1 ౧ రెండు రోజుల తరువాత పస్కా పండగ, పొంగని రొట్టెల పండగ రాబోతున్నాయి. ముఖ్య యాజకులు, ధర్మశాస్త్ర పండితులు యేసును రహస్యంగా బంధించి చంపాలని కుట్రలు పన్నుతున్నారు.
൧രണ്ടു ദിവസം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ട് പെസഹയുടെയും പുളിപ്പില്ലാത്ത അപ്പത്തിന്റെയും ഉത്സവം ആയിരുന്നു. അപ്പോൾ മഹാപുരോഹിതന്മാരും ശാസ്ത്രിമാരും യേശുവിനെ ഉപായത്താൽ പിടിച്ച് കൊല്ലേണ്ടത് എങ്ങനെ എന്നു അന്വേഷിച്ചു.
൨ജനത്തിൽ കലഹം ഉണ്ടാകാതിരിക്കുവാൻ ഉത്സവത്തിൽ അരുത് എന്ന് അവർ പറഞ്ഞു.
3 ౩ ఆ సమయంలో యేసు బేతనీలో కుష్టురోగి సీమోను ఇంట్లో భోజనానికి కూర్చుని ఉన్నాడు. అప్పుడు ఒక స్త్రీ అగరు చెట్ల నుండి చేసిన స్వచ్ఛమైన, ప్రశస్తమైన అత్తరును ఒక చలువరాతి సీసాలో తన వెంట తెచ్చింది. ఆమె ఆ సీసా పగలగొట్టి ఆ అత్తరును యేసు తల మీద పోసింది.
൩യേശു ബേഥാന്യയിൽ കുഷ്ഠരോഗിയായ ശിമോന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ പന്തിയിൽ ഇരിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഒരു സ്ത്രീ ഒരു വെങ്കൽഭരണിയിൽ വളരെ വിലയേറിയതും ശുദ്ധവുമായ സ്വച്ഛജടാമാംസി തൈലവുമായി വന്നു ഭരണി പൊട്ടിച്ച് അവന്റെ തലയിൽ ഒഴിച്ചു.
൪അവിടെ ചിലർ ദേഷ്യത്തോടെ: “തൈലത്തിന്റെ ഈ വെറും ചെലവ് എന്തിന്?
5 ౫ ఈ అత్తరు అమ్మి ఉంటే మూడువందల దేనారాల కంటే ఎక్కువే వచ్చేవి. ఆ డబ్బు పేదవాళ్ళకు ఇచ్చి ఉండవలసింది” అని తమలో తాము చెప్పుకుని ఆ స్త్రీని గద్దించారు.
൫ഇതു മുന്നൂറിൽ അധികം വെള്ളിക്കാശിന് വിറ്റ് ദരിദ്രർക്ക് കൊടുക്കുവാൻ കഴിയുമായിരുന്നുവല്ലോ” എന്നിങ്ങനെ തമ്മിൽ പറഞ്ഞു, അവളെ ശാസിച്ചു.
6 ౬ అయితే యేసు, “ఆమె జోలికి వెళ్ళకండి! ఆమెను ఎందుకు కంగారు పెడుతున్నారు? ఈమె నా విషయంలో శ్రేష్ఠమైన పని చేసింది.
൬എന്നാൽ യേശു: “അവളെ വിടുവിൻ; അവളെ അസഹ്യപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത് എന്ത്? അവൾ എനിക്ക് ഒരു നല്ലകാര്യം ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
7 ౭ పేదవారు ఎప్పుడూ మీతో ఉంటారు. మీకు ఇష్టం వచ్చినప్పుడు మీరు వారికి సహాయం చేయవచ్చు. కాని, నేను ఎల్లకాలం మీతో ఉండను.
൭ദരിദ്രർ എല്ലായ്പോഴും നിങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കെ ഉണ്ടല്ലോ; ഇച്ഛിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവർക്ക് നന്മചെയ്‌വാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് കഴിയും; ഞാനോ എല്ലായ്പോഴും നിങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കുകയില്ല.
൮അവളാൽ കഴിയുന്നത് അവൾ ചെയ്തു; എന്റെ സംസ്ക്കാരത്തിനുവേണ്ടി അവൾ മുമ്പുകൂട്ടി എന്റെ ദേഹത്തിന് തൈലാഭിഷേകം ചെയ്തു.
9 ౯ మీతో నేను కచ్చితంగా చెప్పేదేమంటే, ఈ లోకమంతటా సువార్త ప్రకటన జరిగే ప్రతిచోటా ఈమె చేసినది కూడా జ్ఞాపకం చేసుకుని ప్రశంసిస్తారు” అన్నాడు.
