1tab daud ne apane sang ke logon kee ginatee lee, aur un par sahasrpaati aur shatapati ttharaae.
2fir daud ne logon kee aek tihai to yoab ke, aur aek tihai sarooyah ke putra yoab ke bhai abeeshau ke, aur aek tihai gatee itteai ke, aadhaikar men karake yuddh men bhej diya. aur raja ne logon se kaha, maain bhee avashy tumhare sath chaloonga.
3logoen ne kaha, too jane n paaega. kyonaki chahe ham bhag jaae, taubhee ve hamaree chinta n karenge varan chahe ham men se adho mare bhee jaae, taubhee ve hamaree chinta n karenge. kyonki hamare sareekhe das hajaar purush haain isaaliye achchha yah haai ki too nagar men se hamaree sahayata karane ko taaiyar rahe.
4raja ne un se kaha, jo kuchh tumhen bhaae vahee maain karoonga. aur raja faattk kee aek or khda raha, aur sab log sau sau, aur hajaar, hajaar karake nikalane lage.
5aur raja ne yoab, abeeshau, aur itte ko agyaa dee, ki mere nimitt us javan, arthata abashaalom se komalata karana. yah agyaa raja ne abashaalom ke vishay sab pradhaanon ko sab logon ke sunate dee.
6so log israaael ka samhala karane ko maaidan men nikale aur aepraaim nam van men yuddh hua.
7vahan israaaelee log daud ke janon se har gaa, aur us din aeesa bada sanhar hua ki bees hajar khet aae.
8aur yuddh us samast desh men faail gaya aur us din jitane log talavar se mare gaa, un se bhee adhaik van ke karan mar gaae.
9sanyog se abashaalom aur daud ke janon kee bhentt ho gai. abashaalom to aek khchchar par chaddha hua ja raha tha, ki khchchar aek bade banj vraksha kee ghanee daaliyon ke neeche se gaya, aur usaka sir us banj vraksha men attk gaya, aur vah adhar men lattka rah gaya, aur usaka khchchar nikal gaya.
10isako dekhkar kisee manushy ne yoab ko bataya, ki maain ne abashaalom ko banj vraksha men ttnga hua dekha.
11yoab ne batanevale se kaha, too ne yah dekha ! fir kyon use vaheen marake boomi par n gira diya? to maain tujhe das tukade chandee aur aek kattbaind deta.
12us manushy ne yoab se kaha, chahe mere hath men hajaar ttukade chandee taulakar diae jaaee, taubhee rajakumar ke viruddh hath n baddhaunga kyonaki ham logon ke sunate raja ne tujhe aur abeeshau aur ittaai ko yah agyaa dee, ki tum men se koi kyon n ho us javan arthata abashaalom ko n chooe.
13yaadi maain dhaekha dekar usaka praan leta, to too ap mera virodhaee ho jata, kyonaki raja se koi bat chhpaiee naheen rahatee.
14yoab ne kaha, maain tere sang yonhee tthara naheen rah sakata ! so us ne teen lakadee hath men lekar abashaalom ke day me, jo banj vraksha men jeevaati lattka tha, chhed dala.
15tab yoab ke das hathaiyar ddhonevale javanon ne abashaalom ko ghorake aeesa mara ki vah mar gaya.
16fir yoab ne narasinga foonka, aur log inraaael ka peechha karane se lautte kyonki yoab praja ko bachana chahata tha.
17tab logon ne abashaalom ko utarake us van ke aek bade gadhe men dal diya, aur us par patthron ka aek bahut bada ddher laga diya aur sab israaaelee apate apane dere ko bhag gaae.
18apane jeete jee abashaalom ne yah sochakar ki mere nam ka smaran karanevala koi putra mere naheen haai, apane liye vah latt khdee karai thee jo raja kee tarai men haai aur latt ka apana hee nam rakha, jo aj ke din tak abashaalom kee latt kahalatee haai.
19aur sadok ke putra aheemas ne kaha, mujhe daudkar raja ko yah samachar dene de, ki yahova ne nyay karake tujhe tere shatrauon ke hath se bachaya haai.
20yoab ne us se kaha, too aj ke din samachar n de doosare din samachar dene paaega, parantu aj samachar n de, isaaliye ki rajakumar mar gaya haai.
21tab yoab ne aek kooshaee se kaha jo kuchh too ne dekha haai vah jakar raja ko bata de. to vah kooshaee yoab ko dandvata karake daud gaya.
22fir sadok ke putra aheemas ne doosaree bar yoab se kaha, jo ho so ho, parantu mujhe bhee kooshaee ke peechhe daud jane de. yoab ne kaha, he mere bette, tere samachar ka kuchh badala n milega, fir too kyon daud jana chahata haai?
23us ne yah kaha, jo ho so ho, parantu mujhe daud jane de. usane us se kaha, daud. tab aheemas dauda, aur tarai se hokar kooshaee ke age baddh gaya.
24daud to do faattkon ke beech baaitta tha, ki paharua jo faattk kee chht se hokar shaharapanah par chaddh gaya tha, us ne ankhen uttakar kya dekha, ki aek manushy akela dauda ata haai.
25jab paharuae ne pukarake raja ko yah bata diya, tab raja ne kaha, yaadi akela ata ho, to sandesha lata hoga. vah daudte daudte nikal aya.
26fir paharuae ne aek aur manushy ko daudte huae dekh faattk ke rakhvale ko pukarake kaha, sun, aek aur manushy akela dauda ata haai. raja ne kaha, vah bhee sandesha lata hoga.
27paharuae ne kaha, pujhe to aeesa dekh padta haai ki pahale ka daudna sadok ke putra aheemas ka sa haai. raja ne kaha, vah to bhla manushy haai, to bhla sandesh lata hoga.
28tab aheemas ne pukarake raja se kaha, kalyan. fir us ne boomi par munh ke bal gir raja ko dandvata karake kaha, tera parameshvar yahova dhany haai, jis ne mere prabhu raja ke viruddh hath uttanevale manushyon ko tere vash men kar diya haai !
29raja ne poochha, kya us javan abashaalom ka kalyan haai? aheemas ne kaha, jab yoab ne raja ke karmacharee ko aur tere das ko bhej diya, tab mujhe badee bheed dekh padee, parantu maloom n hua ki kya hua tha.
30raja ne kaha hattkar yaheen khda raha. aur vah hattkar khda raha.
31tab kooshaee bhee a gaya aur kooshaee kahane laga, mere prabhu raja ke liye samachar haai. yahova ne aj nyay karake tujhe un sabhon ke hath se bachaya haai jo tere viruddh utte the.
32raja ne kooshaee se poochha, kya vah javan arthata abashaalom kalyan se haai? kooshaee ne kaha, mere prabhu raja ke shatra, aur jitane teree haani ke liye utte haai, unakee dasha us javan kee see ho.
33tab raja bahut ghabaraya, aur faattk ke upar kee attaree par rota hua chaddhne laga aur chalate chalate yon kahata gaya, ki hay mere bette abashaalom ! mere bette, hay ! mere bette abashaalom ! bhla hota ki maain ap teree santee marata, hay ! abashaalom ! mere bette, mere bette !!
