Kings II 9
1 And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's 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 a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Siba? and he said, I [am] your servant.
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 And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame [of] his feet.
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 And the king said, Where [is] he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, [he is] in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar.
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 And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.
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 And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold your servant.
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 And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with you for the sake of Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul the father of your father; and you shall eat 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 Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I your servant, that you have looked upon a dead dog like me?
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 And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of your lord.
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 And you, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him; and you shall bring in bread to the son of your lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of your lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
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 And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
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 And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name [was] Micha: and all the household of Siba [were] servants to Memphibosthe.
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 Memphibosthe lived in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet.
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。
