যিহোশূয়ের বই 23
1 এরপর বহুদিন পার হয়ে গেল এবং সদাপ্রভু ইস্রায়েলের চারপাশের সমস্ত শত্রু থেকে তাদের বিশ্রাম দিলেন। যিহোশূয় সেই সময় অতি বৃদ্ধ হয়ে গিয়েছিলেন।
౧చుట్టూ ఉన్న వారి శత్రువుల నుండి యెహోవా ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు నెమ్మది కలుగ చేసిన తరువాత చాలా రోజులకు యెహోషువ ముసలివాడై పోయాడు.
2 তিনি ইস্রায়েলীদের সবাইকে—সমস্ত প্রাচীন, নেতা, বিচারক ও কর্মকর্তাদের—ডেকে পাঠালেন ও তিনি তাঁদের বললেন: “আমার অনেক বয়স হয়েছে।
౨యెహోషువ ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరినీ వారి పెద్దలనూ వారి నాయకులనూ వారి న్యాయాధిపతులనూ వారి అధికారులనూ పిలిపించి వారితో ఇలా అన్నాడు, “నేను ముసలివాడినైపోయాను.
3 তোমরা নিজেরা দেখেছ, তোমাদের জন্য তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু এই সমস্ত জাতির প্রতি কী করেছেন; তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুই তোমাদের হয়ে যুদ্ধ করেছেন।
౩మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీ కోసం ఈ రాజ్యాలన్నిటికీ చేసినదంతా మీరు చూశారు. మీ తరఫున యుద్ధం చేసింది మీ దేవుడు యెహోవాయే!
4 জর্ডন নদী থেকে পশ্চিমে ভূমধ্যসাগর পর্যন্ত যেসব জাতিকে আমি ধ্বংস করেছি ও যারা এখনও বাকি আছে, মনে করে দেখো, তাদের সেই দেশ আমি কীভাবে তোমাদের মধ্যে উত্তরাধিকাররূপে বণ্টন করে দিয়েছি।
౪చూడండి, యొర్దాను నుండి పడమరగా మహాసముద్రం వరకూ నేను నాశనం చేసిన అన్ని రాజ్యాలతో పాటు, మీ గోత్రాల స్వాస్థ్యం మధ్య మిగిలి ఉన్న ఈ రాజ్యాన్ని మీకు చీట్లు వేసి పంచిపెట్టాను.
5 তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু স্বয়ং অবশিষ্ট ওই জাতিদের তোমাদের পথ থেকে তাড়িয়ে দেবেন। তিনি তোমাদের সামনে থেকে তাদের বিতাড়িত করবেন, আর তোমরা তাদের দেশের দখল নেবে, যেমন তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু তোমাদের প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছেন।
౫మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాయే వారిని వెళ్ళగొడతాడు. ఆయనే వాళ్ళను పారదోలతాడు. మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీకు వాగ్దానం చేసిన ప్రకారం మీరు వారి దేశాన్ని స్వాధీన పరచుకుంటారు.
6 “তোমরা অত্যন্ত শক্তিশালী হও; মোশির বিধানপুস্তকে যা লেখা আছে, সেগুলির সবকিছু সাবধান হয়ে পালন কোরো। তা থেকে ডানদিকে বা বাঁদিকে সরে যেয়ো না।
౬కాబట్టి మీరు నిలకడగా ఉండి మోషే ధర్మశాస్త్రగ్రంథంలో రాసినదాన్నంతా పాటిస్తూ దాని ప్రకారం ప్రవర్తించండి. మనస్సు దృఢం చేసుకుని, దానినుండి ఎడమకు గాని కుడికి గాని తొలగిపోవద్దు.
7 তোমরা এই সমস্ত জাতি, যারা তোমাদের মধ্যে রয়ে গিয়েছে, তাদের সহযোগী হোয়ো না; তাদের দেবতাদের নামে মিনতি বা শপথ কোরো না। তোমরা অবশ্যই তাদের সেবা করবে না অথবা তাদের সামনে প্রণত হবে না।
౭మీ దగ్గర మిగిలి ఉన్న ఈ రాజ్యాలతో కలిసిపోవద్దు. వారి దేవుళ్ళ పేరులు ఎత్తవద్దు, వాటి తోడని ప్రమాణం చేయవద్దు, వాటిని పూజించవద్దు. వాటికి నమస్కరించవద్దు.
8 কিন্তু তোমরা তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুকে আঁকড়ে ধরে রাখবে, যেমন তোমরা এ পর্যন্ত করে এসেছ।
౮దానికి బదులు, మీరు యిప్పటి వరకూ ఉన్నట్టు మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాను హత్తుకుని ఉండండి.
9 “সদাপ্রভু তোমাদের সামনে মহান ও শক্তিশালী সব জাতিকে তাড়িয়ে দিয়েছেন; আজ পর্যন্ত, তারা কেউই তোমাদের সামনে দাঁড়াতে পারেনি।
౯బలీయమైన గొప్ప రాజ్యాలను యెహోవా మీ ముందు పారదోలాడు. ఇప్పటివరకూ మీముందు ఎవరూ నిలబడలేకపోతున్నారు.
10 তোমাদের এক একজন, 1,000 জনকে বিতাড়িত করছে, কারণ তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু তাঁর প্রতিশ্রুতিমতো, তোমাদের জন্য যুদ্ধ করেছেন।
౧౦మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీకిచ్చిన మాటప్రకారం తానే మీ తరఫున యుద్ధం చేసేవాడు కాబట్టి మీలో ఒక్కడు వెయ్యిమందిని తరుముతాడు.
11 তাই তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুকে ভালোবাসার ব্যাপারে তোমরা অত্যন্ত যত্নশীল হবে।
౧౧కాబట్టి మీరు మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాను ప్రేమిస్తూ ఉండడానికి శ్రద్ధ వహించండి.
12 “কিন্তু তোমরা যদি পিছনে ফিরে যাও ও তোমাদের মধ্যে অবশিষ্ট এই সমস্ত জাতির সঙ্গে তোমরা কোনোরকম মৈত্রী স্থাপন করো, যদি তাদের সঙ্গে তোমরা পারস্পরিক বৈবাহিক সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করো ও তাদের সহযোগী হও,
౧౨అయితే మీరు వెనక్కి తగ్గి మీమధ్య మిగిలి ఉన్న ఈ రాజ్యాల ప్రజలతో ఏకమైపోయి వాళ్ళతో వియ్యమందుకుని, పరస్పర సంబంధాలు కలిగించుకుంటే
13 তবে তোমরা নিশ্চয় জানবে, তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু, আর এসব জাতিকে তোমাদের সামনে থেকে তাড়িয়ে দেবেন না। তারা বরং তোমাদের পক্ষে জাল ও ফাঁদস্বরূপ হবে, তারা তোমাদের পিঠে চাবুকের মতো ও তোমাদের চোখে কাঁটার মতো হবে, যতক্ষণ না তোমরা এই উৎকৃষ্ট দেশ থেকে বিনষ্ট হও, যে দেশ তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু তোমাদের দান করেছেন।
౧౩మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీ దగ్గరనుండి ఈ రాజ్యాలను వెళ్ళగొట్టడం మానుకుంటాడని మీరు తెలుసుకోవాలి. దానికి బదులు మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీకిచ్చిన యీ మంచి ప్రదేశంలో ఉండకుండా మీరు నాశనమయ్యే వరకూ వారు మీకు ఉరిగా బోనుగా మీపక్కలో కొరడాలాగా మీ కళ్ళలో ముళ్లులాగా ఉంటారు.
14 “এখন সমস্ত পৃথিবীর যে অন্তিম পথ, আমি সেই পথে যাচ্ছি। তোমরা সমস্ত মনেপ্রাণে জানো যে, সদাপ্রভু যে সমস্ত উৎকৃষ্ট প্রতিশ্রুতি তোমাদের দিয়েছিলেন, সেগুলির একটিও ব্যর্থ হয়নি। সব প্রতিশ্রুতিই পূর্ণ হয়েছে; একটিও ব্যর্থ হয়নি।
౧౪ఇప్పుడు మనుషులందరిలాగే నేనూ పోతున్నాను. మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీ విషయంలో చేసిన వాగ్దానాల్లో ఒక్కటికూడా తప్పిపోలేదని మీ అందరి హృదయాలకూ మనసులకూ తెలుసు. అవన్నీ మీకు జరిగాయి. వాటిలో ఒక్కటికూడా తప్పిపోలేదు.
15 কিন্তু, যেমন তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর প্রত্যেকটি উৎকৃষ্ট প্রতিশ্রুতি সত্য প্রমাণিত হয়েছে, তেমনই সদাপ্রভু যে সমস্ত মন্দ বিষয়ের ব্যাপারে তোমাদের ভীতিপ্রদর্শন করেছেন, তা তোমাদের উপরে নিয়ে আসবেন, যতক্ষণ না এই যে উৎকৃষ্ট দেশ তিনি তোমাদের দান করেছেন, সেখান থেকে তোমাদের ধ্বংস করেন।
౧౫అయితే మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీకు చేసిన వాగ్దానాలన్నీ మీకు నెరవేరినట్టుగా మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీ కిచ్చిన ఈ మంచి ప్రదేశంలో ఉండకుండా ఆయన మిమ్మల్ని నశింపచేసే వరకూ యెహోవా మీ మీదికి కీడులన్నీ రప్పిస్తాడు.
16 তোমরা যদি তোমাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর নিয়ম, যা পালন করার আদেশ তিনি তোমাদের দিয়েছেন, তা লঙ্ঘন করো, এবং গিয়ে অন্য দেবদেবীর পুজো করো ও তাদের সামনে প্রণত হও, তবে সদাপ্রভুর ক্রোধ তোমাদের উপরে ফেটে পড়বে এবং তোমরা দ্রুত সেই উৎকৃষ্ট দেশে বিনষ্ট হবে, যে দেশ তিনি তোমাদের দান করেছেন।”
౧౬మీరు మీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా మీకు నియమించిన ఆయన నిబంధనను మీరి, ఇతర దేవుళ్ళను పూజించి వాటికి నమస్కరిస్తే యెహోవా కోపం మీ మీద రగులుకుంటుంది. ఆయన మీకిచ్చిన ఈ మంచి ప్రదేశంలో ఉండకుండాా మీరు త్వరగా నాశనమవుతారు.”
