యెషయా~ గ్రంథము 14
1 ౧ యెహోవా యాకోబు మీద జాలిపడతాడు. ఆయన మళ్ళీ ఇశ్రాయేలును ఎంపిక చేసుకుని వారికి తమ స్వదేశంలో పూర్వ క్షేమ స్థితి కలిగిస్తాడు. పరదేశులు వాళ్ళల్లో కలిసి, యాకోబు సంతతితో జత కూడుతారు.
യഹോവയ്ക്കു യാക്കോബിനോടു കരുണ തോന്നും; അവിടന്ന് ഇസ്രായേലിനെ ഒരിക്കൽക്കൂടി തെരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുകയും സ്വദേശത്ത് അവരെ പാർപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും. വിദേശികളും അവരോടൊപ്പംചേരും അവർ യാക്കോബിന്റെ സന്തതികളുമായി ഇഴുകിച്ചേരും
2 ౨ ఇతర జాతులు వాళ్ళను తమ సొంత దేశానికి తీసుకు పోతారు. ఇశ్రాయేలు వంశస్థులు యెహోవా దేశంలో వాళ్ళను దాసదాసీలుగా ఉపయోగించుకుంటారు. తమను బందీలుగా పట్టుకున్న వాళ్ళను వాళ్ళు బందీలుగా పట్టుకుంటారు. తమను బాధించిన వాళ్ళ మీద పరిపాలన చేస్తారు.
രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾ അവരെ സഹായിക്കുകയും അവരെ അവരുടെ സ്ഥലത്തേക്കു കൊണ്ടുവരികയും ചെയ്യും. ഇസ്രായേൽ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾ കൈവശമാക്കും, യഹോവയുടെ ദേശത്ത് അവർ അവരെ ദാസന്മാരായും ദാസിമാരായും മാറ്റും. തങ്ങളെ ബന്ധനസ്ഥരാക്കിയവരെ അവർ ബന്ധനസ്ഥരാക്കും, തങ്ങളെ അടിച്ചമർത്തിയവരുടെമേൽ അവർ വാഴും.
3 ౩ ఆ రోజున నీ బాధ నుంచి, నీ వేదన నుంచి, నువ్వు చెయ్యాల్సి వచ్చిన కష్టం నుంచి యెహోవా నీకు విశ్రాంతి ఇస్తాడు.
നിങ്ങളുടെ ദുഃഖം, കഷ്ടത, നിങ്ങളുടെമേൽ ചുമത്തിയ കഠിനവേല എന്നിവയിൽനിന്ന് യഹോവ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് വിശ്രമം നൽകുന്ന കാലത്ത്,
4 ౪ ఆ రోజున నువ్వు బబులోను రాజు గూర్చి ఎగతాళి పాట ఎత్తి ఇలా పాడతావు. “బాధించిన వాళ్లకు అంతం ఎలా వచ్చిందో చూడు. గర్వించిన రౌద్రం ఎలా అంతమయ్యిందో చూడు!
ബാബേൽരാജാവിനെപ്പറ്റി ഈ പരിഹാസഗാനം നിങ്ങൾ ആലപിക്കും: “പീഡകൻ എങ്ങനെ ഇല്ലാതെയായി! അവന്റെ ക്രോധം എങ്ങനെ നിലച്ചു?”
5 ౫ దుష్టుల దుడ్డుకర్రనూ, ఎడతెగని హత్యలతో జాతులను క్రూరంగా కొట్టిన పాలకుల రాజదండాన్ని యెహోవా విరగ్గొట్టాడు.
യഹോവ ദുഷ്ടരുടെ വടിയും ഭരണാധികാരികളുടെ ചെങ്കോലും തകർത്തുകളഞ്ഞു,
അതു ജനത്തെ കോപത്തോടെ നിരന്തരം പ്രഹരിച്ചുപോന്നു, അതു രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളെ കോപത്തോടും അനിയന്ത്രിതമായ അക്രമത്തോടെയും അടക്കിഭരിച്ചുപോന്നു.
