Adhyāya 21
israaelee purooshaen ne to mispa men shapath khakar kaha tha, ki ham men koi apanee bettee kisee binyameenee ko n byah dega.
2 ve betel ko jakar sanjh tak parameshvar ke samhane baaitte rahe, aur foott foottkar bahut rote rahe.
3 aur kahate the, he israael ke parameshvar yahova, israael men aeesa kyon hone paya, ki aj israael men aek gotra kee ghattee hui haai?
4 fir doosare din unhon ne savere utt vahan vedee banakar homabali aur melabali chaddhaae.
5 tab israaelee poochhne lage, israael ke sare gotraen men se kaun haai jo yahova ke pas sabha men n aya tha? unhon ne to bharee shapath khakar kaha tha, ki jo koi mispa ko yahova ke pas n aae vah nishchay mar dala jaaega.
6 tab israaelee apane bhai binyameen ke vishay men yah kahakar pachhtane lage, ki aj israael men se aek gotra katt gaya haai.
7 ham ne jo yahova kee shapath khakar kaha haai, ki ham unhen apanee kisee bettee ko n byah denge, isaaliye bache huon ko striayan milane ke liye kya karen?
8 jab unhon ne yah poochha, ki israael ke gotraen men se kaun haai jo mispa ko yahova ke pas n aya tha? tab yah maloom hua, ki giladee yavesh se koi chhavanee men sabha ko n aya tha.
9 arthata jab logon kee ginatee kee gai, tab yah jana gaya ki giladee yavesh ke nivaasiyon men se koi yahan naheen haai.
10 isaliye mandlee ne barah hajar shooraveeron ko vahan yah agyaa dekar bhej diya, ki tum jakar striayon aur balabachchon samet giladee yavesh ko talavar se nash karo.
11 aur tumhen jo karana hoga vah yah haai, ki sab purooshaen ko aur jitanee striyon ne puroosh ka munh dekha ho unako satyanash kar dalana.
12 aur unhen giladee yavesh ke nivaasiyon men se char sau javan kumaariyan mileen jinhon ne puroosh ka munh naheen dekha tha aur unhen ve shaeelo ko jo kanan desh men haai chhavanee men le aae..
13 tab saree mandlee ne un binyameeaniyon ke pas jo rimmon nam chattan par the kahala bheja, aur un se sanadhai ka prachar karaya.
14 tab binyameen usee samay lautt gaae aur unako ve striayan dee gain jo giladee yavesh kee striayon men se jeevit chhodee gain theen taubhee ve unake liye thodee theen.
15 tab log binyameen ke vishay fir yah kahake pachhtaye, ki yahova ne israael ke gotraen men ghattee kee haai.
16 tab mandlee ke vraddh gotraen ne kaha, ki binyameenee striayan jo nash hui haai, to bache huae purooshaen ke liye sree pane ka ham kya upay karen?
17 fir unhon ne kaha, bache huae binyameeaniyon ke liye koi bhag chahiye, aeesa n ho ki israael men se aek gotra mitt jaae.
18 parantu ham to apanee kisee bettee ko unhen byah naheen de sakate, kyonki israaeliyon ne yah kahakar shapath khai haai ki shaaapit ho vah jo kisee binyameenee ko apanee ladkee byah de.
19 fir unhon ne kaha, suno, shaeelo jo betel kee uttr or, aur us sadk kee poorva or haai jo betel se shaken ko chalee gai haai, aur labona kee daakkhian or haai, us men prati varsha yahova ka aek parva mana jata haai.
20 isaliye unhon ne binyameeaniyon ko yah agyaa dee, ki tum jakar dakh kee baariyon ke beech ghaat lagaae baaitte raho,
21 aur dekhte raho aur yadi shaeelo kee ladkiyan nachane ko nikale, to tum dakh kee bariyon se nikalakar shaeelo kee ladkiyon men se apanee apanee sree ko pakadkar binyameen ke desh ko chale jana.
22 aur jab unake pita va bhai hamare pas jhgadne ko aaenge, tab ham un se kahenge, ki anugrah karake unako hamen de do, kyonaki ladai ke samay ham ne un men se aek aek ke liye sree naheen bachai aur tum logon ne to unako byah naheen diya, naheen to tum ab doshaee ttharate.
23 tab binyameeaniyon ne aeesa hee kiya, arthata unhon ne apanee ginatee ke anusar un nachanevaaliyon men se pakadkar striayan le leen tab apane bhag ko lautt gaa, aur nagaron ko basakar un men rahane lage.
24 usee samay israelee vahan se chalakar apane apane gotra aur apane apane gharane ko gaa, aur vahan se ve apane apane nij bhag ko gae.
25 un dinon men israeliyon ka koi raja n tha jisako jo tteek soojh padta tha vahee vah karata tha..
