నిర్గమకాండము 33
1 ౧ యెహోవా మోషేతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “నీవూ ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి బయటకు తీసుకు వచ్చిన ప్రజలూ బయలుదేరి, నేను అబ్రాహాము, ఇస్సాకు, యాకోబుల సంతానానికి ఇస్తానని చెప్పిన పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించే దేశానికి వెళ్ళండి.
അനന്തരം യഹോവ മോശെയോടു കല്പിച്ചതു എന്തെന്നാൽ: നീയും മിസ്രയീംദേശത്തുനിന്നു നീ കൊണ്ടുവന്ന ജനവും ഇവിടെ നിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടു, നിന്റെ സന്തതിക്കു കൊടുക്കുമെന്നു ഞാൻ അബ്രാഹാമിനോടും യിസ്ഹാക്കിനോടും യാക്കോബിനോടും സത്യംചെയ്ത ദേശത്തേക്കു,
2 ౨ నేను నీకు ముందుగా దూతను పంపుతాను. ఆ దూత కనానీయులను, అమోరీయులను, హిత్తీయులను, పెరిజ్జీయులను, హివ్వీయులను, యెబూసీయులను అక్కడినుండి వెళ్ళగొడతాడు.
പാലും തേനും ഒഴുകുന്ന ദേശത്തേക്കു, തന്നേ, പോകുവിൻ. ഞാൻ ഒരു ദൂതനെ നിനക്കു മുമ്പായി അയക്കും; കനാന്യൻ, അമോര്യൻ, ഹിത്യൻ, പെരിസ്യൻ, ഹിവ്യൻ, യെബൂസ്യൻ എന്നിവരെ ഞാൻ ഓടിച്ചുകളയും.
വഴിയിൽവെച്ചു ഞാൻ നിന്നെ നശിപ്പിക്കാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞാൻ നിന്റെ നടുവിൽ നടക്കയില്ല; നീ ദുശ്ശാഠ്യമുള്ള ജനം ആകുന്നു.
ദോഷകരമായ ഈ വചനം കേട്ടപ്പോൾ ജനം ദുഃഖിച്ചു; ആരും തന്റെ ആഭരണം ധരിച്ചതുമില്ല.
5 ౫ అప్పుడు యెహోవా మోషేతో “నీవు ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలతో ‘మీరు అవిధేయులైన ప్రజలు. ఒక్క క్షణం నేను మీ మధ్యకు వచ్చినా మిమ్మల్ని హతం చేస్తాను. మీరు ధరించుకొన్న ఆభరణాలన్నీ తీసివెయ్యండి. అప్పుడు మిమ్మల్ని ఏం చెయ్యాలో చూస్తాను’ అని చెప్పు” అన్నాడు.
നിങ്ങൾ ദുശ്ശാഠ്യമുള്ള ജനം ആകുന്നു; ഞാൻ ഒരു നിമിഷനേരം നിന്റെ നടുവിൽ നടന്നാൽ നിന്നെ സംഹരിച്ചുകളയും; അതുകൊണ്ടു ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു എന്തു ചെയ്യേണം എന്നു അറിയേണ്ടതിന്നു നീ നിന്റെ ആഭരണം നീക്കിക്കളക എന്നിങ്ങനെ യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളോടു പറക എന്നു യഹോവ മോശെയോടു കല്പിച്ചിരുന്നു.
അങ്ങനെ ഹോരേബ് പർവ്വതത്തിങ്കൽ തുടങ്ങി യിസ്രായേൽമക്കൾ ആഭരണം ധരിച്ചില്ല.
7 ౭ అప్పుడు మోషే శిబిరం బయటకు వెళ్లి అక్కడ ఒక గుడారం వేశాడు. దానికి సన్నిధి గుడారం అని పేరు పెట్టాడు. యెహోవాను కనుగొనాలనుకున్న ప్రతివాడూ శిబిరం బయట ఉన్న సన్నిధి గుడారానికి వచ్చాడు.
മോശെ കൂടാരം എടുത്തു പാളയത്തിന്നു പുറത്തു പാളയത്തിൽനിന്നു ദൂരത്തു അടിച്ചു; അതിന്നു സമാഗമനകൂടാരം എന്നു പേർ ഇട്ടു. യഹോവയെ അന്വേഷിക്കുന്നവനെല്ലാം പുറപ്പെട്ടു പാളയത്തിന്നു പുറത്തുള്ള സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിലേക്കു ചെന്നു.
8 ౮ మోషే ఆ గుడారానికి వెళ్తూ ఉన్నప్పుడల్లా తమ గుడారాల్లో ఉన్న ప్రజలు లేచి నిలబడి అతడు గుడారం లోకి వెళ్ళేదాకా అతని వైపు నిదానంగా చూస్తూ ఉండేవాళ్ళు.
