2 Samuel 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 David asked, "Is there any survivor of Saul's house to whom I may show kindness for the sake of Jonathan?"	1 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܝܬ ܟܝ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܫܬܚܪ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܥܒܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܢܬܢ
2 Now there was a servant of the family of Saul named Ziba. He was summoned to David, and the king asked him, "Are you Ziba?" He replied, "Your servant."	2 ܘܠܒܝܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܫܡܗ ܨܝܒܐ ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܨܝܒܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܟ
3 Then the king inquired, "Is there any survivor of Saul's house to whom I may show God's kindness?" Ziba answered the king, "There is still Jonathan's son, whose feet are crippled."	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܝܬ ܬܘܒ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܥܒܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܨܝܒܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܩܝܡ ܒܪܐ ܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܡܣܪ̈ܚܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܘܗܝ
4 The king said to him, "Where is he?" and Ziba answered, "He is in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lodebar."	4 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܝܟܘ ܐܡܪ ܨܝܒܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܗܐ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܝܪ ܗ̣ܘ ܒܪ ܓܡܝܠ ܡܢ ܠܘܕܒܪ
5 So King David sent for him and had him brought from the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.	5 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܒܪܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܝܪ ܒܪ ܓܡܝܠ ܡܢ ܠܘܕܒܪ
6 When Meribbaal, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, he fell prostrate in homage. David said, "Meribbaal," and he answered, "Your servant."	6 ܘܐܬܐ ܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܘܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܘܣܓܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕܟ
7 "Fear not," David said to him, "I will surely be kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the lands of your grandfather Saul, and you shall always eat at my table."	7 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܡܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܐܒܘܟ ܘܡܦܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܩ̈ܠܬܐ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܐܒܘܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܟ̇ܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܝ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ
8 Bowing low, he answered, "What is your servant that you should pay attention to a dead dog like me?"	8 ܘܣܓܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܚܫܝܒ ܥܒܕܟ ܕܚܪܬ ܒܝ ܕܐܝܟ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܝܬܐ
9 The king then called Ziba, Saul's attendant, and said to him: "I am giving your lord's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his family.	9 ܘܩܪܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܨܝܒܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܗ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܒܪ ܡܪ̈ܝܟ
10 You and your sons and servants must till the land for him. You shall bring in the produce, which shall be food for your lord's family to eat. But Meribbaal, your lord's son, shall always eat at my table." Ziba, who had fifteen sons and twenty servants,	10 ܘܬܦܠܘܚ ܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܒܢܝ̈ܟ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܘܬܥܠ ܠܒܪ ܡܪ̈ܝܟ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܒܪ ܡܪ̈ܝܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܟ̇ܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܝ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܘܠܨܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܚܡܫܬܥܣܪ̈ ܒܢܝ̈ܢ ܘܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܢ
11 said to the king, "Your servant shall do just as my lord the king has commanded him." And so Meribbaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.	11 ܘܐܡܪ ܨܝܒܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܟܠ ܕܦܩܕ ܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܥܒܕܟ ܘܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܐܟܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܠܟܐ
12 Meribbaal had a young son whose name was Mica; and all the tenants of Ziba's family worked for Meribbaal.	12 ܘܠܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܪܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܫܡܗ ܡܝܟܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܬܒܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܨܝܒܐ ܗܘܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܐ ܕܡܦܝܒܫܬ
13 But Meribbaal lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table. He was lame in both feet.	13 ܘܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܠܥܣ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܣܪ̈ܚܢ ܗ̈ܘܝ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܗܝܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܘܗܝ
