2 Samuel 9

1 Sinabi ni David, “Mayroon pa bang natitira sa pamilya ni Saul na maaari kong mapakitaan ng kagandahang loob alang-alang kay Jonatan?”

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 May isang lingkod sa pamilya ni Saul na ang pangalan ay Siba, at ipinatawag siya para kay David. Sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Ikaw ba si Siba?” Tumugon siya, “Oo. Ako ang inyong lingkod.”

And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is he.

3 Kaya sinabi ng hari, “Mayroon pa bang natitira sa pamilya ni Saul na maaari kong mapakitaan ng kagandahang loob sa Diyos?” Tumugon si Siba sa hari, “May nalalabi pang anak na lalaki si Jonatan, na pilay ang paa.”

And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, which is lame on his feet.

4 Sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Nasaan siya?” Tumugon si Siba sa hari, “Nasa bahay siya ni Maquir anak na lalaki ni Ammiel sa Lo Debar.”

And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.

5 Pagkatapos ipinasundo at ipinakuha siya ni Haring David sa bahay ni Maquirr anak na lalaki ni Ammiel mula sa Lo Debar.

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

6 Kaya nagtungo si Mefibosheth kay David anak na lalaki ni Jonatan na anak na lalaki ni Saul at iniyuko ang kaniyang mukha sa lupa para gumalang kay David. Sinabi ni David, “Mefiboshet.” Sumagot siya, “Ako ang inyong lingkod!”

Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!

7 Sinabi ni David sa kaniya, Huwag kang matakot, dahil titiyakin kong kagandahang-loob ang ipapakita ko sa iyo alang-alang kay Jonatan na iyong ama at ibabalik ko sa iyo ang lahat ng lupain ni Saul na iyong lolo, at lagi kang kakain sa aking lamesa.”

And David said to 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 Yumuko si Mefiboset at sinabing, “Ano ba ang iyong lingkod, na dapat mong pakitaan ng pabor ang tulad kong isang patay na aso?”

And he bowed himself, and said, What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?

9 Pagkatapos tinawag ng hari si Siba, lingkod ni Saul at sinabi sa kaniya, “Ibinigay ko sa anak na lalaki ng iyong amo ang lahat ng mga ari-arian ni Saul at ng kaniyang pamilya.

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

10 Ikaw ang mag-aararo ng lupa para sa kaniya, ikaw at iyong mga anak na lalaki at iyong mga lingkod, at dapat anihin ninyo ang mga pananim para ang apo ng iyong amo ay magkaroon ng makakain. Pero si Mefisobet lalaking apo ng iyong amo ay laging kakain sa aking lamesa.” Mayroong labing limang anak na lalaki at dalawampung lingkod si Siba.

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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Siba sa hari, “Gagawin lahat ng iyong lingkod ang mga iniuutos ng aking among hari sa kaniyang lingkod.” Idinagdag ng hari, “Tungkol naman kay Mefisobet siya ay kakain sa aking lamesa, tulad ng isa sa mga anak na lalaki ng hari.

Then said Ziba to 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 May isang binatang anak na lalaki si Mefisobet na ang pangalan ay Mica. At ang lahat ng nakatira sa bahay ni Siba ay naging mga lingkod ni Mefisobet.

And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelled in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

13 Kaya nanirahan si Mefisobet sa Jerusalem, at lagi siyang kumakain sa lamesa ng hari, kahit pilay ang pareho niyang paa.

So Mephibosheth dwelled in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
