యెషయా~ గ్రంథము 53
൧ഞങ്ങൾ കേൾപ്പിച്ചത് ആര് വിശ്വസിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു? യഹോവയുടെ ഭുജം ആർക്ക് വെളിപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു?
2 ౨ ఆయన యెహోవా ఎదుట లేత మొక్కలాగా ఎండిపోయిన భూమిలో మొలిచిన మొక్కలాగా పెరిగాడు. అతనికి ఎలాంటి మంచి రూపంగానీ గొప్పదనంగానీ లేదు. మనలను ఆకర్షించే అందమేమీ ఆయనలో కనబడలేదు.
൨അവൻ ഇളയ തൈപോലെയും വരണ്ട നിലത്തുനിന്നു വേര് മുളയ്ക്കുന്നതുപോലെയും അവിടുത്തെ മുമ്പാകെ വളരും; അവനു രൂപഗുണം ഇല്ല, കോമളത്വം ഇല്ല; കണ്ടാൽ ആഗ്രഹിക്കത്തക്ക സൗന്ദര്യവുമില്ല.
3 ౩ ఆయన మనుష్యుల తృణీకారానికీ నిరాకరణకూ గురి అయ్యాడు. ఆయన విచారాలతో అస్తమానం బాధలతో నిండిపోయినవాడు. మన ముఖాలు ఆయనకు కనబడకుండా చేసుకున్నాం. ఆయన తృణీకారానికి గురి అయ్యాడు. ఆయనంటే మనకు లెక్కలేదు.
൩അവൻ മനുഷ്യരാൽ നിന്ദിക്കപ്പെട്ടും ത്യജിക്കപ്പെട്ടും വ്യസനപാത്രമായും രോഗം ശീലിച്ചവനായും ഇരുന്നു; അവനെ കാണുന്നവർ മുഖം മറച്ചുകളയത്തക്കവിധം അവൻ നിന്ദിതനായിരുന്നു; നാം അവനെ ആദരിച്ചതുമില്ല.
4 ౪ అయితే ఆయన మన రోగాలను కచ్చితంగా భరించాడు. మన దుఖాలను మోశాడు. అయినా దేవుడు ఆయనను శిక్షించాడనీ దెబ్బ కొట్టి బాధించాడనీ మనం భావించుకున్నాం.
൪സാക്ഷാൽ നമ്മുടെ രോഗങ്ങളെ അവൻ വഹിച്ചു; നമ്മുടെ വേദനകളെ അവൻ ചുമന്നു; നാമോ, ദൈവം അവനെ ശിക്ഷിച്ചും അടിച്ചും ദണ്ഡിപ്പിച്ചുമിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു വിചാരിച്ചു.
5 ౫ కానీ ఆయన మన తిరుగుబాటు చేష్టల వలన గాయపడ్డాడు. మన పాపాలను బట్టి ఆయన్ని నలగగొట్టడం జరిగింది. మనకు శాంతి కలిగించే శిక్ష ఆయనమీద పడింది. ఆయన పొందిన గాయాల వలన మనం బాగుపడ్దాం.
൫എന്നാൽ അവൻ നമ്മുടെ അതിക്രമങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം മുറിവേറ്റും നമ്മുടെ അകൃത്യങ്ങൾനിമിത്തം തകർന്നും ഇരിക്കുന്നു; നമ്മുടെ സമാധാനത്തിനായുള്ള ശിക്ഷ അവന്റെമേൽ ആയി അവന്റെ അടിപ്പിണരുകളാൽ നമുക്കു സൗഖ്യം വന്നുമിരിക്കുന്നു.
6 ౬ మనందరం గొర్రెలలాగా దారి తప్పాము. మనలో ప్రతివాడూ తనకిష్టమైన దారికి తొలగిపోయాము. యెహోవా మనందరి దోషాన్ని ఆయనమీద మోపాడు.
൬നാം എല്ലാവരും ആടുകളെപ്പോലെ തെറ്റിപ്പോയിരുന്നു; നാം ഓരോരുത്തനും അവനവന്റെ വഴിക്കു തിരിഞ്ഞിരുന്നു; എന്നാൽ യഹോവ നമ്മുടെ എല്ലാവരുടെയും അകൃത്യം അവന്റെമേൽ ചുമത്തി.
7 ౭ ఆయన దుర్మార్గానికి గురి అయ్యాడు. బాధల పాలైనా అతడు నోరు తెరవలేదు. గొర్రెపిల్లలాగా ఆయన్ని వధకు తీసుకుపోయారు. బొచ్చు కత్తిరించే వారి ఎదుట గొర్రె మౌనంగా ఉన్నట్టు అతడు నోరు తెరవలేదు.
