२ शमूएल 9
1 दाऊदले भने, “के शाऊलको परिवारका कोही बाँकी छन्, जसलाई जोनाथनको खातिर म दया देखाउन सक्छु?”
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 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 ।”
[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 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 ।”
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 राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिनी कहाँ छन्?” सीबाले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तिनी लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरमा छन् ।”
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 त्यसपछि राजा दाऊदले मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनलाई लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरबाट ल्याउन लगाए ।
So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
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 ।”
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 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 ।”
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 मपीबोशेतले शिर झुकाएर भने, “तपाईंको दास के हो र, हजूरले मजस्तो मरेको कुकुरजस्तोलाई निगाह गर्नुहुन्छ?”
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 त्यसपछि राजाले शाऊलका सेवक सीबालाई बोलाएर तिनलाई भने, “शाऊल र तिनका परिवारका सबै थोक मैले तिम्रो मालिकको नातिलाई दिएको छु ।
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 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 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 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 ।”
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 मपीबोशेतको एक जना जवान छोरा थिए, जसको नाउँ मीका थियो । सीबाका घरमा बस्ने सबै मपीबोशेतका सेवकहरू थिए ।
Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All of Ziba’s family became servants of Mephibosheth.
13 त्यसैले मपीबोशेत यरूशलेममा बसे र तिनले सधैं राजाको टेबलमा खाए, यद्यपि तिनको दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडा थिए ।
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).
