౨తెకోవ పట్టణం నుండి ఒక తెలివిగల స్త్రీని పిలిపించాడు. ఆమెతో “చాలాకాలం నుండి ఏడుస్తూ ఉన్నట్టు నటించు, విలాప దుస్తులు వేసుకో. నూనె రాసుకోకుండా ఎంతోకాలంగా విచారంగా ఉన్నట్టు నటిస్తూ
౩నీవు రాజు దగ్గరికి వెళ్ళి నేను చెప్పిన విధంగా రాజును వేడుకో” అని చెప్పాడు.
4 ၄ ထိုတေကော မြို့သူမိန်းမ သည် အထံ တော်သို့ ဝင်၍ မြေ ပေါ် မှာ ပြပ်ဝပ် ရှိခိုး လျက် ၊ အရှင်မင်းကြီး ၊ ကယ်မ သနားတော်မူပါဟု လျှောက် လေ၏။
౪అప్పుడు ఆ తెకోవ స్త్రీ రాజు దగ్గరికి వచ్చింది. రాజుకు సాగిలపడి సమస్కారం చేసి “రాజా, నన్ను కాపాడు” అంది.

౫రాజు “నీకేం ఇబ్బంది కలిగింది?” అని అడిగాడు. ఆమె “నా భర్త చనిపోయాడు. విధవరాలిని.
6 ၆ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မ၌ သား နှစ် ယောက်ရှိပါ၏။ ထိုသားနှစ် ယောက်တို့သည် ခိုက်ရန် ပြုကြပါ၏။ ဖျန်ဖြေ သောသူမ ရှိသောကြောင့် တယောက် သည် တယောက် ကို သေ သည်တိုင်အောင်လုပ်ကြံ ပါ၏။
౬నీ దాసిని, నాకు ఇద్దరు కొడుకులు ఉన్నారు. వారు పొలంలో వాదులాడుకుని కొట్టుకున్నారు. వారిని విడదీసేవారు ఎవ్వరూ లేకపోవడంతో వారిలో ఒకడు రెండవవాణ్ణి కొట్టి చంపాడు.
7 ၇ ယခု မှာ အဆွေအမျိုး အပေါင်း တို့သည် ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မတဘက် ၌ထ ကြ၍ အစ်ကို ကို သတ် သောသူကိုသေစားသေစေ ခြင်းငှါ အပ် ရမည်။ အမွေခံ ကိုလည်း ငါတို့ပယ်ရှင်း မည်ဟုဆို ကြပါ၏။ ထိုသို့ပြုလျှင်၊ ကျွန်တော်မ ၌ ကျန်ကြွင်း သေးသော မီးခဲ ကို သူတို့သည် သတ် ကြပါလိမ့်မည်။ ကျွန်တော်မ လင် ၏အမည် ကို၎င်း ၊ အကျန် အကြွင်းကို၎င်း၊ မြေကြီး ပေါ် က သုတ်သင်ပယ်ရှင်းကြပါလိမ့်မည်ဟု လျှောက် လေသော်၊
౭నా రక్త సంబంధులందరూ నీ దాసిని నామీదికి వచ్చి, ‘తన సోదరుణ్ణి చంపినవాణ్ణి అప్పగించు. వాడు తన సోదరుని ప్రాణం తీసినందుకు మేము వాణ్ణి చంపి వాడికి హక్కు లేకుండా చేస్తాము’ అంటున్నారు. ఈ విధంగా వారు నా భర్త పేరట భూమిపై ఉన్న హక్కును, కుటుంబ వారసత్వాన్ని లేకుండా చేయబోతున్నారు” అని రాజుతో చెప్పింది.
౮అప్పుడు రాజు “నువ్వు నీ ఇంటికి వెళ్ళు. నీ గురించి ఆజ్ఞ జారీ చేస్తాను” అని చెప్పాడు.
