2 Samuel 9
1 And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan’s sake?
Yon jou, David mande: -Pa rete yon moun menm nan fanmi Sayil la? Si genyen, mwen ta renmen aji byen avè l' poutèt Jonatan.
2 Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant.
Te gen yon domestik ki t'ap travay lakay Sayil ki te rele Ziba. Yo fè chache l', yo mennen l' bay wa a. Wa a mande l': -Se ou menm nonm yo rele Ziba a? Li reponn: -Wi, monwa. Mwen la pou m' sèvi ou.
3 And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet.
Wa a mande l': -Pa gen yon moun ki rete nan fanmi Sayil la, pou m' ka fè kichòy pou li jan mwen te pwomèt sa devan Bondye? Ziba reponn li: -Wi, gen yonn nan pitit gason Jonatan yo ki vivan toujou. Men, li enfim nan tou de pye l' yo.
4 Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar.
Wa a mande l': -Kote l' ye? Ziba reponn: -Li kay Maki, pitit gason Amiyèl la, lavil Lodeba.
5 Then king David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.
Se konsa, David voye chache l'.
6 And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant.
Lè Mefibochèt, pitit Jonatan, pitit pitit Sayil la, rive, li mete ajenou, li bese tèt li rive atè devan David. David di l' konsa: -Mefibochèt? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, monwa. M' la pou m' sèvi ou.
7 And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.
David di l' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pral aji byen avè ou poutèt Jonatan, papa ou. M'ap renmèt ou tout tè ki te pou Sayil, granpapa ou. Lèfini, chak jou w'a vin manje sou tab avè m'.
8 He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Mefibochèt bese tèt li byen ba ankò, li di: -Monwa, poukisa w'ap okipe yon vye chen tou mouri tankou mwen?
9 Then the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master’s son.
Lè sa a, wa a rele Ziba, domestik Sayil la, li di l' konsa: -Mwen renmèt Mefibochèt, pitit pitit gason mèt ou a, tou sa ki te pou Sayil ak fanmi l'.
10 Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master’s son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Ou men, ansanm ak pitit gason ou yo ak moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, nou pral travay tè a pou li. W'a pote rekòt la ba li pou rès fanmi l' ka jwenn manje pou yo manje. Men, Mefibochèt li menm ap toujou vin manje chak jou sou tab avè m'. Ziba te gen kenz pitit gason ak ven moun k'ap sèvi l'.
11 And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the king.
Ziba reponn li: -M'ap fè tou sa monwa ban m' lòd fè. Se konsa, Mefibochèt toujou manje sou tab ansanm ak David tankou si li te yonn nan pitit wa a.
12 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.
Mefibochèt te gen yon pitit gason ki te piti joujou. Li te rele Mika. Tout moun ki te rete kay Ziba t'ap travay pou Mefibochèt.
13 But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king’s table: and he was lame of both feet.
Se konsa, Mefibochèt ki te enfim nan tou de pye l' yo rete lavil Jerizalèm. Li t'ap manje chak jou sou tab ansanm ak wa a.
