বংশাবলির দ্বিতীয় খণ্ড 33

1 ১ মনঃশির বয়স বারো বছর ছিল যখন তিনি রাজত্ব শুরু করেছিলেন এবং যিরূশালেমে পঞ্চান্ন বছর ধরে রাজত্ব করেছিলেন।

౧మనష్షే పరిపాలించడం మొదలుపెట్టినప్పుడు అతని వయసు 12 ఏళ్ళు. అతడు యెరూషలేములో 55 ఏళ్ళు పాలించాడు.

2 ২ তিনি সদাপ্রভুর চোখে যা মন্দ তাই করতেন; সদাপ্রভু ইস্রায়েলীয়দের সামনে থেকে যে সব জাতিকে তাড়িয়ে দিয়েছিলেন তাদের মত জঘন্য কাজ করতেন।

౨ఇతడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దగ్గర నుంచి యెహోవా వెళ్లగొట్టిన రాజ్యాల ప్రజలు చేసిన నీచమైన పనులు అనుసరించి, యెహోవా దృష్టికి చెడుగా ప్రవర్తించాడు.

3 ৩ তাঁর বাবা হিষ্কিয় পূজার যে সব উঁচু জায়গা ধ্বংস করেছিলেন তিনি সেগুলো আবার তৈরী করালেন। এছাড়া তিনি বাল দেবতার উদ্দেশ্যে কতগুলো বেদী ও আশেরা মূর্ত্তি তৈরী করলেন। তিনি আকাশের সব তারাগুলোর সামনে মাথা নত করে পূজা ও সেবা করলেন।

౩ఇతడు తన తండ్రియైన హిజ్కియా పడగొట్టిన ఉన్నత స్థలాలను తిరిగి కట్టించి, బయలు దేవతకు బలిపీఠాలను నిలిపి, అషేరా దేవతాస్తంభాలను చేయించి, ఆకాశనక్షత్రాలన్నిటిని పూజించి కొలిచాడు.

4 ৪ যে ঘরের বিষয় সদাপ্রভু বলেছিলেন, “আমার নাম চিরকাল যিরূশালেমে থাকবে,” সদাপ্রভুর সেই ঘরের মধ্যে তিনি কতগুলো বেদী তৈরী করলেন।

౪“యెరూషలేములో నా పేరు ఎప్పటికీ ఉంటుంది” అని యెహోవా ఏ స్థలాన్ని ఉద్దేశించి పలికాడో అదే యెహోవా మందిరంలో అతడు అన్య దేవుళ్ళకు బలిపీఠాలను కట్టించాడు.

5 ৫ সদাপ্রভুর ঘরের দুইটি উঠানেই তিনি আকাশের সমস্ত তারাগুলোর উদ্দেশ্যে যজ্ঞবেদী তৈরী করলেন।

౫యెహోవా మందిరపు రెండు ఆవరణాల్లో అతడు ఆకాశ నక్షత్ర సమూహానికి బలిపీఠాలను కట్టించాడు.

6 ৬ বিন্‌-হিন্নোম উপত্যকায় তাঁর নিজের ছেলেদের তিনি আগুনে পুড়িয়ে উৎসর্গ করলেন। যারা গণনা করে ভবিষ্যতের কথা বলে, মায়াবিদ্যা ও যাদুবিদ্যা ব্যবহার করে এবং মৃতদের সঙ্গে কথা বলে আর মন্দ আত্মাদের সঙ্গে যারা কথা বলে তিনি তাদের সঙ্গে পরামর্শ করতেন। সদাপ্রভুর চোখে অনেক মন্দ কাজ করে তিনি তাঁকে অসন্তুষ্ট করেছেন।

౬బెన్‌ హిన్నోము లోయలో అతడు తన కొడుకులను దహనబలిగా అర్పించాడు. శకునాలు చూడడం, సోదె వినడం చేశాడు. మంత్ర విద్య చేయించాడు. చచ్చినవాళ్ళతో మాట్లాడే వారిని దయ్యాలతో మాట్లాడే వారిని సంప్రదించాడు. యెహోవా దృష్టిలో చాలా చెడ్డగా ప్రవర్తిస్తూ ఆయనకు కోపం పుట్టించాడు.

