యిర్మీయా 29
1 ౧ యెరూషలేము నుంచి నెబుకద్నెజరు బబులోనుకు చెరపట్టి తీసుకెళ్ళిన వాళ్ళలో ఉన్న యాజకులకూ, ప్రవక్తలకూ, ప్రజలందరికీ ప్రవక్త అయిన యిర్మీయా యెరూషలేము నుంచి పంపించిన వ్రాత చుట్ట లోని మాటలు ఇవి.
യെഖൊന്യാരാജാവും രാജമാതാവും ഷണ്ഡന്മാരും യെഹൂദയിലും യെരൂശലേമിലും ഉള്ള പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരും ശില്പികളും കൊല്ലന്മാരും യെരൂശലേം വിട്ടു പോയശേഷം,
2 ౨ రాజైన యెకొన్యా, రాజమాత, ఇంకా యూదాలో, యెరూషలేములో ఉన్న ఉన్నతాధికారులూ, శిల్పకారులూ, కంసాలులూ, యెరూషలేము నుంచి వెళ్ళిపోయిన తరువాత ఇది జరిగింది.
യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ ബദ്ധന്മാരുടെ മൂപ്പന്മാരിൽ ശേഷിപ്പുള്ളവൎക്കും പുരോഹിതന്മാൎക്കും പ്രവാചകന്മാൎക്കും നെബൂഖദ്നേസർ യെരൂശലേമിൽ നിന്നു ബാബേലിലേക്കു പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുപോയിരുന്ന സകലജനത്തിന്നും
3 ౩ అతడు ఈ పత్రాన్ని యూదా రాజైన సిద్కియా పంపిన షాఫాను కొడుకు ఎల్యాశా, హిల్కీయా కొడుకు గెమర్యాల చేత బబులోను రాజైన నెబుకద్నెజరుకు పంపాడు.
യെഹൂദാരാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവു ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരിന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ബാബേലിലേക്കു അയച്ച ശാഫാന്റെ മകനായ എലാസയുടെയും ഹില്ക്കീയാവിന്റെ മകനായ ഗെമൎയ്യാവിന്റെയും കൈവശം യെരൂശലേമിൽനിന്നു കൊടുത്തയച്ചു ലേഖനത്തിലെ വിവരം എന്തെന്നാൽ:
4 ౪ అందులో ఇలా ఉంది “ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడూ, సేనల ప్రభువూ అయిన యెహోవా తన ఉద్దేశం చొప్పున బబులోనుకు బందీలుగా వెళ్ళిన వాళ్ళందరికీ ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు,
യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ, താൻ യെരൂശലേമിൽനിന്നു ബാബേലിലേക്കു പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുപോകുമാറാക്കിയ സകലബദ്ധന്മാരോടും ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു:
നിങ്ങൾ വീടുകളെ പണിതു പാൎപ്പിൻ; തോട്ടങ്ങളെ ഉണ്ടാക്കി ഫലം അനുഭവിപ്പിൻ.
6 ౬ పెళ్ళిళ్ళు చేసుకుని కొడుకులనూ కూతుళ్ళనూ కనండి. అక్కడ మీరు తక్కువ సంఖ్యలో ఉండకుండా అభివృద్ధి పొందడానికి మీ కొడుకులకూ, కూతుళ్ళకూ పెళ్ళిళ్ళు చేసి వాళ్ళను కొడుకులూ కూతుళ్ళూ కననివ్వండి.
ഭാൎയ്യമാരെ പരിഗ്രഹിച്ചു പുത്രന്മാരെയും പുത്രിമാരെയും ജനിപ്പിപ്പിൻ; നിങ്ങൾ അവിടെ കുറഞ്ഞുപോകാതെ പെരുകേണ്ടതിന്നു പുത്രന്മാൎക്കു ഭാൎയ്യമാരെ എടുക്കയും പുത്രിമാരെ പുരുഷന്മാൎക്കു കൊടുക്കയും ചെയ്‌വിൻ; അവരും പുത്രന്മാരെയും പുത്രിമാരെയും ജനിപ്പിക്കട്ടെ.
