జెఫన్యా 1
1 ౧ యూదారాజు ఆమోను కుమారుడు యోషీయా దినాల్లో జెఫన్యాకు ప్రత్యక్షమైన యెహోవా వాక్కు. జెఫన్యా కూషీ కుమారుడు. కూషీ గెదల్యా కుమారుడు. గెదల్యా అమర్యా కుమారుడు. అమర్యా హిజ్కియా కుమారుడు.
സംഗീതസംവിധായകന്. തന്ത്രിനാദത്തോടെ. ആമോന്റെ മകൻ യോശിയാവ് യെഹൂദാരാജാവായിരുന്നകാലത്ത്, കൂശിയുടെ മകൻ സെഫന്യാവിന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട് ലഭിച്ചു. കൂശി ഗെദല്യാവിന്റെ മകനും ഗെദല്യാവ് അമര്യാവിന്റെ മകനും അമര്യാവ് ഹിസ്കിയാവിന്റെ മകനും ആയിരുന്നു.
“ഞാൻ ഭൂമുഖത്തുനിന്ന് സകലത്തെയും നശിപ്പിക്കും,” എന്ന് യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാട്.
3 ౩ మనుషులనేమి పశువులనేమి ఊడ్చివేస్తాను. ఆకాశ పక్షులను, సముద్రంలో చేపలను నాశనం చేస్తాను. దుర్జనులను, వారి శిథిలాలను నేను ఊడ్చివేస్తాను. భూమి మీద ఎవరూ లేకుండా మానవ జాతిని నిర్మూలం చేస్తాను.” ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
“ഞാൻ മനുഷ്യരെയും മൃഗങ്ങളെയും ഉന്മൂലനംചെയ്യും. ആകാശത്തിലെ പറവകളെയും സമുദ്രത്തിലെ മത്സ്യങ്ങളെയും— ദുഷ്ടരുടെ കാലിടറിക്കുന്ന വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളെയും തൂത്തെറിയും.” “ഞാൻ ഭൂമുഖത്തുനിന്ന് സകലമനുഷ്യരെയും ഉന്മൂലനംചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ, ഞാൻ, യെഹൂദയ്ക്കുനേരേയും
4 ౪ “నా హస్తాన్ని యూదా వారి మీద యెరూషలేము నివాసులందరి మీద చాపి, బయలు దేవుడి భక్తుల్లో శేషించిన వారిని, దానికి ప్రతిష్ఠితులైన వారిని, దాని అర్చకులను నిర్మూలం చేస్తాను.
ജെറുശലേമിൽ പാർക്കുന്ന സകലമനുഷ്യർക്കുനേരേയും എന്റെ കരം നീട്ടും,” എന്ന് യഹോവ അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു. “ഞാൻ ഈ ദേശത്തുനിന്നു ബാലിന്റെ ആരാധനയുടെ സകലശേഷിപ്പിനെയും വിഗ്രഹാരാധകരായ പുരോഹിതന്മാരുടെ പേരുകളെയും നീക്കിക്കളയും.
5 ౫ మిద్దెల మీద ఎక్కి ఆకాశ సమూహాలకు మొక్కే వాళ్ళను, యెహోవా పేరును బట్టి ఒట్టు పెట్టుకుంటూ, ఆయన్ని పూజిస్తూ మిల్కోము దేవుడి పేరు స్మరించే వారిని నాశనం చేస్తాను.
പുരമുകളിൽ, നക്ഷത്രസമൂഹത്തെ സേവിച്ചുവണങ്ങുന്നവരെയും യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തിൽ വണങ്ങുന്നവരെയും ശപഥംചെയ്യുന്നവരെയും മോലെക്കിന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ ശപഥംചെയ്യുന്നവരെയും
യഹോവയെ അനുഗമിക്കുന്നതിൽനിന്നു പിന്മാറുന്നവരെയും യഹോവയെ അന്വേഷിക്കുകയോ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യാത്തവരെയുംതന്നെ.”
