Zechariah 12
1 ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੇ ਦੁਆਲੇ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦਾ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਵਿਖੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਸ਼ੋਕ ਸਮਾਚਾਰ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਸਿਰਜੇ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਆਤਮਾ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਇਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਆਖੀਆਂ।
2 “ਵੇਖ, ਮੈਂ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਦੇ ਰਾਜਾਂ ਲਈ ਜ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੇ ਪਿਆਲੇ ਵਾਂਗ ਬਣਾਵਾਂਗਾ। ਕੌਮਾਂ ਆਉਣਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਤੇ ਹਮਲਾ ਕਰਨਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਦਾ ਸਾਰਾ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਇਹ ਫਾਹੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ।
3 ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਭਾਰੀ ਚੱਟਾਨ ਵਾਂਗ ਬਣਾਵਾਂਗਾ-ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਵੀ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਲਿਜਾਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰੇਗਾ ਖੁਦ ਹੀ ਜ਼ਖਮੀ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਸਾਰੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਚੁੱਕਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਫ਼ੱਟੜ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣਗੇ। ਪਰ ਧਰਤੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਲਢ਼ਨ ਲਈ ਇਕੱਠੀਆਂ ਹੋਣਗੀਆਂ।
4 ਪਰ ਉਸ ਵਕਤ, ਮੈਂ ਹਰ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਦੇ ਘੋੜੇ ਨੂੰ ਘਬਰਾਹਟ ਨਾਲ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਸਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਖਤਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਮਾਰਾਂਗਾ। ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਘੋੜਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਕਰ ਦੇਵਾਂਗਾ ਪਰ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਖੁਲ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਰਹਿਣਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਤੇ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਰੱਖਾਂਗਾ।
5 ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੇ ਆਗੂ ਦੂਜਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਆਖਕੇ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਦੇਣਗੇ, ‘ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਸਰਬ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਮਾਨ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਤਾਕਤ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।’
6 ਉਸ ਵਕਤ, ਮੈਂ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦੇ ਆਗੂਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਜੰਗਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਲਦੀ ਅੱਗ ਵਾਂਗ ਠਹਿਰਾਵਾਂਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਅੱਗ ਤੂੜੀ ਨੂੰ ਸਾੜਦੀ ਹੈ ਤਬਾਹ ਕਰ ਦੇਣਗੇ। ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੁਆਲੇ ਦੇ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਖਤਮ ਕਰ ਦੇਣਗੇ। ਅਤੇ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ, ਲੋਕ ਚੈਨ ਨਾਲ ਬੈਠ ਕੇ ਸੁੱਖ ਦਾ ਸਾਹ ਲੈਣਗੇ।”
7 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੀ ਕੌਮ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਏਗਾ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਢੀਁਗਾਂ ਮਾਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾਕਾਮਯਾਬ ਰਹਿਣਗੇ। ਦਾਊਦ ਦਾ ਘਰਾਣਾ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੱਸਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਇਹ ਫ਼ੜਾਂ ਨਾ ਮਾਰ ਸੱਕਣਗੇ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਚੰਗੇ ਹਨ।
8 ਪਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਵੇਗਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਆਦਮੀ ਵੀ ਦਾਊਦ ਵਾਂਗ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਦਾਊਦ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਵਾਂਗ ਹੋਣਗੇ ਉਹ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਦੂਤ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਅਗਵਾਹੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
9 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ, “ਉਸ ਵਕਤ, ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਯੁੱਧ ਕਰਨਗੀਆਂ, ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਬਾਹ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ।
10 ਮੈਂ ਦਾਊਦ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣਿਆਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਅਤੇ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਅਤੇ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਦਾ ਆਤਮਾ ਵਰਸਾਵਾਂਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਵੱਲ ਵੇਖਣਗੇ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਵਿਂਨ੍ਹਿਆ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਬੜੇ ਦੁੱਖੀ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਉਹ ਇੰਨੇ ਦੁੱਖੀ ਹੋਣਗੇ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਆਪਣੇ ਇੱਕ ਲੌਤੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਤੇ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਵੈਣ ਪਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਜਾਂ ਉਹ ਇੰਨੇ ਦੁੱਖੀ ਹੋਣਗੇ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਹਿਲੋਠੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਤੇ।
11 ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਹਾਂ ਸ਼ੋਕ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਰੋਣ-ਪਿੱਟਣ ਦਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ। ਇਹ ਉਹੋ ਜਿਹਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਮਗਿੱਦੋ ਦੀ ਵਾਦੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਦਦ-ਰਮੋਨ ਦੇ ਸੋਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ। ਜਿਵੇਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਤੇ ਕੀਰਨੇ ਪਾਏ ਸਨ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੀ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਤੇ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
12 ਹਰੇਕ ਘਰਾਣਾ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਿੱਟੇਗਾ। ਦਾਊਦ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੀਰਨੇ ਪਾਉਣਗੀਆਂ। ਨਾਥਾਨ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦਾ ਟੱਬਰ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੋਣਗੇ-ਪਿੱਟਣਗੇ।
13 ਲੇਵੀ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਦਾ ਟੱਬਰ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦਾ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੋਣ-ਪਿੱਟਣਗੇ।
14 ਹੋਰ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ-ਸਮੂਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਹੀ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ ਕਿ ਹਰ ਆਦਮੀ ਅਤੇ ਔਰਤ ਕੀਰਨੇ।”
1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
1 Samuel 27 in Tamil and English
1 દાઉદે પોતાના મનમાં વિચાર કર્યો, “કોઈ દિવસ શાઉલ મને માંરી નાખશે, એટલે હું પલિસ્તીઓના પ્રદેશમાં નાસી જાઉં એ જ ઉત્તમ છે. તો શાઉલ માંરી આશા છોડી દેશે; અને આખા ઇસ્રાએલમાં માંરી શોધ કરવાનું માંડી વાળશે અને હું સુરક્ષિત રહી શકીશ.”
