యిర్మీయా 16
൧യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് എനിക്കുണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
൨“ഈ സ്ഥലത്ത് നീ ഭാര്യയെ എടുക്കരുത്; നിനക്ക് പുത്രന്മാരും പുത്രിമാരും ജനിക്കുകയും അരുത്”.
3 ౩ ఈ స్థలంలో పుట్టే కొడుకుల గురించి కూతుళ్ళ గురించి, వాళ్ళను కనిన తల్లులను గురించి, ఈ దేశంలో వాళ్ళను కనిన తండ్రులను గురించి యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు.
൩ഈ സ്ഥലത്തു ജനിക്കുന്ന പുത്രീപുത്രന്മാരെക്കുറിച്ചും ഈ ദേശത്ത് അവരെ പ്രസവിക്കുന്ന അമ്മമാരെക്കുറിച്ചും അവർക്ക് ജന്മം നൽകുന്ന 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.”
൪“അവർ മാരകരോഗത്താൽ മരിക്കും; ആരും അവരെക്കുറിച്ചു വിലപിക്കുകയോ അവരെ കുഴിച്ചിടുകയോ ചെയ്യാതെ, അവർ നിലത്തിനു വളമായി കിടക്കും; വാളാലും ക്ഷാമത്താലും അവർ നശിച്ചുപോകും; 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.
൫യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നീ ദുഃഖഭവനത്തിൽ ചെല്ലരുത്; വിലപിക്കുവാൻ പോകരുത്; അവരോടു സഹതാപം കാണിക്കുകയും അരുത്; ഞാൻ എന്റെ സമാധാനവും ദയയും കരുണയും ഈ ജനത്തിൽനിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞു” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
6 ౬ ఈ దేశంలో గొప్పవాళ్ళు, సామాన్యులు అందరూ చస్తారు. వాళ్ళను ఎవ్వరూ పాతిపెట్టరు. వాళ్ళ గురించి ఎవరూ ఏడవరు. తమను తాము గాయపరచుకోరు. తలవెంట్రుకలు కత్తిరించుకోరు.
൬“വലിയവരും ചെറിയവരും ഈ ദേശത്തു മരിക്കും; ആരും അവരെ കുഴിച്ചിടുകയില്ല, അവർക്കുവേണ്ടി വിലപിക്കുകയോ, സ്വയം മുറിവേല്പിക്കുകയോ, മുൻകഷണ്ടിയുണ്ടാക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുകയില്ല.
7 ౭ చచ్చినవారి గురించి ప్రజలను ఓదార్చడానికి వారితో కలిసి తినే వాళ్ళెవరూ ఉండరు. ఒకరి నాన్న గానీ అమ్మ గానీ చనిపోతే కూడా ఎవరూ వారిని ఓదార్చేలా తాగడానికి ఏమీ ఇవ్వరు.
൭മരിച്ചവനെക്കുറിച്ച് വിലപിക്കുന്നവരെ ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കേണ്ടതിന് ആരും അവർക്ക് അപ്പം നുറുക്കിക്കൊടുക്കുകയില്ല; അപ്പനോ അമ്മയ്ക്കോ വേണ്ടി ആരും അവർക്ക് ആശ്വാസത്തിന്റെ പാനപാത്രം കുടിക്കുവാൻ കൊടുക്കുകയുമില്ല.
൮അവരോടുകൂടി ഇരുന്നു ഭക്ഷിക്കുവാനും പാനം ചെയ്യുവാനും നീ വിരുന്നുവീട്ടിലേക്കു പോകരുത്”.
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.”
൯യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നിങ്ങൾക്ക് കാണത്തക്കവിധം 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.
൧൦നീ ഈ വചനങ്ങളെല്ലാം ഈ ജനത്തോട് അറിയിക്കുമ്പോഴും ‘യഹോവ ഞങ്ങൾക്കു വിരോധമായി ഈ വലിയ അനർത്ഥം എല്ലാം കല്പിച്ചത് എന്ത്? ഞങ്ങളുടെ അകൃത്യം എന്ത്? ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയോടു ഞങ്ങൾ ചെയ്ത പാപം എന്ത്’ എന്ന് അവർ നിന്നോട് 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.
൧൧നീ അവരോടു പറയേണ്ടത്: “നിങ്ങളുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാർ എന്നെ ത്യജിച്ച് അന്യദേവന്മാരോടു ചേർന്നു അവരെ സേവിച്ചു നമസ്കരിക്കുകയും എന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് എന്റെ ന്യായപ്രമാണം അനുസരിച്ചു നടക്കാതെയിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുകകൊണ്ടു തന്നെ” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
12 ౧౨ వినండి. మీరంతా నా మాట వినకుండా మీ చెడ్డ హృదయ కాఠిన్యం ప్రకారం నడుచుకుంటున్నారు. మీరు మీ పూర్వీకుల కంటే మరి ఎక్కువ దుర్మార్గం చేశారు.
