< యెహెజ్కేలు 20 >
1 ౧ బబులోను చెరలో ఉన్న కాలంలో, ఏడో సంవత్సరం, ఐదో నెల, పదో రోజు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల పెద్దల్లో కొంతమంది యెహోవాను యోచన అడగాలని ఆయన దగ్గరికి వచ్చి నా ఎదుట కూర్చున్నారు.
၁ပြည်နှင်ဒဏ်ခံရသည့်သတ္တမနှစ်မြောက်၊ ပဉ္စမလ၊ လဆန်းငါးရက်နေ့၌ဣသရေလခေါင်းဆောင် အချို့တို့သည် ထာဝရဘုရား၏အလိုတော် ကိုစုံစမ်းမေးမြန်းရန် ငါ့ထံသို့လာရောက်ကြ ၏။ ထိုသူတို့ငါ၏ရှေ့တွင်ထိုင်ကြသောအခါ၊-
2 ౨ అప్పుడు యెహోవా వాక్కు నాకు ఇలా వినిపించింది,
၂ထာဝရဘုရား၏နှုတ်ကပတ်တော်ကိုငါ ကြားရ၏။-
3 ౩ “నరపుత్రుడా, ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల పెద్దలతో నువ్వు ఇలా చెప్పు, ప్రభువైన యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమంటే, నన్ను అడిగి తెలుసుకోడానికి మీరు వచ్చారా? నా జీవం తోడు, నానుంచి ఏ ఆలోచనా మీకు దొరకదు.” ఇదే ప్రభువైన యెహోవా వాక్కు.
၃ကိုယ်တော်က``အချင်းလူသား၊ သင်သည်သူတို့ အား`သင်တို့သည်ငါ၏အလိုတော်ကိုစုံစမ်း မေးမြန်းရန်လာကြသလော။ ငါသည်အသက် ရှင်တော်မူသောဘုရားဖြစ်တော်မူသည်နှင့် အညီ သင်တို့မေးမြန်းစုံစမ်းမှုမှန်သမျှ ကိုလက်ခံမည်မဟုတ်။ ဤကားငါအရှင် ထာဝရဘုရား၏စကားဖြစ်၏' ဟုမိန့် တော်မူကြောင်းဆင့်ဆိုလော့။
4 ౪ “వాళ్లకు న్యాయం తీరుస్తావా? నరపుత్రుడా, వాళ్లకు న్యాయం తీరుస్తావా? వాళ్ళ పితరులు చేసిన అసహ్యమైన పనులు వాళ్ళకు తెలియజేయి.
၄``အချင်းလူသား၊ သင်သည်သူတို့အားစစ် ဆေးစီရင်ရန်အသင့်ရှိပြီလော။ အသင့်ရှိ လျှင်စစ်ဆေးစီရင်လော့။ သူတို့အားမိမိ တို့ဘိုးဘေးများပြုကျင့်ခဲ့သောစက်ဆုပ် ဖွယ်ကောင်းသည့်အမှုတို့ကိုသတိပေးဖော် ပြလော့။-
5 ౫ వాళ్ళతో చెప్పు, ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్తున్నాడు, నేను ఇశ్రాయేలును ఎంపిక చేసుకున్న రోజు, యాకోబు సంతానానికి ప్రమాణం చేసిన రోజు, ఐగుప్తుదేశంలో నన్ను వాళ్లకు ప్రత్యక్షం చేసుకుని ప్రమాణం చేసి, నేను మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవానని నేను ప్రకటించిన కాలంలో,
၅ငါအရှင်ထာဝရဘုရားအဘယ်သို့မိန့်တော် မူကြောင်းကိုလည်း ပြောပြလော့။ ဣသရေလ လူမျိုးတို့ကိုငါရွေးကောက်တော်မူ၍ ယာကုပ် ၏အမျိုးအနွယ်တို့အားငါသည်ကတိပေး ကျိန်ဆိုခဲ့၏။ အီဂျစ်ပြည်တွင်ငါသည်သူတို့ အားထင်ရှားလျက် ငါသည်သူတို့၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရဘုရားဖြစ်တော်မူကြောင်း ကိုကျိန်ဆိုခဲ့၏။-
6 ౬ వాళ్ళను ఐగుప్తు దేశంలోనుంచి రప్పించి, వాళ్ళ కోసం నేను ఎంపిక చేసిన దేశం, పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించేది, అన్ని దేశాలకూ ఆభరణమైనది అయిన ఆ దేశంలోకి తీసుకు వెళ్తానని నేను ప్రమాణం చేశాను.
