2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because of Jonathan?
Konsa, David te di: “Èske genyen toujou yon moun ki te rete pou lakay Saül, pou m ta kab montre li favè pou koz Jonathan?”
2 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.
Alò, te genyen yon sèvitè lakay Saül ki te rele Tsiba. Konsa yo te rele li kote David, e wa a te di li: “Èske ou se Tsiba?” Epi li te reponn: “Men sèvitè ou.”
3 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.
Wa a te di: “Èske pa gen moun toujou lakay Saül pou mwen ta kab montre favè Bondye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Genyen toujou yon fis a Jonathan ki kokobe nan tou de pye li.”
4 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.
Konsa, wa a te di li: “Se kibò li ye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Gade byen, li nan kay Makir a, fis Ammiel la nan Lodebar.”
5 Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.
Epi Wa David te voye mennen li soti lakay Makir, fis a Ammiel la nan Lodebar.
6 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.
Méphiboscheth, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Saül, te vini a David. Li te tonbe sou figi li bese atè nèt. Epi David te di: “Méphiboscheth?” Epi li te di: “Men mwen, sèvitè ou!”
7 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.
David te di li: “Pa pè, paske anverite, mwen va montre ou ladousè pou koz papa ou, Jonathan, e mwen va restore a ou menm tout tè a granpapa ou, Saül. Epi, konsa, ou va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.”
8 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?
Ankò, li te bese atè, e te di: “Se kisa ke sèvitè ou ye pou ou ta dwe gade yon chen mouri tankou mwen?”
9 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.
Konsa, wa a te rele sèvitè a Saül la, Tsiba. Li te di li: “Tout sa ki te pou Saül ak pou lakay li yo, mwen te vin bay yo a gran pitit a mèt ou a.
10 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.
Ou menm avèk fis ou yo avèk sèvitè ou yo va kiltive tè a pou li, e ou va rekòlte jis pou pitit a mèt ou a kapab genyen manje. Sepandan, Méphiboscheth, gran fis a mèt ou a, va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.” Alò, Tsiba te gen kenz fis ak ven sèvitè.
11 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.
Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Selon tout sa ke mèt mwen, wa a, kòmande sèvitè li a, konsa sèvitè ou a va fè.” Konsa, Méphiboscheth te manje sou tab David la, tankou youn nan fis a wa yo.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
Méphiboscheth te gen yon jèn fis ki te rele Mica. Epi tout sila ki te rete lakay Tsiba yo te sèvitè a Méphiboscheth.
13 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.
Konsa, Méphiboscheth te rete Jérusalem, paske li te manje sou tab a wa a tout tan. Alò, li te kokobe nan toude pye li.
