యిర్మీయా 19

1 ౧ యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్పాడు,

൧യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം കല്പിച്ചു: “നീ പോയി കുശവനോട് ഒരു മൺകുടം വിലയ്ക്കു വാങ്ങി, ജനത്തിന്റെ മൂപ്പന്മാരിലും പുരോഹിതന്മാരുടെ മൂപ്പന്മാരിലും ചിലരെ കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട്,

2 ౨ నువ్వు వెళ్లి కుమ్మరి చేసిన మట్టికుండ కొను. ప్రజల పెద్దల్లో కొంతమందినీ యాజకుల్లో పెద్దవారినీ వెంటబెట్టుకుని హర్సీతు ద్వారానికి ఎదురుగా ఉన్న బెన్‌ హిన్నోము లోయలోకి వెళ్ళి, నేను నీతో చెప్పే ఈ మాటలు అక్కడ ప్రకటించు.

൨ഹർസീത്ത് (ഓട്ടുനുറുക്ക്) വാതിലിന്റെ പുറമെയുള്ള ബെൻ-ഹിന്നോം താഴ്വരയിൽ ചെന്ന്, ഞാൻ നിന്നോട് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്ന വാക്കുകൾ അവിടെ പ്രസ്താവിച്ചു പറയേണ്ടത്:

3 ౩ “యూదా రాజులారా! యెరూషలేము నివాసులారా! యెహోవా మాట వినండి. సేనల అధిపతి యెహోవా, ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడు చెప్పేది వినండి. నేను ఈ స్థలం మీదికి విపత్తు రప్పిస్తున్నాను. దాని గురించి వినేవారందరి చెవులు గింగురుమనేటంత భయంకరంగా ఉంటుంది.

൩“യെഹൂദാരാജാക്കന്മാരും യെരൂശലേം നിവാസികളുമായുള്ളോരേ, യഹോവയുടെ വചനം കേൾക്കുവിൻ! യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ഞാൻ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തിന് വരുത്തുന്ന അനർത്ഥത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് കേൾക്കുന്നവന്റെ ചെവി തരിച്ചുപോകും.

4 ౪ ఎందుకంటే వాళ్ళు నన్ను విడిచిపెట్టి ఈ స్థలాన్ని పాడు చేశారు. వాళ్ళకు తెలియని ఇతర దేవుళ్ళ ఎదుట ధూపం వేశారు. వాళ్ళూ వాళ్ళ పూర్వీకులూ యూదా రాజులు కూడా నిరపరాధుల రక్తంతో ఈ స్థలాన్ని నింపారు.

൪അവർ എന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച്, ഈ സ്ഥലത്തെ വഷളാക്കി, അവരും അവരുടെ പൂര്‍വ്വ പിതാക്കന്മാരും യെഹൂദാരാജാക്കന്മാരും അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ലാത്ത അന്യദേവന്മാർക്ക് അവിടെവച്ച് ധൂപം കാട്ടി, ഈ സ്ഥലത്തെ കുറ്റമില്ലാത്തവരുടെ രക്തംകൊണ്ടു നിറയ്ക്കുകയും

5 ౫ వాళ్ళు తమ కొడుకులను దహనబలులుగా కాల్చడానికి బయలుకు బలిపీఠాలు కట్టించారు. అలా చేయమని నేను వాళ్లకు చెప్పలేదు, అది నా మనస్సుకు ఎన్నడూ తోచలేదు.”

൫ബാലിനു ദഹനയാഗങ്ങളായി അവരുടെ പുത്രന്മാരെ തീയിൽ ഇട്ടു ദഹിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ പൂജാഗിരികൾ പണിയുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു. അത് ഞാൻ കല്പിച്ചിട്ടില്ല, അരുളിച്ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല, എന്റെ മനസ്സിൽ വന്നിട്ടുമില്ല.

6 ౬ కాబట్టి యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమిటంటే “రాబోయే రోజుల్లో ఈ స్థలాన్ని ‘వధ లోయ’ అంటారు. తోఫెతు అని గానీ బెన్‌ హిన్నోము లోయ అని గానీ అనరు.

