസംഖ്യമായി വർധിപ്പിക്കും.’”

౨౨ఆకాశ నక్షత్రాలు, సముద్రపు ఇసుక రేణువులు లెక్కపెట్టడం సాధ్యం కానట్టే, నా సేవకుడైన దావీదు సంతానాన్ని, నాకు సేవ చేసే లేవీయులను లెక్క పెట్టలేనంతగా నేను అధికం చేస్తాను.”

23 യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് ഇപ്രകാരം യിരെമ്യാവിനുണ്ടായി:

౨౩యెహోవా వాక్కు యిర్మీయాకు ప్రత్యక్షమై ఇలా చెప్పాడు,

24 “‘യഹോവ തെരഞ്ഞെടുത്ത രണ്ടു രാജ്യങ്ങളെയും അവിടന്നു തള്ളിക്കളഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു,’ എന്നിങ്ങനെ ഈ ജനങ്ങൾ പറയുന്ന വാക്ക് നീ ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചില്ലേ? ഇങ്ങനെ അവർ എന്റെ ജനതയെ നിന്ദിക്കുന്നു, തുടർന്ന് അവരെ ഒരു രാഷ്ട്രമായി പരിഗണിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.

౨౪తాను ఏర్పరచుకున్న రెండు వంశాలను యెహోవా తిరస్కరించాడు, నా ప్రజలు ఇకమీదట తమ దృష్టిలో ఒక జనాంగంగా ఉండరు, అని, ఈ రకంగా నా ప్రజలను తృణీకరిస్తూ ఈ ప్రజలు చెప్పుకునే మాట గురించి నువ్వు ఆలోచించలేదా?

25 യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘പകലിനോടും രാത്രിയോടുമുള്ള എന്റെ ഉടമ്പടി നിലനിൽക്കുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ, ആകാശത്തിന്റെയും ഭൂമിയുടെയും നിശ്ചിതവ്യവസ്ഥ ഞാൻ നിയമിച്ചിട്ടില്ലെങ്കിൽ,

౨౫యెహోవానైన నేను ఇలా అంటున్నాను, “పగలు గురించి, రాత్రి గురించి, నేను చేసిన నిబంధన నిలకడగా ఉండకపోతే,

26 ഞാൻ യാക്കോബിന്റെയും എന്റെ ദാസനായ ദാവീദിന്റെയും സന്തതിയെ, അബ്രാഹാമിന്റെയും യിസ്ഹാക്കിന്റെയും യാക്കോബിന്റെയും സന്തതികൾക്കു ഭരണാധിപന്മാരായിരിക്കാൻ അവന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരിൽനിന്ന് ഒരാളെ എടുക്കാൻ സാധിക്കാത്തവിധം തള്ളിക്കളയും. എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ അവരുടെ പ്രവാസികളെ മടക്കിവരുത്തുകയും അവരോടു കരുണ കാണിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.’”

౨౬భూమ్యాకాశాలను గురించిన నిబంధన నిలిచి ఉండకపోతే, అప్పుడు మాత్రమే అబ్రాహాము ఇస్సాకు, యాకోబుల సంతానాన్ని పరిపాలించడానికి అతని సంతాన సంబంధి అయిన వ్యక్తిని ఏర్పరచుకోకుండా, నేను యాకోబు సంతానంలోని నా సేవకుడైన దావీదు సంతానాన్ని తృణీకరిస్తాను. కచ్చితంగా నేను వాళ్ళ పట్ల కనికరం చూపించి వాళ్ళ భాగ్యం వాళ్లకు మళ్ళీ తీసుకొస్తాను.”
