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?
E disse David: Ha ainda alguem que ficasse da casa de Saul, para que lhe faça beneficencia por amor de Jonathan?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is he.
E havia um servo na casa de Saul cujo nome era Ziba: e o chamaram que viesse a David, e disse-lhe o rei: És tu Ziba? E elle disse: Servo teu.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
E disse o rei: Não ha ainda algum da casa de Saul para que use com elle de beneficencia de Deus? Então disse Ziba ao rei: Ainda ha um filho de Jonathan, aleijado de ambos os pés.
4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
E disse-lhe o rei: Onde está? E disse Ziba ao rei: Eis que está em casa de Machir, filho d'Ammiel, em Lo-debar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Então mandou o rei David, e o tomou da casa de Machir, filho d'Ammiel. de Lo-debar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
E entrando Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, o filho de Saul, a David, se prostrou com o rosto por terra e se inclinou; e disse David: Mephiboseth! E elle disse: Eis aqui teu servo.
7 And David said to him, Fear not: for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.
E disse-lhe David: Não temas, porque decerto usarei comtigo de beneficencia por amor de Jonathan, teu pae, e te restituirei todas as terras de Saul, teu pae, e tu de continuo comerás pão á minha mesa.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?
Então se inclinou, e disse: Quem é teu servo, para tu teres olhado para um cão morto tal como eu
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given to your master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
Então chamou David a Ziba, moço de Saul, e disse-lhe: Tudo o que pertencia a Saul, e de toda a sua casa, tenho dado ao filho de teu senhor.
10 You therefore, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him, and you shall bring in the fruits, that your master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth your master’s son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Trabalhar-lhe-heis pois a terra, tu e teus filhos, e teus servos, e recolherás os fructos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha pão que coma, e Mephiboseth, filho de teu senhor, de continuo comerá pão á minha mesa. E tinha Ziba quinze filhos e vinte servos.
11 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so shall your servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
E disse Ziba ao rei: Conforme a tudo quanto meu senhor, o rei, manda a seu servo, assim fará teu servo; porém Mephiboseth comerá á minha mesa como um dos filhos do rei
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelled in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
E tinha Mephiboseth um filho pequeno, cujo nome era Mica: e todos quantos moravam em casa de Ziba eram servos de Mephiboseth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelled in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
Morava pois Mephiboseth em Jerusalem, porquanto de continuo comia á mesa do rei, e era côxo de ambos os pés.
