Exodus 34
1 യഹോവ പിന്നെയും മോശെയോടു കല്പിച്ചതു എന്തെന്നാൽ: മുമ്പിലത്തേവ പോലെ രണ്ടു കല്പലക ചെത്തിക്കൊൾക; എന്നാൽ നീ പൊട്ടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞ മുമ്പിലത്തെ പലകയിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന വചനങ്ങളെ ഞാൻ ആ പലകയിൽ എഴുതും.
2 നീ രാവിലേ ഒരുങ്ങി രാവിലേ തന്നേ സീനായിപർവ്വതത്തിൽ കയറി; പർവ്വതത്തിന്റെ മുകളിൽ എന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽ വരേണം.
3 നിന്നോടു കൂടെ ആരും കയറരുതു. പർവ്വതത്തിലെങ്ങും ആരെയും കാണരുതു. പർവ്വതത്തിൻ അരികെ ആടുകളോ കന്നുകാലികളോ മേയുകയും അരുതു.
4 അങ്ങനെ മോശെ മുമ്പിലത്തേവ പോലെ രണ്ടു കല്പലക ചെത്തി, അതികാലത്തു എഴുന്നേറ്റു യഹോവ തന്നോടു കല്പിച്ചതുപോല സീനായിപർവ്വതത്തിൽ കയറി; കാല്പലക രണ്ടും കയ്യിൽ എടുത്തുകൊണ്ടു പോയി:
5 അപ്പോൾ യഹോവ മേഘത്തിൽ ഇറങ്ങി അവിടെ അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ നിന്നു യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തെ ഘോഷിച്ചു.
6 യഹോവ അവന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ കടന്നു ഘോഷിച്ചതു എന്തെന്നാൽ: യഹോവ, യഹോവയായ ദൈവം, കരുണയും കൃപയുമുള്ളവൻ; ദീർഘക്ഷമയും മഹാദയയും വിശ്വസ്തതയുമുള്ളവൻ.
7 ആയിരം ആയിരത്തിന്നു ദയ പാലിക്കുന്നവൻ; അകൃത്യവും അതിക്രമവും പാപവും ക്ഷമിക്കുന്നവൻ; കുറ്റമുള്ളവനെ വെറുതെ വിടാതെ പിതാക്കന്മാരുടെ അകൃത്യം മക്കളുടെമേലും മക്കളുടെ മക്കളുടെമേലും മൂന്നാമത്തെയും നാലാമത്തെയും തലമുറയോളം സന്ദർശിക്കുന്നവൻ.
8 എന്നാറെ മോശെ ബദ്ധപ്പെട്ടു സാഷ്ടാംഗം വീണു നമസ്കരിച്ചു:
9 കർത്താവേ, നിനക്കു എന്നോടു കൃപയുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ കർത്താവു ഞങ്ങളുടെ മദ്ധ്യേ നടക്കേണമേ. ഇതു ദുശ്ശാഠ്യമുള്ള ജനം തന്നേ എങ്കിലും ഞങ്ങളുടെ അകൃത്യവും പാപവും ക്ഷമിച്ചു ഞങ്ങളെ നിന്റെ അവകാശമാക്കേണമേ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
10 അതിന്നു അവൻ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതെന്തെന്നാൽ: ഞാൻ ഒരു നിയമം ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നു. ഭൂമിയിലെങ്ങും ഒരു ജാതിയിലും സംഭവിച്ചിട്ടില്ലാത്ത അത്ഭുതങ്ങൾ നിന്റെ സർവ്വജനത്തിന്നും മുമ്പാകെ ഞാൻ ചെയ്യും; നീ സഹവാസം ചെയ്തുപോരുന്ന ജനം ഒക്കെയും യഹോവയുടെ പ്രവൃത്തിയെ കാണും; ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു ചെയ്‍വാനിരിക്കുന്നതു ഭയങ്കരമായുള്ളതു തന്നേ.
11 ഇന്നു ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു കല്പിക്കുന്നതു സൂക്ഷിച്ചുകൊൾക; അമോർയ്യൻ, കനാന്യൻ, ഹിത്യൻ, പെരിസ്യൻ, ഹിവ്യൻ, യെബൂസ്യൻ എന്നിവരെ ഞാൻ നിന്റെ മുമ്പിൽ നിന്നു ഓടിച്ചുകളയും.
