< 2 Samuel 9 >

1 And Dauid seide, Whether ony man is, that lefte of the hows of Saul, that Y do mercy with hym for Jonathas?
大衛問說:「掃羅家還有剩下的人沒有?我要因約拿單的緣故向他施恩。」
2 Forsothe a seruaunt, Siba bi name, was of the hous of Saul; whom whanne the kyng hadde clepid to hym silf, `the kyng seide to hym, Whethir thou art not Siba? And he answeride, Y am thi seruaunt.
掃羅家有一個僕人,名叫洗巴,有人叫他來見大衛,王問他說:「你是洗巴嗎?」回答說:「僕人是。」
3 And the kyng seide, Whether ony man lyueth of the hows of Saul, that Y do with hym the mercy of God? And Siba seide to the kyng, A sone of Jonathas lyueth, feble in the feet.
王說:「掃羅家還有人沒有?我要照上帝的慈愛恩待他。」洗巴對王說:「還有約拿單的一個兒子,是瘸腿的。」
4 The kyng seide, Where is he? And Siba seide to the kyng, Lo! he is in the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, in Lodabar.
王說:「他在哪裏?」洗巴對王說:「他在羅‧底巴,亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏。」
5 Therfor `Dauid the kyng sente, and took hym fro the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, fro Lodobar.
於是大衛王打發人去,從羅‧底巴亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏召了他來。
6 Forsothe whanne Myphibosech, the sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, hadde come to Dauid, he felde in to his face, and worschipide. And Dauid seide, Myphibosech! Which answeride, Y am present, thi seruaunt.
掃羅的孫子、約拿單的兒子米非波設來見大衛,伏地叩拜。大衛說:「米非波設!」米非波設說:「僕人在此。」
7 And Dauid seide to hym, Drede thou not, for Y doynge schal do mersi to thee for Jonathas, thi fadir; and Y schal restore to thee alle the feeldis of Saul, thi fadir, and thou schalt ete breed in my boord euere.
大衛說:「你不要懼怕,我必因你父親約拿單的緣故施恩與你,將你祖父掃羅的一切田地都歸還你;你也可以常與我同席吃飯。」
8 Which worschipide him, and seide, Who am Y, thi seruaunt, for thou hast biholde on a deed dogge lijk me?
米非波設又叩拜,說:「僕人算甚麼,不過如死狗一般,竟蒙王這樣眷顧!」
9 Therfor the kyng clepide Siba, the child of Saul; and seide to hym, Y haue youe to the sone of thi lord alle thingis, which euer weren of Saul, and al the hows of hym;
王召了掃羅的僕人洗巴來,對他說:「我已將屬掃羅和他的一切家產都賜給你主人的兒子了。
10 therfor worche thou the lond to hym, thou, and thi sones, and thi seruauntis, and thou schalt brynge in meetis to the sone of thi lord, that he be fed; forsothe Myphibosech, sone of thi lord, schal ete euer breed on my bord. Sotheli fiftene sones and twenti seruauntis weren to Siba.
你和你的眾子、僕人要為你主人的兒子米非波設耕種田地,把所產的拿來供他食用;他卻要常與我同席吃飯。」洗巴有十五個兒子,二十個僕人。
11 And Siba seyde to the kyng, As thou, my lord kyng, hast comaundid to thi seruaunt, so thi seruaunt schal do; and Myphibosech, as oon of the sones of the kyng, schal ete on thi boord.
洗巴對王說:「凡我主我王吩咐僕人的,僕人都必遵行。」王又說:「米非波設必與我同席吃飯,如王的兒子一樣。」
12 Forsothe Myphibosech hadde a litil sone, Mycha bi name; sotheli al the meyne of the hows of Siba seruyde Myphibosech.
米非波設有一個小兒子,名叫米迦。凡住在洗巴家裏的人都作了米非波設的僕人。
13 Forsothe Myphibosech dwellide in Jerusalem; for he eet contynueli of the kingis boord, and was crokid on either foot.
於是米非波設住在耶路撒冷,常與王同席吃飯。他兩腿都是瘸的。