7 ౭ యెహోవా దినం సమీపించింది. ఆయన బలి సిద్ధపరిచాడు. తాను పిలిచిన వారిని ఆయన ప్రతిష్ఠించాడు. యెహోవా ప్రభువు సన్నిధిలో మౌనంగా ఉండండి.
കർത്താവായ യഹോവയുടെമുമ്പിൽ മൗനമായിരിക്കുക, യഹോവയുടെ ദിവസം സമീപമായിരിക്കുന്നു. യഹോവ ഒരു യാഗം ഒരുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു; താൻ ക്ഷണിച്ചവരെ അവിടന്ന് ശുദ്ധീകരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
8 ౮ “యెహోవాకు బలి అర్పించే దినాన అధిపతులను, రాజకుమారులను విదేశీయుల్లాగా బట్టలు వేసుకునే వారందరినీ నేను శిక్షిస్తాను.
“യഹോവയുടെ യാഗദിവസത്തിൽ ഞാൻ അധികാരങ്ങളെയും രാജാവിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരെയും വൈദേശികവസ്ത്രം ധരിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള എല്ലാവരെയും ശിക്ഷിക്കും.
ആ ദിവസത്തിൽ ഉമ്മറപ്പടി ചാടിക്കടക്കുന്നവരെയും തങ്ങളുടെ ദേവന്മാരുടെ ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങളെ അതിക്രമംകൊണ്ടും വഞ്ചനകൊണ്ടും നിറയ്ക്കുന്നവരെയും ഞാൻ ശിക്ഷിക്കും.”
10 ౧౦ ఆ రోజున చేప ద్వారంలో రోదన ధ్వని, పట్టణం దిగువ భాగంలో అంగలార్పు వినబడుతుంది. కొండల దిక్కు నుండి గొప్ప నాశనం వస్తుంది. ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: “ആ ദിവസം മീൻകവാടത്തിൽനിന്ന് നിലവിളി ഉയരും; പട്ടണത്തിന്റെ പുതിയഭാഗത്തുനിന്ന് വിലാപവും കുന്നുകളിൽനിന്ന് ഝടഝടനാദവും ഉയരും.
11 ౧౧ కనానీయులంతా నాశనమయ్యారు. డబ్బు సమకూర్చుకున్న వారందరూ నిర్మూలమైపోయారు. కాబట్టి మక్తేషు లోయ నివాసులారా, విలపించండి.
മക്തേശ് നിവാസികളേ, വിലപിക്കുക, നിങ്ങളുടെ എല്ലാ കച്ചവടക്കാരും ഉന്മൂലനംചെയ്യപ്പെടും എല്ലാ വെള്ളിവ്യാപാരികളും നശിച്ചുപോകും.
12 ౧౨ ఆ రోజుల్లో నేను దీపాలు చేబూని యెరూషలేమును గాలిస్తాను. పేరుకుపోయిన మడ్డి మీద నిలిచిన ద్రాక్షారసం లాంటివారై “యెహోవా మేలుగానీ కీడుగానీ చేసేవాడు కాడు” అని మనస్సులో అనుకొనే వారిని శిక్షిస్తాను.
ആ കാലത്ത് ഞാൻ ജെറുശലേമിൽ വിളക്കുകൾകൊളുത്തി അന്വേഷിക്കും. നിർവികാരികളെയും ഉന്മത്തരായി കിടന്നുകൊണ്ട്, ‘യഹോവ ഗുണമോ ദോഷമോ ചെയ്യുകയില്ല’ എന്നു പറയുന്നവരെയും ഞാൻ ശിക്ഷിക്കും.
13 ౧౩ వారి ఆస్తి దోపుడు సొమ్ముగా అవుతుంది. వారి ఇళ్ళు పాడైపోతాయి. వారు ఇళ్ళు కట్టుకుంటారు గాని వాటిలో కాపురముండరు. ద్రాక్షతోటలు నాటుతారు గాని వాటి రసం తాగరు.
