యెహెజ్కేలు 30
യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:
2 ౨ “నరపుత్రుడా, ప్రవచిస్తూ ఇలా చెప్పు, యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే, ‘అయ్యో! రాబోతున్న ఆ రోజు ఎంత భయంకరం.’
“മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, നീ പ്രവചിക്കുക, അവരോടു പറയുക: ‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഇങ്ങനെ വിലപിച്ചു പറയുക, “അയ്യോ കഷ്ടദിവസം!”
ആ ദിവസം അടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു, യഹോവയുടെ ദിവസം അടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു— കാർമേഘംകൊണ്ടിരുണ്ട ദിവസം! രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്ക് ആപത്തിന്റെ ദിവസംതന്നെ.
4 ౪ అప్పుడు ఐగుప్తు దేశం మీద కత్తి పడుతుంది. ఐగుప్తులో చనిపోయిన వాళ్ళు కూలిపోతుంటే కూషు దేశస్థులు వేదన పడతారు. శత్రువులు ఐగుప్తీయుల ఆస్తిని పట్టుకుని దేశపు పునాదులను పడగొడతారు!
ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെതിരേ ഒരു വാൾ വരും, കൂശ് അതിവേദനയിലാകും ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ നിഹതന്മാർ വീഴുമ്പോൾ, അവളുടെ സമ്പത്ത് അപഹരിക്കപ്പെടുകയും അവളുടെ അടിസ്ഥാനങ്ങൾ ഇടിച്ചുനിരത്തപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യും.
കൂശ്യരും പൂത്യരും ലൂദ്യരും എല്ലാ അറേബ്യരും കൂബ്യരും സഖ്യതയിലുൾപ്പെട്ട ജനവും ഈജിപ്റ്റിനോടൊപ്പം വാൾകൊണ്ടു വീഴും.
6 ౬ యెహోవా తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే, ఐగుప్తుకు అండగా ఉండే వాళ్ళు కూలుతారు. గర్వంతో కూడిన దాని బలం అణగిపోతుంది. మిగ్దోలు నుండి సెవేనే వరకూ ప్రజలు కత్తితో కూలుతారు.” ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.
“‘യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ സഹായികൾ വീഴും, അവളുടെ ശക്തിയുടെ അഭിമാനം തകർന്നടിയും. മിഗ്ദോൽമുതൽ അസ്വാൻവരെ അവർ വാൾകൊണ്ടു വീഴുമെന്ന്, യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
7 ౭ పాడైపోయిన దేశాల మధ్య వాళ్ళు దిక్కులేని వాళ్ళుగా ఉంటారు. శిథిలాల పట్టణాల మధ్య వారి పట్టణాలుంటాయి.
ശൂന്യദേശങ്ങളുടെ മധ്യേ അവർ ശൂന്യമായിത്തീരും. അവരുടെ നഗരങ്ങൾ ശൂന്യനഗരങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിലായിരിക്കും.
8 ౮ ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో అగ్ని రగిలించి నేను దానికి సహాయకులు లేకుండా చేస్తే అప్పుడు నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനു തീവെച്ച് അതിന്റെ സഹായികളെല്ലാം നാശമടയുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.
9 ౯ ఆ రోజు వార్తాహరులు నా దగ్గర నుంచి ఓడల్లో బయలుదేరి సురక్షితంగా ఉన్న కూషును భయపెడతారు. ఐగుప్తు పతనమయ్యే రోజున వారికి భయభ్రాంతులు పుడతాయి. అదిగో! అది వస్తూ ఉంది.
“‘ആ ദിവസം കൂശിനെ അതിന്റെ അലംഭാവത്തിൽനിന്നു ഭയപ്പെടുത്താൻ സന്ദേശവാഹകർ എന്റെ മുമ്പിൽനിന്ന് കപ്പലിൽ പുറപ്പെടും. ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ നാശദിവസത്തിൽ അതിവേദന അവരെ ബാധിക്കും, അതു നിശ്ചയമായും വരും.
10 ౧౦ యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే “బబులోను రాజు నెబుకద్నెజరు వలన ఐగుప్తులో ఇక ఏ మాత్రం జనాభా ఉండరు.
“‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഞാൻ ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരിന്റെ കൈയാൽ ഈജിപ്റ്റിലെ കവർച്ചസംഘത്തെ ഇല്ലാതാക്കും.
