२ शमूएल 9
1 दाऊदले भने, “के शाऊलको परिवारका कोही बाँकी छन्, जसलाई जोनाथनको खातिर म दया देखाउन सक्छु?”
David said, “Is there anyone left in Saul's family to whom I may show 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 ।”
There was in Saul's family a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David. The king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes. I am your servant.”
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 ।”
So the king said, “Is there not anyone left of Saul's family to whom I may show the kindness of God?” Ziba replied to the king, “Jonathan still has a son, who is lame in his feet.”
4 राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिनी कहाँ छन्?” सीबाले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तिनी लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरमा छन् ।”
The king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied to the king, “Look, he is in the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
5 त्यसपछि राजा दाऊदले मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनलाई लो-देबारमा अम्मीएलका छोरा माकीरको घरबाट ल्याउन लगाए ।
Then King David sent and had him brought out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
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 ।”
So Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, came to David and bowed down his face to the floor in honor of David. David said, “Mephibosheth.” He answered, “See, I am 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 ।”
David said to him, “Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 मपीबोशेतले शिर झुकाएर भने, “तपाईंको दास के हो र, हजूरले मजस्तो मरेको कुकुरजस्तोलाई निगाह गर्नुहुन्छ?”
Mephibosheth bowed and said, “What is your servant, that you should look with favor 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, “All that belonged to Saul and his family I have given to your master's grandson.
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, your sons, and your servants must till the land for him and you must harvest the crops so that your master's grandson will have food to eat. For Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, must always eat 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 Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all that my master the king commands his servant.” The king added, “As for Mephibosheth he will 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 ।
Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mika. All who lived in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
13 त्यसैले मपीबोशेत यरूशलेममा बसे र तिनले सधैं राजाको टेबलमा खाए, यद्यपि तिनको दुवै खुट्टा लङ्गडा थिए ।
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, and he always ate at the king's table, though he was lame in both his feet.
