యెషయా~ గ్రంథము 6
1 ౧ రాజైన ఉజ్జియా చనిపోయిన సంవత్సరం అత్యున్నతమైన సింహాసనంపై ప్రభువు కూర్చుని ఉండగా నేను చూశాను. ఆయన అంగీ అంచులు దేవాలయాన్ని నింపివేశాయి.
ഉസ്സീയാരാജാവു മരിച്ച ആണ്ടിൽ കർത്താവു, ഉയർന്നും പൊങ്ങിയുമുള്ള സിംഹാസനത്തിൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നതു ഞാൻ കണ്ടു; അവന്റെ വസ്ത്രത്തിന്റെ വിളുമ്പുകൾ മന്ദിരത്തെ നിറച്ചിരുന്നു.
2 ౨ ఆయనకు పైగా సెరాపులు నిలబడి ఉన్నారు. ఒక్కొక్కరికి ఆరేసి రెక్కలున్నాయి. ప్రతివాడూ రెండు రెక్కలతో తన ముఖాన్ని, రెంటితో తన కాళ్లను కప్పుకుంటూ రెంటితో ఎగురుతున్నారు.
സാറാഫുകൾ അവന്നു ചുറ്റും നിന്നു; ഓരോരുത്തന്നു ആറാറു ചിറകുണ്ടായിരുന്നു; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ടു അവർ മൂഖം മൂടി; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ടു കാൽ മൂടി; രണ്ടുകൊണ്ടു പറന്നു.
3 ౩ వారు “సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా, పరిశుద్ధుడు, పరిశుద్ధుడు, పరిశుద్ధుడు. లోకమంతా ఆయన మహిమతో నిండి ఉంది” అని గొప్ప స్వరంతో గాన ప్రతిగానాలు చేస్తున్నారు.
ഒരുത്തനോടു ഒരുത്തൻ; സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ പരിശുദ്ധൻ, പരിശുദ്ധൻ, പരിശുദ്ധൻ; സർവ്വഭൂമിയും അവന്റെ മഹത്വംകൊണ്ടു നിറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു ആർത്തുപറഞ്ഞു.
അവർ ആർക്കുന്ന ശബ്ദത്താൽ ഉമ്മരപ്പടികളുടെ അടിസ്ഥാനങ്ങൾ കുലുങ്ങി, ആലയം പുകകൊണ്ടു നിറഞ്ഞു.
5 ౫ నేను “అయ్యో, నావి అపవిత్రమైన పెదాలు. అపవిత్రమైన పెదాలున్న జనం మధ్య నివసిస్తున్నాను. నేను నశించాను. రాజు, సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవాను నేను కన్నులారా చూశాను” అనుకున్నాను.
അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ: എനിക്കു അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം; ഞാൻ നശിച്ചു; ഞാൻ ശുദ്ധിയില്ലാത്ത അധരങ്ങൾ ഉള്ളോരു മനുഷ്യൻ; ശുദ്ധിയില്ലാത്ത അധരങ്ങൾ ഉള്ള ജനത്തിന്റെ നടുവിൽ വസിക്കുന്നു; എന്റെ കണ്ണു സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവയായ രാജാവിനെ കണ്ടുവല്ലോ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
6 ౬ అప్పుడు ఆ సెరాపుల్లో ఒకడు బలిపీఠం మీద నుండి పట్టుకారుతో ఎర్రగా కాలిన నిప్పు తీసి నా దగ్గరికి ఎగిరి వచ్చి నా నోటికి దాని తగిలించాడు.
അപ്പോൾ സാറാഫുകളിൽ ഒരുത്തൻ യാഗപീഠത്തിൽനിന്നു കൊടിൽകൊണ്ടു ഒരു തീക്കനൽ എടുത്തു കയ്യിൽ പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു എന്റെ അടുക്കൽ പറന്നുവന്നു,
അതു എന്റെ വായ്ക്കു തൊടുവിച്ചു: ഇതാ, ഇതു നിന്റെ അധരങ്ങളെ തൊട്ടതിനാൽ നിന്റെ അകൃത്യം നീങ്ങി നിന്റെ പാപത്തിന്നു പരിഹാരം വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
8 ౮ అప్పుడు “నేను ఎవరిని పంపాలి? మా పక్షంగా ఎవరు వెళ్తారు?” అని ప్రభువు అంటుండగా విన్నాను. అప్పుడు నేను “ఇదుగో నేనున్నాను, నన్ను పంపు” అన్నాను.
