in baton aur aeese prabandha ke bad ashshoor ka raja sanhereeb ne akar yahooda men pravesh kar or gaddhvale nagaron ke viruddh dere dalakar unako apane labh ke liye lena chaha.
2 yah dekhkar ki sanhereeb nikatt aya haai aur yarooshalem se ladne kee manasa karata haai,
3 hijaakiyyah ne apane hakimon aur veeron ke sath yah sammati kee, ki nagar ke bahar ke soton ko pattva den aur unhon ne usakee sahayata kee.
4 is par bahut se log ikatthe hua, aur yah kahakar, ki ashshoor ke raja kyon yahan aae, aur akar bahut panee paae, unhonne sab soton ko patt diya aur us nadee ko sukha diya jo desh ke madhy hokar bahatee thee.
5 fir hijaakiyyah ne hiyav bandhakar shaharapanah jahan kaheen toottee thee, vahan vahan usako banavaya, aur use gummatton ke barabar uncha kiya aur bahar aek aur shaharapanah banavai, aur daudapur men millo ko draddh kiya. aur bahut se teer aur ddhalen bhee banavai.
6 tab us ne praja ke upar senapaati niyukt kiae aur unako nagar ke faattk ke chauk men ikattha kiya, aur yah kahakar unako dhaeeraj diya,
7 ki hiyav bandhae aur draddh ho tum n to ashshoor ke raja se dro aur n usake sang kee saree bheed se, aur n tumhara man kachcha ho kyonaki jo hamare sath haai, vah usake sangiyon se bada haai.
8 arthata usaka sahara to matushy hee haai parantu hamare sat, hamaree sahayata aur hamaree or se yuddh karane ko hamara parameshvar yahova haai. isaliye praja ke log yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah kee baton par bhrosa kiae rahe.
9 isake bad ashshoor ka raja sanhereeb jo saree sena samet lakeesh ke samhane pada tha, us ne apane karmachaariyon ko yarooshalem men yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah aur un sab yahoodiyon se jo yarooshalem men the yon kahane ke liye bheja,
10 ki ashshoor ka raja sanhereeb kahata haai, ki tumhen kis ka bhrosa haai jisase ki tum ghore huae yarooshalem men baaitte ho?
11 kya hijaakiyyah tum se yah kahakar ki hamara parameshvar yahova ham ko ashshoor ke raja ke panje se bachaaega tumhen naheen bhramata haai ki tum ko bookhon pyason mare?
12 kya usee hijaakiyyah ne usake unche sthan aur veadiyo door karake yahooda aur yarooshalem ko agyaa naheen dee, ki tum aek hee vedee ke samhane dandvat karana aur usee par dhoop jalana?
13 kya tum ko maloom nahee, ki maain ne aur mere purakhaon ne desh desh ke sab logon se kya kya kiya haai? kya un deshon kee jatiyon ke devata kisee bhee upay se apane desh ko mere hath se bacha sake?
14 jitanee jatiyon ka mere purakhaon ne satyanash kiya haai unake sab devataon men se aeesa kaun tha jo apanee praja ko mere hath se bacha saka ho? fir tumhara devata tum ko mere hath se kaaise bacha sakega?
15 ab hijaakiyyah tum ko is reeti bhulane athva bahakane n paa, aur tum usakee prateeati n karo, kyonki kisee jaati ya rajy ka koi devata apanee praja ko n to mere hath se aur n mere purakhaon ke hath se bacha saka. yah nishchay haai ki tumhara devata tum ko mere hath se naheen bacha sakega.
16 is se bhee aadhaik usake karmachariyon ne yahova parameshvar kee, aur usake das hijaakiyyah kee ninda kee.
17 fir us ne aeesa aek patra bheja, jis men israaael ke parameshvar yahova kee ninda kee ye baten likhee thee, ki jaaise desh desh kee jatiyon ke devataon ne apanee apanee praja ko mere hath se naheen bachaya vaaise hee hijaakiyyah ka devata bhee apanee praja ko mere hath se naheen bacha sakega.
