ఆదికాండము 48
1 ౧ ఈ సంగతులైన తరువాత “ఇదిగో, మీ నాన్నకు ఒంట్లో బాగాలేదు” అని ఒకడు యోసేపుతో చెప్పాడు. అప్పుడతడు మనష్షే, ఎఫ్రాయిము అనే తన ఇద్దరు కొడుకులను వెంటబెట్టుకుని వెళ్ళాడు.
কিছুকাল পর যোষেফকে বলা হল, “আপনার বাবা অসুস্থ হয়ে পড়েছেন।” অতএব তিনি তাঁর দুই ছেলে মনঃশি ও ইফ্রয়িমকে সঙ্গে করে নিয়ে গেলেন।
2 ౨ “ఇదిగో నీ కొడుకు యోసేపు నీ దగ్గరికి వస్తున్నాడు” అని యాకోబుకు తెలిసింది. అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు బలం తెచ్చుకుని తన మంచం మీద కూర్చున్నాడు.
যাকোবকে যখন বলা হল, “আপনার ছেলে যোষেফ আপনার কাছে এসেছেন,” তখন ইস্রায়েল শক্তি সঞ্চয় করে বিছানায় উঠে বসলেন।
যাকোব যোষেফকে বললেন, “সর্বশক্তিমান ঈশ্বর কনান দেশের লূসে আমাকে দর্শন দিয়েছিলেন, এবং সেখানে তিনি আমাকে আশীর্বাদ করেছিলেন
4 ౪ ‘ఇదిగో నిన్ను ఫలవంతంగా చేసి, విస్తరింపజేస్తాను. నువ్వు జన సమూహమయ్యేలా చేస్తాను. నీ వారసులకు ఈ దేశాన్ని నిత్య స్వాస్థ్యంగా ఇస్తాను’ అన్నాడు.
ও আমাকে বলেছিলেন, ‘আমি তোমাকে ফলবান করতে ও তোমার সংখ্যা বৃদ্ধি করতে চলেছি। আমি তোমাকে এক জনসমাজে পরিণত করব, এবং আমি তোমার পরে তোমার বংশধরদের এই দেশটি চিরস্থায়ী এক অধিকাররূপে দেব।’
5 ౫ నేను ఐగుప్తుకు నీ దగ్గరికి రాకముందు ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో నీకు పుట్టిన నీ ఇద్దరు కొడుకులు నా బిడ్డలే. రూబేను షిమ్యోనుల్లాగే ఎఫ్రాయిము, మనష్షే నా కొడుకులే.
“এখন তবে, আমি তোমার কাছে এখানে আসার আগে মিশরে তোমার যে দুই ছেলে জন্মেছিল, তারা আমারই বলে গণ্য হবে; ইফ্রয়িম ও মনঃশি আমারই হবে, ঠিক যেমন রূবেণ ও শিমিয়োনও আমার।
6 ౬ వారి తరువాత నీకు పుట్టిన సంతానం నీదే. వారి పేర్లు వారి సోదరుల స్వాస్థ్యం జాబితాల ప్రకారం నమోదు అవుతాయి.
এদের পরে তোমার যে কোনো সন্তান জন্মাবে, তারা তোমারই হবে; উত্তরাধিকারসূত্রে প্রাপ্ত সেই অঞ্চলে তারা তাদের দাদাদের নামেই পরিচিত হবে।
7 ౭ పద్దనరాము నుండి నేను వస్తున్నపుడు, ఎఫ్రాతాకు ఇంకా కొంత దూరాన ఉన్నపుడు ప్రయాణంలో రాహేలు కనాను దేశంలో చనిపోయింది. అక్కడ బేత్లెహేము అనే ఎఫ్రాతా దారిలో నేను ఆమెను పాతిపెట్టాను” అని యాకోబు చెప్పాడు.
আমি যখন পদ্দন থেকে ফিরছিলাম, তখন আমাদের যাত্রাপথেই ইফ্রাথ থেকে খানিকটা দূরে সেই কনান দেশে রাহেল মারা গিয়েছিল। তাই ইফ্রাথে (অথবা, বেথলেহেমে) যাওয়ার পথের পাশে আমি তাকে কবর দিয়েছিলাম।”
ইস্রায়েল যখন যোষেফের ছেলেদের দেখলেন, তখন তিনি তাঁকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, “এরা কারা?”
