hijaakiyyah raja ke chaudahaven varsha me, ashshoor ke raja sanhereeb ne yahooda ke sab gaddhvale nagaron par chaddhai karake unako le liya.
2 aur ashshoor ke raja ne rabashaake kee badee sena dekar lakeesh se yarooshalem ke pas hijaakiyyah raja ke virooddh bhej diya. aur vah uttree pokhre kee nalee ke pas dhaeabiyon ke khet kee sadk par jakar khda hua.
3 tab hilkaiyyah ka putra aelyakeem jo rajagharane ke kam par niyukt tha, aur shobna jo mantraee tha, aur asap ka putra yoah jo iatihas ka lekhk tha, ye teenon us se milane ko bahar nikal gaae..
4 rabashaake ne un se kaha, hijaakiyyah se kaha, maharajadhairaj ashshoor ka raja yon kahata haai ki too kisaka bhrosa kiae baaitta haai?
5 mera kahana haai ki kya munh se baten banana hee yuddh ke liye parakram aur yuaktai haai? too kis par bhrosa rakhta haai ki too ne mujh se balava kiya haai?
6 sun, too to us kuchale huae narakatt arthata misr par bhrosa rakhta haai us par yaadi koi ttek lagaae to vah usake hath men chubhkar chhed kar dega. misr ka raja firaun un sab ke sath aeesa hee karata haai jo us par bhrosa rakhte haain.
7 fir yadi too mujh se kahe, hamara bhrosa apane parameshvar yahova par haai, to kya vah vahee naheen haai jisake unche sthanon aur vediyon ko ddha kar hijaakiyyah ne yahooda aur yarooshalem ke logon se kaha ki tum is vedee ke samhane dandvata kiya karo?
8 isaliye ab mere svamee ashshoor ke raja ke sath vacha bandha tab maain tujhe do hajar ghaede doonga yaadi too un par savar chaddha sake.
9 fir too rathon aur savaron ke liye misr par bhrosa rakhkar mere svamee ke chhotte se chhotte karmacharee ko bhee kaaise hatta sakega?
10 kya maain ne yahova ke bina kahe is desh ko ujadne ke liye chaddhai kee haai? yahova ne mujh se kaha haai, us desh par chaddhai karake use ujad de..
11 tab aelyakeem, shobna aur yoah ne rabashaake se kaha, apane dason se aramee bhasha men bat kar kyonaki ham use samajhte haain ham se yahoodee bhasha men shaharapanah par baaitte huae logon ke sunate baten n kara.
12 rabashaake ne kaha, kya mere svamee ne mujhe tere 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 haain jinhen tumhare sang apanee vishtta khana aur apana mootra peena padega?
13 tab rabashaake ne khde hokar yahoodee bhasha men unche shabd se kaha, maharajaadhairaj ashshoor ke raja kee baten suno!
14 raja yon kahata haai, hijaakiyyah tum ko dhaekha n de, kyonaki vah tumhen bacha n sakega.
15 aeesa n ho ki hijaakiyyah tum se yah kahakar bhulava de ki yahova nishchay ham ko bachaaega ki yah nagar ashshoor ke raja ke vash men n padega.
17 jab tak maain akar tum ko aeese desh men n le jaun jo tumhare desh ke saman anaj aur naye dakhmadha ka desh aur rottee aur dakh kee baariyon ka desh haai.
18 aeesa n ho ki hijaakiyyah yah kahakar tum ko bahakaae ki yahova ham ko bachaaega. kya aur jaatiyon ke devataon ne apane apane desh ko ashshoor ke raja ke hath se bachaya haai?
19 hamat aur arpad ke devata kahan rahe? sapavaraim ke devata kahan rahe? kya unhon ne shaemaron ko mere hath se bachaya?
20 desh desh ke 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?
21 parantu ve chup rahe aur usake uttr men aek bat bhee n kahee, kyonki raja kee aeesee agyaa thee ki usako uttr n dena.
22 tab hilkaiyyah ka putra aelyakeem jo rajagharane ke kam par niyukt tha aur shobna jo mantraee tha aur asap tha, inhon ne hijaakiyyah ke pas vasr faade huae jakar rabashaake kee baten kah sunai..
