Hosea 10
1 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତା ସଦୃଶ ପ୍ରଚୁର ଫଳ ଧାରଣ କରେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଅଧିକ ଜିନିଷ ଲାଭକଲେ ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ଭଣ୍ତ ଦବେତାଙ୍କ ପୂଜା ପାଇଁ ଅଧିକ ୟଜ୍ଞବଦେୀ ନିର୍ମାଣ କଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର ରାଜ୍ଯ ଅଧିକ ଭଲ ହେଲା। ତେଣୁ ସେ ଭଣ୍ତ ଦବେତାଙ୍କ ପୂଜାଲାଗି ଅତିସୁନ୍ଦର ପଥରମାନ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ।
2 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଠକିବାକୁ ଚୋଷ୍ଟା କଲେ କିନ୍ତୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଦୋଷ ସ୍ବୀକାର କରିବେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ୟଜ୍ଞବଦେୀକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଦବେେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସ୍ମୃତିସ୍ତମ୍ଭକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରି ଦବେେ।
3 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନେ କୁହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ରାଜା ନାହାନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନ କରୁନାହୁଁ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ରାଜା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର କିଛି କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
4 ସମାନେେ ଶପଥ ନିଅନ୍ତୁ କିନ୍ତୁ ସମାନେେ କବଳେ ମିଥ୍ଯା କୁହନ୍ତୁ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶପଥ ରକ୍ଷା କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ଚୁକ୍ତି କରନ୍ତି। ସେଥିପାଇଁ ନ୍ଯାଯ କୃଷିକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ବିଷାକ୍ତ ଅନାବନା ଘାସ ପରି ବଢେ।
5 ଶମରିଯର ଲୋକମାନେ ବୈଥ୍-ଆବନର ବାଛୁରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କରନ୍ତି। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ କାନ୍ଦିବେ। ଯାଜକମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ କାନ୍ଦିବେ। କାହିଁକି? କାରଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସୁନ୍ଦର ପ୍ରତିମା ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲା। ତାକୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ନିଆଗଲା।
6 ଅଶୂରକୁ ମହାନ୍ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଉପହାର ସ୍ବରୂପ ଏହାକୁ ନିଆଗଲା। ସେ ଇଫ୍ରଯିମଙ୍କର ଲଜ୍ଜାଜନକ ପ୍ରତିମା ରଖିବ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ତା'ର ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ପାଇଁ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହବେ।
7 ପାଣି ରେ ଗୋଟିଏ କାଠଖଣ୍ତ ଭାସି ଗଲାପରି, ଶମରିଯାର ରାଜା ଧ୍ବଂସ ହବେେ।
8 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ବହୁ ପାପ କଲା ଏବଂ ବହୁତ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥାନ ନିର୍ମାଣ କଲା। ଆବନ୍ରେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥାନଗୁଡିକ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହବେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ୟଜ୍ଞବଦେୀ ଉପ ରେ କଣ୍ଟା ଓ ଅନାବନା ଘାସ ଜନ୍ମିବ। ତା'ପ ରେ ସମାନେେ ପର୍ବତଗୁଡିକୁ କହିବେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆବୃତ୍ତ କର ଏବଂ ପାହାଡଗୁଡିକୁ କହିବେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପ ରେ ପଡିୟାଅ।
9 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗିବିଯାଙ୍କ ସମୟରୁ ପାପ କରି ଗ୍ଭଲିଛ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଲୋକମାନେ ସଠାେ ରେ ଲଗାତାର ପାପ କରି ଗ୍ଭଲିଛନ୍ତି। ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ସହେି ମନ୍ଦ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗିବିଯା ରେ ଧରିବ।
10 ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦବୋକୁ ଆସିବି। ଦେଶଗୁଡିକୁ ମିଳିତ ଭାବରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଯିବେ। ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଅଧିବାସୀଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଦୁଇଗୁଣା ପାପ ପାଇଁ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦବେେ।