൬അതുകൊണ്ട് ഈ സ്ഥലത്തിന് ഇനി തോഫെത്ത് എന്നും ബെൻ-ഹിന്നോം താഴ്വര എന്നും പേരുപറയാതെ കൊലത്താഴ്വര എന്ന് പേരുപറയുന്ന കാലം വരും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.

7 ౭ ఈ స్థలం లోనే యూదావారి ఆలోచనను యెరూషలేమువారి ఆలోచనను నేను వ్యర్ధం చేస్తాను. తమ శత్రువుల ఎదుట కత్తిపాలయ్యేలా చేస్తాను. తమ ప్రాణాలను తీయాలని చూసే వాళ్ళ చేతికి అప్పగిస్తాను. వాళ్ళ శవాలను రాబందులకూ అడవి జంతువులకూ ఆహారంగా ఇస్తాను.

൭“അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തുവച്ച് യെഹൂദയുടെയും യെരൂശലേമിന്റെയും ആലോചനയെ നിഷ്ഫലമാക്കും; ഞാൻ അവരെ ശത്രുക്കളുടെ മുമ്പിൽ വാൾകൊണ്ടും അവർക്ക് പ്രാണഹാനി വരുത്തുവാൻ നോക്കുന്നവരുടെ കൈകൊണ്ടും വീഴ്ത്തുകയും, അവരുടെ ശവങ്ങൾ ആകാശത്തിലെ പക്ഷികൾക്കും കാട്ടിലെ മൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ഇരയാക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.

8 ౮ ఈ పట్టణాన్ని పాడు చేసి ఎగతాళికి గురి చేస్తాను. ఆ దారిలో వెళ్ళే ప్రతివాడూ దాని కడగండ్లన్నీ చూసి నిర్ఘాంతపోయి హేళన చేస్తారు.

൮ഞാൻ ഈ നഗരത്തെ സ്തംഭനത്തിനും പരിഹാസത്തിനും വിഷയമാക്കിത്തീർക്കും; അതിനരികിലൂടെ കടന്നുപോകുന്ന ഏവനും സ്തംഭിച്ച്, അതിന് നേരിട്ട സകലബാധകളും നിമിത്തം പരിഹാസത്തോടെ ചൂളംവിളിക്കും.

9 ౯ వాళ్ళు తమ కొడుకుల, కూతుళ్ళ శరీరాలను తినేలా చేస్తాను. తమ ప్రాణం తీయాలని చూసే శత్రువులు ముట్టడి వేసి బాధించే కాలంలో వాళ్ళు ఒకరి శరీరాన్ని ఒకరు తింటారు.

൯അവരുടെ ശത്രുക്കളും അവർക്ക് പ്രാണഹാനി വരുത്തുവാൻ നോക്കുന്നവരും അവരെ ഞെരുക്കുന്ന ഞെരുക്കത്തിലും ഉപരോധത്തിലും ഞാൻ അവരെ സ്വന്തപുത്രന്മാരുടെ മാംസവും പുത്രിമാരുടെ മാംസവും തിന്നുമാറാക്കും; ഓരോരുത്തൻ അവനവന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരന്റെ മാംസം തിന്നും.

10 ౧౦ ఈ మాటలు చెప్పిన తరువాత నీతో వచ్చిన మనుష్యులు చూస్తుండగా నువ్వు ఆ కుండ పగలగొట్టి వాళ్ళతో ఇలా చెప్పాలి.”

൧൦പിന്നെ നിന്നോടുകൂടെ വന്ന പുരുഷന്മാരുടെ കൺമുമ്പിൽ നീ ആ മൺകുടം ഉടച്ച് അവരോടു പറയേണ്ടതെന്തെന്നാൽ:

11 ౧౧ “సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా ఇలా చెబుతున్నాడు, మళ్ళీ బాగుచేయడానికి వీలు లేకుండా కుమ్మరివాని కుండను ఒకడు పగలగొట్టినట్టు నేను ఈ ప్రజలనూ ఈ పట్టణాన్నీ పగలగొట్టబోతున్నాను. తోఫెతులో పాతిపెట్టే చోటు దొరకనంతగా వాళ్ళను అక్కడే పాతిపెడతారు.”

