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 one that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for the sake of Jonathan?

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.

And the house of Saul had a servant whose name was Ziba; and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And be said, Thy servant [is it].

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 no one left any more of the house of Saul, that I may show him the kindness of God! And Ziba said unto the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame on both 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.

And king David sent, and had him taken 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 he fell on his face, and bowed himself. And David said, Mephibosheth; And he answered, Here is 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 the sake of Jonathan thy father, and I will restore unto 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 himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldst turn thy regard unto 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 called the king for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, all that hath 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 for him the land, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, and thou shalt bring in [the product], that thy master's son may have bread which he can eat; but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat continually bread 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.

And Ziba said unto the king, In accordance with all that my Lord the king may command his servant, so will thy servant do. And Mephibosheth [said the king] shall eat 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.

And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. 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.

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