၆သူတို့အားအီဂျစ်ပြည်မှထုတ်ဆောင်ကာ သူတို့အတွက်ရွေးချယ်ထားသောပြည်သို့ ခေါ်ယူသွားမည်ဟု ငါကတိပေးကျိန်ဆို ခဲ့သည်မှာထိုအခါကဖြစ်၏။ ထိုပြည်ကား နို့နှင့်ပျားရည်စီးဆင်းနေ၍ပေါများသော ပြည်၊ အသာယာဆုံးသောပြည်ဖြစ်၏။-
7 ౭ అప్పుడు నేను వాళ్ళతో, నేను మీ దేవుడనైన యెహోవాను, మీలో ప్రతివాడూ అసహ్యమైన పనులు విడిచిపెట్టాలి, ఐగుప్తీయుల విగ్రహాలు విసిరేసి, వాటిని పూజించడం వల్ల మిమ్మల్ని మీరు అపవిత్రపరచుకోకుండా ఉండాలి, అన్నాను.
၇ငါသည်သူတို့၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရ ဘုရားဖြစ်သဖြင့် မိမိတို့မြတ်နိုးသည့် စက်ဆုပ်ဖွယ်ရာရုပ်တုများကိုစွန့်ပစ်လိုက် ကြရန်နှင့်အီဂျစ်ဘုရားအတုများကို ကိုးကွယ်ခြင်းဖြင့် မိမိတို့ကိုယ်ကိုမညစ် ညမ်းကြစေရန်သူတို့အားပြောသော်လည်း၊-
8 ౮ అయితే వాళ్ళు నా మాట వినకుండా నా మీద తిరుగుబాటు చేసి, అసహ్యమైన పనులు చెయ్యడం మానలేదు. ఐగుప్తీయుల విగ్రహాలు పూజించడం మానలేదు గనుక వాళ్ళు ఐగుప్తీయుల దేశంలో ఉండగానే నేను నా ఉగ్రత వాళ్ళ మీద కుమ్మరించి వాళ్ళ మీద నా కోపం తీర్చుకుంటానని అనుకున్నాను.
၈သူတို့သည်ငါ့အားအာခံကာငါ၏စကား ကိုနားမထောင်ဘဲနေကြ၏။ သူတို့သည်မိမိ တို့မြတ်နိုးသည့်စက်ဆုပ်ဖွယ်ကောင်းသောရုပ် တုများနှင့် အီဂျစ်ဘုရားများကိုမစွန့်ကြ။ ငါသည်သူတို့အားအီဂျစ်ပြည်တွင်ငါ၏ အမျက်ဒေါသကိုသူတို့အပေါ်သို့သွန်း လောင်း၍ အမျက်တော်ဒဏ်ကိုအပြည့် အဝခံကြစေရန်အကြံရှိခဲ့၏။-
9 ౯ ఏ అన్యదేశాల ఎదుట నన్ను నేను ప్రత్యక్షం చేసుకున్నానో, ఏ అన్యప్రజల మధ్య వాళ్లున్నారో, ఆ అన్యప్రజల్లో, వాళ్ళున్న అన్యప్రజల ఎదుట వాళ్లకు నన్ను ప్రత్యక్షం చేసుకున్నాను. నా పేరుకు దూషణ కలగకుండా ఉండాలని ఆ విధంగా చెయ్యకుండా, ఆ ప్రజలు చూస్తూ ఉండగా నా ఘన నామం కోసం నేను వాళ్ళను ఐగుప్తు దేశంలోనుంచి రప్పించాను.
