ఆదికాండము 45
1 ౧ అప్పుడు యోసేపు తన దగ్గర నిలబడ్డ పరివారం ఎదుట తమాయించుకోలేక “అందరినీ నా దగ్గరనుంచి బయటికి పంపేయండి” అని బిగ్గరగా చెప్పాడు. యోసేపు తన అన్నలకు తనను తాను తెలియజేసుకున్నప్పుడు అతని దగ్గర ఎవరూ లేరు.
൧അപ്പോൾ ചുറ്റും നില്‍ക്കുന്നവരുടെ മുമ്പിൽ സ്വയം നിയന്ത്രിക്കുവാൻ കഴിയാതെ: “എല്ലാവരും എന്റെ അടുക്കൽനിന്ന് പുറത്ത്പോകുവിൻ” എന്നു യോസേഫ് വിളിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞു. ഇങ്ങനെ യോസേഫ് തന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാർക്കു തന്നെ വെളിപ്പെടുത്തിയപ്പോൾ വേറെ ആരും അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.
൨അവൻ ഉച്ചത്തിൽ കരഞ്ഞു; ഈജിപ്റ്റുകാരും ഫറവോന്റെ കുടുംബവും അത് കേട്ടു.
3 ౩ అప్పుడు యోసేపు “నేను యోసేపును. నా తండ్రి ఇంకా బతికే ఉన్నాడా?” అని అడిగినప్పుడు, అతని సోదరులు అతని సమక్షంలో కంగారుపడి అతనికి జవాబు ఇవ్వలేకపోయారు.
൩യോസേഫ് സഹോദരന്മാരോട്: “ഞാൻ യോസേഫ് ആകുന്നു; എന്റെ അപ്പൻ ജീവനോടിരിക്കുന്നുവോ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. അവന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാർ അവന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽ ഭ്രമിച്ചുപോയതുകൊണ്ട് അവനോട് ഉത്തരം പറയുവാൻ അവർക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല.
4 ౪ అప్పుడు యోసేపు “నా దగ్గరికి రండి” అని తన సోదరులతో చెబితే, వారు అతని దగ్గరికి వచ్చారు. అప్పుడతడు “ఐగుప్తుకు వెళ్లిపోయేలా మీరు అమ్మేసిన మీ తమ్ముడు యోసేపును నేనే.
൪യോസേഫ് സഹോദരന്മാരോട്: “ഇങ്ങോട്ട് അടുത്തുവരുവിൻ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു; അവർ അടുത്തുചെന്നപ്പോൾ അവൻ പറഞ്ഞത്; “നിങ്ങൾ ഈജിപ്റ്റിലേക്കു വിറ്റുകളഞ്ഞ നിങ്ങളുടെ സഹോദരൻ യോസേഫ് ആകുന്നു ഞാൻ.
5 ౫ అయినా, నన్నిక్కడకు మీరు అమ్మేసినందుకు దుఃఖపడవద్దు. మిమ్మల్ని మీరు నిందించుకోవద్దు. ప్రాణరక్షణ కోసం దేవుడు మీకు ముందుగా నన్ను పంపించాడు.
൫എന്നെ ഇവിടെ വിറ്റതുകൊണ്ടു നിങ്ങൾ വ്യസനിക്കണ്ടാ, വിഷാദിക്കുകയും വേണ്ടാ; ജീവരക്ഷയ്ക്കായി ദൈവം എന്നെ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് മുമ്പെ അയച്ചതാകുന്നു.
൬ദേശത്തു ക്ഷാമം ഉണ്ടായിട്ട് ഇപ്പോൾ രണ്ടു വർഷമായി; ഉഴവും കൊയ്ത്തും ഇല്ലാത്ത അഞ്ച് വർഷം ഇനിയും ഉണ്ട്.
7 ౭ మిమ్మల్ని రక్షించి, భూమి మీద మిమ్మల్ని శేషంగా నిలపడానికీ ప్రాణాలతో కాపాడడానికీ దేవుడు మీకు ముందుగా నన్ను పంపించాడు.
