దినవృత్తాంతములు~ రెండవ~ గ్రంథము 25
1 ౧ అమజ్యా పరిపాలించడం మొదలుపెట్టినప్పుడు 25 ఏళ్లవాడు. అతడు 29 ఏళ్ళు యెరూషలేములో పాలించాడు. అతని తల్లి యెరూషలేము నివాసి. ఆమె పేరు యెహోయద్దాను.
অমৎসিয় পঁচিশ বছর বয়সে রাজা হলেন, এবং জেরুশালেমে তিনি উনত্রিশ বছর রাজত্ব করলেন। তাঁর মায়ের নাম যিহোয়দ্দন; তিনি জেরুশালেমে বসবাস করতেন।
সদাপ্রভুর দৃষ্টিতে যা যা ভালো, অমৎসিয় তাই করলেন, তবে মনপ্রাণ ঢেলে দিয়ে তা করেননি।
রাজপাট তাঁর হাতের মুঠোয় আসার পর তিনি সেই কর্মকর্তাদের প্রাণদণ্ডে দণ্ডিত করে বধ করলেন, যারা তাঁর বাবা, অর্থাৎ রাজাকে হত্যা করেছিল।
4 ౪ అయితే “తండ్రులు పిల్లల కోసం, పిల్లలు తండ్రులకోసం చావకూడదు, ప్రతి మనిషి తన పాపం కోసం తానే చావాలి” అని మోషే గ్రంథం అయిన ధర్మశాస్త్రంలో రాసి ఉన్న యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞ ప్రకారం అతడు వారి పిల్లలను చంపలేదు.
তবুও মোশির বিধানপুস্তকে লেখা সেই কথানুসারে, যেখানে সদাপ্রভু আদেশ দিয়েছিলেন: “ছেলেমেয়েদের পাপের জন্য বাবা-মাকে কিংবা বাবা-মায়ের পাপের জন্য ছেলেমেয়েদের মেরে ফেলা যাবে না; প্রত্যেককেই তার নিজের পাপের জন্য মরতে হবে।” তিনি তাদের ছেলেমেয়েদের হত্যা করেননি।
5 ౫ అమజ్యా యూదావారందరినీ సమకూర్చి యూదా దేశమంతటా బెన్యామీనీయుల దేశమంతటా వారి వారి పూర్వీకుల వంశాల ప్రకారం సహస్రాధిపతులనూ, శతాధిపతులనూ నియమించాడు. అతడు 20 ఏళ్ళు మొదలు అంతకన్నా ఎక్కువ వయసున్న వారిని లెక్కిస్తే, ఈటెను డాళ్లను పట్టుకుని యుద్ధానికి వెళ్ళగలిగిన యోధులు మూడు లక్షల మంది అయ్యారు.
অমৎসিয় যিহূদার প্রজাদের এক স্থানে সমবেত হওয়ার জন্য ডেকেছিলেন এবং যিহূদা ও বিন্যামীনের সব প্রজাকে, তাদের বংশানুসারে সহস্র-সেনাপতিদের ও শত-সেনাপতিদের অধীনে নিযুক্ত করে দিলেন। পরে তিনি কুড়ি বছর ও তার বেশি বয়সের বেশ কিছু লোক একত্রিত করলেন এবং দেখা গেল যে সামরিক পরিষেবা দেওয়ার উপযোগী, তথা বর্শা ও ঢাল ব্যবহার করতে সক্ষম 3,00,000 লোক আছে।
এছাড়াও তিনি একশো তালন্ত রুপো দিয়ে ইস্রায়েল থেকে 1,00,000 যোদ্ধা ভাড়া করলেন।
7 ౭ దేవుని మనిషి ఒకడు అతని దగ్గరికి వచ్చి “రాజా, ఇశ్రాయేలు సైన్యాన్ని నీతో తీసుకు పోవద్దు, యెహోవా ఇశ్రాయేలువారైన ఎఫ్రాయిమీయుల్లో ఎవరికీ తోడుగా ఉండడు.
