యిర్మీయా 34
1 ౧ బబులోను రాజైన నెబుకద్నెజరు, అతని సైన్యం అంతా, అతని అధికారం కింద ఉన్న భూరాజ్యాలు, ప్రజలు, అందరూ కలిసి యెరూషలేము మీద, దాని ప్రాంతాలన్నిటి మీద యుద్ధం చేస్తూ ఉన్నప్పుడు యెహోవా వాక్కు యిర్మీయాతో ఇలా అన్నాడు.
൧ബാബേൽരാജാവായ നെബൂഖദ്നേസരും അവന്റെ സകലസൈന്യവും അവന്റെ ആധിപത്യത്തിൻ കീഴുള്ള സകലഭൂരാജ്യങ്ങളും സകലജനതകളും യെരൂശലേമിനോടും അതിന്റെ എല്ലാപട്ടണങ്ങളോടും യുദ്ധം ചെയ്തുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ, യിരെമ്യാവിന് യഹോവയിങ്കൽ നിന്നുണ്ടായ അരുളപ്പാട് എന്തെന്നാൽ:
2 ౨ “ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడైన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, నువ్వు వెళ్లి యూదా రాజైన సిద్కియాతో ఇలా చెప్పు, ‘యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమంటే, చూడు, నేను ఈ పట్టణాన్ని బబులోను రాజు చేతికి అప్పగించబోతున్నాను. అతడు దానికి నిప్పుపెట్టి కాల్చేస్తాడు.
൨യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “നീ ചെന്ന്, യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവിനോട് പറയേണ്ടതെന്തെന്നാൽ: യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ ഈ നഗരം ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ കയ്യിൽ ഏല്പിക്കും; അവൻ അതിനെ തീ വെച്ചു ചുട്ടുകളയും.
3 ౩ నువ్వు అతని చేతిలోనుంచి తప్పించుకోలేవు, కచ్చితంగా నువ్వు అతనికి దొరికిపోతావు, నిన్ను అతని చేతికి అప్పగించడం జరుగుతుంది. బబులోను రాజును నువ్వు నీ కళ్ళతో చూస్తావు. నువ్వు బబులోను వెళ్ళినప్పుడు నువ్వు అతనితో ముఖాముఖి మాట్లాడతావు.’
൩നീ അവന്റെ കൈയിൽനിന്ന് രക്ഷപെട്ടുപോകാതെ പിടിപെട്ട് അവന്റെ കയ്യിൽ ഏല്പിക്കപ്പെടും; നീ ബാബേൽരാജാവിനെ കണ്ണിൽകണ്ണിൽ നോക്കുകയും അവൻ മുഖാമുഖമായി നിന്നോട് സംസാരിക്കുകയും നീ ബാബേലിലേക്ക് പോകേണ്ടിവരുകയും ചെയ്യും.
4 ౪ యూదా రాజువైన సిద్కియా, యెహోవా మాట విను! నీ విషయంలో యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, ‘నీకు ఖడ్గంతో చావు రాదు. ప్రశాంతంగానే చనిపోతావు.
൪എങ്കിലും യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവേ, യഹോവയുടെ വചനം കേൾക്കുക! നിന്നെക്കുറിച്ച് യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു:
5 ౫ నీకంటే ముందుగా ఉన్న పూర్వపు రాజులైన నీ పితరులను దహనం చేసినట్టు నీ శరీరాన్ని దహనం చేస్తారు.’ అప్పుడు వాళ్ళు ‘అయ్యో, ప్రభూ!’ అంటారు. నీ కోసం ఏడుస్తారు. అలా జరగాలని పలికిన వాణ్ణి నేనే. ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.”
൫“നീ വാളാൽ മരിക്കുകയില്ല; നീ സമാധാനത്തോടെ മരിക്കും; നിനക്ക് മുമ്പുണ്ടായിരുന്ന പണ്ടത്തെ രാജാക്കന്മാരായ നിന്റെ പിതാക്കന്മാർക്കു വേണ്ടി സുഗന്ധദഹനം കഴിച്ചതുപോലെ അവർ നിനക്കുവേണ്ടിയും കഴിക്കും; ‘അയ്യോ തമ്പുരാനേ!’ എന്നു ചൊല്ലി അവർ നിന്നെക്കുറിച്ച് വിലപിക്കും; അത് ഞാൻ കല്പിച്ച വചനമല്ലയോ” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
൬യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ ഈ വചനങ്ങളെല്ലാം യെരൂശലേമിൽ യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവിനോട് പ്രസ്താവിച്ചു.