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 આથી દાઉદ અને તેના 600 માંણસો ઊપડયા અને ગાથના રાજા માંઓખના પુત્ર આખીશ પાસે ચાલ્યા ગયા.
And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 દાઉદ અને તેના માંણસો પોતપોતાનાં કુટુંબોની સાથે આખીશની પાસે ગાથમાં સ્થાયી થયા. દાઉદની સાથે તેની બે પત્નીઓ હતી: યિઝએલી અહીનોઆમ તથા નાબાલની વિધવા કામેર્લની અબીગાઈલ,
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
4 જયારે શાઉલને ખબર પડી કે દાઉદ ગાથમાં નાસી ગયો છે, ત્યારે તેણે તેને શોધવાનું છોડી દીધું.
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 દાઉદે આખીશને કહ્યું, “તમે જો માંરાથી પ્રસન્ન હોવ તો, મને ગ્રામ પ્રદેશના એકાદ નગરમાં એક જગ્યા આપો. હું તો માંત્ર એક સેવક છું તેથી માંરે આપ નામદાર સાથે પાટનગરમાં શા માંટે રહેવું જોઈએ?”
And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 આથી તે દિવસે આખીશે તેને સિકલાગ આપ્યું; તેથી સિકલાગ આજ સુધી યહૂદાના રાજાની મિલકત છે.
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 સોળ મહિના સુધી દાઉદ પલિસ્તીઓના હાથમાં રહ્યો.
And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 દાઉદ અને તેના માંણસો ગશૂરીઓ, ગિઝીર્ઓ, અને અમાંલેકીઓના પ્રદેશમાં ધાડ પાડવા નીકળી પડતા. એ લોકો જૂના જમાંનાથી શૂર અને મિસર સુધીના પ્રદેશમાં વસતા હતા.
And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 દાઉદ કોઈ દેશ પર હુમલો કરતો ત્યારે ત્યાં સ્ત્રી કે પુરુષ કોઈને જીવતા જવા દેતો નહિ; ઘેટાં, બળદો, ગધેડાં, ઊંટ અને વસ્ત્રો સુદ્ધાં હરી લેતો અને પાછો આખીશ પાસે આવતો.
And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
10 આખીશ પૂછતો કે, “આજે તમે કયાં હુમલો કરવા જાવ છો?” અને દાઉદ કહેતો, “યહૂદાના દક્ષિણ પ્રદેશમાં,” અથવા “યરાહમએલીઓના દક્ષિણમાંના પ્રદેશમાં.” અથવા “કેનીઓના દક્ષિણમાંના પ્રદેશમાં.”
And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
11 દાઉદ કદી કોઈ સ્ત્રીને કે પુરુષને જીવતાં ગાથ લાવતો નહિ, રખેને તેઓ દાઉદ અને તેનાં માંણસોની વિરુદ્ધ કહે કે, “દાઉદે આમ કર્યુ છે.”દાઉદ પલિસ્તીઓના પ્રદેશમાં રહ્યો; તે બધો સમય આ પ્રમાંણે જ કરતો.
And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
12 આખીશને દાઉદ ઉપર વિશ્વાસ હતો, કારણ, તે એમ ધારતો કે, “તે એના લોકો ઇસ્રાએલમાં એવો અકારો થઈ પડયો છે કે, તે હંમેશા માંરો દાસ થઈને રહેશે.”
And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