9 ၉ တေကော မြို့သူမိန်းမ ကလည်း ၊ အိုအရှင်မင်းကြီး ၊ ကျွန်တော်မ နှင့် ကျွန်တော်မ အဆွေအမျိုး ၌ အပြစ် ရောက်ပါစေ။ ရှင်ဘုရင် နှင့် ရာဇ ပလ္လင်တော်သည် အပြစ် လွတ်ပါစေဟုလျှောက် လျှင်၊
౯అప్పుడు ఆ తెకోవ స్త్రీ “నా యజమానివైన రాజా, ఈ విషయంలో రాజుకు, రాజు సింహాసనానికి ఎలాంటి దోషం తగలకూడదు, అది నామీదా, నా కుటుంబం మీదా ఉండుగాక” అని రాజుతో అన్నది. అప్పుడు
10 ၁၀ ရှင် ဘုရင်က၊ သင် ၌ အပြစ် တင်သောသူကို ငါ့ ထံသို့ ခေါ် ခဲ့လော့။ နောက် တဖန်သင့် ကို မ နှောင့်ရှက် ရဟု မိန့် တော်မူသော်၊
౧౦రాజు “ఎవడైనా ఈ విషయంలో నీకేమైనా ఇబ్బంది కలిగిస్తే వాణ్ణి నా దగ్గరికి తీసుకురా. ఇక వాడు నీకు అడ్డు రాడు” అని ఆమెతో చెప్పాడు.
11 ၁၁ မိန်းမက၊ သေစားသေစေ သောသူတို့သည် ကျွန်တော်မ ၏သား ကိုသတ် မည်ဟု စိုးရိမ်ပါသည်ဖြစ်၍ ၊ သူတို့သည်အထူးသဖြင့်မ ဖျက်ဆီး စေခြင်းငှါအရှင်မင်းကြီးသည် ကိုယ်တော် ၏ ဘုရား သခင်ထာဝရဘုရား ကို အောက်မေ့ တော်မူပါဟု လျှောက် ပြန်သော် ၊ ရှင်ဘုရင်က၊ ထာဝရဘုရား အသက် ရှင်တော်မူသည်အတိုင်း ၊ သင့် သား ၏ဆံပင် တပင်မျှ မြေ ပေါ်သို့ မ ကျ ရဟု မိန့် တော်မူ၏”
౧౧అప్పుడు ఆమె “హత్యకు ప్రతిగా హత్య చేసేవాడు నా కుమారుడికి ఏ హానీ తలపెట్టకుండా ఉండేలా రాజవైన నువ్వు నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవాను ప్రార్థించు” అని మనవి చేసింది. అప్పుడు రాజు “యెహోవా మీద ఒట్టు, నీ కొడుకు తలవెంట్రుకల్లో ఒక్కటి కూడా నేలపై పడదు” అని చెప్పాడు.
12 ၁၂ တဖန် မိန်းမ ကလည်း၊ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မသည် အရှင် မင်းကြီး အား စကား တခွန်းလျှောက် ရသောအခွင့် ကိုပေး တော်မူပါဟု တောင်းပန် လျှင် ၊ လျှောက် လော့ဟု မိန့် တော်မူ၏”
౧౨అప్పుడు ఆ స్త్రీ “నా యజమానివైన నీతో ఇంకొక మాట చెప్పుకోడానికి నీ దాసిని, నాకు దయచేసి అనుమతి ఇవ్వండి” అంది. రాజు “ఏమిటో చెప్పు” అన్నప్పుడు.
