2 Samuel 9

1 Jonathan koe pahrennae ka kamnue sak nahanelah, Sawl imthungnaw dawk hoi kaawm rae ao maw telah Devit ni ati.

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 Sawl e sannaw thung e tami buet touh, a min Ziba ao teh Devit koe cei hanelah a kaw awh. Siangpahrang ni nang teh Ziba maw telah atipouh boteh, ahni ni, bokheiyah, na san kai doeh telah atipouh.

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 Siangpahrang ni Cathut lungpatawnae ka kamnue sak nahan Sawl imthungnaw thung dawk e kaawm rae awm hoeh na maw telah atipouh. Ziba ni, Jonathan ni capa buet touh a tawn teh a khokkhem telah atipouh.

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 Siangpahrang ni nâmaw ao telah a pacei. Ziba ni khenhaw! Lodebar kho e Ammiel capa Makhir im vah ao telah atipouh.

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 Hattoteh siangpahrang Devit ni tami a patoun teh, Lodebar kho e Ammiel capa Makhir im hoi ahni teh a thokhai awh.

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

6 Sawl capa Jonathan e capa Mephibosheth teh Devit koe a tho teh, a minhmai talai dawk tabei laihoi a tabut. Devit ni Mephibosheth telah a kaw, na san kai teh hivah ka o telah atipouh.

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 Devit ni na lungpuen hanh, na pa Jonathan kecu dawk na pahren hanelah, Sawl ni a tawn e pueng kai ni bout na poe han. Kaie caboi dawk bu pou na ven han toe telah atipouh.

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 lûsaling teh kai ui ro patet e na san kai heh banglamaw khuek na pouk telah ati.

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

9 Siangpahrang ni Sawl e a san Ziba hah ama koe a kaw teh, Sawl hoi a imthung e hnopai pueng hah na bawipa e capa he ka poe toe.

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 Nama hoi na capa, na sannaw hoi lai na thawn pouh vaiteh, na bawi capa ni a ca hane kawi ao thai nahan, na tawk e a pawhik hah na tho khai han. Hateiteh, na bawipa e capa Mephibosheth ni ka caboi dawk bu pou a ven han telah atipouh. Ziba ni a ca 15 touh hoi a san 20 touh a tawn.

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 Ziba ni siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni na san koe kâ na poe e patetlah na san ni ka sak han telah ati. Siangpahrang ni Mephibosheth teh ka caboi dawk siangpahrang capa buet touh patetlah bu pou a ca han toe telah ati.

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 Mephibosheth ni capa cahnoung Mika a min phung e buet touh a tawn. Ziba im dawk kaawm e pueng teh Mephibosheth e san lah ao awh.

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

13 Mephibosheth teh, Jerusalem kho dawk ao teh, hnintangkuem siangpahrang e caboi dawk bu a ven, a khok kahni touh hoi a khem.

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