൯സുവിശേഷം ലോകത്തിൽ പ്രസംഗിക്കുന്നിടത്തെല്ലാം അവൾ ചെയ്തതു അവളുടെ ഓർമ്മയ്ക്കായി പ്രസ്താവിക്കും എന്നു ഞാൻ സത്യമായിട്ട് നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു”.
10 ౧౦ ఆ తరువాత పన్నెండు మందిలో ఒకడైన యూదా ఇస్కరియోతు యేసును పట్టి ఇచ్చేందుకు ప్రధాన యాజకులతో మాట్లాడడానికి వారి దగ్గరికి వెళ్ళాడు.
൧൦പിന്നെ പന്തിരുവരിൽ ഒരുവനായ ഈസ്കര്യോത്താ യൂദാ യേശുവിനെ മഹാപുരോഹിതൻമാർക്ക് ഏല്പിച്ചുകൊടുക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവരുടെ അടുക്കൽ ചെന്ന്.
11 ౧౧ అది విని వారు చాలా సంతోషించి అతనికి కొంత సొమ్ము ముట్టజెపుతామని మాట ఇచ్చారు. అప్పటినుండీ యేసును వారికి అప్పగించడానికి తగిన అవకాశం కోసం యూదా ఎదురు చూస్తూ ఉన్నాడు.
൧൧അവർ അത് കേട്ട് സന്തോഷിച്ച് അവന് പണം കൊടുക്കാം എന്നു വാഗ്ദാനം ചെയ്തു; അവൻ യേശുവിനെ എങ്ങനെ അവർക്ക് ഏല്പിച്ചുകൊടുക്കാം എന്നു തക്കം അന്വേഷിച്ചുപോന്നു.
12 ౧౨ పొంగని రొట్టెల పండగ మొదటి రోజున పస్కా గొర్రె పిల్లను వధించే రోజు వచ్చినప్పుడు యేసు శిష్యులు, “పస్కా విందును ఎక్కడ సిద్ధం చేయమంటావు?” అని ఆయనను అడిగారు.
൧൨പെസഹ കുഞ്ഞാടിനെ അറുക്കുന്നതായ പുളിപ്പില്ലാത്ത അപ്പത്തിന്റെ ഒന്നാം നാളിൽ ശിഷ്യന്മാർ അവനോട്: നീ പെസഹ കഴിക്കുവാൻ ഞങ്ങൾ എവിടെ ഒരുക്കണം എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു.
13 ౧౩ యేసు తన శిష్యుల్లో ఇద్దరిని పంపుతూ, “మీరు ఊళ్ళోకి వెళ్ళండి. నీళ్ళ కుండ మోస్తున్న ఒక వ్యక్తి మీకు కనిపిస్తాడు. అతని వెంట వెళ్ళండి.
൧൩അവൻ ശിഷ്യന്മാരിൽ രണ്ടുപേരെ അയച്ചു; നഗരത്തിൽ ചെല്ലുവിൻ; അവിടെ ഒരു കുടം വെള്ളം ചുമന്നുകൊണ്ടുവരുന്ന ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ നിങ്ങളെ കണ്ടുമുട്ടും.
14 ౧౪ అతడు ఏ ఇంట్లో ప్రవేశిస్తే ఆ ఇంటి యజమానితో, ‘నేను నా శిష్యులతో కలిసి పస్కాను తినడానికి విడిది గది ఎక్కడ ఉంది? అని బోధకుడు అడుగుతున్నాడు’ అని చెప్పండి.
൧൪അവന്റെ പിന്നാലെ ചെല്ലുക അവൻ കടക്കുന്ന വീട്ടിൽചെന്ന് ആ വിട്ടുടയവനോടു: ഞാൻ എന്റെ ശിഷ്യന്മാരുമായി പെസഹ കഴിക്കുവാനുള്ള ശാല എവിടെ എന്നു ഗുരു ചോദിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറവിൻ.
15 ౧౫ అతడు పూర్తి సామగ్రితో సిద్ధంగా ఉన్న విశాలమైన మేడ గది మీకు చూపిస్తాడు. మన కోసం అక్కడ పస్కా విందు ఏర్పాటు చేయండి” అని ఆదేశించాడు.
൧൫അവൻ വിരിച്ചൊരുക്കിയ ഒരു വന്മാളിക കാണിച്ചുതരും; അവിടെ നമുക്കു ഒരുക്കുവിൻ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
16 ౧౬ ఆ శిష్యులు బయలుదేరి నగరంలోకి వెళ్ళారు. ఆయన తమతో చెప్పినట్టే అన్నీ జరిగాయి. వారు పస్కా పండగ భోజనం సిద్ధం చేశారు.
