1 David loh, “Saul imkhui kah aka sueng te om van pueng nim? Jonathan kong ah anih ham sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a ti.

And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's sake?

2 Te vaengah Saul im kah sal, a ming ah Ziba te om. Te dongah anih te David taenglaa khue uh tih manghai loh, “Nang a Ziba,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni ue,” a tinah.

And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Siba? and he said, I [am] your servant.

3 Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Saul imkhui kah he hlang khaw om pueng pawt nim? Anih taengah Pathen kah sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a tinah. Te dongah Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Jonathan capa kho khaem te om pueng,” a tinah.

And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame [of] his feet.

4 Te daengah anih te manghai loh, “Melae anih ta?” a tinah. Ziba loh manghai te, “Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im ah om ke,” a tinah.

And the king said, Where [is] he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, [he is] in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar.

5 Te dongah manghai David loha tah tih Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im lamloh anih te a loh.

And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.

6 Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca MephiboshethTe David taengah ha pawk van neh a mikhmuh ah a bakop pah tiha bawk. Te vaengah David loh, “Mephibosheth,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni he,” a tinah.

And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold your servant.

7 Te vaengah anih te David loh, “Rhih boeh, na pa Jonathan kong ah sitlohnah he nang taengah ka saii rhoe ka saii ni. Na pa Saul kah khohmuen boeih te namah taengla kam mael ni. NamahTe kai kah caboei dongah buh rhawp na caak ni,” a tinah.

And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with you for the sake of Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul the father of your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.

8 Te vaengah MephiboshethTe bakop tih, “Ba aih nim, na sal kai bang ui duek taengla na mael,” a tinah.

And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I your servant, that you have looked upon a dead dog like me?

9 Te phoeiah manghai loh Saul kah tueihyoeih Ziba tea khue tih, “Saul neh a imkhui boeih kah a koe la aka om boeih te tah na boeipa kah a capa taengah ka paek coeng.

And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of your lord.

10 Namah neh na ca rhoek, na sal rhoek loh khohmuen ah anih hamla thohtat pah lamtah sangpah. Te vaengah na boeipa kah a capa ham caak om pah saeh lamtah anih loh ca saeh. Tedae na boeipa kah a capa Mephibosheth tah kamah kah caboei dongah buh rhawp ca saeh,” a tinah. Te vaengah Ziba taengah capa hlai nga neh sal pakul om.

And you, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him; and you shall bring in bread to the son of your lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of your lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Ka boeipa manghai loh a sala uen vanbangla na sal loh boeih saii tangloeng saeh,” a tinah. Te dongah Mephibosheth tah manghai capa pakhat bangla caboei dongaha caak.

And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.

12 Te vaengah Mephibosheth taengaha capaa noe, a ming ah Mikha te om. Ziba imkhui kah tolvael boeih tah Mephibosheth kah sal la om uh.

And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name [was] Micha: and all the household of Siba [were] servants to Memphibosthe.

13 MephiboshethTe Jerusalem ah kho a sak tih manghai caboei dongah caboei buh rhawpa caak. AnihTe a kho bok khaem.

And Memphibosthe lived in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet.
