9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” “At your service,” he replied. 3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.” 4 “Where is he?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.” 5 So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel. 6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, “Mephibosheth!” “At your service,” he replied. 7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.” 8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” 9 Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s[a] table like one of the king’s sons. 12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth. 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet. 10 In the course of time, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king. 2 David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. When David’s men came to the land of the Ammonites, 3 the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Hasn’t David sent them to you only to explore the city and spy it out and overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away. 5 When David was told about this, he sent messengers to meet the men, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.” 6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth Rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maakah with a thousand men, and also twelve thousand men from Tob. 7 On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men. 8 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maakah were by themselves in the open country. 9 Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans. 10 He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother and deployed them against the Ammonites. 11 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you. 12 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.” 13 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 14 When the Ammonites realized that the Arameans were fleeing, they fled before Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab returned from fighting the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem. 15 After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they regrouped. 16 Hadadezer had Arameans brought from beyond the Euphrates River; they went to Helam, with Shobak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them. 17 When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him. 18 But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers.[b] He also struck down Shobak the commander of their army, and he died there. 19 When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore. 11 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. 2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.” 6 So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go down to his house. 10 David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” So he asked Uriah, “Haven’t you just come from a military campaign? Why didn’t you go home?” 11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[c] and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!” 12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 At David’s invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master’s servants; he did not go home. 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.” 16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died. 18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger: “When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, 20 the king’s anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelek son of Jerub-Besheth[d]? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’” 22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate. 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.” 25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.’ Say this to encourage Joab.” 26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord. 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ 31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

