1 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯାହା କିଛି କହୁଛୁ, ତାର ସାର ମର୍ମ ହେଲା ଯେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଏଭଳି ଜଣେ ମହାୟାଜକ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ଯେ ସ୍ବର୍ଗର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସିଂହାସନର ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ପାଶର୍ବ ରେ ବସି ଅଛନ୍ତି।
2 ଆମ୍ଭର ମହାୟାଜକ ମହାପବିତ୍ର ସ୍ଥାନ311 ରେ ସବୋ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରନ୍ତି। ସେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ନିର୍ମିତ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ନିର୍ମିତ ସହେି ଉପାସନା ସ୍ଥଳ ରେ ସବୋ କରନ୍ତି।
3 ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଦାନ ଓ ବଳି ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ମହାୟାଜକଙ୍କ କାମ ଅଟେ। ଅତଏବ ଆମ୍ଭର ମହାୟାଜକ ମଧ୍ଯ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ କିଛି ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବା କଥା।
4 ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭର ମହାୟାଜକ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ଏବେ ଜୀବିତ ଥାଆନ୍ତେ, ତା' ହେଲେ ସେ ଯାଜକ ହାଇେ ପାରି ନ ଥାନ୍ତେ। ମାରେ କହିବାର କାରଣ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଅନୁସାରେ ବଳି ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରୁଥିବା ଯାଜକମାନେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
5 ଏହି ଯାଜକମାନେ ଯେଉଁ କାମ କରନ୍ତି, ତାହା ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ରେ ଥିବା କାମଗୁଡ଼ିକର ଛାଯା ଓ ନମୁନା ମାତ୍ର। ସେଥିପାଇଁ ମାଶାେ ତମ୍ମୁ312 ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିବାକୁ ଗଲା ବେଳେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଚତାବେନୀ ଦଇେ କହିଥିଲେ : ପର୍ବତ ଉପରେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଯେଉଁ ନମୁନା ଦଖାଇେ ଥିଲି, ତଦନୁସା ରେ ସମସ୍ତ ନିର୍ମାଣ କର।313
6 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁ କାମ କରିବାକୁ ଦିଆ ହାଇେଛି ତାହା ସହେି ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ କାମଠାରୁ ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତର। ସେପ୍ରକା ରେ, ଯୀଶୁଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ମାଧ୍ଯମ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆପଣା ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି କରିଥିବା ନୂତନ ନିୟମ ପୁରାତନ ନିୟମ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟ ଅଟେ। ଏହି ନୂତନ ନିୟମ ଅପେକ୍ଷାକୃତ ଉତ୍ତମ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ସମ୍ବଳିତ ଅଟେ।
7 ଯଦି ପ୍ରଥମ ନିୟମ ରେ କୌଣସି ଦୋଷ ନ ଥାନ୍ତା ତା' ହେଲେ ସଠାେରେ ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ନିୟମର ଆବଶ୍ଯକତା ନ ଥାନ୍ତା।
8 କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠା ରେ ତୃଟି ଦେଖିଲେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହିଲେ :
9 ତାହାଙ୍କ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ନିୟମ କରିଥିଲୁ ସେ ଅନୁସାରେ ହବେ ନାହିଁ। ସହେି ନିୟମ ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ହାତ ଧରିଲା ବେଳେ ଓ ମିଶର ଦେଶରୁ ଆଣିଥିଲା ବେଳେ କରିଥିଲି। ପ୍ରଭୁ କୁହନ୍ତି : ମୁଁ ଦଇେଥିବା ଚୁକ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ପାଳନ କରିବା ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଦେଲେ, ଓ ମୁଁ ନିଜକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେଠାରୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ଆଣିଲି।
10 ଏହି ନୂତନ ନିୟମଟି ମୁଁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକଙ୍କ ସହତ କରିବି, ଏହି ନିୟମଟି ମୁଁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ରେ କରିବି ପ୍ରଭୁ କୁହନ୍ତି : ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମନ ରେ ଆପଣା ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଦବେି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ହୃଦୟ ରେ ସହେିସବୁ ଲେଖିବି। ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ହବେି, ଓ ସମାନେେ ମାରେ ଲୋକ ହବେେ।
11 ଏହାପରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର କହେି ନଜ ଭାଇ ବା ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଅନ୍ଯଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦବେେ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ କିଛି କହିବା ଆବଶ୍ଯକ ହବେ ନାହିଁ, କାହିଁକି ? କାରଣ ସାନଠାରୁ ବଡ଼ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ମାେତେ ଜାଣିବେ।
12 ଓ ମାେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କରିଥିବା ଦୋଷ ସବୁ ମୁଁ କ୍ଷମା କରି ଦବେି, ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାପଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଆଉ ଅଧିକ ମନେ ରଖିବି ନାହିଁ। ୟିରିମିୟ 31:31-34
13 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏହାକୁ ନୂତନ ନିୟମ ବୋଲି କହି, ପ୍ରଥମ ନିୟମଟିକୁ ପୁରାତନ ନିୟମ କରି ଅଛନ୍ତି। ଯେଉଁ ବିଷୟସବୁ ପୁରାତନ ଓ ଅକାମୀ ହାଇଯୋଇଛି, ତାହା ଅତିଶୀଘ୍ର ଲୋପ ପାଇୟିବ।
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
2 Kings 24 in Tamil and English
1 যিহোয়াকীমের রাজত্বকালে বাবিল-রাজ নবূখদ্নিত্সর যিহূদায় আসেন| তিন বছর তাঁর বশ্যতা স্বীকার করার পর যিহোয়াকীম তাঁর বিরুদ্ধে বিদ্রোহ করেন|
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 প্রভু বাবিলীয, অরামীয়, মোয়াবীয়, অম্মোনীয়দের দলকে যিহোয়াকীমের বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ করিযে তাঁকে ধ্বংস করতে পাঠিয়েছিলেন| প্রভু তাঁর সেবক ভাব্বাদীদের মুখ দিয়ে করা ভবিষ্যত্বাণী অনুযায়ীএই সমস্ত শএুদের যিহূদা ধ্বংস করার জন্য পাঠান|
And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
3 এই ভাবেই প্রভু যিহূদাকে তাঁর চোখের সামনে থেকে সরিয়ে দেবার পরিকল্পনা করেন| মনঃশির পাপাচরণের জন্যই প্রভু এ সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিলেন|
Surely at the commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
4 মনঃশি বহু নিরীহ লোককে হত্যা করে জেরুশালেম রক্তে পরিপূর্ণ করেছিলেন যা প্রভু কখনও ক্ষমা করেন নি|
And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon.
