2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
E disse David: Ha ainda alguem que ficasse da casa de Saul, para que lhe faça beneficencia por amor de Jonathan?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
E havia um servo na casa de Saul cujo nome era Ziba: e o chamaram que viesse a David, e disse-lhe o rei: És tu Ziba? E elle disse: Servo teu.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame in his feet.
E disse o rei: Não ha ainda algum da casa de Saul para que use com elle de beneficencia de Deus? Então disse Ziba ao rei: Ainda ha um filho de Jonathan, aleijado de ambos os pés.
4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
E disse-lhe o rei: Onde está? E disse Ziba ao rei: Eis que está em casa de Machir, filho d'Ammiel, em Lo-debar.
5 Then king David sent, and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Então mandou o rei David, e o tomou da casa de Machir, filho d'Ammiel. de Lo-debar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
E entrando Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, o filho de Saul, a David, se prostrou com o rosto por terra e se inclinou; e disse David: Mephiboseth! E elle disse: Eis aqui teu servo.
7 And David said to him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
E disse-lhe David: Não temas, porque decerto usarei comtigo de beneficencia por amor de Jonathan, teu pae, e te restituirei todas as terras de Saul, teu pae, e tu de continuo comerás pão á minha mesa.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Então se inclinou, e disse: Quem é teu servo, para tu teres olhado para um cão morto tal como eu
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given to thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
Então chamou David a Ziba, moço de Saul, e disse-lhe: Tudo o que pertencia a Saul, e de toda a sua casa, tenho dado ao filho de teu senhor.
10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Trabalhar-lhe-heis pois a terra, tu e teus filhos, e teus servos, e recolherás os fructos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha pão que coma, e Mephiboseth, filho de teu senhor, de continuo comerá pão á minha mesa. E tinha Ziba quinze filhos e vinte servos.
11 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
E disse Ziba ao rei: Conforme a tudo quanto meu senhor, o rei, manda a seu servo, assim fará teu servo; porém Mephiboseth comerá á minha mesa como um dos filhos do rei
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
E tinha Mephiboseth um filho pequeno, cujo nome era Mica: e todos quantos moravam em casa de Ziba eram servos de Mephiboseth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king’s table; and was lame in both his feet.
Morava pois Mephiboseth em Jerusalem, porquanto de continuo comia á mesa do rei, e era côxo de ambos os pés.