13 ၁၃ မိန်းမ ကလည်း ၊ သို့ဖြစ်လျှင် ကိုယ်တော်သည် ဘုရား သခင်၏ လူ တို့တစ်ဘက် ၌ အဘယ်ကြောင့် ကြံစည် တော်မူသနည်း။ အရှင်မင်းကြီး နှင်ထုတ် သောသူကို တဖန်ခေါ် တော်မ မူသဖြင့်၊ ကိုယ်ကို အပြစ်တင်၍ စီရင် တော်မူပါပြီတကား။
౧౩ఆ స్త్రీ “రాజు తాను చెప్పిన మాట ప్రకారం తన సొంతమనిషినే తిరిగి రానివ్వకుండా దోషం చేసిన వాడవుతున్నాడు. దేవుని ప్రజలైన వారికి వ్యతిరేకంగా నువ్వు ఎందుకు ఇలా చేస్తున్నావు?
14 ၁၄ ငါတို့သည် သေ အံ့သောသူဖြစ် ကြ၏။ မြေ ပေါ် မှာသွန် ပြီးလျှင်နောက်တဖန်ကျုံး ၍ မ ယူနိုင်သောရေ နှင့် တူ ကြပါ၏။ ဘုရား သခင်သည် လူမျက်နှာကို မ ထောက် သော်လည်း ၊ နှင်ထုတ် ခြင်းကိုခံရသောသူသည် အစဉ် နှင်ထုတ် ခြင်းကိုခံ ၍ မ နေရမည်အကြောင်း ကြံစည် တော်မူ၏။
౧౪మనమంతా చనిపోతాం, మనం నేలపై ఒలికిపోయి తిరిగి ఎత్తలేని నీళ్లలాగా ఉన్నాం. దేవుడు ప్రాణాలు తీయడు. వెళ్ళగొట్టిన వారు తనకు దూరంగా కాకుండా ఉండేలా ఆయన మార్గం చూపుతాడు.
15 ၁၅ သို့ဖြစ်၍ ကျွန်တော်မသည် လာ ၍ဤ အမှု ကို အရှင် မင်းကြီး အား လျှောက် ရသည်အကြောင်း မှာ၊ ကျွန်တော်မ ကြောက် အောင် လူ များတို့သည်ပြုကြပါ၏။ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မကလည်း ၊ ရှင်ဘုရင် ကို ငါလျှောက် မည်။ ရှင် ဘုရင်သည် ငါတောင်းပန်သည်အတိုင်း ပြု ကောင်း ပြုတော်မူမည်။
౧౫మావాళ్ళు నన్ను భయపెట్టారు కాబట్టి నేను దీన్ని గురించి నా ఏలికవైన నీతో మాట్లాడాలని వచ్చాను. రాజు తన దాసిని, నా విన్నపం ఆలకించి,
16 ၁၆ ငါ နှင့် ငါ့ သား ကိုဘုရား သခင်၏ အမွေ တော်မြေပေါ်က သုတ်သင်ပယ်ရှင်း သောသူ ၏လက် မှ ငါ့ကို နှုတ် အံ့သောငှါ နားထောင် တော်မူလိမ့်မည်ဟု ဆို ပါ၏။
౧౬దేవుని స్వాస్థ్యం అనుభవించకుండా నన్నూ, నా కొడుకునీ అంతం చేయాలని చూసేవారి చేతిలో నుండి నన్ను కాపాడతాడని అనుకొన్నాను.
17 ၁၇ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မကလည်း ၊ ငါ့ သခင် အရှင်မင်းကြီး ၏ အမိန့် တော်ကြောင့် ချမ်းသာ ရ မည်။ ဘုရား သခင်၏ကောင်းကင် တမန်ကဲ့သို့ ငါ့ သခင် အရှင် မင်းကြီးသည် ကောင်း မကောင်း ကို ပိုင်းခြား ၍ သိတော်မူ၏ဟု အောက်မေ့ပါ၏။ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ ဘုရား သခင်ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ကိုယ်တော် နှင့်အတူ ရှိ တော်မူလိမ့်မည်ဟု လျှောက် လေ၏။
౧౭నా ఏలికవైన నువ్వు చెప్పిన మాట నీ దాసినైన నాకు సమాధానకరంగా ఉంటుందని భావిస్తున్నాను. ఏలినవాడవైన నీకు నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా తోడుగా ఉన్నాడు కనుక నువ్వు దేవదూత లాగా మంచి చెడులను వివేచించగలవు” అంది.
