2 Samuelova 9

1 I reèe David: ima li jošte ko da je ostao od doma Saulova? da mu uèinim milost radi Jonatana.

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 A bijaše jedan sluga doma Saulova, po imenu Siva; i dozvaše ga k Davidu. I reèe mu car: jesi li ti Siva? A on reèe: ja sam, sluga tvoj.

And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.

3 A car reèe: ima li jošte ko od doma Saulova da mu uèinim milost Božiju? A Siva reèe caru: još ima sin Jonatanov, hrom na nogu.

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 hath yet a son, who is lame of his feet.

4 I reèe mu car: gdje je? A Siva reèe caru: eno ga u domu Mahira sina Amilova u Lodevaru.

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 Lo-debar.

5 Tada posla car David da ga dovedu iz Lodevara iz doma Mahira sina Amilova.

Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

6 A kad doðe k Davidu Mefivostej sin Jonatana sina Saulova, pade na lice svoje i pokloni se. A David reèe: Mefivosteju! A on reèe: evo sluge tvojega.

And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold, thy servant!

7 A David mu reèe: ne boj se; jer æu ti uèiniti milost Jonatana radi oca tvojega, daæu ti natrag sve njive Saula oca tvojega; a ti æeš svagda jesti za mojim stolom.

And David said unto him, Fear not; for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

8 A on se pokloni i reèe: ko sam ja sluga tvoj, te si pogledao na mrtva psa kao što sam ja?

And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

9 I car dozva Sivu slugu Saulova, i reèe mu: što je god bilo Saulovo i svega doma njegova, dao sam sinu tvojega gospodara.

Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master’s son.

10 Radi mu dakle zemlju ti i sinovi tvoji i sluge tvoje, i donosi da sin gospodara tvojega ima hljeba da jede; ali Mefivostej sin gospodara tvojega ješæe svagda za mojim stolom. Siva pak imaše petnaest sinova i dvadeset sluga.

And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 I reèe Siva caru: kako je car gospodar moj zapovjedio sluzi svojemu, sve æe èiniti sluga tvoj. Ali Mefivostej, reèe car, ješæe za mojim stolom kao carski sin.

Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.

12 A Mefivostej imaše maloga sina, kojemu ime bješe Miha; a svi koji življahu u domu Sivinu bijahu sluge Mefivostejeve.

And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.

13 A Mefivostej sjeðaše u Jerusalimu, jer svagda jeðaše za carevijem stolom, a bješe hrom na obje noge.

So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet.