ഭൂമി മുഴുവൻ സമാധാനത്തോടെ വിശ്രമിക്കുന്നു; അവർ സന്തോഷത്തോടെ ആർത്തുപാടുന്നു.
8 ౮ నిన్ను గూర్చి తమాల వృక్షాలు, లెబానోను దేవదారు వృక్షాలు సంతోషిస్తూ ఇలా అంటాయి, ‘నువ్వు ఓడిపోయినప్పట్నుంచి చెట్లు నరికే వాడెవడూ మమ్మల్ని నరకడానికి మా మీదకు రాలేదు.’
സരളവൃക്ഷങ്ങളും ലെബാനോനിലെ ദേവദാരുക്കളും നിന്നെക്കുറിച്ചു സന്തോഷിച്ചു, “നീ വീണുപോയതുമുതൽ, ഒരു മരംവെട്ടുകാരനും ഞങ്ങളുടെനേരേ വരുന്നില്ല” എന്നു പറയുന്നു.
9 ౯ నువ్వు ప్రవేశిస్తూ ఉండగానే నిన్ను ఎదుర్కోడానికి పాతాళం నీ కోసం ఆసక్తిగా ఎదురు చూస్తోంది. అది నీ కోసం చనిపోయిన వాళ్ళను లేపుతోంది. భూరాజులందరినీ, జనాల రాజులందరినీ వాళ్ళ సింహాసనాల మీద నుంచి లేపుతోంది. (Sheol h7585)
നീ വരുമ്പോൾ നിന്നെ എതിരേൽക്കാൻ താഴെയുള്ള പാതാളം അസ്വസ്ഥമായിരിക്കുന്നു; അതു ഭൂമിയിൽ നേതാക്കളായിരുന്ന സകലരുടെയും ആത്മാക്കളെ നിനക്കുവേണ്ടി ഉണർത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു; അതു രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളിൽ രാജാക്കന്മാരായിരുന്ന എല്ലാവരെയും സിംഹാസനങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് എഴുന്നേൽപ്പിക്കുന്നു. (Sheol h7585)
അവരെല്ലാം നിന്നോട്: “നീയും ഞങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ ബലഹീനനായോ? നീ ഞങ്ങൾക്കു തുല്യനായിത്തീർന്നോ?” എന്നു പറയും.
11 ౧౧ నీ ఆడంబరం, నీ తీగ వాయిద్య స్వరం పాతాళానికి పడిపోయాయి. నీ కింద పురుగులు వ్యాపిస్తాయి. క్రిములు నిన్ను కప్పుతాయి. (Sheol h7585)
നിന്റെ പ്രതാപവും നിന്റെ വാദ്യഘോഷവും പാതാളത്തിലേക്കു താഴ്ത്തപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു; പുഴുക്കളെ കിടക്കയായി നിന്റെ കീഴിൽ വിരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; കീടങ്ങൾ നിനക്കു പുതപ്പായിരിക്കുന്നു. (Sheol h7585)
12 ౧౨ తేజోనక్షత్రమా, వేకువచుక్కా, ఆకాశం నుంచి నువ్వెలా పడిపోయావు? జాతులను కూల్చిన నువ్వు నేలమట్టం వరకూ ఎలా తెగి పడిపోయావు?
ഉഷസ്സിന്റെ പുത്രാ, ഉദയനക്ഷത്രമേ! നീ ആകാശത്തുനിന്നു വീണുപോയതെങ്ങനെ! ഒരിക്കൽ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളെ താഴ്ത്തിക്കളഞ്ഞവനേ, നീ വെട്ടേറ്റു ഭൂമിയിൽ വീണുപോയതെങ്ങനെ!
