< 2 Samuel 9 >

1 And David said, Is there yet one left unto the house of Saul, —that I may show him lovingkindness, for the sake of, Jonathan?
David loh, “Saul imkhui kah aka sueng te om van pueng nim? Jonathan kong ah anih ham sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a ti.
2 Now, unto the house of Saul, belonged 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!
Te vaengah Saul im kah sal, a ming ah Ziba te om. Te dongah anih te David taengla a khue uh tih manghai loh, “Nang a Ziba,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni ue,” a ti nah.
3 Then said the king—Is there never a man remaining unto the house of Saul, that I may show him the lovingkindness of God? And Ziba said unto the king, There remaineth a son unto Jonathan, lame in his feet.
Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Saul imkhui kah he hlang khaw om pueng pawt nim? Anih taengah Pathen kah sitlohnah ka saii mako,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Jonathan capa kho khaem te om pueng,” a ti nah.
4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Lo! he, is in the house of Machir son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
Te daengah anih te manghai loh, “Melae anih ta?” a ti nah. Ziba loh manghai te, “Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im ah om ke,” a ti nah.
5 Then sent King David, —and fetched him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
Te dongah manghai David loh a tah tih Lodebar kah Ammiel capa Makir im lamloh anih te a loh.
6 Now, when Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came in unto David, he fell on his face and did homage. And David said, Mephibosheth? And he said, Lo! thy servant.
Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca Mephibosheth te David taengah ha pawk van neh a mikhmuh ah a bakop pah tih a bawk. Te vaengah David loh, “Mephibosheth,” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal ni he,” a ti nah.
7 And David said to him—Do not fear, for I will, indeed shew, thee lovingkindness, for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and will restore unto thee all the land of Saul thy father, —but, thou thyself, shall eat bread at my table, continually.
Te vaengah anih te David loh, “Rhih boeh, na pa Jonathan kong ah sitlohnah he nang taengah ka saii rhoe ka saii ni. Na pa Saul kah khohmuen boeih te namah taengla kam mael ni. Namah te kai kah caboei dongah buh rhawp na caak ni,” a ti nah.
8 And he did homage, and said—What is thy servant, —that thou hast turned towards such a dead dog as I?
Te vaengah Mephibosheth te bakop tih, “Ba aih nim, na sal kai bang ui duek taengla na mael,” a ti nah.
9 Then the king called for Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, —All that pertained unto Saul and unto all his house, have I given unto the son of thy lord:
Te phoeiah manghai loh Saul kah tueihyoeih Ziba te a khue tih, “Saul neh a imkhui boeih kah a koe la aka om boeih te tah na boeipa kah a capa taengah ka paek coeng.
10 therefore shalt thou till for him the ground, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, and shalt bring in, so that thy lord’s son may have bread to eat, but, Mephibosheth, thy lord’s son, shall continually eat bread at my table. Now, Ziba, had fifteen sons, and twenty servants.
Namah neh na ca rhoek, na sal rhoek loh khohmuen ah anih hamla thohtat pah lamtah sang pah. Te vaengah na boeipa kah a capa ham caak om pah saeh lamtah anih loh ca saeh. Tedae na boeipa kah a capa Mephibosheth tah kamah kah caboei dongah buh rhawp ca saeh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Ziba taengah capa hlai nga neh sal pakul om.
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king shall command his servant, so, will thy servant do, —but, Mephibosheth, is to eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
Ziba loh manghai taengah, “Ka boeipa manghai loh a sal a uen vanbangla na sal loh boeih saii tangloeng saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Mephibosheth tah manghai capa pakhat bangla caboei dongah a caak.
12 Now, Mephibosheth, had a little son, whose name, was Micha. And, all that dwelt in the house of Ziba, were servants unto Mephibosheth.
Te vaengah Mephibosheth taengah a capa a noe, a ming ah Mikha te om. Ziba imkhui kah tolvael boeih tah Mephibosheth kah sal la om uh.
13 So, Mephibosheth, dwelt in Jerusalem, for, at the table of the king, continually, had he to eat, —he being lame, in both his feet.
Mephibosheth te Jerusalem ah kho a sak tih manghai caboei dongah caboei buh rhawp a caak. Anih te a kho bok khaem.