൧൬ശിഷ്യന്മാർ പുറപ്പെട്ടു നഗരത്തിൽ ചെന്ന് അവൻ തങ്ങളോട് പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ കണ്ട് പെസഹ ഒരുക്കി.
൧൭സന്ധ്യയായപ്പോൾ അവൻ പന്തിരുവരോടും കൂടെ വന്നു.
18 ౧౮ వారంతా బల్ల దగ్గర కూర్చుని భోజనం చేస్తుండగా యేసు, “మీతో కచ్చితంగా చెప్పేదేమంటే, నాతో కలిసి భోజనం చేస్తూ ఉన్న మీలో ఒకడు నన్ను అప్పగిస్తాడు” అన్నాడు.
൧൮അവർ ഇരുന്നു ഭക്ഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ യേശു: “നിങ്ങളിൽ ഒരുവൻ, എന്നോടുകൂടെ ഭക്ഷിക്കുന്നവൻ തന്നേ, എന്നെ കാണിച്ചുകൊടുക്കും എന്നു ഞാൻ സത്യമായിട്ട് നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
൧൯അവർ ദുഃഖിച്ചു: ഓരോരുത്തരും: “തീർച്ചയായും അത് ഞാനല്ലല്ലോ” എന്നു അവനോട് ചോദിക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങി.
൨൦അവൻ അവരോട്: “പന്തിരുവരിൽ ഒരുവൻ, എന്നോടുകൂടെ പാത്രത്തിൽ കൈമുക്കുന്നവൻ തന്നേ.
21 ౨౧ ఎందుకంటే మనుష్య కుమారుడి గురించి రాసి ఉన్నట్టే ఆయన చనిపోతాడు గాని, ఆయనను శత్రువులకు అప్పగించిన వాడికి శిక్ష తప్పదు. వాడు పుట్టకపోతే బాగుండేది” అన్నాడు.
൨൧മനുഷ്യപുത്രൻ പോകുന്നത് തന്നെക്കുറിച്ച് തിരുവെഴുത്തിൽ എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ തന്നെ; എന്നാൽ മനുഷ്യപുത്രനെ ഒറ്റികൊടുക്കുന്ന മനുഷ്യനോ അയ്യോ കഷ്ടം; ആ മനുഷ്യൻ ജനിക്കാതിരുന്നു എങ്കിൽ അവന് കൊള്ളാമായിരുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
22 ౨౨ వారు భోజనం చేస్తూ ఉండగా యేసు రొట్టె తీసుకుని ఆశీర్వదించి, దాన్ని విరిచి వారికిచ్చి, “దీన్ని తీసుకుని తినండి. ఇది నా దేహం” అన్నాడు.
൨൨അവർ ഭക്ഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവൻ അപ്പം എടുത്തു വാഴ്ത്തി നുറുക്കി അവർക്ക് കൊടുത്തു: “വാങ്ങുവിൻ; ഇതു എന്റെ ശരീരം” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
23 ౨౩ తరువాత ఒక పాత్ర తీసుకుని దేవునికి కృతజ్ఞత చెప్పి వారికి ఇచ్చాడు. ఆ పాత్రలోనిది వారందరూ తాగారు.
൨൩പിന്നെ പാനപാത്രം എടുത്തു സ്തോത്രംചൊല്ലി അവർക്ക് കൊടുത്തു; അവർ എല്ലാവരും അതിൽനിന്ന് കുടിച്ചു:
൨൪“ഇതു അനേകർക്ക് വേണ്ടി ചൊരിയുന്നതായ ഉടമ്പടിക്കുള്ള എന്റെ രക്തം.
25 ౨౫ నేను దేవుని రాజ్యంలో ప్రవేశించి, కొత్త ద్రాక్షారసం మళ్ళీ తాగే రోజు వరకూ ఇక నేను దాన్ని తాగను అని మీతో నిశ్చయంగా చెబుతున్నాను” అన్నాడు.
൨൫മുന്തിരിവള്ളിയുടെ അനുഭവം ദൈവരാജ്യത്തിൽ പുതുതായി കുടിക്കുന്ന നാൾവരെ ഞാൻ അത് ഇനി അനുഭവിക്കുകയില്ല എന്നു ഞാൻ സത്യമായിട്ട് നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു” എന്നു അവരോട് പറഞ്ഞു.