18 aur unhon ne unche shabd se un yarooshaleamiyon ko jo shaharapanah par baaitte the, yahoodee bolee men pukara, ki unako drakar ghabarahatt men dal den jis se nagar ko le len.
19 aur unhon ne yarooshalem ke parameshvar kee aeesee charcha kee, ki mano prathvee ke desh desh ke logon ke devataon ke barabar ho, jo manushyon ke banaae huae haain.
20 tab in ghattnaon ke karan raja hijaakiyyah aur amos ke putra yashaayah nabee donon ne praarthna kee aur svarga kee or dohai dee.
21 tab yahova ne aek doot bhej diya, jis ne ashshoor ke raja kee chhavanee men sab shooraveero, pradhaanon aur senapaatiyon ko nash kiya. aur vah laajjait hokar, ane desh ko lautt gaya. aur jab vah apane devata ke bhvan men tha, tab usake nij putraen ne vaheen use talavar se mar dala.
22 yon yahova ne hijaakiyyah aur yarooshalem ke nivaasiyon ko ashshoor ke raja sanhereeb aur apane sab shatrauon ke hath se bachaya, aur charon or unakee aguvai kee.
23 aur bahut log yarooshalem ko yahova ke liye bhentt aur yahooda ke raja hijaakiyyah ke liye anamol vastuaen le ane lage, aur us samay se vah sab jatiyon kee draashtti men mahan tthara.
24 un dinon hijaakiyyah aeesa rogee hua, ki vah mara chahata tha, tab us ne yahova se praarthna kee aur us ne us se baten karake usake liye ek chamatkar dikhaya.
25 parantu hijaakiyyah ne us upakar ka badala n diya, kyonaki usaka man fool utta tha. is karan usaka kop us par aur yahooda aur yarooshalem par bhdka.
26 tab hijaakiyyah yarooshalem ke nivaasiyon samet apane man ke foolane ke karan deen ho gaya, isaliye yahova ka krodha un par hijaakiyyah ke dinon men n bhdka.
27 aur hijaakiyyah ko bahut hee dhan aur vibhv mila aur us ne chandee, sone, manaiyo, sugandhadravy, ddhalon aur sab prakar ke manabhavane patraen ke liye bhndar banavaae.
28 fir us ne ann, naya dakhmadha, aur ttttka lel ke liye bhndar, aur sab bhanati ke pashuuon ke liye than, aur bhed-bakaariyon ke liye bhedshaalaaen banavai.
29 aur us ne nagar basaa, aur bahut hee bhed-bakaariyon aur gaya-baailon kee sampattai ikattha kar lee, kyonki parameshvar ne use bahut hee dhan diya tha.
30 usee hijaakiyyah ne geehon nam nadee ke upar ke sote ko pattkar us nadee ko neeche kee or daudapur kee paachchhim alang ko seedha pahunchaya, aur hijaakiyyah apane sab kamon men kratarth hota tha.
31 taubhee jab babel ke haakimon ne usake pas usake desh men kiae huae chamatkar ke vishay poochhne ko doot bheje tab parameshvar ne usako isaaliye chhod diya, ki usako parakh kar usake man ka sara bhed jan le.
32 hijaakiyyah ke aur kam, or usake bhaktai ke kam amos ke putra yashaayah nabee ke darshan nam pustak me, aur yahooda aur israaael ke rajaon ke itihas kee pustak men likhe haain.
33 ant men hijaakiyyah apane purakhaon ke sang so gaya aur usako daud kee santan ke kabirstan kee chaddhai par mittee dee gai, aur sab yahoodiyon aur yarooshalem ke nivaasiyon ne usakee mratyu par usaka adaraman kiya. aur usaka putra manashsho usake sthan par rajy karane laga.