2 शमूएल 11Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद बेतशेबासँग मिल्छन् 11 बसन्त ऋतुको समय जब राजाहरू युद्धका निम्ति बाहिर आए र दाऊदले योआब, तिनका अधिकारीहरू र सारा इस्राएली सैनिकहरूलाई अम्मोनीहरू नष्ट गर्न पठाउनु भयो। योआबका सेनाहरूले तिनीहरूको राजधानी रब्बा शहरमा पनि आक्रमण गरे। तर दाऊद यरूशलेममा नै बसे। 2 साँझमा तिनी ओछ्यानबाट उठे र राजभवनको कौशिमा टहल्नथाले। त्यहि समय दाऊदले कौशिबाट एउटी स्त्रीलाई नुहाउँदै गरेको देखे। तिनी साह्रै सुन्दरी थिईन्। 3 त्यसैकारण दाऊदले तिनको विषयमा जान्नका निम्ति आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू पठाए। एकजना अधिकारीले बुझेर खबर दिए, “त्यो स्त्री एलीआमको छोरी र हित्तीका उरियाहकी पत्नी बेतशेबा हुन्।” 4 दाऊदले उसका दूतहरूलाई त्यो स्त्री बोलाउन पठाए। जब ती स्त्री आइन्, दाऊदले तिनीसँग सहवास गरे। तिनको मासिक धर्मको समय शेष भयो। तब तिनी गइहालीन्। 5 र बेतशेबा गर्भबती भइन्। तिनले दाऊदलाई, “म गर्भवती भएँ” भनेर खबर पठाइन्। दाऊदले आफ्नो पाप लुकाउन चाहे 6 दाऊदले योआबकहाँ खबर पठाए, “हित्तीका उरिहालाई मकहाँ पठाउँनु।” यसैले योआबले ऊरियालाई दाऊदकहाँ पठाए। 7 उरियाह दाऊदकहाँ आए। दाऊदले उरियाहसँग योआबको विषयमा सोधे। सैनिकहरूको हाल खबर सोधे र युद्धको विषयमा जान्न चाहे। 8 तब दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “आराम गर र आनन्दित हौ।” उरियाहले राजभवन छोडे। राजाले उसलाई उपहारहरू पनि दिए। 9 तर उरियाह उसको घरमा गएनन्। उरियाह राजभवनको बाहिर दैलोमा सुते। राजाका अन्य नोकर चाकर झैं तिनी सुते। 10 नोकर चाकरले दाऊदलाई भने, “उरियाह घर गएनन्।” त्यसपछि दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “तिमी टाढाबाट आएका थियौ किन घर गएनौ?” 11 उरियाहले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमप्रभुको पवित्र सन्दूक अनि इस्राएलका सैनिकहरू र यहूदाका सैनिक सबै तम्बूमा बस्छन्। मेरा स्वामी योआब, अनि राजा दाऊदका अधिकारीहरू सबै खुल्ला मैदानमा डेरा गरेर बस्छन्। यसैले म घर गएर खाई पिई पत्नीसँग सुत्नु ठीक हैन।” 12 दाऊदले उरियाहलाई भने, “आज यहीं बस। भोलि म तिमीलाई युद्ध भूमिमा पठाउँछु।” उरियाह त्यस दिन रातभरि यरूशलेममा नै बसे। 13 त्यसपछि दाऊदले उरियाहलाई उनलाई भेट्नु भने। उरियाहले दाऊदसँगै खान-पिन गरे। दाऊदले उरियाहलाई धेरै मताए। तरै पनि उरियाह उसको घरमा गएनन्। तिनी अन्य सेवकहरू झैं राजमहलको प्रवेशद्वार बाहिर सुते। दाऊदको उरियाहलाई मार्ने योजना 14 अर्को बिहान दाऊदले योआबलाई पत्र लेखे। दाऊदले उरियाहलाई नै पत्र थमाए। 15 पत्रमा दाऊदले लेखेका थिएः “उरियाहलाई जहाँ घमासन युद्ध हुन्छ त्यही पठाउनु। एक्लो छोडिदिनु अनि युद्धमा नै मरोस्।” 16 जब योआबले शहरलाई कब्जा गरे, उसले जहाँ साहसी अम्मोनीहरू थिए ती भेट्टाए। उनले उरियाहलाई त्यही ठाउँमा जान छाने। 17 रब्बाका मानिसहरू योआबको विरूद्ध युद्ध गर्न आए। दाऊदका कतिपय मानिसहरू मरे। मर्नेहरूमा उरियाह पनि थिए। 18 तब योआबले दाऊदलाई युद्धको विषयमा खबर पठाए। 19 योआबले दूतलाई युद्धमा के भएको थियो भन्नु भनेर पठाए। 20 योआबले भने, “हुनसक्छ राजा रिसाउनु हुनेछ अनि सोध्नु हुनेछन्, ‘योआबका सेनाहरू शहरका पर्खाल नजिक किन लडे? साँच्चैनै योआबलाई थाहा हुनुपर्ने पर्खालमाथिबाट मानिसहरूले तल वाण चलाउन सक्छन्। 21 के उसलाई थाहा छैन यरूब्बेशेतका छोरा अबीमेलेकलाई कसले मार्यो? एउटी आइमाईले जाँतोको ढुङ्गाले हानेर अबीमेलेक मरेका थिए। त्यस्तो जान्दा-जान्दै पनि किन पर्खालकै नजिक गएको?’ यदि राजाले यी कुराहरू सोधे भने भन्नु, ‘तपाईंको अधिकारी उरियाह पनि मरे।’” 22 दूत गएर योआबले आज्ञा दिएका कुरा सबै दाऊदलाई सुनाए। 23 दूतहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले हामीलाई मैदानमा धावा बोले। हामी लड्यौं र शहरको फाटकसम्म खेद्दै भगायौं। 24 तब शहरको पर्खालबाट तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूलाई मानिसहरूले बाण चलाए। तपाईंका केही अधिकारीहरू मरे। तपाईंका अधिकारी उरियाह पनि यसरी मरे।” 25 दाऊदले दूतहरूलाई योआब कहाँ खबर पठाएः “दुःख मान्ने केही कारण छैन। तरवारले एकजना मानिस पनि मार्न सक्छ अर्को पनि। रब्बाको बिरूद्धमा शक्तिशाली आक्रमण चलाएर विजय प्राप्त गर। यी शब्दहरूले योआबलाई उत्साह प्रदान गर।” दाऊदले बेतशेबालाई विवाह गर्छन 26 बेतशेबाले आफ्ना पति उरियाह मरेको थाहा पाउँछिन्। आफ्ना लोग्नेको निम्त रोइकराई गर्छिन्। 27 तिनले शोकाकुल अवस्था पार गरेपछि दाऊदले नोकरलाई बोलाउन पठाउँछन्। तिनी दाऊदकी पत्नी बन्छिन् र दाऊदको छोरा जन्माउँछिन्। तर परमप्रभुलाई दाऊदको कु-कर्म ठीक लागेको थिएन।