7 ౭ నేను మిమ్మల్ని బందీలుగా తీసుకెళ్ళిన పట్టణం క్షేమం కోరి దాని కోసం యెహోవాకు ప్రార్థన చేయండి. ఎందుకంటే, దానికి క్షేమం కలిగితే మీకు క్షేమం కలుగుతుంది.’
ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ ബദ്ധന്മാരായി കൊണ്ടുപോകുമാറാക്കിയ പട്ടണത്തിന്റെ നന്മ അന്വേഷിച്ചു അതിന്നുവേണ്ടി യഹോവയോടു പ്രാൎത്ഥിപ്പിൻ; അതിന്നു നന്മ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്കും നന്മ ഉണ്ടാകും.
8 ౮ ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడూ, సేనల ప్రభువూ అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, ‘మీ మధ్య ఉన్న ప్రవక్తలు, మంత్రగాళ్ళు మిమ్మల్ని మోసం చెయ్యనివ్వకుండా చూసుకోండి. మీలో కలలు కనే వాళ్ళు చెప్పే మాటలు వినకండి.
യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയിലുള്ള നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രവാചകന്മാരും പ്രശ്നക്കാരും നിങ്ങളെ ചതിക്കരുതു; നിങ്ങൾ കാണുന്ന സ്വപ്നങ്ങളെ കൂട്ടാക്കുകയും അരുതു.
അവർ എന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ നിങ്ങളോടു ഭോഷ്കു പ്രവചിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ അവരെ അയച്ചിട്ടില്ല എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
10 ౧౦ ఎందుకంటే యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, ‘బబులోను మిమ్మల్ని డెబ్భై సంవత్సరాలు పాలించిన తరువాత, నేను మీకు సాయం చేసి, నేను మీకోసం పలికిన శుభ వచనం నెరవేర్చి, ఈ స్థలానికి మిమ్మల్ని తిరిగి తీసుకొస్తాను.
യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ബാബേലിലെ എഴുപതു സംവത്സരം കഴിഞ്ഞശേഷമേ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ സന്ദൎശിച്ചു ഈ സ്ഥലത്തേക്കു മടക്കിവരുത്തുമെന്നു നിങ്ങളോടുള്ള എന്റെ വചനം ഞാൻ നിവൎത്തിക്കയുള്ളു.
11 ౧౧ ఎందుకంటే, మీ కోసం నేను ఉద్దేశించిన ప్రణాళికలు నాకే తెలుసు,’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు. ‘అవి మీకు ఒక భవిష్యత్తునూ, నిరీక్షణనూ కలిగించే సమాధానకరమైన ప్రణాళికలే. అవి హానికరమైనవి కావు.
നിങ്ങൾ പ്രത്യാശിക്കുന്ന ശുഭഭാവി വരുവാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ചു നിരൂപിക്കുന്ന നിരൂപണങ്ങൾ ഇന്നവ എന്നു ഞാൻ അറിയുന്നു; അവ തിന്മെക്കല്ല നന്മെക്കത്രേയുള്ള നിരൂപണങ്ങൾ എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
നിങ്ങൾ എന്നോടു അപേക്ഷിച്ചു എന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽവന്നു പ്രാൎത്ഥിക്കയും ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രാൎത്ഥന കേൾക്കയും ചെയ്യും
നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ അന്വേഷിക്കും; പൂൎണ്ണഹൃദയത്തോടെ അന്വേഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ കണ്ടെത്തും.
14 ౧౪ అప్పుడు నేను మీకు దొరుకుతాను,’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు. ‘తరువాత, నేను మిమ్మల్ని నిర్బంధంలో నుంచి రప్పించి, మిమ్మల్ని చెదరగొట్టిన దేశాల్లోనుంచి, స్థలాల్లోనుంచి మిమ్మల్ని పోగు చేస్తాను.’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు. ‘ఎక్కడినుంచి మిమ్మల్ని బందీలుగా పంపానో, అక్కడికే మిమ్మల్ని మళ్ళీ తీసుకొస్తాను,’
നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ കണ്ടെത്തുവാൻ ഞാൻ ഇടയാക്കും എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രവാസം മാറ്റും; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്ന സകലജാതികളിൽനിന്നും എല്ലായിടങ്ങളിലുംനിന്നും നിങ്ങളെ ശേഖരിച്ചു ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ വിട്ടുപോകുമാറാക്കിയ സ്ഥലത്തേക്കു തന്നേ മടക്കിവരുത്തും എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
യഹോവ ഞങ്ങൾക്കു ബാബേലിൽ പ്രവാചകന്മാരെ എഴുന്നേല്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു നിങ്ങൾ പറയുന്നുവല്ലോ.