7 ৭ তিনি নিজে যে মুর্ত্তিটি খোদাই করে তৈরী করেছিলেন সেটা নিয়ে ঈশ্বরের ঘরে রাখলেন। ঈশ্বর যে ঘর সম্পর্কে দায়ূদ ও তাঁর ছেলে শলোমনকে বলেছিলেন, “এই ঘর ও ইস্রায়েলের সমস্ত গোষ্ঠীর মধ্য থেকে আমার বেছে নেওয়া এই যিরূশালেমে আমি চিরকালের জন্য আমার নামের বসবাসের জায়গা করব।

౭“ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల గోత్రాలన్నిటిలో నేను ఎన్నుకున్న యెరూషలేములో నాపేరు ఎల్లప్పుడూ ఉంచుతాను.

8 ৮ আমি ইস্রায়েলীয়দের যে সব আদেশ দিয়েছি, অর্থাৎ মোশির মধ্য দিয়ে যে সব ব্যবস্থা, নিয়ম ও নির্দেশ দিয়েছি যদি কেবল তারা যত্নের সঙ্গে তা পালন করে তবে যে দেশ আমি তোমাদের পূর্বপুরুষদের দিয়েছি সেখান থেকে তাদের আর দূর করে দেব না।”

౮నేను మోషేద్వారా నియమించిన కట్టడలను విధులను ధర్మశాస్త్రమంతటిని అనుసరించి నడచుకొనడానికి వారు జాగ్రత్తపడితే, మీ పూర్వీకులకు నేను ఏర్పరచిన దేశం నుంచి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను నేను ఇక ఎన్నటికీ తొలగించను” అని దావీదుతో అతని కొడుకు సొలొమోనుతో దేవుడు సెలవిచ్చిన మాటను లక్ష్యపెట్టక, ఆ మందిరంలో తాను చేయించిన అషేరా చెక్కుడు విగ్రహాన్ని నిలిపాడు.

9 ৯ যিহূদা ও যিরূশালেমের লোকদের মনঃশি বিপথে নিয়ে গেলেন; তার ফলে সদাপ্রভু ইস্রায়েলীয়দের সামনে থেকে যে সব জাতিকে ধ্বংস করে দিয়েছিলেন তাদের চেয়েও তারা আরও খারাপ কাজ করত।

౯యూదావారిని యెరూషలేము నివాసులనూ ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల ముందు నుంచి యెహోవా నాశనం చేసిన రాజ్యాలకంటే వారు మరింత దుర్మార్గంగా ప్రవర్తించేలా మనష్షే వారిని నడిపించాడు.

10 ১০ সদাপ্রভু মনঃশি ও তাঁর লোকদের কাছে কথা বলতেন কিন্তু তারা তাতে কান দিত না।

౧౦యెహోవా మనష్షేతో అతని ప్రజలతో మాట్లాడాడు కానీ వారు పట్టించుకోలేదు.

11 ১১ কাজেই সদাপ্রভু তাদের বিরুদ্ধে অশূর রাজার সেনাপতিদের নিয়ে আসলেন। তারা মনঃশিকে বন্দী করে তাঁর হাতকড়ি পরিয়ে ব্রোঞ্জের শিকল দিয়ে বেঁধে তাঁকে বাবিলে নিয়ে গেল।

౧౧కాబట్టి యెహోవా అష్షూరురాజు సైన్యాధిపతులను వారిమీదికి రప్పించాడు. వారు మనష్షేను పట్టుకుని, గొలుసులతో బంధించి అతణ్ణి బబులోను తీసుకు వెళ్ళారు.

12 ১২ যখন মনঃশি বিপদে পড়লেন, তিনি তাঁর ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর কাছে দয়া ভিক্ষা করলেন এবং তাঁর পূর্বপুরুষদের ঈশ্বরের সামনে নিজেকে খুবই নত করলেন।

౧౨బాధతో అతడు తన దేవుడైన యెహోవాను బతిమాలి, తన పూర్వీకుల దేవుని సన్నిధిలో తన్ను తాను ఎంతో తగ్గించుకున్నాడు.

