Isaiah 30
1 ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ ਮਿਸਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਵੱਲ ਦੇਖੋ। ਇਹ ਮੇਰਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਨਦੇ। ਇਹ ਯੋਜਨਾਵਾਂ ਬਣਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਾਸੋਂ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ। ਇਹ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਇਕਰਾਰਨਾਮਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਪਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਆਤਮਾ ਉਹ ਇਕਰਾਰਨਾਮਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ। ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਆਪਣੇ ਗੁਨਾਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੋਰ-ਹੋਰ ਗੁਨਾਹ ਸ਼ਾਮਿਲ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।
2 ਇਹ ਬੱਚੇ ਮਿਸਰ ਵੱਲ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਲਈ ਜਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਪਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਸਹੀ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਉਮੀਦ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਫ਼ਿਰਊਨ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਉਹ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਮਿਸਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
3 “ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਦੱਸਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਮਿਸਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੁਕੱਣ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਮਿਸਰ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸੱਕੇਗਾ।
4 ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਆਗੂ ਸੋਆਨ ਨੂੰ ਚੱਲੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਦੂਤ ਹਾਨੇਸ ਨੂੰ ਚੱਲੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ।
5 ਪਰ ਉਹ ਨਾ ਉਮੀਦ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਉਹ ਉਸ ਕੌਮ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਰਭਰ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੀ। ਮਿਸਰ ਬੇਕਾਰ ਹੈ-ਮਿਸਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ। ਮਿਸਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਨਮੋੋਸ਼ੀ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਰਮਸਾਰੀ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।”
6 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦਾ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਨਿਜੀਵ ਦੇ ਜਾਨਵਰਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਉਦਾਸ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼: ਨਿਜੀਵ ਇੱਕ ਖਤਰਨਾਕ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਸ਼ੇਰਾਂ, ਜ਼ਹਿਰੀਲੇ ਸੱਪਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ਨੀਅਰ ਸੱਪਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਭਰੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਕੁਝ ਲੋਕ ਨਿਜੀਵ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਯਾਤਰਾ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਕੌਮ ਵੱਲ ਜਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਜੋ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੀ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਖਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਊਠਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਿੱਠਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਲਦਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਇਸਦਾ ਅਰਬ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਲੋਕ ਉਸ ਕੌਮ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਰਭਰ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੀ।
7 ਇਹ ਬੇਕਾਰ ਕੌਮ ਮਿਸਰ ਹੈ। ਮਿਸਰ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਕੰਮ ਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਮਿਸਰ ਨੂੰ “ਨਿਕਂਮਾ ਅਜਗਰ” ਆਖਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
8 ਹੁਣ ਇਸ ਗੱਲ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਸੰਕੇਤ ਉੱਤੇ ਲਿਖ ਲਵੋ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖ ਸੱਕਣ। ਭਵਿੱਖ ਵਾਸਤੇ, ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਕਿਤਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਿਖ ਲਵੋ ਆਖਰੀ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਯਾਦਗਾਰੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਘਟਨਾਵਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਭਵਿੱਖਬਾਣੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੀ।
9 ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਵ੍ਵਰਗੇ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਾਪਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਆਖਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਨਦੇ। ਉਹ ਪਏ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਨੇ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਿੱਖਿਆਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਨ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।
10 ਉਹ ਨਬੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਦੇ ਹਨ, “ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਨਾ ਲਵੋ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਕਰਨੀਆਂ ਚਾਹੀਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ! ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੱਚ ਨਾ ਦੱਸੋ! ਸਾਨੂੰ ਚੰਗੀਆਂ-ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਸੁਣਾਓ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਚੰਗਾ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰਨ ਦਿਓ! ਸਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਦੇਖੋ!