၉သို့ရာတွင်ငါ၏နာမတော်ကို သူတို့အတူ တကွနေထိုင်လျက်ရှိသောနိုင်ငံများရှေ့တွင် အသရေမပျက်စေခြင်းငှာယင်းသို့မပြု ခဲ့။ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော်ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့အား အီဂျစ်ပြည်မှထုတ် ဆောင်တော်မူခြင်းဖြင့် သူတို့နှင့်အတူနေ ထိုင်ကြသောလူမျိုးခြားတို့၏ရှေ့တွင် ငါ သည်ထင်ရှားတော်မူခဲ့ပြီဖြစ်သောကြောင့် တည်း။
10 ౧౦ వాళ్ళను ఐగుప్తు దేశంలోనుంచి రప్పించి నిర్జన ప్రదేశంలోకి తీసుకొచ్చి,
၁၀``သို့ဖြစ်၍ငါသည်သူတို့အားအီဂျစ် ပြည်မှတောကန္တာရသို့ထုတ်ဆောင်ကာ၊-
11 ౧౧ వాళ్లకు నా కట్టడలు నియమించి, నా విధులు వాళ్లకు తెలియజేశాను. ఎవడైనా వాటిని అనుసరిస్తే, వాటిని బట్టి బ్రతుకుతాడు.
၁၁ငါ၏အမိန့်တို့ကိုနာခံစေ၍ ပညတ်တော် တို့ကိုသင်ကြားပေး၏။ ယင်းတို့ကိုစောင့် ထိန်းသူတို့သည်အသက်ရှင်ရလိမ့်မည်။-
12 ౧౨ యెహోవానైన నేనే వాళ్ళను పవిత్రపరచే వాడినని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకునేలా నాకూ, వాళ్ళకూ మధ్య నా విశ్రాంతి దినాలను నేను వాళ్లకు సూచనగా నియమించాను.
၁၂သူတို့အားမြင့်မြတ်သန့်ရှင်းစေသူမှာ ငါ ထာဝရဘုရားပင်ဖြစ်ကြောင်းသတိပေး လိုသဖြင့် ငါနှင့်သူတို့သဘောတူသည့် အမှတ်လက္ခဏာအနေဖြင့် ဥပုသ်နေ့ကို စောင့်ထိန်းကြရန်ငါပြဋ္ဌာန်းထား၏။-
13 ౧౩ అయితే ఎడారిలో ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు నామీద తిరుగుబాటు చేసి నా కట్టడలు అనుసరించకుండా, తాము అనుసరించి జీవించాలని నేనిచ్చిన విధులను తృణీకరించి, నేను నియమించిన విశ్రాంతి దినాలను అపవిత్రం చేసినప్పుడు, ఎడారిలో నా ఉగ్రత నేను వాళ్ళ మీద కుమ్మరించి, వాళ్ళను నాశనం చేద్దామనుకున్నాను.
၁၃သို့ရာတွင်သူတို့သည်တောကန္တာရ၌ပင် ငါ့ကိုအာခံကြ၏။ ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ ကိုလိုက်နာသူမှန်သမျှသည်အသက်ရှင် ခွင့်ရမည်ဖြစ်သော်လည်းသူတို့သည်ငါ ၏ပညတ်တော်တို့ကိုချိုးဖောက်၍ငါ၏ အမိန့်တော်တို့ကိုပစ်ပယ်ကြ၏။ ဥပုသ်နေ့ ကိုလည်းအလျှင်းမရိုသေ။ သို့ဖြစ်၍ငါ သည်သူတို့အားတောကန္တာရတွင်ငါ၏ အမျက်တော်သွန်းလောင်းခြင်းဒဏ်ကိုခံ စေ၍ သုတ်သင်ဖျက်ဆီးပစ်ရန်အကြံရှိ ခဲ့၏။-
14 ౧౪ కాని నేను వాళ్ళను రప్పించినప్పుడు ఏ అన్యప్రజలు చూశారో, ఏ అన్యప్రజల్లోనుంచి నేను వాళ్ళను రప్పించానో, వాళ్ళ ఎదుట నా పేరుకు దూషణ కలగకుండా ఉండేలా నేను అనుకున్న ప్రకారం చెయ్యకుండా మానాను.
