Adhyāya 24
aur yahova ka kop israaaeliyon par fir bhdka, aur us ne daud ko inakee hani ke liye yah kahakar ubhara, ki israaael aur yahooda kee ginatee le.
2 so raja ne yoab senapaati se jo usake pas tha kaha, too dan se beshba tak rahanevale sab israaaelee gotron men idhar udhar ghoom, aur tum log praja kee ginatee lo, taki maain jan loon ki praja kee kitanee ginatee haai.
3 yoab ne raja se kaha, praja ke log kitane hee kyon n ho, tera parameshvar yahova unako sauguna baddha de, aur mera prabhu raja ise apanee ankhon se dekhne bhee paae parantu, he mere prabhu, he raja, yah bat too kyon chahata haai?
4 taubhee raja kee agyaa yoab aur senapaatiyon par prabal hui. so yoab aur senapati raja ke sammukh se israaaelee praja kee ginatee lene ko nikal gaae.
5 unhon ne yaradan par jakar aroer nagar kee daahinee or dere khde kia, jo gad ke nale ke madhy men aur yajer kee or haai.
6 tab ve gilad men aur tahateemhodashaee nam desh men gaa, fir danyan ko gaa, aur chakkar lagakar seedon men pahunche
7 tab ve sor nam draddh gaddh, aur hibbaiyon aur kananiyon ke sab nagaron men gaae aur unhon ne yahooda desh kee dakkhian disha men beshonba men daura nipattaya.
8 aur sab desh men idhar udhar ghoom ghoomakar ve nau maheene aur bees din ke beetane par yarooshalem ko aae.
9 tab yoab ne praja kee ginatee ka jod raja ko sunaya aur talavar chalanevale yoddha israaael ke to att lak, aur yahooda ke panch nakh nikale.
10 praja kee ganna karane ke bad daud ka man vyakul hua. aur daud ne yahova se kaha, yah kam jo maain ne kiya vah mahapap haai. to ab, he yahova, apane das ka adharma door kara kyonaki mujh se badee moorkhta hui haai.
11 bihan ko jab daud utta, tab yahova ka yah vachan gad nam nabee ke pas jo daud ka dasha tha pahuncha,
12 ki jakar daud se kah, ki yahova yon kahata haai, ki maain tujh ko teen vipaattaiyan dikhata hoo un men se aek ko chun le, ki maain use tujh par daloon.
13 so gad ne daud ke pas jakar isaka samachar diya, aur us se poochha, kya tere desh men sat varsha ka akal pade? va teen maheene tak tere shatra tera peechha karate rahen aur too un se bhagata rahe? va tere desh men teen din tak maree faailee rahe? ab soch vichar kar, ki maain apane bhejanevale ko kya uttar doon.
14 daud ne gad se kaha, maai bade sankatt men hoo ham yahova ke hath men pade, kyonki usakee daya badee haai parantu manushy ke hath men maain n paoonga.
15 tab yahova israaaeliyon men bihan se le ttharaae huae samay tak maree faailaae raha aur dan se lekar beshba tak rahanevalee praja men se sattar hajaar purush mar gaae.
16 parantu jab doot ne yarooshalem ka nash karane ko us par apana hath baddhaya, tab yahova vah vipaattai dalakar shaeakit hua, aur praja ke nash karanevale doot se kaha, bas kara ab apana hath kheencha. aur yahova ka doot us samay arauna nam aek yaboosee ke khalihan ke pas tha.
17 to jab praja ka nash karanevala doot daud ko dikhai pada, tab us ne yahova se kaha, dek, pap to maain hee ne kiya, aur kuattlaita maain hee ne kee haai parantu in bhedon ne kya kiya haai? so tera hath mere aur mere pita ke gharane ke viruddh ho.
18 usee din gad ne daud ke pas akar us se kaha, jakar arauna yaboosee ke khalihan men yahova kee ek vedee banava.
19 so daud yahova kee agyaa ke anusar gad ka vah vachan manakar vahan gaya.
20 jab arauna ne draashtti kar daud ko karmachaariyo samet apanee or ate dekha, tab arauna ne nikalakar boomi par muh ke bal gir raja ko dandvata kee.
21 aur arauna ne kaha, mera prabhu raja apane das ke pas kyon padhaara haai? aud ne kaha, tujh se yah khlihan mol lene aya hoo, ki yahova kee aek bedee banavau, isaaliye ki yah vyaadhai praja par se door kee jaae.
22 araunar ne daud se kaha, mera prabhu raja jo kuchh use achchha lage so lekar chaddhaae dek, homabali ke liye to baail haai, aur danchane ke haathaiyar, aur baailon ka saman idhan ka kam denge.
23 yah sab arauna ne raja ko de diya. fir arauna ne raja se kaha, tera parameshvar yahova tujh se prasann hoae.
24 raja ne arauna se kaha, aeesa nahee, maai ye vastuen tujh se avashy dam dekar loonga maain apane parameshvar yahova ko sentament ke homabaali naheen chaddhane ka. so daud ne khalihan aur baailon ko chandee ke pachas shokel pen mol liya.
25 aur daud ne vahan yahova kee aek bedee banavakar homabaali aur melabali chaddhaae. aur yahova ne desh ke nimitt binatee sun lee, tab vah vyaadhai israaael par se door ho gai.
