യെഹെസ്കേൽ 32
1 ൧ ബാബിലോന്യ പ്രവാസത്തിന്റെ പന്ത്രണ്ടാം ആണ്ട്, പന്ത്രണ്ടാം മാസം, ഒന്നാം തീയതി യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായത് എന്തെന്നാൽ:
౧బబులోను చెరలో ఉన్న కాలంలో, పన్నెండవ నెల మొదటి రోజు యెహోవా నాకీ విషయం తెలియచేశాడు.
2 ൨ “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, നീ ഈജിപ്റ്റ് രാജാവായ ഫറവോനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഒരു വിലാപം കഴിച്ച് അവനോട് പറയേണ്ടത്: ‘ജനതകളിൽ ബാലസിംഹമായുള്ളോവേ, നീ നശിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; നീ കടലിലെ നക്രംപോലെ ആയിരുന്നു; നീ നദികളിൽ ചാടി കാൽ കൊണ്ട് വെള്ളം കലക്കി നദികളെ മലിനമാക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞു.’
౨నరపుత్రుడా, ఐగుప్తురాజు ఫరో గురించి ఏడుపు పాట ఎత్తి అతనికి ఈ మాట చెప్పు. “రాజ్యాల్లో నువ్వు కొదమ సింహం వంటి వాడివి. నదిలో మొసలివంటి వాడివి. నీ కాళ్లతో నీళ్లు కలియబెడుతూ వాటిని బురదగా చేశావు.”
3 ൩ യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ അനേകം ജനതകളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തെക്കൊണ്ട് നിന്റെമേൽ എന്റെ വല വീശിക്കും; എന്റെ വലയിൽ അവർ നിന്നെ വലിച്ചെടുക്കും;
౩యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే, “నేను, నా వల నీ మీద వేస్తే వాళ్ళు నిన్ను నా వలలో నుంచి అనేక ప్రజల మధ్య బయటికి లాగుతారు.
4 ൪ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ കരയിലേക്ക് വലിച്ചിടും; നിന്നെ വെളിമ്പ്രദേശത്ത് എറിഞ്ഞുകളയും; ആകാശത്തിലെ പറവകളെയെല്ലാം നിന്റെമേൽ ഇരിക്കുമാറാക്കും; സർവ്വഭൂമിയിലെയും മൃഗങ്ങൾക്ക് നിന്നെ ഇരയാക്കി, അവയ്ക്ക് തൃപ്തി വരുത്തും.
౪నేను నిన్ను నేల మీద పడేస్తాను. బయటి పొలంలో పారేస్తాను. గాలిలో ఎగిరే అన్ని రకాల పిట్టలు నీ మీద వాలేలా చేస్తాను. భూమి మీద ఉన్న అన్ని రకాల జంతువులు నీ మాంసాన్ని కడుపారా తింటాయి.
౫నీ మాంసాన్ని పర్వతాల మీద వేస్తాను. పురుగులు పట్టిన నీ కళేబరంతో లోయలను నింపుతాను.
౬నీ రక్తాన్ని పర్వతాల మీద పోస్తాను. వాగులు రక్తంతో నిండుతాయి.
7 ൭ നിന്റെ വെളിച്ചം കെടുത്തിക്കളയുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ ആകാശത്തെ മൂടി അതിലെ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളെ ഇരുളടഞ്ഞവയാക്കും; ഞാൻ സൂര്യനെ മേഘംകൊണ്ടു മറയ്ക്കും; ചന്ദ്രൻ പ്രകാശം നല്കുകയും ഇല്ല.
౭నేను నీ దీపాన్ని ఆర్పివేసినప్పుడు ఆకాశాన్ని మూసేసి, నక్షత్రాలను చీకటి చేస్తాను. సూర్యుణ్ణి మబ్బుతో కమ్ముతాను. చంద్రుడు వెన్నెల ఇవ్వడు.
8 ൮ ആകാശത്തിലെ ശോഭയുള്ള ജ്യോതിസ്സുകളെയെല്ലാം നിന്റെനിമിത്തം ഞാൻ ഇരുളടഞ്ഞവയാക്കുകയും, നിന്റെ ദേശത്ത് അന്ധകാരം വരുത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും” എന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവിന്റെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
౮నిన్నుబట్టి ఆకాశంలో ప్రకాశించే జ్యోతులన్నిటినీ చీకటి చేస్తాను. నీ దేశం మీద చీకటి కమ్ముతుంది.” ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.