၁၄သို့ရာတွင်ယင်းသို့ဖျက်ဆီးပစ်ပါမူနိုင်ငံ တကာရှေ့တွင် ငါ၏နာမတော်အသရေ ပျက်လိမ့်မည်။ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော်သူတို့ အားအီဂျစ်ပြည်မှ ငါထုတ်ဆောင်ခဲ့သည်ကို လူမျိုးတကာတို့မြင်ခဲ့ကြသောကြောင့် ဖြစ်၏။-
15 ౧౫ తమకిష్టమైన విగ్రహాలను అనుసరించాలని కోరి, వాళ్ళు నా విధులను తృణీకరించి, నా కట్టడలను అనుసరించకుండా నేను నియమించిన విశ్రాంతి దినాలను అపవిత్రం చేసినప్పుడు,
၁၅သို့ဖြစ်၍အသာယာဆုံးသောပြည်၊ နို့နှင့် ပျားရည်စီးနေသောပြည်တည်းဟူသော ငါပေးအပ်ခဲ့သည့်ပြည်သို့ သူတို့အားပို့ ဆောင်တော့မည်မဟုတ်ဟုငါသည်တော ကန္တာရတွင်ကျိန်ဆိုခဲ့၏။-
16 ౧౬ ఇస్తానని నేను చెప్పినదీ, పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించేదీ, అన్ని దేశాలకూ ఆభరణం అయిన ఆ దేశంలోకి వాళ్ళను తీసుకు రానని వాళ్ళు ఎడారిలో ఉండగానే నేను ప్రమాణం చేశాను.
၁၆ယင်းသို့ကျိန်ဆိုရခြင်းအကြောင်းမှာသူတို့ သည် မိမိတို့၏ရုပ်တုကိုးကွယ်မှုကိုပိုမို နှစ်သက်ကြလျက် ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ကို ပစ်ပယ်ကာငါ၏ပညတ်တော်တို့ကိုချိုး ဖောက်၍ ဥပုသ်နေ့ကိုမရိုမသေပြုကြ သောကြောင့်ဖြစ်၏။
17 ౧౭ అయినా వాళ్ళు నశించిపోకుండా ఉండాలని వాళ్ళ మీద కనికరం చూపించి, ఎడారిలో నేను వాళ్ళను నాశనం చెయ్యలేదు.
၁၇``သို့သော်ငါသည်သူတို့ကိုသနားသဖြင့် တောကန္တာရတွင်ဆုံးပါးပျက်စီးစေရန် မပြု။-
18 ౧౮ వాళ్ళు ఎడారిలో ఉండగానే వాళ్ళ పిల్లలతో నేను, మీరు మీ పితరులూ ఆచారాలు అనుసరించకుండా, వాళ్ళ పద్ధతుల ప్రకారం ప్రవర్తించకుండా, వాళ్ళు పెట్టుకున్న దేవుళ్ళను పూజించి మిమ్మల్ని మీరు అపవిత్రం చేసుకోకుండా ఉండండి.
