ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૭:૯
પછી તેઓએ એકબીજાને કહ્યું, “આપણે આ બરાબર નથી કરતા. આ તો વધામણીનો દિવસ છે, પણ આપણે તો તે વિષે ચૂપ રહ્યા છીએ. જો આપણે સવાર સુધી રાહ જોઈશું, તો આપણા પર શિક્ષા આવી પડશે. તો હવે ચાલો, આપણે જઈને રાજાના કુટુંબીઓને કહીએ.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ७:९
तब वे आपस में कहने लगे, “जो हम कर रहे हैं वह अच्छा काम नहीं है, यह आनन्द के समाचार का दिन है, परन्तु हम किसी को नहीं बताते। जो हम पौ फटने तक ठहरे रहें तो हमको दण्ड मिलेगा; सो अब आओ हम राजा के घराने के पास जाकर यह बात बता दें।”

In context

7Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.

9Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”

10So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”

11Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