൨൬പിന്നെ അവർ സ്തോത്രം പാടിയശേഷം ഒലിവ് മലയ്ക്ക് പോയി.
27 ౨౭ అప్పుడు యేసు వారితో, “ఈ రాత్రి నా విషయంలో మీరంతా నాకు ముఖం చాటేస్తారు. ఎందుకంటే లేఖనాల్లో ఇలా ఉంది, ‘కాపరిని కొడతాను, గొర్రెలు చెదరిపోతాయి.’
൨൭യേശു അവരോട്: “എന്റെ നിമിത്തം നിങ്ങൾ എല്ലാവരും ഇടറിപ്പോകും; “ഞാൻ ഇടയനെ വെട്ടും, ആടുകൾ ചിതറിപ്പോകും” എന്നു എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നുവല്ലോ.
൨൮എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ ഉയിർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റശേഷം നിങ്ങൾക്ക് മുമ്പെ ഗലീലയ്ക്കു് പോകും” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
൨൯പത്രൊസ് അവനോട്: “എല്ലാവരും ഇടറിയാലും ഞാൻ ഇടറുകയില്ല” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
30 ౩౦ అప్పుడు యేసు, “నీతో కచ్చితంగా చెప్పేదేమిటంటే ఈ రాత్రి కోడి రెండు సార్లు కూయక ముందే నీవు మూడు సార్లు నేనెవరో తెలియదని అబద్ధం ఆడతావు” అని అతనితో అన్నాడు.
൩൦യേശു അവനോട്: “ഇന്ന്, ഈ രാത്രിയിൽ തന്നേ, കോഴി രണ്ടുവട്ടം കൂകുംമുമ്പെ നീ മൂന്നുവട്ടം എന്നെ തള്ളിപ്പറയും എന്നു ഞാൻ സത്യമായി നിന്നോട് പറയുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
31 ౩౧ “నేను నీతో చావవలసి వచ్చినా నువ్వు తెలియదు అనను” అని పేతురు గట్టిగా చెప్పాడు. మిగిలిన శిష్యులు కూడా అదే విధంగా అన్నారు.
൩൧എന്നാൽ പത്രൊസ്: “നിന്നോടുകൂടെ മരിക്കേണ്ടിവന്നാലും ഞാൻ നിന്നെ തള്ളിപ്പറകയില്ല” എന്നു അധികമായി പറഞ്ഞു; അങ്ങനെ തന്നെ എല്ലാവരും പറഞ്ഞു.
32 ౩౨ అందరూ గేత్సేమనే అనే చోటికి వెళ్ళారు. అక్కడ యేసు తన శిష్యులతో, “నేను ప్రార్థన చేసి వచ్చే వరకూ మీరు ఇక్కడే ఉండండి” అన్నాడు.
൩൨അവർ ഗെത്ത്ശമന എന്നു പേരുള്ള സ്ഥലത്തുവന്നപ്പോൾ അവൻ ശിഷ്യന്മാരോട്: “ഞാൻ പ്രാർത്ഥിച്ചുതീരുവോളം ഇവിടെ ഇരിപ്പിൻ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
33 ౩౩ అప్పుడాయన పేతురు, యాకోబు, యోహానులను తన వెంట తీసుకు వెళ్ళి తీవ్రమైన దుఃఖంలో, నిస్పృహలో మునిగిపోసాగాడు.
൩൩പിന്നെ അവൻ പത്രൊസിനെയും യാക്കോബിനെയും യോഹന്നാനെയും കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട് ഭ്രമിക്കുവാനും വ്യാകുലപ്പെടുവാനും തുടങ്ങി:
34 ౩౪ ఆయన వారితో, “ప్రాణం పోయేటంత దుఃఖంలో మునిగి ఉన్నాను. మీరు ఇక్కడే నిలిచి మెలకువగా ఉండండి” అని చెప్పి,
൩൪“എന്റെ ഉള്ളം മരണവേദനപോലെ അതിദുഃഖിതമായിരിക്കുന്നു; ഇവിടെ പാർത്തു ഉണർന്നിരിപ്പിൻ” എന്നു അവരോട് പറഞ്ഞു.
൩൫പിന്നെ അല്പം മുമ്പോട്ടു ചെന്ന് നിലത്തുവീണു, കഴിയും എങ്കിൽ ആ നാഴിക നീങ്ങിപ്പോകേണം എന്നു പ്രാർത്ഥിച്ചു:
36 ౩౬ ఆయన, “అబ్బా! తండ్రీ! నీకు అన్నీ సాధ్యమే. ఈ గిన్నెను నా నుంచి తొలగించు. కాని నా ఇష్టం కాదు, నీ ఇష్టమే జరగనివ్వు” అని ప్రార్థించాడు.
