2 Samuel 9

1 Pada suatu hari Daud bertanya, "Masih adakah orang yang hidup dari keluarga Saul? Jika ada, aku ingin berbuat baik kepadanya demi Yonatan."

And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

2 Keluarga Saul mempunyai budak yang bernama Ziba, dan ia disuruh menghadap Raja Daud. Raja bertanya, "Engkaukah Ziba?" "Ya, Baginda," jawabnya.

And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba; and they called him to David. And the king said to him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant!

3 Kemudian raja bertanya, "Masih adakah orang yang hidup dari keluarga Saul? Aku ingin berbuat baik kepadanya, seperti yang telah kujanjikan kepada Allah." Ziba menjawab, "Masih ada seorang putra Yonatan. Dia pincang."

And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame on [his] feet.

4 "Di mana dia?" tanya raja. "Di Lodebar, di rumah Makhir anak Amiel," jawab Ziba.

And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.

5 Lalu Raja Daud menyuruh memanggil putra Yonatan itu.

And king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.

6 Putra Yonatan itu bernama Mefiboset. Ketika ia datang, ia sujud menghormati Daud. Daud menyapa dia, katanya, "Mefiboset," dan dia menjawab, "Ya, Baginda."

And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he said, Behold thy servant!

7 Daud berkata, "Jangan takut. Aku akan bermurah hati kepadamu demi Yonatan ayahmu. Semua tanah kakekmu Saul, akan kukembalikan kepadamu dan untuk selama-lamanya engkau boleh makan di istana."

And David said to him, Fear not; for I will certainly shew 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 Mefiboset sujud lagi dan berkata, "Apalah artinya hamba ini! Mengapa Baginda begitu baik kepada hamba?"

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

9 Lalu raja memanggil Ziba budak Saul itu, dan berkata, "Segala peninggalan Saul dan keluarganya kuberikan kepada cucu tuanmu ini.

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

10 Engkau dan anak-anakmu serta pembantumu harus mengerjakan tanah itu bagi keluarga tuanmu Saul, dan berikanlah hasil tanah itu kepada mereka untuk mencukupi kebutuhan mereka. Tetapi Mefiboset boleh makan di istana selama-lamanya." (Ziba mempunyai 15 orang anak laki-laki dan 20 orang budak).

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

11 Ziba menjawab kepada raja, "Segala perintah Baginda akan hamba laksanakan." Jadi Mefiboset makan sehidangan dengan raja, seperti putra Raja Daud sendiri.

And Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Mephibosheth [said David] shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.

12 Mefiboset mempunyai putra yang bernama Mikha. Semua anggota keluarga Ziba menjadi hamba-hamba Mefiboset.

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

13 Demikianlah Mefiboset yang cacat pada kedua kakinya itu tinggal di Yerusalem dan selalu makan di istana.

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