Ii Samuelis 9

1 et dixit David putasne est aliquis qui remanserit de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam propter Ionathan

And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's sake?

2 erat autem de domo Saul servus nomine Siba quem cum vocasset rex ad se dixit ei tune es Siba et ille respondit ego sum servus tuus

And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Siba? and he said, I [am] your servant.

3 et ait rex num superest aliquis de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam Dei dixitque Siba regi superest filius Ionathan debilis pedibus

And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame [of] his feet.

4 ubi inquit est et Siba ad regem ecce ait in domo est Machir filii Amihel in Lodabar

And the king said, Where [is] he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, [he is] in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar.

5 misit ergo rex David et tulit eum de domo Machir filii Amihel de Lodabar

And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.

6 cum autem venisset Mifiboseth filius Ionathan filii Saul ad David corruit in faciem suam et adoravit dixitque David Mifiboseth qui respondit adsum servus tuus

And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold your servant.

7 et ait ei David ne timeas quia faciens faciam in te misericordiam propter Ionathan patrem tuum et restituam tibi omnes agros Saul patris tui et tu comedes panem in mensa mea semper

And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with you for the sake of Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul the father of your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.

8 qui adorans eum dixit quis ego sum servus tuus quoniam respexisti super canem mortuum similem mei

And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I your servant, that you have looked upon a dead dog like me?

9 vocavit itaque rex Sibam puerum Saul et dixit ei omnia quaecumque fuerunt Saul et universam domum eius dedi filio domini tui

And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of your lord.

10 operare igitur ei terram tu et filii tui et servi tui et inferes filio domini tui cibos ut alatur Mifiboseth autem filius domini tui comedet semper panem super mensam meam erant autem Sibae quindecim filii et viginti servi

And you, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him; and you shall bring in bread to the son of your lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of your lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 dixitque Siba ad regem sicut iussisti domine mi rex servo tuo sic faciet servus tuus et Mifiboseth comedet super mensam tuam quasi unus de filiis regis

And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.

12 habebat autem Mifiboseth filium parvulum nomine Micha omnis vero cognatio domus Siba serviebat Mifiboseth

And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name [was] Micha: and all the household of Siba [were] servants to Memphibosthe.

13 porro Mifiboseth habitabat in Hierusalem quia de mensa regis iugiter vescebatur et erat claudus utroque pede

And Memphibosthe lived in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet.