၁၈သို့ရာတွင်တောကန္တာရထဲမှသူတို့၏သား သမီးများအား`သင်တို့ဘိုးဘေးများစီရင် ခဲ့သည့်စည်းမျဉ်းများကိုမကျင့်သုံးကြ နှင့်။ သူတို့၏ဋ္ဌလေ့ထုံးစံများကိုမလိုက် လျှောက်ကြနှင့်။ သူတို့၏ရုပ်တုများကို ကိုးကွယ်ခြင်းအားဖြင့်ကိုယ်ကိုမညစ် ညမ်းစေကြနှင့်။-

၁၉ငါသည်သင်တို့၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရ ဘုရားဖြစ်၏။ ငါ၏ပညတ်တော်တို့ကို စောင့်ထိန်း၍ ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ကိုနာခံ ကြလော့။-
20 ౨౦ నేను మీ దేవుడనైన యెహోవానని మీరు తెలుసుకునేలా ఆ విశ్రాంతిదినాలు నాకూ, మీకూ మధ్య సూచనగా ఉంటాయి.

21 ౨౧ అయినా వాళ్ళ కొడుకులు, కూతుళ్ళు కూడా నా మీద తిరగబడి, తాము అనుసరించి జీవించాలని నేనిచ్చిన నా కట్టడలు అనుసరించకుండా, నా విధులను పాటించకుండా, నేను నియమించిన విశ్రాంతి దినాలను అపవిత్రం చేశారు గనుక, వాళ్ళు ఎడారిలో ఉండగానే నేను నా ఉగ్రత వాళ్ళ మీద కుమ్మరించి, వాళ్ళ మీద నా కోపం తీర్చుకోవాలని అనుకున్నాను.
၂၁``သို့ရာတွင်ထိုလူမျိုးဆက်သည်လည်းငါ့ကို အာခံကြ၏။ ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ကိုလိုက်နာ သူမှန်သမျှသည်အသက်ရှင်ခွင့်ရမည်ဖြစ် သော်လည်း သူတို့သည်ငါ၏ပညတ်တော်တို့ ကိုချိုးဖောက်၍ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ကိုပစ် ပယ်ကြ၏။ ဥပုသ်နေ့ကိုလည်းအလျှင်းမ ရိုသေ။ သူတို့အားတောကန္တာရတွင်သေစေ ရန် ငါသည်မိမိ၏အမျက်တော်ကိုသူတို့ အပေါ်သို့သွန်းလောင်း၍ အမျက်တော်ဒဏ် ကိုခံစေမည်ဟုအကြံရှိခဲ့သော်လည်း၊-
22 ౨౨ కాని నేను ప్రత్యక్షమైన అన్యప్రజల మధ్య నా పేరుకు అవమానం కలగకుండా ఉండేలా, ఏ ప్రజల్లోనుంచి వాళ్ళను రప్పించానో, ఆ ప్రజలు చూస్తూ ఉండగా నా చెయ్యి వెనక్కు తీసి నా వాగ్దానం నెరవేర్చాను.
၂၂မခံစေခဲ့။ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော်ယင်းသို့ ပြုပါမူ ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့အား အီဂျစ်ပြည်မှငါထုတ်ဆောင်ခဲ့သည်ကို မြင်သောလူမျိုးတို့၏ရှေ့တွင် ငါ၏နာမ တော်အသရေပျက်မည်ဖြစ်သောကြောင့် တည်း။-
23 ౨౩ వాళ్ళు నా విధులు అనుసరించకుండా, నా కట్టడలు తృణీకరించి, నేను విధించిన విశ్రాంతిదినాలను అపవిత్రం చేసి,
၂၃ထို့ကြောင့်ငါသည်သူတို့အားကမ္ဘာအရပ် ရပ်သို့ကွဲလွင့်စေမည်ဟု တောကန္တာရတွင် ငါကျိန်ဆို၏။-
24 ౨౪ తమ పితరులు పెట్టుకున్న విగ్రహాలు పూజించాలని కోరుకున్నప్పుడు, అన్యప్రజల్లోకి వాళ్ళను చెదరగొట్టి, ప్రతి దేశంలోకీ వాళ్ళను వెళ్ళగొడతానని ప్రమాణం చేశాను.
၂၄ယင်းသို့ပြုရသည့်အကြောင်းမှာသူတို့သည် ငါ၏အမိန့်တော်တို့ကိုပစ်ပယ်ကာ ငါ၏ပညတ် တော်တို့ကိုချိုးဖောက်လျက်ဥပုသ်နေ့ကိုမရို မသေပြုပြီးလျှင် ဘိုးဘေးတို့ကိုးကွယ်ခဲ့သော ရုပ်တုတို့ကိုဝတ်ပြုကြသောကြောင့်ဖြစ်၏။''
25 ౨౫ తరువాత నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకునేలా, మంచివి కాని కట్టడలు, బ్రతకడానికి అనుకూలం కాని విధులు వాళ్ళకు ఇచ్చాను.
၂၅``ထိုနောက်ငါသည်သူတို့အားမလျောက်ပတ် သည့်ပညတ်များနှင့် အသက်ရှင်မှုကိုမပြု စုနိုင်သည့်အမိန့်တော်များကိုပေး၏။-
26 ౨౬ మొదట పుట్టిన పిల్లలను మంటల్లోనుంచి దాటించి బలి అర్పించడం ద్వారా తమ్మును తాము అపవిత్రం చేసుకోనిచ్చాను.”

27 ౨౭ కాబట్టి నరపుత్రుడా, ఇశ్రాయేలీయులతో మాట్లాడి, ఇలా ప్రకటించు. “ప్రభువైన యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమంటే, మీ పితరులు నా పట్ల అతిక్రమం చేసి, నన్ను దూషించి,

28 ౨౮ వాళ్లకు ఇస్తానని నేను ప్రమాణపూర్వకంగా చెప్పిన దేశంలోకి నేను వాళ్ళను రప్పించిన తరువాత, ఒక ఎత్తయిన కొండను గాని, ఒక దట్టమైన చెట్టును గాని వాళ్ళు చూసినప్పుడెల్లా బలులు అర్పిస్తూ, అర్పణలు అర్పిస్తూ, అక్కడ పరిమళ ధూపం వేస్తూ, పానార్పణలు చేస్తూ, నాకు కోపం పుట్టించారు.”
၂၈ငါသည်သူတို့အားကျိန်ဆိုကတိပြုထား သည့်ပြည်သို့ခေါ်ဆောင်၍သွား၏။ သူတို့သည် မြင့်သောတောင်ကုန်းများနှင့်စိမ်းလန်းသော သစ်ပင်တို့ကိုမြင်သောအခါ ထိုအရပ်တို့ တွင်ယဇ်ပူဇော်ကြကုန်၏။ နံ့သာပေါင်းကို မီးရှို့ရာယဇ်နှင့်စပျစ်ရည်ပူဇော်သကာ ကိုဆက်ကပ်ကြ၏။ ဤနည်းအားဖြင့်သူ တို့သည်ငါ၏အမျက်တော်ကိုနှိုးဆော် ကြသည်။-
29 ౨౯ అప్పుడు నేను వాళ్ళతో “మీరు బలులు తీసుకొస్తున్న ఈ ఉన్నత స్థలాలు ఏంటి?” అని అడిగాను. కాబట్టి దానికి “బామా” అనే పేరు ఈ రోజు వరకూ వాడుకలో ఉంది.
၂၉ငါသည်သူတို့ကို`သင်တို့သွားကြသည့် ကုန်းမြင့်များကားအဘယ်နည်း' ဟုမေး၏။ ထိုကြောင့်ထိုအရပ်တို့သည်ယနေ့တိုင် အောင်ဗာမာဟုခေါ်သော``ကုန်းမြင့်'' များ ဟုတွင်သတည်း။-
30 ౩౦ కాబట్టి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు ఈ మాట ప్రకటించు. “ప్రభువైన యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమంటే, మీ పితరుల విధానంలోనే మీరూ అపవిత్రులు అయ్యారు. వాళ్ళు పెట్టుకున్న విగ్రహాలను అనుసరిస్తూ మీరూ వ్యభిచారులయ్యారు.
