Adhyāya 20
aur aram ke raja benhadad ne apanee saree sena ikatthee kee, aur usake sath battees raja aur ghaede aur rath the unhen sang lekar us ne shaemaron par chaddhai kee, aur use ghor ke usake viruddh lada.
2 aur us ne nagar men israaael ke raja ahab ke pas dooton ko yah kahane ke liye bheja, ki benhadad tujh se yon kahata haai,
3 ki tera chandee sona mera haai, aur teree striayon aur ladkebalon men jo jo uttam haain vah bhee sab mere haain.
4 israaael ke raja ne usake pas kahala bheja, he mere prabhu ! he raja ! tere vachan ke anusar maain aur mera jo kuchh haai, sab tera haai.
5 unheen dooton ne fir akar kaha benhadad tujh se yon kahata haai, ki maain ne tere pas yah kahala bheja tha ki tujhe apanee chandee sona aur striayan aur balak bhee mujhe dene padenge.
6 parantu kal isee samay maain apane karmachaariyon ko tere pas bhejoonga aur ve tere aur tere karmachariyon ke dharon men ddoonddh-ddhanddh karenge, aur teree jo jo manabhavanee vastuen nikalen unhen ve apane apane hath men lekar aaenge.
7 tab israaael ke raja ne apane desh ke sab puraaniyon ko bulavakar kaha, soch vichar karo, ki vah manushy hamaree hani hee ka abhailashaee haai us ne mujh se meree striaya, balak, chandee sona manga bheja haai, aur maain ne inkar n kiya.
8 tab sab puraniyon ne aur sab sadhaaran logon ne us se kaha, usakee n sunana aur n manana.
9 tab raja ne benhadad ke dooton se kaha, mere prabhu raja se meree or se kaho, jo kuuchh too ne pahile apane das se chaha tha vah to maain karoonga, parantu yah mujh se n hoga. tab benhadad ke dooton ne jakar use yah uttar suna diya.
10 tab benhadad ne ahab ke pas kahala bheja, yadi shaemaron men itanee dhooli nikale ki mere sab peechhe chalaneharon kee mutthee bhr kar att jaae to devata mere sath aeesa hee varan is se bhee aadhaik karen.
11 israaael ke raja ne uttar dekar kaha, us se kaho, ki jo hathaiyar bandhata ho vah usakee nai n foole jo unhen utarata ho.
12 yah vachan sunate hee vah jo aur rajaon samet deron men pee raha tha, us ne apane karmachaariyon se kaha, panati bandhae, tab unhon ne nagar ke viruddh panti bandhaee.
13 tab aek nabee te israaael ke raja ahab ke pas jakar kaha, yahova tujh se yon kahata haai, yah badee bheed jo too ne dekhee haai, us sab ko maain aj tere hath men kar doonga, is se too jan lega, ki maain yahova hoo.
14 ahab ne poochha, kis ke dara? us ne kaha yahova yon kahata haai, ki pradeshaen ke haakimon ke sevakon ke dara ! fir us ne poochha, yuddh ko kaun arambh kare? us ne uttar diya, too hee.
15 tab us ne pradeshaen ke hakimon ke sevakon kee ginatee lee, aur ve do sau battees nikale aur unake bad us ne sab israaaelee logon kee ginatee lee, aur ve sat hajar nikale.
16 ye dopahar ko nikal gaa, us samay benhadad apane sahayak batteeson rajaon samet deron men daroo peekar matavala ho raha tha.
17 pradeshaen ke hakimon ke sevak pahile nikale. tab benhadad ne doot bheje, aur unhon ne us se kaha, shaemaron se kuchh manushy nikale ate haain.
18 us ne kaha, chahe ve mel karane ko nikale ho, chahe ladne ko, taubhee unhen jeevit hee pakad lao.
19 tab pradeshaen ke hakimon ke sevak aur unake peechhe kee sena ke sipahee nagar se nikale.
20 taur ve apane apane samhane ke purush ko parane lage aur aramee bhage, aur israaael ne unaka peechha kiya, aur aram ka raja benhadad, savaron ke sang ghaede par chaddha, aur bhagakar bach gaya.
21 tab israaael ke raja ne bhee nikalakar ghaedon aur rathon ko mara, aur araamiyon ko badee mar se mara.
22 tab us nabee ne israaael ke raja ke pas jakar kaha, jakar ladai ke liye apane ko draddh kar, aur sachet hokar soch, ki kya karana haai, kyonki naye varsha ke lagate hee aram ka raja fir tujh par chaddhai karega.
23 tab aram ke raja ke karmachaariyon ne us se kaha, un logon ka devata pahadee devata haai, is karan ve ham par prabal huae isaliye ham un se chauras boomi par laden to nishchay ham un par prabal ho jaaenge.
24 aur yah bhee kam kar, arthata sab rajaon ka pad le le, aur unake sthan par senapaatiyon ko tthara de.
