2 Raja
1 aram ke raja ka naman nam senapati apane svamee kee drashtti men bada aur pratishttit pumsh tha, kyonki yahova ne usake dara aramiyon ko vijayee kiya tha, aur yah shooraveer tha, parantu koddhee tha.
2 aramee loeg dal bandhakar israaael ke desh men jakar vahan se aek chhottee ladkee bandhauvai men le aae the aur vah naman kee patnee kee seva karatee thee.
3 us ne apanee svamin se kaha, jo mera svamee shaemaron ke bhavishyadvkta ke pas hota, to kya hee achchha hota ! kyonaki vah usako koddh se changa kar deta.
4 to kisee ne usake prabhu ke pas jakar kah diya, ki israaaelee ladkee is prakar kahatee haai.
5 aram ke raja ne kaha, too ja, maain israaael ke raja ke pas aek patra bhejoonga tab vah das kikkar chandee aur chhhajar ttukade sona, aur das jode kapade sath lekar ravana ho gaya.
6 aur vah israaael ke raja ke pas vah patra le gaya jis men yah likha tha, ki jab yah patra tujhe mile, tab janana ki maain ne naman nam apane aek karmacharee ko tere pas isaaliye bheja haai, ki too usaka koddh door kar de.
7 is patra ke paddhne par israaael ka raja apane vasr faadkar bola, kya maain maranevala aur jilanevala parameshvar hoo ki us purush ne mere pas kisee ko isaliye bheja haai ki maain usaka koddh door karoon? soch vichar to karo, vah mujh se jhgade ka karan ddoonddhta hoga.
8 yah sunakar ki israaael ke raja ne apane vasr faade haai, parameshvar ke bhkt aeleesha ne raja ke pas kahala bheja, too ne kyon apane vasr faade haain? vah mere pas aa, tab jan lega, ki israaael men bhavishyadvkta to haai.
9 tab naman dhaedon aur rathon samet aeleesha ke dar par akar khda hua.
10 tab aeleesha ne aek doot se usake pas yah kahala bheja, ki too jakar yaradan men sat bar dubakee mar, tab tera shareer jyon ka tyon ho jaaega, aur too shuuddh hoga.
11 parantu naman krodhait ho yah kahata hua chala gaya, ki maain ne to socha tha, ki avashy vah mere pas bahar aaega, aur khda hokar apane parameshvar yahova se praarthna karake koddh ke sthan par apana hath faerakar koddh ko door karega !
12 kya damishk kee abana aur parpar nadiyan israaael ke sab jalashayon se attam naheen haain? kya maain un men snan karake shuuddh naheen ho sakata hoo? isaaliye vah jalajalahatt se bhra hua lauttkar chala gaya.
13 tab usake sevak pas akar kahane lage, he hamare pita yaadi bhvishyadvkta tujhe koi bharee kam karane kee agyaa deta, to kya too use n karata? fir jab vah kahata haai, ki snan karake shuuddh ho ja, to kitana adhaik ise manana chaahiye.
14 tab us ne parameshvar ke bhkt ke vachan ke anusar yaradan ko jakar us men sat bar dubakee maree, aur usaka shareer chhotte ladke ka sa ho gaya aur vah shuuddh ho gaya.
15 tab vah apane sab dal bal samet parameshvar ke bhkt ke yahan lautt aya, aur usake sammukh khda hokar kahane laga sun, ab maain ne jan liya haai, ki samast prathvee men israaael ko chhod aur kaheen parameshvar naheen haai. isaliye ab apane das kee bhentt grahan kara.
16 aeleesha ne kaha, yahova jisake sammukh maain upasthiat rahata hoo usake jeevan kee shapath maain kuchh bhentt n loonga, aur jab us ne usako bahut vivash kiya ki bhentt ko grahan kare, tab bhee vah inakar hee karata raha.
17 tab naman ne kaha, achchha, to tere das ko do khchchar mittee mile, kyonaki age ko tera das yahova ko chhod aur kisee ishvar ko homabali va melabali n chaddhaaega.
18 aek bat to yahova tere das ke liye kshama kare, ki jab mera svamee rimmon ke bhvan men dandvat karane ko jaa, aur vah mere hath ka sahara le, aur yon mujhe bhee rimmon ke bhvan men dandvat karanee pade, tab yahova tere das ka yah kam kshama kare ki maain rimmon ke bhvan men dandvat karoon.
19 us ne us se kaha, kushal se bida ho.
20 vah usake yahan se thodee door jala gaya tha, ki parameshvar ke bhkt aeleesha ka sevak gehajee sochane laga, ki mere svamee ne to us aramee naman ko aeesa hee chhod diya haai ki jo vah le aya tha usako us ne n liya, parantu yahova ke jeevan kee shapath maain usake peechhe daudkar us se kuchh n kuchh le loonga.
21 tab gehajee naman ke peechhe dauda, aur naman kisee ko apane peechhe daudta hooa dekhkar, us se milane ko rath se utar pada, aur poochha, sab kushal kshom to haai?
22 us ne kaha, ha, sab kushal haai parantu mere svamee ne mujhe yah kahane ko bheja haai, ki epraaim ke pahadee desh se bhvishyadvktaon ke chelon men se do javan mere yahan abhee aae haai, isaadiye unake liye ek kikkar chandee aur do jode vasr de.
23 naman ne kaha, do kikkar lene ko prasann ho, tab us ne us se bahut binatee karake do kikkar khndee alag thailiyon men bandhakar, do jode vasr samet apane do sevakon par lad diya, aur ve unhen usake age age le chale.
24 jab vah tteele ke pas pahuncha, tab us ne un vastuon ko un se lekar ghar men rakh diya, aur un manushyon ko bida kiya, aur ve chale gaae.
25 aur vah bheetar jakar, apane svamee ke samhane khda hua. aeleesha ne us se poochha, he gehajee too kahan se ata haai? us ne kaha, tera das to kaheen naheen gaya,
26 us ne us se kaha, jab vah purush idhar munh faerakar tujh se milane ko apane rath par se utara, tab vah poora hal mujhe maloom tha kya yah samay chandee va vasr va jalapai va dakh kee baariya, bhed-bakaariya, gayabaail aur dasa-dasee lene ka haai?
27 is karan se naman ka koddh tujhe aur tere vansh ko sada laga rahega. tab vah him sa shvet koddhee hokar usake samhane se chala gaya.
