యెషయా~ గ్రంథము 10
ദരിദ്രന്മാരുടെ ന്യായം മറിച്ചുകളവാനും എന്റെ ജനത്തിലെ എളിയവരുടെ അവകാശം ഇല്ലാതാക്കുവാനും വിധവമാർ തങ്ങൾക്കു കൊള്ളയായ്തീരുവാനും അനാഥന്മാരെ തങ്ങൾക്കു ഇരയാക്കുവാനും തക്കവണ്ണം
2 ౨ తల్లిదండ్రులు లేని వాళ్ళను దోచుకోవాలనీ కోరి, అవసరతలో ఉన్న వాళ్లకు న్యాయం జరిగించకుండా చేసి, నా ప్రజల్లో ఉన్న పేదలకు హక్కులు లేకుండా చేసి, అన్యాయ నియమాలు విధించే వారికీ, బాధ కలిగించే శాసనాలు చేసే వారికీ బాధ.
നീതികെട്ട ചട്ടം നിയമിക്കുന്നവൎക്കും അനൎത്ഥം എഴുതിവെക്കുന്ന എഴുത്തുകാൎക്കും അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം!
3 ౩ తీర్పు రోజున, దూరం నుంచి వచ్చే నాశనదినాన మీరేం చేస్తారు? సాయం కోసం ఎవరి దగ్గరికి పారిపోతారు? మీ ఐశ్వర్యం ఎక్కడ ఉంచుతారు?
സന്ദൎശനദിവസത്തിലും ദൂരത്തുനിന്നു വരുന്ന വിനാശത്തിങ്കലും നിങ്ങൾ എന്തു ചെയ്യും? സഹായത്തിന്നായിട്ടു നിങ്ങൾ ആരുടെ അടുക്കൽ ഓടിപ്പോകും? നിങ്ങളുടെ മഹത്വം നിങ്ങൾ എവിടെ വെച്ചുകൊള്ളും?
4 ౪ నువ్వు బందీలైన వాళ్ళ కింద ముడుచుకుని దాక్కున్నావు. హతమైన వాళ్ళతోపాటు పడి ఉన్నావు. అయినా యెహోవా కోపం చల్లారలేదు. ఎత్తిన ఆయన చెయ్యి దెబ్బ కొట్టేందుకు ఇంకా ఎత్తే ఉంటుంది.
അവർ ബദ്ധന്മാരുടെ കീഴെ കുനികയും ഹതന്മാരുടെ കീഴെ വീഴുകയും ചെയ്കേയുള്ളു. ഇതെല്ലാം കൊണ്ടും അവന്റെ കോപം അടങ്ങാതെ അവന്റെ കൈ ഇനിയും നീട്ടിയിരിക്കും.
എന്റെ കോപത്തിന്റെ കോലായ അശ്ശൂരിന്നു അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം! അവരുടെ കയ്യിലെ വടി എന്റെ ക്രോധം ആകുന്നു.
6 ౬ భక్తిహీనులైన ప్రజల మీదకి నేను వాళ్ళను పంపిస్తాను. కొల్లసొమ్ము దోచుకోడానికీ, వేటాడింది తెచ్చుకోడానికీ, వాళ్ళను వీధుల్లో మట్టి తొక్కినట్టు తొక్కడానికీ, నా ఉగ్రతకు పాత్రులైన అహంకార ప్రజలకు విరోధంగా అతన్ని పంపిస్తాను.
ഞാൻ അവനെ അശുദ്ധമായോരു ജാതിക്കു നേരെ അയക്കും; എന്റെ ക്രോധം വഹിക്കുന്ന ജനത്തിന്നു വിരോധമായി ഞാൻ അവന്നു കല്പന കൊടുക്കും; അവരെ കൊള്ളയിടുവാനും കവൎച്ച ചെയ്‌വാനും തെരുവീഥിയിലെ ചെളിയെപ്പോലെ ചവിട്ടിക്കളവാനും തന്നേ.