25 fir aek aur sena jo teree us sena ke barabar ho jo nashtt ho gai haai, ghaede ke badale ghaeda, aur rath ke badale rat, apane liye gin le tab ham chauras boomi par un se lade, aur nishchay un par prabal ho jaaenge. unakee yah sammaati manakar benhadad ne vaaisa hee kiya.
26 aur naye varsha ke lagate hee benhadad ne araamiyon ko ikattha kiya, aur israaael se ladne ke liye apek ko gaya.
27 aur israaaelee bhee ikatthe kiae gaa, aur unake bhojan kee taaiyaree hui tab ve unaka samhana karane ko gaa, aur israaaelee unake samhane dere dalakar bakaariyon ke do chhotte jhund se dekh pade, parantu araamiyon se desh bhr gaya.
28 tab parameshvar ke usee jan ne israaael ke raja ke pas jakar kaha, yahova yon kahata haai, aramiyon ne yah kaha haai, ki yahova pahadee devata haai, parantu neechee boomi ka naheen haai is karan maain us badee bheed ko tere hath men kar doonga, tab tumhen bodha ho jaaega ki maain yahova hoo.
29 aur ve sat din amhane samhane dere dale pade rahe tab sataven din yuddh chhdi gaya aur aek din men israaaeliyon ne aek lakh aramee piyade mar dale.
30 jo bach gaa, vah apek ko bhagakar nagar men ghause, aur vahan un bache huae logon men se sattais hajar purush shharapanah kee deeval ke girane se dab kar mar gaae. benhadad bhee bhag gaya aur nagar kee aek bheetaree kottree men gaya.
31 tab usake karmachaariyon ne us se kaha, sun, ham ne to suna haai, ki israaael ke gharane ke raja dayalu raja hote haai, isaadiye hamen kamar men ttatt aur sir par rassaiyan bandho huae israaael ke raja ke pas jane de, sambhv haai ki vah tera praan bacha le.
32 tab ve kamar men ttatt aur sir par rassaiyan bandha kar israaael ke raja ke pas jakar kahane lage, tera das benhadad tujh se kahata haai, krapa kar ke mujhe jeevit rahane de. raja ne uttar diya, kya vah ab tak jeevit haai? vah to mera bhai haai.
33 un logon ne ise shuubh shakun janakar, fauta se boojh lene ka yatn kiya ki yah usake man kee bat haai ki nahee, aur kaha, han tera bhai benhadada. raja ne kaha, jakar usako le ao. tab benhadad usake pas nikal aya, aur us ne use apane rath par chaddha liya.
34 tab benhadad ne us se kaha, jo nagar mere peeta ne tere pita se le liae the, unako maain faer doonga aur jaaise mere pita ne shaemaron men apane liye sadken banavai, vaaise hee too damishk men sadken banavana. ahab ne kaha, maain isee vacha par tujhe chhod deta hoo, tab us ne benhadad se vacha bandhakar, use svatantra kar diya.
35 isake bad naabiyon ke chelon men se aek jan ne yahova se vachan pakar apane sangee se kaha, mujhe mar, jab us manushy ne use marane se inakar kiya,
36 tab us ne us se kaha, too ne yahova ka vachan naheen mana, is karan sun, jyonhee too mere pas se chala jaaega, tyonhee sinh se mar dala jaaega. tab jyonhee vah usake pas se chala gaya, jyonhee use aek sinh mila, aur usako mar dala.
37 fir usako doosara manushy mila, aur us se bhee us ne kaha, mujhe mara. aur us ne usako aeesa mara ki vah ghaayal hua.
38 tab vah nabee chala gaya, aur ankhon ko pagadee se ddhanpakar raja kee batt johata hua marga par khda raha.
39 jab raja pas hokar ja raha tha, tab us ne usakee dohai dekar kaha, ki jab tera das yuddh kshotra men gaya tha tab koi manushy meree or mudkar kisee manushy ko mere pas le aya, aur mujh se kaha, is patushy kee chaukasee kara yaadi yah kisee reeati choott jaa, to usake praan ke badale tujhe apana praan dena hoga naheen to kikkar bhr chandee dena padega.
40 usake bad tera das idhar udhar kam men fans gaya, fir vah n mila. israael ke raja ne us se kaha, tera aeesa hee nyay hoga too ne ap apana nyay kiya haai.
41 nabee ne jhtt apanee ankhon se pagadee uttai, tab israaael ke raja ne use pahichan liya, ki vah koi nabee haai.
42 tab us ne raja se kaha, yahova tujh se yon kahata haai, isaaliye ki too ne apane hath se aeese aeek manushy ko jane diya, jise maain ne satyanash ho jane ko ttharaya tha, tujhe usake praan kee santee apana praan aur usakee praja kee santee, apanee praja denee padegee.
43 tab israaael ka raja udas aur aprasann hokar ghar kee or jala, aur shaemaron ko aya.
