Otra Samuela 9
1 Un Dāvids sacīja: vai vēl ir kāds, kas atlicies no Saula nama, ka es tam žēlastību parādu Jonatāna dēļ?
David said, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him for Jonathan's sake?”
2 Un Saula namam bija kalps, Cībus vārdā, un tas tapa aicināts Dāvida priekšā. Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: vai tu esi Cībus? Un viņš sacīja: esmu, tavs kalps.
There was a man called Ziba who used to be a servant of Saul's family. They called for him to come to David, and the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” “Yes, I am your servant,” he replied.
3 Un ķēniņš sacīja: vai vēl kāds nav no Saula nama, ka es Dieva žēlastību tam parādu? Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: Vēl ir viens Jonatāna dēls, tizls uz abām kājām.
The king asked him, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him as I promised before God?” “There's still one of Jonathan's sons, who is lame in both feet,” Ziba replied.
4 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kur tas ir? Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: redzi, viņš ir Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, namā, Lodabarā.
“Where is he?” asked the king. “He's in the town of Lo-debar, living in the home of Machir, son of Ammiel,” Ziba replied.
5 Tad ķēniņš Dāvids nosūtīja un to ņēma no Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, nama, no Lodabaras.
So King David had him brought from Machir's home.
6 Kad nu Mefibošets, Jonatāna dēls, Saula dēla dēls, pie Dāvida nāca tad viņš metās uz savu vaigu un klanījās. Un Dāvids sacīja: Mefibošet! Un viņš sacīja: redzi, še tavs kalps.
When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, he bowed facedown to the ground in respect. Then David said, “Welcome Mephibosheth.” “I am your servant,” he replied.
7 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: nebīsties, es tiešām tev parādīšu žēlastību tava tēva Jonatāna dēļ, un tev atdošu visus tava tēva Saula tīrumus, un tev būs vienmēr maizi ēst pie mana galda.
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for I will truly be kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land owned by your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 Un tas paklanījās un sacīja: kas tavs kalps tāds ir, ka tu uzlūko nomirušu suni, kāds es esmu?
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should pay any attention to a dead dog like me?”
9 Tad ķēniņš aicināja Cību, Saula kalpu, un uz to sacīja: visu, kas Saulam un viņa namam piederēja, to es esmu devis tava kunga dēlam.
Then the king called for Saul's servant Ziba and told him, “I have given to your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
10 Tāpēc strādā tu viņam to zemi, tu ar saviem dēliem un ar saviem kalpiem, un savāc, ka tava kunga dēlam ir maizes ko ēst, un Mefibošets, tava kunga dēls, lai vienmēr ēd maizi pie mana galda. Bet Cībum bija piecpadsmit dēli un divdesmit kalpi.
You and your sons and workers are to farm the ground for him and bring in the produce, so that your master's grandson will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, will always eat at my table.” Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty workers.
11 Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: visu, ko mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, savam kalpam pavēl, to tavs kalps darīs. Un Mefibošets lai ēd pie mana galda tāpat, kā viens no ķēniņa bērniem.
Ziba replied to the king, “My lord the king, your servant will do everything that you have commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.
12 Un Mefibošetam bija mazs dēls, vārdā Miha, un visi, kas Cībus namā dzīvoja, tie Mefibošetam bija par kalpiem.
Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All the people who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants.
13 Un Mefibošets dzīvoja Jeruzālemē, tāpēc ka viņš vienmēr ēda pie ķēniņa galda. Un viņš bija tizls uz abām kājām.
But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table. He was lame in both feet.
