Chapter 18
1 aela ke putra israaael ke raja hosho ke teesare varsha men yahooda ke raja ahaj ka putra hijaakiyyah raja hua.
2 jab vah rajy karane laga tab pachchees varsha ka tha, aur unatees varsha tak yarooshalem men rajy karata raha. aur usakee mata ka nam abee tha, jo jakaryah kee bettee thee.
3 jaaise usake moolapurush daud ne kiya tha jo yahova kee draashtti men tteek haai vaaisa hee us ne bhee kiya.
4 us ne unche sthan gira dia, latton ko tod diya, ashora ko katt dala. aur peetal ka jo sanp moosa ne banaya tha, usako us ne is karan choor choor kar diya, ki un dinon tak israaelee usake liye dhoop jalate the aur us ne usaka nam nahushatan rakha.
5 vah israaael ke parameshvar yahova par bhrosa rakhta tha, aur usake bad yahooda ke sab rajaon men koi usake barabar n hua, aur n us se paahile bhee aeesa koi hua tha.
6 aur vah yahova se lipatta raha aur usake peechhe chalana n chhoda aur jo agyaaaen yahova ne moosa ko dee thee, unaka vah palan karata raha.
7 isaliye yahova usake sang raha aur jahan kaheen vah jata tha, vahan usaka kam safal hota tha. aur us ne ashshoor ke raja se balava karake, usakee adhaeenata chhod dee.
8 us ne paalishtaiyon ko gajjaa aur usake sivanon tak, paharuon ke gummatt aur gaddhvale nagar tak mara.
9 raja hijaakiyyah ke chauthe varsha men jo aela ke putra israaael ke raja hosho ka satavan varsha tha, ashshoor ke raja shalmaneser ne shaemaron par chaddhai karake use ghor liya.
10 aur teen varsha ke beetane par unhon ne usako le liya. is prakar hijaakiyyah ke chhttven varsha men jo israaael ke raja hosho ka nauvan varsha tha, shaemaron le liya gaya.
11 tab ashshoor ka raja israaael ko bandhaua karake ashshoor men le gaya, aur halah men or gojan kee nadee habor ke pas aur madiyon ke nagaron men use basa diya.
12 isaka karan yah tha, ki unhon ne apane parameshvar yahova kee bat n manee, varan usakee vacha ko toda, aur jitanee agyaaaen yahova ke das moosa ne dee thee, unako ttal diya aur n unako suna aur n unake anusar kiya.
13 hijaakiyyah raja ke chaudahaven varsha men ashshoor ke raja sanhereeb ne yahooda ke sab gaddhvale nagaron par chaddhai karake unako le liya.
14 tab yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah ne ashshoor ke raja ke pas lakeesh ko kahala bheja, ki mujh se aparadha hua, mere pas se lautt ja aur jo bhr too mujh par dalega usako maain uttaunga. to ashshoor ke raj ne yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah ke liye teen sau kikkar chandee aur tees kikkar lona tthara diya.
15 tab jitanee chandee yahova ke bhvan aur rajabhvan ke bhndaron men milee, us sab ko hijaakiyyah ne use de diya.
16 us samay hijaakiyyah ne yahova ke mandair ke kivadon se aur un khmbhon se bhee jin par yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah ne sona maddha tha, sone ko chheelakar ashshoor ke raja ko de diya.
17 taubhee ashshoor ke raja ne tatrtan, rabasarees aur rabashaake ko badee sena dekar, lakeesh se yarooshalem ke pas hijaakiyyah raja ke viruddh bhej diya. so ve yarooshalem ko gaae aur vahan pahunchakar upar ke pokhre kee nalee ke pas dhobiyon ke khet kee sadk par jakar khde huae.
18 aur jab unhon ne raja ko pukara, tab hilaakiyyah ka putra aelyakeem jo rajagharane ke kam par tha, aur shobna jo mantraee tha aur asap ka putra yoah jo iatihas ka likhnevala tha, ye teenon unake pas bahar nikal gaae.
19 rabashaake ne un se kaha, hijaakiyyah se kaho, ki maharajaadhairaj arthata ashshoor ka raja yon kahata haai, ki too kis par bhrosa karata haai?