൭ഭൂമിയിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സന്തതി ശേഷിക്കേണ്ടതിനും വലിയോരു രക്ഷയാൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവനെ രക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടതിനും ദൈവം എന്നെ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് മുമ്പെ അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
8 ౮ కాబట్టి నన్ను దేవుడే పంపాడు. మీరు కాదు. ఆయన నన్ను ఫరోకు తండ్రిగా అతని ఇంటివారందరికి ప్రభువుగా ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతటి మీదా అధికారిగా నియమించాడు.
൮ആകയാൽ നിങ്ങൾ അല്ല, ദൈവം അത്രേ എന്നെ ഇവിടെ അയച്ചത്; അവിടുന്ന് എന്നെ ഫറവോനു പിതാവും അവന്റെ കുടുംബത്തിനൊക്കെയും യജമാനനും ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തിനൊക്കെയും ഉയർന്ന ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥനും ആക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
9 ౯ మీరు త్వరగా నా తండ్రి దగ్గరికి వెళ్ళి అతనితో ‘నీ కొడుకు యోసేపు ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు-దేవుడు నన్ను ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతటి మీదా అధిపతిగా నియమించాడు, నా దగ్గరికి రండి. ఆలస్యం చేయవద్దు.
൯നിങ്ങൾ ബദ്ധപ്പെട്ട് എന്റെ അപ്പന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ചെന്ന് അപ്പനോട് പറയേണ്ടത് എന്തെന്നാൽ: ‘അങ്ങയുടെ മകനായ യോസേഫ് ഇപ്രകാരം പറയുന്നു: ദൈവം എന്നെ ഈജിപ്റ്റിനൊക്കെയും അധിപതിയാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു; അങ്ങ് താമസിക്കാതെ എന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വരേണം.
10 ౧౦ నువ్వు గోషెను ప్రాంతంలో నివసిస్తావు. అప్పుడు నువ్వూ నీ పిల్లలూ నీ పిల్లల పిల్లలూ నీ గొర్రెల మందలూ నీ పశువులూ నీకు కలిగిన సమస్తమూ నాకు దగ్గరగా ఉంటాయి.
൧൦അങ്ങേക്ക് ഗോശെൻദേശത്തു പാർക്കാം എനിക്ക് സമീപമായിരിക്കും; അങ്ങും മക്കളും മക്കളുടെ മക്കളും അങ്ങയുടെ ആടുകളും കന്നുകാലികളും അങ്ങയ്ക്കുള്ളതൊക്കെയും തന്നെ.
11 ౧౧ ఇంకా ఐదేళ్ళు కరువు ఉంటుంది, కాబట్టి నీకూ నీ ఇంటి వారికీ నీకు కలిగినదానంతటికీ పేదరికం రాకుండా అక్కడ నిన్ను పోషిస్తాను’ అన్నాడని చెప్పండి.
൧൧അങ്ങയ്ക്കും കുടുംബത്തിനും അങ്ങയ്ക്കുള്ള സകലത്തിനും ദാരിദ്ര്യം നേരിടാതവണ്ണം ഞാൻ അവിടെ അങ്ങയെ പോഷിപ്പിക്കും; ക്ഷാമം ഇനിയും അഞ്ച് വർഷം നില്ക്കും’
൧൨ഇതാ, ഞാൻ യോസേഫ് തന്നെ നിങ്ങളോടു സംസാരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു നിങ്ങളും എന്റെ അനുജൻ ബെന്യാമീനും കണ്ണാലെ കാണുന്നുവല്ലോ.
13 ౧౩ ఐగుప్తులో నాకున్న వైభవాన్నీ మీరు చూసిన సమస్తాన్నీ మా నాన్నకు తెలియచేసి త్వరగా మా నాన్నను ఇక్కడికి తీసుకు రండి” అని తన సోదరులతో చెప్పాడు.
൧൩ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ എനിക്കുള്ള മഹത്വവും നിങ്ങൾ കണ്ടതൊക്കെയും അപ്പനെ അറിയിക്കണം; എന്റെ അപ്പനെ വേഗത്തിൽ ഇവിടെ കൊണ്ടുവരുകയും വേണം”.
൧൪അവൻ തന്റെ അനുജൻ ബെന്യാമീനെ കെട്ടിപ്പിടിച്ചു കരഞ്ഞു; ബെന്യാമീൻ അവനെയും കെട്ടിപ്പിടിച്ചു കരഞ്ഞു.
