এজরা 10
1 ১ এইদৰে ঈশ্বৰৰ গৃহৰ আগত ইজ্ৰাই চকুলোৰে প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰি পাপ স্বীকাৰ কৰিলে। ইস্ৰায়েলৰ সমবেত হোৱা পুৰুষ, মহিলা, সন্তান সকল আহি তেওঁৰ ওচৰত গোট খালে, কাৰণ লোকসকলে অতিশয়ৰূপে ক্ৰন্দন কৰিছিল।
While I was kneeling down in front of the temple and praying and crying, I was confessing [the sins that the Israeli people had committed]. Many people, men and women and children, gathered around me and also cried very much.
2 ২ এলমৰ বংশধৰ যিহীয়েলৰ পুত্ৰ চখনিয়াই ইজ্ৰাক ক’লে, “আমাৰ ঈশ্বৰৰ বিৰুদ্ধে আমি বিশ্ৱাসঘাতক কৰি অন্য জাতিৰ লোকসকলৰ পৰা ছোৱালী বিয়া কৰাই বসবাস কৰি আছোঁ। কিন্তু এই বিষয়ত এতিয়াও ইস্ৰায়েলৰ আশা আছে।
Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel from the clan of Elam, said this to me: “We have disobeyed God. [Some of] us have married women who are not Israelis. But we can still confidently expect [Yahweh to be merciful to] us Israeli people.
3 ৩ সেয়ে আহক, এতিয়া আমাৰ ঈশ্ৱৰৰ সৈতে প্রতিজ্ঞাবদ্ধ হওঁ, ঈশ্বৰৰ আজ্ঞা অনুসাৰে আৰু আমাৰ ঈশ্ৱৰৰ আজ্ঞাত যিসকল কম্পমান হৈছে তেওঁলোকৰ পৰামৰ্শ অনুসাৰে সকলো মহিলা আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ সন্তান সকলক বাহিৰ কৰি পঠাওঁ, আৰু এই সকলো বিধান অনুযায়ী হওঁক।
We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.
4 ৪ উঠক, কাৰণ এই সকলো কাৰ্য আপুনিয়েই কৰি যাব লাগিব, আৰু আমিও আপোনাৰ লগত আছোঁ; সাহিয়াল হওক আৰু এই কাৰ্য কৰক।”
(It is your responsibility to/Because you are our leader, you must) [tell us what to do]. So get up, and be courageous, and do [what is necessary]. We will (support you/tell people to do what you say).”
5 ৫ তেতিয়া ইজ্ৰাই উঠিল আৰু সেই বাক্য অনুসাৰে কৰিবলৈ পুৰোহিত কৰ্মচাৰী, লেবীয়া, আৰু সকলো ইস্ৰায়েল লোকসকলক এইদৰে কৰ্য্য কৰিবলৈ শপত খুৱালে।
So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, and all [the other] Israeli people solemnly declare that they would do what Shecaniah said that they should do. So they all solemnly promised to do that.
6 ৬ তাৰ পাছত ইজ্ৰাই ঈশ্বৰৰ গৃহৰ পৰা উঠি আহিল আৰু ইলিয়াচীবৰ পুত্ৰ যিহোহাননৰ কোঁঠালিলৈ গ’ল। যিসকল লোক বন্দীত্বত আছিল তেওঁলোকে অবিশ্ৱাসী লোকৰ দৰে কৰা কাৰ্যৰ বাবে শোক কৰিলে আৰু তেওঁ একো ভোজন-পান নকৰিলে।
Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned [from Babylonia] had not faithfully obeyed [God’s laws].
7 ৭ সেয়ে বন্দীত্বৰ পৰা ঘূৰি অহা সকলো লোকক যিৰূচালেমত গোট খাবলৈ যিহূদা আৰু যিৰূচালেমলৈ তেওঁলোকে বাৰ্ত্তা পঠিয়ালে।
Then we sent a message to all [the people in] Jerusalem and [in other towns in] Judah, saying that all those who had returned [from Babylonia] should come to Jerusalem immediately.
8 ৮ যিসকল লোক কৰ্মচাৰী আৰু বৃদ্ধসকলৰ পৰামৰ্শ অনুযায়ী তিনি দিনৰ ভিতৰত নাহে, তেওঁলোকৰ সকলো সম্পত্তি বৰ্জিত কৰা হ’ব, আৰু বন্দীত্বৰ পৰা অহা লোকসকলৰ সমাজৰ পৰা তেওঁলোকক পৃথক কৰা যাব।
We said that if any of them did not arrive within three days, the leaders of the people would order that all the property of those people would be taken from them, and that they would no longer be considered to belong to the Israeli people; [they would be considered to be foreigners].
9 ৯ সেয়ে যিহূদাৰ আৰু বিন্যামীনৰ সকলো লোকে তিন দিনৰ ভিতৰত যিৰূচালেমলৈ আহি গোট খালে। নৱম মাহৰ বিশ দিনৰ দিনা, ঈশ্বৰৰ গৃহৰ সন্মুখত সকলো লোক থিয় হ’ল। সেই বাক্য আৰু বৰষুণৰ কাৰণে লোকসকল কঁপিব ধৰিলে।
So within three days, on December 19, all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem. They were there, sitting in the courtyard in front of the temple. They were trembling because it was raining hard and because they were worried [that they would be punished for what they had done].