7 ౭ బబులోను రాజు సైన్యం యెరూషలేము మీద, మిగతా యూదా పట్టాణాలన్నిటి మీద, ప్రాకారాలు కలిగిన పట్టణాలైన లాకీషు, అజేకా మీద దండెత్తింది.
൭അന്ന് ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ സൈന്യം യെരൂശലേമിനോടും ലാക്കീശ്, അസെക്കാ എന്നിങ്ങനെ യെഹൂദയിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിരുന്ന എല്ലാപട്ടണങ്ങളോടും യുദ്ധം ചെയ്തുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു; യെഹൂദാപട്ടണങ്ങളിൽവച്ച് ഉറപ്പുള്ള പട്ടണങ്ങളായി ശേഷിച്ചിരുന്നത് ഇവയത്രേ.
8 ౮ యూదాలో తన తోటి ఇశ్రాయేలీయుణ్ణి ఎవరూ దాస్యానికి పెట్టుకోకూడదనీ, తమ దాస్యంలో ఉన్న ఇశ్రాయేలు స్త్రీలను, పురుషులను ప్రతివాడూ విడుదల చెయ్యాలనీ,
൮ആരും തന്റെ സഹോദരനായ ഒരു യെഹൂദനെക്കൊണ്ട് അടിമവേല ചെയ്യിക്കാതെ എബ്രായദാസനെയും എബ്രായദാസിയെയും
9 ౯ రాజైన సిద్కియా యెరూషలేములో ఉన్న ప్రజలందరితో ఒప్పందం చేసిన తరువాత, యెహోవా దగ్గర నుంచి యిర్మీయాకు వచ్చిన వాక్కు.
൯സ്വതന്ത്രരായി വിട്ടയയ്ക്കേണ്ടതിന് ഒരു വിമോചനം പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കണമെന്ന് സിദെക്കീയാരാജാവ് യെരൂശലേമിലെ സകലജനത്തോടും ഒരു നിയമം ചെയ്തശേഷം, യിരെമ്യാവിന് യഹോവയിങ്കൽ നിന്നുണ്ടായ അരുളപ്പാട്.
10 ౧౦ ఆ ఒప్పందాన్నిబట్టి అందరూ తమకు దాసదాసీలుగా ఉన్న వాళ్ళను విడిపిస్తామనీ, ఇకముందు ఎవరూ వాళ్ళచేత దాస్యం చేయించుకోమనీ ఒప్పుకుని, ఆ నిబంధనలో చేరిన నాయకులు, ప్రజలు దానికి విధేయులై, వాళ్ళను విడిపించారు.
൧൦ആരും തന്റെ ദാസനെക്കൊണ്ടും ദാസിയെക്കൊണ്ടും ഇനി അടിമവേല ചെയ്യിക്കാതെ അവരെ സ്വതന്ത്രരായി വിട്ടയക്കണമെന്നുള്ള നിയമത്തിൽ ഉൾപ്പെട്ട സകലപ്രഭുക്കന്മാരും സർവ്വജനവും അത് അനുസരിച്ച് അവരെ വിട്ടയച്ചിരുന്നു.
11 ౧౧ అయితే ఆ తరువాత వాళ్ళు మనస్సు మార్చుకుని, తాము స్వతంత్రులుగా వెళ్ళనిచ్చిన దాసదాసీలను మళ్ళీ దాసులుగా, దాసీలుగా చేసుకోడానికి బలవంతంగా వాళ్ళను పట్టుకున్నారు.
൧൧പിന്നീട് അവർ അവരുടെ മനസ്സുമാറ്റി, സ്വതന്ത്രരായി വിട്ടയച്ചിരുന്ന ദാസന്മാരെയും ദാസിമാരെയും മടക്കിവരുത്തി അവരെ വീണ്ടും ദാസീദാസന്മാരാക്കിത്തീർത്തു.
൧൨അതുകൊണ്ട് യിരെമ്യാവിന് യഹോവയിങ്കൽനിന്ന് അരുളപ്പാട് ഉണ്ടായതെന്തെന്നാൽ:
13 ౧౩ “ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడైన యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, దాస్య గృహమైన ఐగుప్తుదేశం నుంచి నేను మీ పితరులను తీసుకొచ్చిన రోజు వాళ్ళతో ఈ ఒప్పందం చేశాను.