16 ౧౬ దావీదు సింహాసనం మీద కూర్చున్న రాజుతో, మీతోబాటు బందీలుగా వెళ్ళకుండా ఈ పట్టణంలో నివాసం ఉన్న మీ సహోదరులతో, ప్రజలందరితో యెహోవా ఈ మాట అంటున్నాడు,
ദാവീദിന്റെ സിംഹാസനത്തിൽ ഇരിക്കുന്ന രാജാവിനെക്കുറിച്ചും ഈ നഗരത്തിൽ പാൎക്കുന്ന സകലജനത്തേയുംകുറിച്ചും നിങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ പ്രവാസത്തിലേക്കു വരാത്ത നിങ്ങളുടെ സഹോദരന്മാരെക്കുറിച്ചും യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു.
17 ౧౭ సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, ‘నేను వాళ్ళ మీదికి ఖడ్గం, కరువు, తెగులు పంపబోతున్నాను. తినడానికి వీలు లేని కుళ్ళిపోయిన అంజూరు పళ్ళలా వాళ్ళను చేస్తాను.
അതേ, സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഇതാ, ഞാൻ അവൎക്കു വാളും ക്ഷമവും മഹാമാരിയും അയച്ചു, എത്രയും ആകാത്തതും തിന്നുകൂടാതവണ്ണം ചീത്തയും ആയ അത്തിപ്പഴത്തിന്നു അവരെ സമമാക്കും.
18 ౧౮ తరువాత ఖడ్గంతో, కరువుతో, తెగులుతో నేను వాళ్ళను తరుముతాను. భూమి మీద ఉన్న రాజ్యాలన్నిటి దృష్టిలో వాళ్లను ఒక అసహ్యంగా చేస్తాను. నేను వాళ్ళను చెదరగొట్టిన దేశాల్లో వాళ్ళను శాపానికీ, తృణీకారానికీ, ఎగతాళికీ ప్రతీకగా చేస్తాను.
ഞാൻ അവരെ വാൾകൊണ്ടും ക്ഷാമംകൊണ്ടും മഹാമാരികൊണ്ടും വേട്ടയാടി ഭൂതലത്തിലെ സകലരാജ്യങ്ങൾക്കും ഭയഹേതുവും ഞാൻ അവരെ നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞ സകലജാതികളുടെയും ഇടയിൽ ഒരു ശാപവാക്യവും സ്തംഭനഹേതുവും പരിഹാസവിഷയവും നിന്ദയും ആക്കും.
19 ౧౯ ఎందుకంటే వాళ్ళు నా మాట వినలేదు,’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు. ‘నా సేవకులైన ప్రవక్తల ద్వారా నా వాక్కు పదేపదే పంపాను. కాని, మీరు వినలేదు’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.”
പ്രവാചകന്മാരായ എന്റെ ദാസന്മാർമുഖാന്തരം ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞയച്ച വചനങ്ങളെ അവർ കേൾക്കായ്കകൊണ്ടു തന്നേ എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു; ഞാൻ ഇടവിടാതെ അവരെ അയച്ചിട്ടും നിങ്ങൾ കേട്ടില്ല എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
അതുകൊണ്ടു ഞാൻ യെരൂശലേമിൽനിന്നു ബാബേലിലേക്കു അയച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന സകല പ്രവാസികളുമായുള്ളോരേ, നിങ്ങൾ യഹോവയുടെ വചനം കേൾപ്പിൻ!
