2 Samuel 9
1 One day David asked, “Is there anyone who is a descendant of Saul to whom I can be kind?” He asked this because he wanted to honor Jonathan.
“Nikhat David in adongin, Saul insung mite khat beh ahing naum nalai’u vem? Jonathan jal'a keiman khutona kamusah thei ding tin adongin ahile,
2 [They told him that] there was [in Jerusalem] a man named Ziba who had been a servant of Saul’s family. So [David sent messengers to summon Ziba. When he arrived], the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, I am.”
Saul insunga soh natong ho lah a mi khat anaum khan ama chu amin Ziba akiti; Hichun lengpan jong amapa chu adongin, “Nang hi Ziba nahi hinam?” tin adongin ahileh. Hichun Ziba in jong adonbut in“Henge keima Ziba chu kahinai,” ati.
3 The king asked him, “Is there anyone in Saul’s family to whom I can be kind, [as I promised Jonathan that I would do]?” Ziba replied, “Yes, there is one son of Jonathan who is still [alive]. His feet are crippled.”
Chuin lengpan adongin, “Saul insung mi khat beh ahingdoh um nalailou ham? Aum leh, keiman Pathen mi khutona chu kamusah nom uve atileh; Ziban jong lengpa ahindonbut in, henge, “Jonathan chapa khat aum nan, ama hi akengphang te ni chatmoa kibai ahi,” atipeh e.
4 The king asked him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied, “He is [living] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar [city east of the Jordan River].”
Chuphat in lengpan jong, “Ama chu hoiya umham?” tin ahin dong tan ahileh; Ziban lengpa chu aseipeh in, “Ama chu Lodebar khoa Ammiel chapa Makir In a um ahi,” ati.
5 So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
Hichun David lengpan mi asolin, ama chu Makir In na konin agapuidoh sah tai.
6 When Mephibosheth came to David, he knelt down with his face on the ground, to show respect. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, how may I serve you?”
Hiti hin Saul tupa Jonathan chapa Mephibosheth kitipa chu David koma ahungin alu kunin jana apen ahi. Chuin David chun ahoupin, “Mephibosheth atileh; aman jong, “keima nasohpa kahi,” tin adonbut’e.
7 David said to him, “Do not be afraid; I will be kind to you because Jonathan your father [was my loyal friend]. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul. And [I want] you to always eat with me at my house [MTY].”
Hichun David’in akoma hitin aseiye, “Kicha hih in, keiman napa Jonathan jal a nanghi kakhoto ding, chujongle khatvei napu Saul neilegou anahikhasa jouse chu aboncha nangma kapeh kit ding nahi; chule nangman hiche leng ankong phunga hi keima toh an naneh khom ding ahiye,” ati.
8 Mephibosheth bowed [in front of David again] and said, “Sir, I am [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog; I do not deserve [RHQ] that you be kind to me!”
Hichun Mephibosheth jong chun jana ape kit’in aseikit’e, “Nasohpa kei hi ipi kahiya nangin hiche uicha thisa tobang chunga hi khutona neimusah khoh ding ham?” atitai.
9 Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “Saul was your master; now I am giving to Mephibosheth everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
David lengpan Saul sohpa Ziba chu akouvin akoma hitin aseipeh’e, “Ipi hijongle Saul thilkeo anei jouse leh ama insung mite nei jouse chu aboncha hiche napu chapa hi kapeh ahitai.
10 You and your 15 sons and your 20 servants must till/plow the land for Mephibosheth’s [family], and [plant crops] and harvest them, in order that they will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth will eat food with me at my house.”
Hijeh a chu napu chapa hin anneh akimu jouna dinga nangma le nachapate, chule nasohten ama dinga lou nabol peh dingu ahin, alousoh ga nahin poh pehji dingu ahi; ahin hiche Mephibosheth napu tupa vang hin keima ankong phunga an aneh jing jeng ding ahi,” tin thu apetai. Ziba kitipa hin chapa som le nga ananeiyin, soh jong som ni jen aneiyin ahi.
11 Ziba replied to the king, “Your majesty, I will do everything that you have commanded me to do.” So [after that], Mephibosheth always ate at the king’s table, as though he were one of the king’s sons.
Chuin Ziba in lengpa koma aseijin, “Kapu lengpan nasohpa keima neithupeh bang bang chun nasohpa hin gabol nange,” ati. Hiti chun hiche nikho apet chun Mephobisheth hin lengpa chate lah a khatpen bang in David ankong phunga chun an anejing jeng tan ahi.
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All of Ziba’s family became servants of Mephibosheth.
Mephibosheth jong hin chapa gollhang khat aneiyin, amin jong chu Mica ahi. Chunikho apet chun Mephibosheth soh natong din Ziba insung mite abonchan apang tauvin ahi.
13 And Mephibosheth, who was still crippled in both of his feet, started to live in Jerusalem, and he always ate (at the king’s table/with the king).
Hiti hin Mephibosheth akengphang te ni kibai pachu Jerusalem a achangin, chule aniseh in leng ankong ah an anejing tan ahi.
