Below is part of your answer, the statements are old and may be more 
statements that official policy of the board.  If you want a direct 
answer for the Foundation's existing policy, then I would suggest 
writing to le...@wikimedia.org and ask for them to direct you to the 
current policy.

https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Copyright_policy
Non-commercial licenses
Although Wikisource itself does not make commercial use of works, its 
license does allow redistributors to make such commercial use. 
Therefore, works with non-commercial licenses are prohibited from 
Wikisource.


Such licenses are prohibited by decision of the President of the 
Wikimedia Foundation, as indicated by the 2004 message by Jimbo Wales 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimbo_Wales> entitled "WikiEN-l, Use of 
noncommercial-only images 
<http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2004-April/012156.html>". 
In 2006, Jimbo Wales explicitly confirmed in #wikimedia 
 that this decision applied to 
Wikisource, declaring that "Noncommercial-only licenses are basically 
the same thing as torturing kittens." Angela 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Angela>, board member, has also 
explicitly stated noncommercial licenses are unacceptable; see 
"Foundation-l, Juriwiki-l, Re: Copyright complaints 
<http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-February/006015.html>".

Their main concern about commercial use of their text, if derivative in 
translation, it will be not any issue of them. They have no issue for 
published at Wikisource.  So what should be the licence and how we 
published in Bengali Wikisource?

Can you maybe provide some context, why do you need CC BY-NC-ND?