൧൩“യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാരെ അടിമവീടായ ഈജിപ്റ്റിൽ നിന്ന് കൊണ്ടുവന്ന നാളിൽ അവരോട് ഒരു നിയമം ചെയ്തു:
14 ౧౪ నీకు అమ్మకం జరిగాక, నీకు ఆరు సంవత్సరాలు దాస్యం చేసిన హెబ్రీయులైన మీ సహోదరులకు, ఏడు సంవత్సరాలు తీరిన తరువాత, విడుదల ప్రకటించాలి. కాని మీ పితరులు శ్రద్ధ వహించలేదు, నా మాట వినలేదు.”
൧൪‘തന്നെത്താൻ നിനക്ക് വില്ക്കുകയും ആറുസംവത്സരം നിന്നെ സേവിക്കുകയും ചെയ്ത എബ്രായസഹോദരനെ ഏഴാം സംവത്സരത്തിൽ വിട്ടയയ്ക്കണം; അവനെ സ്വതന്ത്രനായി നിന്റെ അടുക്കൽനിന്ന് വിട്ടയയ്ക്കണം’ എന്ന് കല്പിച്ചിരുന്നു; എങ്കിലും നിങ്ങളുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാർ എന്റെ കല്പന അനുസരിച്ചില്ല, ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചതുമില്ല.
15 ౧౫ “మీరైతే ఇప్పుడు మనస్సు మార్చుకుని, ఒక్కొక్కడు తన పొరుగువాడికి విడుదల ప్రకటిస్తామని చెప్పి, నా పేరు పెట్టిన ఈ మందిరంలో నా సన్నిధిలో ఒప్పందం చేశారు. నా దృష్టిలో ఏది మంచిదో అది చెయ్యడం మొదలుపెట్టారు.
൧൫നിങ്ങളോ ഇന്ന് തിരിഞ്ഞ് ഓരോരുത്തൻ തന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരനു വിമോചനം പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കിയതിനാൽ എനിക്ക് ഹിതമായത് പ്രവർത്തിച്ച്, എന്റെ നാമം വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ആലയത്തിൽവച്ച് എന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ ഒരു നിയമം ചെയ്തു.
16 ౧౬ కాని, తరువాత మీరు మనస్సు మార్చుకుని నా పేరును అపవిత్రం చేశారు. వాళ్ళకు ఎటు ఇష్టమైతే అటు వెళ్ళగలిగేలా వాళ్ళను స్వతంత్రులుగా వెళ్ళనిచ్చిన తరువాత, అందరూ తమ దాసదాసీలను మళ్ళీ తెచ్చుకుని, తమకు దాసులుగా, దాసీలుగా ఉండడానికి వాళ్ళను బలవంతంగా మళ్ళీ పట్టుకున్నారు.”
൧൬എങ്കിലും നിങ്ങൾ മനസ്സുമാറ്റി, എന്റെ നാമത്തെ അശുദ്ധമാക്കി ഓരോരുത്തൻ വിമോചനം കൊടുത്ത് അയച്ചിരുന്ന ദാസനെയും ദാസിയെയും തന്റെ ഇഷ്ടംപോലെ മടക്കിവരുത്തി ദാസീദാസന്മാരാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
17 ౧౭ కాబట్టి యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “ఒక్కొక్కడు తన సహోదరులకూ, తన పొరుగువారికీ విడుదల ప్రకటించాలని నేను చెప్పిన మాట మీరు వినలేదు. కాబట్టి చూడండి, నేను మీకు విడుదల ప్రకటించబోతున్నాను. అది ఖడ్గంతో, తెగులుతో, కరువుతో మీరు నాశనం అవ్వడానికే నేను ప్రకటించే విడుదల. భూమి మీద ఉన్న ప్రతి రాజ్యాన్ని బట్టి మీరు గడగడా వణికేలా చేస్తాను.
൧൭അതുകൊണ്ട് യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഓരോരുത്തൻ താന്താന്റെ സഹോദരനും കൂട്ടുകാരനും വിമോചനം പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കുവാൻ തക്കവിധം നിങ്ങൾ എന്റെ വാക്കു കേട്ടില്ലല്ലോ; ഇതാ, ഞാൻ ഒരു വിമോചനം പ്രസിദ്ധമാക്കുന്നു; അത് വാളിനും മഹാമാരിക്കും ക്ഷാമത്തിനുമത്രേ; ഭൂമിയിലെ സകലരാജ്യങ്ങളിലും ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ ഭീതിവിഷയമാക്കിത്തീർക്കും എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്”.
18 ౧౮ నా సన్నిధిలో తాము చేసిన ఒప్పందపు మాటలు నెరవేర్చకుండా దాన్ని అతిక్రమించిన వాళ్ళ విషయం పట్టించుకుంటాను. వాళ్ళు ఒక దున్నపోతును రెండు భాగాలుగా కోసి వాటి మధ్య నడిచేవాళ్ళు.
൧൮“കാളക്കുട്ടിയെ രണ്ടായിപിളർന്ന് അതിന്റെ പിളർപ്പുകളുടെ നടുവെ കടന്നുകൊണ്ട് എന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ ചെയ്ത നിയമത്തിലെ സംഗതികൾ നിവർത്തിക്കാതെ എന്റെ നിയമം ലംഘിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നവരെ,
19 ౧౯ తరువాత యూదా నాయకులు, యెరూషలేము నాయకులు, నపుంసకులు, యాజకులు, దేశంలో ఉన్న ప్రజలందరూ ఆ దున్నపోతు రెండు భాగాల మధ్య నడిచేవాళ్ళు. ఆ దున్నపోతుకు చేసినట్టు నేను వాళ్ళకు చేస్తాను.
൧൯കാളക്കുട്ടിയുടെ പിളർപ്പുകളുടെ നടുവെ കടന്നുപോയ യെഹൂദാപ്രഭുക്കന്മാരെയും യെരൂശലേംപ്രഭുക്കന്മാരെയും ഷണ്ഡന്മാരെയും പുരോഹിതന്മാരെയും ദേശത്തിലെ സകലജനത്തെയും തന്നെ, ഞാൻ ഏല്പിക്കും.
20 ౨౦ వాళ్ళ ప్రాణం తియ్యాలని చూసే శత్రువుల చేతికి వాళ్ళను అప్పగిస్తాను. వాళ్ళ శవాలు ఆకాశపక్షులకు, భూమృగాలకు ఆహారంగా ఉంటాయి.
൨൦അവരുടെ ശത്രുക്കളുടെ കൈയിലും അവർക്ക് പ്രാണഹാനി വരുത്തുവാൻ നോക്കുന്നവരുടെ കൈയിലും ഞാൻ അവരെ ഏല്പിക്കും; അവരുടെ ശവങ്ങൾ ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികൾക്കും ഭൂമിയിലെ മൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ഇരയായിത്തീരും.
21 ౨౧ యూదా రాజైన సిద్కియాను, అతని నాయకులను, వాళ్ళ ప్రాణం తియ్యాలని చూసే వాళ్ళ శత్రువుల చేతికి, మీ మీదకు లేచిన బబులోను రాజు సైన్యం చేతికి అప్పగిస్తాను.”
൨൧യെഹൂദാ രാജാവായ സിദെക്കീയാവിനെയും അവന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരെയും ഞാൻ അവരുടെ ശത്രുക്കളുടെ കൈയിലും അവർക്ക് പ്രാണഹാനി വരുത്തുവാൻ നോക്കുന്നവരുടെ കൈയിലും നിങ്ങളെ വിട്ടുപോയിരിക്കുന്ന ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ സൈന്യത്തിന്റെ കൈയിലും ഏല്പിക്കും.
22 ౨౨ యెహోవా వాక్కు ఇదే. “నేను ఒక ఆజ్ఞ ఇవ్వబోతున్నాను. వాళ్ళను ఈ పట్టణానికి మళ్ళీ తీసుకొస్తాను. వాళ్ళు దాని మీద యుద్ధం చేసి దాన్ని స్వాధీనం చేసుకుని, తగలబెడతారు. యూదా పట్టణాలను శిథిలాలుగా, నిర్జనంగా మారుస్తాను.”
൨൨ഞാൻ കല്പിച്ച് അവരെ ഈ നഗരത്തിലേക്കു മടക്കിവരുത്തും; അവർ അതിനെ യുദ്ധംചെയ്തു പിടിച്ച് തീ വെച്ചു ചുട്ടുകളയും; ഞാൻ യെഹൂദാപട്ടണങ്ങളെ നിവാസികളില്ലാതെ ശൂന്യമാക്കും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
