2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
爰にダビデいひけるはサウルの家の遺存れる者尚あるや我ヨナタンの爲に其人に恩惠をほどこさんと
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
サウルの家の僕なるヂバと名くる者ありければかれをダビデの許に召きたるに王かれにいひけるは汝はヂバなるか彼いふ僕是なり
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
王いひけるは尚サウルの家の者あるか我其人に神の恩惠をほどこさんとすヂバ王にいひけるはヨナタンの子尚あり跛足なり
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.
王かれにいひけるは其人は何處にをるやヂバ王にいひけるはロデバルにてアンミエルの子マキルの家にをる
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo–debar.
ダビデ王人を遣はしてロデバルより即ちアンミエルの子マキルの家よりかれを携來らしむ
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテ、ダビデの所に來り伏て拝せりダビデ、メピボセテよといひければ答て僕此にありと曰ふ
7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew 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.
ダビデかれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ我必ず汝の父ヨナタンの爲に恩惠を汝にしめさん我汝の父サウルの地を悉く汝に復すべし又汝は恒に我席において食ふべしと
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
かれ拝して言けるは僕何なればか汝死たる犬のごとき我を眷顧たまふ
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
王サウルの僕ヂバを呼てこれにいひけるは凡てサウルとその家の物は我皆汝の主人の子にあたへたり
10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
汝と汝の子等と汝の僕かれのために地を耕へして汝の主人の子に食ふべき食物を取りきたるべし但し汝の主人の子メピボセテは恒に我席において食ふべしとヂバは十五人の子と二十人の僕あり
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
ヂバ王にいひけるは總て王わが主の僕に命じたまひしごとく僕なすべしとメピボセテは王の子の一人のごとくダビデの席にて食へり
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
メピボセテに一人の若き子あり其名をミカといふヂバの家に住る者は皆メピボセテの僕なりき
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
メピボセテはエルサレムに住みたり其はかれ恒に王の席にて食ひたればなりかれは兩の足ともに跛たる者なり
