1 ငါ​သည်​ပေ​ကြိုး​ကို​ကိုင်​ထား​သည့်​လူ​တစ်​ယောက် ကို​အ​ခြား​ဗျာ​ဒိတ်​ရူ​ပါ​ရုံ​တစ်​ခု​တွင်​တွေ့​မြင် ရ​၏။-
తరువాత నేను కన్నులెత్తి చూసినప్పుడు చేతిలో కొలనూలు పట్టుకుని ఉన్న ఒక వ్యక్తి నాకు కనబడ్డాడు.
2 သူ့​အား``သင်​သည်​အ​ဘယ်​အ​ရပ်​သို့​သွား​မည် နည်း'' ဟု​မေး​သော​အ​ခါ၊ ထို​သူ​က``ယေ​ရု​ရှ​လင်​မြို့​သို့​သွား​ပါ​မည်။ ထို မြို့​သည်​အ​လျား​အ​နံ​မည်​မျှ​ရှိ​သည်​ကို​တိုင်း ထွား​၍​ကြည့်​ရန်​ဖြစ်​ပါ​၏'' ဟု ပြန်​ပြော​လေ​သည်။
“నువ్వు ఎక్కడికి వెళ్తున్నావు?” అని నేను అతణ్ణి అడిగాను. అతడు “యెరూషలేము పట్టణం పొడవు, వెడల్పు ఎంత ఉందో చూసి కొలవడానికి వెళ్తున్నాను” అని చెప్పాడు.
3 ထို​နောက်​ငါ​နှင့်​စ​ကား​ပြော​ဆို​နေ​ခဲ့​သည့် ကောင်း​ကင်​တ​မန်​သည်​ရှေ့​သို့​လာ​သော​အ​ခါ အ​ခြား​ကောင်း​ကင်​တ​မန်​တစ်​ပါး​က​သူ့​ထံ သို့​လာ​ရောက်​နှုတ်​ဆက်​သည်​ကို​ငါ​တွေ့​မြင် ရ​၏။-
అప్పుడు నాతో మాట్లాడిన దూత బయలుదేరుతున్నప్పుడు మరో దూత అతనికి ఎదురు వచ్చాడు.
4 ပ​ထ​မ​ကောင်း​ကင်​တ​မန်​က​သူ့​အား``ယေ​ရု ရှ​လင်​မြို့​တွင်​နေ​ထိုင်​ကြ​သည့်​လူ​သတ္တ​ဝါ တို့​သည်​အ​လွန်​ပင်​များ​သ​ဖြင့် ထို​မြို့​ကို တံ​တိုင်း​ကာ​နိုင်​လိမ့်​မည်​မ​ဟုတ်​ကြောင်း​ပေ ကြိုး​ကိုင်​ထား​သူ​လူ​ငယ်​ထံ​သို့​ပြေး​၍​ပြော ကြား​လော့။-
ఆ దూత మొదటి దూతతో “నువ్వు పరిగెత్తుకుంటూ వెళ్లి, యెరూషలేములో మనుష్యులు, పశువులు, విస్తారంగా ఉన్నందువల్ల అది గోడలు లేని మైదానం వలె ఉంటుందని ఈ యువకునికి చెప్పు” అని ఆజ్ఞాపించాడు.
5 ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​သည်​မိ​မိ​ကိုယ်​တော်​တိုင်​မြို့ ပတ်​လည်​တွင် မီး​တံ​တိုင်း​အ​ဖြစ်​တည်​ရှိ​လျက် ဘုန်း​အ​သ​ရေ​တော်​အ​ပေါင်း​နှင့်​တ​ကွ ထို​မြို့ တွင်​စံ​နေ​တော်​မူ​မည်​ဖြစ်​ကြောင်း​က​တိ​ထား တော်​မူ​လေ​ပြီ'' ဟု​ဆို​၏။
యెహోవా చెప్పేది ఏమిటంటే, నేనే దాని చుట్టూ అగ్నికీలలతో సరిహద్దుగా ఉంటాను. నేను ఆ పట్టణం మధ్య నివసిస్తూ దానికి మహిమ కలిగిస్తాను.
