pehla rajya 20:1-43
20 hun seeriya+ de ben-hadad+ ne 32 rajya atey ohna de ghorrya te ratha samet apni sari fauj nu ikattha keeta; oh uppar gaya atey os ne samriya+ nu ghera pa lya+ te os naal larrya.
2 fir os ne sheher vich izraeel de raja ahab+ kol sandesh den valya nu bhejya atey os nu keha: “ben-hadad eh kehnda hai,
3 ‘tera sona-chandi atey teriya sabh to khoobsoorat patniya atey puttar mere han.’”
4 eh sunn ke izraeel de raje ne keha: “he mere prabhu atey maharaj, jidda tu keha hai, mai atey mera sabh kujh tera hi hai.”+
5 baad vich sandesh den vale fir aaye atey kehen lagge: “ben-hadad kehnda hai, ‘mai tainu eh sandesh bhejya si: “tu apna sona-chandi, apnia patniya atey apne puttar mainu de de.”
6 par kal ise vakat mai apne sevka nu tere kol bhejanga te oh tere mehel atey tere sevka de gharaa di changi tarha talashi lainge te teriya sariya manbhaundiya cheeza zabat kar ke lai jaange.’”
7 eh sunn ke izraeel de raje ne desh de sare bazurga nu bula ke keha: “kirpa kar ke dhyaan dyo ki eh aadmi museebat liaaun ’te tulya hoya hai kyoki os ne mere to meriya patniya, mere puttra atey mere sone-chandi di mang keeti hai te mai os nu manha nahi keeta.”
8 fir sare bazurga atey sare lokaa ne os nu keha: “os da kehna na manni, os nu ha na kari.”
9 is layi os ne ben-hadad da sandesh liaaun valya nu keha: “mere prabhu atey maharaj nu keho, ‘jo tusi apne daas to pehla mangya si, oh mai karan layi tyaar ha, par mai dooji mang poori nahi kar sakda.’” eh sunn ke sandesh liaaun vale chale gaye atey ja ke os nu eh sabh dassya.
10 hun ben-hadad ne os nu eh sandesh bhejya: “je mai samriya vich inni ku dhoorr vi chhadda ki mere pichhe chalan vale faujiya vicho harek di muthi bhar sake, taa devte mere naal bure to bura karan!”
11 izraeel de raje ne javab ditta: “os nu keho, ‘yudh de hathyaar paaun vala hathyaar lahun vale vang shekhi na maare.’”+
12 jado ben-hadad nu eh sandesh milya odo oh te raje apne tambuaa* vich sharaab pee rahe san. eh sandesh sunde saar os ne apne sevka nu keha: “hamla karan layi tyaar ho jao!” is layi oh sheher ’te hamla karan layi tyaar ho gaye.
13 par ik nabi izraeel de raje ahab+ kol aaya atey kehen lagga: “yahovah eh kehnda hai, ‘kee tu is vaddi sari bheerr nu dekhya? ajj mai is nu tere hath de diaanga atey tu janenga ki mai yahovah ha.’”+
14 ahab ne puchhya: “kehde raahi?” javab vich os ne keha: “yahovah eh kehnda hai, ‘zilya de haakma de sevadara raahi.’” aggo os ne puchhya: “yudh kaun shuru karega?” os ne javab ditta: “tu!”
15 fir ahab ne zilya de haakma de sevadara di ginti keeti jo 232 san; os to baad os ne sare izraeeli aadmiya di ginti keeti jo 7,000 san.
16 oh dupeher vele bahar gaye jado ben-hadad os di madad karan vale 32 rajya naal tambuaa* vich pee-pee ke tali ho reha si.
17 jado pehla zilya de haakma de sevadar bahar aaye, taa ben-hadad ne ose vele sandesh den valya nu bhejya. ohna ne aa ke os nu dassya: “samriya to aadmi bahar nikal aaye han.”
18 eh sunn ke os ne keha: “je oh shanti de irade naal aaye han, taa ohna nu jeeunde farr liaayo; je oh yudh de irade naal aaye han, taa vi ohna nu jeeunde farr liaayo.”
19 par jado zilya de haakma de sevadar atey ohna de magar chal rehiya fauja sheher to bahar aaiya,
20 taa harek ne apne virodhi nu vadd suttya. fir seeriya de fauji bhajj gaye+ atey izraeeliya ne ohna da pichha keeta, par seeriya da raja ben-hadad apne kujh ghorrsavara sane ghorre ’te charh ke bach niklya.
21 fir izraeel da raja bahar niklya atey oh ghorrya te ratha ’te hamla karda gaya atey os ne seeriya di fauj nu buri tarha haraya.*
22 baad vich oh nabi+ izraeel de raje kol ja ke kehen lagga: “jaah, apne aap nu takrra kar atey dhyaan naal soch ki tu kee karenga+ kyoki agle saal* de shuru vich seeriya da raja ik vaar fir tere khilaf aavega.”+
23 hun seeriya de raje de sevka ne os nu keha: “ohna da parmeshwar paharra da parmeshwar hai. ise karke oh sadde ’te bhari pai gaye san. par je aapa ohna naal maidan vich larrange, taa ohna ’te bhari pai javange.
24 nale eh vi kar: yudh vicho sare rajya+ nu hataa ke ohna di jagah rajpala nu thehra.