൧൧“സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: നന്നാക്കുവാൻ കഴിയാത്തവണ്ണം കുശവന്റെ പാത്രം ഉടച്ചുകളഞ്ഞതുപോലെ, ഞാൻ ഈ ജനത്തെയും ഈ നഗരത്തെയും ഉടച്ചുകളയും. അടക്കം ചെയ്യുവാൻ വേറെ സ്ഥലമില്ലായ്കയാൽ അവരെ തോഫെത്തിൽ അടക്കം ചെയ്യും.

12 ౧౨ యెహోవా వాక్కు ఇదే. “ఈ పట్టణాన్ని తోఫెతులాంటి స్థలంగా నేను చేస్తాను. ఈ స్థలానికీ అక్కడి నివాసులకూ నేనలా చేస్తాను.

൧൨ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തോടും അതിലെ നിവാസികളോടും ചെയ്യും; ഞാൻ ഈ നഗരത്തെ തോഫെത്തിനു സമമാക്കും” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.

13 ౧౩ యెరూషలేము ఇళ్ళు, యూదా రాజుల రాజ భవనాలూ ఆ తోఫెతు స్థలం లాగే అపవిత్రమవుతాయి. ఏ ఇళ్ళ మీద ప్రజలు ఆకాశ నక్షత్ర సమూహానికి మొక్కి ఇతర దేవుళ్ళకు పానార్పణలు చేశారో ఆ ఇళ్ళన్నిటికీ ఆలాగే జరుగుతుంది.”

൧൩മലിനമായിരിക്കുന്ന യെരൂശലേമിലെ വീടുകളും, യെഹൂദാ രാജാക്കന്മാരുടെ അരമനകളും, അവർ മട്ടുപ്പാവുകളിൽവച്ച് ആകാശത്തിലെ സർവ്വസൈന്യത്തിനും ധൂപം കാണിക്കുകയും, അന്യദേവന്മാർക്ക് പാനീയബലി പകരുകയും ചെയ്ത എല്ലാ ഭവനങ്ങളും തോഫെത്ത് എന്ന സ്ഥലംപോലെയാകും”.

14 ౧౪ యిర్మీయా ఆ ప్రవచనం చెప్పడానికి యెహోవా తనను పంపిన తోఫెతులో నుంచి వచ్చి యెహోవా మందిరపు ఆవరణంలో నిలబడి ప్రజలందరితో ఇలా చెప్పాడు,

൧൪അനന്തരം യഹോവ തന്നെ പ്രവചിക്കുവാൻ അയച്ചിരുന്ന തോഫെത്തിൽനിന്ന് യിരെമ്യാവ് വന്ന്, യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിന്റെ പ്രാകാരത്തിൽ നിന്നുകൊണ്ട് സകലജനത്തോടും:

15 ౧౫ “సేనల ప్రభువు యెహోవా, ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడు ఈ మాట చెబుతున్నాడు. ఈ ప్రజలు నా మాటలు వినకుండా మొండికెత్తారు. కాబట్టి ఈ పట్టణం గురించి నేను చెప్పిన విపత్తునంతా దాని మీదికీ దానికి సంబంధించిన పట్టణాలన్నిటి మీదికీ రప్పిస్తున్నాను.”

൧൫“യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: അവർ എന്റെ വചനങ്ങൾ കേൾക്കാതെ ശാഠ്യംപിടിച്ചിരിക്കുകകൊണ്ട് ഞാൻ ഈ നഗരത്തിനു വിധിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന സകല അനർത്ഥവും അതിനും അതിനടുത്ത എല്ലാ പട്ടണങ്ങൾക്കും വരുത്തും” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