কিন্তু ঈশ্বরের একজন লোক তাঁর কাছে এসে বললেন, “হে মহারাজ, ইস্রায়েল থেকে আসা এই সৈন্যদল যেন আপনাদের সাথে যুদ্ধযাত্রা না করে, কারণ ইস্রায়েলের সাথে—ইফ্রয়িমের কোনও লোকের সাথেই সদাপ্রভু থাকেন না।
8 ౮ ఆలా వెళ్లాలని నీకుంటే వెళ్ళు. యుద్ధం బలంగా చేసినా దేవుడు నీ శత్రువు ఎదుట నిన్ను పడగొడతాడు. సహాయం చేయడానికీ పడవేయడానికీ దేవుడు సమర్దుడే గదా” అని చెప్పాడు.
আপনারা যদিও নির্ভয়ে যুদ্ধক্ষেত্রে গিয়ে যুদ্ধ করবেন, ঈশ্বর কিন্তু শত্রুদের সামনে আপনাদের পরাজিত করবেন, কারণ সাহায্য করার বা পরাজিত করার ক্ষমতা ঈশ্বর রাখেন।”
9 ౯ అమజ్యా అతనితో “ఇశ్రాయేలువారి సైన్యానికి నేనిచ్చిన 3, 500 కిలోల వెండి సంగతి ఏం చేద్దాం” అని అడిగాడు. దానికతడు “దీనికంటే ఇంకా ఎక్కువ యెహోవా నీకు ఇవ్వగలడు” అని జవాబిచ్చాడు.
অমৎসিয় ঈশ্বরের সেই লোককে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, “তবে যে একশো তালন্ত আমি এই ইস্রায়েলী সৈন্যদলকে দিয়েছি, তার কী হবে?” ঈশ্বরের লোক উত্তর দিলেন, “সদাপ্রভু আপনাকে এর চেয়েও অনেক বেশি দিতে পারেন।”
10 ౧౦ అప్పుడు అమజ్యా ఎఫ్రాయిములోనుంచి తన దగ్గరికి వచ్చిన సైన్యాన్ని వేరుపరచి “మీ ఇళ్ళకు తిరిగి వెళ్ళండి” అని వారికి చెప్పాడు. అందుకు వారికి యూదావారి మీద తీవ్ర కోపం వచ్చింది. వారు మండిపడుతూ తమ ఇళ్ళకు తిరిగి వెళ్ళిపోయారు.
অতএব ইফ্রয়িম থেকে তাঁর কাছে আসা সৈন্যদলকে তিনি বরখাস্ত করে ঘরে পাঠিয়ে দিলেন। তারা যিহূদার উপর খুব রেগে গেল এবং ক্রোধে উন্মত্ত হয়ে তারা ঘরে ফিরে গেল।
11 ౧౧ అమజ్యా ధైర్యం తెచ్చుకుని తన ప్రజలతో బయలుదేరి, ఉప్పు లోయ స్థలానికి పోయి శేయీరువారిలో 10,000 మందిని హతమార్చాడు.
অমৎসিয় পরে তাঁর শক্তি গুছিয়ে নিয়ে লবণ উপত্যকার দিকে তাঁর সৈন্যদল পরিচালনা করলেন। সেখানে তিনি সেয়ীরের দশ হাজার লোককে হত্যা করলেন।
12 ౧౨ ప్రాణాలతో ఉన్న మరొక 10,000 మందిని యూదావారు చెరపట్టుకుని, వారిని ఒక కొండ అంచుకు తీసుకుపోయి అక్కడనుంచి వారిని పడవేస్తే వారు ముక్కలైపోయారు.
এছাড়াও যিহূদার সৈন্যদল 10,000 লোককে জীবন্ত অবস্থায় ধরে, তাদের একটি খাড়া উঁচু পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় নিয়ে গিয়ে সেখান থেকে এমনভাবে নিচে ছুঁড়ে ফেলে দিয়েছিল, যে তারা সবাই চুরমার হয়ে গেল।
13 ౧౩ అయితే తనతో యుద్ధానికి రావద్దని అమజ్యా తిరిగి పంపివేసిన సైనికులు షోమ్రోను మొదలు బేత్హోరోను వరకూ ఉన్న యూదా పట్టణాల మీద పడి వారిలో 3,000 మందిని చంపి విస్తారమైన దోపిడీ సొమ్ము పట్టుకు పోయారు.
