၃ ဓမ္မရာဇဝင် 19
1 ၁ ဧလိယ ပြု သော အမှုနှင့် ပရောဖက် အပေါင်း တို့ကို ထား နှင့် ကွပ်မျက် သောအမှုကို၊ အာဟပ် သည် ယေဇဗေလ အား အကုန်အစင် ကြား ပြော၏။
౧ఏలీయా చేసిందంతా అతడు బయలు ప్రవక్తలందరినీ కత్తితో చంపించిన సంగతీ అహాబు యెజెబెలుకు చెప్పాడు.
2 ၂ ယေဇဗေလ က၊ နက်ဖြန် နေ့ယခုအချိန် ရောက်မှ၊ သင့် အသက် သည် ထိုပရောဖက်တို့၏ အသက် ကဲ့သို့ ငါမဖြစ် စေလျှင် ၊ ဘုရား တို့သည် ငါ၌ထိုမျှ မကပြု ပါစေသောဟု တမန် ကို ဧလိယ ထံသို့ စေလွှတ် ၍ ကြား လိုက်၏။
౨యెజెబెలు ఒక వార్తాహరునితో ఏలీయాకు ఈ కబురు పంపింది “రేపు ఈ పాటికి చనిపోయిన ఆ ప్రవక్తల ప్రాణం లాగా నేను నీ ప్రాణాన్ని చేయకపోతే దేవుళ్ళు దాని కంటే ఎక్కువ కీడు నా మీదికి తెస్తారు గాక.”
3 ၃ ထိုအခါ ဧလိယသည်ကြောက် သဖြင့် ၊ ထ ၍ အသက် လွတ်အောင် ယုဒ ခရိုင် ဗေရရှေဘ မြို့သို့သွား ၏။ ထို မြို့၌ ကျွန် ကို ထား ခဲ့၍၊
౩ఏలీయా ఈ విషయం తెలుసుకుని, లేచి తన ప్రాణం కాపాడుకోడానికి, యూదాలోని బెయేర్షెబాకు వచ్చి, తన సేవకుణ్ణి అక్కడ ఉంచాడు.
4 ၄ သူ့ကိုယ်တိုင်သည် တော သို့ တနေ့ ခရီးသွား ပြီးလျှင် ၊ ရသမ် ပင်အောက် သို့ရောက် ၍ ထိုင် လေ၏။ ထိုအခါ ကိုယ် အသက် သေ ရမည်အကြောင်း ဆုတောင်း လျက် ၊ အိုထာဝရဘုရား ၊ ယခု တန် ပါ၏။ အကျွန်ုပ် အသက် ကို သိမ်းယူ တော်မူပါ။ အကျွန်ုပ် သည် ဘိုးဘေး တို့ ထက် သာ၍ မ ကောင်းပါဟု မြည်တမ်း ပြီးလျှင်၊
౪అతడు ఒక రోజంతా ఎడారిలోకి ప్రయాణించి ఒక రేగు చెట్టు కింద కూర్చున్నాడు. చచ్చిపోదామని ఆశించాడు. “యెహోవా, ఇంతవరకూ చాలు, చనిపోయిన నా పూర్వీకుల కంటే నేనేమంత గొప్పవాణ్ణి కాదు. నా ప్రాణం తీసుకో” అని ప్రార్థన చేశాడు.
౫అతడు రేగు చెట్టు కింద పడుకుని నిద్రపోయాడు. ఉన్నట్టుండి ఒక దేవదూత వచ్చి అతన్ని తాకి “నీవు లేచి భోజనం చెయ్యి” అన్నాడు.
6 ၆ ဧလိယသည် မျှော် ကြည့်သောအခါ ၊ မီး နှင့်ဖုတ်သော မုန့်ပြား နှင့် ခေါင်းရင်း ၌ ရေ ဘူး ရှိသည်ကို မြင် ၍ စား သောက် ပြီးမှ တဖန် အိပ်ပျော် ၏။
౬ఏలీయా లేచి చూస్తే, అతని తల దగ్గర నిప్పుల మీద కాల్చిన రొట్టె, నీళ్ల సీసా కనిపించాయి. కాబట్టి అతడు భోజనం చేసి మళ్ళీ పడుకున్నాడు.