12 നീ ചെല്ലുന്ന ദേശത്തിലെ നിവാസികളോടു നീ ഒരു ഉടമ്പടി ചെയ്യാതിരിപ്പാൻ കരുതിക്കൊൾക; അല്ലാഞ്ഞാൽ അതു നിന്റെ മദ്ധ്യേ ഒരു കണിയായിരിക്കും.
13 നിങ്ങൾ അവരുടെ ബലി പീഠങ്ങളെ ഇടിച്ചു വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളെ തകർത്തു അശേരപ്രതിഷ്ഠകളെ വെട്ടിക്കളയേണം.
14 അന്യദൈവത്തെ നമസ്കരിക്കരുതു; യഹോവയുടെ നാമം തീക്ഷ്ണൻ എന്നാകുന്നു; അവൻ തീക്ഷ്ണതയുള്ള ദൈവം തന്നേ.
15 ആ ദേശത്തിലെ നിവാസികളോടു ഉടമ്പടി ചെയ്കയും അവരുടെ ദേവന്മാരോടു അവർ പരസംഗം ചെയ്തു അവരുടെ ദേവന്മാർക്കു ബലി കഴിക്കുമ്പോൾ നിന്നെ വിളിക്കയും നീ ചെന്നു അവരുടെ ബലികൾ തിന്നുകയും
16 അവരുടെ പുത്രിമാരിൽനിന്നു നിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാർക്കു ഭാര്യമാരെ എടുക്കയും അവരുടെ പുത്രിമാർ തങ്ങളുടെ ദേവന്മാരോടു പരസംഗം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ നിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരെക്കൊണ്ടു അവരുടെ ദേവന്മാരോടു പരസംഗം ചെയ്യിക്കയും ചെയ്‍വാൻ ഇടവരരുതു.
17 ദേവന്മാരെ വാർത്തുണ്ടാക്കരുതു.
18 പുളിപ്പില്ലാത്ത അപ്പത്തിന്റെ ഉത്സവം നീ ആചരിക്കേണം. ഞാൻ നിന്നോടു കല്പിച്ചതുപോലെ ആബീബ് മാസത്തിൽ നിശ്ചയിച്ച സമയത്തു ഏഴു ദിവസം പുളിപ്പില്ലാത്ത അപ്പം തിന്നേണം; ആബീബ് മാസത്തിലല്ലോ നീ മിസ്രയീമിൽനിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടുപോന്നതു.
19 ആദ്യം ജനിക്കുന്നതൊക്കെയും നിന്റെ ആടുകളുടെയും കന്നുകാലികളുടെയും കൂട്ടത്തിൽ കടിഞ്ഞൂലായ ആൺഒക്കെയും എനിക്കുള്ളതു ആകുന്നു.
20 എന്നാൽ കഴുതയുടെ കടിഞ്ഞൂലിനെ ആട്ടിൻ കുട്ടിയെക്കൊണ്ടു വീണ്ടുകൊള്ളേണം. വീണ്ടുകൊള്ളുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ അതിന്റെ കഴുത്തു ഒടിച്ചുകളയേണം. നിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരിൽ ആദ്യജാതനെ ഒക്കെയും വീണ്ടുകൊള്ളേണം. വെറുങ്കയ്യോടെ നിങ്ങൾ എന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ വരരുതു.
21 ആറു ദിവസം വേല ചെയ്യേണം; ഏഴാം ദിവസം സ്വസ്ഥമായിരിക്കേണം; വിതകാലമോ കൊയ്ത്തുകാലമോ ആയാലും സ്വസ്ഥമായിരിക്കേണം.
22 കോതമ്പുകെയ്ത്തിലെ ആദ്യഫലോത്സവമായ വാരോത്സവവും ആണ്ടറുതിയിൽ കായ്കനിപ്പെരുനാളും നീ ആചരിക്കേണം.
23 സംവത്സരത്തിൽ മൂന്നു പ്രാവശ്യം പുരുഷന്മാരൊക്കയും യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായി യഹോവയായ കർത്താവിന്റെ മുമ്പാകെ വരേണം.
