2 Samuel 9

1 And David said: 'Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?'

Ary hoy Davida: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa noho ny amin’ i Jonatana?

2 Now there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him: 'Art thou Ziba?' And he said: 'Thy servant is he.'

Ary nisy mpanompon’ ny fianakavian’ i Saoly, Ziba no anarany. Ary nantsoiny hankany amin’ i Davida izy, ka hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Hianao moa no Ziba? Ary hoy izy: Izaho mpanomponao no izy.

3 And the king said: 'Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame on his feet.'

Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa araka ny fanaon’ Andriamanitra? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy zanakalahin’ i Jonatana iray ihany ao, nefa malemy tongotra izy.

4 And the king said unto him: 'Where is he?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.'

Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy; Aiza anefa izy? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indro izy ao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, ao Lo-debara.

5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka haka azy tao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, tao Lodebara.

6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and prostrated himself. And David said: 'Mephibosheth!' And he answered: 'Behold thy servant!'

Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Davida Mefiboseta, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, dia niankohoka sy nitsaoka azy izy. Ary hoy Davida: Mefiboseta! Dia hoy izy: Inty ny mpanomponao.

7 And David said unto him: 'Fear not; for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.'

Ary hoy Davida taminy: Aza matahotra, fa hasiako soa tokoa ianao noho ny amin’ i Jonatana rainao, ary hampodiko ho anao ny tany rehetra izay an’ i Saoly rainao, ary ianao hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva.

8 And he bowed down, and said: 'What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?'

Dia niankohoka izy ka nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho mpanomponao izay toy ny alika maty, no mba jerenao?

9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him: 'All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master's son.

Dia niantso an’ i Ziba, mpanompon’ i Saoly, ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay rehetra nananan’ i Saoly sy ny mpianakaviny rehetra dia nomeko ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao.

10 And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread continually at my table.' Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Koa ianao sy ny zanakaolahy ary ny mpanomponao no hiasa ny tany ho azy ka hanatitra hanin-kohanina ho an’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao; fa Mefiboseta, zanakalahin’ ny tomponao, hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva. Ary Ziba nanana zanakalahy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy mpanompo roa-polo.

11 Then said Ziba unto the king: 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do; but Mephibosheth eateth at my table as one of the king's sons.'

Ary hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Araka izay rehetra nandidianao mpanjaka tompoko no hataon’ ny mpanomponao. Fa ny amin’ i Mefiboseta, hoy Davida, dia hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro toy ny anankiray amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy.

12 Now Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.

Ary Mefiboseta nanan-janakalahy tanora, Mika no anarany. Ary izay rehetra nitoetra tao an-tranon’ i Ziba dia mpanompon’ i Mefiboseta avokoa.

13 But Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table; and he was lame on both his feet.

Ary Mefiboseta nonina tany Jerosalema; fa teo amin’ ny latabatry ny mpanjaka no nihinanany mandrakariva; ary nalemy ny tongony roa.
