2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, “Do you think that there could be anyone left from the house of Saul, so that I might show mercy to him because of Jonathan?”
David loh, “Saul imkhui kah aka sueng te om van pueng nim? Jonathan kong ah anih ham sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a ti.
2 Now there was, from the house of Saul, a servant named Ziba. And when the king had called him to himself, he said to him, “Are you not Ziba?” And he responded, “I am your servant.”
Te vaengah Saul im kah sal, a ming ah Ziba te om. Te dongah anih te David taengla a khue uh tih manghai loh, “Nang a Ziba,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni ue,” a ti nah.
3 And the king said, “Could there be anyone alive from the house of Saul, so that I may show the mercy of God to him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is left alive a son of Jonathan, with disabled feet.”
Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Saul imkhui kah he hlang khaw om pueng pawt nim? Anih taengah Pathen kah sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Jonathan capa kho khaem te om pueng,” a ti nah.
4 “Where is he?” he said. And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.”
Te daengah anih te manghai loh, “Melae anih ta?” a ti nah. Ziba loh manghai te, “Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im ah om ke,” a ti nah.
5 Therefore, king David sent and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Te dongah manghai David loh a tah tih Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im lamloh anih te a loh.
6 And when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell upon his face, and he reverenced. And David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he responded, “Your servant is here.”
Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca Mephibosheth te David taengah ha pawk van neh a mikhmuh ah a bakop pah tih a bawk. Te vaengah David loh, “Mephibosheth,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni he,” a ti nah.
7 And David said to him: “Do not be afraid. For I will certainly show mercy to you because of your father Jonathan. And I will restore to you all the fields of your father Saul. And you shall eat bread at my table always.”
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. Namah te kai kah caboei dongah buh rhawp na caak ni,” a ti nah.
8 And reverencing him, he said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should look with favor upon a dead dog like me?”
Te vaengah Mephibosheth te bakop tih, “Ba aih nim, na sal kai bang ui duek taengla na mael,” a ti nah.
9 And so, the king called Ziba, the servant of Saul, and he said to him: “Everything whatsoever that belonged to Saul, and his entire house, I have given to the son of your lord.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Saul kah tueihyoeih Ziba te a 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.
10 And so, work the land for him, you and your sons and your servants. And you shall bring in food for the son of your lord, for nourishment. And Mephibosheth, the son of your lord, shall always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Namah neh na ca rhoek, na sal rhoek loh khohmuen ah anih hamla thohtat pah lamtah sang pah. 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 ti nah. Te vaengah Ziba taengah capa hlai nga neh sal pakul om.
11 And Ziba said to the king: “Just as my lord has ordered your servant, so will your servant do. And Mephibosheth shall eat at my table, like one of the sons of the king.”
Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Ka boeipa manghai loh a sal a uen vanbangla na sal loh boeih saii tangloeng saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Mephibosheth tah manghai capa pakhat bangla caboei dongah a caak.
12 Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. Truly, all the kindred of the house of Ziba served Mephibosheth.
Te vaengah Mephibosheth taengah a capa a noe, a ming ah Mikha te om. Ziba imkhui kah tolvael boeih tah Mephibosheth kah sal la om uh.
13 But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem. For he was fed always from the table of the king. And he was lame in both feet.
Mephibosheth te Jerusalem ah kho a sak tih manghai caboei dongah caboei buh rhawp a caak. Anih te a kho bok khaem.