൭തന്നെത്താൻ താഴ്ത്തി വായ് തുറക്കാതെയിരുന്നിട്ടും അവൻ പീഡിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടു; കൊല്ലുവാൻ കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്ന കുഞ്ഞാടിനെപ്പോലെയും രോമം കത്രിക്കുന്നവരുടെ മുമ്പാകെ മിണ്ടാതെയിരിക്കുന്ന ആടിനെപ്പോലെയും അവൻ വായ് തുറക്കാതെ ഇരുന്നു.
8 ౮ అన్యాయపు తీర్పుతో ఆయన్ని శిక్షించారు. ఆ తరంలో ఆయన గురించి ఎవరు పట్టించుకున్నారు? నా ప్రజల దుర్మార్గానికి ఆయనకు శిక్ష పడింది. సజీవుల భూమిలోనుంచి అతడు హతమయ్యాడు.
൮അവൻ പീഡനത്താലും ശിക്ഷാവിധിയാലും എടുക്കപ്പെട്ടു; ജീവനുള്ളവരുടെ ദേശത്തുനിന്ന് അവൻ ഛേദിക്കപ്പെട്ടു എന്നും എന്റെ ജനത്തിന്റെ അതിക്രമംനിമിത്തം അവനു ദണ്ഡനം വന്നു എന്നും അവന്റെ തലമുറയിൽ ആര് വിചാരിച്ചു?
9 ౯ అతడు చనిపోయినప్పుడు నేరస్థులతో అతన్ని సమాధి చేశారు. ధనవంతుని దగ్గర అతన్ని ఉంచారు. అతడు ఏ నేరమూ చేయలేదు. అతని నోట మోసం ఎప్పుడూ లేదు.
൯അവൻ സാഹസം ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാതെയും അവന്റെ വായിൽ വഞ്ചനയൊന്നും ഇല്ലാതെയും ഇരുന്നിട്ടും അവർ അവനു ദുഷ്ടന്മാരോടുകൂടി ശവക്കുഴി കൊടുത്തു; അവന്റെ മരണത്തിൽ അവൻ സമ്പന്നന്മാരോടുകൂടി ആയിരുന്നു.
10 ౧౦ అయినా ఆయన్ని నలగ్గొట్టడం, బాధించడం యెహోవాకు ఇష్టమయింది. ఆయన అతనికి వ్యాధి కలగచేశాడు. ఆయన జీవితాన్ని మీ పాప పరిహారంగా మీరు ఎంచితే ఆయన తన సంతానాన్ని చూస్తాడు. ఆయన చాలాకాలం జీవిస్తాడు. ఆయన ద్వారా యెహోవా ఉద్దేశం నెరవేరుతుంది.
൧൦എന്നാൽ അവനെ തകർത്തുകളയുവാൻ യഹോവയ്ക്ക് ഇഷ്ടം തോന്നി; അവിടുന്ന് അവനു കഷ്ടം വരുത്തി; അവന്റെ പ്രാണൻ ഒരു അകൃത്യയാഗമായിത്തീർന്നിട്ട് അവൻ സന്തതിയെ കാണുകയും ദീർഘായുസ്സു പ്രാപിക്കുകയും യഹോവയുടെ ഇഷ്ടം അവന്റെ കയ്യാൽ സാധിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.
11 ౧౧ తన వేదన వలన కలిగిన ఫలితం చూసి ఆయన సంతృప్తి పొందుతాడు. నీతిమంతుడైన నా సేవకుడు అనేకమంది దోషాలను భరించి తన జ్ఞానంతో వారిని నిర్దోషులుగా ఎంచుతాడు.
൧൧അവൻ തന്റെ പ്രയത്നഫലം കണ്ടു തൃപ്തനാകും; നീതിമാനായ എന്റെ ദാസൻ തന്റെ പരിജ്ഞാനംകൊണ്ടു പലരെയും നീതീകരിക്കും; അവരുടെ അകൃത്യങ്ങളെ അവൻ വഹിക്കും.
12 ౧౨ కాబట్టి గొప్పవారితో నేనతనికి పాలు పంచిపెడతాను. అనేకమందితో కలిసి అతడు కొల్లసొమ్ము పంచుకుంటాడు. ఎందుకంటే ఆయన తన ప్రాణం ధారపోసి చనిపోయాడు. అక్రమకారుల్లో ఒకడిగా ఆయన్ని ఎంచడం జరిగింది. ఆయన చాలామంది పాపాన్ని భరిస్తూ అపరాధుల కోసం విజ్ఞాపన చేశాడు.
൧൨അതുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ അവനു മഹാന്മാരോടുകൂടി ഓഹരി കൊടുക്കും; ബലവാന്മാരോടുകൂടി അവൻ കൊള്ള പങ്കിടും; അവൻ തന്റെ പ്രാണനെ മരണത്തിന് ഒഴുക്കിക്കളയുകയും അനേകം പേരുടെ പാപം വഹിച്ചും അതിക്രമക്കാർക്കു വേണ്ടി ഇടനിന്നുംകൊണ്ട് അതിക്രമക്കാരോടുകൂടി എണ്ണപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യുകയാൽ തന്നെ.