13 ౧౩ నువ్వు నీ హృదయంలో, ‘నేను ఆకాశానికి ఎక్కిపోతాను, దేవుని నక్షత్రాలకన్నా ఎత్తుగా నా సింహాసనాన్ని గొప్ప చేసుకుంటాను, ఉత్తరం వైపు ఉన్న సభాపర్వతం మీద కూర్చుంటాను,
നീ നിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ പറഞ്ഞു, “ഞാൻ സ്വർഗത്തിൽ കയറും. ദൈവത്തിന്റെ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങൾക്കുമേൽ ഞാനെന്റെ സിംഹാസനം ഉയർത്തും; സമാഗമപർവതത്തിന്മേൽ സിംഹാസനാരൂഢനാകും, സാഫോൺ പർവതത്തിന്റെ ഔന്നത്യങ്ങളിൽ ഞാൻ ഇരുന്നരുളും.
മേഘോന്നതികൾക്കുമീതേ ഞാൻ കയറും; എന്നെത്തന്നെ ഞാൻ പരമോന്നതനു തുല്യനാക്കും.”
എന്നാൽ നീ പാതാളത്തിലേക്ക്, നാശകൂപത്തിന്റെ അഗാധതയിലേക്കുതന്നെ താഴ്ത്തപ്പെടും. (Sheol h7585)
നിന്നെ കാണുന്നവർ നിന്നെ ഉറ്റുനോക്കും, അവർ നിനക്കു ഭവിച്ചതിനെക്കുറിച്ചു ചിന്തിക്കും: “ഇവനാണോ ഭൂമിയെ കിടുകിടെ വിറപ്പിച്ചവൻ? രാജ്യങ്ങളെ വിഹ്വലമാക്കിയവൻ?
17 ౧౭ ‘భూమిని కంపింపజేసి రాజ్యాలను వణకించినవాడు ఇతడేనా? లోకాన్ని నిర్జన ప్రదేశంగా చేసి, దాని పట్టణాలను పాడు చేసినవాడు ఇతడేనా? తాను చెరపట్టిన వాళ్ళను తమ నివాసస్థలానికి వెళ్ళనివ్వనివాడు ఇతడేనా?’
ഇവനാണോ ലോകത്തെ ഒരു മരുഭൂമിപോലെയാക്കി, അതിലെ നഗരങ്ങളെ തകിടംമറിച്ച്, തന്റെ ബന്ദികളെ വീട്ടിലേക്കു മടങ്ങാൻ അനുവദിക്കാതിരുന്നവൻ?”
രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങളിലെ രാജാക്കന്മാരെല്ലാം അവരവരുടെ ശവകുടീരത്തിൽ പ്രതാപികളായി കിടക്കുന്നു.
19 ౧౯ కానీ నువ్వు పారేసిన కొమ్మలా ఉన్నావు. కత్తివాత చచ్చిన శవాలు నిన్ను కప్పుతున్నాయి. అగాధంలో ఉన్న రాళ్ళ దగ్గరికి దిగిపోయిన వాళ్ళ శవాలు నిన్ను కప్పుతున్నాయి. నువ్వు తొక్కేసిన పీనుగులా అయ్యావు.
എന്നാൽ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഒരു ചുള്ളിക്കമ്പുപോലെ നിന്നെ കല്ലറയിൽനിന്ന് എറിഞ്ഞുകളഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു; വാളിനാൽ കുത്തിക്കൊല്ലപ്പെട്ടവരും കുഴിയിലെ കല്ലുകൾവരെ ഇറങ്ങിപ്പോയവരുമായ ഹതന്മാരാൽ നീ പൊതിയപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു. ചവിട്ടിയരയ്ക്കപ്പെട്ട ഒരു ശവശരീരംപോലെയാണു നിന്റെ അവസ്ഥ.
20 ౨౦ నీవు నీ దేశాన్ని పాడుచేసి నీ ప్రజలను హతం చేశావు. వాళ్ళతో పాటు నువ్వు సమాధిలో ఉండవు. దుష్టుల సంతానం ఎన్నడూ జ్ఞాపకానికి రాదు.