9 ൯ നിന്റെ നാശം ജനതകളുടെ ഇടയിലും നീ അറിയാത്ത ദേശങ്ങളോളവും പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ അനേകം ജനതകളുടെ ഹൃദയങ്ങളെ വ്യസനിപ്പിക്കും.
౯“నువ్వు ఎరగని దేశాల్లోకి నేను నిన్ను వెళ్లగొట్టి, నిన్ను నాశనం చేసేటప్పుడు అనేక మందికి కోపం పుట్టిస్తాను.
10 ൧൦ ഞാൻ അനേകം ജനതകളെ നിന്നെച്ചൊല്ലി സ്തംഭിക്കുമാറാക്കും; അവരുടെ രാജാക്കന്മാർ കാൺകെ ഞാൻ എന്റെ വാൾ വീശുമ്പോൾ, അവർ നിന്റെനിമിത്തം അത്യന്തം പേടിച്ചുപോകും; നിന്റെ വീഴ്ചയുടെ നാളിൽ അവർ ഓരോരുത്തനും അവരവരുടെ പ്രാണനെ ഓർത്ത് നിമിഷംതോറും വിറയ്ക്കും”.
౧౦నా కత్తి రాజుల ఎదుట ఆడించేటప్పుడు నీ కారణంగా చాలామంది దిగ్భ్రాంతి చెందుతారు. నువ్వు పడిపోయే రోజున వాళ్ళంతా ఎడతెరిపి లేకుండా ప్రాణభయంతో వణకుతారు.”
౧౧యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే “బబులోను రాజు కత్తి నీ మీదికి వస్తుంది!
12 ൧൨ വീരന്മാരുടെ വാൾകൊണ്ടു ഞാൻ നിന്റെ പുരുഷാരത്തെ വീഴുമാറാക്കും; അവരെല്ലാവരും ജനതകളിൽവച്ച് ഉഗ്രന്മാർ; അവർ ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ പ്രതാപത്തെ ശൂന്യമാക്കും; അതിലെ പുരുഷാരമൊക്കെയും നശിച്ചുപോകും.
౧౨శూరుల కత్తితో నేను నీ సేనను కూలుస్తాను. వాళ్ళలో ప్రతి శూరుడూ రాజ్యాలను వణికిస్తాడు. వాళ్ళు ఐగుప్తీయుల గర్వం అణచివేస్తారు. దాని సైన్యాన్నంతా నాశనం చేస్తారు.
13 ൧൩ സമൃദ്ധമായ ജലാശയത്തിനരികെനിന്നു ഞാൻ അതിലെ സകലമൃഗങ്ങളെയും നശിപ്പിക്കും; ഇനി മേൽ മനുഷ്യന്റെ കാൽ അതിനെ കലക്കുകയില്ല; മൃഗങ്ങളുടെ കുളമ്പും അതിനെ കലക്കുകയില്ല.
౧౩సమృద్ధిగా ఉన్న నీళ్ల దగ్గరున్న పశువులన్నిటినీ నేను నాశనం చేస్తాను. ప్రజల కాళ్ళు గానీ పశువుల కాళ్ళు గానీ ఆ నీటిని కదిలించలేవు.
14 ൧൪ ആ കാലത്ത് അവരുടെ വെള്ളം തെളിമയുള്ളതാക്കി, ഞാൻ അവരുടെ നദികളെ എണ്ണപോലെ ഒഴുകുമാറാക്കും” എന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവിന്റെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
౧౪అప్పుడు నేను వాటి నీళ్లు ఆపి, నూనె పారేలా వాళ్ళ నదులు పారేలా చేస్తాను.” ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.
15 ൧൫ “ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെ പാഴാക്കി, ദേശം ശൂന്യമാക്കി, അതിലുള്ളതെല്ലാം ഇല്ലാതാകുമ്പോഴും, ഞാൻ അതിലെ നിവാസികളെയെല്ലാം നശിപ്പിക്കുമ്പോഴും, ഞാൻ യഹോവ എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.
