niaiya 20:1-48
20 tad daan+ to lai ke ber-shaba de atey gilaad de ilake+ de sare izraeeli aaye atey sari mandli ik ho ke* mispah vich yahovah agge ikatthi hoi.+
2 izraeel de lokaa de atey sare gota de mukhiya ne parmeshwar de lokaa di mandli vich aapo-apni jagah layi. talvar naal lais paidal chalan vale 4,00,000 fauji san.+
3 binyameeniya ne sunya ki izraeel de aadmi mispah nu gaye han.
fir izraeel de aadmiya ne puchhya: “sanu dass, eh bhairra kamm hoya kidda?”+
4 os levi aadmi+ yani katal keeti gayi aurat de pati ne javab ditta: “mai raat guzaran layi apni rakhel naal binyameen de gibaah+ sheher aaya si.
5 raat nu gibaah de vaasi* mere khilaf aa kharhe hoye te ghar nu ghera pa lya. oh mainu maarna chahunde san, par ohna ne meri rakhel naal balatkar keeta te oh mar gayi.+
6 is layi mai apni rakhel di laash layi te os de tote-tote kar ke izraeel di virasat de har hisse vich ghal ditte+ kyoki ohna ne izraeel vich eh sharamnak te ghinauna kamm keeta si.
7 he izraeel de sare loko, tusi hune salah kar ke+ apni rai dyo.”
8 fir sare lok ik mann ho ke* utthe te ohna ne keha: “sadde vicho koi vi apne tambu nu nahi javega te na hi apne ghar murrega.
9 hun asi gibaah naal eh karange: “asi guna pa ke os utte charhayi karange.+
10 asi izraeel de sare gota de 100 aadmiya vicho 10 aadmi, 1,000 vicho 100 atey 10,000 vicho 1,000 aadmi thehravange jo fauj layi khaan-peen da prabandh karange. baaki fauj binyameen de gibaah sheher khilaf kadam chukkegi kyoki ohna ne izraeel vich sharamnak kamm keeta hai.”
11 is tarha, izraeel de sare aadmi ik ho ke* sheher khilaf ikatthe hoye.
12 fir izraeel de gota ne binyameen de got de sare aadmiya kol eh suneha de ke aadmi bheje: “tuhade vich eh kidda da bhairra kamm hoya hai?
13 hun gibaah de ohna ghatiya aadmiya nu sadde havale karo+ taaki asi ohna nu jano mariye te izraeel vicho burayi nu khatam kariye.”+ par binyameeniya ne apne izraeeli bhrava di gall nahi manni.
14 fir izraeel de aadmiya naal yudh karan layi binyameen de lok shehera vicho nikal ke gibaah vich ikatthe hoye.
15 gibaah de chune hoye 700 aadmiya to chhutt, os din binyameeniya ne apne shehera to talvar naal lais 26,000 aadmiya nu ikattha keeta.
16 is fauj vich 700 chune hoye aadmi khabu san. ihna aadmiya vicho harek jana je gopiye de pathar naal nishana laaunda, taa os da nishana ik vaal barabar fasle jinna vi nahi khunjhda si.
17 binyameen to chhutt, izraeel de aadmiya ne talvar naal lais 4,00,000 aadmi ikatthe keete+ te har aadmi ik tajarbekar yodha si.
18 oh utthe te parmeshwar di salah lain layi utaah betel gaye.+ fir izraeel de lokaa ne puchhya: “sadde vicho kaun binyameeniya naal larran layi pehla jave?” yahovah ne javab ditta: “yahudah pehla jave.”
19 is to baad izraeeli savere utthe atey ohna ne gibaah khilaf dera laya.
20 fir izraeel de aadmi binyameen khilaf larran gaye; ohna ne gibaah nerre ohna khilaf morcha bannhya.
21 binyameen de lok gibaah to nikle te os din ohna ne izraeel de 22,000 aadmiya nu maar mukaya.
22 par izraeel de aadmiya ne daleri dikhayi atey dobara ose jagah morcha bannhya jithe pehle din bannhya si.
23 fir izraeeli utaah gaye atey shaam tak yahovah agge ronde rahe te yahovah to salah mangi: “kee asi dobara apne bhrava yani binyameen de lokaa khilaf yudh larran jayiye?”+ yahovah ne keha: “ha, ohna khilaf jao.”
24 is layi izraeeli dooje din binyameeniya de nerre aaye.
25 binyameen de lok vi ohna da samna karan layi dooje din gibaah vicho bahar aaye te ohna ne hor 18,000 izraeeliya nu maar suttya+ jo sare de sare talvara naal lais san.
26 fir izraeel de sare aadmi utaah betel nu gaye. oh roye atey uthe yahovah samne baith gaye+ te ohna ne os din shaam tak vart rakhya+ atey yahovah agge hom-baliya+ te shanti-bheta charhaiya.+
27 is to baad izraeel de aadmiya ne yahovah to salah mangi+ kyoki ohna dina vich sache parmeshwar de ikraar da sandook uthe si.
