-
My brothers.
আমার ভাইয়েরা। -
I stand before you today with a heart overflowing with grief.
আমি আজ আপনাদের সামনে দাঁড়িয়েছি এক শোকাভিভূত হৃদয় নিয়ে। -
You are fully aware of the events that are going on and understand their import.
আপনারা সম্পূর্ণরূপে জানেন কী ঘটছে এবং তার গুরুত্ব উপলব্ধি করেন। -
We have been trying to do our best to cope with the situation.
আমরা পরিস্থিতি সামাল দেওয়ার জন্য আমাদের সাধ্যমত চেষ্টা করে যাচ্ছি। -
And yet, unfortunately, the streets of Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Rajshahi and Rangpur are awash with the blood of our brothers.
তবুও, দুর্ভাগ্যবশত, ঢাকা, চট্টগ্রাম, খুলনা, রাজশাহী এবং রংপুরের রাস্তা আমাদের ভাইদের রক্তে রঞ্জিত। -
The people of Bengal now want to be free, the people of Bengal now want to live, and the people of Bengal now want their rights.
বাংলার মানুষ এখন মুক্তি চায়, বাংলার মানুষ এখন বাঁচতে চায়, আর বাংলার মানুষ তাদের অধিকার চায়। -
What have we done that was wrong?
আমরা কী ভুল করেছি? -
After the elections, the people of Bangladesh voted as one for me, for the Awami League.
নির্বাচনের পর, বাংলাদেশের মানুষ এক হয়ে আমাকে, আওয়ামী লীগকে ভোট দিয়েছিল। -
We were to sit in the National Assembly, draft a constitution for ourselves there, and build our country, the people of this land would thereby get economic, political, and cultural freedom.
আমরা জাতীয় পরিষদে বসে আমাদের জন্য একটি সংবিধান প্রণয়ন করতাম এবং আমাদের দেশ গড়তাম, ফলে এই দেশের মানুষ অর্থনৈতিক, রাজনৈতিক ও সাংস্কৃতিক স্বাধীনতা পেত। -
But it is with regret that I have to report to you today that we have passed through twenty-three tragic years; Bengal's history of those years is full of stories of torture inflicted on our people, of bloodshed by them repeatedly.
কিন্তু দুঃখের সাথে আজ আপনাদের জানাতে হচ্ছে যে আমরা তেইশটি মর্মান্তিক বছর পার করেছি; এই বছরগুলোর বাংলা ইতিহাস নির্যাতনের কাহিনী ও আমাদের রক্ত ঝরানোর ঘটনার সাক্ষী। -
Twenty-three years of a history of men and women in agony!
তেইশ বছরের একটি ইতিহাস, যেখানে পুরুষ ও নারীরা যন্ত্রণা ভোগ করেছে! -
The history of Bengal is the history of a people who have repeatedly made their highways crimson red with their blood.
বাংলার ইতিহাস হলো সেই মানুষের ইতিহাস, যারা বারবার তাদের মহাসড়ককে নিজেদের রক্তে লাল করেছে। -
We shed blood in 1952; even though we were the victors in the elections of 1954, we could not form a government then.
আমরা ১৯৫২ সালে রক্ত ঝরিয়েছি; ১৯৫৪ সালের নির্বাচনে বিজয়ী হলেও আমরা তখন সরকার গঠন করতে পারিনি। -
In 1958 Ayub Khan declared Martial Law to enslave us for the next ten years.
১৯৫৮ সালে আইয়ুব খান সামরিক আইন জারি করে আমাদের পরবর্তী দশ বছর দাসত্বে আবদ্ধ করেছিল। -
In 1966 when we launched the Six Point Movement, our boys were shot dead on 7 June.
১৯৬৬ সালে আমরা যখন ছয় দফা আন্দোলন শুরু করি, তখন ৭ জুন আমাদের ছেলেদের গুলি করে হত্যা করা হয়। -
When after the movement of 1969 Ayub Khan fell from power and Yahya Khan assumed the reins of the government, he declared that he would give us a constitution and restore democracy; we listened to him then.