7 ၇ ထာဝရဘုရား ၏ ကောင်းကင်တမန် သည် ဒုတိယ အကြိမ်လာ ၍ သူ့ ကို တို့ လျက် ၊ သွားရမည့်ခရီး သည် အလွန် ဝေးသောကြောင့် ၊ ထ ၍စား ဦးလော့ဟုဆို သည် အတိုင်း၊
౭యెహోవా దూత రెండవసారి మళ్ళీ వచ్చి అతన్ని లేపి “నీవు చాలా దూరం ప్రయాణం చెయ్యాలి, లేచి భోజనం చెయ్యి” అని చెప్పాడు.
8 ၈ ဧလိယသည်ထ ၍ စား သောက် ပြန်၏။ ထိုအစာ အာဟာရကို အမှီပြုလျက်၊ အရက် လေး ဆယ်ခရီးသွား ၍ ဘုရားသခင် နှင့်ဆိုင်သော ဟောရပ် တောင် သို့ ရောက် သဖြင့်၊
౮అతడు లేచి తిని, తాగి ఆ భోజనం బలంతో నలభై రాత్రింబగళ్లు ప్రయాణించి దేవుని పర్వతమనే పేరున్న హోరేబుకు వచ్చాడు.
9 ၉ ဥမင် ထဲသို့ ဝင် ၍ နေ ၏။ ထာဝရဘုရား ၏ နှုတ်ကပတ် တော် ရောက်လာသည်ကား၊ ဧလိယ ၊ သင် သည် ဤ အရပ်၌ အဘယ်သို့ ပြုလျက်နေသနည်းဟုမေး တော်မူ၏။
౯అక్కడున్న ఒక గుహలో ఉండిపోయాడు. యెహోవా “ఏలీయా, ఇక్కడ నువ్వేం చేస్తున్నావ్” అని అతనిని అడిగాడు.
10 ၁၀ ဧလိယကလည်း၊ အကျွန်ုပ်သည် ကောင်းကင်ဗိုလ်ခြေ အရှင် ဘုရားသခင် ထာဝရဘုရား ဘက် ၌ အလွန် စိတ် အားကြီးပါပြီ။ အကြောင်း မူကား၊ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသား တို့သည် ကိုယ်တော် ၏ပဋိညာဉ် တရားကို စွန့် ပြီးလျှင် ၊ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ယဇ် ပလ္လင်များကို ဖြိုဖျက် ၍ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ပရောဖက် များကို ထား နှင့် သတ် ကြပါပြီ။ အကျွန်ုပ် တယောက် တည်း ကျန်ရစ် ၍ ၊ အကျွန်ုပ် အသက် ကို ပင်သတ် ခြင်းငှါ ရှာ ကြပါသည်ဟု လျှောက် လေ၏။
౧౦అతడు “ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు నీ నిబంధనను వదిలేసి నీ బలిపీఠాలను పడగొట్టి నీ ప్రవక్తలను కత్తితో చంపేశారు. దూతల సైన్యాల నాయకుడు యెహోవా కోసం మహా రోషంతో నేను ఒకణ్ణి మాత్రమే మిగిలాను. వారు నా ప్రాణం కూడా తీయడానికి చూస్తున్నారు” అని జవాబిచ్చాడు.
11 ၁၁ နှုတ်ကပတ်တော်ကလည်း ထွက် လော့။ ထာဝရဘုရား ရှေ့ တောင် ပေါ် မှာရပ် နေလော့။ ထာဝရဘုရား ရှောက် သွားမည်ဟုမိန့် တော်မူ၏။ ထိုအခါ အားကြီး သော လေ ပြင်း သည် တောင်ထိပ် တို့ကိုခွဲ ၍ ၊ ထာဝရဘုရား ရှေ့ တော်၌ ကျောက် တို့ကိုချိုးဖဲ့ ၏။ သို့ရာတွင်ထာဝရဘုရား သည် လေ ၌ ရှိတော်မ မူ။ လေ နောက် မှာ မြေလှုပ် ခြင်းရှိ၏။ သို့ရာတွင်ထာဝရဘုရား သည် မြေ လှုပ်ရှားခြင်း၌ လည်းရှိတော်မ မူ။
౧౧యెహోవా అతనితో “నీవు వెళ్లి పర్వతం మీద నా ఎదుట నిలబడు” అన్నాడు. అప్పుడు యెహోవా అటుగా వెళ్ళగానే ప్రచండమైన గాలి లేచింది. పర్వతాలు బద్దలై బండరాళ్ళు ముక్కలైపోయాయి గాని యెహోవా ఆ గాలిలో లేడు. గాలి వెళ్లిపోయిన తరువాత భూకంపం వచ్చింది గాని ఆ భూకంపంలో యెహోవా లేడు.