21 ౨౧ నా పేరును బట్టి మీకు అబద్ధ ప్రవచనాలు ప్రకటించే కోలాయా కొడుకు అహాబు గురించి, మయశేయా కొడుకు సిద్కియా గురించి, ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడూ, సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, చూడండి, బబులోను రాజైన నెబుకద్నెజరు చేతికి వాళ్ళను అప్పగించబోతున్నాను. మీ కళ్ళ ఎదుట అతడు వాళ్ళను చంపుతాడు.
എന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ നിങ്ങളോടു ഭോഷ്കു പ്രവചിക്കുന്ന കോലായാവിന്റെ മകനായ ആഹാബിനെക്കുറിച്ചും, മയസേയാവിന്റെ മകനായ സിദെക്കിയാവെക്കുറിച്ചും, യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഞാൻ അവരെ ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരിന്റെ കയ്യിൽ ഏല്പിക്കും; നിങ്ങൾ കാൺകെ അവൻ അവരെ കൊന്നുകളയും.
22 ౨౨ అప్పుడు వీళ్ళ గురించి బబులోనులో ఉన్న వాళ్ళందరూ శాపవచనాలు పలుకుతారు. ‘బబులోను రాజు అగ్నిలో కాల్పించిన సిద్కియాలాగా, అహాబులాగా యెహోవా నిన్ను చేస్తాడు గాక,’ అని శాపం పెడతారు.
ബാബേൽരാജാവു തീയിൽ ഇട്ടു ചുട്ടുകളഞ്ഞ സിദെക്കീയാവെപ്പോലെയും ആഹാബിനെപ്പോലെയും യഹോവ നിന്നെ ആക്കട്ടെ എന്നു ബാബേലിലുള്ള യെഹൂദാപ്രവാസിളെല്ലാം ഒരു ശാപവാക്യം അവരെച്ചൊല്ലിപറയും.
23 ౨౩ ఇదంతా ఎందుకు జరుగుతుందంటే, వాళ్ళు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల్లో దుర్మార్గం జరిగిస్తూ, తమ పొరుగువాళ్ళ భార్యలతో వ్యభిచారం చేస్తూ, నేను వాళ్లకు ప్రకటించని అబద్ధపు మాటలు నా పేరట ప్రకటించారు. నేనే ఈ సంగతి తెలుసుకున్నాను, నేనే దానికి సాక్షం,” ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
അവർ യിസ്രായേലിൽ വഷളത്വം പ്രവൎത്തിച്ചു തങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടുകാരുടെ ഭാൎയ്യമാരോടു വ്യഭിചാരം ചെയ്കയും ഞാൻ അവരോടു കല്പിച്ചിട്ടില്ലാത്ത വചനം വ്യാജമായി എന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ പ്രസ്താവിക്കയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞാൻ അതു അറിയുന്നു, സാക്ഷിയും ആകുന്നു എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
നെഹെലാമ്യനായ ശെമയ്യാവോടു നീ പറയേണ്ടതു:
25 ౨౫ ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడూ, సేనల ప్రభువు అయిన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, యెరూషలేములో ఉన్న ప్రజలందరికీ, యాజకుడైన మయశేయా కొడుకు జెఫన్యాకూ, యాజకులకందరికీ, నీ సొంత పేరుతో ఉత్తరాలు పంపి,
യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: നീ യെരൂശലേമിലെ സകലജനത്തിന്നും മയസേയാവിന്റെ മകനായ സെഫന്യാപുരോഹിതന്നും സകലപുരോഹിതന്മാൎക്കും നിന്റെ പേരുവെച്ചു അയച്ച എഴുത്തുകളിൽ:
26 ౨౬ ‘యాజకుడైన యెహోయాదాకు బదులుగా యెహోవా మందిర విషయాల్లో విచారణకర్త అయిన యాజకునిగా యెహోవా నిన్ను నియమించాడు. వెర్రివాళ్లై తమను తాము ప్రవక్తలుగా ఏర్పరచుకున్న వాళ్ళను నువ్వు సంకెళ్లతో బంధించి బొండలో బిగించాలి’ అన్నావు.
