యిర్మీయా 15
1 ౧ అప్పుడు యెహోవా నాకిలా చెప్పాడు. “మోషే అయినా సమూయేలైనా నా ఎదుట నిలబడినప్పటికీ ఈ ప్రజలను అంగీకరించడానికి నాకు మనస్సు ఒప్పుకోదు. నా దగ్గర నుంచి వాళ్ళను వెళ్లగొట్టు. వాళ్ళను వెళ్లనియ్యి.”
അപ്പോൾ യഹോവ എന്നോട് അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു: “മോശയും ശമുവേലും എന്റെമുമ്പിൽ നിന്നാലും എന്റെ മനസ്സ് ഈ ജനത്തിലേക്കു ചായുകയില്ല. അവരെ എന്റെ മുമ്പിൽനിന്ന് ആട്ടിപ്പായിക്കുക! അവർ പൊയ്ക്കൊള്ളട്ടെ!
2 ౨ “మేమెక్కడికి వెళ్ళాలి?” అని వాళ్ళు నిన్నడితే నువ్వు వాళ్ళతో ఇలా చెప్పు. “యెహోవా ఈ మాట సెలవిస్తున్నాడు, చావు కోసం ఏర్పాటైన వాళ్ళు చావుకూ, కత్తి కోసం ఏర్పాటైన వాళ్ళు కత్తికీ, కరువు కోసం ఏర్పాటైన వాళ్ళు కరువుకూ, చెరకు ఏర్పాటైన వాళ్ళు చెరకూ వెళ్ళాలి.
‘ഞങ്ങൾ എങ്ങോട്ടു പോകണം?’ എന്ന് അവർ നിന്നോടു ചോദിച്ചാൽ, ‘യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് ഇപ്രകാരമാണ് എന്ന്,’ നീ അവരെ അറിയിക്കണം: “‘മരണത്തിനുള്ളവർ മരണത്തിനും; വാളിനുള്ളവർ വാളിനും; ക്ഷാമത്തിനുള്ളവർ ക്ഷാമത്തിനും; പ്രവാസത്തിനുള്ളവർ പ്രവാസത്തിനും പൊയ്ക്കൊള്ളട്ടെ.’
3 ౩ చంపడానికి కత్తినీ, చీల్చడానికి కుక్కలనూ, తినివేయడానికీ నాశనం చేయడానికీ ఆకాశ పక్షులనూ, భూమి మీద తిరిగే మృగాలనూ పంపిస్తాను. ఈ నాలుగు రకాల బాధలు వారికి వస్తాయి.” ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.
“ഞാൻ നാലുതരം നാശങ്ങളെ അവരുടെമേൽ നിയമിക്കും,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു. “സംഹരിക്കുന്നതിനു വാളും കടിച്ചുകീറുന്നതിനു നായ്ക്കളും തിന്നുമുടിക്കാൻ ആകാശത്തിലെ പറവകളും വന്യമൃഗങ്ങളുംതന്നെ.
4 ౪ యూదా రాజు హిజ్కియా కొడుకు మనష్షే యెరూషలేములో చేసిన పనులను బట్టి భూమి మీద ఉన్న రాజ్యాలన్నిటికీ భీతి కలిగేలా చేస్తాను.
യെഹൂദാരാജാവായ ഹിസ്കിയാവിന്റെ മകൻ മനശ്ശെനിമിത്തം, അവൻ ജെറുശലേമിൽ ചെയ്ത കാര്യങ്ങൾനിമിത്തംതന്നെ, ഞാൻ അവരെ ഭൂമിയിലെ എല്ലാ രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെയും മധ്യത്തിൽ ഒരു ഭീതിവിഷയമാക്കും.
5 ౫ యెరూషలేమా, నిన్ను ఎవరు కనికరిస్తారు? నీ గురించి ఎవరు ఏడుస్తారు? నీ బాగోగులు ఎవరు పట్టించుకుంటారు? ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.
