2 Hamuera 9
1 Na ka mea a Rawiri, Kahore ranei he morehu inaianei o te whare o Haora, kia puta ai toku aroha ki a ia, he mea hoki naku ki a Honatana?
And David says, “Is there yet any left of the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?”
2 Na he pononga tera no te whare o Haora, ko tona ingoa ko Tipa: na ka karangatia ia ki a Rawiri, a ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Ko Tipa koe? Ka mea tera, Tenei tau pononga.
And the house of Saul has a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him to David; and the king says to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he says, “Your servant.”
3 Na ka mea te kingi, Kahore ianei tetahi o te whare o Haora, kia whakaputaina ai e ahau to te Atua aroha ki a ia? Na ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Tenei ano tetahi tama a Honatana, he kopa nga waewae.
And the king says, “Is there not yet a man of the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?” And Ziba says to the king, “Jonathan has yet a son—lame.”
4 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kei hea? Ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Na, kei te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, kei Rotepara.
And the king says to him, “Where [is] he?” And Ziba says to the king, “Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Behold-Debar.”
5 Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka unga tangata ki te tiki i a ia i te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, i Rotepara.
And King David sends, and takes him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Behold-Debar,
6 A ka tae mai a Mepipohete tama a Honatana tama a Haora ki a Rawiri, ka tapapa, ka piko. Na ka mea a Rawiri, E Mepipohete. Ano ra ko tera, Tenei tau pononga.
and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, comes to David, and falls on his face, and pays respect, and David says, “Mephibosheth”; and he says, “Behold, your servant.”
7 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, Kaua e wehi; ka puta hoki toku aroha ki a koe, he whakaaro hoki ki a Honatana ki tou papa, me whakahoki ano e ahau ki a koe te mara katoa a Haora, a tou papa; me kai taro tonu ano koe ki taku tepu.
And David says to him, “Do not be afraid; for I certainly do with you kindness because of your father Jonathan, and have given back to you all the field of your father Saul, and you continually eat bread at my table.”
8 Na ka piko iho ia, ka mea, He aha tau pononga, i titiro mai ai koe ki tenei kuri mate, i ahau nei?
And he bows himself and says, “What [is] your servant, that you have turned to the dead dog—such as I?”
9 Katahi ka karanga te kingi ki a Tipa, ki te tangata a Haora, ka mea ki a ia, Ko nga mea katoa a Haora i mua, a tona whare katoa hoki, kua hoatu e ahau ki te tama a tou ariki.
And the king calls to Ziba servant of Saul and says to him, “All that was of Saul and of all his house, I have given to the son of your lord,
10 Ko koe hoki hei kaimahi mana i te oneone, koutou ko au tama, ko au pononga, ka kohi ai i nga hua; a ka whai taro te tama a tou ariki hei kai mana: ko Mepipohete ia ko te tama a tou ariki, me kai taro tonu ia ki taku tepu. Na, kotahi tekau ma rim a nga tama a Tipa, e rua tekau nga pononga.
and you have served the land for him, you and your sons, and your servants, and have brought in, and there has been bread for the son of your lord, and he has eaten it; and Mephibosheth, son of your lord, continually eats bread at my table”; and Ziba has fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Katahi ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Ka rite ta tau pononga e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e toku ariki, e te kingi, ki tana pononga. Ko Mepipohete ia e ai ta te kingi me kai ki taku tepu; ka rite ki tetahi o nga tama a te kingi.
And Ziba says to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant does.” “As for Mephibosheth,” [says the king, ] “he is eating at my table as one of the sons of the king.”
12 Na he tama ta Mepipohete he mea nohinohi, ko tona ingoa ko Mika: he pononga ano na Mepipohete te hunga katoa e noho ana i te whare o Tipa.
And Mephibosheth has a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and everyone dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.
13 Heoi noho ana a Mepipohete ki Hiruharama: i kai tonu hoki ia ki te tepu a te kingi; he kopa ano ona waewae e rua.
And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for he is continually eating at the table of the king, and he [is] lame [in] his two feet.
