యిర్మీయా 16
യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു എനിക്കുണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
ഈ സ്ഥലത്തു നീ ഭാര്യയെ പരിഗ്രഹിക്കരുതു; നിനക്കു പുത്രന്മാരും പുത്രിമാരും ഉണ്ടാകയും അരുതു.
3 ౩ ఈ స్థలంలో పుట్టే కొడుకుల గురించి కూతుళ్ళ గురించి, వాళ్ళను కనిన తల్లులను గురించి, ఈ దేశంలో వాళ్ళను కనిన తండ్రులను గురించి యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు.
ഈ സ്ഥലത്തു ജനിക്കുന്ന പുത്രന്മാരെയും പുത്രിമാരെയും കുറിച്ചും ഈ ദേശത്തു അവരെ പ്രസവിക്കുന്ന അമ്മമാരെക്കുറിച്ചും അവരെ ജനിപ്പിക്കുന്ന അപ്പന്മാരെക്കുറിച്ചും യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു:
4 ౪ “వాళ్ళు ఘోరమైన చావు చస్తారు. వాళ్ళను గురించి ఎవ్వరూ ఏడవరు. వాళ్ళను పాతిపెట్టరు. వాళ్ళు భూమి మీద పెంటకుప్పలాగా పడి ఉంటారు. వాళ్ళు కత్తితో, కరువుతో నశిస్తారు. వాళ్ళ శవాలు రాబందులకూ భూజంతువులకూ ఆహారంగా ఉంటాయి.”
അവർ കൊടിയ വ്യാധികളാൽ മരിക്കും; ആരും അവരെക്കുറിച്ചു വിലാപം കഴിക്കയോ അവരെ കുഴിച്ചിടുകയോ ചെയ്യാതെ അവർ നിലത്തിന്നു വളമായി കിടക്കും; വാളാലും ക്ഷാമത്താലും അവർ മുടിഞ്ഞുപോകും; അവരുടെ ശവങ്ങൾ ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികൾക്കും കാട്ടിലെ മൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ഇരയായിത്തീരും.
5 ౫ యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు. “నేను ఈ ప్రజలకు నా శాంతి, నా దయ, నా వాత్సల్యం తీసివేశాను, కాబట్టి విలపించే వాళ్ళ ఇంట్లోకి నువ్వు వెళ్లొద్దు. వాళ్ళను గురించి విలపించడానికి వెళ్ళవద్దు. ఎవరినీ ఓదార్చడానికి వెళ్ళవద్దు.” ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.
യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: നീ ദുഃഖഭവനത്തിൽ ചെല്ലരുതു; വിലപിപ്പാൻ പോകരുതു; അവരോടു സഹതാപം കാണിക്കയും അരുതു; ഞാൻ എന്റെ സമാധാനവും ദയയും കരുണയും ഈ ജനത്തിൽനിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞു എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
6 ౬ ఈ దేశంలో గొప్పవాళ్ళు, సామాన్యులు అందరూ చస్తారు. వాళ్ళను ఎవ్వరూ పాతిపెట్టరు. వాళ్ళ గురించి ఎవరూ ఏడవరు. తమను తాము గాయపరచుకోరు. తలవెంట్రుకలు కత్తిరించుకోరు.
വലിയവരും ചെറിയവരും ഈ ദേശത്തു മരിക്കും; ആരും അവരെ കുഴിച്ചിടുകയില്ല, അവരെക്കുറിച്ചു വിലാപം കഴിക്കയില്ല, അവരുടെനിമിത്തം മുറിവേല്പിക്കയില്ല, മുൻകഷണ്ടിയുണ്ടാക്കുകയുമില്ല.
7 ౭ చచ్చినవారి గురించి ప్రజలను ఓదార్చడానికి వారితో కలిసి తినే వాళ్ళెవరూ ఉండరు. ఒకరి నాన్న గానీ అమ్మ గానీ చనిపోతే కూడా ఎవరూ వారిని ఓదార్చేలా తాగడానికి ఏమీ ఇవ్వరు.
മരിച്ചവനെക്കുറിച്ചു അവരെ ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ആരും വിലാപത്തിങ്കൽ അവർക്കു അപ്പം നുറുക്കിക്കൊടുക്കയില്ല; അപ്പനെച്ചൊല്ലിയോ അമ്മയെച്ചൊല്ലിയോ ആരും അവർക്കു ആശ്വാസത്തിന്റെ പാനപാത്രം കുടിപ്പാൻ കൊടുക്കയുമില്ല.
അവരോടുകൂടെ ഇരുന്നു ഭക്ഷിപ്പാനും പാനം ചെയ്‌വാനും നീ വിരുന്നുവീട്ടിലേക്കു പോകരുതു.
