2 Samuelova 9

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

David said, "Is there yet any who 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.

There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your 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.

The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has 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, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."

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

Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir 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 Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, "Mippibaal?" And he answered, "Look, your 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 to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall 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?

He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on 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 to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your 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.

You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always 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 Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like 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.

Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.

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

So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
