2 Samuel 9

1 And David saith, 'Is there yet any left to the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?'

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

2 And the house of Saul hath a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him unto David; and the king saith unto him, 'Art thou Ziba?' and he saith, 'Thy servant.'

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 And the king saith, 'Is there not yet a man to the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?' And Ziba saith unto the king, 'Jonathan hath yet a son — lame.'

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 saith to him, 'Where [is] he?' and Ziba saith unto the king, 'Lo, he [is] in the house of Machir, 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 And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-Debar,

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

6 and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, cometh unto David, and falleth on his face, and doth obeisance, and David saith, 'Mephibosheth;' and he saith, 'Lo, thy 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 saith to him, 'Be not afraid; for I certainly do with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou dost 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 And he boweth himself, and saith, 'What [is] thy servant, that thou hast turned unto the dead dog — such as I?'

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

9 And the king calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith unto him, 'All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of thy lord,

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 and thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons, and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my table;' and Ziba hath 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 And Ziba saith unto the king, 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so doth thy servant;' as to Mephibosheth, 'he is eating at my table ([saith the king]) as one of the sons of the king.'

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 And Mephibosheth hath a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and every one dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.

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

13 And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for at the table of the king he is eating continually, and he [is] lame of his two feet.

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