১৯৬৯ সালের আন্দোলনের পর আইয়ুব খান ক্ষমতা থেকে অপসারিত হলে ইয়াহিয়া খান সরকার দখল করে ঘোষণা করল যে তিনি আমাদের সংবিধান দেবেন এবং গণতন্ত্র ফিরিয়ে আনবেন; আমরা তখন তার কথা শুনেছিলাম। -
A lot has happened since then and elections have taken place.
এরপর অনেক কিছু ঘটেছে এবং নির্বাচন অনুষ্ঠিত হয়েছে। -
I have had a talk with Mr. Yahya Khan.
আমি মি. ইয়াহিয়া খানের সঙ্গে আলোচনা করেছি। -
I told him, "Mr. Yahya, you are the President of Pakistan; come and observe how the poor people of my country are being mowed down with bullets; come and see how our mothers are being deprived of their children; how my people are being massacred."
আমি তাকে বলেছিলাম, "মি. ইয়াহিয়া, আপনি পাকিস্তানের রাষ্ট্রপতি; আসুন দেখুন কিভাবে আমার দেশের গরিব মানুষকে গুলি করে হত্যা করা হচ্ছে; আসুন দেখুন কিভাবে আমাদের মায়েরা তাদের সন্তানদের হারাচ্ছে; কিভাবে আমার মানুষকে হত্যা করা হচ্ছে।" -
He has apparently said that I had agreed to attend a Round Table Conference on the 10th of March.
তিনি নাকি বলেছেন যে আমি ১০ মার্চের গোলটেবিল বৈঠকে যোগ দিতে রাজি হয়েছি। -
Didn't I say a long time back: what is the point of another Round Table conference?
আমি কি অনেক আগেই বলিনি: আরেকটি গোলটেবিল বৈঠকের কী প্রয়োজন? -
Who will I sit with?
আমি কাদের সঙ্গে বসব? -
Should I sit with those who have shed the blood of my people?
আমি কি তাদের সঙ্গে বসব, যারা আমার মানুষের রক্ত ঝরিয়েছে? -
He has suddenly dissolved the Assembly without carrying out any discussions with me; after sitting in a secret meeting for five hours he gave a speech where he has put all the blame on me.
তিনি আমার সঙ্গে কোনো আলোচনা না করেই হঠাৎ করে জাতীয় পরিষদ বাতিল করে দিয়েছেন; পাঁচ ঘণ্টার গোপন বৈঠকের পর তিনি এমন একটি ভাষণ দিয়েছেন, যেখানে সমস্ত দোষ আমার ওপর চাপানো হয়েছে। -
He has even blamed the Bengali people!
তিনি বাংলার মানুষকেও দোষারোপ করেছেন! -
My brothers.
আমার ভাইয়েরা। -
The Assembly has been called into session on the 25th of March.
২৫ মার্চ জাতীয় পরিষদের অধিবেশন ডাকা হয়েছে। -
But the blood spilled on our streets has not yet dried.
কিন্তু আমাদের রাস্তায় যে রক্ত ঝরেছে, তা এখনও শুকায়নি। -
On the 28th employees will go and collect their salaries.
২৮ তারিখে কর্মচারীরা তাদের বেতন তুলতে যাবে। -
If their salaries are not paid, if another bullet is fired, if my people are shot dead again, I request all of you: convert every house into a fort.
যদি তাদের বেতন না দেওয়া হয়, যদি আরেকটি গুলি ছোড়া হয়, যদি আমার মানুষকে আবার হত্যা করা হয়, আমি আপনাদের সবাইকে আহ্বান জানাই: প্রতিটি ঘরকে দুর্গে পরিণত করুন। -
Remember: since we have already had to shed blood, we'll have to shed a lot more of it; by the Grace of God, however, we'll be able to liberate the people of this land.
মনে রাখবেন: আমরা ইতোমধ্যে রক্ত ঝরিয়েছি, আমাদের আরও অনেক রক্ত ঝরাতে হতে পারে; তবে সৃষ্টিকর্তার কৃপায় আমরা এই দেশের মানুষকে মুক্ত করতে পারব। -
The struggle this time is a struggle for our emancipation the struggle this time is a struggle for freedom.
এই সংগ্রাম আমাদের মুক্তির সংগ্রাম, এই সংগ্রাম আমাদের স্বাধীনতার সংগ্রাম। -
Joi Bangla!
জয় বাংলা!
