II Samuela 9

1 I AKU la Davida, Aole anei e koe kekahi o ka ohana a Saula, i hoike aku ai au ia ia i aloha no Ionatana?

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?'

2 Aia kekahi kauwa no ka ohana o Saula, o Ziba kona inoa: a kii aku la lakou ia ia e hele io Davida la, i aku la ke alii ia ia, O oe no o Ziba? I mai la kela, Owau no o kau kauwa.

Now there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him: 'Art thou Ziba?' And he said: 'Thy servant is he.'

3 I aku la ke alii, Aole anei e koe kekahi o ka ohana a Saula, i hoike aku ai au i ke aloha o ke Akua ia ia? I mai la o Ziba i ke alii, Ke koe nei no kekahi keikikane a Ionatana, ua oopa na wawae ona.

And the king said: 'Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame on his feet.'

4 I aku la ke alii ia ia, Auhea la ia? I mai la o Ziba i ke alii, aia maloko o ka hale o Makira ke keiki a Amiela i Lodebara.

And the king said unto him: 'Where is he?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.'

5 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Davida ke alii, a lawe mai la ia ia mai loko mai o ka hale o Makira ke keiki a Amiela mai Lodebara mai.

Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

6 A hiki mai la Mepiboseta, ke keiki a Ionatana, ke keiki a Saula, io Davida la, kulou iho la ia ilalo kona alo, a hoomaikai aku la, I aku la o Davida, E Mepiboseta. I mai la kela, Eia kau kauwa.

And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and prostrated himself. And David said: 'Mephibosheth!' And he answered: 'Behold thy servant!'

7 I aku la o Davida ia ia, Mai makau oe: no ka mea, e oiaio no, e lokomaikai aku au ia oe no Ionatana kou makuakane, a e hoihoi aku au nou i ka aina a pau o kou kupunakane o Saula; a e ai mau oe i ka berena ma kuu papaaina.

And David said unto him: 'Fear not; for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.'

8 Kulou iho la ia, i mai la, Heaha kau kauwa, i ike mai ai oe ia'u he ilio make?

And he bowed down, and said: 'What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?'

9 Alaila kahea aku la ke alii ia Ziba ke kauwa a Saula, i aku la ia ia, Ua haawi aku au na ke keiki a kou haku i na mea a pau o Saula a o kana ohana a pau.

Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him: 'All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master's son.

10 E malama oe i ka aina nona, o oe me au mau keiki a me au mau kauwa; a e lawe mai hoi oe i ai na ke keiki a kou haku e ai ai: aka, o Mepiboseta ke keiki a kou haku, e ai mau ia ma ko'u papaaina. Aia ia Ziba na keikikane he umi kumamalima, a me na kauwa he iwakalua.

And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread continually at my table.' Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Alaila olelo aku la o Ziba i ke alii, E like me ka mea a pau a ko'u haku a ke alii i kauoha mai ai i kana kauwa, pela no e hana aku ai kau kauwa. A o Mepiboseta, e ai ia ma ko'u papaaina e like me kekahi keiki kane a ke alii.

Then said Ziba unto the king: 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do; but Mephibosheth eateth at my table as one of the king's sons.'

12 He keikikane opiopio ka Mepiboseta, o Mika kona inoa: a o na mea a pau i noho ma ka hale o Ziba, he mau kauwa lakou na Mepiboseta.

Now Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.

13 A noho iho la o Mepiboseta ma Ierusalema, a ai mau iho la ia ma ka papaaina o ke alii: a ua oopa kela ma kona mau wawae a elua.

But Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table; and he was lame on both his feet.
