doosra shamooel 12:1-31
12 isliye yahova ne naatan+ ko daavid ke paas bheja. naatan daavid ke paas aakaar+ kehne laga, “ek shehar mein do aadmi rehte the. ek ameer tha aur doosra gareeb.
2 ameer ke paas bahot-si bhedein aur bahot-se gaay-bail the.+
3 magar gareeb ke paas sirf ek bhed ki bachchi thi. usne use khareeda tha.+ woh bade pyar se uski dekhbhal karta tha. bhed ki woh bachchi us aadmi ke ghar mein uske beton ke saath badi hone lagi. us aadmi ke paas jo thoda-bahot khaana hota usi mein se woh apne memne ko khilata tha. woh uske pyale mein se peeti aur uski god mein soti thi. woh aadmi use apni beti ki tarah dekhta tha.
4 ek din jab ameer aadmi ke ghar ek mehman aaya to usne mehman ke khaane ke liye apni bhedon aur gaay-bailon mein se koi jaanvar halal nahin kiya. iske bajay, usne us gareeb ka memna le liya aur uska gosht pakakar apne mehman ke saamne paros diya.”+
5 jab daavid ne yah suna to us ameer aadmi ke khilaf uska gussa bhadak utha. usne naatan se kaha, “yahova ke jeevan ki shapath,+ jis aadmi ne aisa kiya woh maut ki saza ke laayak hai!
6 use us memne ki chaar guna bharpai karni hogi+ kyonki usne kitna dusht kaam kiya hai aur bilkul rehm nahin kiya.”
7 tab naatan ne daavid se kaha, “tu hi woh aadmi hai! israel ke parmeshvar yahova ne kaha hai, ‘mainne tera abhishek karke tujhe israel ka raja banaya tha+ aur tujhe shaaool ke haath se bachaya tha.+
8 tere maalik ka jo kuch tha woh sab mainne tujhe de diya+ aur uski patniyaan bhi tujhe de di.+ mainne tujhe israel aur yahooda ka gharana de diya tha+ aur agar yah sab kaafi na hota, to main teri khaatir aur bhi bahot kuch karne ko taiyar tha.+
9 fir toone yahova ki aagya ko kyon tuchh samjha aur aisa kaam kyon kiya jo uski nazar mein bura hai? toone hitti uriyah ko talvar se maar daala!+ use ammoniyon ki talvar se marva daala+ aur fir uski patni ko apni patni bana liya.+
10 ab dekh, tere ghar se talvar kabhi nahin hategi+ kyonki toone mujhe tuchh jaana aur hitti uriyah ki patni ko apni patni bana liya.’
11 yahova ne kaha hai, ‘ab main tere hi parivar se tujh par museebatein le aaunga.+ teri aankhon ke saamne main teri patniyon ko lekar doosre aadmi* ko de doonga+ aur woh din-dahade teri patniyon ke saath sambandh rakhega.+
12 toone chori-chhipe paap kiya tha+ magar main poore israel ki nazron ke saamne aur din-dahade tere saath aisa karvaunga.’”
13 tab daavid ne naatan se kaha, “mainne yahova ke khilaf paap kiya hai.”+ naatan ne daavid se kaha, “yahova ne tera paap maaf kiya hai.+ tu nahin marega.+
14 magar abhi-abhi tera jo beta paida hua hai woh zaroor mar jaayega kyonki toone yah paap karke yahova ka ghor anadar kiya hai.”
15 fir naatan apne ghar laut gaya.
yahova ne daavid ke us bachche ko beemar kar diya jo uriyah ki patni se paida hua tha.
16 daavid ne us ladke ki khaatir sachche parmeshvar se bahot minnatein kin. woh upvas karne laga aur usne ek daana tak munh mein nahin daala. woh har raat apne kamre mein jaata aur zameen par pada rehta tha.+
17 uske ghar ke mukhiya uske paas aate aur use uthane ki koshish karte magar woh nahin uthta aur kuch bhi khaane se inkar kar deta tha.
18 saatvein din uska bachcha mar gaya. magar daavid ke sevak use yah khabar dene se dar rahe the. woh kehne lage, “jab bachcha zinda tha tab bhi usne hamari baat nahin maani, to ab hum use kaise batayen ki bachcha mar gaya hai. kahin yah khabar sunkar woh apne saath kuch bura na kar baithe.”
19 jab daavid ne dekha ki uske sevak aapas mein kuch fusfusa rahe hain to woh samajh gaya ki bachcha mar gaya hai. usne sevkon se poochha, “kya bachcha mar gaya hai?” unhonne kaha, “haan, woh mar gaya hai.”
20 daavid zameen se utha aur nahaya, apne shareer par tel mal,+ kapde badle aur yahova ke bhavan+ mein jaakaar munh ke bal gira aur dandvat kiya. iske baad woh mahal vaapas aaya aur usne kaha ki uske liye khaana parosa jaaye. fir usne khaana khaaya.
21 uske sevkon ne usse poochha, “toone aisa kyon kiya? jab bachcha zinda tha tab toone kuch nahin khaaya-peeya aur rota raha. magar jaise hi bachche ki maut ho gayi tu utha aur toone khaana khaaya.”
22 daavid ne kaha, “jab bachcha zinda tha tab mainne upvas kiya+ aur main rota raha kyonki mainne socha, ‘shaayad yahova mujh par rehm kare aur bachche ko zinda rehne de.’+
23 lekin ab jab bachcha nahin raha to main kyon upvas karoon? kya main use zinda kar sakta hoon?+ woh mere paas vaapas nahin aa sakta,+ main hi uske paas kabraa mein jaaunga.”+
24 fir daavid ne apni patni batsheba+ ko dilasa diya. iske baad woh batsheba ke paas gaya aur uske saath sambandh rakhe. kuch samay baad batsheba ne ek bete ko janm diya aur uska naam sulaiman* rakha gaya.+ yahova usse bahot pyar karta tha+ aur
25 usne bhavishyavakta naatan ke haath yah sandesh bheja+ ki yahova ki khaatir us bachche ka naam yadeedyah* rakha jaaye.
26 udhaar yoab ne ammoniyon+ ke shehar rabbah+ ke khilaf apni ladai jaari rakhi aur us shaahi shehar* par kabza kar liya.+
27 fir yoab ne daavid ke paas apne dooton ke haath yah sandesh bheja: “mainne rabbah par hamla karke+ paaneevale is shehar* par kabza kar liya hai.
28 ab tu sena ki baaki tukdiyon ko ikattha karke yahaan aa aur shehar ko gherkar us par kabza kar le, kyonki main nahin chahta ki main shehar par jeet haasil karoon aur iska shrey mujhe mile.”*
29 isliye daavid ne apni sena ki saari tukdiyaan ikatthi kin aur unhein lekar rabbah gaya aur usse yuddh karke us par kabza kar liya.
30 fir usne malkam ke sir se taaj utar liya. woh taaj ek tode* sone ka tha aur us par keemti ratna jade huye the. woh taaj daavid ke sir par rakha gaya. daavid us shehar se khoob saara loot ka maal bhi le aaya.+
31 usne shehar ke logon ko bandi bana liya aur unhein laakaar patthar kaatne mein, tez dhaarvale lohe ke auzaron aur kulhadon se kaam karne mein aur intein banane mein laga diya. usne ammoniyon ke sabhi shehron ke saath aisa kiya. aakhir mein daavid aur uski saari tukdiyaan yarooshalem laut aayin.