11 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖਣ ਤੋਂ ਹਟ੍ਟ ਜਾਵੋ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਵਾਪਰਨਗੀਆਂ! ਸਾਡੇ ਰਸਤੇ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਹਟ੍ਟ ਜਾਵੋ! ਸਾਨੂੰ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਪੁਰੱਖ ਬਾਰੇ ਦੱਸਣੋ ਹਟ ਜਾਵੋ।”
12 ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦਾ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਪੁਰੱਖ (ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ) ਆਖਦੀ ਹੈ। “ਤੁਸਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲੋਕ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਲਈ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਲੜਾਈ ਝਗੜ੍ਹੇ ਅਤੇ ਝੂਠ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਰਭਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਹੋ।
13 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਹੋ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਸ ਉੱਚੀ ਕੰਧ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋ ਜਿਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਤ੍ਰੇੜਾਂ ਹਨ। ਉਹ ਕੰਧ ਅਚਾਨਕ ਢਹਿ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ-ਟੁਕੜੇ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।
14 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਦੇ ਉਸ ਘੜੇ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਟੁੱਟ ਕੇ ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਠੀਕਰੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਿਖਰ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਠੀਕਰੀਆਂ ਬੇਕਾਰ ਹੁੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਠੀਕਰੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਅੱਗ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜਲਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਕੋਲੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਚੁੱਕ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਜਾਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਉਤ੍ਤਲੇ ਤਲਾਬ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਪਾਣੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੱਢ ਸੱਕਦੇ।”
15 ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦਾ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਪੁਰੱਖ, ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ, “ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਵੱਲ ਪਰਤ ਆਓਗੇ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਬਚ ਜਾਓਗੇ। ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਤਾਕਤ ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ ਜੇਕਰ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਾਤ ਹੋਵੋਂਗੇ।” ਪਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ! ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਖਦੇ ਹੋ, “ਸਾਨੂੰ ਅਗਾਂਹ ਵੱਲ ਭੱਜ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਘੋੜੇ ਚਾਹੀਦੇ ਨੇ!” ਇਹ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ।
16 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਘੋੜਿਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਸਵਾਰ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਭੱਜ ਜਾਵੋਗੇ। ਪਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਪਿੱਛਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਅਤੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਘੋੜਿਆਂ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਤੇਜ਼ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
17 ਇੱਕ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਧਮਕੀਆਂ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਬੰਦੇ ਭੱਜ ਜਾਣਗੇ। ਪੰਜ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਧਮਕੀਆਂ ਦੇਣਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਭੱਜ ਜਾਵੋਂਗੇ ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਚਿਰ ਤੱਕ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਪਰਬਤ ਦੀ ਚੋਟੀ ਗੱਡੇ ਝੰਡੇ, ਪਹਾੜੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਬੈਨਰ ਵਾਂਗ ਇੱਕਲੇ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਵੋ।
18 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਿਹਰ ਦਰਸਾਉਣੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਇੰਤਜ਼ਾਰ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉੱਠਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਆਰਾਮ ਦੇਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਬੇਲਾਗ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਹਰ ਉਹ ਬੰਦਾ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਦਾ ਇੰਤਜ਼ਾਰ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਸ ਮਿਲੇਗੀ।
19 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਸੀਯੋਨ ਪਰਬਤ ਉੱਤੇ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿਣਗੇ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲੋਕ ਰੋਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹੋਗੇ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਵਿਰਲਾਪ ਸੁਣੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਸੁਣੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
20 ਅਤੀਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਦੁੱਖ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ ਇਹ ਉਸ ਰੋਟੀ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਰਗਾ ਸੀ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਰੋਜ਼ ਖਾਧਾ ਸੀ। ਪਰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਛੁਪਿਆ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹੇਗਾ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਦੇਖੋਗੇ।
21 ਫ਼ੇਰ, ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਬੁਰਾ ਕਰੋਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਗ਼ਲਤ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਜੀਵੋਗੇ। (ਸੱਜੇ ਜਾਂ ਖੱਬੇ ਪਾਸੇ,) ਤਾਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਇਹ ਆਖਦੀ ਹੋਈ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਸੁਣੋਗੇ, “ਇਹ ਰਸਤਾ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ। ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਸੇ ਰਸਤੇ ਜਾਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ!”