12 ၁၂ မြေ လှုပ်ခြင်းနောက် မှာမီး ရှိ၏။ သို့ရာတွင်ထာဝရဘုရား သည် မီး ၌ လည်းရှိတော်မ မူ၊ မီး နောက် မှာ ဖြည်းညှင်း သော အသံ ရှိ၏။
౧౨ఆ భూకంపం వెళ్ళిపోయిన తరువాత అగ్ని జ్వాలలు కన్పించాయి గాని ఆ అగ్నిలో యెహోవా లేడు. అగ్ని ఆగిపోగానే చాలా నెమ్మదిగా మాట్లాడే ఒక స్వరం వినిపించింది.
13 ၁၃ ထိုအသံကို ဧလိယ သည်ကြား လျှင် ၊ မျက်နှာ ကို ဝတ်လုံ နှင့် ဖုံးအုပ် လျက် ထွက် ၍ ဥမင် ဝ ၌ရပ် နေ၏။ ထိုအခါ ဧလိယ ၊ သင် သည်ဤ အရပ်၌ အဘယ်သို့ ပြုလျက် နေသနည်းဟု အသံ လာ၏။
౧౩ఏలీయా ఆ స్వరం విని, తన దుప్పటితో ముఖం కప్పుకుని బయలుదేరి గుహ ఎదుట నిలబడ్డాడు. అప్పుడు “ఏలీయా, ఇక్కడ నువ్వేం చేస్తున్నావ్?” అనే మాట వినిపించింది.
14 ၁၄ ဧလိယကလည်း၊ အကျွန်ုပ်သည် ကောင်းကင်ဗိုလ်ခြေ အရှင် ဘုရားသခင် ထာဝရဘုရား ဘက် ၌ အလွန် စိတ် အားကြီးပါပြီ။ အကြောင်း မူကား၊ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသား တို့သည် ကိုယ်တော် ၏ပဋိညာဉ် တရားကို စွန့် ပြီးလျှင်၊ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ယဇ် ပလ္လင်များကို ဖြိုဖျက် ၍ ၊ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ ပရောဖက် များကို ထား နှင့် သတ် ကြပါပြီ။ အကျွန်ုပ် တယောက် တည်းကျန်ရစ် ၍ ၊ အကျွန်ုပ် အသက် ကိုပင် သတ် ခြင်းငှါ ရှာ ကြပါသည်ဟု လျှောက် လေသော်၊
౧౪ఏలీయా “ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలు నీ నిబంధనను వదిలేసి నీ బలిపీఠాలను పడగొట్టి నీ ప్రవక్తలను కత్తితో చంపేశారు. దూతల సైన్యాల నాయకుడు, యెహోవా కోసం మహా రోషంతో నేను ఒకణ్ణి మాత్రమే మిగిలితే, వారు నా ప్రాణం కూడా తీయడానికి చూస్తున్నారు” అని జవాబిచ్చాడు.
15 ၁၅ ထာဝရဘုရား က၊ ဒမာသက် တော သို့ ပြန် ၍ ခရီး သွား လော့။ ရောက် သောအခါ ဟာဇေလ ကို ရှုရိ ရှင်ဘုရင် အရာ ၌ ခန့်ထား၍ ဘိသိက် ပေးလော့။
౧౫అప్పుడు యెహోవా అతనితో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “ఎడారి గుండా నీవు వచ్చిన దారిలో దమస్కు వెళ్ళు. అక్కడ సిరియా దేశం మీద హజాయేలుకు పట్టాభిషేకం చెయ్యి.
16 ၁၆ နိမ်ရှိ သား ယေဟု ကို ဣသရေလ ရှင်ဘုရင် အရာ ၌ ခန့်ထား၍ ဘိသိက် ပေးလော့။ အာဗေလမဟောလ မြို့နေ၊ ရှာဖတ် သား ဧလိရှဲ ကို သင့် ကိုယ်စား ပရောဖက် အရာ ၌ ခန့်ထား၍ ဘိသိက် ပေးလော့။
౧౬ఇశ్రాయేలు వారి మీద నింషీ కొడుకు యెహూకు పట్టాభిషేకం చెయ్యి. నీకు బదులు ప్రవక్తగా ఉండడానికి అబేల్మెహోలా వాడు షాపాతు కొడుకు ఎలీషాకు అభిషేకం చెయ్యి.