18 ၁၈ ထိုအခါ ရှင် ဘုရင်က၊ ငါ မေးမြန်း သည်အမှု ကို မ ထိမ် မဝှက်ပါနှင့် ဟုအမိန့် ရှိသော် ၊ မိန်းမ က အရှင် မင်းကြီး အမိန့် ရှိတော်မူပါဟု လျှောက် လေ၏”
౧౮అప్పుడు రాజు “నేను నిన్ను అడిగే విషయం ఎంతమాత్రం దాచిపెట్టకుండా నాకు చెప్పు” అని ఆ స్త్రీతో అన్నాడు. ఆమె “నా యజమానివైన రాజా, ఏమిటో అడుగు” అంది.
19 ၁၉ ရှင် ဘုရင်ကလည်း ၊ ဤ အမှု၌ ယွာဘ သည် သင့် အားအကြံပေးသည်မဟုတ်လောဟုမေး သော် ၊ မိန်းမ က အိုအရှင် မင်းကြီး ၊ ကိုယ်တော် အသက် ရှင်တော်မူသည်အတိုင်း၊ အရှင် မင်းကြီး မိန့် တော်မူသော စကားလမ်းမှ လက်ျာ ဘက်လက်ဝဲ ဘက်သို့ အဘယ်သူမျှမ လွှဲနိုင် ရာ။ အကယ်စင်စစ် ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် ယွာဘ သည် ကျွန်တော်မ ကို မှာ ထား၍ ဤ စကား အလုံးစုံ တို့ကို သွန်သင် ပါ၏။
౧౯రాజు “ఇదంతా యోవాబు నీకు చెప్పి పంపాడా?” అని అడిగాడు. అప్పుడు ఆమె ఇలా చెప్పింది “నా ఏలికవైన రాజా, నీ మీద ఒట్టు, చెప్పినదంతా తప్పకుండా గ్రహించడానికి నా యజమానివైన నీలాంటి రాజు తప్ప ఇంకెవ్వరూ లేరు. నీ సేవకుడు యోవాబు ఈ మాటలన్నిటినీ నీ దాసినైన నాకు నేర్పించాడు.
20 ၂၀ ပရိယာယ်ပြု၍ ဤသို့ အယောင်ဆောင် စေခြင်းငှါ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် ယွာဘ သည် စီရင် ပါ၏။ အရှင်သခင် သည်လည်း မြေကြီး ပေါ် မှာ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို သိ နိုင်သည် တိုင်အောင်ဘုရား သခင်၏ ကောင်းကင်တမန် သည် ပညာရှိ သကဲ့သို့ ပညာရှိ တော်မူသည်ဟု ပြန်လျှောက် လေ၏”
౨౦జరుగుతున్న పరిస్థితులను మార్చడానికి నీ సేవకుడు యోవాబు ఇలా చేశాడు. ఈ లోకంలో సమస్తాన్నీ గ్రహించడానికి నా రాజువైన నువ్వు దేవదూతలకుండే జ్ఞానం ఉన్నవాడవు.”