നീ നിന്റെ ദേശത്തെ നശിപ്പിക്കുകയും നിന്റെ ജനത്തെ വധിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുകയാൽ നിനക്ക് അവരെപ്പോലെ ഒരു ശവസംസ്കാരം ലഭിക്കുകയില്ല. ദുഷ്കർമികളുടെ സന്തതികൾ ഇനിയൊരിക്കലും സ്മരിക്കപ്പെടുകയില്ല.
21 ౨౧ తమ పూర్వీకుల అపరాధం కారణంగా అతని కొడుకులను హతం చేసే స్థలం సిద్ధం చెయ్యండి. వాళ్ళు పెరిగి భూమిని స్వాధీనం చేసుకుని పట్టణాలతో లోకాన్ని నింపకూడదు.”
“പൂർവികരുടെ പാപങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം അവരുടെ മക്കളെ വധിക്കുന്നതിന് ഒരു സ്ഥലം ഒരുക്കുക. അവർ എഴുന്നേറ്റു ഭൂമി കൈവശമാക്കി ഭൂമുഖം പട്ടണങ്ങളാൽ നിറയ്ക്കാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിനുതന്നെ.
22 ౨౨ సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా వాక్కు ఇదే “నేను వాళ్ళ మీదకు లేచి, బబులోనుకు దాని పేరునూ, శేషించిన వారినీ, సంతానాన్నీ లేకుండా కొట్టేస్తాను.” ఇది యెహోవా ప్రకటన.
“ഞാൻ അവർക്കെതിരേ എഴുന്നേൽക്കും,” എന്നു സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നു. “ഞാൻ ബാബേലിന്റെ നാമവും അതിജീവിച്ചവരെയും അവളുടെ സന്തതിയെയും പിൻഗാമികളെയും ഛേദിച്ചുകളയും,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
23 ౨౩ “నేను దాన్ని గుడ్లగూబల స్వాధీనం చేస్తాను. దాన్ని నీటి మడుగులుగా చేస్తాను. నాశనం అనే చీపురుకట్టతో దాన్ని తుడిచి పెట్టేస్తాను.” ఇది సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా ప్రకటన.
“ഞാൻ അതിനെ മുള്ളൻപന്നികളുടെ അവകാശവും ചതുപ്പുനിലവുമാക്കും. ഞാൻ അതിനെ നാശത്തിൻചൂൽകൊണ്ടു തൂത്തെറിയും,” എന്ന് സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
24 ౨౪ సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా ప్రమాణపూర్వకంగా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “కచ్చితంగా నేను ఉద్దేశించినట్టే అది జరుగుతుంది. నేను యోచన చేసినట్టే అది ఉంటుంది.
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ശപഥംചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു, “ഞാൻ നിശ്ചയിച്ചതുപോലെതന്നെ സംഭവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു, നിശ്ചയം, ഞാൻ ഉദ്ദേശിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളതുപോലെ അതു നിറവേറുകയും ചെയ്യും.
25 ౨౫ నా దేశంలో అష్షూరును విరగ్గొడతాను. నా పర్వతాల మీద అతన్ని నా కాళ్ళ కింద తొక్కుతాను. అప్పుడు అతని కాడి నా ప్రజల మీద నుంచి తొలగిపోతుంది. అతని భారం వాళ్ళ భుజాల మీద నుంచి తేలిపోతుంది.
അശ്ശൂരിനെ ഞാൻ എന്റെ ദേശത്തു തകർത്തുകളയും; എന്റെ പർവതത്തിന്മേൽ അവനെ ചവിട്ടിമെതിക്കും. അപ്പോൾ അവന്റെ നുകം എന്റെ ജനത്തിൽനിന്ന് എടുത്തുമാറ്റുകയും അവന്റെ ചുമട് അവരുടെ ചുമലിൽനിന്നു നീക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യും.”
സകലഭൂമിക്കുംവേണ്ടി നിർണയിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള പദ്ധതിയാണിത്; എല്ലാ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങൾക്കുമെതിരേ നീട്ടിയിരിക്കുന്ന കരവുമാണിത്.
