హగ్గయి 1
1 ౧ రాజైన దర్యావేషు పరిపాలనలో రెండవ సంవత్సరం ఆరవ నెల మొదటి దినాన ప్రవక్త అయిన హగ్గయి ద్వారా యూదా దేశం మీద అధికారి, షయల్తీయేలు కుమారుడు జెరుబ్బాబెలుకు, ప్రధానయాజకుడు, యెహోజాదాకు కుమారుడు అయిన యెహోషువకు యెహోవా వాక్కు ప్రత్యక్షమై ఇలా చెప్పాడు. సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు.
ദാര്യാവേശ് രാജാവിന്റെ രണ്ടാംവർഷത്തിൽ, ആറാംമാസത്തിന്റെ ഒന്നാംതീയതി, യെഹൂദാദേശാധിപതിയും ശെയൽത്തിയേലിന്റെ മകനുമായ സെരൂബ്ബാബേലിനും മഹാപുരോഹിതനും യെഹോസാദാക്കിന്റെ മകനുമായ യോശുവയ്ക്കും ഹഗ്ഗായിപ്രവാചകൻ മുഖാന്തരം യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടുണ്ടായി:
2 ౨ “మేము కలిసి రావడానికి గానీ యెహోవా మందిరాన్ని కట్టడానికి గానీ ఇది సమయం కాదు అని ఈ ప్రజలు చెబుతున్నారు కదా.”
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “‘യഹോവയുടെ ആലയം പണിയുന്നതിനുള്ള സമയം ആയിട്ടില്ല’ എന്ന് ഈ ജനം പറയുന്നു!”
യഹോവയുടെ വചനം ഹഗ്ഗായിപ്രവാചകൻ മുഖാന്തരം വന്നു:
“ഈ ആലയം ശൂന്യമായിക്കിടക്കുമ്പോൾ, നിങ്ങൾക്ക് തട്ടിട്ട വീടുകളിൽ താമസിക്കാൻ സമയമായോ?”
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതരീതികളെക്കുറിച്ചു സൂക്ഷ്മമായി ചിന്തിക്കുക.
6 ౬ మీరు ఎక్కువ విత్తనాలు చల్లినా పండింది కొంచెమే. మీరు భోజనం చేస్తున్నప్పటికీ ఆకలి తీరడం లేదు. మీరు ద్రాక్షరసం తాగుతున్నప్పటికీ మత్తు రావడం లేదు. బట్టలు కప్పుకుంటున్నా చలి ఆగడం లేదు. పనివారు కష్టపడి జీతం సంపాదించుకున్నా జీతం చినిగిపోయిన సంచిలో వేసినట్టుగా ఉంది.
നിങ്ങൾ വളരെയധികം വിതച്ചു, എങ്കിലും അൽപ്പമേ കൊയ്തുള്ളൂ; നിങ്ങൾ ഭക്ഷിച്ചു, പക്ഷേ, മതിയായില്ല. നിങ്ങൾ പാനംചെയ്യുന്നു, എന്നാൽ തൃപ്തിയാകുന്നില്ല. നിങ്ങൾ വസ്ത്രം ധരിക്കുന്നു, എന്നാൽ ചൂടു ലഭിക്കുന്നില്ല. നിങ്ങൾ ശമ്പളം വാങ്ങുന്നു, ഓട്ടയുള്ള പണസഞ്ചിയിൽ ഇടാൻവേണ്ടിമാത്രം ഉപകരിക്കുന്നു.”
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതരീതികളെക്കുറിച്ചു സൂക്ഷ്മമായി ചിന്തിക്കുക.
8 ౮ పర్వతాలెక్కి కలప తీసుకు వచ్చి మీరు ఈ మందిరాన్ని కట్టించండి. అప్పుడు నేను ఆనందిస్తాను. నాకు ఘనత వస్తుంది” అని యెహోవా అంటున్నాడు.
പർവതങ്ങളിൽ പോയി മരം കൊണ്ടുവന്ന് എന്റെ ആലയം പണിയുക; എനിക്ക് അതിൽ പ്രസാദമുണ്ടാകുകയും ഞാൻ അതിൽ മഹത്ത്വപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യും,” എന്ന് യഹോവ കൽപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
9 ౯ “విస్తారంగా కావాలని మీరు ఎదురు చూశారు గానీ నేను దాన్ని చెదరగొట్టినందువల్ల మీరు కొంచెమే ఇంటికి తెచ్చుకోగలిగారు. ఎందుకని? యెహోవా అడుగుతున్నాడు. ఎందుకంటే నా మందిరం పాడై ఉన్నా మీరంతా మీ చక్కని సొంత ఇళ్ళు కట్టుకుంటూ ఆనందిస్తున్నారు.