22 ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਸੋਨੇ ਅਤੇ ਚਾਂਦੀ ਨਾਲ ਮੜੀਆਂ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਮੂਰਤੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਝੂਠੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਨੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਾਪੀ ਬਣਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਝੂਠੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਨੀ ਬੰਦ ਕਰ ਦਿਓਗੇ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਝੂਠੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਰੱਦੀ ਕਪੜਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਪਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਸੁੱਟ ਦਿਓਗੇ।
23 ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਵਰੱਖਾ ਭੇਜੇਗਾ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੀਜ ਬੀਜੋਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਅਨਾਜ ਉਗਾਵੇਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੰਗੀ ਫ਼ਸਲ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪਾਸ ਖੇਤਾਂ ਅੰਦਰ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪਸ਼ੂਆਂ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਚਾਰਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਭੇਡਾਂ ਲਈ ਵੱਡੇ-ਵੱਡੇ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਹੋਣਗੇ।
24 ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪਸ਼ੂ ਅਤੇ ਗਧੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਪੂਰਾ ਭੋਜਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨਗੇ। ਉਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਭੋਜਨ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਸ਼ੂਆਂ ਦੇ ਖਾਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਭੋਜਨ ਨੂੰ ਖਿਲਾਰਨ ਲਈ ਕਹੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਸਲਂਗਾਂ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਪਵੇਗੀ।
25 ਹਰ ਪਰਬਤ ਅਤੇ ਪਹਾੜੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਨਾਲ ਭਰੇ ਹੋਏ ਝਰਨੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਇਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਉਦੋਂ ਵਾਪਰਨਗੀਆਂ ਜਦੋਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕ ਮਾਰੇ ਜਾਣਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਮੁਨਾਰੇ ਢਾਹ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਜਾਣਗੇ।
26 ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ, ਚਂਦਰਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਸੂਰਜ ਵਰਗੀ ਚਮਕੀਲੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਸੂਰਜ ਦੀ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਹੁਣ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਸੱਤ ਗੁਣਾ ਵੱਧ ਚਮਕਦਾਰ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਸੂਰਜ ਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਦੀ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਸੱਤਾਂ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਰਾਬਰ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਇਹ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਉਦੋਂ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ ਜਦੋਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਫ਼ੱਟੜ ਹੋਏ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਟ੍ਟੀਆਂ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਜ਼ਖਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਜ਼ੀ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
27 ਦੇਖੋ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਦੂਰੋ ਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਉਸਦਾ ਕਹਿਰ ਧੂਏਂ ਦੇ ਮੋਟੇ ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਅੱਗ ਵਰਗਾ ਹੈ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਮੁੱਖ ਕਰੋਧ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਜੀਭ ਬਲਦੀ ਅੱਗ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੈ।
28 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਆਤਮਾ ਇੱਕ ਮਹਾਂ ਨਦੀ ਵਰਗਾ ਹੈ। ਗਲ-ਗਲ ਤਾਂਈਁ ਚੜ੍ਹਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦਾ ਨਿਆਂ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਇਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਬੇਕਾਰ ਝਾਨਣੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਚਣ ਵਾਂਗ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਉਹ ਇੱਕ ਨੱਬ, ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਬਾੜਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਵੇਗਾ, ਜੋ ਜਾਨਵਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਕਾਬੂ ਰੱਖਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਤਬਾਹੀ ਵੱਲ ਅਗਵਾਈ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
29 ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ ਗਾਓਗੇ। ਉਹ ਸਮਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਰਾਤਾਂ ਵਰਗਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਛੁੱਟੀ ਤੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਪਰਬਤ ਵੱਲ ਤੁਰੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੋ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੀ ਚੱਟਾਨ ਵੱਲ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਉਪਾਸਨਾ ਲਈ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਤੇ ਵੰਝਲੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਬਹੁਤ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੋ।
30 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਸਮੂਹ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਹਾਨ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਸੁਣਾਵੇਗਾ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਸਮੂਹ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਆਪਣਾ ਬਾਜ਼ੂ ਦਿਖਾਵੇਗਾ। ਉਹ ਬਾਜ਼ੂ ਉਸ ਮਹਾ ਅਗਨੀ ਵਰਗਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸਾੜ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਵਰੱਖਾ ਅਤੇ ਗੜਿਆਂ ਵਾਲੇ ਮਹਾ ਤੂਫ਼ਾਨ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ।
31 ਅੱਸ਼ੂਰ ਜਦੋਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਸੁਣੇਗਾ ਤਾਂ ਭੈਭੀਤ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅੱਸ਼ੂਰ ਨੂੰ ਸੋਟੀ ਨਾਲ ਮਾਰੇਗਾ।
32 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅੱਸ਼ੂਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਢੋਲ ਨਗਾਰਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅੱਸ਼ੂਰ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਬਾਜ਼ੂ ਨਾਲ ਹਰਾ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ।
33 ਸਿਵਾ ਨੂੰ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਚਿਰ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਹੀ ਤਿਆਰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਰਾਜੇ ਲਈ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਡੂੰਘਾ ਅਤੇ ਚੌੜਾ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਓੱਥੇ ਲੱਕੜੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਅੱਗ ਦਾ ਵੱਡਾ ਢੇਰ ਹੈ। ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਆਤਮਾ ਬਲਦੀ ਹੋਈ ਗੰਧਕ ਦੀ ਨਦੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਆਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਾੜ ਸੁੱਟੇਗਾ।
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
18 And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
2 Kings 15 in Tamil and English
1 ఇశ్రాయేలురాజైన యరొబాము ఏలుబడిలో ఇరువది మూడవ సంవత్సరమందు యూదారాజైన అమజ్యా కుమారుడైన అజర్యాయేలనారంభించెను.