15 ౧౫ అతడు తన సోదరులందరిని ముద్దు పెట్టుకుని వారిని హత్తుకుని ఏడ్చిన తరువాత అతని సోదరులు అతనితో మాట్లాడారు.
൧൫അവൻ സഹോദരന്മാരെ എല്ലാവരേയും ചുംബിച്ചു കെട്ടിപ്പിടിച്ചു കരഞ്ഞു; അതിന്‍റെശേഷം സഹോദരന്മാർ അവനുമായി സംസാരിക്കുവാൻ തുടങ്ങി.
16 ౧౬ “యోసేపు సోదరులు వచ్చారు” అనే సంగతి ఫరో ఇంట్లో వినబడింది. అది ఫరోకు, అతని సేవకులకు చాలా ఇష్టమయింది.
൧൬യോസേഫിന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാർ വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നുള്ള വർത്തമാനം ഫറവോന്റെ അരമനയിൽ എത്തി; അത് ഫറവോനും അവന്റെ ഭൃത്യന്മാർക്കും സന്തോഷമായി.
17 ౧౭ అప్పుడు ఫరో యోసేపుతో ఇలా అన్నాడు “నీ సోదరులతో ఇలా చెప్పు, ‘మీరిలా చేయండి. మీ పశువుల మీద బరువులు కట్టి కనాను దేశానికి వెళ్ళి
൧൭ഫറവോൻ യോസേഫിനോടു പറഞ്ഞത്: “നിന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാരോട് നീ പറയേണ്ടത് എന്തെന്നാൽ: ‘നിങ്ങൾ ഇതു ചെയ്‌വിൻ; നിങ്ങളുടെ മൃഗങ്ങളുടെ പുറത്തു ചുമട് കയറ്റി പുറപ്പെട്ടു കനാൻദേശത്തു ചെന്ന്
18 ౧౮ మీ తండ్రినీ మీ ఇంటివారిని వెంట బెట్టుకుని నా దగ్గరికి రండి, ఐగుప్తు దేశంలోని మంచి వస్తువులను మీకిస్తాను. ఈ దేశపు సారాన్ని మీరు అనుభవిస్తారు.
൧൮നിങ്ങളുടെ അപ്പനെയും കുടുംബങ്ങളെയും കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട് എന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വരുവിൻ; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജ്യത്തിലെ നന്മ തരും; ദേശത്തിന്റെ പുഷ്ടി നിങ്ങൾ അനുഭവിക്കും.
19 ౧౯ మీకు ఆజ్ఞ ఇస్తున్నాను, ఇలా చేయండి. మీ పిల్లల కోసం, మీ భార్యల కోసం ఐగుప్తులో నుండి బండ్లను తీసుకుపోయి మీ తండ్రిని వెంటబెట్టుకుని రండి.
൧൯നിനക്ക് കല്പന തന്നിരിക്കുന്നു; ‘ഇതാകുന്നു നിങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത്: നിങ്ങളുടെ പൈതങ്ങൾക്കും ഭാര്യമാർക്കും വേണ്ടി ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തുനിന്ന് രഥങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ടുപോയി നിങ്ങളുടെ അപ്പനെ കയറ്റി കൊണ്ടുവരേണം.
20 ౨౦ ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతటిలో ఉన్న మంచి వస్తువులు మీవే అవుతాయి కాబట్టి మీ సామగ్రిని లక్ష్యపెట్టవద్దు’” అన్నాడు.
൨൦നിങ്ങളുടെ വസ്തുവകകളെക്കുറിച്ചു ചിന്തിക്കേണ്ടാ; ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തെങ്ങുമുള്ള നന്മ നിങ്ങൾക്കുള്ളതാകുന്നു
21 ౨౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు కుమారులు అలాగే చేశారు. యోసేపు ఫరో మాట ప్రకారం వారికి బండ్లు ఇప్పించాడు. ప్రయాణానికి భోజన పదార్ధాలు ఇప్పించాడు.
