Otra Samuela 9
1 Un Dāvids sacīja: vai vēl ir kāds, kas atlicies no Saula nama, ka es tam žēlastību parādu Jonatāna dēļ?
One day David asked, “Is there anyone who is a descendant of Saul to whom I can be kind?” He asked this because he wanted to honor Jonathan.
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.
[They told him that] there was [in Jerusalem] a man named Ziba who had been a servant of Saul’s family. So [David sent messengers to summon Ziba. When he arrived], the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, I am.”
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 in Saul’s family to whom I can be kind, [as I promised Jonathan that I would do]?” Ziba replied, “Yes, there is one son of Jonathan who is still [alive]. His feet are crippled.”
4 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kur tas ir? Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: redzi, viņš ir Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, namā, Lodabarā.
The king asked him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied, “He is [living] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar [city east of the Jordan River].”
5 Tad ķēniņš Dāvids nosūtīja un to ņēma no Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, nama, no Lodabaras.
So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
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 came to David, he knelt down with his face on the ground, to show respect. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, how may I serve you?”
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.
David said to him, “Do not be afraid; I will be kind to you because Jonathan your father [was my loyal friend]. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul. And [I want] you to always eat with me at my house [MTY].”
8 Un tas paklanījās un sacīja: kas tavs kalps tāds ir, ka tu uzlūko nomirušu suni, kāds es esmu?
Mephibosheth bowed [in front of David again] and said, “Sir, I am [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog; I do not deserve [RHQ] that you be kind to 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 summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “Saul was your master; now I am giving to Mephibosheth 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 15 sons and your 20 servants must till/plow the land for Mephibosheth’s [family], and [plant crops] and harvest them, in order that they will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth will eat food with me at my house.”
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, “Your majesty, I will do everything that you have commanded me to do.” So [after that], Mephibosheth always ate at the king’s table, as though he were 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 of Ziba’s family became servants of Mephibosheth.
13 Un Mefibošets dzīvoja Jeruzālemē, tāpēc ka viņš vienmēr ēda pie ķēniņa galda. Un viņš bija tizls uz abām kājām.
And Mephibosheth, who was still crippled in both of his feet, started to live in Jerusalem, and he always ate (at the king’s table/with the king).