9 ౯ ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడు, సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు. “మీ కళ్ళ ముందే మీ రోజుల్లోనే ఇక్కడే సంతోష ధ్వనినీ ఉత్సవ ధ్వనినీ పెళ్ళి కొడుకు, పెళ్లి కూతురు స్వరాలనూ ఆపబోతున్నాను.”
യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: നിങ്ങൾ കാൺകെ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ നാളുകളിൽ ആനന്ദഘോഷവും സന്തോഷധ്വനിയും മണവാളന്റെ സ്വരവും മണവാട്ടിയുടെ സ്വരവും ഈ സ്ഥലത്തുനിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളയും.
10 ౧౦ నువ్వు ఈ మాటలన్నీ ఈ ప్రజలకు తెలియచేసిన తరువాత, వారు “యెహోవా మాకెందుకు ఈ ఘోర విపత్తు నిర్ణయించాడు? మా దేవుడైన యెహోవాకు వ్యతిరేకంగా మేము చేసిన దోషం, పాపం ఏమిటి?” అని నిన్ను అడుగుతారు.
നീ ഈ വചനങ്ങളെ ഒക്കെയും ഈ ജനത്തോടു അറിയിക്കുമ്പോഴും യഹോവ ഞങ്ങൾക്കു വിരോധമായി ഈ വലിയ അനർത്ഥം ഒക്കെയും കല്പിച്ചതു എന്തു? ഞങ്ങളുടെ അകൃത്യം എന്തു? ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയോടു ഞങ്ങൾ ചെയ്ത പാപം എന്തു എന്നു അവർ നിന്നോടു ചോദിക്കുമ്പോഴും
11 ౧౧ అప్పుడు నువ్వు వారితో ఇలా చెప్పు. “యెహోవా ఈ మాట చెబుతున్నాడు. మీ పూర్వీకులు నన్ను విడిచి వేరే దేవుళ్ళను అనుసరించి పూజించి వాటికి మొక్కారు. వాళ్ళు నన్ను వదిలేసి నా ధర్మశాస్త్రాన్ని పాటించలేదు.
നീ അവരോടു പറയേണ്ടതു എന്തെന്നാൽ: നിങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാർ എന്നെ ത്യജിച്ചു അന്യദേവന്മാരോടു ചേർന്നു അവരെ സേവിച്ചു നമസ്കരിക്കയും എന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചു എന്റെ ന്യായപ്രമാണം അനുസരിച്ചു നടക്കാതെയിരിക്കയും ചെയ്കകൊണ്ടു തന്നേ എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
12 ౧౨ వినండి. మీరంతా నా మాట వినకుండా మీ చెడ్డ హృదయ కాఠిన్యం ప్రకారం నడుచుకుంటున్నారు. మీరు మీ పూర్వీకుల కంటే మరి ఎక్కువ దుర్మార్గం చేశారు.
നിങ്ങളോ നിങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാരെക്കാൾ അധികം ദോഷം ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു; നിങ്ങൾ ഓരോരുത്തനും എന്റെ വാക്കു കേൾക്കാതെ താന്താന്റെ ദുഷ്ടഹൃദയത്തിലെ ശാഠ്യം അനുസരിച്ചു നടക്കുന്നു.
13 ౧౩ కాబట్టి నేను మీ పట్ల ఏమాత్రం దయ చూపను. ఈ దేశం నుంచి మీకు గానీ మీ పూర్వీకులకు గానీ తెలియని దేశంలోకి ఇక్కడ నుంచి మిమ్మల్ని విసిరివేస్తాను. అక్కడ మీరు రాత్రింబగళ్ళు ఇతర దేవుళ్ళను పూజిస్తారు.”
അതുകൊണ്ടു ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ ഈ ദേശത്തുനിന്നു നിങ്ങളും നിങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാരും അറിയാത്ത ഒരു ദേശത്തേക്കു നീക്കിക്കളയും; അവിടെ നിങ്ങൾ രാവും പകലും അന്യദേവന്മാരെ സേവിക്കും; അവിടെ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്കു കൃപ കാണിക്കയുമില്ല.
14 ౧౪ యెహోవా తెలియజేసేదేమిటంటే “నేను వారి పూర్వీకులకు ఇచ్చిన దేశానికి వారిని మళ్ళీ రప్పిస్తాను. కాబట్టి రాబోయే రోజుల్లో ‘ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో నుండి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను రప్పించిన యెహోవా జీవం తోడు’ అని ఇకమీదట అనరు.
ആകയാൽ, യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളെ മിസ്രയീംദേശത്തുനിന്നു കൊണ്ടുവന്ന യഹോവയാണ എന്നു ഇനി പറയാതെ,
15 ౧౫ కానీ ‘ఉత్తరదేశంలో నుంచి ఆయన వారిని తరిమిన దేశాలన్నిటిలో నుంచి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను రప్పించిన యెహోవా జీవం తోడు’ అని ప్రజలు ప్రమాణం చేస్తారు.”