“നിങ്ങൾ വളരെയധികം പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചു, എന്നാൽ നോക്കുക, അത് അൽപ്പമേ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നുള്ളൂ. നിങ്ങൾ വീട്ടിൽ കൊണ്ടുവന്നതിനെ ഞാൻ ഊതിക്കളഞ്ഞു. എന്തുകൊണ്ട്?” എന്നു സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ചോദിക്കുന്നു. “എന്റെ ആലയം ശൂന്യമായിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ ഓരോരുത്തരും സ്വന്തം കാര്യത്തിൽ ബദ്ധശ്രദ്ധരായിരിക്കുന്നു.
അതുകൊണ്ട്, നിങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം ആകാശം മഞ്ഞുപെയ്യാതെ അടഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു, ഭൂമി അതിന്റെ വിളവ് നൽകുന്നതുമില്ല.
11 ౧౧ నేను భూమికీ పర్వతాలకూ అనావృష్టి కలగజేసి, ధాన్యం విషయంలో, ద్రాక్షారసం విషయంలో, తైలం విషయంలో, భూమి ఫలించే అన్నిటి విషయంలో, మనుషుల విషయంలో, పశువుల విషయంలో, చేతి పనులన్నిటి విషయంలో కరువు రప్పించాను.”
നിലങ്ങളിലും പർവതങ്ങളിലും ധാന്യത്തിലും പുതുവീഞ്ഞിലും ഒലിവെണ്ണയിലും ഭൂമിയിൽ ഉല്പാദിപ്പിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാറ്റിലും മനുഷ്യരുടെമേലും കന്നുകാലികളുടെമേലും നിങ്ങളുടെ കൈകളുടെ അധ്വാനങ്ങളിലും ഞാൻ ഒരു വരൾച്ച അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.”
12 ౧౨ షయల్తీయేలు కొడుకు జెరుబ్బాబెలు, యెహోజాదాకు కొడుకు, ప్రధానయాజకుడు యెహోషువ, శేషించిన ఇశ్రాయేలీ ప్రజలంతా తమ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మాటలు ఆలకించి, తమ దేవుడైన యెహోవా ప్రవక్త హగ్గయిని పంపించి, తెలియజేసిన మాట విని యెహోవా పట్ల భయభక్తులు చూపారు.
അപ്പോൾ ശെയൽത്തിയേലിന്റെ മകൻ സെരൂബ്ബാബേലും യെഹോസാദാക്കിന്റെ മകൻ മഹാപുരോഹിതനായ യോശുവയും ജനത്തിൽ ശേഷിപ്പുള്ള എല്ലാവരും തങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടുകളും തങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അയച്ച പ്രവാചകനായ ഹഗ്ഗായിയുടെ വചനങ്ങളും അനുസരിച്ചു. അവരുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ അദ്ദേഹത്തെ അയച്ചിരുന്നതിനാൽ ജനം യഹോവയെ ഭയപ്പെട്ടു.
13 ౧౩ అప్పుడు యెహోవా ప్రవక్త హగ్గయి యెహోవా చెప్పగా ప్రజలతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “నేను మీకు తోడుగా ఉన్నాను.” ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
അപ്പോൾ യഹോവയുടെ ദൂതനായ ഹഗ്ഗായി, യഹോവയുടെ ഈ വചനം ജനത്തെ അറിയിച്ചു: “ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ഉണ്ട്” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
14 ౧౪ యెహోవా యూదాదేశపు అధికారి అయిన షయల్తీయేలు కుమారుడు జెరుబ్బాబెలు మనస్సును, ప్రధాన యాజకుడైన యెహోజాదాకు కుమారుడు యెహోషువ మనస్సును, శేషించిన జనులందరి మనస్సును ప్రేరేపించాడు.
അങ്ങനെ യഹോവ, യെഹൂദാദേശാധിപതിയും ശെയൽത്തിയേലിന്റെ മകനുമായ സെരൂബ്ബാബേലിന്റെയും മഹാപുരോഹിതനും യെഹോസാദാക്കിന്റെ മകനുമായ യോശുവയുടെയും ശേഷിച്ച സകലജനത്തിന്റെയും ആത്മാവിനെ ഉണർത്തി. തങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിനുവേണ്ടിയുള്ള വേല ആരംഭിക്കുന്നതിന്,
15 ౧౫ వారు కూడి వచ్చి, దర్యావేషు రాజు పరిపాలనలో రెండవ సంవత్సరం ఆరవ నెల ఇరవై నాలుగవ రోజున సేనల ప్రభువైన తమ దేవుని మందిరపు పనిచేయడం మొదలుపెట్టారు.
ആറാംമാസം ഇരുപത്തിനാലാം തീയതി അവർ വന്നുകൂടി. ദാര്യാവേശ് രാജാവിന്റെ രണ്ടാംവർഷത്തിൽ,
