mapeeboshet ke liye atal pyar (1-13)
9 fir daavid ne poochha, “kya shaaool ke gharane mein se koi ab tak bacha hai? agar koi hai to main yonatan ki khaatir us par kripa* karna chahta hoon.”+
2 shaaool ke gharane mein seeba naam ka ek sevak tha.+ use raja daavid ke paas bulaya gaya aur daavid ne usse poochha, “kya tu seeba hai?” usne kaha, “haan, main tera sevak seeba hoon.”
3 raja ne usse poochha, “kya shaaool ke gharane mein se koi ab tak bacha hai? main us par kripa* karna chahta hoon, theek jaise parmeshvar karta hai.” seeba ne raja se kaha, “yonatan ka ek beta zinda hai. woh donon pairon se laachar* hai.”+
4 raja ne kaha, “woh kahaan hai?” seeba ne kaha, “woh lo-debar mein rehta hai, ammiel ke bete maakeer ke ghar mein.”+
5 raja daavid ne fauran apne aadmiyon ko lo-debar mein ammiel ke bete maakeer ke ghar bheja aur woh yonatan ke bete ko vahaan se le aaye.
6 jab yonatan ka beta aur shaaool ka pota mapeeboshet, daavid ke paas aaya to usne raja ke saamne munh ke bal girkar use pranam kiya. daavid ne usse kaha, “mapeeboshet!” usne kaha, “kya aagya maalik?”
7 daavid ne usse kaha, “ghabra mat. main tere pita yonatan ki khaatir zaroor tere saath kripa* se pesh aaunga.+ main tere daada shaaool ki saari zameen tujhe lauta doonga aur tu sada meri mez par khaaya karega.”+
8 yah sunte hi mapeeboshet ne zameen par girkar daavid ko pranam kiya aur usse kaha, “tera yah sevak to kuch bhi nahin hai. main bas ek mare huye kutte ke samaan hoon,+ fir bhi toone mujh par dhyan diya hai.”
9 fir raja ne shaaool ke sevak seeba ko bulvaya aur usse kaha, “tere maalik shaaool aur uske gharane ka jo kuch hai woh sab main shaaool ke is pote ko de raha hoon.+
10 tu, tere bete aur tere daas iski zameen joteinge aur uski upaj batorkar tere maalik ke is pote ko diya kareinge taaki iske gharane ko bhojan milta rahe. magar jahaan tak tere maalik ke pote mapeeboshet ki baat hai woh sada meri mez par khaaya karega.”+
seeba ke 15 bete aur 20 daas the.+
11 seeba ne raja se kaha, “mere maalik, tu apne sevak ko jo-jo karne ki aagya dega woh sab main karoonga.” isliye mapeeboshet daavid ki* mez par khaane laga jaise raja ke bete khaaya karte the.
12 mapeeboshet ka ek chhota beta tha jiska naam mika tha.+ seeba ke ghar mein jitne log rehte the mapeeboshet ke sevak ban gaye.
13 mapeeboshet yarooshalem mein rehne laga aur woh raja ki mez se khaaya karta tha.+ woh donon pairon se laachar tha.+
