మత్తయి 3
ওইসব দিনগুলিতে বাপ্তিষ্মদাতা যোহন, যিহূদিয়ার মরুপ্রান্তরে উপস্থিত হয়ে প্রচার করতে লাগলেন,
“মন পরিবর্তন করো, কারণ স্বর্গরাজ্য এসে পড়ল।”
3 ౩ పూర్వం యెషయా ప్రవక్త, అరణ్యంలో ఒకడి స్వరం ఇలా బిగ్గరగా పిలుస్తూ ఉంది. ప్రభువు కోసం దారి సిద్ధం చేయండి. ఆయన దారులు తిన్నగా చేయండి, అని చెప్పింది ఇతని గురించే.
ইনিই সেই মানুষ, যাঁর সম্পর্কে ভাববাদী যিশাইয় বলেছিলেন: “মরুপ্রান্তরে একজনের কণ্ঠস্বর আহ্বান করছে, ‘তোমরা প্রভুর জন্য পথ প্রস্তুত করো, তাঁর জন্য রাজপথগুলি সরল করো।’”
4 ౪ ఈ యోహాను ఒంటె వెంట్రుకలతో నేసిన బట్టలూ నడుముకు తోలు నడికట్టు కట్టుకునేవాడు. అతని ఆహారం మిడతలు, అడవి తేనె.
যোহনের পোশাক ছিল উটের লোমে তৈরি এবং তার কোমরে এক চামড়ার বেল্ট জড়ানো থাকত। তিনি পঙ্গপাল ও বনমধু খেতেন।
লোকেরা জেরুশালেম, সমস্ত যিহূদিয়া ও জর্ডনের সমগ্র অঞ্চল থেকে তাঁর কাছে যেতে লাগল।
তারা নিজের নিজের পাপস্বীকার করে জর্ডন নদীতে তাঁর কাছে বাপ্তিষ্ম নিতে লাগল।
7 ౭ చాలామంది పరిసయ్యులూ సద్దూకయ్యులూ బాప్తిసం పొందడానికి రావడం చూసి అతడు, “విషసర్పాల పిల్లలారా, రాబోయే దేవుని ఆగ్రహాన్ని తప్పించుకోమని మిమ్మల్ని ఎవరు హెచ్చరించారు?
তিনি যেখানে বাপ্তিষ্ম দিচ্ছিলেন, সেখানে যখন বহু ফরিশী ও সদ্দূকীদের আসতে দেখলেন, তিনি তাদের বললেন, “তোমরা বিষধর সাপের বংশ! সন্নিকট ক্রোধ থেকে পালিয়ে যেতে কে তোমাদের চেতনা দিল?
তোমরা এমন সব কাজ করো যেন তার দ্বারা বোঝা যায় যে তোমাদের মন পরিবর্তন হয়েছে।
9 ౯ ‘అబ్రాహాము మా తండ్రి’ అని మీలో మీరు అనుకోవద్దు. దేవుడు ఈ రాళ్ల నుంచి అబ్రాహాముకు పిల్లలను పుట్టించగలడని మీతో చెబుతున్నాను.
আর ভেবো না, মনে মনে নিজেদের বলতে পারবে, ‘অব্রাহাম আমাদের পিতা।’ আমি তোমাদের বলছি, ঈশ্বর এই পাথরগুলি থেকেও অব্রাহামের জন্য সন্তান সৃষ্টি করতে পারেন।
10 ౧౦ ఇప్పటికే గొడ్డలి చెట్ల వేరుకు ఆనించి ఉంది. మంచి ఫలాలు ఫలించని ప్రతి చెట్టునూ నరికి మంటల్లో పడేస్తారు.
গাছগুলির শিকড়ে ইতিমধ্যেই কুড়ুল লাগানো আছে। যে গাছে উৎকৃষ্ট ফল ধরে না, তা কেটে আগুনে নিক্ষেপ করা হবে।
11 ౧౧ పశ్చాత్తాపానికి అనుగుణంగా నేను నీళ్లతో మీకు బాప్తిసమిస్తూ ఉన్నాను. కానీ నా వెనుక వచ్చేవాడు నాకంటే గొప్పవాడు. ఆయన చెప్పులు మోయడానికి కూడా నేను తగను. ఆయన పరిశుద్ధాత్మతో, అగ్నితో మీకు బాప్తిసమిస్తాడు.
