If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”

ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૭:૪
જો આપણે નગરમાં જવાનું કરીએ તો નગરમાં દુકાળ છે, આપણે ત્યાં મરી જઈશું. જો આપણે અહીં રહીએ તોપણ આપણે મરી જઈશું. તો હવે ચાલો, આપણે અરામીઓની છાવણીમાં ચાલ્યા જઈએ. જો તેઓ આપણને જીવતા રહેવા દેશે, તો આપણે જીવતા રહીશું, જો તેઓ આપણને મારી નાખશે, તો આપણે મરી જઈશું.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ७:४
यदि हम कहें, ‘नगर में जाएँ,’ तो वहाँ मर जाएँगे; क्योंकि वहाँ अकाल पड़ा है, और यदि हम यहीं बैठे रहें, तो भी मर ही जाएँगे। तो आओ हम अराम की सेना में पकड़े जाएँ; यदि वे हमको जिलाए रखें तो हम जीवित रहेंगे, और यदि वे हमको मार डालें, तो भी हमको मरना ही है।”

In context

2Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

3Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?

4If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”

5They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.

6For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