౧౫“నేను ఐగుప్తు దేశాన్ని పాడు చేసి అందులో ఉన్నదంతా నాశనం చేసి దాని నివాసులందరినీ నిర్మూలం చేస్తుంటే నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
16 ൧൬ അവർ അതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് വിലപിക്കുന്ന വിലാപം ഇതത്രേ; ജനതകളുടെ പുത്രിമാർ ഇതു ചൊല്ലി വിലപിക്കും; അവർ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെക്കുറിച്ചും അതിലെ സകലപുരുഷന്മാരെക്കുറിച്ചും ഇതു ചൊല്ലി വിലപിക്കും” എന്ന് യഹോവയായ കർത്താവിന്റെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
౧౬ఇది శోకగీతం. రాజ్యాల కూతుర్లు ఈ పాట ఎత్తి పాడతారు. వాళ్ళు ఐగుప్తు మీదా, దాని సమూహమంతటి మీదా ఆ పాట పాడతారు. ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.
౧౭పన్నెండవ సంవత్సరం అదే నెల పదిహేనవ రోజు యెహోవా నాకు ఈ విషయం తెలియచేశాడు.
18 ൧൮ “മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, നീ ഈജിപ്റ്റിലെ ജനസമൂഹത്തെക്കുറിച്ചു വിലപിച്ച്, അതിനെയും പ്രസിദ്ധമായ ജനതകളുടെ പുത്രിമാരെയും കുഴിയിൽ ഇറങ്ങുന്നവരോടുകൂടെ ഭൂമിയുടെ അധോഭാഗത്തു തള്ളിയിടുക.
౧౮నరపుత్రుడా, ఐగుప్తీయుల సమూహం గురించి విలపించు. భూమి కిందికి పాతాళానికి దిగిపోయిన వాళ్ళ దగ్గరికి, ఆమెనూ గొప్ప రాజ్యాల కూతుళ్ళనూ తోసి వెయ్యి.
19 ൧൯ സൗന്ദര്യത്തിൽ നീ ആരെക്കാൾ മെച്ചപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു; നീ ഇറങ്ങിച്ചെന്ന് അഗ്രചർമ്മികളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിൽ കിടക്കുക.
౧౯వాళ్ళతో ఇలా అను, ‘మిగతావాళ్ళకంటే నువ్వు నిజంగా అందగత్తెవా? సున్నతిలేని వాళ్ళ దగ్గరికి దిగి వెళ్లి పడుకో’
20 ൨൦ വാളാൽ കൊല്ലപ്പെട്ടവരുടെ നടുവിൽ അവർ വീഴും; വാൾ നിയമിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു; അതിനെയും അതിന്റെ സകലപുരുഷാരത്തെയും വലിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുപോകുവിൻ.
౨౦కత్తితో చచ్చిన వాళ్ళతోబాటు వాళ్ళు కూలుతారు. అది కత్తిపాలవుతుంది. ఆమె విరోధులు ఆమెనూ ఆమె సేవకులనూ ఈడ్చుకుపోతారు.
21 ൨൧ വീരന്മാരിൽ ബലവാന്മാരായവർ അവന്റെ സഹായികളോടുകൂടെ പാതാളത്തിന്റെ നടുവിൽനിന്ന് അവനോട് സംസാരിക്കും; അഗ്രചർമ്മികളായി വാളാൽ കൊല്ലപ്പെട്ടവർ ഇറങ്ങിച്ചെന്ന് അവിടെ കിടക്കുന്നു. (Sheol h7585)
౨౧పాతాళంలోని గొప్ప యోధులు ఐగుప్తు గురించీ దాని మిత్రుల గురించీ ఇలా చెబుతారు, ‘వీళ్లిక్కడికి దిగి వచ్చేశారు! కత్తితో చచ్చిన సున్నతిలేని వాళ్ళ దగ్గర వీరు పడుకుంటారు’ (Sheol h7585)

౨౭వీళ్ళు సున్నతి లేని వాళ్ళలో పడిపోయిన శూరుల దగ్గర పడుకోరు. వాళ్ళు తమ యుద్ధాయుధాలన్నిటితో పాతాళంలోకి దిగిపోయి, తమ కత్తులను తమ తలల కింద ఉంచుకుని పడుకుంటారు. తమ డాళ్ళను తమతో ఉంచుకుంటారు. వాళ్ళు సజీవుల లోకంలో ఉగ్రత తెచ్చినవాళ్ళు. (Sheol h7585)
