II Samuel 9
1 Kinuna ni David, “Adda pay kadi nabati iti pamilia ni Saul a mabalin a pangipakitaak ti kinasayaat gapu kenni Jonatan?”
And David said, “Do you think that there could be anyone left from the house of Saul, so that I might show mercy to him because of Jonathan?”
2 Adda ti sigud nga adipen ti pamilia ni Saul nga agnagan ti Siba, ket inayabanda daytoy a sumango kenni David. Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Sika kadi ni Siba?” Simmungbat isuna, “Wen apo. Siak ti adipenmo.”
Now there was, from the house of Saul, a servant named Ziba. And when the king had called him to himself, he said to him, “Are you not Ziba?” And he responded, “I am your servant.”
3 Isu a kinuna ti ari, “Awan kadin ti nabati iti pamilia ni Saul a mabalin a pangipakitaak iti kinasayaat ti Dios?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Adda pay laeng ti putot a lalaki ni Jonatan, a pilay dagiti sakana.”
And the king said, “Could there be anyone alive from the house of Saul, so that I may show the mercy of God to him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is left alive a son of Jonathan, with disabled feet.”
4 Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Sadino ti ayanna?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Kitaem, adda isuna idiay balay ni Makir a putot a lalaki ni Ammiel idiay Lo Debar.”
“Where is he?” he said. And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.”
5 Nangibaon ngarud ni David iti mapan mangiruar kenkuana manipud iti balay ni Makir a putot a lalaki ni Ammiel manipud Lo Debar.
Therefore, king David sent and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 Napan ngarud ni Mefiboset a putot a lalaki ni Jonatan, nga apoko ni Saul, kenni David ket nagrukob isuna a nakadekket ti rupana iti daga kas panagpadayawna kenni David. Kinuna ni David, “Mefiboset.” Simmungbat isuna, “Adtoyak, siak ti adipenmo!”
And when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell upon his face, and he reverenced. And David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he responded, “Your servant is here.”
7 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, ta awan duadua nga ipakitak kenka ti kinasayaat gapu kenni amam a ni Jonatan, isublik kenka dagiti amin a daga daydi Saul nga apongmo, ken kanayonka a mangan iti lamisaanko.'”
And David said to him: “Do not be afraid. For I will certainly show mercy to you because of your father Jonathan. And I will restore to you all the fields of your father Saul. And you shall eat bread at my table always.”
8 Nagdumog ni Mefiboset sana kinuna, “Ania koma daytoy adipenmo, a pakitaam ti pabor iti kasla natay nga aso a kas kaniak?”
And reverencing him, he said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should look with favor upon a dead dog like me?”
9 Ket pinaayaban ti ari ni Siba nga adipen ni Saul, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Intedkon iti putot a lalaki ti amom dagiti amin a sanikua ni Saul ken ti pamiliana.
And so, the king called Ziba, the servant of Saul, and he said to him: “Everything whatsoever that belonged to Saul, and his entire house, I have given to the son of your lord.
10 Sika ti mangtalon ti daga para kenkuana, sika ken dagiti putotmo a lallaki ken dagiti adipenmo, ken nasken nga apitenyo dagiti mula tapno adda taraon a kanen ti apoko ti sigud nga amom. Ngem kanayon a mangan ni Mefiboset nga apoko ti sigud nga amom iti lamisaanko.” Ita addaan iti 15 a putot a lallaki ken 20 nga adipen ni Siba.
And so, work the land for him, you and your sons and your servants. And you shall bring in food for the son of your lord, for nourishment. And Mephibosheth, the son of your lord, shall always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Ket kinuna ni Siba iti ari, “Aramiden ti adipenmo dagiti amin nga imbilin ti amok nga ari iti adipenna.” Kinunana pay ti ari, “No maipapan kenni Mefiboset mangan isuna iti lamisaanko, kas maysa kadagiti annak ti ari.”
And Ziba said to the king: “Just as my lord has ordered your servant, so will your servant do. And Mephibosheth shall eat at my table, like one of the sons of the king.”
12 Addaan ni Mefiboset iti putot nga agtutubo a lalaki nga agnagan Mika. Ket dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti balay ni Siba ket adipen ni Mefiboset.
Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. Truly, all the kindred of the house of Ziba served Mephibosheth.
13 Nagnaed ngarud ni Mefiboset idiay Jerusalem, ken kanayon isuna a mangmangan iti lamisaan ti ari, uray agpada a pilay dagiti sakana.
But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem. For he was fed always from the table of the king. And he was lame in both feet.