11 ౧౧ ఆ దేశాన్ని నాశనం చేయడానికి, అతడు తన సైన్యాన్ని తోడుకుని వస్తాడు. అతనికి రాజ్యాలన్నీ భయపడిపోతాయి. ఐగుప్తీయులను చంపడానికి వారు తమ కత్తులు దూసి చచ్చిన వాళ్ళతో దేశాన్ని నింపుతారు.
അവൻ സർവദേശക്കാരിലുംവെച്ച് ഏറ്റവും ക്രൂരരായ അവന്റെ സൈന്യവുമായി ദേശത്തെ നശിപ്പിക്കാൻ വന്നുചേരും. അവർ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനെതിരേ വാളൂരി ദേശത്തെ നിഹതന്മാരെക്കൊണ്ടു നിറയ്ക്കും.
12 ౧౨ నదులను ఎండగొట్టి ఆ నేను ఆ దేశాన్ని దుర్మార్గులకు అమ్మి వేస్తాను. విదేశీయులతో నేను ఆ దేశాన్ని, దానిలో ఉన్నదంతా పాడు చేయిస్తాను. ఇదే యెహోవా ప్రభువు సందేశం.”
ഞാൻ നൈൽനദിയിലെ വെള്ളം വറ്റിച്ച് ദുഷ്ടരാഷ്ട്രത്തിനു ദേശത്തെ വിറ്റുകളയും; ദേശത്തെയും അതിലുള്ള സകലത്തെയും വിദേശികളുടെ കൈയാൽ ഞാൻ ശൂന്യമാക്കും. യഹോവയായ ഞാൻ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
13 ౧౩ యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు. “విగ్రహాలను నేను నాశనం చేస్తాను. మెంఫిస్ పట్టణపు పనికిరాని విగ్రహాలను లేకుండా చేస్తాను. ఇక ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో రాజు ఉండడు. దేశమంతటా నేను భయం పుట్టిస్తాను.
“‘യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘ഞാൻ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളെ നശിപ്പിക്കും, നോഫിലെ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളെ ഇല്ലാതാക്കും. ഇനിയൊരിക്കലും ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ ഒരു പ്രഭു ഉണ്ടാകുകയില്ല, ദേശത്തുമുഴുവനും ഞാൻ ഭീതിപരത്തും.
ഞാൻ പത്രോസിനെ ശൂന്യമാക്കുകയും സോവാനു തീ വെക്കുകയും നോവിന്റെമേൽ ശിക്ഷാവിധി വരുത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും.
15 ౧౫ ఐగుప్తుకు కోటగా ఉన్న పెలుసియం మీద నా కోపాగ్ని కుమ్మరిస్తాను. తేబేస్ లోని అనేకమందిని నిర్మూలం చేస్తాను.
ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ ശക്തികേന്ദ്രമായ സീനിന്മേൽ ഞാൻ എന്റെ ക്രോധം പകരും; നോവിലെ കവർച്ചസംഘത്തെ ഞാൻ സംഹരിക്കും.
16 ౧౬ ఆ తరువాత ఐగుప్తును కాల్చివేస్తాను. పెలుసియం వాళ్ళు వేదనతో అల్లాడిపోతారు. తేబిస్ చిన్నాభిన్నమవుతుంది. ప్రతిరోజూ మెంఫిస్ పై శత్రువులు దాడి చేస్తారు.
ഈജിപ്റ്റിനു ഞാൻ തീവെക്കും; സീൻ അതിവേദനയിലാകും; നോവ് പിളർന്നുപോകും; നോഫ് നിരന്തരം ദുരിതത്തിലാകും.
17 ౧౭ హీలియోపోలిస్, బుబాస్తిస్ పట్టణాల్లోని యువకులు కత్తితో కూలుతారు. ఆ పట్టణ ప్రజలు బందీలుగా పోతారు.
ആവെനിലെയും പീ-ബേസെത്തിലെയും യുവാക്കൾ വാൾകൊണ്ടു വീഴും, ഈ പട്ടണങ്ങൾ പ്രവാസത്തിലേക്കു പോകേണ്ടിവരും.
18 ౧౮ ఐగుప్తు మోపిన కాడిని నేను తహపనేసులో విరిచే రోజున చీకటి కమ్ముకుంటుంది. గర్వంతో కూడిన ఐగుప్తీయుల బలం అక్కడ అంతమవుతుంది. దాన్ని మబ్బు కమ్ముకుంటుంది. దాని కూతుర్లు బందీలుగా పోతారు.
ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ നുകം തകർക്കുമ്പോൾ തഹ്പനേസിൽ പകൽ ഇരുണ്ടുപോകും; അവിടെ അവളുടെ ശക്തിയുടെ പ്രതാപം നശിക്കും. അവളെ ഒരു മേഘം മൂടും, അവളുടെ പുത്രിമാർ പ്രവാസത്തിലേക്കു പോകേണ്ടിവരും.
അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്മേൽ ശിക്ഷാവിധി അയയ്ക്കും, ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.’”
പതിനൊന്നാംവർഷം ഒന്നാംമാസം ഏഴാംതീയതി യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായി:
21 ౨౧ నరపుత్రుడా, నేను ఐగుప్తు రాజు ఫరో చేతిని విరగ గొట్టాను. అది బాగుపడేలా ఎవరూ దానికి కట్టు కట్టరు. కత్తి పట్టుకునే బలం దానికి లేదు.”
“മനുഷ്യപുത്രാ, ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവായ ഫറവോന്റെ ഭുജം ഒടിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അതിനെ ഭേദമാക്കാൻ വെച്ചുകെട്ടുകയോ ഒരു വാൾ പിടിക്കാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം ശക്തിലഭിക്കേണ്ടതിന് ചികിത്സിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുകയില്ല.
22 ౨౨ కాబట్టి యెహోవా ప్రభువు తెలియజేసేది ఏమిటంటే “నేను ఐగుప్తురాజు ఫరో చేతులను విరిచేస్తాను. అతని బలమైన చేతినీ, విరిగిన చేతినీ విరగ గొట్టి, అతని చేతిలోనుంచి కత్తి జారిపోయేలా చేస్తాను.
അതിനാൽ യഹോവയായ കർത്താവ് ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവായ ഫറവോന് ഞാൻ എതിരായിരിക്കുന്നു. ഞാൻ അവന്റെ രണ്ടു ഭുജങ്ങളെയും—സൗഖ്യമുള്ള ഭുജത്തെയും ഒടിഞ്ഞതിനെയും തന്നെ—ഒടിച്ചുകളയും; അവന്റെ കൈയിലെ വാൾ ഞാൻ വീഴിച്ചുകളയും.
ഈജിപ്റ്റുകാരെ ഞാൻ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ ചിതറിച്ച് അവരെ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലൂടെ ഛിന്നിച്ചുകളയും.
24 ౨౪ ఫరో చేతులను నేను విరగ గొట్టడానికి, బబులోను రాజు చేతులను బలపరచి నా కత్తి అతని చేతికిస్తాను. బబులోను రాజు చూస్తూ ఉండగా ఫరో చావు దెబ్బతిన్న వాడి లాగా మూలుగుతాడు.
ഞാൻ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ കരങ്ങളെ ബലപ്പെടുത്തി എന്റെ വാൾ അവന്റെ കൈയിൽ കൊടുക്കും; ഫറവോന്റെ ഭുജങ്ങളെ ഞാൻ ഒടിച്ചുകളയും; മാരകമായി മുറിവേറ്റ ഒരുത്തനെപ്പോലെ അവൻ അയാളുടെമുമ്പിൽ ഞരങ്ങും.
25 ౨౫ బబులోను రాజు చేతులను నేను బలపరుస్తాను. ఫరో చేతులు పడిపోతాయి. ఐగుప్తు దేశం మీద చాపడానికి నేను నా కత్తిని బబులోను రాజు చేతికిస్తే నేను యెహోవానని ఐగుప్తీయులు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
ഞാൻ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ ഭുജങ്ങളെ ശക്തിപ്പെടുത്തും; എന്നാൽ ഫറവോന്റെ ഭുജങ്ങൾ തളർന്നുവീഴും. ഞാൻ എന്റെ വാൾ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ കൈയിൽ കൊടുക്കുകയും അവൻ അതിനെ ഈജിപ്റ്റിന്റെ നേരേ നീട്ടുകയും ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.
26 ౨౬ నేను యెహోవానని వాళ్ళు తెలుసుకునేలా నేను ఐగుప్తును రాజ్యాల్లో చెదర గొట్టి వివిధ దేశాలకు వారిని వెళ్లగొడతాను.”
ഞാൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുകാരെ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ ചിതറിക്കുകയും രാജ്യങ്ങളിൽ ഛിന്നിച്ചുകളയും ചെയ്യും; അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ യഹോവ ആകുന്നു എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും.”
