నిర్గమకాండము 32
1 ౧ మోషే కొండ దిగి రావడం ఆలస్యం కావడం చూసిన ప్రజలు అహరోను దగ్గరికి వచ్చారు. “లే, మా ముందుండి మమ్మల్ని నడిపించడానికి మా కోసం ఒక దేవుణ్ణి సిద్ధం చెయ్యి. ఐగుప్తు నుండి మమ్మల్ని బయటకు తీసుకు వచ్చిన మోషే అనే వాడు ఏమయ్యాడో మాకు తెలియడం లేదు” అన్నారు.
লোকেরা যখন দেখেছিল যে মোশি পর্বত থেকে নিচে নামতে খুব দেরি করছেন, তখন তারা হারোণের চারপাশে একত্রিত হয়ে বলল, “আসুন, আমাদের জন্য এমন সব দেবতা তৈরি করে দিন, যারা আমাদের অগ্রগামী হবেন। যে মোশি আমাদের মিশর দেশ থেকে বের করে এনেছেন, তার কী হল তা আমরা জানি না।”
2 ౨ అప్పుడు అహరోను “మీ భార్యల, కొడుకుల, కూతుళ్ళ చెవులకు ఉన్న బంగారు పోగులు తీసి నా దగ్గరికి తీసుకు రండి” అని చెప్పాడు.
হারোণ তাদের উত্তর দিলেন, “তোমাদের স্ত্রী, ছেলে ও মেয়েরা যেসব সোনার কানের দুল পরে আছে, সেগুলি খুলে ফেলো ও আমার কাছে নিয়ে এসো।”
অতএব সব লোকজন তাদের সোনার কানের দুল খুলে ফেলল ও হারোণের কাছে এনে দিল।
4 ౪ అతడు వాటిని తీసుకుని దూడ రూపం అచ్చుతో పోత పోసి బంగారం దూడను తయారు చేయించాడు. అప్పుడు ప్రజలు “ఓ ఇశ్రాయేలూ, ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి నిన్ను రప్పించిన నీ దేవుడు ఇదే” అని కేకలు వేశారు.
তারা তাঁর হাতে যা সঁপে দিল, সেগুলি তিনি গ্রহণ করলেন এবং ঢালাই করে এক যন্ত্রের সাহায্যে তিনি বাছুরের আকৃতিবিশিষ্ট একটি প্রতিমা তৈরি করে দিলেন। তখন তারা বলল, “হে ইস্রায়েল, এরাই তোমাদের সেই দেবতা, যারা মিশর থেকে তোমাদের বের করে এনেছেন।”
5 ౫ అహరోను దాన్ని చూసి దాని ఎదుట ఒక బలిపీఠం కట్టించాడు. తరువాత అహరోను “రేపు యెహోవాకు పండగ జరుగుతుంది” అని చాటింపు వేయించాడు.
হারোণ যখন তা দেখলেন, তখন তিনি সেই বাছুরের সামনে একটি বেদি নির্মাণ করে দিলেন ও ঘোষণা করলেন, “আগামীকাল সদাপ্রভুর উদ্দেশে একটি উৎসব হবে।”
6 ౬ తరువాతి రోజు ప్రజలు ఉదయాన్నే లేచి హోమబలులు, శాంతిబలులు సమర్పించారు. తరువాత ప్రజలు తినడానికి, తాగడానికి కూర్చున్నారు. నాట్యం చేయడం మొదలు పెట్టారు.
অতএব লোকজন পরদিন ভোরবেলায় উঠে পড়ল এবং হোমবলি উৎসর্গ করল ও মঙ্গলার্থক বলি নিবেদন করল। পরে তারা ভোজনপান করার জন্য বসে পড়ল, তারপর উঠে পরজাতীয়দের মতো হুল্লোড়ে মত্ত হল।
7 ౭ అప్పుడు యెహోవా మోషేతో ఇలా అన్నాడు. “కొండ దిగి వెళ్ళు. ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి నువ్వు తీసుకు వచ్చిన నీ ప్రజలు చెడిపోయారు.