൩൬“അബ്ബാ, പിതാവേ, നിനക്ക് എല്ലാം കഴിയും; ഈ പാനപാത്രം എങ്കൽ നിന്നു നീക്കേണമേ; എങ്കിലും എന്റെ ഹിതമല്ല അങ്ങയുടെ ഹിതം തന്നേ” ആകട്ടെ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
37 ౩౭ ఆయన వచ్చి తన శిష్యులు నిద్రపోతూ ఉండడం చూసి, “సీమోనూ! నిద్రపోతున్నావా? ఒక్క గంట కూడా మెలకువగా ఉండలేకపోయావా?
൩൭പിന്നെ അവൻ വന്നു അവർ ഉറങ്ങുന്നത് കണ്ട് പത്രൊസിനോട്: “ശിമോനേ, നീ ഉറങ്ങുന്നുവോ? ഒരു നാഴിക ഉണർന്നിരിപ്പാൻ നിനക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞില്ലയോ?
38 ౩౮ మీరు పరీక్షకు గురి కాకుండా ఉండేలా మెలకువగా ఉండి ప్రార్థన చేస్తూ ఉండండి. ఆత్మ సిద్ధమే కానీ శరీరం బలహీనంగా ఉంది” అన్నాడు.
൩൮പരീക്ഷയിൽ അകപ്പെടാതിരിക്കുവാൻ ഉണർന്നിരുന്നു പ്രാർത്ഥിക്കുവിൻ; ആത്മാവ് ഒരുക്കമുള്ളത്, ജഡമോ ബലഹീനമത്രേ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
൩൯അവൻ പിന്നെയും പോയി ആ വചനം തന്നേ ചൊല്ലി പ്രാർത്ഥിച്ചു.
40 ౪౦ ఆయన తిరిగి వచ్చి వారు ఇంకా నిద్రపోతూ ఉండడం చూశాడు. వారి కళ్ళు మూతలు పడుతూ ఉన్నాయి. ఆయనకు ఏమి జవాబు చెప్పాలో శిష్యులకు తోచలేదు.
൪൦മടങ്ങിവന്നപ്പോൾ അവരുടെ കണ്ണുകൾക്ക് ഭാരമേറിയിരുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു അവർ ഉറങ്ങുന്നത് കണ്ട്; അവർ അവനോട് എന്ത് ഉത്തരം പറയേണം എന്നു അറിഞ്ഞില്ല.
41 ౪౧ మూడవ సారి ఆయన వచ్చి వారితో ఇలా అన్నాడు, “మీరింకా నిద్రపోతూ ఉన్నారా? ఇక చాలు. ఆ సమయం వచ్చింది. ఇదిగో చూడండి. మనుష్య కుమారుణ్ణి పాపులు బంధించబోతున్నారు.
൪൧അവൻ മൂന്നാമതു വന്നു അവരോട്: “ഇപ്പോഴും നിങ്ങൾ ഉറങ്ങി വിശ്രമിക്കുകയാണോ? മതി, ആ നാഴിക വന്നു; ഇതാ, മനുഷ്യപുത്രൻ പാപികളുടെ കയ്യിൽ ഏല്പിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.
൪൨എഴുന്നേല്പിൻ; നാം പോക; ഇതാ, എന്നെ ഒറ്റികൊടുക്കുന്നവൻ അടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
43 ౪౩ ఆయన ఇంకా మాట్లాడుతూ ఉండగానే పన్నెండు మందిలో ఒకడైన యూదా వచ్చాడు. ప్రధాన యాజకులూ ధర్మశాస్త్ర పండితులూ పెద్దలూ పంపిన పెద్ద గుంపు అతనితో ఉంది. వారి దగ్గర కత్తులూ దుడ్డు కర్రలూ ఉన్నాయి.
൪൩ഉടനെ, അവൻ സംസാരിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ തന്നേ, പന്തിരുവരിൽ ഒരുവനായ യൂദയും അവനോടുകൂടെ മുഖ്യപുരോഹിതന്മാർ, ശാസ്ത്രിമാർ, മൂപ്പന്മാർ എന്നവർ അയച്ച ഒരു പുരുഷാരവും വാളും വടിയുമായി വന്നു.
44 ౪౪ ఆయనను అప్పగించేవాడు ముందుగానే వారికి ఒక గుర్తు చెప్పి, “నేనెవరిని ముద్దు పెట్టుకుంటానో ఆయనే యేసు. ఆయనను బంధించి తీసుకు వెళ్ళండి” అన్నాడు.
