యిర్మీయా 28
1 ౧ యూదా రాజు సిద్కియా పరిపాలన మొదట్లో నాలుగో సంవత్సరం అయిదో నెలలో గిబియోనువాడు, అజ్జూరు ప్రవక్త కొడుకు హనన్యా యాజకుల ఎదుట, ప్రజలందరి ఎదుట యెహోవా మందిరంలో నాతో ఇలా అన్నాడు,
൧ആ ആണ്ടിൽ, യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവിന്റെ വാഴ്ചയുടെ ആരംഭത്തിൽ, നാലാം ആണ്ടിൽ അഞ്ചാം മാസം, ഗിബെയോന്യനായ അസ്സൂരിന്റെ മകൻ ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകൻ യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിൽ പുരോഹിതന്മാരുടെയും സർവ്വജനത്തിന്റെയും മുമ്പിൽവച്ച് എന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
൨“യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ നുകം ഒടിച്ചുകളയുന്നു.
3 ౩ రెండేళ్లలో బబులోను రాజు నెబుకద్నెజరు ఈ స్థలంలో నుంచి బబులోనుకు తీసుకుపోయిన యెహోవా మందిరంలోని పాత్రలన్నీ ఇక్కడికి మళ్ళీ తెప్పిస్తాను.
൩ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസർ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തുനിന്ന് എടുത്ത് ബാബേലിലേക്കു കൊണ്ടുപോയിരിക്കുന്ന യഹോവയുടെ ആലയംവക ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ സകലവും ഞാൻ രണ്ടു സംവത്സരത്തിനകം ഈ സ്ഥലത്തേക്ക് മടക്കിവരുത്തും;
4 ౪ బబులోను రాజు కాడిని విరగగొట్టి యెహోయాకీము కొడుకు యూదా రాజు యెకొన్యాను, బబులోనుకు బందీలుగా తీసుకుపోయిన యూదులందరినీ ఈ స్థలానికి తిరిగి రప్పిస్తాను.’ ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.”
൪യെഹോയാക്കീമിന്റെ മകൻ യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ യെഖൊന്യാവിനെയും ബാബേലിലേക്കു പോയ സകല യെഹൂദാബദ്ധന്മാരെയും ഞാൻ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തേക്ക് മടക്കിവരുത്തും; ഞാൻ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ നുകം ഒടിച്ചുകളയും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
5 ౫ అప్పుడు ప్రవక్త అయిన యిర్మీయా యాజకుల ఎదుట, యెహోవా మందిరంలో నిలబడి ఉన్న ప్రజలందరి ఎదుట హనన్యా ప్రవక్తతో ఇలా అన్నాడు,
൫അപ്പോൾ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ പുരോഹിതന്മാരും യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിൽ നില്ക്കുന്ന സകലജനവും കേൾക്കെ ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകനോടു പറഞ്ഞത്:
6 ౬ “యెహోవా దీనిని చేస్తాడు గాక! యెహోవా మందిరపు పాత్రలన్నీ బందీలుగా తీసుకుపోయిన వారందరినీ యెహోవా బబులోనులో నుంచి ఈ స్థలానికి తెప్పించి నువ్వు ప్రకటించిన మాటలను నెరవేరుస్తాడు గాక!
൬“ആമേൻ, യഹോവ അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യുമാറാകട്ടെ; യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിലെ ഉപകരണങ്ങളും സകലബദ്ധന്മാരെയും അവൻ ബാബേലിൽനിന്നു ഈ സ്ഥലത്തേക്ക് മടക്കിവരുത്തുമെന്ന് നീ പ്രവചിച്ച വാക്കുകളെ യഹോവ നിവർത്തിക്കുമാറാകട്ടെ!
൭എങ്കിലും ഞാൻ നിന്നോടും സകലജനത്തോടും പറയുന്ന ഈ വചനം കേട്ടുകൊള്ളുക.
8 ౮ నాకూ నీకూ ముందున్న ప్రవక్తలు, అనేక దేశాలకూ గొప్ప రాజ్యాలకూ వ్యతిరేకంగా యుద్ధాలు జరుగుతాయనీ కీడు సంభవిస్తుందనీ అంటురోగాలు వస్తాయనీ ఎప్పటినుంచో ప్రవచిస్తూ ఉన్నారు.
൮എനിക്കും നിനക്കും മുമ്പ് പണ്ടേയുണ്ടായിരുന്ന പ്രവാചകന്മാർ, അനേകം ദേശങ്ങൾക്കും വലിയ രാജ്യങ്ങൾക്കും വിരോധമായി യുദ്ധവും അനർത്ഥവും മഹാമാരിയും പ്രവചിച്ചു.
9 ౯ అయితే క్షేమం కలుగుతుందని ప్రకటించే ప్రవక్త మాట నెరవేరితే అతన్ని నిజంగా యెహోవాయే పంపాడని తెలుసుకోవచ్చు,” అని యిర్మీయా ప్రవక్త చెప్పాడు.
