yahoshapat bada dhanavan aur aeeshvayryavan ho gaya aur us ne ahab ke sath samadhaiyana kiya.
2 kuchh varsha ke bad vah shaemaron men ahab ke pas gaya, tab ahab ne usake aur usake sanagiyon ke liye bahut see bhed-bakaariyan aur gaya-baail kattkar, use gilad ke ramot par chaddhai karane ko usakaya.
3 aur israaael ke raja ahab ne yahooda ke raja yahoshaapat se kaha, kya too mere sath gilad ke ramot par chaddhai karega? us ne use uttar diya, jaaisa too vaaisa maain bhee hoo, aur jaaisee teree praja, vaaisee meree bhee praja haai. ham log yuddh men tera sath denge.
4 fir yahoshaapat te israaael ke raja se kaha, aj yahova kee agyaa le.
5 tab israaael ke raja ne naabiyon ko jo char sau purush the, ikattha karake un se poochha, kya ham gilad ke ramot par yuddh karane ko chaddhai kare, athva maain ruka rahoon? unhon ne uttar diya chaddhai kar, kyonaki parameshvar usako raja ke hath kar dega.
6 parantu yahoshaapat ne poochha, kya yahon yahova ka aur bhee koi nabee naheen haai jis se ham poochh len?
7 israaael ke raja ne yahoshaapat se kaha, ha, aek purush aur haai, jisake dara ham yahova se poochh sakate haain parantu maain us se gharana karata hoo kyonki vah mere vishy kabhee kalyan kee nahee, sada haani hee kee naboovat karata haai. vah yimla ka putra meekayah haai. yahoshaapat ne kaha, raja aeesa n kahe.
8 tab israaael ke raja ne aek haakim ko bulavakar kaha, yimla ke putra meekayah ko fauta se le a.
9 israaael ka raja aur yahooda ka raja yahoshaapat apane apane rajavasr pahine hua, apane apane sinhasan par baaitte huae the ve shaemaron ke faattk men aek khule sthan men baaitte the aur sab nabee unake samhane naboovat kar rahe the.
10 tab kanana ke putra sidaakiyyah ne lohe ke seeng banavakar kaha, yahova yon kahata haai, ki in se too araamiyon ko marate marate nash kar dalega.
11 aur sab naabiyon ne isee ashay kee naboovat karake kaha, ki gilad ke ramot par chaddhai kar aur too kratarth hove kyonki yahova use raja ke hath kar dega.
12 aur jo doot meekayah ko bulane gaya tha, us ne us se kaha, sun, nabee log aek hee munh se raja ke vishay haubh vachan kahate haain so teree bat unakee see ho, too bhee shuubh vachan kahana.
13 meekayah ne kaha, yahova ke jeevan kee saunh, jo kuchh mera parameshvar kahe vahee maain bhee kahoonga.
14 jab vah raja ke pas aya, tab raja ne us se poochha, he meekayah, kya ham gilad ke ramot par yuddh karane ko chaddhai karen athva maain ruka rahoon? us ne kaha, ha, tum log chaddhai karo, aur kratarth hoo aur ve tumhare hath men kar diae jaaenge.
15 raja ne us se kaha, mujhe kitanee bar tujhe shapath dharakar chitana hoga, ki too yahova ka smaran karake mujh se sach hee kaha.
16 meekayah ne kaha, mujhe sara israaael bina charavahe kee bhend-bakaariyon kee nai pahadon par titar bitar dikhai pada, aur yahova ka vachan aya ki ve to anath haai, isaaliye har aek apane apane ghar kushal kshom se lautt jaaen.
17 tab israaael ke raja ne yahoshaapat se kaha, kya maain ne tujh se n kaha tha, ki vah mere vishay kalyan kee nahee, hani hee kee naboovat karega?
18 meekayah ne kaha, is karan tum log yahova ka yah vachan suno mujhe sinhasan par virajaman yahova aur usake daahine baaen khdee hui svarga kee saree sena dikhai padee.
19 tab yahova ne poochha, israaael ke raja ahab ko kaun aeesa bahakaaega, ki vah gilad ke ramot par chaddhai karake khet aa, tab kisee ne kuchh aur kisee ne kuchh kaha.
20 nidan aek atma pas akar yahova ke sammukh khdee hui, aur kahane lagee, maain usako bahakaungee.
21 yahova ne poochha, kis upay se? us ne kaha, maain jakar usake sab nabiyon men paaitt ke un se joott bulavaungee. yahova ne kaha, tera usako bahakana safal hoga, jakar aeesa hee kara.
22 isaliye tun ab yahova ne tere in nabiyon ke munh men aek joott bolanevalee atma paaittai haai, aur yahova ne tere vishay haani kee bat kahee haai.
23 tab kanana ke putra sidaakiyyah ne nikatt ja, meekayah ke gal par thppad marakar poochha, yahova ka atma mujhe chhodkar tujh se baten karane ko kidhar gaya.
24 us ne kaha, jis din too chhpaine ke liye kottree se kottree men bhagega, tab jan lega.
25 is par israaael ke raja ne kaha, ki meekayah ko nagar ke haakim amon aur rajakumar yoash ke pas lauttakar,
26 un se kaho, raja yon kahata haai, ki isako bandeegrah men dalo, aur jab tak maain kushal se n au, tab tak ise dukh kee rottee aur panee diya karo.
27 tab meekayah ne kaha, yadi too kabhee kushal se lautte, to jan, ki yahova ne mere dara naheen kaha. fir us ne kaha, he logo, tum sab ke sab sunan lo.
28 tab israaael ke raja aur yahooda ke raja yahoshaapat donon ne gilad ke ramot par chaddhai kee.
29 aur israaael ke raja ne yahoshaapat se kaha, maain to bhesh badalakar yuddh men jaunga, parantu too apane hee vasr pahine raha. israaael ke raja ne bhesh badala aur ve donon yuddh men gaae.
30 aram ke raja ne to apane rathon ke pradhaanon ko agyaa dee thee, ki n to chhotte se lado aur n bade se, keval israaael ke raja se lado.
31 so jab rathon ke pradhaanon ne yahoshaapat ko dekha, tab kaha israaael ka raja vahee haai, aur ve usee se ladne ko mude. is par yahoshaapat chilla utta, tab yahova ne usakee sahayata kee. aur parameshvar ne unako usake pas se fir jane kee praerana kee.
32 so yah dekhkar ki vah israaael ka raja nahee haai, rathon ke pradhaan usaka peechha chhod ke lautt gaae.
33 tab kisee ne attkal se aek teer chalaya, aur vah israaael ke raja ke jhlaim aur nichale vasr ke beech chhedakar laga tab us ne apane sarathee se kaha, maain ghaayal hua, isaliye lagam faerake mujhe sena men se bahar le chala.
34 aur us din yuddh baddhta gaya aur israaael ka raja apane rath men araamiyon ke sammukh sanjh tak khda raha, parantu soorya ast hote-hote vah mar gaya.