അനന്തരം ഞാൻ ആരെ അയക്കേണ്ടു? ആർ നമുക്കു വേണ്ടി പോകും? എന്നു ചോദിക്കുന്ന കർത്താവിന്റെ ശബ്ദം കേട്ടിട്ടു: അടിയൻ ഇതാ അടിയനെ അയക്കേണമേ എന്നു ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞു.
9 ౯ ఆయన “నీవు వెళ్లి ఈ ప్రజలతో చెప్పు. మీరు అస్తమానం వింటూ ఉంటారు గానీ గ్రహించరు. ఎప్పుడూ చూస్తుంటారు గానీ తెలుసుకోరు.
അപ്പോൾ അവൻ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതു: നീ ചെന്നു, ഈ ജനത്തോടു പറയേണ്ടതു: നിങ്ങൾ കേട്ടുകൊണ്ടിട്ടും തിരിച്ചറികയില്ല; നിങ്ങൾ കണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിട്ടും ഗ്രഹിക്കയുമില്ല.
10 ౧౦ వారు కళ్ళతో చూసి, చెవులతో విని, హృదయంతో గ్రహించి, మనస్సు మార్చుకుని, స్వస్థత పొందకుండా ఉండేలా ఈ ప్రజల హృదయం కొవ్వెక్కేలా చేసి, వారి చెవులకు చెవుడు, వారి కళ్ళకు గుడ్డితనం కలిగించు” అని చెప్పాడు.
ഈ ജനം കണ്ണുകൊണ്ടു കാണുകയോ ചെവികൊണ്ടു കേൾക്കയോ ഹൃദയംകൊണ്ടു ഗ്രഹിക്കയോ മനസ്സു തിരിഞ്ഞു സൗഖ്യം പ്രാപിക്കയോ ചെയ്യാതെ ഇരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു നീ അവരുടെ ഹൃദയം തടിപ്പിക്കയും അവരുടെ ചെവി മന്ദമാക്കുകയും അവരുടെ കണ്ണു അടെച്ചുകളകയും ചെയ്ക.
11 ౧౧ “ప్రభూ, ఎన్నాళ్ల వరకు?” అని నేనడిగాను. ఆయన ఇలా అన్నాడు. “నివాసులు లేక పట్టణాలు, మనుష్యులు లేక ఇళ్ళు శిథిలమైపోయే దాకా, దేశం బొత్తిగా బీడుగా మారే దాకా,
കർത്താവേ, എത്രത്തോളം? എന്നു ഞാൻ ചോദിച്ചതിന്നു അവൻ: പട്ടണങ്ങൾ നിവാസികളില്ലാതെയും വീടുകൾ ആളില്ലാതെയും ശൂന്യമായി ദേശം തീരെ പാഴായിപ്പോകയും
യഹോവ മനുഷ്യരെ ദൂരത്തു അകറ്റീട്ടു ദേശത്തിന്റെ നടുവിൽ വലിയോരു നിർജ്ജനപ്രദേശം ഉണ്ടാകയും ചെയ്യുവോളം തന്നേ എന്നു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു.
13 ౧౩ దానిలో పదవ భాగం మాత్రం మిగిలిపోయినా అది కూడా నాశనమౌతుంది. సింధూర మస్తకి వృక్షాలను నరికి వేసినా తరువాత మిగిలి ఉండే మొద్దులాగా అది ఉంటుంది. అలాటి మొద్దులో పరిశుద్ధమైన చిగురు ఉంది.
അതിൽ ഒരു ദശാംശം എങ്കിലും ശേഷിച്ചാൽ അതു വീണ്ടും നാശത്തിന്നു ഇരയായ്തീരും; എങ്കിലും കരിമരവും കരുവേലവും വെട്ടിയിട്ടാൽ അവയുടെ കുറ്റി ശേഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ വിശുദ്ധസന്തതി ഒരു കുറ്റിയായി ശേഷിക്കും.
