ମାଥିଉଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 9

1 ଯୀଶୁ ନେ ୗକା ରେ ବସି ହ୍ରଦର ଆର ପଟେ ଥିବା ନିଜ ନଗରକୁ ଫରେିଗଲେ।

2 କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଜଣେ ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀକୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିଲେ। ସେ ରୋଗୀଟି ଶୟେ ରେ ଶାଇେଥିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଗଭୀର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ସେ ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀକୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ୟୁବକ! ସାହସ ରଖ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସବୁ ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରାଗଲା।

3 କେତକେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଏହା ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ଭିତ ରେ କୁହାକୁହି ହେଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକଟି ଏମିତି କଥା କହୁଛି, ସତେ ଯେପରି ସେ ନିଜେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର। ଏହାଦ୍ବାରା ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିନ୍ଦା କରୁଛି।

4 ସମାନେେ ଯାହା ଭାବୁଥିଲେ, ଯୀଶୁ ତାହା ଜାଣି ପାରିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମନ ଭିତ ରେ ମନ୍ଦ ଭାବନା କାହିଁକି ଆଣୁଛ?

5 ଏହି ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀଟିକୁ କେଉଁ ବିଷୟଟି କହିବା ଅଧିକ ସହଜ ହବେ: 'ତୁମ୍ଭର ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରି ଦିଆଗଲା' ନା 'ଉଠ, ଚାଲିବା ଆରମ୍ଭ କର'?

6 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖଇେ ଦବେି ଯେ, ଏ ଜଗତ ରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କର ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରିଦବୋର ଶକ୍ତି ଅଛି। ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀଟିକୁ କହିଲେ, ଉଠ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଛଣା ଧରି ଘରକୁ ଯାଅ।'

7 ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀଟି ଉଠି ଘରକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲା।

8 ଜମା ହାଇେଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଏ କଥା ଦେଖି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଜଣେ ମଣିଷକୁ ଏପରି ଶକ୍ତି ଦଇେଥିବାରୁ ସମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ମହିମା ଗାନ କଲେ।

9 ଯୀଶୁ ସଠାରୁେ ଯାଉଯାଉ ଦେଖିଲେ ଯେ କର ଆଦାୟ କନ୍େଦ୍ର ରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ବସିଛନ୍ତି। ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମ ଥିଲା ମାଥିଉ। ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ଅନୁସରଣ କର। ମାଥିଉ ଉଠି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ଅନୁଗମନ କଲେ।

10 ଯୀଶୁ ମାଥିଉଙ୍କ ଘ ରେ ଖାଉଥିଲେ। ସେ ଖାଇବା ବେଳେ ଅନକେ କର ଆଦାୟକାରୀ ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ ପାପୀମାନେ ସଠାେରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଅନୁଗାମୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ଖାଇଲେ।

11 ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ଏହା ଦେଖି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଅନୁଗାମୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଗୁରୁ କର ଆଦାୟକାରୀ ଓ ପାପୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କାହିଁକି ଖାଉଛନ୍ତି?

12 ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ କଥା ଶୁଣି ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଜଣେ ସୁସ୍ଥ ଲୋକ ପାଇଁ ଡାକ୍ତର ଆବଶ୍ଯକ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଜଣେ ରୋଗୀ ପାଇଁ ଡାକ୍ତର ଦରକାର।

13 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ କଥା କହିବି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାଇ ବୁଝ ଯେ ଏହି ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ବାକ୍ଯର ଅର୍ଥ କ'ଣ: 'ମୁଁ ପଶୁବଧ ଚା ହେଁ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତ ରେ ଦୟାଭାବ ଗ୍ଭ ହେଁ।' ମୁଁ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଡାକିବାକୁ ଆସି ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ପାପୀ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଡାକିବାକୁ ଆସିଛି।

14 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଓ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ଅଧିକାଂଶ ସମୟରେ ଉପବାସ କରୁଛୁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଉପବାସ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ କାହିଁକି?

15 ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ବର ଯେପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍େତ ବରଯାତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିବ, ସେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବରଯାତ୍ରୀମାନେ ଦୁଃଖ କରିବେ କି? କିନ୍ତୁ ଦିନ ଆସିବ ବରକୁ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଛଡଇେ ନିଆୟିବ। ସେତବେେଳେ ବରଯାତ୍ରୀମାନେ ଦୁଃଖୀ ହବେେ। ତାପରେ ସମାନେେ ଉପବାସ କରିବେ।

16 କହେି କବେେ ପୁରିଣା ଲୁଗା କଣା ରେ ନୂଆ କନାର ତାଳି ପକାଏ ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ନୂଆ କନା ଧୋଇବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଯାକି ହାଇେ ନଥାଏ। ନୂଆ କନାର ତାଳି ପକାଇ ଦେଲେ ତାହା ଯାକି ହବୋ ବଳକେୁ ପୁରୁଣା ଲୁଗାକୁ ଚାରିପଟୁ ଟାଣିଦବେ ଓ କଣାଟି ଆହୁରି ଅଧିକ ବଡ ହାଇଯେିବ।

17 ଆହୁରି ଲୋକେ ନୂଆ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପୁରୁଣା ପାତ୍ର ରେ ଢାଳନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।

18 ଯୀଶୁ ଏ ବିଷୟ କହୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାଗୃହର ଜଣେ ଅଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ଆସିଲେ। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ଆଣ୍ଠୁମାଡି ବସି ପଡଲେ ଓ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ଝିଅ ଏବେ ମରୀଗଲା। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆସି ତା'ଉପରେ ହାତ ରଖି ଦିଅ। ତା' ହେଲେ ସେ ପୁଣି ବଞ୍ଚି ଉଠିବ।

