Exodus 17
1 সমস্ত ইস্রায়েলীয়রা একসঙ্গে সীন মরুভূমি থেকে তাদের যাত্রা শুরু করল| প্রভু য়েমনভাবে তাদের নেতৃত্ব দিলেন তারা সেইভাবে এক জায়গা থেকে আর এক জায়গায় য়েতে শুরু করল| ঘুরতে ঘুরতে তারা রফীদীমে গিয়ে শিবির স্থাপন করল| সেখানে কোনও পানীয় জল ছিল না|
2 তাই ঐসব লোকরা আবার মোশির সঙ্গে তর্ক শুরু করল এবং বলল, “আমাদের পানীয় জল দাও|”মোশি তাদের বলল, “তোমরা কেন আমার বিরোধিতা করছো? কেনই বা তোমরা প্রভুকে পরীক্ষা করছো?”
3 কিন্তু লোকরা তখন প্রচণ্ড তৃষ্ণার্ত ছিল| তাই তারা পুনরায় মোশির কাছে নালিশ জানাতে শুরু করল| তারা বলল, “কেন তুমি আমাদের মিশর থেকে বের করে আনলে? তুমি কি আমাদের, আমাদের সন্তানদের এবং গবাদি পশুদের পানীয় জলের অভাবে মারার জন্য মিশর থেকে বের করে নিয়ে এসেছো?”
4 তারপর মোশি প্রভুর কাছে কেঁদে পড়ল এবং বলল, “আমি এদের নিয়ে কি করি? যদি এখুনি কিছু না করা যায তাহলে এরা তো সত্যি সত্যি আমাকে পাথর দিয়ে মেরে ফেলবে|”
5 প্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, “কিছু প্রবীণ নেতাদের নিয়ে ইস্রায়েলের লোকের সামনে গিয়ে দাঁড়াও| সঙ্গে তোমার পথ চলার লাঠিকেও নেবে য়ে লাঠি দিয়ে তুমি নীল নদে আঘাত করেছিলে|
6 আমি তোমার সামনে হোরেব পর্বতের (সীনয় পর্বত) ওপর দাঁড়াব| পথ চলার লাঠি দিয়ে ঐ পাথরে আঘাত করো আর তখনই দেখবে পাথর থেকে জল বেরিয়ে আসছে| ঐ জল লোকরা পান করতে পারবে|”মোশি তাই করল এবং ইস্রায়েলের প্রবীণ নেতারাও তা স্বচক্ষে দেখতে পেল|
7 মোশি ঐ স্থানের নাম দিল মঃসা ও মরীবা, কারণ ঐ স্থানেই ইস্রায়েলের লোকরা তার বিরোধিতা এবং ঈশ্বরের পরীক্ষা নিয়েছিল| লোকজন চেযেছিল প্রভু তাদের সঙ্গে আছেন কিনা তা পরীক্ষা করে দেখতে|
8 সেই সময় অমালেক গোষ্ঠীর লোকরা এল এবং রফীদীমে ইস্রায়েলের লোকদের সঙ্গে যুদ্ধ বাধিয়ে দিল|
9 তখন মোশি যিহোশূয়কে বলল, “কিছু লোককে বেছে নিয়ে আগামীকাল থেকে অমালেকদের সঙ্গে যুদ্ধ করো| আমি তোমাকে পথ চলার লাঠি য়েটাতে ঈশ্বরের পরাক্রম বিদ্যমান, সেইটা নিয়ে পাহাড়ের ওপর থেকে লক্ষ্য করব|”
10 পরদিন যিহোশূয় মোশির আদেশ মেনে যুদ্ধ করতে গেল| একই সমযে মোশি, হারোণ এবং হূর পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় উঠল|
11 যতক্ষণ পর্য়ন্ত মোশি তার হাত তুলে রইল, ইস্রায়েলীয়রা যুদ্ধ জিতছিল, যখন সে তার হাত নামিয়েছিল তখন তারা হেরে যাচ্ছিল|
12 কিছু সময় পরে হাত তুলে থাকতে থাকতে মোশি ক্লান্ত হয়ে উঠল| তখন হারোণ ও হূর একটা বিশাল পাথরে মোশিকে বসিযে তারা উভয়ে মোশির দুদিকে গিয়ে তার হাত তুলে ধরল| সূর্য় না ডোবা পর্য়ন্ত তারা এইভাবেই মোশির হাত দুটোকে তুলে ধরে রইল|
13 আর যিহোশূয় অমালেকদের যুদ্ধে পরাজিত করল|
14 তখন প্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, “এই যুদ্ধ নিয়ে একটা বই লেখ যাতে লোকরা মনে রাখে এখানে কি ঘটেছিল এবং য়িহোশূযের কাছে এটা জোরে পড়ে শোনাও যাতে সে জানতে পারে য়ে আমি অমালেকদের এই পৃথিবী থেকে সম্পূর্ণরূপে নিশ্চিহ্ন করে দেব|”
15 এরপর মোশি একটি বেদী তৈরী করল| সেই বেদীর নাম হল “প্রভুই আমার পতাকা|”
16 মোশি বলল, “আমি প্রভুর সিংহাসনের দিকে হাত বাড়িযে ছিলাম বলেই প্রভু অমালেকদের বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ করেছিলেন, য়েমন তিনি সর্বদা করেন|”
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
5 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
16 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

A Psalm of David.
