< 撒母耳記下 9 >
1 達味問說:「撒烏耳家中還有剩下的人嗎﹖為了約納堂,我要對他表示慈愛。」
And he said David ¿ for [is] there still [one] who he is left to [the] house of Saul so I may do with him covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan.
2 撒烏耳家有一個僕人,名叫漆巴,有人把他帶到達味前;君王又問他說:「你是漆巴嗎﹖」他答說:「你的僕人是。」
And [belonged] to [the] house of Saul a servant and name his [was] Ziba and people summoned him to David and he said the king to him ¿ [are] you Ziba and he said servant your.
3 君王又問他說:「撒烏耳家中還有什麼人在嗎﹖我好對他表示天主的慈愛。」漆巴回答君王說:「還有約納堂的一個雙腳跛瘸的兒子。」
And he said the king ¿ [is] there not still anyone of [the] house of Saul so I may do with him [the] covenant loyalty of God and he said Ziba to the king still a son of Jonathan stricken of both feet.
4 君王向他說:「他在那裏﹖」漆巴回答君王說:「他在羅德巴爾,阿米耳的兒子瑪基爾家裏。」
And he said to him the king where? [is] he and he said Ziba to the king here! he [is] [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
5 達味派人從羅德巴爾,阿米耳的兒子瑪基爾家裏把他接來。
And he sent the king David and he took him from [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
6 撒烏耳的孫子、約納堂的兒子,默黎巴耳來到達味前,就俯伏在地,叩拜君王。達味說:「默黎巴耳! 」他答:「你的僕人在這裏。」
And he came Mephibosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul to David and he fell on face his and he bowed down and he said David O Mephibosheth and he said here! [is] servant your.
7 達味向他說:「你不要害怕,為了你的父親約納堂,我要恩待你,將你祖父撒烏耳所有的土地全歸還給你;你以後要享用我桌上的食物。」
And he said to him David may not you be afraid for certainly I will do with you covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan father your and I will restore to you all [the] land of Saul father your and you you will eat food on table my continually.
8 他伏首至地叩拜說:「你的僕人算什麼﹖你竟來眷顧像我這樣的一個死狗。」
And he bowed down and he said what? [is] servant your that you have turned to the dog dead who [is] like me.
9 君王把撒烏耳的僕人漆巴召來,向他說:「撒烏耳和他全家所有的一切,我全給了你主人的兒子。
And he summoned the king Ziba [the] servant of Saul and he said to him all that it belonged to Saul and to all household his I have given to [the] son of master your.
10 所以,你和你的兒子以及你的僕役,應為他耕種田地,將收穫供給你主人的家庭作食糧;但你主人的兒子默黎巴耳要常享用我桌上的食物。」漆巴有十五個兒子,二十個僕役。
And you will work for him the land you and sons your and servants your and you will bring and it will be for [the] son of master your food and he will eat it and Mephibosheth [the] son of master your he will eat continually food on table my and [belonged] to Ziba fif-teen sons and twenty servants.
11 漆巴回答君王說:「凡我主大王吩咐你僕人的,你的僕人必全依照遵行。」如此,默黎巴耳享用君王桌上的食物,就如君王的一個兒子。
And he said Ziba to the king according to all that he will command lord my the king servant his so he will do servant your and Mephibosheth [was] eating on table my like one from [the] children of the king.
12 默黎巴耳有個小兒,名叫米加。凡住在漆巴家裏的人,無不服事默黎巴耳。
And [belonged] to Mephibosheth a son young and name his [was] Mica and every resident of [the] house of Ziba [were] servants of Mephibosheth.
13 默黎巴耳常住在耶路撒冷,因為他應常享用君王桌上的食物,只是他的雙腳跛了。
And Mephibosheth [was] dwelling in Jerusalem for on [the] table of the king continually he [was] eating and he ([was] lame *LA(bh)*) [the] two feet his.