এই ফাঁকে, যে সৈন্যদলকে অমৎসিয় ফেরত পাঠিয়ে দিলেন ও যুদ্ধে অংশগ্রহণ করার সুযোগ দেননি, তারা শমরিয়া থেকে শুরু করে বেথ-হোরোণ পর্যন্ত যিহূদার নগরগুলিতে হানা দিয়েছিল। তারা 3,000 লোককে হত্যা করল এবং প্রচুর পরিমাণ লুটসামগ্রী তুলে নিয়ে গেল।
14 ౧౪ అమజ్యా ఎదోమీయులను ఓడించి తిరిగి వచ్చిన తరువాత అతడు శేయీరు ప్రజల దేవుళ్ళను తీసుకువచ్చి తనకు దేవుళ్ళుగా నిలిపి వాటికి నమస్కరించి ధూపం వేశాడు.
ইদোমীয়দের উপর হত্যালীলা চালিয়ে ফিরে আসার সময় অমৎসিয় সেয়ীরের লোকজনের আরাধ্য দেবতাদের মূর্তিগুলিও ফিরিয়ে এনেছিলেন। তিনি সেগুলিকে তাঁর নিজের দেবতা করে নিয়ে সেগুলি প্রতিষ্ঠা করলেন, সেগুলির পুজো করলেন ও সেগুলির কাছে ধূপধুনোও জ্বালিয়েছিলেন।
15 ౧౫ అందువలన యెహోవా కోపం అమజ్యా మీద రగులుకుంది. ఆయన అతని దగ్గరికి ఒక ప్రవక్తను పంపాడు. అతడు “నీ చేతిలోనుంచి తమ ప్రజలను విడిపించే శక్తి లేని దేవుళ్ళ దగ్గర నీవెందుకు విచారణ చేస్తావు?” అని అమజ్యాతో అన్నాడు.
সদাপ্রভুর ক্রোধ অমৎসিয়ের বিরুদ্ধে জ্বলে উঠেছিল, এবং তিনি তাঁর কাছে একজন ভাববাদী পাঠিয়ে দিলেন, যিনি বললেন, “এইসব লোকের যে দেবতারা আপনার হাত থেকে তাদের নিজেদের লোকদেরই বাঁচাতে পারেনি, আপনি তাদের কাছে কেন পরামর্শ চাইছেন?”
16 ౧౬ అతడు అమజ్యాతో మాటలాడుతుంటే, రాజు అతనితో “మేము నిన్ను రాజుకు సలహాదారునిగా చేశామా? ఆగు. ప్రాణాల మీదికి ఎందుకు తెచ్చుకుంటావు?” అన్నాడు. ఆ ప్రవక్త ఆగి “దేవుడు నిన్ను నాశనం చేయడానికి నిర్ణయించాడు. ఎందుకంటే నీవు నా సలహా పాటించ లేదు” అన్నాడు.
ভাববাদীর কথা শেষ হওয়ার আগেই রাজা তাঁকে বলে ফেলেছিলেন, “রাজার পরামর্শদাতারূপে আমরা কি তোমাকে নিযুক্ত করেছি? থামো! কেন মার খাবে?” অতএব সেই ভাববাদী থেমেছিলেন কিন্তু বলেওছিলেন, “আমি জানি, যেহেতু আপনি এ কাজটি করেছেন এবং আমার পরামর্শে কান দেননি, তাই ঈশ্বর আপনাকে বধ করার বিষয়ে মনস্থির করেই ফেলেছেন।”
17 ౧౭ అప్పుడు యూదారాజు అమజ్యా తన సలహాదారులతో ఆలోచన చేసి “రండి, మనం యుద్ధంలో ఒకరికొకరం తలపడదాం” అని యెహూకు పుట్టిన యెహోయాహాజు కొడుకూ, ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజూ అయిన యెహోయాషుకు కబురు పంపాడు.
