1 爰にダビデいひけるはサウルの家の遺存れる者尚あるや我ヨナタンの爲に其人に恩惠をほどこさんと
And Dauid sayde, Is there yet any man left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him mercie for Ionathans sake?
2 サウルの家の僕なるヂバと名くる者ありければかれをダビデの許に召きたるに王かれにいひけるは汝はヂバなるか彼いふ僕是なり
And there was of the housholde of Saul a seruant whose name was Ziba, and when they had called him vnto Dauid, the King sayd vnto him, Art thou Ziba? And he sayd, I thy seruant am he.
3 王いひけるは尚サウルの家の者あるか我其人に神の恩惠をほどこさんとすヂバ王にいひけるはヨナタンの子尚あり跛足なり
Then the King sayd, Remayneth there yet none of the house of Saul, on whome I may shewe the mercie of God? Ziba then answered the King, Ionathan hath yet a sonne lame of his feete.
4 王かれにいひけるは其人は何處にをるやヂバ王にいひけるはロデバルにてアンミエルの子マキルの家にをる
Then the King said vnto him, Where is he? And Ziba said vnto the King, Behold, he is in the house of Machir ye sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
5 ダビデ王人を遣はしてロデバルより即ちアンミエルの子マキルの家よりかれを携來らしむ

6 サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテ、ダビデの所に來り伏て拝せりダビデ、メピボセテよといひければ答て僕此にありと曰ふ
Nowe when Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Saul was come vnto Dauid, he fel on his face, and did reuerence. And Dauid sayde, Mephibosheth? And he answered, Beholde thy seruant.
7 ダビデかれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ我必ず汝の父ヨナタンの爲に恩惠を汝にしめさん我汝の父サウルの地を悉く汝に復すべし又汝は恒に我席において食ふべしと
Then Dauid sayd vnto him, Feare not: for I wil surely shewe thee kindnes for Ionathan thy fathers sake, and will restore thee all the fieldes of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eate bread at my table continually.
8 かれ拝して言けるは僕何なればか汝死たる犬のごとき我を眷顧たまふ
And he bowed himselfe and sayd, What is thy seruant, that thou shouldest looke vpon such a dead dog as I am?
9 王サウルの僕ヂバを呼てこれにいひけるは凡てサウルとその家の物は我皆汝の主人の子にあたへたり
Then the king called Ziba Sauls seruant, and said vnto him, I haue giue vnto thy masters sonne all that perteined to Saul and to all his house.
10 汝と汝の子等と汝の僕かれのために地を耕へして汝の主人の子に食ふべき食物を取りきたるべし但し汝の主人の子メピボセテは恒に我席において食ふべしとヂバは十五人の子と二十人の僕あり
Thou therefore and thy sonnes and thy seruantes shall till the lande for him, and bring in that thy masters sonne may haue foode to eate. And Mephibosheth thy masters sonne shall eate bread alway at my table (nowe Ziba had fifteene sonnes, and twentie seruants)
11 ヂバ王にいひけるは總て王わが主の僕に命じたまひしごとく僕なすべしとメピボセテは王の子の一人のごとくダビデの席にて食へり
Then sayd Ziba vnto the King, According to all that my lord the King hath commaded his seruant, so shall thy seruat do, that Mephibosheth may eate at my table, as one of the Kings sonnes.
12 メピボセテに一人の若き子あり其名をミカといふヂバの家に住る者は皆メピボセテの僕なりき
