2 Samuel 9
1 And Dauid sayde, Is there yet any man left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him mercie for Ionathans sake?
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。」
2 And there was of the housholde of Saul a seruant whose name was Ziba, and when they had called him vnto Dauid, the King sayd vnto him, Art thou Ziba? And he sayd, I thy seruant am he.
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。」
3 Then the King sayd, Remayneth there yet none of the house of Saul, on whome I may shewe the mercie of God? Ziba then answered the King, Ionathan hath yet a sonne lame of his feete.
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。」
4 Then the King said vnto him, Where is he? And Ziba said vnto the King, Behold, he is in the house of Machir ye sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
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。」
5 Then King Dauid sent, and tooke him out of the house of Machir the sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
達味派人從羅德巴爾，阿米耳的兒子瑪基爾家裏把他接來。
6 Nowe when Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Saul was come vnto Dauid, he fel on his face, and did reuerence. And Dauid sayde, Mephibosheth? And he answered, Beholde thy seruant.
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。」
7 Then Dauid sayd vnto him, Feare not: for I wil surely shewe thee kindnes for Ionathan thy fathers sake, and will restore thee all the fieldes of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eate bread at my table continually.
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。」
8 And he bowed himselfe and sayd, What is thy seruant, that thou shouldest looke vpon such a dead dog as I am?
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。」
9 Then the king called Ziba Sauls seruant, and said vnto him, I haue giue vnto thy masters sonne all that perteined to Saul and to all his house.
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。
10 Thou therefore and thy sonnes and thy seruantes shall till the lande for him, and bring in that thy masters sonne may haue foode to eate. And Mephibosheth thy masters sonne shall eate bread alway at my table (nowe Ziba had fifteene sonnes, and twentie seruants)
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。
11 Then sayd Ziba vnto the King, According to all that my lord the King hath commaded his seruant, so shall thy seruat do, that Mephibosheth may eate at my table, as one of the Kings sonnes.
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。
12 Mephibosheth also had a yong sonne named Micha, and all that dwelled in the house of Ziba, were seruants vnto Mephibosheth.
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。
13 And Mephibosheth dwelt in Ierusalem: for he did eate continually at the Kings table, and was lame on both his feete.
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。