21 ၂၁ ထိုအခါ ရှင် ဘုရင်က၊ ဤ အမှု ကို ငါစီရင် ရ၏။ သင်သွား ၍ ထို လုလင် အဗရှလုံ ကို တဖန်ခေါ်ရမည်ဟု ယွာဘ အား မိန့် တော်မူ၏။
౨౧అప్పుడు రాజు యోవాబును పిలిచి “విను, నువ్వు చెప్పినది నేను అంగీకరించాను” అని చెప్పి,
22 ၂၂ ယွာဘ သည်လည်း မြေ ပေါ် မှာ ဦးချ ပြပ်ဝပ် လျက် ၊ ကျွန်တော် သခင် အရှင်မင်းကြီး ၊ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် အသနား တော်ခံသည်အတိုင်း အရှင်မင်းကြီး ပြု တော်မူသောကြောင့်၊ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် သည် ရှေ့ တော်၌ မျက်နှာရ ကြောင်း ကို ကျွန်တော်သိ ပါသည်ဟု ကျေးဇူးတော်ကို ဝန်ခံလေ၏။
౨౨“యువకుడైన అబ్షాలోమును రప్పించండి” అని ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చాడు. అప్పుడు యోవాబు సాష్టాంగపడి నమస్కారం చేసి రాజును కీర్తించాడు. “రాజువైన నువ్వు నీ దాసుడనైన నా మనవి అంగీకరించినందుకు నా ఏలికవైన నీ ద్వారా నేను అనుగ్రహం పొందానని నాకు తెలిసింది” అని చెప్పి, గెషూరుకు వెళ్లి
23 ၂၃ ထိုနောက် ယွာဘ သည်ထ ၍ ဂေရှုရ မြို့သို့ သွား သဖြင့် ၊ အဗရှလုံ ကို ယေရုရှလင် မြို့သို့ဆောင် ခဲ့လေ၏။
౨౩అబ్షాలోమును యెరూషలేముకు వెంటబెట్టుకుని వచ్చాడు.
24 ၂၄ ရှင် ဘုရင်ကလည်း ၊ မိမိ အိမ် သို့ သွား စေ။ ငါ့ မျက်နှာ ကို မ မြင် စေနှင့်ဟု အမိန့် တော်ရှိသည်အတိုင်း ၊ အဗရှလုံ သည် မိမိ အိမ် သို့ သွား ၍ ရှင်ဘုရင် ၏ မျက်နှာ တော်ကို မ မြင် ရ။
౨౪అయితే రాజు “అతడు నాకు ఎదుట పడక తన ఇంటికి వెళ్ళిపోవాలి” అని చెప్పాడు. అబ్షాలోము రాజుకు తన ముఖం చూపించకుండా తన ఇంటికి వెళ్ళిపోయాడు.
25 ၂၅ ဣသရေလ အမျိုး တမျိုးလုံး တွင် အဗရှလုံ ကဲ့သို့ အဆင်းလှ ၍ ချီးမွမ်း ရသောသူတယောက်မျှမ ရှိ။ ခြေဘဝါး မှ သည် ဦးထိပ် တိုင်အောင် အပြစ် တခုမျှမ ရှိ။
౨౫ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరిలో అబ్షాలోము అంతటి అందమైనవాడు ఎవ్వరూ లేరు. అరికాలు మొదలు నడినెత్తి వరకూ అతనిలో ఎలాంటి లోపమూ లేదు.
౨౬అతడు ఏడాదికొకసారి తన తలవెంట్రుకలు కత్తిరిస్తూ ఉంటాడు. ఆ వెంట్రుకల బరువు ఆనాటి కొలతను బట్టి దాదాపు రెండు కిలోగ్రాముల బరువు ఉండేది.
27 ၂၇ အဗရှလုံ သည် သား သုံး ယောက်နှင့် တာမာ အမည် ရှိသောသမီး တယောက် ကိုမြင် လေ၏။ သမီးသည် အလွန်လှ သောသူဖြစ် ၏။
౨౭అబ్షాలోముకు ముగ్గురు కొడుకులు, ఒక కూతురు ఉన్నారు. అతని కూతురి పేరు తామారు. ఆమె అత్యంత సౌందర్యవతి.
౨౮అబ్షాలోము రాజును చూడకుండా పూర్తిగా రెండేళ్ళు యెరూషలేములోనే ఉండిపోయాడు.
౨౯రాజు దగ్గరికి యోవాబును పంపించడానికి అబ్షాలోము అతనికి కబురు పంపాడు. అయితే యోవాబు రాలేదు. రెండవసారి అతణ్ణి పిలిపించినప్పటికీ అతడు రాలేదు. అబ్షాలోముకు కోపం వచ్చింది.
