2 Samuel 16
1 ਸੀਬਾ ਦਾ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਣਾ ਦਾਊਦ ਪਹਾੜ ਦੀ ਚੋਟੀ ਜੈਤੂਨ ਦੇ ਪਹਾੜ ਤੋਂ ਅਗਾਂਹ ਵੱਧਿਆ ਤਾਂ ਮਫ਼ੀਬੋਸ਼ਥ ਦਾ ਨੌਕਰ ਸੀਬਾ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਿਆ। ਉਸ ਕੋਲ ਦੋ ਖੋਤੇ ਕੱਸੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਉੱਪਰ 200 ਰੋਟੀਆਂ, 100 ਗੁੱਛਾ ਦਾਖਾਂ ਦਾ, 100 ਗਰਮੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਮੌਸਮੀ ਫ਼ਲ ਅਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਮਸ਼ਕ ਮੈਅ ਦੀ ਸੀ।
2 ਦਾਊਦ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੇ ਸੀਬਾ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਸਭ ਵਸਤਾਂ ਕਿਸ ਲਈ ਹਨ?” ਸੀਬਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਇਹ ਖੋਤੇ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਦੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਨ ਲਈ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਰੋਟੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ਲ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਅਫ਼ਸਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਖਾਣ ਲਈ ਅਤੇ ਉਜਾੜ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਂਦਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਰਾਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰੀ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰੇ ਉਸ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਮੈਅ ਦੀ ਮਸ਼ਕ ਹੈ।”
3 ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੇ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ, “ਮਫ਼ੀਬੋਸ਼ਥ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਹੈ?” ਸੀਬਾ ਨੇ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਮਫ਼ੀਬੋਸ਼ਥ ਤਾਂ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਠਹਿਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸਰਾਏਲੀ ਅੱਜ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਦਾ ਰਾਜ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮੋੜ ਦੇਣਗੇ।”
4 ਤਦ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੇ ਸੀਬਾ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਵਾਪਸ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਜੋ ਮਫ਼ੀਬੋਸ਼ਥ ਨਾਲ ਸਬੰਧਿਤ ਹੈ।” ਸੀਬਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਸਿਰ ਨਿਵਾਉਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਆਸ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਦੀ ਨਿਗਾਹ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਯੋਗ ਹੋਵਾਂ।”
5 ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪਦਾ ਦਾਊਦ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਤਦ ਬਹੁਰੀਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਇਆ। ਉੱਥੇ ਸ਼ਾਊਲ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦੀ ਕੁੱਲ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਗੇਰਾ ਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਨਿਕਲਿਆ। ਉਹ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਦੇ ਬੋਲ ਬੋਲਦਾ ਬਾਹਰ ਨਿਕਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਇੰਝ ਬਾਰ-ਬਾਰ ਆਖਦਾ ਗਿਆ।
6 ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਨੇ ਦਾਊਦ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਟਹਿਲੂਆਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਪਥਰਾਵ ਕਰਨਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਪਰ ਉਸ ਵਕਤ ਸੂਰਮੇ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਦਾਊਦ ਦੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਇਕੱਠੇ ਹੋ ਗਏ।
7 ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਆਖਣ ਲੱਗਾ, “ਨਿਕਲ ਆ, ਨਿਕਲ ਆ, ਤੂੰ ਖੂਨੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ! ਹੇ ਸ਼ਤਾਨ ਦੀ ਔਲਾਦ।
8 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਸਜ਼ਾ ਦੇ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਊਲ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦਾ ਖੂਨ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਊਲ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਚੁਰਾਕੇ ਖੁਦ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਬਣ ਬੈਠਾ, ਪਰ ਉਹੀ ਸਭ ਬੁਰਿਆਈਆਂ ਹੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਾਪਰ ਰਹੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਹੁਣ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਰਾਜ ਤੇਰੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਦੇ ਹੱਥ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਖੂਨੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹੈਂ।”
9 ਤਦ ਸਰੂਯਾਹ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਬੀਸ਼ਈ ਨੇ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਮੋਇਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਕੁਤਾ ਭਲਾ ਕਾਹਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਹਾਰਾਜ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪ ਦੇਵੇ? ਜੇਕਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਗਿਆ ਦੇਵੋਂ ਤਾਂ ਜਾਕੇ ਉਸਦਾ ਸਿਰ ਉਡਾ ਦੇਵਾਂ।”
10 ਪਰ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਨੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ, “ਸਰੂਯਾਹ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰੋ ਮੈਂ ਕੀ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ? ਅਵੱਸ਼ ਹੀ, ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪਣ ਲਈ ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ।”