11 ଇଫ୍ରଯିମ ତାଲିମପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ଗାଈ ପରି ଖଳା ରେ ଶସ୍ଯ ଉପ ରେ ବିଚରଣ କରିବାକୁ ଭଲପାଏ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଭଲ ୟୁଆଳି ତା' କାନ୍ଧ ରେ ପକାଇବା। ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାକୁ ଦଉଡି ରେ ବାନ୍ଧିବା। ତା'ପ ରେ ଯିହୁଦା ହଳ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିବ। ଯାକୁବ ନିଜେ ଭୂମିକୁ ଫଟାଇବ।
12 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ଭଲପଣିଆ ବୁଣିବ ତବେେ ପ୍ରକୃତ ପ୍ ରମେ ଅମଳ କରିବ। ଭୂମିକୁ ହଳ କରିବ ଏବଂ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅମଳ କରିବ। ପ୍ରଭୁ ଆସିବେ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପ ରେ ଭଲ ଜିନିଷ ବର୍ଷା ପରି ପକାଇବେ।
13 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମନ୍ଦ ଜିନିଷ ଲଗାଇଲ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦୁଃଖ ଅମଳ କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ମିଥ୍ଯାର ଫଳ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କଲ। କାହିଁକି? କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶକ୍ତି ଓ ସୈନ୍ଯବାହିନୀ ଉପ ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ରଖିଛ।
14 ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସୈନ୍ଯବାହିନୀ ୟୁଦ୍ଧର ଶଦ୍ଦ ଶୁଣିବେଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଦୁର୍ଗ ଧ୍ବଂସ ପାଇବ। ଶଲମନ ବୈଥ୍-ଅରବଲକେୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କଲାପରି ଏହା ଘଟିବ। ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ସମୟରେ ମାଆମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ହତ୍ଯା କରାଗଲା।
15 ବୈଥଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୁଷ୍ଟାମୀ ଯୋଗୁଁ ଏହିପରି ହବେ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସକାଳ ହବେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ରାଜା ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହବେେ।
1 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Job 28 in Tamil and English
1 “এমন জায়গা আছে যেখানে মানুষ রূপো পায়, এমন জায়গা আছে যেখানে মানুষ সোনা গলিযে খাঁটি করে|
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2 মানুষ মাটি খুঁড়ে লোহা বের করে| পাথর গলিযে তামা নিষ্কাসন করে|
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3 কর্মীরা গুহার মধ্যে আলো নিয়ে যায়| ওরা গুহার গভীরে অন্বেষণ করে| গভীর অন্ধকারে ওরা পাথর খোঁজে|
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4 খনি-দণ্ডের ওপর কাজ করবার সময় খনির কর্মীরা গভীর পর্য়ন্ত মাটি খোঁড়ে| মানুষ যেখানে বাস করে তারা তার চেয়েও অনেক গভীর পর্য়ন্ত খোঁড়ে, এমন গভীরে যেখানে লোক আগে কখনও যায় নি| তারা দড়িতে অনেক অনেক গভীর পর্য়ন্ত ঝুলতে থাকে|
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5 মাটির ওপরে ফসল ফলে, কিন্তু মাটির তলা সম্পূর্ণ অন্যরকম, সব কিছুই য়েন আগুনের দ্বারা গলিত হয়ে রযেছে|
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6 মাটির নীচে নীলকান্ত মণি এবং খাঁটি সোনা রযেছে|
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7 বুনো পাখিরা মাটির নীচের পথ সম্পর্কে কিছুই জানে না| কোন শকুন সেই অন্ধকার পথ দেখে নি|
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:
8 বন্য পশুরাও কোন দিন সে পথে হাঁটে নি| সিংহও কোন দিন সেই পথে হাঁটে নি|
The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9 শ্রমিকরা দৃঢ়তম পাথরকেও ভেঙে ফেলে| ঐ শ্রমিকরা সমস্ত পর্বত খুঁড়ে খনি উন্মুক্ত করে|
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10 শ্রমিকরা পাথর কেটে সুড়ঙ্গ তৈরী করে| তারা সব রকমের দামী পাথর দেখতে পায়|
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11 শ্রমিকরা জলকে বাঁধ্বার জন্য বাঁধ তৈরী করে| তারা লুকানো সম্পদকে প্রকাশ্যে নিয়ে আসে|
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12 “কিন্তু প্রজ্ঞা কোথায় খুঁজে পাওয়া যাবে? আমরা কোথায় বোধশক্তি খুঁজতে যাবো?
