2 Samuel 9

1 David said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

Ary hoy Davida: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa noho ny amin’ i Jonatana?

2 There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your servant is he."

Ary nisy mpanompon’ ny fianakavian’ i Saoly, Ziba no anarany. Ary nantsoiny hankany amin’ i Davida izy, ka hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Hianao moa no Ziba? Ary hoy izy: Izaho mpanomponao no izy.

3 The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet."

Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa araka ny fanaon’ Andriamanitra? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy zanakalahin’ i Jonatana iray ihany ao, nefa malemy tongotra izy.

4 And the king said, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."

Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy; Aiza anefa izy? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indro izy ao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, ao Lo-debara.

5 Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.

Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka haka azy tao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, tao Lodebara.

6 And Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, "Mippibaal?" And he answered, "Look, your servant."

Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Davida Mefiboseta, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, dia niankohoka sy nitsaoka azy izy. Ary hoy Davida: Mefiboseta! Dia hoy izy: Inty ny mpanomponao.

7 And David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually."

Ary hoy Davida taminy: Aza matahotra, fa hasiako soa tokoa ianao noho ny amin’ i Jonatana rainao, ary hampodiko ho anao ny tany rehetra izay an’ i Saoly rainao, ary ianao hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva.

8 He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"

Dia niankohoka izy ka nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho mpanomponao izay toy ny alika maty, no mba jerenao?

9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master's son.

Dia niantso an’ i Ziba, mpanompon’ i Saoly, ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay rehetra nananan’ i Saoly sy ny mpianakaviny rehetra dia nomeko ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao.

10 You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Koa ianao sy ny zanakaolahy ary ny mpanomponao no hiasa ny tany ho azy ka hanatitra hanin-kohanina ho an’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao; fa Mefiboseta, zanakalahin’ ny tomponao, hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva. Ary Ziba nanana zanakalahy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy mpanompo roa-polo.

11 Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.

Ary hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Araka izay rehetra nandidianao mpanjaka tompoko no hataon’ ny mpanomponao. Fa ny amin’ i Mefiboseta, hoy Davida, dia hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro toy ny anankiray amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy.

12 Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.

Ary Mefiboseta nanan-janakalahy tanora, Mika no anarany. Ary izay rehetra nitoetra tao an-tranon’ i Ziba dia mpanompon’ i Mefiboseta avokoa.

13 So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.

Ary Mefiboseta nonina tany Jerosalema; fa teo amin’ ny latabatry ny mpanjaka no nihinanany mandrakariva; ary nalemy ny tongony roa.