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ମାେ ସହିତ ବିବାଦ କରୁଛନ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ମାେ ନିମନ୍ତେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କର।
Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଢ଼ାଲ ଓ ସାଞ୍ଜୁ ଉଠାଅ। ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ, ମାରେ ସହାୟ ହୁଅ।
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 ଏକ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା ଓ କୁନ୍ତ ଧର ଓ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ମାେ ପଛରେ ଗୋଡ଼ାଇଛନ୍ତି ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କର। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାରେ ପ୍ରାଣକୁ କୁହ, ୟେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବ।
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 କିଛି ଲୋକ ମାେତେ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନିରାଶ କର ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ କର। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦିଅ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେତେ ବଧ କରିବାକୁ ଯୋଜନା କରୁଥିଲେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କର ଓ ହତୋତ୍ସାହ କର।
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁଷ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ପବନରେ ଉଡ଼ାଇ ନିଅ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଦୂତ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 ସମାନଙ୍କେ ରାସ୍ତାକୁ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ଓ ପିଚ୍ଛିଳ କରିଦିଅ, ୟାହା ଫଳରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଦୂତମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସହଜରେ ଧରି ପାରିବେ।
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 ମୁଁ କୌଣସି ଭୁଲ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରି ନାହିଁ। ତଥାପି ସେ ଲୋକମାନେ ବିନା କାରଣରେ ମାେତେ ୟନ୍ତାରେ ପକାଇବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରିଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ମାେତେ ୟନ୍ତାରେ ପକାଇବାକୁ ଉଦ୍ଯମ କରିଥିଲେ।
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ୟନ୍ତାରେ ପକାଇ ଦିଅ। ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କ ବାନ୍ଧିଥିବା ଜାଲରେ ନିଜେ ଧରା ପଡ଼ନ୍ତୁ। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ଅଜଣା ବିପଦ ମାଡ଼ି ଆସୁ।
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ହବେି। ମୁଁ ଅଧିକ ଖୁସି ହବେି ଯେତବେେଳେ ସେ ମାେତେ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ।
And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 ସେତବେେଳେ ମାରେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଶରୀର କହିବ, ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଭଳି ଆଉ କହେି ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜଣେ ଦୁଃଖୀ ଲୋକକୁ ତାଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ବଳଶାଳୀ ଶତ୍ରୁ କବଳରୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦୁଃଖୀ ଲୋକଟିକୁ ମନ୍ଦ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଖରୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଛନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାକୁ ଲୁଣ୍ଠନ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ।
All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ବିଚାରାଳଯରେ ମିଥ୍ଯା କହନ୍ତି, ମାେତେ ଆଘାତ କରିବାକୁ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ମାେତେ ଅନକେ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚାରିବେ ମୁଁ ସେସବୁ ବିଷଯରେ କିଛି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ।
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 ମୁଁ କବଳେ ଭଲ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ କବଳେ ମନ୍ଦ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦୟାକରି ମାେତେ କବଳେ ଭଲ ଜିନିଷ ଦିଅ, ୟାହା ମାରେ ପ୍ରାପ୍ଯ ଅଟେ।
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 ଯେତବେେଳେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ପୀଡ଼ିତ ଥିଲେ, ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହାଇେଥିଲି। ମୁଁ କିଛି ନ ଖାଇ ମାରେ ସମବଦନୋ ଜଣାଇ ଥିଲି। ଏହା କ'ଣ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଉପୟୁକ୍ତ ପ୍ରତିଦାନ ?
