< 撒母耳記下 9 >

1 大衛問說:「掃羅家還有剩下的人沒有?我要因約拿單的緣故向他施恩。」
UDavida wabuza wathi, “Kambe angabe ekhona yini osaseleyo endlini kaSawuli engingabonakalisa umusa wami kuye ngenxa kaJonathani na?”
2 掃羅家有一個僕人,名叫洗巴,有人叫他來見大衛,王問他說:「你是洗巴嗎?」回答說:「僕人是。」
Ngalesosikhathi kwakulenceku yendlu kaSawuli eyayithiwa nguZibha. Bambiza ukuba abonane loDavida, inkosi yasisithi kuye, “Wena unguye uZibha na?” Waphendula wathi, “Yimi inceku yakho.”
3 王說:「掃羅家還有人沒有?我要照上帝的慈愛恩待他。」洗巴對王說:「還有約拿單的一個兒子,是瘸腿的。」
Inkosi yabuza yathi, “Kakho yini osaseleyo endlini kaSawuli engingabonakalisa kuye umusa kaNkulunkulu na?” UZibha wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Isesekhona indodana kaJonathani; igogekile inyawo zombili.”
4 王說:「他在哪裏?」洗巴對王說:「他在羅‧底巴,亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏。」
Inkosi yabuza yathi, “Ungaphi?” UZibha waphendula wathi, “Usendlini kaMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli eLo-Debhari.”
5 於是大衛王打發人去,從羅‧底巴亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏召了他來。
Ngakho inkosi uDavida wathumela ukuba ayethathwa eLo-Debhari endlini kaMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli.
6 掃羅的孫子、約拿單的兒子米非波設來見大衛,伏地叩拜。大衛說:「米非波設!」米非波設說:「僕人在此。」
Kwathi uMefibhoshethi indodana kaJonathani, indodana kaSawuli, esefikile kuDavida, wakhothamela phansi emhlonipha. UDavida wasesithi, “Mefibhoshethi!” Waphendula wathi, “Yimi inceku yakho.”
7 大衛說:「你不要懼怕,我必因你父親約拿單的緣故施恩與你,將你祖父掃羅的一切田地都歸還你;你也可以常與我同席吃飯。」
UDavida wathi kuye, “Ungesabi, ngoba impela ngizakutshengisa umusa ngenxa kayihlo uJonathani. Ngizawubuyisela kuwe wonke umhlaba owawungokayihlomkhulu uSawuli, njalo wena uzakudla etafuleni lami kokuphela.”
8 米非波設又叩拜,說:「僕人算甚麼,不過如死狗一般,竟蒙王這樣眷顧!」
UMefibhoshethi wakhothama wathi, “Inceku yakho iyini na, ukuba unake inja efileyo njengami nje?”
9 王召了掃羅的僕人洗巴來,對他說:「我已將屬掃羅和他的一切家產都賜給你主人的兒子了。
UDavida wabiza uZibha, inceku kaSawuli, wathi kuye, “Indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho sengiyinike konke okwakungokuka Sawuli labendlu yakhe.
10 你和你的眾子、僕人要為你主人的兒子米非波設耕種田地,把所產的拿來供他食用;他卻要常與我同席吃飯。」洗巴有十五個兒子,二十個僕人。
Wena lamadodana akho lezinceku zakho lizamlimela amasimu lilethe amabele ukuze indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho ibe lokudla. Njalo uMefibhoshethi indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho, izakudla etafuleni lami kokuphela.” (UZibha lo wayelamadodana alitshumi lanhlanu kanye lezinceku ezingamatshumi amabili.)
11 洗巴對王說:「凡我主我王吩咐僕人的,僕人都必遵行。」王又說:「米非波設必與我同席吃飯,如王的兒子一樣。」
UZibha wasesithi enkosini, “Inceku yakho izakwenza loba kuyini umhlekazi wami inkosi elaya inceku yayo ukuba ikwenze.” Ngakho uMefibhoshethi wadla etafuleni likaDavida njengomunye wamadodana enkosi.
12 米非波設有一個小兒子,名叫米迦。凡住在洗巴家裏的人都作了米非波設的僕人。
UMefibhoshethi wayelendodana esengumfanyana eyayithiwa nguMikha, njalo bonke abendlu kaZibha babezinceku zikaMefibhoshethi.
13 於是米非波設住在耶路撒冷,常與王同席吃飯。他兩腿都是瘸的。
Njalo uMefibhoshethi wayehlala eJerusalema, edlela etafuleni lenkosi kokuphela, njalo egogekile inyawo zombili.