“ജെറുശലേമേ, ആർക്കു നിന്നോടു സഹതാപം തോന്നും? ആര് നിന്നെയോർത്തു വിലപിക്കും? നിന്റെ അവസ്ഥയെക്കുറിച്ച് അന്വേഷിക്കാൻ ആര് അടുത്തുവരും?
6 ౬ నువ్వు నన్ను వదిలేసావు. నా దగ్గర నుంచి వెళ్ళిపోయావు. కాబట్టి నా చేత్తో నిన్ను కొడతాను. నిన్ను నాశనం చేస్తాను. నీ మీద జాలిపడి విసిగిపోయాను.
നീ എന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു. “നിങ്ങൾ വിശ്വാസത്യാഗികളായി തുടരുന്നു. തന്മൂലം ഞാൻ നിനക്കെതിരേ കൈനീട്ടി നിന്നെ നശിപ്പിക്കും; ഞാൻ ക്ഷമകാണിച്ചു മടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
7 ౭ దేశం గుమ్మాల్లో నేను వారిని చేటతో తూర్పారపడతాను. నా ప్రజలు తమ పద్ధతులను విడిచి నా దగ్గరికి రావడం లేదు కాబట్టి వాళ్ళను నాశనం చేస్తాను. వారికి వియోగం కలిగిస్తాను.
നിങ്ങളുടെ പട്ടണകവാടങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് ഒരു വീശുമുറംകൊണ്ടു ഞാൻ അവരെ പാറ്റിക്കൊഴിക്കും. ഞാൻ എന്റെ ജനത്തെ മക്കളില്ലാത്തവരാക്കുകയും അവരെ നശിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും; എന്റെ ജനം തങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതരീതി വിട്ടുതിരിയാത്തതുമൂലംതന്നെ.
8 ౮ వారి వితంతువుల సంఖ్య సముద్రతీరాన ఇసుక కంటే ఎక్కువయ్యేలా చేస్తాను. నేను మధ్యాహ్నం సమయంలో యువకుల తల్లుల మీదికి నాశనం చేసేవాణ్ణి పంపిస్తాను. వారి మీదికి భయం, దిగ్భ్రాంతి ఆకస్మాత్తుగా రప్పిస్తాను.
അവരുടെ വിധവകൾ എന്റെമുമ്പിൽ കടൽപ്പുറത്തെ മണലിനെക്കാൾ അധികമാകും. അവരുടെ യുവാക്കളുടെ മാതാക്കൾക്കെതിരേ ഞാൻ നട്ടുച്ചയ്ക്ക് ഒരു വിനാശകനെ വരുത്തും; ഞാൻ പെട്ടെന്ന് നടുക്കവും നിരാശയും അവളുടെമേൽ പതിക്കാൻ ഇടയാക്കും.
9 ౯ ఏడుగురిని కనిన స్త్రీ నీరసించి ప్రాణం విడుస్తుంది. పగటి సమయం ఇంకా ఉండగానే ఆమె పొద్దు ముగుస్తుంది. ఆమె సిగ్గుతో అవమానం పాలవుతుంది. మిగిలిన వారిని తమ శత్రువుల ఎదుట కత్తిపాలు చేస్తాను. ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.
ഏഴുമക്കളെ പ്രസവിച്ചവൾ തളർന്ന് ജീവൻ വെടിയുന്നു. പകൽ സമയത്തുതന്നെ അവളുടെ സൂര്യൻ അസ്തമിച്ചുപോകും; അവൾ ലജ്ജിതയും പരിഭ്രാന്തയുമാകും. അവരിൽ ശേഷിച്ചവരെ ഞാൻ ശത്രുക്കളുടെ വാളിന് ഏൽപ്പിച്ചുകൊടുക്കും,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
10 ౧౦ అయ్యో నాకెంతో బాధ! అమ్మా! దేశస్థులందరితో కలహాలు పెట్టుకునేవాడిగా నన్ను కన్నావు. నేనెవరికీ అప్పివ్వలేదు, అప్పు తీసుకోలేదు. అయినా వారంతా నన్ను దూషిస్తున్నారు.
അയ്യോ, എന്റെ അമ്മേ, നാടുമുഴുവനും ഏതൊരുവനോട് കലഹിച്ചു മത്സരിക്കുന്നുവോ, അങ്ങനെയുള്ള എന്നെയാണല്ലോ നീ പ്രസവിച്ചത്. എനിക്ക് അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം! ഞാൻ പലിശയ്ക്കു കൊടുത്തിട്ടില്ല, എന്നോടാരും പലിശ വാങ്ങിയിട്ടുമില്ല, എന്നിട്ടും അവരെല്ലാവരും എന്നെ ശപിക്കുന്നു.
11 ౧౧ అందుకు యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “మంచి కోసం నేను నిన్ను తప్పించనా? తప్పకుండా విపత్తులో బాధలో నీ శత్రువులు నీ సాయాన్ని అర్థించేలా చేస్తాను.
യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു: “തീർച്ചയായും ഒരു സദുദ്ദേശ്യത്തോടെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ സ്വതന്ത്രനാക്കും; ആപത്തിന്റെയും പീഡനത്തിന്റെയും കാലത്ത് നിന്റെ ശത്രു നിന്നോടു യാചിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ ഇടവരുത്തും, നിശ്ചയം.
“ഒരു പുരുഷന് ഇരുമ്പ്—ഉത്തരദിക്കിൽനിന്നുള്ള ഇരുമ്പോ വെങ്കലമോ—ഒടിക്കാൻ കഴിയുമോ?
13 ౧౩ మీ ప్రాంతాలన్నిటిలో మీరు చేసే పాపాలన్నిటికీ మీ సంపదనూ మీ విలువైన వస్తువులనూ నేను దోపుడు సొమ్ముగా అప్పగిస్తాను.
“നിന്റെ രാജ്യംമുഴുവനും പാപത്താൽ നിറഞ്ഞതുനിമിത്തം നിന്റെ സമ്പത്തും നിക്ഷേപങ്ങളും ഞാൻ വിലവാങ്ങാതെ, കവർച്ചമുതലായി ഏൽപ്പിച്ചുകൊടുക്കും.
14 ౧౪ నువ్వెరుగని దేశంలో మీ శత్రువులకు మిమ్మల్ని బానిసలుగా చేస్తాను. నా కోపం మంటల్లాగా రగులుకుంది. అది మిమ్మల్ని దహిస్తుంది.
നീ അറിയാത്ത ഒരു ദേശത്ത് ഞാൻ നിന്നെ നിന്റെ ശത്രുക്കൾക്ക് അടിമയാക്കും; കാരണം എന്റെ കോപത്തിൽ ഒരു തീ ജ്വലിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു, അതു നിനക്കെതിരേ ജ്വലിക്കും.”
15 ౧౫ యెహోవా, నా బాధ నీకే తెలుసు. నన్ను గుర్తు చేసుకుని సాయం చెయ్యి. నన్ను బాధించే వారి మీద నా కోసం ప్రతీకారం చెయ్యి. నువ్వు ఓర్పు వహించి నన్ను తీసుకుపోవద్దు. నీ కోసమే నేను నింద భరిస్తున్నానని గుర్తు చేసుకో.
യഹോവേ, അങ്ങ് അറിയുന്നല്ലോ; എന്നെ ഓർക്കണമേ, എനിക്കായി കരുതണമേ. എന്നെ പീഡിപ്പിക്കുന്നവരോടു പ്രതികാരംചെയ്യണമേ. എന്നെ എടുത്തുകളയരുതേ, അങ്ങ് ദീർഘക്ഷമയുള്ളവനാണല്ലോ; അങ്ങേക്കുവേണ്ടി ഞാൻ എങ്ങനെ നിന്ദ സഹിക്കുന്നു എന്ന് ഓർക്കണമേ.
16 ౧౬ సేనల ప్రభువైన యెహోవా, నేను నీ పేరు పెట్టుకున్నాను. నీ మాటలు నాకు దొరికితే నేను వాటిని తిన్నాను. నీ మాటలు నాకెంతో సంతోషంగా హృదయానందంగా ఉన్నాయి.
ഞാൻ അങ്ങയുടെ വചനങ്ങളെ കണ്ടെത്തി, അവ ഭക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. അങ്ങയുടെ വചനം എന്റെ ആനന്ദവും എന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിന്റെ പ്രമോദവുമായിത്തീർന്നു; സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവേ, ഞാൻ അങ്ങയുടെ നാമം വഹിക്കുന്നല്ലോ.
17 ౧౭ వేడుక చేసుకునే వాళ్ళ గుంపులో నేను కూర్చుని సంతోషించలేదు. నీ బలమైన చెయ్యి నా మీద ఉంది. కడుపుమంటతో నువ్వు నన్ను నింపావు. కాబట్టి, నేను ఒంటరిగా కూర్చున్నాను.
പരിഹാസികളുടെ സഭയിൽ ഞാൻ ഒരിക്കലും ഇരിക്കുകയോ അവരോടൊപ്പം ആനന്ദിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല; അങ്ങ് എന്നെ ധാർമികരോഷംകൊണ്ടു നിറച്ചിരിക്കുകയാൽ അങ്ങയുടെ കരം നിമിത്തം ഞാൻ ഏകാന്തതയിൽ കഴിഞ്ഞുകൂടി.
18 ౧౮ నా బాధకు అంతం లేదెందుకు? నా గాయం ఎందుకు ఘోరమై నయం కాకుండా ఉంది? నువ్వు నాకు మోసజలం లాగా, ఇంకిపోయే ఊటలాగా ఉంటావా?”
എന്റെ വേദന അവസാനിക്കാത്തതും എന്റെ മുറിവു വേദനാജനകവും സൗഖ്യമാകാത്തതും ആയിരിക്കുന്നതെന്ത്? അങ്ങ് എനിക്കു വഞ്ചിക്കുന്ന അരുവിയും വറ്റിപ്പോകുന്ന നീരുറവുംപോലെ ആയിരിക്കുമോ?
19 ౧౯ అప్పుడు యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “యిర్మీయా, నువ్వు నావైపు తిరిగితే నువ్వు నా సన్నిధిని నిలిచేలా నేను నిన్ను తిరిగి రప్పిస్తాను. యోగ్యమైన వాటిలో నుంచి పనికిమాలిన వాటిని నువ్వు తీసేస్తే నా నోటిలాగా నువ్వుంటావు. ప్రజలు నీవైపుకు తిరుగుతారు. అయితే నువ్వు వారి వైపుకు తిరగకూడదు.
അതുകൊണ്ട് യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നീ പശ്ചാത്തപിച്ചാൽ എന്നെ സേവിക്കുന്നതിനായി, ഞാൻ നിന്നെ പുനരുദ്ധരിക്കും; വ്യർഥമായവ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് സാർഥകമായതു സംസാരിച്ചാൽ, നീ എന്റെ വക്താവായിത്തീരും. ഈ ജനം നിന്റെ അടുക്കലേക്കു തിരിയട്ടെ, എന്നാൽ നീ അവരുടെ അടുത്തേക്കു തിരിയുകയില്ല.
20 ౨౦ నేను నిన్ను ఈ ప్రజలకు అభేధ్యమైన కంచుకోటగా చేస్తాను. వాళ్ళు నీ మీద యుద్ధం చేస్తారు గాని నిన్ను గెలవలేరు. నిన్ను రక్షించడానికి, నిన్ను విడిపించడానికి నేను నీకు తోడై ఉంటాను. ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.
ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ആ ജനത്തിന് കെട്ടിയുറപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട വെങ്കലഭിത്തിയാക്കിത്തീർക്കും; അവർ നിനക്കെതിരേ യുദ്ധംചെയ്യും, എന്നാൽ ജയിക്കുകയില്ലതാനും; നിന്നെ രക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനും മോചിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും ഞാൻ നിന്നോടുകൂടെയുണ്ട്,” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
“ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ദുഷ്ടജനങ്ങളുടെ കൈയിൽനിന്നു രക്ഷിക്കുകയും ക്രൂരജനങ്ങളുടെ കൈയിൽനിന്നു വിടുവിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.”