17 ၁၇ သို့ဖြစ်၍ ဟာဇေလ ထား နှင့်လွတ် သောသူကို ယေဟု သတ် လိမ့်မည်။ ယေဟု ထား နှင့်လွတ် သောသူကို ဧလိရှဲ သတ် လိမ့်မည်။
౧౭హజాయేలు కత్తిని తప్పించుకొనే వారిని యెహూ చంపేస్తాడు. యెహూ కత్తిని తప్పించుకొనే వారిని ఎలీషా చంపేస్తాడు.
18 ၁၈ သို့ရာတွင် ဗာလ ရှေ့ ၌ ဒူးထောက် ခြင်း၊ နမ်း ခြင်းကို မ ပြုသော သူအပေါင်း တည်းဟူသောဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားခုနစ် ထောင် တို့ကို ငါ့အဘို့ ငါကျန်ကြွင်း စေပြီ ဟု မိန့် တော်မူ၏။
౧౮అయినా ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల్లో బయలుకు మొక్కకుండా, వాడి విగ్రహాన్ని ముద్దు పెట్టుకోకుండా ఇంకా 7,000 మంది నాకు మిగిలి ఉన్నారు.”
19 ၁၉ ထို အရပ်မှ ဧလိယသည် သွား ပြီးလျှင် ၊ နွား ငါးယှဉ်းနှင့်လယ်ထွန် လျက်၊ နောက်ဆုံးနွားယှဉ်း၌ ကိုယ်တိုင်လိုက်သော ရှာဖတ် သား ဧလိရှဲ ကို တွေ့ ၍အနား၌ ရှောက် စဉ်တွင် ၊ မိမိ ဝတ်လုံ ကို သူ့ အပေါ် မှာ တင် လေ၏။
౧౯ఏలీయా అక్కడ నుండి వెళ్లిన తరువాత అతనికి షాపాతు కొడుకు ఎలీషా కనిపించాడు. అతడు తన దగ్గరున్న పన్నెండు జతల ఎడ్లతో దుక్కి దున్నిస్తూ పన్నెండవ కాడి తానే తోలుతున్నాడు. ఏలీయా అతని దగ్గరికి వెళ్లి తన పైబట్టను అతని మీద వేశాడు.
20 ၂၀ ဧလိရှဲသည် နွား တို့ကို ပစ်ထား ၍ ဧလိယ နောက် သို့လိုက် လျက် ၊ အကျွန်ုပ်သည်မိ ဘ ကို နမ်း ပါရစေ။ သို့ပြီးမှ ကိုယ်တော် နောက် သို့ လိုက် ပါမည်ဟု အခွင့် တောင်း လျှင် ၊ ဧလိယကပြန် သွားလော့။ ငါသည် သင် ၌ အဘယ်သို့ ပြု ဘိသနည်းဟုဆို သော်၊
౨౦అతడు ఎడ్లను విడిచిపెట్టి ఏలీయా వెంట పరిగెత్తి “నేను వెళ్లి నా తలిదండ్రులను ముద్దు పెట్టుకుని తిరిగి వచ్చి నిన్ను వెంబడిస్తాను” అన్నాడు. ఏలీయా “వెళ్లి రా. నేను నీకేం చేశానో గుర్తు పెట్టుకో” అన్నాడు.
21 ၂၁ ဧလိရှဲသည်ပြန် သွား၍ နွား ယှဉ်းကိုသတ် ပြီးမှ ၊ နွားသား ကို လယ်ထွန်သော တန်ဆာ နှင့် ပြုတ် ၍ လူ များ တို့အား ကျွေး လေ၏။ သို့ပြီးမှ ထ ၍ ဧလိယ နောက် သို့ လိုက် လျက် လက်ထောက် ဖြစ်လေ၏။
౨౧ఎలీషా అతన్ని విడిచి వెళ్లి, కాడి ఎడ్లను వధించి వాటి మాంసాన్ని కాడి మానులతో వంట చేసి ప్రజలకు వడ్డించాడు. వారు భోజనం చేసిన తరువాత అతడు లేచి ఏలీయా వెంట వెళ్లి అతనికి సేవకుడయ్యాడు.