മോശെ കൂടാരത്തിലേക്കു പോകുമ്പോൾ ജനം ഒക്കെയും എഴുന്നേറ്റു ഒരോരുത്തൻ താന്താന്റെ കൂടാരവാതിൽക്കൽ നിന്നു, മോശെ കൂടാരത്തിന്നകത്തു കടക്കുവേളം അവനെ നോക്കിക്കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.
9 ౯ మోషే ఆ గుడారంలోకి వెళ్ళినప్పుడు స్తంభం లాంటి మేఘం దిగి వచ్చి ఆ గుడారం ద్వారం దగ్గర నిలిచేది. అప్పుడు యెహోవా మోషేతో మాట్లాడుతూ ఉండేవాడు.
മോശെ കൂടാരത്തിൽ കടക്കുമ്പോൾ മേഘസ്തംഭം ഇറങ്ങി കൂടാരവാതിൽക്കൽ നിൽക്കയും യഹോവ മോശെയോടു സംസാരിക്കയും ചെയ്തു.
10 ౧౦ ఆ మేఘస్తంభం ఆ గుడారం ద్వారాన నిలవడం చూసిన ప్రజలందరూ తమ తమ గుడారాల ద్వారాల్లో లేచి నిలబడి నమస్కారం చేసేవారు.
ജനം എല്ലാം കൂടാരവാതിൽക്കൽ മേഘസ്തംഭം നില്ക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു. ജനം എല്ലാം എഴുന്നേറ്റു ഓരോരുത്തൻ താന്താന്റെ കൂടാരവാതിൽക്കൽവെച്ചു നമസ്കരിച്ചു.
11 ౧౧ ఒక వ్యక్తి తన స్నేహితునితో మాట్లాడుతున్నట్టు యెహోవా మోషేతో ముఖాముఖీగా మాట్లాడేవాడు. తరువాత అతడు శిబిరంలోకి తిరిగి వచ్చేవాడు. అయితే మోషే సేవకుడు, నూను కొడుకు అయిన యెహోషువ అనే యువకుడు గుడారం నుండి బయటకు వచ్చేవాడు కాదు.
ഒരുത്തൻ തന്റെ സ്നേഹിതനോടു സംസാരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ യഹോവ മോശെയോടു അഭിമുഖമായി സംസാരിച്ചു. പിന്നെ അവൻ പാളയത്തിലേക്കു മടങ്ങിവന്നു; അവന്റെ ശുശ്രൂഷക്കാരനായ നൂന്റെ പുത്രനായ യോശുവ എന്ന ബാല്യക്കാരനോ കൂടാരത്തെ വിട്ടുപിരിയാതിരുന്നു.
12 ౧౨ మోషే యెహోవాతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “ఈ ప్రజలను వెంటబెట్టుకుని వెళ్ళమని నాకు చెబుతున్నావు గానీ నాతో ఎవరిని పంపుతున్నావో అది నాకు చెప్పలేదు. అదీగాక ‘నిన్ను నీ పేరుతో ఎరుగుదును. నిన్ను నేను కరుణించాను’ అని నాతో చెప్పావు కదా.
മോശെ യഹോവയോടു പറഞ്ഞതു എന്തെന്നാൽ: ഈ ജനത്തെ കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടു പോക എന്നു നീ എന്നോടു കല്പിച്ചുവല്ലോ; എങ്കിലും ആരെ എന്നോടുകൂടെ അയക്കുമെന്നു അറിയിച്ചുതന്നില്ല; എന്നാൽ: ഞാൻ നിന്നെ അടുത്തു അറിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു; എനിക്കു നിന്നോടു കൃപ തോന്നിയിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു നീ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടല്ലോ.
13 ౧౩ అందువల్ల నాపై నీ దయ ఉంటే నీ విధానాలు నేను గ్రహించగలిగేలా దయచేసి నీ మార్గాలు నాకు చూపించు. అప్పుడు నేను నీ గురించి తెలుసుకుంటాను. అయ్యా, చూడు, ఈ జనమంతా నీ ప్రజలే గదా.”
ആകയാൽ എന്നോടു കൃപയുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ നിന്റെ വഴി എന്നെ അറിയിക്കേണമേ; നിനക്കു എന്നോടു കൃപയുണ്ടാകുവാന്തക്കവണ്ണം ഞാൻ നിന്നെ അറിയുമാറാകട്ടെ; ഈ ജാതി നിന്റെ ജനം എന്നു ഓർക്കേണമേ.