যিহূদার রাজা অমৎসিয় তাঁর পরামর্শদাতাদের সাথে শলাপরামর্শ করার পর যেহূর নাতি ও যিহোয়াহসের ছেলে ইস্রায়েলের রাজা যিহোয়াশের কাছে এই খবর দিয়ে পাঠালেন: “আসুন, যুদ্ধক্ষেত্রে আমরা পরস্পরের মুখোমুখি হই।”
18 ౧౮ కాగా ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజు యెహోయాషు యూదారాజు అమజ్యాకు ఇలా తిరుగు సందేశం పంపాడు. “‘నీ కూతుర్ని నా కొడుక్కి ఇచ్చి పెళ్లి చెయ్యి’ అని లెబానోనులో ఉన్న ముళ్ళ చెట్టు లెబానోనులో ఉన్న దేవదారు వృక్షానికి సందేశం పంపితే లెబానోనులో తిరిగే ఒక అడవి జంతువు ఆ ముళ్ళచెట్టును తొక్కివేసింది.
কিন্তু ইস্রায়েলের রাজা যিহোয়াশ যিহূদার রাজা অমৎসিয়কে উত্তর দিলেন: “লেবাননের শিয়ালকাঁটা লেবাননেরই এক দেবদারু গাছকে খবর দিয়ে পাঠিয়েছিল, ‘তুমি তোমার মেয়ের সাথে আমার ছেলের বিয়ে দাও।’ পরে লেবাননের বুনো এক জন্তু এসে সেই শিয়ালকাঁটাকে পায়ের তলায় পিষে দিয়েছিল।
19 ౧౯ ‘నేను ఎదోమీయులను ఓడించాను’ అని నీవనుకుంటున్నావు. నీ హృదయం నీవు గర్వించి ప్రగల్భాలాడేలా చేస్తున్నది. ఇంటి దగ్గరే ఉండు. నీవు నా జోలికి వచ్చి కీడు తెచ్చుకోవడం ఎందుకు? నువ్వూ నీతో పాటు యూదావారూ ఓడిపోవడం ఎందుకు?”
আপনি মনে মনে বলেছেন যে আপনি ইদোমকে পরাজিত করেছেন, আর এখন আপনি গর্বিতমনা ও অহংকারী হয়ে গিয়েছেন। তবে ঘরে বসে থাকুন! কেন মিছিমিছি নিজের ও সাথে সাথে যিহূদারও বিপদ ও পতন ডেকে আনতে চাইছেন?”
20 ౨౦ ప్రజలు ఎదోమీయుల దేవుళ్ళ దగ్గర విచారణ చేస్తున్నారు కాబట్టి వారి శత్రువుల చేతికి వారు చిక్కేలా దేవుని ప్రేరణ వలన అమజ్యా ఆ సందేశాన్ని అంగీకరించ లేదు.
অমৎসিয় অবশ্য সেকথা শুনতে চাননি, কারণ ঈশ্বর এমনভাবে কাজ করলেন, যেন তিনি তাদের যিহোয়াশের হাতে সঁপে দিতে পারেন, যেহেতু তারা ইদোমের দেবতাদের কাছে সাহায্য চেয়েছিল।
21 ౨౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజు యెహోయాషు బయలుదేరాడు. యూదాకు చెందిన బేత్షెమెషులో అతడూ యూదా రాజు అమజ్యా ఒకరినొకరు ఎదుర్కొన్నారు.