7 ౭ కాని అతడు ఆలా అనుకోడు. అది అతని ఉద్దేశం కాదు. నాశనం చెయ్యాలనీ, అనేకమందిని నిర్మూలం చెయ్యాలనీ అతని ఆలోచన.
അവനോ അങ്ങനെയല്ല നിരൂപിക്കുന്നതു; തന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ അങ്ങനെയല്ല വിചാരിക്കുന്നതു; നശിപ്പിപ്പാനും അനേകം ജാതികളെ ഛേദിച്ചുകളവാനുമത്രേ അവന്റെ താല്പൎയ്യം.
അവൻ പറയുന്നതു: എന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാർ ഒക്കെയും രാജാക്കന്മാരല്ലയോ?
കല്നോ കൎക്കെമീശിനെപ്പോലെയല്ലയോ? ഹമാത്ത് അൎപ്പാദിനെപ്പോലെയല്ലയോ? ശമൎയ്യ ദമ്മേശെക്കിനെപ്പോലെയല്ലയോ?
10 ౧౦ విగ్రహాలను పూజించే రాజ్యాలు నా చేతికి చిక్కాయి గదా, వాటి విగ్రహాలు యెరూషలేము, షోమ్రోనుల విగ్రహాల కంటే ఎక్కువే గదా.
യെരൂശലേമിലും ശമൎയ്യയിലും ഉള്ളവയെക്കാൾ വിശേഷമായ ബിംബങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന മിത്ഥ്യാമൂൎത്തികളുടെ രാജ്യങ്ങളെ എന്റെ കൈ എത്തിപ്പിടിച്ചിരിക്കെ,
11 ౧౧ షోమ్రోను పట్ల, దాని విగ్రహాల పట్ల నేను చేసినట్టు యెరూషలేము పట్ల, దాని విగ్రహాల పట్ల చెయ్యకుండా ఉంటానా” అంటాడు.
ഞാൻ ശമൎയ്യയോടും അതിലെ മിത്ഥ്യാമൂൎത്തികളോടും ചെയ്തതുപോലെ ഞാൻ യെരൂശലേമിനോടും അതിലെ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളോടും ചെയ്കയില്ലയോ?
12 ౧౨ సీయోను కొండ మీద, యెరూషలేము మీద ప్రభువు తన కార్యమంతా నెరవేర్చిన తరువాత ఆయన “నేను అష్షూరు రాజు హృదయ గర్వం కారణంగా అతని మాటను బట్టి, అతని కళ్ళల్లోని అహంకారపు చూపులను బట్టి, అతన్ని శిక్షిస్తాను” అంటాడు.
അതുകൊണ്ടു കൎത്താവു സീയോൻപൎവ്വതത്തിലും യെരൂശലേമിലും തന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തിയൊക്കെയും തീൎത്തശേഷം, ഞാൻ അശ്ശൂർരാജാവിന്റെ അഹങ്കാരത്തിന്റെ ഫലത്തെയും അവന്റെ ഉന്നതഭാവത്തിന്റെ മഹിമയെയും സന്ദൎശിക്കും.
13 ౧౩ ఎందుకంటే అతడు, “నేను తెలివైన వాణ్ణి. నా బలంతో, నా బుద్ధితో అలా చేశాను. నేను దేశాల సరిహద్దులను మార్చి వాళ్ళ ఖజానాలను దోచుకున్నాను. మహా బలిష్ఠుడినై సింహాసనాల మీద కూర్చున్న వాళ్ళను కూలదోశాను.
