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?”
David sagde: "Er der endnu nogen tilbage af Sauls Hus? Så vil jeg vise Godhed imod ham for Jonatans Skyld!"
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.”
Nu var der i Sauls Hus en Træl ved Navn Ziba; han blev kaldt op til David, og Kongen sagde til ham:"Er du Ziba?" Han svarede: "Ja, det er din Træl!"
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.”
Da sagde Kongen: "Er der ingen tilbage af Sauls Hus? Så vil jeg vise Guds Godhed imod ham." Ziba svarede Kongen: "Der lever endnu en Søn af Jonatan; han er lam i Fødderne."
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.”
Da spurgte Kongen: "Hvor er han?" Og Ziba svarede Kongen: "Han er i Makirs, Ammiels Søns, Hus i Lodebar."
5 And King David sends, and takes him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Behold-Debar,
Så lod Kong David ham hente i Makirs, Ammiels Søns, Hus i Lodebar.
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.”
Da Mefibosjet, Sauls Søn Jonatans Søn, kom ind til David, faldt han på sit Ansigt og bøjede sig. David sagde: "Mefibosjet!" Han svarede: "Ja, her er din Træl!"
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.”
David sagde til ham: "Frygt ikke! Jeg vil vise dig Godhed for din Fader Jonatans Skyld og give dig hele din Fader Sauls Jordegods tilbage; og du skal altid spise ved mit Bord."
8 And he bows himself and says, “What [is] your servant, that you have turned to the dead dog—such as I?”
Da bøjede han sig og sagde: "Hvad er din Træl, siden du tager Hensyn til en død Hund som mig?"
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,
Derpå lod Kongen Sauls Tjener Ziba kalde og sagde til ham: "Alt, hvad der tilhørte Saul og hele hans Hus, har jeg givet din Herres Søn;
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.
men du tillige med dine Sønner og Trælle skal dyrke Jorden og indhøste Afgrøden, for at din Herres Hus kan have sit Underhold deraf; men din Herres Søn Mefibosjet skal altid spise ved mit Bord." Ziba havde femten Sønner og tyve Trælle.
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.”
Da sagde Ziba til Kongen: "Din Træl vil gøre, ganske som min Herre Kongen byder!" Mefibosjet spiste så ved Davids Bord, som var han en af Kongens Sønner.
12 And Mephibosheth has a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and everyone dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.
Mefibosjet havde en lille Søn ved Navn Mika. Hele Zibas Husstand var Mefibosjets Trælle.
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.
Og Mefibosjet boede i Jerusalem, thi han spiste altid ved Kongens Bord. Og han var lam i begge Fødder.