13 ১৩ এই ভাবে তিনি প্রার্থনা করলে সদাপ্রভুর তাঁর প্রার্থনা গ্রাহ্য করলেন এবং তাঁর মিনতি শুনে তিনি তাঁকে যিরূশালেমে ও তাঁর রাজ্যে ফিরিয়ে আনলেন। তখন মনঃশি জানতে পারলেন যে, সদাপ্রভুই ঈশ্বর।

౧౩అతడు ప్రార్థన చేసినప్పుడు ఆయన అతని విన్నపాలు ఆలకించి యెరూషలేముకు, అతని రాజ్యానికి అతణ్ణి తిరిగి తీసుకువచ్చాడు. అప్పుడు యెహోవాయే దేవుడని మనష్షే తెలుసుకున్నాడు.

14 ১৪ পরে তিনি দায়ূদ শহরের বাইরের দেয়ালটা উপত্যকার মধ্যেকার গীহোন ফোয়ারা থেকে ওফল পাহাড় ঘিরে পশ্চিম দিকে মাছ দরজায় ঢুকবার পথ পর্যন্ত আরও উঁচু করে তৈরী করে শক্তিশালী করলেন। যিহূদার দেয়াল ঘেরা সমস্ত শহরগুলোতে তিনি সেনাপতিদের নিযুক্ত করলেন।

౧౪దీని తరువాత అతడు దావీదు పట్టణం బయట గిహోనుకు పడమరగా, లోయలో చేప గుమ్మం వరకూ ఓపెలు చుట్టూ చాలా ఎత్తయిన గోడ కట్టించాడు. యూదా దేశంలోని బలమైన పట్టణాలన్నిటిలో సేనాధిపతులను ఉంచాడు.

15 ১৫ তিনি সদাপ্রভুর ঘর থেকে বিজাতীয় দেবতাদের মুর্ত্তিগুলোকে নিয়ে বাইরে ফেলে দিলেন। তিনি যিরূশালেমে এবং সদাপ্রভুর ঘরের পাহাড়ের উপরে যে সব বেদী তৈরী করেছিলেন সেগুলোও নিয়ে তিনি শহরের বাইরে ফেলে দিলেন।

౧౫యెహోవా మందిరం నుంచి అన్యుల దేవతా విగ్రహం తీసివేసి, యెరూషలేములో యెహోవా మందిరం ఉన్న కొండ మీద తాను కట్టించిన బలిపీఠాలన్నిటినీ తీసి పట్టణం బయట పారవేయించాడు.

16 ১৬ পরে তিনি সদাপ্রভুর বেদী পুনরায় ঠিক করলেন এবং তার উপরে মঙ্গলের জন্য বলি ও কৃতজ্ঞতা উৎসর্গের অনুষ্ঠান করলেন। তিনি যিহূদার লোকদের নির্দেশ দিলেন যেন তারা ইস্রায়েলের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর সেবা করে।

౧౬అతడు యెహోవా బలిపీఠంను బాగుచేసి, దాని మీద సమాధానబలులు, కృతజ్ఞతార్పణలు అర్పిస్తూ, ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేవుడైన యెహోవాను సేవించమని యూదా వారికి ఆజ్ఞాపించాడు.

17 ১৭ অবশ্য লোকেরা তখনও পূজার উঁচু জায়গা গুলোতে যজ্ঞ করত, কিন্তু তারা শুধুমাত্র তাদের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুরই উদ্দেশ্যেই করত।

౧౭అయినా ప్రజలు ఎత్తయిన స్థలాల్లో ఇంకా బలులు అర్పిస్తూనే ఉన్నారు గాని అవి తమ దేవుడైన యెహోవాకే అర్పించారు.

18 ১৮ মনঃশির আরো অন্যান্য সব কাজের কথা, ঈশ্বরের কাছে তাঁর প্রার্থনা এবং ইস্রায়েলের ঈশ্বর সদাপ্রভুর নামে দর্শকেরা তাঁকে যে কথা বলেছিল, দেখো, তা সবই “ইস্রায়েলের রাজাদের ইতিহাস” নামে বইটিতে লেখা আছে।

౧౮మనష్షే గురించిన ఇతర విషయాలు, అతడు దేవునికి చేసిన ప్రార్థన గురించి, ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేవుడైన యెహోవా పేరట అతనితో పలికిన దీర్ఘ దర్శకుల మాటలను గురించి ఇశ్రాయేలు రాజుల గ్రంథంలో రాసి ఉంది.