9 ౯ యోసేపు “వీళ్ళు నా కొడుకులు. వీరిని ఈ దేశంలో దేవుడు నాకిచ్చాడు” అని తన తండ్రితో చెప్పాడు. అందుకతడు “నేను వారిని దీవించడానికి నా దగ్గరికి వారిని తీసుకు రా” అన్నాడు.
“এরা সেই ছেলেরা, ঈশ্বর যাদের এখানে আমাকে দিয়েছেন,” যোষেফ তাঁর বাবাকে বললেন। তখন ইস্রায়েল বললেন, “তাদের আমার কাছে নিয়ে এসো, যেন আমি তাদের আশীর্বাদ করতে পারি।”
10 ౧౦ ఇశ్రాయేలు కళ్ళు వృద్ధాప్యం వలన మసకబారి చూడలేక పోయాడు. కాబట్టి, యోసేపు వారిని అతని దగ్గరికి తీసుకు వచ్చాడు. అతడు వారిని ముద్దు పెట్టుకుని కౌగిలించుకున్నాడు.
বার্ধক্যের কারণে ইস্রায়েলের চোখের দৃষ্টি ক্ষীণ হয়ে এসেছিল, এবং দেখতে তাঁর খুব অসুবিধা হত। তাই যোষেফ নিজের ছেলেদের তাঁর খুব কাছে নিয়ে এলেন, এবং তাঁর বাবা তাদের চুমু দিলেন ও তাদের আলিঙ্গন করলেন।
11 ౧౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు యోసేపుతో “నీ ముఖాన్ని మళ్ళీ చూస్తానని నేను అనుకోలేదు. అయితే, నీ సంతానాన్ని కూడా దేవుడు నన్ను చూడనిచ్చాడు” అన్నాడు.
ইস্রায়েল যোষেফকে বললেন, “আমি কখনও আশা করিনি যে তোমার মুখ আবার দেখতে পাব, আর ঈশ্বর এখন আমাকে তোমার সন্তানদেরও দেখার সুযোগ করে দিলেন।”
পরে যোষেফ ইস্রায়েলের দুই হাঁটুর মাঝখান থেকে তাদের সরিয়ে দিলেন এবং মাটিতে মুখ ঠেকিয়ে নতজানু হলেন
13 ౧౩ తరువాత యోసేపు ఇశ్రాయేలు ఎడమచేతి వైపు తన కుడిచేత ఎఫ్రాయిమును, ఇశ్రాయేలు కుడిచేతి వైపు తన ఎడమ చేత మనష్షేను పట్టుకుని, వారిద్దరిని అతని సమీపంగా తీసుకు వచ్చాడు.
আর যোষেফ তাদের দুজনকে নিয়ে, ইফ্রয়িমকে নিজের ডানদিকে রেখে ইস্রায়েলের বাঁ হাতের দিকে এবং মনঃশিকে নিজের বাঁদিকে রেখে ইস্রায়েলের ডান হাতের দিকে এগিয়ে দিলেন, এবং তাঁর খুব কাছাকাছি নিয়ে এলেন।
কিন্তু ইস্রায়েল তাঁর ডান হাত বাড়িয়ে দিলেন এবং তা ইফ্রয়িমের মাথায় রাখলেন, যদিও সেই ছিল ছোটো, এবং তাঁর হাত দুটি আড়াআড়িভাবে বাড়িয়ে দিয়ে, তিনি তাঁর বাঁ হাত মনঃশির মাথায় রাখলেন, যদিও মনঃশিই ছিল প্রথমজাত সন্তান।
15 ౧౫ ఇశ్రాయేలు యోసేపును దీవించి “నా పూర్వీకులు అబ్రాహాము ఇస్సాకులు ఎవరి సమక్షంలో నడుచుకున్నారో ఆ దేవుడు, ఇప్పటి వరకూ నన్ను పోషించిన ఆ దేవుడు,
পরে তিনি যোষেফকে আশীর্বাদ করে বললেন, “আমার পূর্বপুরুষ অব্রাহাম ও ইস্হাক যে ঈশ্বরের সামনে বিশ্বস্ততাপূর্বক চলাফেরা করতেন, আজও পর্যন্ত আমার সমগ্র জীবনভোর যে ঈশ্বর আমার মেষপালক হয়ে থেকেছেন,
16 ౧౬ సమస్త కీడుల నుంచి నన్ను కాపాడిన దూత, ఈ పిల్లలను దీవించు గాక. నా పేరు, అబ్రాహాము ఇస్సాకులనే నా పితరుల పేరు వారికి కలుగు గాక. లోకంలో వారు విస్తార జనసమూహంగా అవుతారు గాక” అన్నాడు.