28 haroon da pota te alaazar da puttar feenhas+ ohna dina vich sandook agge seva karda* si. ohna ne puchhya: “kee asi ik vaar fir apne bhrava yani binyameen de aadmiya naal yudh karan jayiye ja na?”+ yahovah ne javab ditta: “jaah, kyoki kal mai ohna nu tere hath vich de diaanga.”
29 fir izraeeliya ne gibaah de chare pase aadmiya to ghaat lagvayi.+
30 teeje din izraeeli binyameen de lokaa khilaf gaye atey ohna ne pehla vang gibaah khilaf morcha bannhya.+
31 jado fauj da samna karan layi binyameen de lok bahar aaye, taa oh fauj da pichha karde-karde sheher to kaafi door chale gaye.+ fir oh pehla vang hamla karan lagge atey rajmarga utte kujh aadmiya nu maaran lagge jinha vicho ik rajmarg betel nu janda si te dooja gibaah nu. is khulle maidan vich ohna ne izraeel de 30 aadmiya nu maar suttya.+
32 is layi binyameen de lokaa ne keha: “oh pehla vang sadde to haar rahe han.”+ par izraeel ne keha si: “asi ohna nu pitth dikha ke bhajj javange te ohna nu sheher to door rajmarga ’te lai javange.”
33 is layi izraeel de sare aadmi aapo-apni jagah to utthe atey ohna ne baal-tamar vich morcha bannhya, jad ki gibaah de nerre ghaat la ke baithe izraeeli fatafat aapo-apni jagah to bahar nikal aaye.
34 sare izraeel vicho chune hoye 10,000 aadmi gibaah de samne aa gaye te ghamsan yudh hoya. par binyameen de lokaa nu pata nahi si ki ohna ’te bipta aaun vali si.
35 yahovah ne binyameen nu izraeel agge hara ditta+ atey os din izraeeliya ne binyameen de 25,100 aadmi maar sutte. oh sare de sare talvara naal lais san.+
36 jado izraeel de aadmi binyameen nu pitth dikha ke bhajj rahe san, taa binyameen de lokaa ne sochya ki izraeel de aadmi haar jaange.+ par oh is layi bhajje san kyoki ohna nu bharosa si ki gibaah utte hamla karan layi aadmi ghaat la ke baithe san.+
37 ghaat la ke baithe aadmi fatafat utthe te gibaah val vadhe. fir oh sheher vich har pase khind-pund gaye atey sare sheher nu talvar naal maar suttya.
38 izraeel de aadmiya ne sheher khilaf ghaat la ke baithan valya nu keha si ki oh nishani de taur te sheher vicho dhooye da baddal udaun.
39 jado izraeeli yudh vicho pichhe hat gaye san, taa binyameen de aadmi ohna ’te hamla karan lagg paye te ohna ne izraeel de 30 aadmiya nu maar suttya.+ oh kehen lagge: “oh sadde to ik vaar fir haar rahe han, jive oh pichhle yudh vich hare san.”+
40 par fir sheher vicho dhooye da ik thamm uthan lagga jo ki ik nishani si. jado binyameen de aadmiya ne pichhe murr ke dekhya, taa sare sheher vicho agg diya lapta akash tak uppar utth rehiya san.
41 fir izraeel de aadmiya ne achanak pichhe murr ke hamla kar ditta te binyameen de aadmi ghabra gaye kyoki ohna dekhya ki ohna utte bipta aa payi si.
42 is layi oh izraeel de aadmiya nu pitth dikha ke ujaad val nu bhajje, par ohna naal ladai hundi rehi; ohna nu maaran layi shehera vicho izraeeli aadmi vi aa rale.
43 ohna ne chare pasyo binyameeniya nu gher lya atey bina ruke ohna da pichha keeta. ohna ne purab val gibaah de aen samne ohna nu midh suttya.
44 akheer binyameen de 18,000 aadmi maare gaye jo sare de sare takatvar yodhe san.+
45 binyameen de aadmi murre atey ujaad vich rimmon di chataan val nu bhajj gaye+ atey izraeeliya ne ohna vicho 5,000 janya nu rajmarga utte maar suttya. oh gidom tak ohna da pichha karde rahe; ohna ne hor 2,000 aadmiya nu maar mukaya.
46 os din binyameen de aadmiya vicho maare gaye talvara naal lais aadmiya di kull ginti 25,000 si.+ oh sare takatvar yodhe san.
47 par 600 aadmi ujaad vich rimmon di chataan val nu bhajj gaye atey oh chaar mahineya tak rimmon di chataan utte hi rahe.
48 fir izraeel de aadmiya ne vapas aa ke binyameen de har sheher utte hamla keeta te ohna shehera vich jinne vi lok te jaanvar reh gaye san, ohna sarya nu talvar naal maar suttya. nale ohna ne raah vich aaunde sare shehera nu agg la ditti.