24 ഞാൻ ജാതികളെ നിന്റെ മുമ്പിൽനിന്നു ഓടിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞു നിന്റെ അതൃത്തികളെ വിശാലമാക്കും; നീ സംവത്സരത്തിൽ മൂന്നു പ്രാവശ്യം നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ മുമ്പാകെ ചെല്ലുവാൻ കയറിപ്പോയിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഒരു മനുഷ്യനും നിന്റെ ദേശം മോഹിക്കയില്ല.
25 എന്റെ യാഗരക്തം പുളിപ്പുള്ള അപ്പത്തോടുകൂടെ അർപ്പിക്കരുതു. പെസഹപെരുനാളിലെ യാഗം പ്രഭാതകാലംവരെ വെച്ചേക്കരുതു.
26 നിന്റെ നിലത്തിലെ ആദ്യവിളവിന്റെ ആദ്യഫലം നിന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിൽ കൊണ്ടുവരേണം. കോലാട്ടിൻ കുട്ടിയെ അതിന്റെ തള്ളയുടെ പാലിൽ പാകം ചെയ്യരുതു.
27 യഹോവ പിന്നെയും മോശെയോടു: ഈ വചനങ്ങളെ എഴുതിക്കൊൾക; ഈ വചനങ്ങൾ ആധാരമാക്കി ഞാൻ നിന്നോടും യിസ്രായേലിനോടും നിയമം ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു.
28 അവൻ അവിടെ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കാതെയും വെള്ളം കുടിക്കാതെയും നാല്പതു പകലും നാല്പതു രാവും യഹോവയോടു കൂടെ ആയിരുന്നു; അവൻ പത്തു കല്പനയായ നിയമത്തിന്റെ വചനങ്ങളെ പലകയിൽ എഴുതിക്കൊടുത്തു.
29 അവൻ തന്നോടു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതു നിമിത്തം തന്റെ മുഖത്തിന്റെ ത്വക്ക്ക് പ്രകാശിച്ചു എന്നു മോശെ സാക്ഷ്യത്തിന്റെ പലക രണ്ടും കയ്യിൽ പടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു സീനായിപർവ്വതത്തിൽനിന്നു ഇറങ്ങുമ്പോൾ അറിഞ്ഞില്ല.
30 അഹരോനും യിസ്രായേൽമക്കൾ എല്ലാവരും മോശെയെ നോക്കിയപ്പോൾ അവന്റെ മുഖത്തിന്റെ ത്വക്ക്ക് പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു; അതു കൊണ്ടു അവർ അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ചെല്ലുവാൻ ഭയപ്പെട്ടു.
31 മോശെ അവരെ വിളിച്ചു; അപ്പോൾ അഹരോനും സഭയിലെ പ്രമാണികൾ ഒക്കെയും അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ മടങ്ങി വന്നു; മോശെ അവരോടു സംസാരിചു.
32 അതിന്റെ ശേഷം യിസ്രായേൽമക്കൾ ഒക്കെയും അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ചെന്നു. സീനായി പർവ്വതത്തിൽവെച്ചു യഹോവ തന്നോടു അരുളിച്ചെയ്തതൊക്കെയും അവൻ അവരോടു ആജ്ഞാപിച്ചു.
33 മോശെ അവരോടു സംസാരിച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ അവൻ തന്റെ മുഖത്തു ഒരു മൂടുപടം ഇട്ടു.
34 മോശെ യഹോവയോടു സംസാരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു അവന്റെ സന്നിധാനത്തിൽ കടക്കുമ്പോൾ പുറത്തു വരുവോളം മൂടുപടം നീക്കിയിരിക്കും; തന്നോടു കല്പിച്ചതു അവൻ പുറത്തുവന്നു യിസ്രയേൽമക്കളോടു പറയും.
35 യിസ്രായേൽമക്കൾ മോശെയുടെ മുഖത്തിന്റെ ത്വക്ക്ക് പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നതായി കണ്ടതുകൊണ്ടു മോശെ അവനോടു സംസാരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു അകത്തു കടക്കുവോളം മൂടുപടം പിന്നെയും തന്റെ മുഖത്തു ഇട്ടുകൊള്ളും.