20 too jo kahata haai, ki mere yahan yuddh ke liye yuaktai aur parakram haai, so to keval bat hee bat haai. too kis par bhrosa rakhta haai ki too ne mujh se balava kiya haai?
21 sun, too to us kuchale huae narakatt arthata misra par bhrosa rakhta haai, us par yadi koi ttek lagaa, to vah usake hath men chubhkar chhedega. misra ka raja firaun apane sab bhrosa rakhnevalon ke liye aeesa hee haai.
22 fir yadi tum mujh se kaho, ki hamara bhrosa apane parameshvar yahova par haai, to kya yah vahee naheen haai jisake unche sthanon aur vediyon ko hijaakiyyah ne door karake yahooda aur yarooshalem se kaha, ki tum isee vedee ke samhane jo yarooshalem men haai dandvat karana?
23 to ab mere svamee ashshoor ke raja ke pas muchh bandhak rak, tab maain tujhe do hajar ghaede doonga, kya too un par savar chaddha sakega ki naheen?
24 fir too mere svamee ke chhotte se chhotte karmacharee ka bhee kaha n man kar kyon rathon aur savaron ke liye misra par bhrosa rakhta haai?
25 kya maain ne yahova ke bina kahe, is sthan ko ujadne ke liye chaddhai kee haai? yahova ne mujh se kaha haai, ki us desh par chaddhai karake use ujad de.
26 tab hilaakiyyah ke putra aelyakeem aur shobna yoah ne rabashaake se kaha, apane dason se aramee bhasha men baten kar, kyonki ham use samajhte haain aur ham se yahoodee bhasha men shaharapanah par baaitte huae logon ke sunate baten n kara.
27 rabashaake ne un se kaha, kya mere svamee ne mujhe tumhare svamee hee ke, va tumhare hee pas ye baten kahane ko bheja haai? kya us ne mujhe un logon ke pas naheen bheja, jo shaharapanah par baaitte haai, taki numhare sang unako bhee apanee bishtta khana aur apana mootra peena pade?
28 tab rabashaake ne khde ho, yahoodee bhasha men unche shabd se kaha, maharajadhairaj arthta ashshoor ke raja kee bat suno.
29 raja yon kahata haai, ki hijaakiyyah tum ko bhulane n paa, kyonaki vah tumhen mere hath se bacha n sakega.
30 aur vah tum se yah kahakar yahova par bhrosa karane n paa, ki yahova nishchay ham ko bachaaega aur yah nagar ashshoor ke raja ke vash men n padega.
31 hijaakiyyah kee mat suno. ashshoor ka raja kahata haai ki bhentt bhejakar mujhe prasann karo aur mere pas nikal ao, aur pratyek apanee apanee dakhlata aur anjeer ke vraksha ke fal khata aur apane apane kund ka panee peeta rahe.
32 tab maain akar tum ko aeese desh men le jaunga, jo tumhare desh ke saman anaj aur naye dakhmadha ka desha, rottee aur dakhbariyon ka desha, jalapaiyon aur madha ka desh haai, vahan tum maroge nahee, jeevit rahoge to jab hijaakiyyah yah kahakar tum ko bahakaa, ki yahova ham ko bachaaega, tab usakee n sunana.
33 kya aur jatiyon ke devataon ne apane apane desh ko ashshoor ke raja ke hath se kabhee bachaya haai?
34 hamat aur arpad ke devata kahan rahe? sapavaainm, hena aur iyva ke devata kahan rahe? kya unhon ne shaemaron ko mere hath se bachaya haai,
35 desh desh ke sab devataon men se aeesa kaun haai, jis ne apane desh ko mere hath se bachaya ho? fir kya yahova yarooshalem ko mere hath se bachaaega.
36 parantu sab log chup rahe aur usake uttar men aek bat bhee n kahee, kyonaki raja kee aeesee agyaa thee, ki usako uttar n dena.
37 tab hilaakiyyah ka putra aelyakeem jo rajagharane ke kam par tha, aur shobna jo mantraee tha, aur asap ka putra yoah jo iatihas ka likhnevala tha, apane vasr faade hua, hijaakiyyah ke pas jakar rabashaake kee baten kah sunai.
