2 Samyèl 9
1 Konsa, David te di: “Èske genyen toujou yon moun ki te rete pou lakay Saül, pou m ta kab montre li favè pou koz Jonathan?”
And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's sake?
2 Alò, te genyen yon sèvitè lakay Saül ki te rele Tsiba. Konsa yo te rele li kote David, e wa a te di li: “Èske ou se Tsiba?” Epi li te reponn: “Men sèvitè ou.”
And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Art thou Siba? and he said, I [am] thy servant.
3 Wa a te di: “Èske pa gen moun toujou lakay Saül pou mwen ta kab montre favè Bondye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Genyen toujou yon fis a Jonathan ki kokobe nan tou de pye li.”
And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame [of] his feet.
4 Konsa, wa a te di li: “Se kibò li ye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Gade byen, li nan kay Makir a, fis Ammiel la nan Lodebar.”
And the king said, Where [is] he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, [he is] in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar.
5 Epi Wa David te voye mennen li soti lakay Makir, fis a Ammiel la nan Lodebar.
And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.
6 Méphiboscheth, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Saül, te vini a David. Li te tonbe sou figi li bese atè nèt. Epi David te di: “Méphiboscheth?” Epi li te di: “Men mwen, sèvitè ou!”
And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold thy servant.
7 David te di li: “Pa pè, paske anverite, mwen va montre ou ladousè pou koz papa ou, Jonathan, e mwen va restore a ou menm tout tè a granpapa ou, Saül. Epi, konsa, ou va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.”
And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with thee for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and I will restore to thee all the land of Saul the father of thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
8 Ankò, li te bese atè, e te di: “Se kisa ke sèvitè ou ye pou ou ta dwe gade yon chen mouri tankou mwen?”
And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I thy servant, that thou hast looked upon a dead dog like me?
9 Konsa, wa a te rele sèvitè a Saül la, Tsiba. Li te di li: “Tout sa ki te pou Saül ak pou lakay li yo, mwen te vin bay yo a gran pitit a mèt ou a.
And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of thy lord.
10 Ou menm avèk fis ou yo avèk sèvitè ou yo va kiltive tè a pou li, e ou va rekòlte jis pou pitit a mèt ou a kapab genyen manje. Sepandan, Méphiboscheth, gran fis a mèt ou a, va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.” Alò, Tsiba te gen kenz fis ak ven sèvitè.
And thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him; and thou shalt bring in bread to the son of thy lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of thy lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Selon tout sa ke mèt mwen, wa a, kòmande sèvitè li a, konsa sèvitè ou a va fè.” Konsa, Méphiboscheth te manje sou tab David la, tankou youn nan fis a wa yo.
And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
12 Méphiboscheth te gen yon jèn fis ki te rele Mica. Epi tout sila ki te rete lakay Tsiba yo te sèvitè a Méphiboscheth.
And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name [was] Micha: and all the household of Siba [were] servants to Memphibosthe.
13 Konsa, Méphiboscheth te rete Jérusalem, paske li te manje sou tab a wa a tout tan. Alò, li te kokobe nan toude pye li.
And Memphibosthe dwelt in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet.
