1 दाऊदले भने, “के शाऊलको परिवारका कोही बाँकी छन्, जसलाई जोनाथनको खातिर म दया देखाउन सक्‍छु?”
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
2 शाऊलको परिवारमा त्यहाँ सीबा नाम गरेका एक जना सेवक थिए, र उनीहरूले तिनलाई दाऊदकहाँ बोलाए । राजाले तिनलाई सोधे, “के तिमी सीबा हौ?” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “हो हजूर, म तपाईंको सेवक ।”
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is he.
3 त्यसैले राजाले भने, “के शाऊलको परिवारमा कुनै व्‍यक्‍ति बाँकी छैन जसलाई मैले परमेश्‍वरको दया देखाउन सक्‍छु?” सीबाले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “जोनाथनको अझै एउटा छोरा छन्, जो आफ्‍नो खुट्टाको लङ्गडा छन् ।”
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिनी कहाँ छन्?” सीबाले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तिनी लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरमा छन् ।”
And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 त्यसपछि राजा दाऊदले मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनलाई लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरबाट ल्याउन लगाए ।
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 त्यसैले शाऊलका नाति, जोनाथनका छोरा मपीबोशेत दाऊदकहाँ आए र दाऊदलाई आदर गर्न आफ्‍नो अनुहार भुईंमा घोप्टो पारे । दाऊदले भने, “ए मपपीबोशेत ।” तिनले जवाफ दिए, “हेर्नुहोस्, म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ ।”
Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
7 दाऊदले तिनलाई भने, “नडराऊ, किनकि तिम्रो बुबा जोनाथनको खातिर म तिमीलाई निश्‍चय नै दया देखाउने छु र तिम्रो हजुरबुबा शाऊलका सबै जमिन म तिमीलाई फिर्ता दिने छु र तिमी सधैं मेरो टेबलमा खाने छौ ।”
And David said to him, Fear not: for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.
8 मपीबोशेतले शिर झुकाएर भने, “तपाईंको दास के हो र, हजूरले मजस्तो मरेको कुकुरजस्तोलाई निगाह गर्नुहुन्छ?”
And he bowed himself, and said, What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?
9 त्यसपछि राजाले शाऊलका सेवक सीबालाई बोलाएर तिनलाई भने, “शाऊल र तिनका परिवारका सबै थोक मैले तिम्रो मालिकको नातिलाई दिएको छु ।
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given to your master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 तिमी, तिम्रा छोराहरू र तिम्रा सेवकहरूले तिनको निम्ति जमिनमा खेतीपाती गर्नुपर्छ र तिमीले अन्‍नहरू कटानी गर्नुपर्छ ताकि तिम्रो मालिकको नातिलाई खानलाई भोजन हुने छ । किनकि तिम्रो मालिकको नाति मपीबोशेतले सदैब मेरो टेबलमा खानुपर्छ ।” यति बेला सीबाका पन्ध्र जना छोरा र बिस जना सेवकहरू थिए ।
You therefore, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him, and you shall bring in the fruits, that your master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth your master’s son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 सीबाले राजालाई भने, “मेरा मालिक, हजूरले आफ्‍नो सेवकलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएको सबै कुरा हजूरको सेवकले गर्ने छ ।” राजाले थपे, “मपीबोशेतको बारेमा, राजाका छोरामध्ये एक जनाझैं तिनले मेरो टेबलबाट खाने छन् ।”
Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so shall your servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
12 मपीबोशेतको एक जना जवान छोरा थिए, जसको नाउँ मीका थियो । सीबाका घरमा बस्‍ने सबै मपीबोशेतका सेवकहरू थिए ।
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelled in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
13 त्यसैले मपीबोशेत यरूशलेममा बसे र तिनले सधैं राजाको टेबलमा खाए, यद्यपि तिनको दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडा थिए ।
So Mephibosheth dwelled in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