എന്റെ കയ്യുടെ ശക്തികൊണ്ടും എന്റെ ജ്ഞാനം കൊണ്ടും ഞാൻ ഇതു ചെയ്തു; ഞാൻ ബുദ്ധിമാൻ; ഞാൻ ജാതികളുടെ അതിരുകളെ മാറ്റുകയും അവരുടെ ഭണ്ഡാരങ്ങളെ കവൎന്നുകളകയും പരാക്രമിയെപ്പോലെ സിംഹാസനസ്ഥന്മാരെ താഴ്ത്തുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
14 ౧౪ పక్షిగూటిలో ఒకడు చెయ్యి పెట్టినట్టు దేశాల ఆస్తి చేజిక్కించుకున్నాను. విడిచిపెట్టిన గుడ్లను ఏరుకున్నట్టు నేను భూమంతా సంపాదించుకున్నాను. ఏ పక్షీ రెక్కలు ఆడించలేదు, నోరు తెరవలేదు, కిచకిచలాడలేదు” అంటాడు.
എന്റെ കൈ ജാതികളുടെ ധനത്തെ ഒരു പക്ഷിക്കൂടിനെപ്പോലെ എത്തിപ്പിടിച്ചു; ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞ മുട്ടകളെ ശേഖരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, ഞാൻ സൎവ്വഭൂമിയെയും കൂട്ടിച്ചേൎത്തു; ചിറകു അനക്കുകയോ ചുണ്ടു തുറക്കുകയോ ചിലെക്കുകയോ ചെയ്‌വാൻ ഒന്നും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല എന്നു അവൻ പറയുന്നുവല്ലോ.
15 ౧౫ నరికేవాణ్ణి చూసి గొడ్డలి తన గురించి తాను ప్రగల్భాలు పలుకుతుందా? కోసేవాణ్ణి చూసి రంపం తన గురించి తాను పొగడుకుంటుందా? ఇది ఒక కర్ర తనను ఎత్తేవాణ్ణి పైకెత్తగలిగినట్టు ఉంది. ఒక గద ఒక వ్యక్తిని పైకి లేపగలిగినట్టు ఉంది.
വെട്ടുന്നവനോടു കോടാലി വമ്പു പറയുമോ? വലിക്കുന്നവനോടു ഈൎച്ചവാൾ വലിപ്പം കാട്ടുമോ? അതോ, പിടിക്കുന്നവനെ വടി പൊക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും മരമല്ലാത്തവനെ കോൽ പൊന്തിക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും ആകുന്നു.
16 ౧౬ కాబట్టి, ప్రభువూ, సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా అష్షూరీయుల ప్రఖ్యాత యోధుల మీదకు బక్కచిక్కి కృశించిపోయే రోగం పంపిస్తాడు. వారు ఆయన మహిమ కింద అగ్ని రాజుకుని కాలిపోతారు.
അതുകൊണ്ടു സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ കൎത്താവു അവന്റെ പുഷ്ടന്മാരുടെ ഇടയിൽ ക്ഷയം അയക്കും; അവന്റെ മഹത്വത്തിൻ കീഴെ തീ കത്തുംപോലെ ഒന്നു കത്തും.
17 ౧౭ ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుని వెలుగు ఒక అగ్ని అవుతుంది. దాని పరిశుద్ధ దేవుడు ఒక జ్వాల అవుతాడు. అది అష్షూరు దేశపు బలురక్కసి చెట్లకూ, గచ్చపొదలకూ అంటుకుని ఒక్క రోజులో వాటిని మింగేస్తుంది.
യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ വെളിച്ചം ഒരു തീയായും അവന്റെ പരിശുദ്ധൻ ഒരു ജ്വാലയായും ഇരിക്കും; അതു കത്തി, ഒരു ദിവസംകൊണ്ടു അവന്റെ മുള്ളും പറക്കാരയും ദഹിപ്പിച്ചുകളയും.
18 ౧౮ ఒకడు వ్యాధితో క్షీణించిపోయినట్టు శరీర ప్రాణాలతోపాటు అతని అడవికీ అతని ఫలభరితమైన పొలాలకూ కలిగిన మహిమను అది నాశనం చేస్తుంది.