11 ਦਾਊਦ ਨੇ ਵੀ ਅਬੀਸ਼ਈ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੇਵਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਵੇਖੋ! ਮੇਰਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ (ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ) ਮੈਨੂੰ ਮਾਰਨ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਤਾਂ ਫ਼ਿਰ ਬਿਨਯਾਮੀਨ ਦੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ-ਸਮੂਹ ਚੋ ਇਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ (ਸ਼ਿਮਈ) ਨੂੰ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਰਾਪ ਦੇਣ ਦਾ ਵੱਧੇਰੇ ਅਧਿਕਾਰ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣ ਦਿਓ ਅਤੇ ਸਰਾਪ ਦੇਣ ਦੇਵੋ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ।”
12 ਹੋ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਜੋ ਮੰਦੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਾਪਰ ਰਹੀਆਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖੇ। ਫ਼ੇਰ ਹੋ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਕਿ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਅੱਜ ਆਖੀ ਹਰ ਮੰਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਲਈ ਕੁਝ ਚੰਗਾ ਦੇਵੇ।
13 ਤਾਂ ਦਾਊਦ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਦਮੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਰਾਹ ਤੁਰੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਨ ਪਰ ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦਾਊਦ ਦਾ ਪਿੱਛਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ। ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਪਹਾੜੀ ਦੀ ਦੂਜੀ ਤਰਫ਼ ਸੜਕ ਦੇਰ ਦੂਜੇ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ ਤੁਰਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਾਊਦ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਦੇ ਬੋਲ ਬੋਲਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਉੱਪਰ ਧੂੜ-ਮਿੱਟੀ ਪਾਉਂਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਵੱਟੇ ਮਾਰਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ।
14 ਦਾਊਦ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਆਦਮੀ ਯਰਦਨ ਦਰਿਆ ਤੇ ਪੁੱਜੇ ਤੇ ਉਸ ਵਕਤ ਉਹ ਬੜੇ ਥੱਕੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉੱਥੇ ਰੁਕ ਕੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਬੋੜੀ ਦੇਰ ਅਰਾਮ ਕਰਕੇ ਥੋੜਾ ਸਾਹ ਲਿਆ।
15 ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਅਹੀਥੋਫ਼ਲ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਸਾਰੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਏ।
16 ਦਾਊਦ ਦਾ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਹੂਸ਼ਈ ਅਰਕੀ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਕੋਲ ਆਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਆਖਣ ਲੱਗਾ, “ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਜਿਉਂਦਾ ਰਹੇ! ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਜਿਉਂਦਾ ਰਹੇ!”
17 ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਭਲਾ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਦਾਊਦ ਉੱਤੇ ਕਿਰਪਾਲੂ ਕਿਉਂ ਨਹੀਂ? ਭਲਾ ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਮਿੱਤਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਕਿਉਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਗਿਆ?”
18 ਹੂਸ਼ਈ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਵੱਲ ਹਾਂ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਚੁਣਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚੁਣਿਆ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਰਹਾਂਗਾ।
19 ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਹੁਣ ਦਾਊਦ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਦੀ ਟਹਿਲ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ, ਤੇਰੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ।”
20 ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਨੇ ਅਹੀਥੋਫ਼ਲ ਤੋਂ ਸਲਾਹ ਮੰਗੀ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਨੇ ਅਹੀਥੋਫ਼ਲ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਦੱਸੋ ਕਿ ਹੁਣ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਕੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ?”
21 ਅਹੀਥੋਫ਼ਲ ਨੇ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਨੂੰ ਅਖਿਆ, “ਤੇਰੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਕੁਝ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਥੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਘਰ ਦੀ ਦੇਖ ਭਾਲ ਲਈ ਛੱਡ ਗਏ ਹਨ ਸੋ ਤੂੰ ਜਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਜਾਕੇ ਜਿਨਸੀ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਕਰ। ਤਦ ਸਾਰੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਇਹ ਸੁਨਣਗੇ ਕਿ ਤਹਾਡੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਦੀ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਬੜੀ ਨਫ਼ਰਤ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਹਨ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੱਥ ਤਕੜੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ।”
22 ਤਦ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਘਰ ਦੀ ਛੱਤ ਉੱਪਰ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਲਈ ਤੰਬੂ ਲਗਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਨੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਵੇਖਦਿਆਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਭੋਗ ਕੀਤਾ।
23 ਉਸ ਵਕਤ ਅਹੀਥੋਫ਼ਲ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਜੋ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਹ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਸੀ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਸੀ ਜੋ ਇਉਂ ਜਾਣੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਉਹ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਦੇ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਇਹ ਪਾਈ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਦਾਊਦ ਅਤੇ ਅਬਸ਼ਾਲੋਮ ਦੋਨਾਂ ਲਈ ਉਸਦੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਬੜੀ ਮਹੱਤਵਯੋਗ ਸੀ।