10 ১০ তেতিয়া পুৰোহিত ইজ্ৰাই থিয় হৈ ক’লে, “তোমালোকে নিজেই নিজকে বিশ্ৱাসঘাত কৰিছা, তোমালোকে অন্য জাতিৰ মহিলাৰ সৈতে বসবাস কৰি, ইস্ৰায়েলৰ দোষ বৃদ্ধি কৰিলা।
Then I stood up and said to them, “[Some of] you men have committed a very bad sin. You have married women who are not Israelis. By doing that, you have made us Israeli people more guilty [than we were before].
11 ১১ এতিয়া তোমালোকৰ পূৰ্বপুৰুষৰ ঈশ্বৰ যিহোৱাৰ গৌৰৱ-প্রশংসা কৰা আৰু তেওঁৰ ইচ্ছা সিদ্ধ কৰা। দেশৰ লোকসকলৰ পৰা আৰু আন জাতিৰ মহিলাৰ পৰা নিজকে পৃথক কৰা।
So now you must confess to Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped/belonged to], the sin which you have committed, and you must do what he wants. Separate yourselves from the people of other nations and from the women from those nations whom you have married.”
The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
13 ১৩ যদিও তাত অনেক লোক আছিল, আৰু বাৰিষা কাল আছিল। বাহিৰত থিয় হৈ থাকিবলৈ আমাৰ শক্তি নাই, আৰু এইটো এদিন বা দুদিনৰ কাম নহয়, আমি এই বিষয়ত অতিৰিক্তভাৱে অৱহেলা কৰি আহিছোঁ।
But then [one of] them said, “But we are a very large group, and it is raining hard. Also, there are many of us who have committed this bad sin. This is something that we cannot (take care of/handle) in one or two days, and we cannot stand here in this rain.
14 ১৪ সেয়ে গোটেই সমাজক আমাৰ কৰ্মচাৰীসকলে প্রতিনিধিত্ব কৰক। আমাৰ ঈশ্বৰৰ প্ৰচণ্ড ক্ৰোধ যেতিয়ালৈকে আমাৰ পৰা দূৰ নহয়, তেতিয়ালৈকে নগৰৰ বৃদ্ধলোক আৰু বিচাৰকৰ্ত্তাসকলে নিৰূপিত কৰা সময়ত যি সকলে অন্য জাতিৰ মহিলাক নগৰবোৰত বসবাস কৰিবলৈ অনুমতি দিছিল, তেওঁলোক আহক।”
So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us [because of what we have done].”
15 ১৫ এই প্ৰস্তাব অচাহেলৰ পুত্ৰ যোনাথন আৰু তিকবাৰ পুত্ৰ যহজিয়াই বিৰোধিতা কৰিলে, আৰু মচুল্লম আৰু লেবীয়া চবথয়ে তেওঁলোকক সমৰ্থন কৰিলে।
Jonathan the son of Asahel, Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai, a descendant of Levi, were the only ones who objected to this.
16 ১৬ সেয়ে বন্দীত্বৰ পৰা অহা লোকসকলে এই কাৰ্য কৰিলে। নিৰ্বাচিত ব্যক্তি ইজ্ৰা পুৰোহিত, তেওঁলোকৰ বংশৰ জাতি আৰু গৃহত থকা মূখ্য লোকসকল, তেওঁলোকৰ নাম অনুযায়ী দশম মাহৰ প্ৰথম দিনা সেই বিষয়ে বিচাৰ কৰিবলৈ বহিল।
All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.
17 ১৭ প্ৰথম মাহৰ প্ৰথম দিনা তেওঁলোকে অন্য জাতিৰ মহিলাৰ সৈতে বসবাস কৰা লোকসকলৰ বিষয়ে অনুসন্ধান কৰি শেষ কৰিলে।
By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
18 ১৮ পুৰোহিতসকলৰ বংশৰ মাজত যি সকলে অন্য জাতিৰ মহিলাৰ সৈতে বসবাস কৰিছিল, তেওঁলোকৰ নাম হ’ল: যোচাদকৰ পুত্ৰ যেচুৱা আৰু তেওঁৰ ভায়েকসকলৰ মাজত মাচেয়া, ইলীয়েজৰ, যাৰীব, আৰু গদলিয়া।
This is a list of the names of the priests who had married non-Israeli women, and the clans to which they belonged. From the clan of Jeshua and his brothers, who were sons of Jehozadak, there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 ১৯ সেই কাৰণে তেওঁলোকে নিজৰ ভাৰ্যাক পঠিয়াবলৈ প্রতিজ্ঞাবদ্ধ হ’ল। তেওঁলোক দোষৰ বাবে জাকৰ পৰা এটা মতা মেৰ-ছাগ বলিদান কৰিলে।