30 ၃၀ ဒုတိယ အကြိမ်ခေါ်သော်လည်း မ လာ။ ထိုကြောင့် ကျွန် တို့အား ၊ ယွာဘ ၏ လယ် သည် ငါတို့နေရာ နှင့်နီးပြီ။ မုယော စပါးရှိ၏။ သွား ၍ မီး ရှို့ ကြဟု စီရင်သည်အတိုင်း အဗရှလုံ ၏ကျွန် တို့သည် မီး ရှို့ ကြ၏။
౩౦తన పనివారిని పిలిచి “యోవాబు పొలం నా పొలం దగ్గరే ఉన్నది గదా. అతని పొలంలో యవల పంట కోతకు వచ్చి ఉంది. మీరు వెళ్లి ఆ పంటను తగలబెట్టండి” అని చెప్పాడు. అబ్షాలోము పనివాళ్ళు ఆ పంటలు తగలబెట్టారు.
31 ၃၁ ထိုအခါ ယွာဘ သည် အဗရှလုံ အိမ် သို့ ထ သွား ၍ ၊ ကိုယ်တော် ၏ ကျွန် တို့သည် ကျွန်တော် လယ် ကို အဘယ်ကြောင့် မီး ရှို့ ကြသနည်းဟုမေး သော်၊
౩౧ఇది తెలిసిన యోవాబు అబ్షాలోము ఇంటికి వచ్చి “నీ పనివాళ్ళు నా పంటలు ఎందుకు తగలబెట్టారు?” అని అడిగాడు.
32 ၃၂ အဗရှလုံ က၊ ငါသည် ဂေရှုရ မြို့မှ အဘယ်ကြောင့် လာ ရသနည်း။ ထို မြို့၌ ယခုတိုင်အောင်နေကောင်း သည်ဟု လျှောက် စေခြင်းငှါ ၊ သင့် ကို ရှင်ဘုရင် ထံ တော်သို့ စေလွှတ် မည်ဟု ငါခေါ်၏။ ယခု မှာ ရှင်ဘုရင် ၏ မျက်နှာ တော်ကို ငါမြင် ရပါစေ။ အပြစ် ရှိ လျှင် သတ် တော်မူပါစေဟု ယွာဘ အား ပြောဆို သော်၊
౩౨అబ్షాలోము యోవాబుతో ఇలా అన్నాడు “గెషూరు నుండి నేను రావడంవల్ల ఉపయోగం ఏమిటి? నేను అక్కడే ఉండడం మంచిదని నీ ద్వారా రాజుకు చెప్పించడానికి నీకు కబురు పంపాను. నేను రాజును కలుసుకోవాలి. నాలో ఏమైనా నేరం కనిపిస్తే రాజు నాకు మరణశిక్ష విధించవచ్చు” అన్నాడు.
33 ၃၃ ယွာဘ သည် ရှင်ဘုရင် ထံ တော်သို့ သွား ၍ လျှောက် သဖြင့် ၊ အဗရှလုံ ကို ခေါ် တော်မူ၏။ အဗရှလုံ သည်လာ ၍ ရှင်ဘုရင် ရှေ့ တော်၌ ဦးချ ပြပ်ဝပ်၏။ ရှင် ဘုရင်သည် သူကို နမ်း တော်မူ၏။
౩౩అప్పుడు యోవాబు రాజు దగ్గరికి వచ్చి ఆ విషయం రాజుకు చెప్పినప్పుడు, రాజు అబ్షాలోమును పిలిపించాడు. అతడు రాజు దగ్గరికి వచ్చి రాజు ముందు సాష్టాంగపడి నమస్కారం చేశాడు. రాజు అబ్షాలోమును దగ్గరికి తీసుకుని ముద్దు పెట్టుకున్నాడు.