൧൨“നിങ്ങളോ നിങ്ങളുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാരെക്കാൾ അധികം ദോഷം ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു; നിങ്ങൾ ഓരോരുത്തനും എന്റെ വാക്കു കേൾക്കാതെ അവനവന്റെ ദുഷ്ടഹൃദയത്തിലെ ശാഠ്യം അനുസരിച്ചുനടക്കുന്നു.
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.”
൧൩അതുകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ ഈ ദേശത്തുനിന്ന്, നിങ്ങളും നിങ്ങളുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാരും അറിയാത്ത ഒരു ദേശത്തേക്ക് നീക്കിക്കളയും; അവിടെ നിങ്ങൾ രാവും പകലും അന്യദേവന്മാരെ സേവിക്കും; അവിടെ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് കൃപ കാണിക്കുകയുമില്ല.
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.
൧൪ആകയാൽ, ‘യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളെ ഈജിപ്തിൽനിന്നു കൊണ്ടുവന്ന യഹോവയാണ’ എന്നൊരിക്കലും പറയാതെ,
15 ౧౫ కానీ ‘ఉత్తరదేశంలో నుంచి ఆయన వారిని తరిమిన దేశాలన్నిటిలో నుంచి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను రప్పించిన యెహోవా జీవం తోడు’ అని ప్రజలు ప్రమాణం చేస్తారు.”
൧൫‘യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളെ വടക്കെദേശത്തുനിന്നും താൻ അവരെ നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞിരുന്ന സകലദേശങ്ങളിൽനിന്നും കൊണ്ടുവന്ന യഹോവയാണ’ എന്നു പറയുന്ന കാലം വരും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്; ഞാൻ അവരുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാർക്കു കൊടുത്ത ദേശത്തേക്ക് 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.
൧൬ഇതാ, ഞാൻ അനേകം മീൻപിടുത്തക്കാരെ വരുത്തും; അവർ അവരെ പിടിക്കും; അതിന്‍റെശേഷം ഞാൻ അനേകം നായാട്ടുകാരെ വരുത്തും; അവർ അവരെ എല്ലാമലയിൽനിന്നും എല്ലാകുന്നിൽനിന്നും പാറപ്പിളർപ്പുകളിൽനിന്നും വേട്ടയാടിപ്പിടിക്കും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
17 ౧౭ ఎందుకంటే వారు వెళ్ళిన దారులన్నిటి మీద నా దృష్టి ఉంది. ఏదీ నాకు కనిపించకుండా పోలేదు. వారి దోషం నా కళ్ళకు తేటతెల్లమే.
൧൭“എന്റെ ദൃഷ്ടി അവരുടെ എല്ലാ വഴികളിലും ഇരിക്കുന്നു; അവ എനിക്ക് മറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നില്ല; അവരുടെ അകൃത്യം എന്റെ കണ്ണിന് മറവായിരിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.
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.”
൧൮അവർ എന്റെ ദേശത്തെ അവരുടെ മ്ലേച്ഛവിഗ്രഹങ്ങളാൽ മലിനമാക്കി, എന്റെ അവകാശത്തെ മലിനവും മ്ളേച്ഛവുമായ ശവങ്ങളാൽ നിറച്ചിരിക്കുകയാൽ, ഞാൻ ആദ്യം തന്നെ അവരുടെ അകൃത്യത്തിനും അവരുടെ പാപത്തിനും ഇരട്ടി 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.
൧൯എന്റെ ബലവും എന്റെ കോട്ടയും കഷ്ടകാലത്ത് എന്റെ ശരണവുമായ യഹോവേ, ജാതികൾ ഭൂമിയുടെ അറ്റങ്ങളിൽനിന്നു അങ്ങയുടെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നു; ‘ഞങ്ങളുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാർക്ക് അവകാശമായിരുന്നത്, വ്യാജമായ മിഥ്യാമൂർത്തികളത്രേ; അവയിൽ പ്രയോജനമുള്ളത് ഒന്നുമില്ല’ എന്ന് പറയും.
൨൦തനിക്ക് ദേവന്മാരെ ഉണ്ടാക്കുവാൻ മനുഷ്യന് കഴിയുമോ? എന്നാൽ അവ ദേവന്മാരല്ല.
21 ౨౧ కాబట్టి “నా పేరు యెహోవా” అని వారు తెలుసుకునేలా నేను ఈసారి వారికి నేర్పిస్తాను. నా బలం, నా శౌర్యం ఎంతటివో వారికి తెలియజేస్తాను.
൨൧“ആകയാൽ ഈ ഒരു പ്രാവശ്യം ഞാൻ അവരെ പഠിപ്പിക്കും; എന്റെ കയ്യും എന്റെ ബലവും ഞാൻ അവരെ അറിയിക്കും; എന്റെ നാമം യഹോവ എന്ന് അവർ അറിയും”.