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13 আমরা জানি না প্রজ্ঞা কি মূল্যবান জিনিস| পৃথিবীর লোক মাটি খুঁড়ে প্রজ্ঞা পেতে পারে না|
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 গভীর মহাসমুদ্র বলে, ‘আমার কাছে প্রজ্ঞা নেই|’ সমুদ্র বলে, ‘আমার কাছে প্রজ্ঞা নেই|’
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15 সব চেয়ে খাঁটি সোনার বিনিময়েও তুমি প্রজ্ঞা কিনতে পারবে না| পৃথিবীতে প্রজ্ঞা কেনার মতো য়থেষ্ট রূপো নেই|
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 ওফীরের সোনা বা অকীক মণি বা নীলকান্ত মণি দিয়েও প্রজ্ঞা কেনা যায় না|
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 প্রজ্ঞা সোনা ও স্?টিকের থেকেও মূল্যবান| এমনকি মূল্যবান রত্নখচিত সোনাও প্রজ্ঞা কিনতে পারে না|
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18 প্রবাল বা মণির চেয়েও প্রজ্ঞা মূল্যবান| মুক্তোর থেকেও প্রজ্ঞা মূল্যবান|
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 কূশদেশীয পোখরাজ মণিও প্রজ্ঞার মতো সমমূল্যের নয়| তুমি খাঁটি সোনা দিয়েও প্রজ্ঞা কিনতে পারবে না|
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 “তাহলে প্রজ্ঞা কোথা থেকে আসে? বোধশক্তি খুঁজতে আমরা কোথায় যাবো?
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 পৃথিবীর প্রত্যেকটি জীবন্ত বিষয়ের থেকেই প্রজ্ঞা নিজেকে লুকিয়ে রেখেছে| আকাশের পাখিরা পর্য়ন্ত প্রজ্ঞাকে দেখতে পায় না|
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 মৃত্যু ও ধ্বংস বলে, ‘আমরা প্রজ্ঞাকে খুঁজে পাই নি| আমরা শুধু তার সম্পর্কে গুঞ্জন শুনেছি|’
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 “একমাত্র ঈশ্বরই প্রজ্ঞার পথ জানেন| একমাত্র ঈশ্বরই জানেন প্রজ্ঞা কোথায় থাকে|
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 ঈশ্বর পৃথিবীর প্রান্ত পর্য়ন্ত দেখতে পান| আকাশের নীচে সব কিছুই ঈশ্বর দেখতে পান|
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25 ঈশ্বর বাযুর গুরুত্ব নিরূপণ করেছেন|
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 তিনিই বৃষ্টির নিয়ম এবং সেখানে কতটা জল থাকবে এবং মেঘ গর্জনের পথ স্থির করেছেন|
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 সেই সময় ঈশ্বর প্রজ্ঞাকে দেখেছিলেন এবং এসম্পর্কে ভেবেছিলেন| ঈশ্বর দেখিয়েছিলেন প্রজ্ঞা কত মূল্যবান| এবং ঈশ্বরই প্রজ্ঞার প্রতীক|”
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28 ঈশ্বর মানুষকে বললেন: “প্রভুকে শ্রদ্ধা করো ও ভয় কর সেটাই প্রজ্ঞা| কোন মন্দ কাজ করো না এটাই সর্বোত্তম উপল?|”
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