൪൪അവനെ ഒറ്റികൊടുക്കുന്നവൻ: “ഞാൻ ആരെ ചുംബിക്കുമോ അവൻ തന്നേ ആകുന്നു; അവനെ പിടിച്ച് സുരക്ഷിതമായി കൊണ്ടുപോകുവിൻ” എന്നു അവർക്ക് ഒരു അടയാളം പറഞ്ഞുകൊടുത്തിരുന്നു.
൪൫യൂദാ വന്ന ഉടനെ യേശുവിന്റെ അടുത്തുചെന്ന്: “റബ്ബീ,” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു അവനെ ചുംബിച്ചു.
൪൬അവർ അവന്റെമേൽ കൈവച്ച് അവനെ പിടിച്ച്.
47 ౪౭ అక్కడ నిలుచున్న వారిలో ఒకడు తన కత్తి తీసి ప్రధాన యాజకుని సేవకుని కొట్టి అతని చెవి నరికి వేశాడు.
൪൭അരികെ നില്ക്കുന്നവരിൽ ഒരുവൻ വാൾ ഊരി മഹാപുരോഹിതന്റെ ദാസനെ വെട്ടി കാത് അറുത്തു.
൪൮യേശു അവരോട്: “ഒരു കള്ളന്റെ നേരെ എന്നപോലെ നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ പിടിപ്പാൻ വാളും വടിയുമായി പുറപ്പെട്ടു വന്നുവോ?
49 ౪౯ నేను ప్రతి రోజూ దేవాలయంలో ఉపదేశం చేస్తూ మీతో ఉన్నవాడినే కదా! అప్పుడు నన్ను ఎందుకు పట్టుకోలేదు? లేఖనాల్లో రాసి ఉన్నది నెరవేరడం కోసమే ఈ విధంగా జరిగింది.”
൪൯ഞാൻ ദിവസേന ദൈവാലയത്തിൽ ഉപദേശിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ഇരുന്നു; നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ പിടിച്ചില്ല; എങ്കിലും തിരുവെഴുത്തുകൾക്ക് നിവൃത്തി വരേണ്ടതിന് ഇങ്ങനെ സംഭവിക്കുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
൫൦അപ്പോൾ യേശുവിന്റെ കൂടെയുണ്ടായിരുന്ന എല്ലാവരും അവനെ വിട്ടു ഓടിപ്പോയി.
51 ౫౧ ఒక యువకుడు యేసును వెంబడిస్తున్నాడు. అతని శరీరం మీద నారబట్ట తప్ప ఇంకేమీ లేదు. వారు అతనిని కూడా పట్టుకున్నారు.
൫൧ഒരു ബാല്യക്കാരൻ തന്റെ ശരീരത്തിന്മേൽ പുതപ്പ് മാത്രം പുതച്ചുംകൊണ്ട് അവനെ അനുഗമിച്ചു; അവർ അവനെ പിടിച്ച്.
൫൨അവനോ ആ പുതപ്പ് അവിടെ വിട്ടു നഗ്നനായി ഓടിപ്പോയി.
53 ౫౩ వారు యేసుని ప్రధాన యాజకుని దగ్గరికి తీసుకు వెళ్ళారు. అక్కడ ముఖ్య యాజకులు, పెద్దలు, ధర్మశాస్త్ర పండితులు అందరూ సమావేశమయ్యారు.
൫൩അവർ യേശുവിനെ മഹാപുരോഹിതന്റെ അടുക്കൽ കൊണ്ടുപോയി. അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ എല്ലാ മുഖ്യപുരോഹിതന്മാരും മൂപ്പന്മാരും ശാസ്ത്രിമാരും വന്നു കൂടിയിരുന്നു.
54 ౫౪ పేతురు యేసుకు దూరంగా ఉండి వెంబడిస్తూ ప్రధాన యాజకుని ఇంటి ఆవరణలోకి వచ్చాడు. భటులతో పాటు తాను కూడా కూర్చుని మంట దగ్గర చలి కాచుకుంటూ ఉన్నాడు.
൫൪പത്രൊസ് മഹാപുരോഹിതന്റെ അരമനയുടെ മുറ്റംവരെ അവനെ അല്പം ദൂരെയായി അനുഗമിച്ചു, ഭൃത്യന്മാരോടു ചേർന്ന് തീ കാഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.
55 ౫౫ ముఖ్య యాజకులు, యూదుల మహా సభలోని సభ్యులంతా యేసుకు మరణశిక్ష విధించడానికి తగిన సాక్ష్యం కోసం చూస్తూ ఉన్నారు గానీ అది వారికి దొరకలేదు.