൨൧യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാർ അങ്ങനെ തന്നെ ചെയ്തു; യോസേഫ് അവർക്ക് ഫറവോന്റെ കല്പനപ്രകാരം രഥങ്ങൾ കൊടുത്തു; വഴിക്കു വേണ്ടുന്ന ആഹാരവും കൊടുത്തു.
22 ౨౨ అతడు వారికి రెండేసి జతల బట్టలు ఇచ్చాడు, బెన్యామీనుకు 300 షెకెల్ ల వెండి, ఐదు జతల బట్టలు ఇచ్చాడు.
൨൨അവരിൽ ഓരോരുത്തർക്കും ഓരോ വസ്ത്രവും, ബെന്യാമീനു മൂന്നര കിലോഗ്രാം വെള്ളി അഞ്ച് വസ്ത്രവും കൊടുത്തു.
23 ౨౩ అతడు తన తండ్రి కోసం వీటిని పంపించాడు, ఐగుప్తులోని శ్రేష్ఠమైన వాటిని మోస్తున్న పది గాడిదలనూ ప్రయాణానికి తన తండ్రి కోసం ఆహారం, ఇతర ధాన్యం, వేర్వేరు తినే సరుకులు మోస్తున్న పది ఆడ గాడిదలనూ పంపించాడు.
൨൩അങ്ങനെ തന്നെ അവൻ തന്റെ അപ്പന് പത്തു കഴുതപ്പുറത്ത് ഈജിപ്റ്റിലെ വിശേഷസാധനങ്ങളും പത്തു പെൺകഴുതപ്പുറത്ത് വഴിച്ചെലവിനു ധാന്യവും ആഹാരവും കയറ്റി അയച്ചു.
24 ౨౪ అప్పుడతడు తన సోదరులను సాగనంపి వారు బయలుదేరుతుంటే “దారిలో పోట్లాడుకోవద్దు” అని వారితో చెప్పాడు.
൨൪അങ്ങനെ അവൻ തന്റെ സഹോദരന്മാരെ യാത്ര അയച്ചു; അവർ പുറപ്പെടുമ്പോൾ: “നിങ്ങൾ വഴിയിൽവച്ചു ശണ്ഠകൂടരുത്” എന്ന് അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
൨൫അവർ ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽനിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടു കനാൻദേശത്ത് അപ്പനായ യാക്കോബിന്റെ അടുക്കൽ എത്തി.
26 ౨౬ “యోసేపు ఇంకా బతికే ఉన్నాడు. ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతటి మీదా అధిపతిగా ఉన్నాడు” అని అతనికి తెలియచేశారు. అయితే అతడు వారి మాట నమ్మలేక పోయాడు. అతని హృదయం విస్మయం చెందింది.
൨൬അവനോട്: “യോസേഫ് ജീവനോടിരിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ ഈജിപ്റ്റുദേശത്തിനൊക്കെയും അധിപതിയാകുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. അപ്പോൾ യാക്കോബ് സ്തംഭിച്ചുപോയി; അവർ പറഞ്ഞത് വിശ്വസിച്ചതുമില്ല.
27 ౨౭ అప్పుడు వారు యోసేపు తమతో చెప్పిన మాటలన్నీ అతనితో చెప్పారు. తనను తీసుకు వెళ్ళడానికి యోసేపు పంపిన బండ్లు చూసి, వారి తండ్రి యాకోబు ప్రాణం తెప్పరిల్లింది.
൨൭യോസേഫ് അവരോട് പറഞ്ഞ വാക്കുകളെല്ലാം അവർ അവനോട് പറഞ്ഞു; തന്നെ കയറ്റികൊണ്ടു പോകുവാൻ യോസേഫ് അയച്ച രഥങ്ങൾ കണ്ടപ്പോൾ അവരുടെ അപ്പനായ യാക്കോബിനു വീണ്ടും ചൈതന്യം വന്നു.
28 ౨౮ అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు “ఇంతే చాలు. నా కొడుకు యోసేపు బతికే ఉన్నాడు, నేను చావక ముందు వెళ్ళి అతన్ని చూస్తాను” అన్నాడు.
൨൮“മതി; എന്റെ മകൻ യോസേഫ് ജീവനോടിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ മരിക്കുംമുമ്പ് അവനെ പോയി കാണും” എന്നു യിസ്രായേൽ പറഞ്ഞു.