In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2 అతడు పదునా రేండ్లవాడై యేలనారంభించి యెరూషలేమునందు ఏబది రెండు సంవత్సరములు రాజుగా ఉండెను; అతని తల్లి యెరూషలేము కాపురస్థురాలైన యెకొల్యా.
Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
3 ఇతడు తన తండ్రియైన అమజ్యా చర్య యంతటిప్రకారము యెహోవా దృష్టికి నీతిగలవాడై ప్రవర్తించెను.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
4 ఉన్నత స్థలములను మాత్రము కొట్టి వేయలేదు; ఉన్నత స్థలముల యందు జనులు ఇంకను బలులు అర్పించుచు ధూపము వేయుచు ఉండిరి.
Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
5 యెహోవా ఈ రాజును మొత్తినందున అతడు మరణమగువరకు కుష్ఠరోగియై ప్రత్యేక ముగా ఒక నగరులో నివసించెను గనుక రాజకుమారుడైన యోతాము నగరుమీద అధికారియై దేశపు జనులకు న్యాయము తీర్చువాడుగా ఉండెను.
And the Lord smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
6 అజర్యా చేసిన యితర కార్యములనుగూర్చియు, అతడు చేసిన దాని నంత టినిగూర్చియు యూదారాజుల వృత్తాంతముల గ్రంథ మందు వ్రాయబడి యున్నది.
And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
7 అజర్యా తన పితరు లతోకూడ నిద్రించి దావీదు పురములో తన పితరుల సమాధియందు పాతిపెట్టబడగా అతని కుమారుడైన యోతాము అతనికి మారుగా రాజాయెను.
So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
8 యూదారాజైన అజర్యా యేలుబడిలో ముప్పది యెనిమిదవ సంవత్సరమందు యరొబాము కుమారుడైన జెకర్యా షోమ్రోనులో ఇశ్రాయేలువారిని ఆరునెలలు ఏలెను.
In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
9 ఇతడు ఇశ్రాయేలువారు పాపము చేయుటకు కారకుడగు నెబాతు కుమారుడైన యరొబాము చేసిన పాపములను విడువక అనుసరించుచు, తన పితరులు చేసి నట్లుగా తానును యెహోవా దృష్టికి చెడుతనము జరి గించెను.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
10 యాబేషు కుమారుడైన షల్లూము అతనిమీద కుట్రచేసి, జనులు చూచుచుండగా అతనిమీద పడి అతనిని చంపి అతనికి మారుగా రాజాయెను.
And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
11 జెకర్యా చేసిన కార్యములనుగూర్చి ఇశ్రాయేలురాజుల వృత్తాంతముల గ్రంథమందు వ్రాయబడియున్నది.
And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12 నీ కుమారులు నాలుగవ తరమువరకు ఇశ్రాయేలు సింహాసనముమీద ఆసీనులై యుందురని యెహోవా యెహూతో సెలవిచ్చిన మాటచొప్పున ఇది జరిగెను.
This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
13 యూదారాజైన ఉజ్జియా యేలుబడిలో ముప్పది తొమి్మదవ సంవత్సరమందు యాబేషు కుమారుడైన షల్లూము ఏలనారంభించి షోమ్రోనులో నెల దినములు ఏలెను.
Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
14 గాదీ కుమారుడైన మెనహేము తిర్సాలోనుండి బయలుదేరి షోమ్రోనునకు వచ్చి షోమ్రోనులోనుండు యాబేషు కుమారుడైన షల్లూముమీద పడి అతని చంపి అతనికి మారుగా రాజాయెను.
For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
15 షల్లూము చేసిన యితర కార్య ములనుగూర్చియు, అతడు చేసిన కుట్రనుగూర్చియు ఇశ్రాయేలురాజుల వృత్తాంతముల గ్రంథమందు వ్రాయ బడియున్నది.
And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
16 మెనహేము రాగా తిప్సహు పట్టణపు వారు తమ గుమ్మములు తీయలేదు గనుక అతడు వారినంద రిని హతము చేసి, తిర్సాను దాని చేరువ గ్రామములనన్నిటిని కొల్లపెట్టి అచ్చట గర్భిéణులందరి గర్భములను చింపెను.
Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
17 యూదారాజైన అజర్యా యేలుబడిలో ముప్పదితొమి్మ దవ సంవత్సరమందు గాదీ కుమారుడైన మెనహేము ఇశ్రాయేలువారిని ఏలనారంభించి షోమ్రోనులో పది సంవత్సరములు ఏలెను.
In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
18 ఇతడును తన దినములన్నియు ఇశ్రాయేలువారు పాపము చేయుటకు కారకుడగు నెబాతు కుమారుడైన యరొబాము చేసిన పాపములను విడువక యనుసరించుచు యెహోవా దృష్టికి చెడుతనము జరిగించెను.