൫൫മുഖ്യപുരോഹിതന്മാരും ന്യായാധിപസംഘം ഒക്കെയും യേശുവിനെ കൊല്ലേണ്ടതിന് അവനെതിരെ സാക്ഷ്യം അന്വേഷിച്ചു, കണ്ടില്ലതാനും.
56 ౫౬ చాలామంది యేసుకు వ్యతిరేకంగా అబద్ధ సాక్ష్యం చెప్పారు. కాని, వారి సాక్షాలు ఒకదానితో ఒకటి పొసగలేదు.
൫൬അനേകർ അവന്റെനേരെ കള്ളസാക്ഷ്യം പറഞ്ഞു; എന്നാൽ അവരുടെ സാക്ഷ്യംപോലും ഒത്തുവന്നില്ല.
൫൭ചിലർ എഴുന്നേറ്റ് അവന്റെനേരെ:
58 ౫౮ “ఇతడు ‘మనుషులు కట్టిన ఈ దేవాలయాన్ని పడగొట్టి మూడు రోజుల్లో మనుషులు కట్టని మరో దేవాలయాన్ని నిర్మిస్తాను’ అని చెప్పడం మేము విన్నాం” అన్నారు.
൫൮“ഞാൻ കൈപ്പണിയായ ഈ മന്ദിരം പൊളിച്ച് മൂന്നു ദിവസംകൊണ്ട് കൈപ്പണിയല്ലാത്ത മറ്റൊന്നു പണിയും എന്നു ഇവൻ പറഞ്ഞത് ഞങ്ങൾ കേട്ട്” എന്നു കള്ളസാക്ഷ്യം പറഞ്ഞു.
൫൯എന്നിട്ടും അവരുടെ സാക്ഷ്യം ഒത്തുവന്നില്ല.
60 ౬౦ అప్పుడు ప్రధాన యాజకుడు లేచి అందరి సమక్షంలో యేసుతో, “నీవేమీ మాట్లాడవేంటి? వీరు నీకు వ్యతిరేకంగా సాక్ష్యం చెబుతున్నారు కదా!” అని యేసును ప్రశ్నించాడు.
൬൦മഹാപുരോഹിതൻ നടുവിൽ നിന്നുകൊണ്ടു യേശുവിനോടു: “നീ ഒന്നും ഉത്തരം പറയുന്നില്ലയോ? ഇവർ നിന്റെനേരെ സാക്ഷ്യം പറയുന്നത് എന്ത്?” എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു.
61 ౬౧ కాని యేసు మౌనం వహించాడు. ప్రధాన యాజకుడు, “నీవు దేవుని కుమారుడివైన క్రీస్తువా?” అని మళ్ళీ యేసును ప్రశ్నించాడు.
൬൧അവനോ മിണ്ടാതെയും ഉത്തരം പറയാതെയും ഇരുന്നു. മഹാപുരോഹിതൻ പിന്നെയും അവനോട്: “നീ വന്ദ്യനായവന്റെ പുത്രനായ ക്രിസ്തുവോ?” എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു.
62 ౬౨ అప్పుడు యేసు, “నేనే. మనుష్య కుమారుడు సర్వశక్తుని కుడి వైపున కూర్చుని ఉండటం, పరలోకం నుండి మేఘాలపై రావడం మీరు చూస్తారు” అన్నాడు.
൬൨“ഞാൻ ആകുന്നു; മനുഷ്യപുത്രൻ സർവ്വശക്തന്റെ വലത്തുഭാഗത്ത് ഇരിക്കുന്നതും ആകാശമേഘങ്ങളോടെ വരുന്നതും നിങ്ങൾ കാണും” എന്നു യേശു പറഞ്ഞു.
൬൩അപ്പോൾ മഹാപുരോഹിതൻ വസ്ത്രം കീറി:
64 ౬౪ ఇతడు దేవ దూషణ చేయడం మీరు విన్నారు కదా! మీరేమంటారు?” అన్నాడు. ఆయన మరణశిక్షకు తగిన వాడని అందరూ తీర్పు చెప్పారు.
൬൪“ഇനി സാക്ഷികളെക്കൊണ്ട് നമുക്കു എന്ത് ആവശ്യം? ദൈവദൂഷണം നിങ്ങൾ കേട്ടുവല്ലോ; എന്താണ് നിങ്ങളുടെ തീരുമാനം?” എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു. “അവൻ മരണയോഗ്യൻ” എന്നു എല്ലാവരും വിധിച്ചു.