൯സമാധാനം പ്രവചിക്കുന്ന പ്രവാചകന്റെ വചനം നിവൃത്തിയാകുമ്പോൾ, അവൻ യഥാർഥത്തിൽ യഹോവ അയച്ച പ്രവാചകൻ എന്ന് തെളിയും” എന്ന് യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ പറഞ്ഞു;
൧൦അപ്പോൾ ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകൻ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകന്റെ കഴുത്തിൽനിന്ന് ആ നുകം എടുത്ത് ഒടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞിട്ട്,
11 ౧౧ ప్రజలందరి ఎదుట హనన్యా ఇలా అన్నాడు. “యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు, ‘రెండేళ్ళలో నేను బబులోను రాజు నెబుకద్నెజరు కాడిని రాజ్యాలన్నిటి మెడమీద నుంచి తొలగించి దానిని విరిచివేస్తాను.’” అప్పుడు యిర్మీయా ప్రవక్త తన దారిన వెళ్లిపోయాడు.
൧൧സകലജനവും കേൾക്കെ; ‘ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ രണ്ടു സംവത്സരത്തിനകം ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരിന്റെ നുകം സകലജനതകളുടെയും കഴുത്തിൽനിന്ന് എടുത്ത് ഒടിച്ചുകളയും’ എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ തന്റെ വഴിക്കുപോയി.
12 ౧౨ హనన్యా, యిర్మీయా మెడ మీద ఉన్న కాడిని విరిచిన తరువాత యెహోవా దగ్గర నుంచి ఈ సందేశం యిర్మీయాకు వచ్చింది.
൧൨ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകൻ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകന്റെ കഴുത്തിൽനിന്ന് നുകം എടുത്ത് ഒടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞശേഷം യിരെമ്യാവിന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടുണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
13 ౧౩ “నువ్వు పోయి హనన్యాతో ఇలా చెప్పు, ‘యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు, నువ్వు కొయ్య కాడిని విరిచావు గదా! దానికి బదులు ఇనుప కాడిని నేను చేయిస్తాను.’
൧൩നീ ചെന്ന് ഹനന്യാവിനോടു പറയേണ്ടത്: “യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നീ മരംകൊണ്ടുള്ള നുകം ഒടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞു; അതിന് പകരം നീ ഇരിമ്പുകൊണ്ടുള്ള ഒരു നുകം ഉണ്ടാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു”.
14 ౧౪ ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడు సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు. ‘ఈ ప్రజలంతా బబులోను రాజు నెబుకద్నెజరుకు సేవ చేయాలని వారి మెడ మీద ఇనుప కాడి ఉంచాను. కాబట్టి వాళ్ళు అతనికి సేవ చేస్తారు. భూజంతువులను కూడా నేను అతనికి అప్పగించాను.’”
൧൪എങ്ങനെയെന്നാൽ യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു; “ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരിനെ സേവിക്കേണ്ടതിന് ഇരിമ്പുകൊണ്ടുള്ള ഒരു നുകം ഞാൻ ഈ സകലജനതകളുടെയും കഴുത്തിൽ വച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അവർ അവനെ സേവിക്കേണ്ടിവരും; വയലിലെ മൃഗങ്ങളെയും ഞാൻ അവന് കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു”.
15 ౧౫ అప్పుడు యిర్మీయా ప్రవక్త, హనన్యాతో ఇలా అన్నాడు. “హనన్యా, విను. యెహోవా నిన్ను పంపలేదు, ఈ ప్రజల చేత అబద్ధాలను నమ్మించావు.
൧൫പിന്നെ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകനോട്: “ഹനന്യാവേ, കേൾക്കുക! യഹോവ നിന്നെ അയച്ചിട്ടില്ല; നീ ഈ ജനത്തെ വ്യാജത്തിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുമാറാക്കുന്നു”.
16 ౧౬ కాబట్టి యెహోవా ఈ మాట చెబుతున్నాడు, ‘నేను నిన్ను భూమి మీద లేకుండా చేయబోతున్నాను. యెహోవా మీద నమ్మకం ఉంచకుండా చేయడానికి నువ్వు ప్రజలను ప్రేరేపించావు. కాబట్టి ఈ సంవత్సరమే నువ్వు చనిపోతావు’” అని చెప్పాడు.
൧൬അതുകൊണ്ട് യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ഭൂതലത്തിൽനിന്നു നീക്കിക്കളയും; ഈ ആണ്ടിൽ നീ മരിക്കും; നീ യഹോവയ്ക്കു വിരോധമായി മത്സരം സംസാരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
൧൭അങ്ങനെ ഹനന്യാപ്രവാചകൻ ആയാണ്ടിൽ തന്നെ ഏഴാം മാസത്തിൽ മരിച്ചു.
