1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
Zechariah 2 in Tamil and English
1 তারপর আমি চোখ তুলে চেয়ে দেখলাম মাপার ফিতে হাতে একজন মানুষ|
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 আমি জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, “আপনি কোথায যাচ্ছেন?”তিনি আমায় বললেন, “আমি জেরুশালেম মেপে দেখতে চাই তা দৈর্ঘ্যে ও প্রস্থে কতখানি|”
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 তখন য়ে দেবদূতটি আমার সঙ্গে কথা বলেছিলেন তিনি চলে গেলেন এবং আরেকটি দেবদূত তাঁর সঙ্গে কথা বলবার জন্য এগিয়ে এলেন|
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 তিনি তাকে বললেন, “দৌড়ে গিয়ে সেই যুবকদের বল য়ে জেরুশালেম মাপার পক্ষে অতিশয বড়| তার কাছে গিয়ে এই কথাগুলো বল:‘জেরুশালেম হবে প্রাচীরবিহীন একটি শহর কারণ জেরুশালেমে বসবাসকারী মানুষ ও পশুর সংখ্যা হবে অনেক|’
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 প্রভু বলেছেন, ‘আমি শহরের চারধারে একটি আগুনের প্রাচীর তৈরী করে তাকে রক্ষা করব| এবং সেই শহরের মহিমা আনয়ণ করবার জন্য আমি সেখানে বাস করব|”‘
For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 প্রভু বলেছেন, “তাড়াতাড়ি কর, উত্তরে অবস্থিত দেশটি ত্যাগ কর! হ্যাঁ, এটা সত্যি য়ে আমি তোমার লোকেদের চতুর্দ্দিকে ছড়িয়ে দিয়েছিলাম|”
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 ওহে সিয়োনের লোকেরা, যারা বাবিলে বাস করছ, তোমাদের প্রাণ বাঁচাতে এ জায়গা ছেড়ে যাও| ঐ শহর ছেড়ে পালাও! সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই এই কথা বলেছেন| তিনি আমাকে সেই জাতিগুলির মধ্যে পাঠিয়েছেন যারা তোমাদের লুঠ করেছিল| তিনি আমাকে পাঠিয়েছেন তোমাদের কাছে সম্মান আনতে|
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 কারণ তোমাদের আঘাত করা, ঈশ্বরের চোখের মণিকে আঘাত করবার তুল্য|
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 বাবিলের লোকেরা আমার লোকেদের কারারুদ্ধ করেছিল এবং তাদের এীতদাস বানিয়েছিল| কিন্তু আমি তাদের আঘাত করলে তারা আমার লোকেদের দাস হয়ে যাবে| তখন তোমরা জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই আমায় পাঠিয়েছেন|”
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 প্রভু বলেছেন, “সিয়োন, আনন্দ করো এবং সুখী হও! কারণ আমি আসছি এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11 সেই সময়ে বহু জাতি আমার কাছে আসবে| তারা আমার লোক হবে এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|” আর তুমি জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভু আমায় তোমার কাছে পাঠিয়েছেন|”
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 প্রভু জেরুশালেমকে তাঁর বিশেষ শহর হিসেবে আবার মনোনীত করবেন| যিহূদা হবে পবিত্র ভূমিতে তাঁর অংশ|
And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 প্রত্যেকে নীরব হও! প্রভু তাঁর পবিত্র আবাস হতে আসছেন|
Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