65 ౬౫ అప్పుడు కొందరు యేసు మీద ఉమ్మివేసి, ఆయన కళ్ళకు గంతలు కట్టి, ఆయనను గుద్ది, “ఎవరో ప్రవచించు” అన్నారు. భటులు కూడా ఆయనను కొట్టారు.
൬൫ചിലർ അവനെ തുപ്പുകയും അവന്റെ മുഖം മൂടി അവനെ മുഷ്ടിചുരുട്ടി കുത്തുകയും ‘പ്രവചിക്ക’ എന്നു അവനോട് പറകയും ചെയ്തു തുടങ്ങി; ചേവകർ അവനെ ഏറ്റുവാങ്ങി അടിച്ചു.
൬൬പത്രൊസ് താഴെ നടുമുറ്റത്ത് ഇരിക്കുമ്പോൾ മഹാപുരോഹിതന്റെ വേലക്കാരത്തികളിൽ ഒരുവൾ വന്നു,
67 ౬౭ పేతురు చలి కాచుకుంటూ అక్కడ ఉండడం చూసి, “నజరేతు వాడైన యేసుతో నువ్వు కూడా ఉన్నావుగదా!” అని అతనితో అంది.
൬൭പത്രൊസ് തീ കായുന്നത് കണ്ട് അവനെ സൂക്ഷിച്ചുനോക്കി: “നീയും ആ നസറായനായ യേശുവിനോടുകൂടെ ആയിരുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
68 ౬౮ పేతురు కాదన్నాడు. “నేను ఆయనను ఎరగను. నీవేం అంటున్నావో నాకు అర్థం కావడం లేదు” అని అన్నాడు. ఆ వెంటనే లేచి ఆవరణలోకి వెళ్ళాడు. వెంటనే కోడి కూసింది.
൬൮“നീ പറയുന്നത് എന്തെന്ന് ഞാൻ അറിയുന്നുമില്ല, എനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലാകുന്നതുമില്ല” എന്നിങ്ങനെ അവൻ തള്ളിപ്പറഞ്ഞു. പിന്നെ അവൻ പുറത്തു പടിപ്പുരയിലേക്ക് പോയപ്പോൾ കോഴി കൂകി.
൬൯ആ വേലക്കാരത്തി അവനെ പിന്നെയും കണ്ട് സമീപത്ത് നില്ക്കുന്നവരോട്: “ഇവൻ ആ കൂട്ടരിൽ ഉള്ളവൻ തന്നേ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞുതുടങ്ങി. അവൻ പിന്നെയും തള്ളിപ്പറഞ്ഞു.
70 ౭౦ పేతురు మళ్ళీ కాదన్నాడు. కాసేపటికి పక్కన నిలుచున్నవారు అతనితో, “నిజమే! నువ్వు వాళ్ళలో ఒకడివే. ఎందుకంటే నువ్వు కూడా గలిలయ వాడివే కదా!” అన్నారు.
൭൦കുറച്ചുനേരം കഴിഞ്ഞശേഷം അരികെ നിന്നവർ പത്രൊസിനോട്: “നിശ്ചയമായും നീ ആ കൂട്ടരിൽ ഉള്ളവൻ തന്നെ; നീയും ഗലീലക്കാരനല്ലോ” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
71 ౭౧ అయితే పేతురు, “మీరు మాట్లాడుతున్న మనిషి ఎవరో తెలియదు” అంటూ తనను తాను శపించుకోవడం, ఒట్టు పెట్టుకోవడం మొదలుపెట్టాడు.
൭൧“നിങ്ങൾ പറയുന്ന മനുഷ്യനെ ഞാൻ അറിയുന്നില്ല” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞ് അവൻ പ്രാകുവാനും ആണയിടുവാനും തുടങ്ങി.
72 ౭౨ వెంటనే రెండోసారి కోడి కూసింది. ‘కోడి రెండు సార్లు కూసే ముందే నన్నెరుగనని మూడు సార్లు బొంకుతావు’ అని యేసు తనతో చెప్పిన మాటలు పేతురుకు జ్ఞాపకం వచ్చాయి. అతడు దుఃఖం ఆపుకోలేక ఏడ్చాడు.
൭൨ഉടനെ കോഴി രണ്ടാമതും കൂകി; കോഴി രണ്ടുവട്ടം കൂകുംമുമ്പെ നീ മൂന്നുവട്ടം എന്നെ തള്ളിപ്പറയും എന്നു യേശു തന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞവാക്ക് ഓർത്ത് പത്രൊസ് പൊട്ടിക്കരഞ്ഞു.