അവരുടെ സമ്പത്ത് കൊള്ളചെയ്യപ്പെടും അവരുടെ വീടുകൾ ശൂന്യമാക്കപ്പെടും. അവർ വീടുപണിയും എന്നാൽ അവർ അവിടെ പാർക്കുകയില്ല; അവർ മുന്തിരിത്തോട്ടം നട്ടുണ്ടാക്കും എന്നാൽ വീഞ്ഞ് കുടിക്കുകയില്ല.”
14 ౧౪ యెహోవా మహా దినం దగ్గర పడింది. యెహోవా దినం సమీపంగా ఉంది. అతి శీఘ్రంగా వస్తూ ఉంది. వినండి. యెహోవా దినం వచ్చేస్తోంది. పరాక్రమశాలురు వెక్కిళ్ళు పెట్టి ఏడుస్తారు.
യഹോവയുടെ മഹാദിവസം സമീപമായിരിക്കുന്നു— സമീപമായി, അതിവേഗം വരുന്നു. യഹോവയുടെ ദിവസത്തിൽ നിലവിളി ഭയങ്കരമായിരിക്കും; യുദ്ധവീരന്റെ അട്ടഹാസവും അവിടെയുണ്ട്.
15 ౧౫ ఆ దినం ఉగ్రత దినం. బాధ, ఉపద్రవం మహానాశనం కమ్ముకు వచ్చే దినం. అంధకారం, మసక కమ్మే రోజు. మేఘాలు ముసిరి గాఢాంధకారం పొదిగే రోజు.
ആ ദിവസം ക്രോധത്തിന്റെ ദിവസം— കഷ്ടത്തിന്റെയും സങ്കടത്തിന്റെയും ദിവസം, ശൂന്യതയുടെയും നാശത്തിന്റെയും ദിവസം, അന്ധകാരത്തിന്റെയും മ്ലാനതയുടെയും ദിവസം, മേഘങ്ങളുടെയും ഇരുട്ടിന്റെയും ദിവസം—
കോട്ടയുള്ള നഗരങ്ങൾക്കും ചത്വരങ്ങളിലെ ഗോപുരങ്ങൾക്കും എതിരേ കാഹളത്തിന്റെയും യുദ്ധാരവത്തിന്റെയും ദിവസം.
17 ౧౭ ప్రజలు యెహోవా దృష్టికి పాపం చేశారు గనక నేను వారి మీదికి ఉపద్రవం రప్పించబోతున్నాను. వారు గుడ్డివారిలాగా నడుస్తారు. వారి రక్తం దుమ్ములాగా ఒలికిపోతుంది. వారి మాంసాన్ని పెంటలాగా పారేస్తారు.
“ഞാൻ ജനത്തിന്റെമേൽ ദുരിതംവരുത്തും; അവർ അന്ധരെപ്പോലെ തപ്പിത്തടഞ്ഞുനടക്കും. അവർ യഹോവയ്ക്കു വിരോധമായി പാപംചെയ്തിരിക്കുകയാൽ അവരുടെ രക്തം പൊടിപോലെയും അവരുടെ മാംസം ചാണകംപോലെയും ചൊരിയപ്പെടും.
18 ౧౮ యెహోవా ఉగ్రత దినాన వారి వెండి బంగారాలు వారిని తప్పించలేకపోతాయి. రోషాగ్నిచేత భూమంతా దహనం అవుతుంది. హఠాత్తుగా ఆయన భూనివాసులందరినీ సర్వ నాశనం చేయబోతున్నాడు.
യഹോവയുടെ ക്രോധദിവസത്തിൽ അവരുടെ വെള്ളിയോ സ്വർണമോ അവരെ രക്ഷിക്കാൻ പര്യാപ്തമാകുകയില്ല.” അവിടത്തെ തീക്ഷ്ണാഗ്നിയിൽ സർവലോകവും ദഹിച്ചുപോകും. സകലഭൂവാസികളുടെയുംമേൽ അവിടന്ന് ശീഘ്രസംഹാരം വരുത്തും.