19 ଯୀଶୁ ଉଠିଲେ। ସେ ଅଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସଠାେକୁ ବାହାରିଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସଠାେକୁ ଗଲେ।

20 ସଠାେରେ ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ଥିଲା। ତାର ବାରବର୍ଷ ଧରି ରକ୍ତସ୍ରାବ ହେଉଥିଲା। ସେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପଛ ପଟକୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପିନ୍ଧା ବସ୍ତ୍ରର ଧାରକୁ ଛୁଇଁ ଦଲୋ।

21 ଏହା କଲା ବେଳେ ସେ ମନେ ମନେ ଭାବୁଥିଲା, ମୁଁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଟିକିଏ ଛୁଇଁ ଦେଲେ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଯେିବି।

22 ଯୀଶୁ ବୁଲିପଡି ତାହାକୁ ଚାହିଁଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଝିଅ, ସାହାସ ଧର। ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରି ଦଇେଛି। ସଙ୍ଗେସଙ୍ଗେ ସେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଗେଲା।

23 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଯୀହୂଦୀ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାଗୃହର ଅଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ଘ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ବଂଶୀବାଦକମାନେ ସମାଧି ଜନିତ ବଂଶୀ ବଜାଉଥିଲେ। ଝିଅଟି ମରିଯାଇଥିବାରୁ ଲୋକେ କାନ୍ଦୁଥିଲେ।

24 ଯୀଶୁ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, 'ବାହାରିଯାଅ। ଝିଅଟି ମରିନାହିଁ। ସେ କବଳେ ଶାଇେ ପଡିଛି। ଏହା ଶୁଣି ଲୋକେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଉପହାସ କଲେ।

25 ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଘର ଭିତରୁ ବାହାର କରି ଦିଆୟିବା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଭତରକୁ ଗଲେ। ଝିଅଟିର ହାତ ଧରିଲେ। ଝିଅଟି ଉଠି ଠିଆ ହେଲା।

26 ଏ ଖବର ସହେି ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ସାରା ବ୍ଯାପିଗଲା।

27 ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ଛାଡି ଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଦୁଇ ଜଣ ଅନ୍ଧ ଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ପାଟି କରି କହୁଥିଲେ, ହେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର , ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୟା କର।

28 ଯୀଶୁ ପୁଣି ଭିତରକୁ ଗଲେ, ଅନ୍ଧ ଦୁଇଟି ମଧ୍ଯ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍କ ରେ ଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରୁଛ ଯେ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆଖି ଦାନ କରି ପାରିବି? ସମାନେେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ହଁ, ପ୍ରଭୁ।

29 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆଖିକୁ ଛୁଇଁଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେପରି ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିଅଛ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ସପରେି ହେଉ।

30 ତା'ପରେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଦୁଇଜଣ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ପାଇଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦୃଢଭାବରେ ଚତାବେନୀ ଦଇେ କହିଲେ, ଏ ବିଷୟ ଅନ୍ୟକୁ କହିବ ନାହିଁ।

31 କିନ୍ତୁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଦୁ ହେଁ ଓ ଖବର ସେ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ସାରା ପ୍ରଚାର କରି ଦେଲେ।

32 ସେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଦୁଇଜଣ ଗଲାପରେ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଉ ଜଣେ ଲୋକକୁ ଆଣିଲେ। ସେ କଥା କହି ପିରୁ ନଥିଲା। କାରଣ ତା ଦହେ ରେ ଭୂତ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ରହିଥିଲା।

33 ଯୀଶୁ ତା' ଦହରେୁ ଭୂତକୁ ତଡି ଦେଲେ। କିଛି କହି ପାରୁ ନଥିବା ଲୋକଟି ପୁଣି ତା'ର କହିବା ଶକ୍ତି ଫରେି ପାଇଲା। ଜମା ହାଇେଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଇଶ୍ରାଯାଲ ରେ ଏଭଳି ଘଟଣା ଘଟିବା ଆମ୍ଭେ କବେେ ହେଲେ ଦେଖି ନଥିଲୁ।

34 କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ କହିଲେ, ଯୀଶୁ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ମୁଖିଆଙ୍କ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଭୂତଙ୍କୁ ତଡି ଦେଉଛନ୍ତି।

35 ଯୀଶୁ ନଗର-ନଗର ଓ ଗାଁ ଗାଁ ଯାତ୍ରା କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ। ସେ ବାଟରେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଗୃହମାନଙ୍କ ରେ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଲେ, ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯର ସୁସମାଗ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭର କଲେ। ସେ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ସବୁ ପ୍ରକାର ରୋଗ ଓ ଅସୁସ୍ଥତାକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରି ଦେଲେ।

36 ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମନ ରେ କରୁଣା ଜାତ ହେଲା। ମଷେ ପାଳକ ନଥିଲେ ମଷେ ପଲର ଅବସ୍ଥା ଯାହା ହୁଏ, ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଅବସ୍ଥା ସହେିଭଳି ନିରାଶା ଓ ଅସହାୟତା ରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣଥିଲା।

37 ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଫସଲ(ଲୋକ) ବହୁତ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୂଲିଆ ( ସବେକ) କମ୍ ଅଛନ୍ତି।

38 ଫସଲ ଅମଳ(ଉଦ୍ଧାର) କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଅଧିକ ମୂଲିଆ ପଠାଇବାକୁ ଫସଲର ମାଲିକ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କର।

1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

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.
