2 Samuel 9

1 “Nikhat David in adongin, Saul insung mite khat beh ahing naum nalai’u vem? Jonathan jal'a keiman khutona kamusah thei ding tin adongin ahile,

And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because of Jonathan?

2 Saul insunga soh natong ho lah a mi khat anaum khan ama chu amin Ziba akiti; Hichun lengpan jong amapa chu adongin, “Nang hi Ziba nahi hinam?” tin adongin ahileh. Hichun Ziba in jong adonbut in“Henge keima Ziba chu kahinai,” ati.

Now there was of Saul's people a servant named Ziba, and they sent him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, I am.

3 Chuin lengpan adongin, “Saul insung mi khat beh ahingdoh um nalailou ham? Aum leh, keiman Pathen mi khutona chu kamusah nom uve atileh; Ziban jong lengpa ahindonbut in, henge, “Jonathan chapa khat aum nan, ama hi akengphang te ni chatmoa kibai ahi,” atipeh e.

And the king said, Is there anyone of Saul's family still living, to whom I may be a friend in God's name? And Ziba said, There is a son of Jonathan, whose feet are damaged.

4 Chuphat in lengpan jong, “Ama chu hoiya umham?” tin ahin dong tan ahileh; Ziban lengpa chu aseipeh in, “Ama chu Lodebar khoa Ammiel chapa Makir In a um ahi,” ati.

And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

5 Hichun David lengpan mi asolin, ama chu Makir In na konin agapuidoh sah tai.

Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.

6 Hiti hin Saul tupa Jonathan chapa Mephibosheth kitipa chu David koma ahungin alu kunin jana apen ahi. Chuin David chun ahoupin, “Mephibosheth atileh; aman jong, “keima nasohpa kahi,” tin adonbut’e.

And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.

7 Hichun David’in akoma hitin aseiye, “Kicha hih in, keiman napa Jonathan jal a nanghi kakhoto ding, chujongle khatvei napu Saul neilegou anahikhasa jouse chu aboncha nangma kapeh kit ding nahi; chule nangman hiche leng ankong phunga hi keima toh an naneh khom ding ahiye,” ati.

And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

8 Hichun Mephibosheth jong chun jana ape kit’in aseikit’e, “Nasohpa kei hi ipi kahiya nangin hiche uicha thisa tobang chunga hi khutona neimusah khoh ding ham?” atitai.

And he went down on his face before the king, and said, What is your servant, for you to take note of a dead dog such as I am?

9 David lengpan Saul sohpa Ziba chu akouvin akoma hitin aseipeh’e, “Ipi hijongle Saul thilkeo anei jouse leh ama insung mite nei jouse chu aboncha hiche napu chapa hi kapeh ahitai.

Then the king sent for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All the property of Saul and of his family I have given to your master's son.

10 Hijeh a chu napu chapa hin anneh akimu jouna dinga nangma le nachapate, chule nasohten ama dinga lou nabol peh dingu ahin, alousoh ga nahin poh pehji dingu ahi; ahin hiche Mephibosheth napu tupa vang hin keima ankong phunga an aneh jing jeng ding ahi,” tin thu apetai. Ziba kitipa hin chapa som le nga ananeiyin, soh jong som ni jen aneiyin ahi.

And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Chuin Ziba in lengpa koma aseijin, “Kapu lengpan nasohpa keima neithupeh bang bang chun nasohpa hin gabol nange,” ati. Hiti chun hiche nikho apet chun Mephobisheth hin lengpa chate lah a khatpen bang in David ankong phunga chun an anejing jeng tan ahi.

Then Ziba said to the king, Every order which you have given to your servant will be done. As for Mephibosheth, he had a place at David's table, like one of the king's sons.

12 Mephibosheth jong hin chapa gollhang khat aneiyin, amin jong chu Mica ahi. Chunikho apet chun Mephibosheth soh natong din Ziba insung mite abonchan apang tauvin ahi.

And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

13 Hiti hin Mephibosheth akengphang te ni kibai pachu Jerusalem a achangin, chule aniseh in leng ankong ah an anejing tan ahi.

So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.