অতএব ইস্রায়েলের রাজা যিহোয়াশ তাদের আক্রমণ করলেন। যিহূদা দেশের বেত-শেমশে তিনি ও যিহূদার রাজা অমৎসিয় পরস্পরের মুখোমুখি হলেন।
ইস্রায়েলের হাতে যিহূদা পর্যুদস্ত হল এবং প্রত্যেকে নিজের নিজের ঘরে পালিয়ে গেল।
23 ౨౩ అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజు యెహోయాషు యెహోయాహాజుకు పుట్టిన యోవాషు కొడుకూ, యూదారాజూ అయిన అమజ్యాను బేత్షెమెషులో పట్టుకుని యెరూషలేముకు తీసుకు వచ్చి, యెరూషలేము ప్రాకారాన్ని ఎఫ్రాయిము గుమ్మం మొదలు మూల గుమ్మం వరకూ 400 మూరల పొడుగున పడగొట్టాడు.
ইস্রায়েলের রাজা যিহোয়াশ বেত-শেমশে অহসিয়ের নাতি ও যোয়াশের ছেলে যিহূদার রাজা অমৎসিয়কে বন্দি করলেন। পরে যিহোয়াশ তাঁকে জেরুশালেমে নিয়ে এলেন এবং ইফ্রয়িম-দ্বার থেকে কোণের দ্বার পর্যন্ত—প্রায় 180 মিটার লম্বা জেরুশালেমের প্রাচীর ভেঙে দিলেন।
24 ౨౪ అతడు దేవుని మందిరంలో ఓబేదెదోము దగ్గర ఉన్న మొత్తం వెండి, బంగారం పాత్రలన్నీ రాజభవనంలో ఉన్న సొమ్మంతా తీసుకు షోమ్రోనుకు తిరిగి వెళ్లి పోయాడు.
ওবেদ-ইদোমের তত্ত্বাবধানে থাকা ঈশ্বরের মন্দিরের সব সোনারুপো ও সব জিনিসপত্র এবং সেগুলির সাথে সাথে প্রাসাদের ধনসম্পত্তিও হাতিয়ে নিয়ে এবং কয়েকজনকে পণবন্দি করে তিনি শমরিয়ায় ফিরে গেলেন।
25 ౨౫ ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజూ యెహోయాహాజు కొడుకూ అయిన యెహోయాషు చనిపోయిన తరువాత యూదా రాజూ, యోవాషు కొడుకూ అయిన అమజ్యా 15 ఏళ్ళు బతికాడు.
যিহোয়াহসের ছেলে ইস্রায়েলের রাজা যিহোয়াশের মৃত্যুর পর যোয়াশের ছেলে যিহূদার রাজা অমৎসিয় আরও পনেরো বছর বেঁচেছিলেন।
শুরু থেকে শেষ পর্যন্ত অমৎসিয়ের রাজত্বকালের সব ঘটনা কি যিহূদা ও ইস্রায়েলের রাজাদের পুস্তকে লেখা নেই?
27 ౨౭ అమజ్యా యెహోవాను అనుసరించడం మానివేసిన తరువాత ప్రజలు యెరూషలేములో అతని మీద కుట్ర చేశారు. అతడు లాకీషుకు పారిపోయాడు.
যখন থেকে অমৎসিয় সদাপ্রভুর পথে চলা বন্ধ করে দিলেন, তখন থেকেই লোকেরা জেরুশালেমে তাঁর বিরুদ্ধে ষড়যন্ত্রে শামিল হতে শুরু করল, এবং তিনি লাখীশে পালিয়ে গেলেন, কিন্তু তারা লাখীশে লোক পাঠিয়ে সেখানেই তাঁকে হত্যা করিয়েছিল।
28 ౨౮ అయితే వారు అతని వెనుక లాకీషుకు మనుష్యులను పంపి అతణ్ణి అక్కడ చంపి, గుర్రాల మీద అతని శవాన్ని ఎక్కించి తీసుకువచ్చి యూదా పట్టణంలో అతని పూర్వీకుల దగ్గర పాతిపెట్టారు.
তাঁর মৃতদেহ ঘোড়ার পিঠে চাপিয়ে ফিরিয়ে আনা হল এবং যিহূদা-নগরে তাঁর পূর্বপুরুষদের সাথেই তাঁকে কবর দেওয়া হল।
