2 Samuel 9
1 E disse David: há ainda alguém que ficasse da casa de Saul, para que lhe faça beneficência por amor de Jonathan?
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 E havia um servo na casa de Saul cujo nome era Ziba: e o chamaram que viesse a David, e disse-lhe o rei: És tu Ziba? E ele disse: Servo teu.
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is he.
3 E disse o rei: Não há ainda algum da casa de Saul para que use com ele de beneficência de Deus? Então disse Ziba ao rei: Ainda há um filho de Jonathan, aleijado de ambos os pés.
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan has yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 E disse-lhe o rei: Onde está? E disse Ziba ao rei: Eis que está em casa de Machir, filho de Ammiel, em Lo-debar.
And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 Então mandou o rei David, e o tomou da casa de Machir, filho de Ammiel. de Lo-debar.
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 E entrando Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, o filho de Saul, a David, se prostrou com o rosto por terra e se inclinou; e disse David: Mephiboseth! E ele disse: Eis aqui teu servo.
Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
7 E disse-lhe David: Não temas, porque decerto usarei contigo de beneficência por amor de Jonathan, teu pai, e te restituirei todas as terras de Saul, teu pai, e tu de contínuo comerás pão à minha mesa.
And David said unto 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 Então se inclinou, e disse: Quem é teu servo, para tu teres olhado para um cão morto tal como eu
And he bowed himself, and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 Então chamou David a Ziba, moço de Saul, e disse-lhe: Tudo o que pertencia a Saul, e de toda a sua casa, tenho dado ao filho de teu senhor.
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto your master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 Trabalhar-lhe-eis pois a terra, tu e teus filhos, e teus servos, e recolherás os frutos, para que o filho de teu senhor tenha pão que coma, e Mephiboseth, filho de teu senhor, de contínuo comerá pão à minha mesa. E tinha Ziba quinze filhos e vinte servos.
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 E disse Ziba ao rei: Conforme a tudo quanto meu senhor, o rei, manda a seu servo, assim fará teu servo; porém Mephiboseth comerá à minha mesa como um dos filhos do rei
Then said Ziba unto 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 E tinha Mephiboseth um filho pequeno, cujo nome era Mica: e todos quantos moravam em casa de Ziba eram servos de Mephiboseth.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 Morava pois Mephiboseth em Jerusalém, porquanto de contínuo comia à mesa do rei, e era coxo de ambos os pés.
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