യിസ്രായേൽമക്കളെ വടക്കെദേശത്തുനിന്നും താൻ അവരെ നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞിരുന്ന സകലദേശങ്ങളിൽനിന്നും കൊണ്ടുവന്ന യഹോവയാണ എന്നു പറയുന്ന കാലം വരും എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു; ഞാൻ അവരുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാർക്കു കൊടുത്ത ദേശത്തിലേക്കു ഞാൻ അവരെ വീണ്ടും കൊണ്ടുവരും.
16 ౧౬ ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు. “వాళ్ళను పట్టుకోడానికి నేను చాలామంది జాలరులను పిలిపిస్తాను. తరువాత ప్రతి పర్వతం మీద నుంచి ప్రతి కొండ మీద నుంచి మెట్టల సందుల్లోనుంచి వారిని వేటాడి తోలివేయడానికి చాలామంది వేటగాళ్ళను పిలిపిస్తాను.
ഇതാ, ഞാൻ അനേകം മീൻപിടിക്കാരെ വരുത്തും; അവർ അവരെ പിടിക്കും; അതിന്റെ ശേഷം ഞാൻ അനേകം നായാട്ടുകാരെ വരുത്തും; അവർ അവരെ എല്ലാമലയിലുംനിന്നും എല്ലാകുന്നിലും നിന്നും പാറപ്പിളർപ്പുകളിൽനിന്നും നായാടിപ്പിടിക്കും എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
17 ౧౭ ఎందుకంటే వారు వెళ్ళిన దారులన్నిటి మీద నా దృష్టి ఉంది. ఏదీ నాకు కనిపించకుండా పోలేదు. వారి దోషం నా కళ్ళకు తేటతెల్లమే.
എന്റെ ദൃഷ്ടി അവരുടെ എല്ലാവഴികളുടെയും മേൽ വെച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അവ എനിക്കു മറഞ്ഞുകിടക്കുന്നില്ല; അവരുടെ അകൃത്യം എന്റെ കണ്ണിന്നു ഗുപ്തമായിരിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.
18 ౧౮ వాళ్ళు తమ నీచమైన విగ్రహాలతో నా సొత్తు నింపారు. నా దేశాన్ని అపవిత్రపరచారు. కాబట్టి నేను మొదట వారి దోషాన్ని బట్టి, వారి పాపాన్ని బట్టి రెండంతలుగా వారికి ప్రతీకారం చేస్తాను.”
അവർ എന്റെ ദേശത്തെ തങ്ങളുടെ മ്ലേച്ഛവിഗ്രഹങ്ങളാൽ മലിനമാക്കി എന്റെ അവകാശത്തെ തങ്ങളുടെ അറെപ്പുകളെക്കൊണ്ടു നിറെച്ചിരിക്കയാൽ, ഞാൻ ഒന്നാമതു അവരുടെ അകൃത്യത്തിന്നും അവരുടെ പാപത്തിന്നും ഇരിട്ടിച്ചു പകരം ചെയ്യും.
19 ౧౯ యెహోవా, నువ్వే నా బలం. నా దుర్గం. దురవస్థలో ఆశ్రయంగా ఉన్నావు. ప్రపంచమంతటి నుంచి రాజ్యాలు నీ దగ్గరికి వచ్చి “మా పూర్వీకులు, వ్యర్ధాన్ని స్వతంత్రించుకున్నారు. అవి వట్టివి విగ్రహాలు. అవి పనికిమాలినవి” అని చెబుతారు.
എന്റെ ബലവും എന്റെ കോട്ടയും കഷ്ടകാലത്തു എന്റെ ശരണവുമായ യഹോവേ, ജാതികൾ ഭൂമിയുടെ അറ്റങ്ങളിൽനിന്നു നിന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നു: ഞങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാർക്കു അവകാശമായിരുന്നതു മിത്ഥ്യാമൂർത്തികളായ വെറും ഭോഷ്കു അത്രേ; അവയിൽ പ്രയോജനമുള്ളതു ഒന്നുമില്ല എന്നു പറയും.
തനിക്കു ദേവന്മാരെ ഉണ്ടാക്കുവാൻ മനുഷ്യന്നു കഴിയുമോ? എന്നാൽ അവ ദേവന്മാരല്ല.
21 ౨౧ కాబట్టి “నా పేరు యెహోవా” అని వారు తెలుసుకునేలా నేను ఈసారి వారికి నేర్పిస్తాను. నా బలం, నా శౌర్యం ఎంతటివో వారికి తెలియజేస్తాను.
ആകയാൽ ഞാൻ ഈ പ്രാവശ്യം അവരെ ഒന്നു പഠിപ്പിക്കും; എന്റെ കയ്യും എന്റെ ബലവും ഞാൻ അവരെ ഒന്നു അനുഭവിപ്പിക്കും; എന്റെ നാമം യഹോവ എന്നു അവർ അറിയും.