അവൻ അവന്റെ കാട്ടിന്റെയും തോട്ടത്തിന്റെയും മഹത്വത്തെ ദേഹിദേഹവുമായി നശിപ്പിക്കും; അതു ഒരു രോഗി ക്ഷയിച്ചു പോകുന്നതു പോലെയിരിക്കും.
അവന്റെ കാട്ടിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന വൃക്ഷങ്ങൾ ചുരുക്കം ആയിരിക്കും; ഒരു ബാലന്നു അവയെ എണ്ണി എഴുതാം.
20 ౨౦ ఆ రోజున ఇశ్రాయేలులో మిగిలినవాళ్ళు, యాకోబు కుటుంబీకుల్లో తప్పించుకున్నవాళ్ళు తమను హతం చేసిన వాణ్ణి ఇక ఎన్నడూ ఆశ్రయించకుండా ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల పరిశుద్ధ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీద నిజంగా ఆధారపడతారు.
അന്നാളിൽ യിസ്രായേലിൽ ശേഷിച്ചവരും യാക്കോബ് ഗൃഹത്തിലെ രക്ഷിതഗണവും തങ്ങളെ അടിച്ചവനെ ഇനി ആശ്രയിക്കാതെ, യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ പരിശുദ്ധനായ യഹോവയെ പരമാൎത്ഥമായി ആശ്രയിക്കും.
ഒരു ശേഷിപ്പു മടങ്ങിവരും (ശെയാർ-യാശൂബ്); യാക്കോബിന്റെ ശേഷിപ്പു വീരനാം ദൈവത്തിങ്കലേക്കു മടങ്ങിവരും.
22 ౨౨ ఇశ్రాయేలూ, నీ ప్రజలు సముద్రపు ఇసుకలా ఉన్నా, దానిలో మిగిలిన వాళ్ళే తిరుగుతారు. ప్రవాహంలా పారే నీతి నిర్ణయించిన ప్రకారం ఆ దేశానికి సమూల నాశనం ప్రాప్తించింది.
യിസ്രായേലേ, നിന്റെ ജനം കടല്ക്കരയിലെ മണൽപോലെ ആയിരുന്നാലും അതിൽ ഒരു ശേഷിപ്പു മാത്രം മടങ്ങിവരും; നീതിയെ പ്രവഹിക്കുന്നതായോരു സംഹാരം നിൎണ്ണയിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
23 ౨౩ ఎందుకంటే ప్రభువూ, సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా భూమంతటా తాను నిర్ణయించిన సమూల నాశనం అమలు చెయ్యబోతున్నాడు.
എങ്ങനെ എന്നാൽ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ കൎത്താവു സൎവ്വഭൂമിയുടെയും മദ്ധ്യേ നിൎണ്ണയിക്കപ്പെട്ട സംഹാരം വരുത്തും.
24 ౨౪ ప్రభువూ, సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “సీయోనులో నివాసం ఉంటున్న నా ప్రజలారా, అష్షూరుకు భయపడవద్దు. ఐగుప్తీయులు చేసినట్టు వాళ్ళు కర్రతో నిన్ను కొట్టి నీ మీద తమ దండం ఎత్తుతారు.
അതുകൊണ്ടു സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ കൎത്താവു ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: സീയോനിൽ വസിക്കുന്ന എന്റെ ജനമേ, അശ്ശൂർ വടികൊണ്ടു നിന്നെ അടിക്കയും മിസ്രയീമിലെ വിധത്തിൽ നിന്റെ നേരെ ചൂരൽ ഓങ്ങുകയും ചെയ്താലും നീ അവനെ ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ടാ.
25 ౨౫ అతనికి భయపడవద్దు. ఇంక కొద్ది కాలమైన తరువాత నీ మీద నా కోపం చల్లారుతుంది. నా కోపం అతని నాశనానికి దారి తీస్తుంది.”
ഇനി കുറഞ്ഞോന്നു കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു എന്റെ ക്രോധവും അവരുടെ സംഹാരത്തോടെ എന്റെ കോപവും തിൎന്നുപോകും.
