2 Samuel 9
1 And David says, “Is there yet any left of the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?”
大卫问说：“扫罗家还有剩下的人没有？我要因约拿单的缘故向他施恩。”
2 And the house of Saul has a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him to David; and the king says to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he says, “Your servant.”
扫罗家有一个仆人，名叫洗巴，有人叫他来见大卫，王问他说：“你是洗巴吗？”回答说：“仆人是。”
3 And the king says, “Is there not yet a man of the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?” And Ziba says to the king, “Jonathan has yet a son—lame.”
王说：“扫罗家还有人没有？我要照 神的慈爱恩待他。”洗巴对王说：“还有约拿单的一个儿子，是瘸腿的。”
4 And the king says to him, “Where [is] he?” And Ziba says to the king, “Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Behold-Debar.”
王说：“他在哪里？”洗巴对王说：“他在罗·底巴，亚米利的儿子玛吉家里。”
5 And King David sends, and takes him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Behold-Debar,
于是大卫王打发人去，从罗·底巴、亚米利的儿子玛吉家里召了他来。
6 and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, comes to David, and falls on his face, and pays respect, and David says, “Mephibosheth”; and he says, “Behold, your servant.”
扫罗的孙子、约拿单的儿子米非波设来见大卫，伏地叩拜。大卫说：“米非波设！”米非波设说：“仆人在此。”
7 And David says to him, “Do not be afraid; for I certainly do with you kindness because of your father Jonathan, and have given back to you all the field of your father Saul, and you continually eat bread at my table.”
大卫说：“你不要惧怕，我必因你父亲约拿单的缘故施恩与你，将你祖父扫罗的一切田地都归还你；你也可以常与我同席吃饭。”
8 And he bows himself and says, “What [is] your servant, that you have turned to the dead dog—such as I?”
米非波设又叩拜，说：“仆人算什么，不过如死狗一般，竟蒙王这样眷顾！”
9 And the king calls to Ziba servant of Saul and says to him, “All that was of Saul and of all his house, I have given to the son of your lord,
王召了扫罗的仆人洗巴来，对他说：“我已将属扫罗和他的一切家产都赐给你主人的儿子了。
10 and you have served the land for him, you and your sons, and your servants, and have brought in, and there has been bread for the son of your lord, and he has eaten it; and Mephibosheth, son of your lord, continually eats bread at my table”; and Ziba has fifteen sons and twenty servants.
你和你的众子、仆人要为你主人的儿子米非波设耕种田地，把所产的拿来供他食用；他却要常与我同席吃饭。”洗巴有十五个儿子，二十个仆人。
11 And Ziba says to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant does.” “As for Mephibosheth,” [says the king, ] “he is eating at my table as one of the sons of the king.”
洗巴对王说：“凡我主我王吩咐仆人的，仆人都必遵行。”王又说：“米非波设必与我同席吃饭，如王的儿子一样。”
12 And Mephibosheth has a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and everyone dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.
米非波设有一个小儿子，名叫米迦。凡住在洗巴家里的人都作了米非波设的仆人。
13 And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for he is continually eating at the table of the king, and he [is] lame [in] his two feet.
于是米非波设住在耶路撒冷，常与王同席吃饭。他两腿都是瘸的。