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
2 Kings 25 in Tamil and English
1 તેના શાસનના નવમા વર્ષમાં, દશમાં મહિનાના, દશમા દિવસે બાબિલના રાજા નબૂખાદનેસ્સારે પોતાની આખી સેના સહિત આવીને યરૂશાલેમ પર હુમલો કર્યો, તેણે એ શહેરને ઘેરો ઘાલ્યો અને ચારે બાજુ ઘેરાના ઢાળીયા બાધ્યાં.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 એ પ્રમાણે સિદકિયા રાજાના અગિયારમા વર્ષ સુધી નગરને ઘેરો રહ્યો.
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 રાજયમાં ચોથા મહિનાના નવમા દિવશે દુકાળ એટલો સખત બની ગયો કે, ખાવા માટે કઇ ખોરાક બાકી ન રહ્યો. તે ચોથા મહિનાનો નવમો દિવસ હતો, નગરમાં અનાજની ભારે તંગી વર્તાતી હતી.
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 આખરે, નબૂખાદનેસ્સારના સૈન્યએ નગરના કોટમાં ગાબડું પાડયું અને તે રાત્રે તેમાંથી સિદકિયા અને તેના માણસો, બે દિવાલોની વચ્ચે આવેલા એક ગુપ્ત દરવાજામાંથી રાજાના બગીચાના માગેર્ શહેરમાં ચારે બાજુ બાબિલવાસીઓ હતાં તે છતાં પણ, રણ તરફ નાસી ગયા.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5 બાબિલના રાજાના સૈન્યે તેનો પીછો કર્યો અને તેને યરીખોના મેદાનમાં પકડી પાડયો, અને તેની સાથેના લોકો વિખેરાઈ ગયા અને તેને છોડી ગયા.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 બાબિલના સૈનિકોએ સિદકિયાને પકડીને તેમના રાજા નબૂખાદનેસ્સારની પાસે રિબ્લાહ લઈ ગયા. અને ત્યાં તેને સજા કરવામાં આવી.
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 તેની નજર આગળ તેના દીકરાઓને રહેંસી નાખવામાં આવ્યા અને ત્યાર પછી તેની આંખો ફોડી નાખી, સાંકળે બાંધી તેને બાબિલ લઈ જવામાં આવ્યો.
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 બાબિલના રાજા નબૂખાદનેસ્સારના શાસનના ઓગણીસમાં વર્ષમાં, પાંચમા મહિનાના સાતમા દિવસે, રાજાના અંગરક્ષકો, તેમનો સરદાર, નબૂઝારઅદાન અને તેના મંત્રીઓ યરૂશાલેમમાં પ્રવેશ્યા,
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 યહોવાના મંદિરને, રાજાના મહેલને અને શહેરનાં બધાં મકાનોને બાળી મૂક્યાં.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.
10 તેના લશ્કરે નગરની દીવાલો તોડી નાખી.
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 તેણે શહેરની બાકી રહેલી વસ્તીને, અને જેઓ બાબિલના રાજાના પક્ષમાં ચાલ્યા ગયા હતા તેમને રક્ષકોના નાયક નબૂઝારઅદાને દેશવટો દીધો.
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 અને ફકત વસ્તીના ગરીબમાં ગરીબ વર્ગને દ્રાક્ષની વાડીમાં અને ખેતરમાં મજૂરી કરવા માટે પાછળ રહેવા દીધા.
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 બાબિલવાસીઓએ યહોવાના મંદિરમાંના કાંસાના થાંભલા, પૈડાવાળી ઘોડીઓ અને કાંસાનો સમુદ્ર તે બધું તેમણે ભાંગી નાખ્યું અને કાંસુ બાબિલ લઈ ગયા.
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 વળી તેઓ યહોવાના મંદિરમાં વપરાંતા કાંસાના બધાં વાસણો, કૂંડાં, કુહાડીઓ, થાળીઓ, વાટકા અને બધી વસ્તુઓ પણ લઈ ગયા.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 સોનાચાંદીનાં પાત્રોને પણ કબજે કરીને તેઓ લઈ ગયા.