അതിന്നു അവൻ: എന്റെ സാന്നിദ്ധ്യം നിന്നോടുകൂടെ പോരും; ഞാൻ നിനക്കു സ്വസ്ഥത നല്കും എന്നു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു.
അവൻ അവനോടു: തിരുസാന്നിദ്ധ്യം എന്നോടുകൂടെ പോരുന്നില്ല എങ്കിൽ ഞങ്ങളെ ഇവിടെനിന്നു പുറപ്പെടുവിക്കരുതേ.
16 ౧౬ నా పట్ల, నీ ప్రజల పట్ల నువ్వు దయ చూపిస్తున్నావని మాకు దేని వల్ల తెలుస్తుంది? నువ్వు మాతో కలసి రావడం వల్లనే కదా. ఆ విధంగా మేము, అంటే నేను, నీ ప్రజలు భూమి మీద ఉన్న ప్రజల్లో నుండి ప్రత్యేకంగా గుర్తింపు పొందుతాం” అని ఆయనతో అన్నాడు.
എന്നോടും നിന്റെ ജനത്തോടും കൃപ ഉണ്ടെന്നുള്ളതു ഏതിനാൽ അറിയും? നീ ഞങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ പോരുന്നതിനാലല്ലയോ? അങ്ങനെ ഞാനും നിന്റെ ജനവും ഭൂതലത്തിലുള്ള സകലജാതികളിലുംവെച്ചു വിശേഷതയുള്ളവരായിരിക്കും എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
17 ౧౭ అప్పుడు యెహోవా “నీవు చెప్పినట్టు చేస్తాను. నీ మీద నాకు దయ కలిగింది. నీ పేరును బట్టి నిన్ను తెలుసుకున్నాను” అని మోషేతో చెప్పాడు.
യഹോവ മോശെയോടു: നീ പറഞ്ഞ ഈ വാക്കുപോലെ ഞാൻ ചെയ്യും; എനിക്കു നിന്നോടു കൃപ തോന്നിയിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ നിന്നെ അടുത്തു അറിഞ്ഞുമിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു.
അപ്പോൾ അവൻ: നിന്റെ തേജസ്സു എനിക്കു കാണിച്ചു തരേണമേ എന്നപേക്ഷിച്ചു.
19 ౧౯ ఆయన “నా మంచితనమంతా నీ ఎదుట నుండి దాటిపోయేలా చేస్తాను. యెహోవా అనే నా పేరును నీ ఎదుట ప్రకటిస్తాను. నాకు ఎవరిమీద కరుణ చూపాలని ఉందో వాళ్ళను కరుణిస్తాను, ఎవరి మీద జాలిపడాలో వారిపట్ల జాలి చూపిస్తాను” అన్నాడు.
അതിന്നു അവൻ: ഞാൻ എന്റെ മഹിമ ഒക്കെയും നിന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ കടക്കുമാറാക്കി യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തെ നിന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ ഘോഷിക്കും; കൃപ ചെയ്‌വാൻ എനിക്കു മനസ്സുള്ളവനോടു ഞാൻ കൃപ ചെയ്യും; കരുണ കാണിപ്പാൻ എനിക്കു മനസ്സുള്ളവന്നു ഞാൻ കരുണ കാണിക്കും എന്നരുളിച്ചെയ്തു.
നിനക്കു എന്റെ മുഖം കാണ്മാൻ കഴികയില്ല; ഒരു മനുഷ്യനും എന്നെ കണ്ടു ജീവനോടെ ഇരിക്കയില്ല എന്നും അവൻ കല്പിച്ചു.
ഇതാ, എന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ഒരു സ്ഥലം ഉണ്ടു; അവിടെ ആ പാറമേൽ നീ നിൽക്കേണം.
22 ౨౨ నా మహిమ నిన్ను దాటి వెళ్ళే సమయంలో ఆ బండ సందులో నిన్ను దాచి ఉంచి, నిన్ను దాటి వెళ్ళే వరకూ నా చేత్తో నిన్ను కప్పుతాను.
എന്റെ തേജസ്സു കടന്നുപോകുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ പാറയുടെ ഒരു പിളർപ്പിൽ ആക്കി ഞാൻ കടന്നുപോകുവോളം എന്റെ കൈകൊണ്ടു നിന്നെ മറെക്കും.
23 ౨౩ నేను నా చెయ్యి తీసివేసిన తరువాత నా వీపును మాత్రం నువ్వు చూడగలవు గానీ నా ముఖ దర్శనం నీకు కలగదు” అని మోషేతో చెప్పాడు.
പിന്നെ എന്റെ കൈ നീക്കും; നീ എന്റെ പിൻഭാഗം കാണും; എന്റെ മുഖമോ കാണാവതല്ല എന്നും യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു.