“তোমরা মন পরিবর্তন করেছ বলে আমি তোমাদের জলে বাপ্তিষ্ম দিচ্ছি ঠিকই, কিন্তু আমার পরে একজন আসবেন, তিনি আমার চেয়েও পরাক্রমশালী; আমি তাঁর চটিজুতো বওয়ারও যোগ্য নই। তিনি তোমাদের পবিত্র আত্মায় ও আগুনে বাপ্তিষ্ম দেবেন।
12 ౧౨ తూర్పారబట్టే చేట ఆయన చేతిలో ఉంది. ఆయన తన కళ్ళం బాగా శుభ్రం చేసి తన గోదుమలు గిడ్డంగిలో పోస్తాడు. పొట్టును ఆరిపోని మంటల్లో కాల్చివేస్తాడు” అని చెప్పాడు.
শস্য ঝাড়াই করার কুলো তাঁর হাতেই আছে এবং তিনি তাঁর খামার পরিষ্কার করবেন। তিনি তাঁর গম গোলাঘরে সংগ্রহ করবেন এবং তুষ অনির্বাণ আগুনে পুড়িয়ে দেবেন।”
13 ౧౩ ఆ సమయాన యోహాను చేత బాప్తిసం పొందడానికి యేసు గలిలయ ప్రాంతం నుండి యొర్దాను నది దగ్గరికి వచ్చాడు.
এরপর যীশু যোহনের কাছে বাপ্তিষ্ম গ্রহণের জন্য গালীল প্রদেশ থেকে জর্ডনে এলেন।
14 ౧౪ అయితే యోహాను, “నేను నీచేత బాప్తిసం పొందవలసి ఉండగా, నీవు నా దగ్గరికి వస్తున్నావా?” అని ఆయనను నివారింపజూశాడు.
কিন্তু যোহন তাঁকে বারণ করার চেষ্টা করে বললেন, “আপনার কাছে আমারই বাপ্তিষ্ম নেওয়া প্রয়োজন, আর আপনি কি না আমার কাছে আসছেন?”
15 ౧౫ కానీ యేసు, “ఇప్పటికి కానివ్వు. నీతి అంతా ఇలా నెరవేర్చడం మనకు సబబే” అని అతనికి జవాబిచ్చాడు, కాబట్టి అతడు ఆ విధంగా చేశాడు.
উত্তরে যীশু বললেন, “এখন সেইরকমই হোক; সমস্ত ধার্মিকতা পূরণের জন্য আমাদের এরকম করা উপযুক্ত।” তখন যোহন সম্মত হলেন।
16 ౧౬ యేసు బాప్తిసం పొంది నీళ్లలో నుండి ఒడ్డుకు వచ్చాడు. వెంటనే ఆకాశం తెరుచుకుంది. దేవుని ఆత్మ పావురంలాగా దిగి తన మీద వాలడం ఆయన చూశాడు.
বাপ্তাইজিত হওয়ার পরে পরেই যীশু জল থেকে উঠে এলেন। সেই মুহূর্তে স্বর্গলোক উন্মুক্ত হল, আর তিনি দেখলেন, ঈশ্বরের আত্মা কপোতের আকারে তাঁর উপরে নেমে এসে অধিষ্ঠান করছেন।
17 ౧౭ “ఇదిగో చూడండి, ఈయనే నా ప్రియమైన కుమారుడు, ఈయనంటే నాకెంతో ఆనందం” అని ఒక స్వరం ఆకాశం నుండి వినిపించింది.
তখন স্বর্গ থেকে এক কণ্ঠস্বর শোনা গেল, “ইনিই আমার প্রিয় পুত্র, যাঁর উপরে আমি পরম প্রসন্ন।”