5 যিহোয়াকীম অন্যান্য য়ে সমস্ত কাজ করেছিলেন সে সবই ‘যিহূদার রাজাদের ইতিহাস’ গ্রন্থে লিপিবদ্ধ আছে|
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 যিহোয়াকীমের মৃত্যুর পর তাঁকে তাঁর পূর্বপুরুষদের সঙ্গে সমাধিস্থ করা হয়| তাঁর পরে, তাঁর পুত্র যিহোয়াখীন নতুন রাজা হলেন|
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
7 এদিকে বাবিল-রাজ মিশরের খাঁড়ি থেকে শুরু করে ফরাত্ নদী পর্য়ন্ত সমস্ত অঞ্চল দখল করায মিশর-রাজ তাঁর দেশ ছেড়ে আর বেরোনোর চেষ্টাই করেন নি| এই সমস্ত অঞ্চলই আগে তাঁর শাসনাধীন ছিল|
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
8 যিহোয়াখীন 18 বছর বযসে রাজা হবার পর মাত্র তিন মাস জেরুশালেমে রাজত্ব করেছিলেন| তাঁর মা ছিলেন জেরুশালেমের ইল্নাথনের কন্যা নহুষ্টা|
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 যিহোয়াখীন তাঁর পিতার মতই প্রভু য়ে সমস্ত কাজ করতে বারণ করেছিলেন, সেই সব কাজ করেছিলেন|
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
10 সেই সময়, নবূখদ্নিত্সরের সেনাপতিরা এসে চারপাশ থেকে জেরুশালেম ঘিরে ফেলেছিলেন|
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 তারপর নবূখদ্নিত্সর বয়ং শহরে আসেন|
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
12 যিহূদার রাজা যিহোয়াখীন তাঁর মা, সেনাপতিদের, নেতাদের ও আধিকারিকদের সকলকে নিয়ে তাঁর সঙ্গে দেখা করতে গেলে বাবিলরাজ তাঁকে বন্দী করেন| নবূখদ্নিত্সরের শাসন কালের অষ্টম বছরে এই ঘটনা ঘটেছিল|
And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 নবূখদ্নিত্সর জেরুশালেমের প্রভুর মন্দির ও রাজপ্রাসাদ থেকে সমস্ত সম্পদ অপহরণ করে নিয়ে যান| রাজা শলোমন প্রভুর মন্দিরে য়ে সমস্ত সোনার থালা বসিযেছিলেন, প্রভুর ভবিষ্যত্বাণী অনুযাযীই নবূখদ্নিত্সর মন্দির থেকে সে সমস্ত থালা খুলে নিয়ে গিয়েছিলেন|
And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
14 নবূখদ্নিত্সর নেতা ও ধনীলোক সহ জেরুশালেম থেকে 10,000 ব্যক্তিকে বন্দী করে নিয়ে যান| হতদরিদ্র লোক ছাড়া, কারিগর থেকে শ্রমিক সমস্ত লোককেই তিনি বন্দী করেন|
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15 রাজা যিহোয়াখীন ও তাঁর মা, স্ত্রীদের, আধিকারিক ও প্রতিপত্তিশালী ব্যক্তিদের বন্দী করে বাবিলে নিয়ে গিয়েছিলেন|
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 মোট 7,000 দক্ষ সৈনিক ও 1,000 কুশলী কারিগরকে বাবিলরাজ নবূখদ্নিত্সর বাবিলে বন্দী করে নিয়ে যান|
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 বাবিল-রাজ নবূখদ্নিত্সর, যিহোয়াখীনের কাকা মত্তনিয়ের নাম পালেট সিদিকিয় রেখে তাঁকে রাজা করেছিলেন|
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 সিদিকিয় 21 বছর বযসে রাজা হয়ে 11 বছর জেরুশালেমে রাজত্ব করেন| তাঁর মা ছিলেন লিব্নার য়িরমিযের কন্যা হমূটল|
Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 যিহোয়াখীনের মতই সিদিকিয়, প্রভু যা কিছু করতে বারণ করেছিলেন সে সমস্ত কাজই করেছিলেন|
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 জেরুশালেম ও যিহূদার ওপর প্রভু এত রুদ্ধ হয়েছিলেন য়ে প্রভু এই দুই দেশকে তাঁর চোখের সামনে থেকে মুছে ফেলেন|সিদিকিয় বাবিল-রাজের কর্ত্তত্ব অস্বীকার করেছিলেন|
For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