26 ౨౬ ఓరేబు బండ దగ్గర మిద్యానును ఓడించినట్టు సేనల ప్రభువైన యెహోవా తన కొరడాను అతని మీద ఝుళిపిస్తాడు. ఆయన ఐగుప్తులో చేసినట్టు తన కర్ర సముద్రం మీద ఎత్తి దాన్ని పైకెత్తుతాడు.
ഓറേബ് പാറെക്കരികെ വെച്ചുള്ള മിദ്യാന്റെ സംഹാരത്തിൽ എന്നപോലെ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ അവന്റെ നേരെ ഒരു ചമ്മട്ടിയെ പൊക്കും; അവൻ തന്റെ വടി സമുദ്രത്തിന്മേൽ നീട്ടും; മിസ്രയീമിൽ ചെയ്തതുപോലെ അതിനെ ഓങ്ങും.
27 ౨౭ ఆ రోజున నీ భుజం మీద నుంచి అతని బరువు, నీ మెడ మీద నుంచి అతని కాడి తీసివేయడం జరుగుతుంది. నీ మెడ బలంగా ఉన్న కారణంగా ఆ కాడి నాశనం అవుతుంది.
അന്നാളിൽ അവന്റെ ചുമടു നിന്റെ തോളിൽനിന്നും അവന്റെ നുകം നിന്റെ കഴുത്തിൽ നിന്നും നീങ്ങിപ്പോകും; പുഷ്ടിനിമിത്തം നുകം തകൎന്നുപോകും.
28 ౨౮ శత్రువు ఆయాతు దగ్గరికి వచ్చాడు, మిగ్రోను మార్గంగుండా వెళ్తున్నాడు. మిక్మషులో తమ సామగ్రి నిల్వ చేశాడు.
അവൻ അയ്യാത്തിൽ എത്തി, മിഗ്രോനിൽകൂടി കടന്നു; മിക്മാശിൽ തന്റെ പടക്കോപ്പു വെച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
അവർ ചുരം കടന്നു; ഗേബയിൽ രാപാൎത്തു; റാമാ നടുങ്ങുന്നു; ശൌലിന്റെ ഗിബെയാ ഓടിപ്പോയി.
ഗല്ലീംപുത്രീ, ഉറക്കെ നിലവിളിക്ക; ലയേശേ, ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചുകേൾക്ക; അനാഥോത്തേ, ഉത്തരം പറക.
മദ്മേനാ ഓട്ടം തുടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നു; ഗെബീംനിവാസികൾ ഓട്ടത്തിന്നു വട്ടംകൂട്ടുന്നു.
32 ౩౨ ఈ రోజే అతను నోబులో ఆగుతాడు. ఈ రోజే సీయోను కుమారి పర్వతం, యెరూషలేము కొండవైపు వాళ్ళు తమ పిడికిలి ఊపుతున్నారు.
ഇന്നു അവൻ നോബിൽ താമസിക്കും; യെരൂശലേംഗിരിയായ സീയോൻ പുത്രിയുടെ പൎവ്വതത്തിന്റെ നേരെ അവൻ കൈ കുലുക്കുന്നു.
33 ౩౩ చూడండి, ప్రభువూ, సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా భీకర శబ్దంతో కొమ్మలను తెగగొట్టినప్పుడు ఎత్తయిన చెట్లు కూలిపోతాయి. గంభీరమైనవి పడిపోతాయి.
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ കൎത്താവു കൊമ്പുകളെ ഭയങ്കരമായി മുറിച്ചുകളയും; പൊക്കത്തിൽ വളൎന്നവയെ അവൻ വെട്ടിയിടുകയും ഉയൎന്നവയെ താഴ്ത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും.
അവൻ വനത്തിലെ പള്ളക്കാടുകളെ ഇരിമ്പായുധംകൊണ്ടു വെട്ടിക്കളയും; ലെബാനോനും ബലവാന്റെ കയ്യാൽ വീണുപോകും.