And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 કાંસાના બે સ્તંભો, સમૂદ્ર અને પૈડાવાળી ઘોડીઓનું વજન કરવું અશકય હતું કેમ કે તે ઘણા વજનદાર હતા. આ સર્વ વસ્તુઓ સુલેમાન રાજાએ યહોવાના મંદિરને માટે બનાવડાવી હતી.
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 એક સ્તંભની ઊંચાઈ અઢાર હાથ હતી, અને તેના પર કાંસાની મથોટી હતી અને તેની ઉંચાઈ ત્રણ હાથ હતી, તે એક ઢાંકણું હતું જે ગોળ ફરતું હતું અને દરવાજે લટકતું હતું મથાળા પર ચોગરદમ જાળી તથા દાડમો પાડેલાં હતાં, અને તે એક ગોળાકાર જેવું માળખું હતું. બીજો સ્તંભ પણ જાળીદાર નકશી પાડેલી હતી અને તેના જેવો જ હતો.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 રક્ષકોના નાયકે મુખ્ય યાજક સરાયાને, તેની હાથ નીચેના યાજક સફાન્યાને અને ત્રણ દ્વારપાળોને કેદ પકડયા.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19 ત્યાર પછી તેણે નગરમાંથી લશ્કરના વડા અમલદારને, નગરમાંથી મળી આવેલા રાજાના પાંચ સલાહકારોને, સેનાપતિના લશ્કરની ભરતી અને તાલીમનું કામ સંભાળનાર મંત્રીને, તેમજ પ્રદેશના 60 સામાન્ય લોકોને, જેઓ નગર માંથી મળ્યા હતાં તેમને સાથે લીધા.
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 અને એ બધાને તે હમાથના પ્રદેશમાં આવેલા રિબ્લાહમાં બાબિલના રાજા આગળ લઈ ગયા.
And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 અને ત્યાં બાબિલના રાજાએ તેમને ફટકા મરાવીને મારી નંખાવ્યા. આમ યહૂદાવાસીઓને બંદીવાન બનાવીને, તેઓના દેશમાંથી લઈ જવામાં આવ્યા.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22 બાબિલના રાજા નબૂખાદનેસ્સારે જે લોકોને યહૂદાના પ્રદેશમાં રહેવા દીધા હતા, તેમના પર રાજય કરવાને તેણે શાફાનના પુત્ર અહીકામના પુત્ર ગદાલ્યાને યહૂદામાં શાસન કર્તા તરીકે નીમ્યો.
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23 જયારે લશ્કરી ટુકડીઓના સેનાપતિઓએ અને તેમના માણસોએ સાંભળ્યું કે બાબિલના રાજાએ ગદાલ્યાને શાસન કર્તા નીમ્યો છે, ત્યારે તેઓ તેને મળવા મિસ્પાહ ગયા, એટલે નથાન્યાનો પુત્ર ઇશ્માએલ, કારેઆહનો પુત્ર યોહાનાન, નટોફાથી તાન્હુમેથનો પુત્ર સરાયા, માઅખાથીનો પુત્ર યાઅઝાન્યા, અને તેઓના માણસો ગદાલ્યાને મળ્યા.
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 તેમની અને તેમના માણસોની સામે ગદાલ્યાએ વચન આપીને કહ્યું કે, “બાબિલવાસીઓથી ડરશો નહિ, દેશમાં શાંતિથી રહો અને બાબિલના રાજાનું પ્રભુત્વ સ્વીકારો, એટલે તે તમારી પ્રત્યે સારો રહેશે.”
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25 સાતમા મહિનામાં રાજવંશના એલીશામાનો અને નથાન્યાના પુત્ર ઇશ્માએલે દસ માણસો સાથે ગદાલ્યા પાસે આવીને તેમજ મિસ્પાહમાં તેની સાથે રહેતા યહૂદાવાસીઓને અને બાબિલવાસીઓને મારી નાખ્યા.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 ત્યારબાદ નાનાંમોટાં બધાંજ લોકો ઇસ્રાએલીઓ તથા લશ્કરના અમલદારો બાબિલવાસીઓની બીકથી મિસર ભાગી ગયા.
