Adhyāya 1
ahab ke marane ke bad moab israaael ke viruddh ho gaya.
2 aur ahajyah aek jhlaimileedar khaidkee men se, jo shaemaron men usakee attaree men thee, gir pada, aur beemar ho gaya. tab us ne dooton ko yah kahakar bheja, ki tum jakar aekron ke balajaboob nam devata se yah poochh ao, ki kya maain is beemaree se bachoonga ki naheen?
3 tab yahova ke doot ne tishabee aeliyyah se kaha, uttkar shaemaron ke raja ke dooton se milane ko ja, aur un se kah, kya israaael men koi parameshvar naheen jo tum aekron ke balajaboob devata se poochhne jate ho?
4 isaliye ab yahova tujh se yon kahata haai, ki jis palang par too pada haai, us par se kabhee n uttega, parantu mar hee jaaega. tab aeliyyah chala gaya.
5 jab ahajyah ke doot usake pas lautt aa, tab us ne un se poochha, tum kyon lautt aae ho?
6 unhon ne us se kaha, ki ek manushy ham se milane ko aya, aur kaha, ki jis raja ne tum ko bheja usake pas lauttkar kaho, yahova yon kahata haai, ki kya israael men koi parameshvar naheen jo too ekron ke balajaboob devata se poochhne ko bhejata haai? is karan jis palang par too pada haai, us par se kabhee n uttega, parantu mar hee jaega.
7 us ne un se poochha, jo manushy tum se milane ko aya, aur tum se ye baten kahee, usaka kaaisa ranga-roop tha?
8 unhon ne usako uttar diya, vah to ronar manushy tha aur apanee kamar men chamade ka faentta bandho huae tha. us ne kaha, vah tishabee eliyyah hoga.
9 tab us ne usake pas pachas sipaahiyon ke aek pradhaan ko usake pachason sipaahiyon samet bheja. pradhaan ne usake pas jakar kya dekha ki vah pahad kee chottee par baaitta haai. aur us ne us se kaha, he parameshvar ke bhkt raja ne kaha haai, ki too utar a.
10 aeliyyah ne us pachas sipaahiyon ke pradhaan se kaha, yadi maain parameshvar ka bhkt hoo to akash se ag girakar tujhe tere pachason samet bhsm kar dale. tab akash se ag utaree aur use usake pachason samet bhsm kar diya.
11 fir raja ne usake pas pachas sipaahiyon ke aek aur pradhaan ko, pachason sipaahiyon samet bhej diya. pradhaan ne us se kaha he parameshvar ke bhkt raja ne kaha haai, ki fauta se too utar a.
12 aeliyyah ne uttar dekar un se kaha, yadi maain parameshvar ka bhkt hoo to akash se ag girakar tujhe, tere pachason samet bhsm kar dale tab akash se parameshvar kee ag utaree aur use usake pachason samet bhsm kar diya.
13 fir raja ne teesaree bar pachas sipaahiyon ke aek aur pradhaan ko, pachason sipaahiyon samet bhej diya, aur pachas ka vah teesara pradhaan chaddhkar, aeliyyah ke samhane ghauttnon ke bal gira, aur gidgida kar us se kahane laga, he parameshvar ke bhkt mera praan aur tere in pachas dason ke praan teree draashtti men anamol ttharen.
14 pachas pachas sipaahiyon ke jo do pradhaan apane apane pachason samet pahile aae the, unako to ag ne akash se girakar bhsm kar dala, parantu ab mera praan teree drashtti men anamol tthare.
15 tab yahova ke doot ne uliyyah se kaha, usake sang neeche ja, us se pat dra. tab aeliyyah uttkar usake sang raja ke pas neeche gaya.
16 aur us se kaha, yahova yon kahata haai, ki too ne to aekron ke balajaboob devata se poochhne ko doot bheje the to kya israaael men koi parameshvar naheen ki jis se too poochh sake? is karan too jis palang par pada haai, us par se kabhee n uttega, parantu mar hee jaaega.
17 yahova ke is vachan ke anusar jo aeliyyah ne kaha tha, vah mar gaya. aur usake santan n hone ke karan yahoram usake sthan par yahooda ke raja yahoshaapat ke putra yahoram ke doosare varsha men rajy karane laga.
18 ahajyah ke aur kam jo us ne kiae vah kya israaael ke rajaon ke itihas kee pustak men naheen likhe haain?