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ଶାେକାତୁର ପୋଷାକ ପିନ୍ଧିଥିଲି। ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମାରେ ଭାଇ ବନ୍ଧୁ ପରି ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିଥିଲି। ମୁଁ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହାଇେଥିଲି ୟପରେି ଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ତା'ର ମା'ର ମୃତ୍ଯୁରେ ଅଧୀର ହାଇେ କ୍ରନ୍ଦନ କରେ। ମୁଁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କଳା ପୋଷାକ ପରିଧାନ କରିଥିଲି, ୟାହା ଶାେକରେ ପ୍ରତୀକ ଅଟେ। ମୁଁ ନତ ମସ୍ତକ ହାଇେ ଶାେକରେ ଅଧୀର ହାଇେ ଚାଲିଥିଲି।
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 ମୁଁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଭୁଲ୍ କରି ବସିଲି, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେତେ ଦେଖି ହସିଲେ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ପ୍ରକୃତ ବନ୍ଧୁ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି। ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସତେ ୟମେିତି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ମାେତେ ଚାରିଆଡ଼ୁ ଘରେି ଆକ୍ରମଣ କଲେ।
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 ସମାନେେ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଅଭଦ୍ର ଭାଷା ପ୍ରଯୋଗ କରି ମାେତେ ପରିହାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଭାଗରେ ଦାନ୍ତ କଡ଼ମଡ଼ କରି ମାେ ଉପରେ ରାଗରେ ଜଳି ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆଉ କେତଦେିନ ଏପରି ଘଟଣା ମାେ ଉପରେ ଘଟୁଥିବ ? ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେତେ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିଦବୋକୁ ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାରେ ପ୍ରାଣକୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଅ। ମାରେ ଅତି ପ୍ରିଯ ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ କବଳରୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର। ସମାନେେ ସିଂହ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବିରାଟ ସମ୍ମିଳନୀ କକ୍ଷରେ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବି। ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବି ମୁଁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗରେ ଥାଏ।
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ବିନା କାରଣରେ ମାେ ସହିତ ଆଉ ପରିହାସ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତାଙ୍କର ଗୋପନ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ପାଇଁ ଦଣ୍ଡିତ ହବେେ।
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ କବେେ ହେଲେ ଶାନ୍ତିର କଥା କହନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ଗୋପନରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ପ୍ରତିଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ମନ୍ଦ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ କଳ୍ପନା କରନ୍ତି।
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ମାେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ମନ୍ଦ କଥାମାନ କହନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ମିଛରେ କହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ କରୁଛ।
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହା ଦେଖୁଅଛ, ୟାହାସବୁ ଘଟି ଯାଉଛି। ତଣେୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନୀରବ ରୁହ ନାହିଁ। ମାେତେ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କର ନାହିଁ।
This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ, ଉଠ। ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଓ ମାରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମାେ ପାଇଁ ସଂଗ୍ରାମ କର ଏବଂ ମାେତେ ନ୍ଯାଯ ପ୍ରଦାନ କର।
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ନ୍ଯାଯରେ ମାରେ ବିଚାର କର। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାେତେ ପରିହାସ କରିବାକୁ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ।
Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ, ୟାହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଚାହିଁଥିଲୁ ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ପାଇଲୁ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ସମାନେେ କୁହନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିଛୁ।
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରୁଛି ମାରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହବେେ ଓ ନିରାଶ ହବେେ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ମାେ ଉପରେ ବିପଦ ପଡ଼େ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଖୁସି ହୁଅନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଭାବନ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ମାଠାରୁେ ଭଲ। ତଣେୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମୁହଁ ଲଜ୍ଜା ଓ କାଳିମାରେ ଘାଡ଼ୋଇ ହାଇଯୋଉ।
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 କିଛି ଲୋକ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି ଭଲ ଘଟଣା ମାେ ଜୀବନରେ ଘଟୁ। ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରେ, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଅତି ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ଅଟନ୍ତି। କାରଣ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ସର୍ବଦା କୁହନ୍ତି, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ମହାନ୍। ସେ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି ତାଙ୍କର ଭୃତ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କର ସର୍ବଦା ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ।
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 ତଣେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କ ହେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେତେ ମହାନ୍ ଅଟ। ମୁଁ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରେ।
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