25 fir unni hi fauj ikatthi* kar jinni tu guayi hai, nale unne hi ghorre atey rath. aao aapa ohna naal maidan vich larriye atey asi pakka ohna ’te bhari pai javange.” is layi os ne ohna di salah manni atey ose tarha keeta.
26 saal* de shuru vich ben-hadad ne seeriya de faujiya nu ikattha keeta atey izraeel khilaf larran layi afek+ nu charhya.
27 izraeel de lokaa nu vi ikattha keeta gaya atey ohna nu lorr diya cheeza dittiya gaiya te oh ohna da mukabla karan gaye. jado izraeeli lokaa ne ohna de samne dera laya, taa oh bakkriya de do chhote-chhote jhunda vang lagg rahe san jad ki seeriya de faujiya naal sara maidan bharya hoya si.+
28 fir sache parmeshwar de bande ne izraeel de raje kol aa ke keha: “yahovah eh kehnda hai, ‘kyoki seeriayi lokaa ne keha hai: “yahovah paharra da parmeshwar hai, oh maidana da parmeshwar nahi hai,” is layi mai is vaddi bheerr nu tere hath vich de diaanga+ atey tu pakka jaan lavenga ki mai yahovah ha.’”+
29 ohna ne ik-dooje khilaf satt dina tak dera laayi rakhya atey sattve din yudh shuru ho gaya. izraeel de lokaa ne seeriya de 1,00,000 paidal chalan vale faujiya nu ik din vich hi maar mukaya.
30 atey baaki fauji afek sheher nu bhajj gaye.+ par bache hoye 27,000 aadmiya ’te kandh dig payi. ben-hadad vi sheher nu bhajj gaya atey ik kothrri vich luk gaya.
31 is layi os de sevka ne os nu keha: “dekh, asi sunya hai ki izraeel de gharane de raje bahut dayavaan* hunde han. chalo aapa apne lakk duaale tapparr pa layiye atey apne sira ’te rassiya lapet ke izraeel de raje kol chaliye. shayad oh teri jaan bakhsh deve.”+
32 is layi ohna ne apne lakk duaale tapparr paya atey apne sira ’te rassiya lapet ke izraeel de raje kol gaye atey kehen lagge: “tera sevak ben-hadad kehnda hai, ‘kirpa kar ke meri jaan bakhsh de.’” os ne javab ditta: “kee oh hale jeeunda hai? oh mera bhra hai.”
33 ohna aadmiya nu eh shubh-chinnh lagga jis karke ohna ne jhatt os di gall mann layi, is layi ohna ne keha: “ben-hadad tera bhra hi hai.” eh sunn ke os ne keha: “jao, os nu ithe lai ke aao.” fir ben-hadad os kol bahar aaya atey ahab ne os nu rath ’te charha lya.
34 hun ben-hadad ne os nu keha: “mere pita ne tere pita kolo jehrre sheher lai laye san mai oh morr diaanga atey tu damisk vich apne layi bazaar lagayi* jive mere pita ne samriya vich lagaye san.”
ahab ne javab ditta: “is samjhaute* de aadhaar ’te mai tainu chhadd devanga.”
eh keh ke os ne os naal samjhauta keeta atey os nu chhadd ditta.
35 yahovah de bachan anusar nabiya de puttra*+ vicho ik ne apne saathi nu keha: “kirpa kar ke mainu maar.” par os aadmi ne os nu maaran to inkaar kar ditta.
36 is layi os ne os nu keha: “kyoki tu yahovah di avaaz nahi suni, is layi jyo hi tu mere kolo javenga ik sher tainu maar devega.” jado oh os kolo chala gaya, taa ik sher ne os utte hamla kar ke os nu maar ditta.
37 os nabi nu ik hor aadmi milya atey os ne os nu keha: “kirpa kar ke mainu maar.” is layi os aadmi ne os ’te vaar kar ke os nu zakhmi kar ditta.
38 fir nabi gaya atey raah vich raje da intazar karan lagga. os ne apnia akkha ’te patti bannhi taaki oh pachhanya na jave.
39 jado raja utho langh reha si, taa os ne uchi avaaz vich raje nu pukar ke keha: “tera sevak ghamsan yudh vich gaya si atey uthe ik aadmi aaya jo kise aadmi nu mere kol lai aaya atey kehen lagga: ‘is aadmi ’te nigah rakh, je eh aadmi bhajj gaya, taa is di jaan de badle teri jaan lai layi javegi,+ ja tainu ik kikaar* chandi deni pavegi.’
40 atey jado tera sevak uthe kise kamm vich rujha hoya si, taa oh aadmi achanak gaaib ho gaya.” izraeel de raje ne os nu keha: “taa fir teri ehi saza hovegi; eh faisla tu aap hi keeta hai.”
41 fir os ne turant apnia akkha to patti laah ditti atey izraeel de raje ne os nu pachhaan lya ki oh nabiya vicho ik si.+
42 nabi ne os nu keha: “yahovah eh kehnda hai, ‘kyoki tu os aadmi nu apne hatho bach ke jaan ditta jis nu mai maaran layi tainu keha si,+ is layi os di jaan de badle teri jaan layi javegi+ atey os de lokaa de badle tere lok naash keete jaange.’”+
43 eh sunn ke izraeel da raja udaas ho gaya te muh latkayi samriya+ vich apne ghar chala gaya.