19 ১৯ তাঁর প্রার্থনার কথা, আর কেমন করে তাঁর মিনতি ঈশ্বরে গ্রাহ্য করলেন তার কথা, তাঁর সব পাপ ও অবিশ্বস্ততার কথা এবং তিনি নিজেকে ঈশ্বরের সামনে নত করবার আগে পূজার যে সব উঁচু জায়গা তৈরী করেছিলেন আর আশেরা মূর্ত্তি ও খোদাই করা প্রতিমা স্থাপন করেছিলেন সেই সব কথা দর্শকদের বইয়ে লেখা আছে।

౧౯అతని ప్రార్థన, దేవునికి ఎలా మొర్రపెట్టాడో, తనను తాను తగ్గించు కొనక ముందు అతని పాపం గురించి, అతడు చేసిన ద్రోహం గురించి, కట్టించిన ఎతైన పూజా స్థలాలూ అషేరాదేవి స్తంభాలు, చెక్కిన విగ్రహాలను నిలపడం గురించి, దీర్ఘదర్శకుడలు రచించిన గ్రంథాల్లో రాసి వుంది.

20 ২০ পরে মনঃশি তাঁর পূর্বপুরুষদের সঙ্গে ঘুমিয়ে পড়েন। এবং তাঁর নিজের বাড়ীতেই তাঁকে লোকেরা কবর দিল। তাঁর জায়গায় তাঁর ছেলে আমোন রাজা হলেন।

౨౦మనష్షే చనిపోయినప్పుడు తన పూర్వీకులతో కూడ తన సొంత భవనంలో అతణ్ణి పాతిపెట్టారు. అతని కొడుకు ఆమోను అతనికి బదులు రాజయ్యాడు.

21 ২১ আমোনের বয়স বাইশ বছর ছিল যখন তিনি রাজত্ব শুরু করেছিলেন এবং যিরূশালেমে দুইবছর কাল রাজত্ব করেছিলেন।

౨౧ఆమోను పరిపాలించడం మొదలుపెట్టినప్పుడు అతడు 22 ఏళ్ల వాడు. అతడు యెరూషలేములో రెండేళ్ళు పాలించాడు.

22 ২২ তিনি তাঁর বাবা মনঃশির মতই তিনি সদাপ্রভুর চোখে যা কিছু মন্দ তাই করতেন। মনঃশি যে সব প্রতিমা খোদাই করে তৈরী করেছিলেন আমোন তাদের পূজা করতেন ও তাদের কাছে পশু উৎসর্গ করতেন।

౨౨అతడు తన తండ్రి మనష్షే నడచినట్టు యెహోవా దృష్టికి చెడ్డగా ప్రవర్తించాడు. తన తండ్రియైన మనష్షే చేయించిన చెక్కుడు విగ్రహాలన్నిటికీ బలులు అర్పిస్తూ పూజిస్తూ ఉండేవాడు.

23 ২৩ আর তিনি তাঁর বাবা মনঃশির মত সদাপ্রভুর সামনে নিজেকে নত করেন নি; পরিবর্তে, আমোন পাপ করতেই থাকলেন।

౨౩తన తండ్రియైన మనష్షేలాగా యెహోవా సన్నిధిలో తనను తాను తగ్గించుకోలేదు. దానికి బదులు ఇంకా ఎక్కువ పాపం చేశాడు.

24 ২৪ আমোনের দাসেরা তাঁর বিরুদ্ধে ষড়যন্ত্র করে তাঁর নিজের বাড়ীতেই তাঁকে খুন করল।

౨౪అతని సేవకులు అతని మీద కుట్ర చేసి అతని సొంత భవనంలోనే అతణ్ణి చంపేశారు.

25 ২৫ কিন্তু যারা রাজা আমোনের বিরুদ্ধে ষড়যন্ত্র করেছিল দেশের লোকেরা তাদের সবাইকে মেরে ফেলল এবং তারা তাঁর ছেলে যোশিয়কে তাঁর জায়গায় রাজা করল।

౨౫అయితే దేశప్రజలు ఆమోను రాజుమీద కుట్ర చేసిన వారందరినీ చంపి అతని కొడుకు యోషీయాను అతని స్థానంలో రాజుగా నియమించారు.