1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
8 The Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him.
12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
Judges 12 in Tamil and English
1 ఎఫ్రాయిమీయులు కూడుకొని ఉత్తరదిక్కునకు పోయినీవు అమ్మోనీయులతో యుద్ధము చేయ బోయి నప్పుడు నీతో వచ్చుటకు మమ్ము నేల పిలువ లేదు? నీవు కాపురమున్న నీ యింటిని అగ్నితో కాల్చివేయుదుమని యెఫ్తాతో చెప్పగా
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
2 యెఫ్తానాకును నా జనులకును అమ్మోనీయులతో గొప్ప కలహము కలిగిన ప్పుడు నేను మిమ్మును పిలిచితిని గాని మీరు వారి చేతులలోనుండి నన్ను రక్షింపలేదు. మీరు నన్ను రక్షింపకపోవుట నేను చూచి
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
3 నా ప్రాణమును అరచేతిలో ఉంచుకొని అమ్మోనీయు లతో యుద్ధము చేయపోతిని. అప్పుడు యెహోవా వారిని నా చేతి కప్పగించెను గనుక నాతో పోట్లాడుటకు మీరేల నేడు వచ్చితిరనెను.
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
4 అప్పుడు యెఫ్తా గిలాదువారి నందరిని పోగుచేసికొని ఎఫ్రాయిమీయులతో యుద్ధము చేయగా గిలాదువారు ఎఫ్రాయిమీయులను జయించిరి. ఏలయనగా వారుఎఫ్రాయిమీయులకును మనష్షీ యులకును మధ్యను గిలాదువారైన మీరు ఎఫ్రాయిమీ యులయెదుట నిలువక పారిపోయిన వారనిరి.
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
5 ఎఫ్రాయి మీయులతో యుద్ధముచేయుటకై గిలాదువారు యొర్దాను దాటు రేవులను పట్టుకొనగా పారిపోయిన ఎఫ్రాయిమీ యులలో ఎవడోనన్ను దాటనియ్యుడని చెప్పినప్పుడు గిలాదువారునీవు ఎఫ్రాయిమీయుడవా అని అతని నడి గిరి.
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6 అందుకతడునేను కాను అనినయెడల వారు అతని చూచిషిబ్బోలెతను శబ్దము పలుకుమనిరి. అతడు అట్లు పలుకనేరక సిబ్బోలెతని పలుకగా వారు అతని పట్టుకొని యొర్దానురేవులయొద్ద చంపిరి. ఆ కాలమున ఎఫ్రాయి మీయులలో నలువది రెండువేలమంది పడి పోయిరి.
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
7 యెఫ్తా ఆరు సంవత్సరములు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు న్యాయాధిపతియై యుండెను. గిలాదువాడైన యెఫ్తా చనిపోయి గిలాదు పట్టణములలో నొకదానియందు పాతిపెట్టబడెను.
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 అతని తరువాత బేత్లెహేమువాడైన ఇబ్సాను ఇశ్రా యేలీయులకు అధిపతియాయెను.
And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 అతనికి ముప్పదిమంది కుమారులును ముప్పదిమంది కుమార్తెలును ఉండిరి. అతడు ఆ కుమార్తెలను తన వంశమున చేరనివారికిచ్చి, తన వంశ మునకు చేరని ముప్పది మంది కన్యలను తన కుమారులకు పెండ్లి చేసెను. అతడు ఏడేండ్లు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు అధి పతిగా నుండెను.
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 జెబూలూనీయుడైన ఏలోను చనిపోయి జెబూలూను దేశమందలి అయ్యాలో నులో పాతిపెట్టబడెను.
And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.

And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14 అతనికి నలువదిమంది కుమారులును ముప్పదిమంది మనుమ లును ఉండిరి. వారు డెబ్బది గాడిదపిల్లల నెక్కి తిరుగు వారు. అతడు ఎనిమిదేండ్లు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు అధిపతిగా నుండెను.
And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
15 పిరాతోనీయుడైన హిల్లేలు కుమారుడగు అబ్దోను చనిపోయి ఎఫ్రాయిము దేశమందలి అమాలేకీ యుల మన్యము లోనున్న పిరాతోనులో పాతిపెట్ట బడెను.
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