നിങ്ങൾ യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിൽ ഭ്രാന്തുപിടിച്ചു പ്രവചിക്കുന്ന എതു മനുഷ്യനെയും പിടിച്ചു ആമത്തിലും വിലങ്ങിലും ഇടേണ്ടതിന്നു യഹോവ നിന്നെ യഹോയാദാപുരോഹിതന്നു പകരം പുരോഹിതനാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
27 ౨౭ ‘కాబట్టి ఇప్పుడు, నీకు ప్రత్యర్ధిగా, తనను తాను ప్రవక్తగా చేసుకున్న అనాతోతీయుడైన యిర్మీయాను నువ్వెందుకు చీవాట్లు పెట్టలేదు?
ആകയാൽ നിങ്ങളോടു പ്രവചിക്കുന്ന അനാഥോത്തുകാരനായ യിരെമ്യാവെ നീ ശാസിക്കാതെ ഇരിക്കുന്നതെന്തു?
28 ౨౮ మీరు ఇక్కడ చాలాకాలం ఉంటారు. ఇళ్ళు కట్టుకుని వాటిలో నివాసం ఉండండి, తోటలు నాటి వాటి ఫలాలు తినండి,’ అని బబులోనులో ఉన్న మాకు అతడు వర్తమానం పంపాడు,”
അതുകൊണ്ടല്ലോ അവൻ ബാബേലിൽ ഞങ്ങൾക്കു ആളയച്ചു: ഈ പ്രവാസം ദീൎഘം ആയിരിക്കും; നിങ്ങൾ വീടുകളെ പണിതു പാൎപ്പിൻ; തോട്ടങ്ങളെ ഉണ്ടാക്കി ഫലം അനുഭവിപ്പിൻ എന്നു പറയിച്ചതു? എന്നു പ്രസ്താവിച്ചുവല്ലോ.
ഈ എഴുത്തു സെഫന്യാപുരോഹിതൻ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ കേൾക്കെ വായിച്ചിരുന്നു.
അപ്പോൾ യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു യിരെമ്യാവിന്നുണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
31 ౩౧ “బందీలుగా ఉన్న వాళ్ళందరికీ నువ్వు కబురంపి ఇలా చెప్పు, ‘యెహోవా నెహెలామీయుడైన షెమయా గురించి ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, నేను అతణ్ణి పంపకపోయినా, షెమయా మీకు ప్రవచించి మీరు అబద్ధపు మాటలు నమ్మేలా చేశాడు కాబట్టి,
നീ സകലപ്രവാസികൾക്കും ആളയച്ചു, നെഹെലാമ്യനായ ശെമയ്യാവെക്കുറിച്ചു പറയിക്കേണ്ടതു; യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ശെമയ്യാവെ ഞാൻ അയക്കാതെ ഇരുന്നിട്ടും അവൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പ്രവചിച്ചു നിങ്ങളെ ഭോഷ്കിൽ ആശ്രയിക്കുമാറാക്കിയതുകൊണ്ടു
32 ౩౨ నెహెలామీయుడైన షెమయా యెహోవాకు వ్యతిరేకంగా అబద్ధం ప్రకటించాడు కాబట్టి అతన్నీ, అతని సంతానాన్నీ నేను శిక్షించబోతున్నాను. ఈ ప్రజల్లో కాపురం ఉండేవాడు ఒక్కడూ అతనికి మిగిలి ఉండడు. నా ప్రజలకు నేను చేసే మేలు అతడు చూడడు.’ ఇది యెహోవా వాక్కు.”
യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ഞാൻ നെഹെലാമ്യനായ ശെമയ്യാവെയും അവന്റെ സന്തതിയെയും സന്ദൎശിക്കും; ഈ ജനത്തിന്റെ മദ്ധ്യേ പാൎപ്പാൻ അവന്നു ആരും ഉണ്ടാകയില്ല; എന്റെ ജനത്തിന്നു ഞാൻ വരുത്തുവാനിരിക്കുന്ന നന്മ അവൻ അനുഭവിക്കയുമില്ല; അവൻ യഹോവെക്കു വിരോധമായി ദ്രോഹം സംസാരിച്ചുവല്ലോ എന്നു യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു.
