2 Samuel 16

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold Siba the servant of Miphiboseth came to meet him with two asses, laden with two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs, and a vessel of wine.	1 ܘܕܘܝܕ ܦܪܩ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܬܪ ܕܣܓܕ ܗܘܐ ܘܨܝܒܐ ܛܠܝܗ ܕܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܘܐܝܬܝ ܥܡܗ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܚܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܟܕ ܛܥܝܢ̈ܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܐܬ̈ܝܢ ܓܪ̈ܝܨܢ ܘܡܐܐ ܕܒ̈ܠܝܢ ܘܡܐܐ ܓܘܒܢ̈ܝܢ ܘܙܩܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ
2 And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.	2 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܨܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܝܒܐ ܚܡܪ̈ܐ ܕܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܛܥܘܢܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܘܓܘܒ̈ܢܐ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܛ̈ܠܝܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܕܢܫܬܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܪܦܝܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ
3 And the king said: Where is thy master's son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: To day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܝܟܘ ܒܪ ܡܪ̈ܝܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܝܒܐ ܗܐ ܝܬ̇ܒ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܢܦܢܘܢ ܠܝ ܒܢܝ̈ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܐܒܝ
4 And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king.	4 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܨܝܒܐ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܟ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܡܦܝܒܫܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܨܝܒܐ ܣܓܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ
5 And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on,	5 ܘܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܚܘܪܝܡ ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܫܡܗ ܫܡܥܝ ܒܪ ܓܐܪܐ ܢܦ̇ܩ ܘܡܨܚܐ ܠܗ ܠܕܘܝܕ
6 And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king.	6 ܘܪܓܡ ܠܗ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܡܢ ܣܡܠܗ
7 And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial.	7 ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܝ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܡܨܚܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܦܘܩ ܦܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܫ̇ܕ ܕܡܐ ܘܥܘܠܐ
8 The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood.	8 ܢܦܪܥܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܕܡܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܕܐܡܠܟܬ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܢܫܠܡܝܗ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܒܪܟ ܘܗܐ ܐܬܦܪܥܬ ܒܝܫܬܟ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܫ̇ܕ ܕܡܐ
9 And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head.	9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܝܫܝ ܒܪ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܨܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܒܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܥܒܪ ܐܣܒܝܘܗܝ ܪܝܫܗ
10 And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so?	10 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܐ ܠܝ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܫܘܒܩܘܗܝ ܡܨܚܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܨܚܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܗܘܢܝ ܗܟܢܐ
11 And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him.	11 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܐܒܝܫܝ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܗܐ ܒܪܝ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܡ̈ܥܝ ܒܥ̇ܐ ܕܢܣܒ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܒܢܝ̈ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܫܘܒܩܘܗܝ ܡܨܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ
12 Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day.	12 ܛܟ ܢܚܙܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܫܘܥܒܕܝ ܘܢܦܪܥܢܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܨܘܚܝ̈ܬܝ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ
13 And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill's side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth.	13 ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܫܡܥܝ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܦܝܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܡܨܚܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܪܓܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܘܫܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܥܦܪܐ
14 And the king and all the people with him came weary, and refreshed themselves there.	14 ܘܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܟܕ ܡܛܪܦܝܢ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚܘ ܬܡܢ
15 But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him.	15 ܘܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܟܘܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܬܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܚܝܬܘܦܝܠ ܥܡܗ
16 And when Chusai the Arachite, David's friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king.	16 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܚܘܫܝ ܐܪܟܝܐ ܪܚܡܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܘܫܝ ܠܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܚܝܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܚܝܝ ܡܠܟܐ
17 And Absalom said to him: Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?	17 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܠܚܘܫܝ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܪܚܡܘܬܗ ܕܪܚܡܟ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܥܡ ܪܚܡܟ
18 And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide.	18 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܘܫܝ ܠܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܓܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܝܠܗ ܥܡܗ ܐܬܒ
19 Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king's son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also.	19 ܘܕܝܠܗ ܐܗܘܐ ܘܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܙܒ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܡ̇ܢ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܠܚܬ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܘܟ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦܠܘܚ ܩܕܡܝܟ
20 And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.	20 ܐܡܪ ܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܠܐܚܝܬܘܦܝܠ ܡܠܘܟܝܢܝ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ
21 And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.	21 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܚܝܬܘܦܝܠ ܠܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܥܘܠ ܥܠ ܕܪ̈ܘܟܬܗ ܕܐܒܘܟ ܕܫܒܩ ܕܢܛܪ̈ܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܥܡ ܕܪ̈ܘܟܬܗ ܕܐܒܘܟ ܡܬܚܝ̈ܠܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܐ ܕܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܥܡܟ
22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel.	22 ܘܢܩܫܘ ܠܗ ܠܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܥܠ ܐܓܪܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܒܫܠܘܡ ܥܠ ܕܪ̈ܘܟܬܗ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
23 Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.	23 ܘܡ̣ܠܟܐ ܕܡܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝܬܘܦܠ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܫܐܠ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡ̣ܠܟ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܐܚܝܬܘܦܝܠ ܐܦ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܒܝܫܠܘܡ
