Numbers 34
1 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,
2 इस्त्राएलियों को यह आज्ञा दे, कि जो देश तुम्हारा भाग होगा वह तो चारों ओर से सिवाने तक का कनान देश है, इसलिये जब तुम कनान देश मे पहुंचों,
3 तब तुम्हारा दक्खिनी प्रान्त सीन नाम जंगल से ले एदोम देश के किनारे किनारे होता हुआ चला जाए, और तुम्हारा दक्खिनी सिवाना खारे ताल के सिरे पर आरम्भ हो कर पश्चिम की ओर चले;
4 वहां से तुम्हारा सिवाना अक्रब्बीम नाम चढ़ाई की दक्खिन की ओर पहुंचकर मुड़े, और सीन तक आए, और कादेशबर्ने की दक्खिन की ओर निकले, और हसरद्दार तक बढ़के अस्मोन तक पहुंचे;
5 फिर वह सिवाना अस्मोन से घूमकर मिस्र के नाले तक पहुंचे, और उसका अन्त समुद्र का तट ठहरे।
6 फिर पच्छिमी सिवाना महासमुद्र हो; तुम्हारा पच्छिमी सिवाना यही ठहरे।
7 और तुम्हारा उत्तरीय सिवाना यह हो, अर्थात तुम महासमुद्र से ले होर पर्वत तक सिवाना बन्धाना;
8 और होर पर्वत से हामात की घाटी तक सिवाना बान्धना, और वह सदाद पर निकले;
9 फिर वह सिवाना जिप्रोन तक पहुंचे, और हसरेनान पर निकले; तुम्हारा उत्तरीय सिवाना यही ठहरे।
10 फिर अपना पूरबी सिवाना हसरेनान से शपाम तक बान्धना;
11 और वह सिवाना शपाम से रिबला तक, जो ऐन की पूर्व की ओर है, नीचे को उतरते उतरते किन्नेरेत नाम ताल के पूर्व से लग जाए;
12 और वह सिवाना यरदन तक उतर के खारे ताल के तट पर निकले। तुम्हारे देश के चारों सिवाने ये ही ठहरें।
13 तब मूसा ने इस्त्राएलियों से फिर कहा, जिस देश के तुम चिट्ठी डालकर अधिकारी होगे, और यहोवा ने उसे साढ़े नौ गोत्र के लोगों को देने की आज्ञा दी है, वह यही है;
14 परन्तु रूबेनियों और गादियों के गोत्र तो अपने अपने पितरों के कुलों के अनुसार अपना अपना भाग पा चुके हैं, और मनश्शे के आधे गोत्र के लोग भी अपना भाग पा चुके हैं;
15 अर्थात उन अढ़ाई गोत्रों के लोग यरीहो के पास की यरदन के पार पूर्व दिशा में, जहां सूर्योदय होता है, अपना अपना भाग पा चुके हैं॥
16 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,
17 कि जो पुरूष तुम लोगों के लिये उस देश को बांटेंगे उनके नाम ये हैं; अर्थात एलीआजर याजक और नून का पुत्र यहोशू।
18 और देश को बांटने के लिये एक एक गोत्र का एक एक प्रधान ठहराना।
19 और इन पुरूषों के नाम ये हैं; अर्थात यहूदागोत्री यपुन्ने का पुत्र कालेब,
20 शिमोनगोत्री अम्मीहूद का पुत्र शमुएल,
21 बिन्यामीनगोत्री किसलोन का पुत्र एलीदाद,
22 दानियों के गोत्र का प्रधान योग्ली का पुत्र बुक्की,
23 यूसुफियों में से मनश्शेइयों के गोत्र का प्रधान एपोद का पुत्र हन्नीएल,
24 और एप्रैमियों के गोत्र का प्रधान शिम्तान का पुत्र कमूएल,
25 जबूलूनियों के गोत्र का प्रधान पर्नाक का पुत्र एलीसापान,
26 इस्साकारियों के गोत्र का प्रधान अज्जान का पुत्र पलतीएल,
27 आशेरियों के गोत्र का प्रधान शलोमी का पुत्र अहीहूद,
28 और नप्तालियों के गोत्र का प्रधान अम्मीहूद का पुत्र पदहेल।
29 जिन पुरूषों को यहोवा ने कनान देश को इस्त्राएलियों के लिये बांटने की आज्ञा दी वे ये ही हैं॥
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did.
4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
6 For he clave to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
7 And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25 Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
27 But Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.
33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
