2 Samuel 9

1 David mah, Jonathan rang hoiah tahmenhaih kam tuengsak hanah, Saul imthung takoh thung hoi kanghmat kami oh vop maw? tiah a dueng.

David said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

2 To naah Saul imthung ah tamna tok sah, Ziba, tiah kawk ih kami maeto oh. Anih to David khaeah kawk o, siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Nang loe Ziba maw? tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Na tamna kai bae, tiah a naa.

There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your servant is he."

3 Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Sithaw tahmenhaih kam tuengsak hanah, Saul imthung takoh ah kanghmat kami maeto doeh om ai boeh maw? tiah a naa. Ziba mah siangpahrang khaeah, Khokkhaem, Jonathan capa maeto oh vop, tiah a naa.

The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet."

4 Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, To kami loe naa ah maw oh? tiah a dueng. Ziba mah siangpahrang khaeah, Khenah, anih loe Lo Debar avang ah kaom, Ammiel capa Makir im ah oh, tiah a naa.

And the king said, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."

5 To pongah siangpahrang David mah anih to Lo Dabar avang ah kaom, Ammiel capa Makir im ah kawksak.

Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.

6 Saul capa Jonathan, Jonathan capa Mephiboseth David khaeah phak naah, anih hmaa ah akuep moe, khingyahaih to paek. David mah, Mephisobeth, tiah kawk. Anih mah, Na tamna hae ah ka oh, tiah a naa.

And Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, "Mippibaal?" And he answered, "Look, your servant."

7 David mah anih khaeah, Zii hmah, nampa Jonathan rang hoiah na nuiah tahmenhaih kam tuengsak han; namsae Saul mah tawnh ih lawknawk boih kang paek let han, nang loe ka caboi nuiah buh na caa poe tih, tiah a naa.

And David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually."

8 Mephiboseth mah akuep moe, Kadueh ui baktish kaom, kai hae tih han ih na poek khing loe, tiah a naa.

He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"

9 To naah siangpahrang mah Saul ih tamna, Ziba to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Saul hoi angmah ih imthung takohnawk mah tawnh ih hmuennawk boih, na angraeng ih capa hanah ka paek boeh.

Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master's son.

10 To pongah nangmah hoi na caanawk, na tamnanawk boih mah, anih hanah lawk tok to sah pae oh loe, na angraeng capa caak hanah thingthai qumponawk to paek oh; toe na angraeng capa, Mephisobeth loe kai ih caboi nuiah buh caa poe tih, tiah a naa. Ziba loe caa nongpa hatlai pangato hoi tamna pumphaeto tawnh.

You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 To naah Ziba mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na tamna khaeah ka angraeng siangpahrang mah sak hanah nang paek ih loknawk boih to na tamna kai mah ka sak han, tiah a naa. To pongah Mephibosheth loe siangpahrang ih capanawk baktih toengah, ka caboi nuiah buhcaak toeng.

Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.

12 Mephisobeth mah capa nawkta maeto sak, anih ih ahmin loe Mika. Ziba imthung takoh ah kaom kaminawk boih loe Maphiboseth ih tamna ah oh o.

Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.

13 Mephiboseth loe siangpahrang ih caboi nuiah buhcaak poe pongah, Jerusalem vangpui ah oh; anih loe khokkhaem hmaek.

So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