যে দূত আমাকে সব অনিষ্ট থেকে রক্ষা করেছেন, তিনিই এই বালকদের আশীর্বাদ করুন। তারা আমার এবং আমার পূর্বপুরুষ অব্রাহাম ও ইস্হাকের নাম দ্বারাই পরিচিত হোক, আর তারা এই পৃথিবীর বুকে ব্যাপকভাবে বৃদ্ধিলাভ করুক।”
17 ౧౭ యోసేపు ఎఫ్రాయిము తల మీద తన తండ్రి కుడిచెయ్యి పెట్టడం చూశాడు. అది అతనికి నచ్చలేదు. అతడు మనష్షే తల మీద పెట్టించాలని తన తండ్రి చెయ్యి, ఎఫ్రాయిము తలమీద నుండి ఎత్తి,
যোষেফ যখন দেখলেন যে তাঁর বাবা তাঁর ডান হাত ইফ্রয়িমের মাথায় রেখেছেন তখন তিনি অসন্তুষ্ট হলেন; তাই তিনি তাঁর বাবার হাতটি মনঃশির মাথার উপর রাখার জন্য সেটি ধরে ইফ্রয়িমের মাথার উপর থেকে সরিয়ে দিলেন।
যোষেফ তাঁকে বললেন, “হে আমার বাবা, না না, এই প্রথমজাত, এরই মাথার উপর আপনার ডান হাতটি রাখুন।”
19 ౧౯ అతని తండ్రి ఒప్పుకోక “నాకు తెలుసు. కచ్చితంగా తెలుసు. ఇతడు కూడా ఒక జన సమూహమై గొప్పవాడవుతాడు. అయితే, ఇతని తమ్ముడు ఇతని కంటే గొప్పవాడవుతాడు. అతని సంతానం జన సమూహాలు అవుతారు” అన్నాడు.
কিন্তু তাঁর বাবা তা প্রত্যাখ্যান করে বললেন, “আমি জানি, বাছা, আমি জানি। সেও এক জাতিতে পরিণত হবে, এবং সেও মহান হবে। তা সত্ত্বেও, তার ছোটো ভাই তার থেকেও মহান হবে এবং তার বংশধরেরা এক জাতিপুঞ্জ হবে।”
20 ౨౦ ఆ రోజు అతడు వారిని ఇలా దీవించాడు. “ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు ఎవరినైనా దీవించేటపుడు, ‘ఎఫ్రాయిములాగా మనష్షేలాగా దేవుడు మిమ్మల్ని చేస్తాడు గాక’ అని మీ పేరెత్తి దీవిస్తారు” అని చెప్పి మనష్షే కంటే ఎఫ్రాయిమును ముందుగా ఉంచాడు.
সেদিন তিনি তাদের আশীর্বাদ করে বললেন, “তোমার নামেই ইস্রায়েল এই আশীর্বাদ উচ্চারণ করবে: ‘ঈশ্বর তোমাকে ইফ্রয়িম ও মনঃশির মতো করুন।’” অতএব তিনি ইফ্রয়িমকে মনঃশির আগে রাখলেন।
21 ౨౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు “ఇదిగో నేను చనిపోతున్నాను, అయినా దేవుడు మీకు తోడై ఉండి మీ పూర్వీకుల దేశానికి మిమ్మల్ని తిరిగి రప్పిస్తాడు.
পরে ইস্রায়েল যোষেফকে বললেন, “আমি মরতে চলেছি, কিন্তু ঈশ্বর তোমাদের সহবর্তী থাকবেন এবং তোমাদের পূর্বপুরুষদের দেশে তোমাদের ফিরিয়ে নিয়ে যাবেন।
22 ౨౨ నేను నీ సోదరులకంటే నీకు ఒక భాగం ఎక్కువ ఇచ్చాను. దాన్ని, నా కత్తితో నా వింటితో, అమోరీయుల చేతిలో నుండి తీసుకున్నాను” అని యోసేపుతో చెప్పాడు.
আর আমি তোমার দাদা-ভাইদের যা দেব তা থেকেও তোমাকে দেশের আরও একটি বেশি শৈলশিরা দেব, যে শৈলশিরাটি আমি আমার তরোয়াল ও আমার ধনুক দিয়ে ইমোরীয়দের কাছ থেকে অধিকার করেছিলাম।”