6 ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​က​မိ​မိ​၏​လူ​မျိုး​တော် အား``ငါ​သည်​သင်​တို့​ကို​အ​ရပ်​တ​ကာ​သို့ ကွဲ​လွင့်​စေ​တော်​မူ​ခဲ့​၏။-
ఆకాశంలో నాలుగు దిక్కులకు వీచే గాలిలాగా మీరు చెదిరిపోయేలా చేశాను. ఉత్తర దేశాల్లో ఉన్న మీరంతా తప్పించుకుని రండి. ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
7 သို့​ရာ​တွင်​အ​ချင်း​ပြည်​နှင်​ဒဏ်​သင့်​သူ​တို့ ယ​ခု​သင်​တို့​သည်​ဗာ​ဗု​လုန်​ပြည်​မှ​ထွက်​ပြေး ကာ​ယေ​ရု​ရှ​လင်​မြို့​သို့​ပြန်​လာ​ကြ​လော့။-
సీయోను ప్రజలారా, బబులోను దేశంలో నివసిస్తున్న మీరు అక్కడ నుండి తప్పించుకుని రండి. ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
8 သင်​တို့​အား​ထိ​ပါး​လာ​သူ​သည်​ငါ​တန်​ဘိုး အ​ထား​ဆုံး​သော​အ​ရာ​ကို​ထိ​ပါး​သူ​ဖြစ် ၏'' ဟု​မိန့်​တော်​မူ​၏။ ကိုယ်​တော်​၏​လူ​မျိုး​တော်​တို့​အား​တိုက်​ခိုက် ချေ​မှုန်း​သူ​တို့​အား ဤ​ကဲ့​သို့​သ​တင်း​စ​ကား ပြော​ကြား​ရန် ငါ့​အား​အ​နန္တ​တန်​ခိုး​ရှင်​ထာ ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​သည်​စေ​လွှတ်​တော်​မူ​သည်။
సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమిటంటే మిమ్మల్ని దోచుకొన్న ఇతర దేశాల ప్రజల దగ్గరికి ఆయన నన్ను పంపించాడు. ఎవరైనా మిమ్మల్ని ముట్టుకుంటే వాడు యెహోవా కనుగుడ్డును ముట్టినట్టే. అందువల్ల ఆయనకు ఘనత కలిగేలా,
9 ``ဤ​သို့​လျှင်​ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​ကိုယ်​တော်​တိုင် ပင် သင်​တို့​အား​တိုက်​ခိုက်​တော်​မူ​လိမ့်​မည်။ အ​ခါ တစ်​ပါး​က​သင်​တို့​၏​အ​စေ​အ​ပါး​ကို​ခံ​ခဲ့ ရ​ကြ​သူ​တို့​သည် သင်​တို့​ကို​လု​ယက်​တိုက်​ခိုက် ကြ​လတ္တံ့'' ဟူ​သော​ဗျာ​ဒိတ်​တော်​နှင့်​အ​တူ​ငါ့ အား​စေ​လွှတ်​တော်​မူ​သ​တည်း။ ဤ​အ​မှု​အ​ရာ​များ​ဖြစ်​ပျက်​လာ​သော​အ​ခါ ငါ့​အား အ​နန္တ​တန်​ခိုး​ရှင်​ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​စေ လွှတ်​တော်​မူ​လိုက်​ကြောင်း​ကို​လူ​အ​ပေါင်း​တို့ သိ​ရှိ​ကြ​လိမ့်​မည်။
నేను ఆ ప్రజలకు వ్యతిరేకంగా నా చెయ్యి ఎత్తుతాను. వారిని వారి దాసులు దోచుకుంటారు. అప్పుడు సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా నన్ను పంపించాడని మీరు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
10 ၁၀ ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​က``အို ယေ​ရု​ရှ​လင်​မြို့​သူ​တို့၊ ဝမ်း​မြောက်​စွာ​သီ​ချင်း​ဆို​ကြ​ပါ​လော့။ ငါ​သည် သင်​တို့​အ​လယ်​တွင်​ကျိန်း​ဝပ်​ရန်​ကြွ​လာ​တော် မူ​မည်'' ဟု​မိန့်​တော်​မူ​၏။
౧౦యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, సీయోను నివాసులారా, నేను వచ్చి మీ మధ్య నివసిస్తాను. సంతోష గీతాలు ఆలపించండి.