27 ౨౭ సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన యెహోవా దాన్ని ఆలోచించాడు. ఆయన్ని ఆపేవాడెవడు? ఆయన చెయ్యి ఎత్తి ఉంది. దాన్ని ఎవడు వెనక్కి తిప్పుతాడు?”
സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ നിർണയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. അവിടത്തെ പദ്ധതി നിഷ്ഫലമാക്കാൻ ആർക്കു കഴിയും? അവിടന്നു നീട്ടിയ കരത്തെ പിന്തിരിപ്പിക്കാൻ ആർക്കു സാധിക്കും?
ആഹാസുരാജാവു നാടുനീങ്ങിയ വർഷം ഈ അരുളപ്പാടുണ്ടായി:
29 ౨౯ “ఫిలిష్తియా, నిన్ను కొట్టిన దండం విరిగిపోయిందని సంతోషించకు. ఆ సర్పవంశం నుంచి కట్లపాము వస్తుంది. దాని సంతానం, రెక్కల అగ్ని సర్పం.
സകലഫെലിസ്ത്യരുമേ, നിങ്ങളെ അടിച്ച വടി ഒടിഞ്ഞുപോയതിനാൽ നിങ്ങൾ ആഹ്ലാദിക്കരുത്; സർപ്പത്തിന്റെ വേരിൽനിന്ന് ഒരു അണലി പുറപ്പെടും, അതിന്റെ ഫലത്തിൽനിന്ന് വിഷംചീറ്റുന്ന ഒരു സർപ്പം പുറപ്പെടും.
30 ౩౦ అప్పుడు పేదలకే పేదలైన వారు భోజనం చేస్తారు. నిరాశ్రయులు క్షేమంగా పండుకుంటారు. కాని, నేను నీ సంతానాన్ని కరువుతో చంపేస్తాను. అది నీలో మిగిలిన వాళ్ళను హతం చేస్తుంది.
ദരിദ്രരിൽ ദരിദ്രർ ഭക്ഷിക്കും, എളിയവർ സുരക്ഷിതരായി വിശ്രമിക്കും. എന്നാൽ നിന്റെ വേരിനെ ഞാൻ ക്ഷാമത്താൽ നശിപ്പിക്കും; നിങ്ങളിൽ അതിജീവിച്ചവരെ അതു സംഹരിച്ചുകളയും.
31 ౩౧ ద్వారమా, ప్రలాపించు. పట్టణమా, అంగలార్చు. ఫిలిష్తియా, నువ్వు పూర్తిగా కరిగిపోతావు. ఎందుకంటే ఉత్తరం నుంచి పొగ మేఘం వస్తున్నది. బారులు తీరిన సైన్యంలో వెనుతిరిగే వాడు ఒక్కడూ లేడు.
നഗരകവാടമേ, വിലപിക്കൂ! നഗരമേ നിലവിളിക്കൂ! ഫെലിസ്ത്യരേ, വെന്തുരുകുക! വടക്കുനിന്ന് ഒരു പുകപടലം വരുന്നു, ആ സൈന്യഗണത്തിൽ തളർന്നു പിൻവാങ്ങുന്നവർ ആരുംതന്നെയില്ല.
32 ౩౨ ఆ దేశ వార్తాహరుడికి ఇవ్వాల్సిన జవాబేది? యెహోవా సీయోనును స్థాపించాడు. ఆయన ప్రజల్లో బాధకు గురైన వాళ్లకు దానిలో ఆశ్రయం దొరుకుతుంది.”
ആ രാഷ്ട്രത്തിലെ സ്ഥാനപതികളോട്, എന്താണ് ഉത്തരം പറയുക? “യഹോവ സീയോനെ സ്ഥാപിച്ചെന്നും അവിടത്തെ ജനത്തിലെ പീഡിതർ അവളിൽ അഭയംതേടുമെന്നുംതന്നെ.”
