Adhyāya 16
ramalyah ke putra pekah ke satrahaven varsha men yahooda ke raja yotam ka putra ahaj rajy karane laga.
2 jab ahaj rajy karane laga, tab vah bees parsha ka tha, aur solah varsha tak yarooshalem men rajy karata raha. aur us ne apane moolapurush daud ka sa kam naheen kiya, jo usake parameshvar yahova kee draashtti men tteek tha.
3 parantu vah israaael ke rajaon kee see chal chala, varan un jaatiyon ke ghainaune kamon ke anusar, jinhen yahova ne israaaeliyon ke samhane se desh se nikal diya tha, us ne apane bette ko bhee ag men hom kar diya.
4 aur unche sthanon par, aur pahaadiyon par, aur sab hare vrakshaen ke tale, vah bali chaddhaya aur dhoom jalaya karata tha.
5 tab aram ke raja raseen, aur ramalyah ke putra israaael ke raja pekah ne ladne ke liye yarooshalem par chaddhai kee, aur unhon ne ahaj ko ghor liya, parantu yuddh karake un se kuchh ban n pada.
6 us samay aram ke raja raseen ne, elat ko aram ke vash men karake, yahoodiyon ko vahan se nikal diya tab aramee log elat ko gaa, aur aj ke din tak vahan rahate haain.
7 aur ahaj ne doot bhejakar ashshoor ke raja tiglatpaileser ke pas kahala bheja ki mujhe apana das, varan betta janakar chaddhai kar, aur mujhe aram ke raja aur israaael ke raja ke hath se bacha jo mere viruddh utte haain.
8 aur ahaj ne yahova ke bhvan men aur rajabhvan ke bhndaron men jitana sona-chandee mila use ashshoor ke raja ke pas bhentt karake bhej diya.
9 usakee manakar ashshoor ke raja ne damishk par chaddhai kee, aur use lekar usake logon ko bandhaua karake, keer ko le gaya, aur raseen ko mar dala.
10 tab raja ahaj ashshoor ke raja tiglatpaileser se bhentt karane ke liye daamishk ko gaya, aur vahan kee vedee dekhkar usakee sab banavatt ke anusar usaka nakasha uriyyah yajak ke pas namoona karake bhej diya.
11 aur tteek isee namoone ke anusar jise raja ahaj ne daamishk se bheja tha, uriyyah yajak ne raja ahaj ke daamishk se ane tak aek vedee bana dee.
12 jab raja damishk se aya tab us ne us vedee ko dekha, aur usake nikatt jakar us par bali chaddhaae.
13 usee vedee par us ne apana homabaali aur annabali jalauya, aur ardha diya aur melabaaliyon ka lohoo chhdik diya.
14 aur peetal kee jo vedee yahova ke samhane rahatee thee usako us ne bhvan ke samhane se arthata apanee vedee aur yahova ke bhvan ke beech se hattakar, us vedee kee utar or rakh diya.
15 tab raja ahaj ne uriyyah yajak ko yah agyaa dee, ki bhor ke hopabali aur sanjh ke annabaali, raja ke homabaali aur usake annabali, aur sab sadhaaran logon ke homabali aur ardha badee vedee par chaddhaya kar, aur homabaliyon aur melabaaliyon ka sab lohoo us par chhdika aur peetal kee vedee ke vishay maain vichar karoonga.
16 raja ahaj kee is agyaa ke anusar uriyyah yajak ne kiya.
17 fir raja ahaj ne kursiyon kee pattriyon ko katt dala, aur haudiyon ko un par se utar diya, aur bade haud ko un peetal ke baailon par se jo usake tale the utarakar, patthron ke farsha par dhar diya.
18 aur vishraam ke din ke liye jo chhaya hua sthan bhvan men bana tha, aur raja ke bahar ke pravesh karane ka faattk, unako us ne ashshoor ke raja ke karan yahova ke bhvan se alag kar diya.
19 ahaj ke aur kam jo us ne kia, ve kya yahooda ke rajaon ke iatihas kee pustak men naheen likhe haain?
20 nidan ahaj apane purakhaon ke sang so gaya aur use usake purakhaon ke beech daudapur men mittee dee gai, aur usaka putra hijaakiyyah usake sthan par rajy karane laga.