পরে সদাপ্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, “নিচে নেমে যাও, কারণ তোমার যে লোকদের তুমি মিশর থেকে বের করে এনেছ, তারা নীতিভ্রষ্ট হয়ে পড়েছে।
8 ౮ వాళ్ళు పాటించాలని నేను నియమించిన ఉపదేశాల నుండి అప్పుడే తప్పిపోయారు. వాళ్ళ కోసం పోత పోసిన దూడ విగ్రహం తయారు చేసుకుని దానికి సాగిలపడి బలులు అర్పించి ‘ఓ ఇశ్రాయేలూ, ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి నిన్ను రప్పించిన నీ దేవుడు ఇదే’ అని చెప్పుకుంటున్నారు.”
আমি তাদের যে আদেশ দিয়েছিলাম তা থেকে তারা খুব তাড়াতাড়ি বিপথগামী হয়ে পড়েছে এবং নিজেদের জন্য তারা ঢালাই করে বাছুরের আকৃতিবিশিষ্ট একটি প্রতিমা তৈরি করেছে। সেটির সামনে তারা নতজানু হয়েছে এবং সেটির উদ্দেশে বলি উৎসর্গ করে বলেছে, ‘হে ইস্রায়েল, এরাই তোমার সেইসব দেবতা, যারা মিশর থেকে তোমাকে বের করে এনেছেন।’
“আমি এই লোকদের দেখেছি,” সদাপ্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, “আর এরা খুব একগুঁয়ে লোক।
10 ౧౦ నువ్వు చూస్తూ ఉండు, నా కోపం వారి మీద రగులుకునేలా చేస్తాను. వాళ్ళను దహించివేసి నిన్ను గొప్ప జనంగా చేస్తాను.”
এখন আমার কাজে হস্তক্ষেপ কোরো না, যেন এদের বিরুদ্ধে আমি ক্রোধে ফেটে পড়তে পারি ও যেন এদের আমি ধ্বংস করে ফেলতে পারি। পরে আমি তোমাকে এক মহাজাতিতে পরিণত করব।”
11 ౧౧ అందుకు మోషే తన దేవుడైన యెహోవాను బతిమిలాడాడు. “యెహోవా, నీ ప్రజల మీద నీ కోపం ఎందుకు రగులుకోవాలి? నీ బలిష్టమైన చెయ్యి చాపి ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి వీళ్ళను బయటకు రప్పించావు కదా.
কিন্তু মোশি তাঁর ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর অনুগ্রহ চাইলেন, “হে সদাপ্রভু,” তিনি বললেন, “তুমি কেন তোমার সেই প্রজাদের বিরুদ্ধে ক্রোধে ফেটে পড়বে, যাদের তুমি মহাশক্তিতে ও বলশালী এক হাত দিয়ে মিশর থেকে বের করে এনেছ?
12 ౧౨ ఐగుప్తీయులు ‘వాళ్ళ దేవుడు వాళ్ళకు కీడు కలిగించి భూమిపై లేకుండా నశింపజేసి కొండల్లో చనిపోయేలా చేయడానికి వాళ్ళను తీసుకు వెళ్ళాడు’ అని ఎందుకు చెప్పుకోవాలి? నీ కోపాగ్ని నుండి మళ్లుకుని వాళ్లకు కీడు చెయ్యకు.
মিশরীয়রা কেন বলবে, ‘মন্দ উদ্দেশ্য নিয়ে, পাহাড়-পর্বতে তাদের হত্যা করার এবং পৃথিবীর বুক থেকে তাদের নিশ্চিহ্ন করে ফেলার জন্যই তিনি তাদের বের করে এনেছেন’? তোমার প্রচণ্ড ক্রোধ প্রশমিত করো; কোমল হও ও তোমার এই প্রজাদের উপর বিপর্যয় ডেকে এনো না।
13 ౧౩ నీ సేవకులైన అబ్రాహాము, ఇస్సాకు, యాకోబులను జ్ఞాపకం చేసుకో. ఆకాశంలో ఉండే నక్షత్రాలవలే మీ సంతానాన్ని అభివృద్ధి పరచి నేను చెప్పిన ఈ భూమి అంతటినీ మీ సంతానానికి ఇస్తాననీ, వాళ్ళు శాశ్వతంగా దాన్ని స్వాధీనం చేసుకుంటారనీ, దానికి నువ్వే సాక్ష్యం అనీ వాళ్ళతో ఒప్పందం చేశావు” అన్నాడు.
তোমার সেই দাস অব্রাহাম, ইস্হাক ও যাকোবকে স্মরণ করো, যাদের কাছে তুমি নিজের নামে শপথ করে বলেছিলে: ‘আমি তোমার বংশধরদের আকাশের তারার মতো অসংখ্য করে তুলব এবং আমি তোমার বংশধরদের এই সমগ্র দেশটি দেব, যেটি আমি তাদের দেওয়ার প্রতিজ্ঞা করলাম, এবং চিরকালের জন্য এই দেশটি তাদের উত্তরাধিকার হবে।’”
তখন সদাপ্রভু কোমল হলেন এবং তাঁর প্রজাদের উপর যে বিপর্যয় ডেকে আনার হুমকি তিনি দিয়েছিলেন, তা আর আনেননি।
15 ౧౫ దేవుడు తన స్వహస్తాలతో రాసి ఇచ్చిన రెండు పలకలు మోషే చేతిలో ఉన్నాయి. ఆ పలకలపై రెండువైపులా దేవుడు నియమించిన ఆజ్ఞలు రాసి ఉన్నాయి.
মোশি ঘুরে দাঁড়ালেন এবং বিধিনিয়মের সেই দুটি ফলক হাতে নিয়ে পাহাড় থেকে নিচে নেমে এলেন। সেই ফলকগুলির সামনে ও পিছনে, দুই দিকেই বিধিনিয়ম খোদাই করা ছিল।
ফলকগুলি ছিল ঈশ্বরের কাজ; রচনাটি ছিল ফলকগুলির উপর খোদাই করা ঈশ্বরের রচনা।
17 ౧౭ శిబిరంలో ప్రజలు వేస్తున్న కేకల శబ్దం యెహోషువకు వినబడింది. “మన శిబిరంలో యుద్ధ ధ్వని వినబడుతోంది” అన్నాడు.
যিহোশূয় যখন লোকজনের চিৎকার শুনলেন, তখন তিনি মোশিকে বললেন, “শিবিরে যুদ্ধের শব্দ হচ্ছে।”
মোশি উত্তর দিলেন: “এটি জয়ধ্বনির শব্দ নয়, এটি পরাজয়ের শব্দ নয়; আমি গানের শব্দ শুনতে পাচ্ছি।”
19 ౧౯ అతడు శిబిరం చేరుకున్నప్పుడు ప్రజలు చేసుకున్న ఆ దూడ, నాట్యం చేస్తున్న ప్రజలు కనిపించారు. మోషే కోపం రగులుకుంది. అతడు తన చేతుల్లో ఉన్న పలకలను కొండ కింది భాగానికి విసిరేసి వాటిని పగలగొట్టాడు.
মোশি যখন শিবিরের কাছাকাছি এলেন, এবং সেই বাছুরটিকে ও নাচানাচি দেখলেন, তখন তিনি ক্রোধে ফেটে পড়লেন এবং তিনি ফলকগুলি হাত থেকে ছুঁড়ে ফেলে দিয়ে পর্বতের পাদদেশে সেগুলি ভেঙে টুকরো টুকরো করে দিলেন।
20 ౨౦ ప్రజలు తయారు చేసుకున్న ఆ దూడను తీసుకుని అగ్నితో కాల్చి పొడి చేశాడు. ఆ పొడిని నీళ్లలో కలిపి ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల చేత తాగించాడు.
আর তিনি লোকদের তৈরি করা সেই বাছুরটি নিয়ে আগুনে পুড়িয়ে দিলেন; পরে তিনি সেটি পিষে গুঁড়ো করে, তা জলের উপর ছড়িয়ে দিলেন এবং ইস্রায়েলীদের তা পান করতে বাধ্য করলেন।
21 ౨౧ అప్పుడు మోషే “ఈ ప్రజల మీదికి ఈ గొప్ప అపరాధం వచ్చేలా చేయడానికి వీళ్ళు నిన్ను ఎలా ప్రేరేపించారు?” అని అహరోనును అడిగాడు.
তিনি হারোণকে বললেন, “এই লোকেরা তোমার কী করেছিল, যে তুমি তাদের দিয়ে এত বড়ো পাপ করালে?”
“হে আমার প্রভু, ক্রুদ্ধ হবেন না,” হারোণ উত্তর দিলেন। “আপনি তো জানেন এই লোকেরা কত দুষ্টতাপ্রবণ।
23 ౨౩ వాళ్ళు ‘మా ముందుండి మమ్మల్ని నడిపించడానికి ఒక దేవుణ్ణి సిద్ధం చెయ్యి. ఐగుప్తు దేశం నుండి మమ్మల్ని తీసుకు వచ్చిన మోషే ఏమయ్యాడో మాకు తెలియడం లేదు’ అన్నారు.
তারা আমাকে বলল, ‘আমাদের জন্য এমন সব দেবতা তৈরি করে দিন, যারা আমাদের অগ্রগামী হবেন। যে মোশি আমাদের মিশর থেকে বের করে এনেছেন, তার কী হয়েছে তা আমরা জানি না।’
24 ౨౪ అప్పుడు నేను ఎవరి దగ్గర బంగారం ఉన్నదో వాళ్ళంతా దాన్ని ఊడదీసి తీసుకు రండి అని చెప్పాను. వాళ్ళు తెచ్చిన దాన్ని అగ్నిలో వేస్తే ఈ దూడ అయ్యింది” అని చెప్పాడు.
তাই আমি তাদের বললাম, ‘যার যার কাছে সোনার অলংকার আছে, সেগুলি খুলে ফেলো।’ তখন তারা আমাকে সেই সোনা দিয়েছিল, আর আমি সেগুলি আগুনে ফেলে দিয়েছিলাম, ও সেখান থেকে এই বাছুরটি বেরিয়ে এসেছে!”
25 ౨౫ ప్రజలు తమ శత్రువుల ఎదుట నవ్వులపాలు కావడానికి అహరోను కారకుడయ్యాడు. ప్రజలు విచ్చలవిడితనంగా తిరగడం మోషే గమనించాడు.
মোশি দেখলেন যে, লোকেরা যা খুশি তাই করছে এবং হারোণও তাদের লাগামছাড়া হতে দিয়েছেন ও এভাবে তাদের শত্রুদের কাছে উপহাসের পাত্রে পরিণত হয়েছেন।
26 ౨౬ అప్పుడు మోషే శిబిరం ద్వారం దగ్గర నిలబడి “యెహోవా పక్షంగా ఉన్నవాళ్ళంతా నా దగ్గరికి రండి” అన్నాడు. లేవీయులంతా అతని దగ్గరికి వచ్చారు.
অতএব তিনি শিবিরের প্রবেশদ্বারে দাঁড়িয়ে বললেন, “যে কেউ সদাপ্রভুর স্বপক্ষে, সে আমার কাছে চলে এসো।” আর লেবীয়রা সবাই তাঁর কাছে এসে একত্রিত হল।
27 ౨౭ అతడు వాళ్ళను చూసి “మీలో ప్రతి ఒక్కరూ మీ కత్తులు నడుముకు కట్టుకోండి, శిబిరంలో గుమ్మం నుండి గుమ్మానికి వెళ్తూ ప్రతి ఒక్కరూ తమ సోదరుణ్ణి, తమ స్నేహితుణ్ణి, తమ పొరుగువాణ్ణి సంహరించండి” అన్నాడు.
তখন তিনি তাদের বললেন, “ইস্রায়েলের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভু একথাই বলেন: ‘প্রত্যেকে নিজের নিজের দেহের পাশে একটি করে তরোয়াল বেঁধে নিক। শিবিরের এক প্রান্ত থেকে অন্য প্রান্ত পর্যন্ত সে আসা যাওয়া করুক, এবং প্রত্যেকে তার ভাই ও বন্ধু ও প্রতিবেশীকে হত্যা করুক।’”
লেবীয়রা মোশির আদেশানুসারেই কাজ করল, আর সেদিন প্রায় 3,000 লোক মারা গেল।
29 ౨౯ మోషే లేవీయులతో “మిమ్మల్ని మీరు యెహోవాకు ప్రతిష్ట చేసుకోండి. మీలో ప్రతి ఒక్కరూ మీ కొడుకులనూ, సోదరులనూ చంపి యెహోవా ఆశీర్వాదాలు పొందారు” అన్నాడు.
তখন মোশি বললেন, “আজ তোমরা সদাপ্রভুর উদ্দেশে পৃথক হলে, কারণ তোমরা তোমাদের নিজের ছেলে ও ভাইদের বিরুদ্ধে রুখে দাঁড়িয়েছ, এবং এই দিনে তিনি তোমাদের আশীর্বাদ করেছেন।”
30 ౩౦ మరుసటి రోజు మోషే ప్రజలతో “మీరు గొప్ప పాపం చేశారు. నేను యెహోవా దగ్గరికి కొండ ఎక్కి వెళ్తాను. ఒకవేళ మీరు చేసిన పాపం కోసం ఏదైనా ప్రాయశ్చిత్తం చేయగలనేమో” అన్నాడు.
পরদিন মোশি লোকদের বললেন, “তোমরা মহাপাপ করেছ। কিন্তু আমি সদাপ্রভুর কাছে যাব; হয়তো আমি তোমাদের পাপের প্রায়শ্চিত্ত করতে পারব।”
31 ౩౧ మోషే యెహోవా కొండకు మళ్ళీ వెళ్ళాడు. “అయ్యో, ఈ ప్రజలు ఎంతో పాపం చేశారు. వాళ్ళు తమ కోసం బంగారు దేవుణ్ణి చేసుకున్నారు.
অতএব মোশি সদাপ্রভুর কাছে ফিরে গিয়ে বললেন, “হায়, হায়, এই লোকেরা কী মহাপাপই না করেছে! তারা নিজেদের জন্য সোনার দেবতা তৈরি করেছে।
32 ౩౨ అయ్యో, వాళ్ళు చేసిన పాపాన్ని పరిహరించు, లేని పక్షంలో నువ్వు రాసిన నీ గ్రంథంలో నుండి నా పేరు తొలగించు” అని బతిమాలుకున్నాడు.
কিন্তু এখন, দয়া করে এদের পাপ ক্ষমা করো—কিন্তু যদি না করো, তবে তোমার লেখা বই থেকে আমার নামটি মুছে ফেলো।”
33 ౩౩ అందుకు యెహోవా “నాకు విరోధంగా ఎవరు పాపం చేస్తారో వాళ్ళ పేర్లు మాత్రమే నా గ్రంథంలో నుండి తొలగిస్తాను.
সদাপ্রভু মোশিকে উত্তর দিলেন, “যে কেউ আমার বিরুদ্ধে পাপ করেছে, তারই নাম আমি আমার বই থেকে মুছে ফেলব।
34 ౩౪ నువ్వు వెళ్లి నేను నీతో చెప్పిన చోటికి ప్రజలను నడిపించు. నా దూతను నీకు ముందుగా పంపుతున్నాను. నేను శిక్షించే రోజున వాళ్ళ పాపం విషయంలో వాళ్ళకు శిక్ష రప్పిస్తాను” అని మోషేతో చెప్పాడు.
এখন যাও, যে স্থানের কথা আমি বলেছিলাম, লোকদের সেখানে নিয়ে যাও এবং আমার দূত তোমার অগ্রগামী হবেন। অবশ্য, যখন শাস্তি দেওয়ার সময় আসবে, তখন তাদের পাপের জন্য আমি তাদের শাস্তি দেব।”
আর হারোণের তৈরি করা সেই বাছুরটিকে নিয়ে লোকেরা যা করেছিল সেজন্য সদাপ্রভু এক সংক্রামক মহামারি দ্বারা লোকদের আঘাত করলেন।
