2 Samuel 9

1 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?'

David je rekel: »Je še kakšen, ki je preostal od Savlove hiše, da mu lahko zaradi Jonatana izkažem prijaznost?«

2 Now 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.'

Bil pa je iz Savlove hiše služabnik, katerega ime je bilo Cibá. Ko so ga poklicali k Davidu, mu je kralj rekel: » Si ti Cibá?« Rekel je: » On je tvoj služabnik.«

3 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 on his feet.'

Kralj je rekel: » Mar ni nikogar več iz Savlove hiše, da mu lahko izkažem Božjo prijaznost?« Cibá je kralju rekel: »Jonatan ima še sina, ki je hrom na svojih stopalih.«

4 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.'

Kralj mu je rekel: »Kje se nahaja?« Cibá je rekel kralju: »Glej, v hiši Amiélovega sina Mahírja v Lo Dabárju je.«

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

Potem je kralj David poslal in ga privedel iz hiše Amiélovega sina Mahírja, iz Lo Dabárja.

6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and prostrated himself. And David said: 'Mephibosheth!' And he answered: 'Behold thy servant!'

Torej ko je Mefibóšet, sin Jonatana, Savlovega sina, prišel k Davidu, je padel na svoj obraz in ga počastil. David je rekel: »Mefibóšet.« Odgovoril je: »Glej, tvoj služabnik!«

7 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.'

David mu je rekel: »Ne boj se, kajti zagotovo ti bom izkazal prijaznost zaradi tvojega očeta Jonatana in jaz ti bom obnovil vso deželo tvojega očeta Savla in pri moji mizi boš nenehno jedel kruh.«

8 And he bowed down, and said: 'What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?'

Priklonil se je in rekel: »Kaj je tvoj služabnik, da bi pogledal na takšnega mrtvega psa, kot sem jaz?«

9 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.

Potem je kralj poklical Savlovega služabnika Cibája in mu rekel: »Sinu tvojega gospodarja sem izročil vse, kar je pripadalo Savlu in vsej njegovi hiši.

10 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 continually at my table.' Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Torej ti in tvoji sinovi in tvoji služabniki, boste zanj obdelovali deželo in ti boš prinesel sadove, da bo sin tvojega gospodarja lahko imel hrano za jesti. Toda Mefibóšet, sin tvojega gospodarja, bo vedno jedel kruh pri moji mizi.« Torej Cibá je imel petnajst sinov in dvajset služabnikov.

11 Then said Ziba unto the king: 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do; but Mephibosheth eateth at my table as one of the king's sons.'

Potem je Cibá rekel kralju: »Glede na vse, kar je moj gospod kralj zapovedal svojemu služabniku, tako bo tvoj služabnik storil. Kar se tiče Mefibóšeta, « je rekel kralj, »on bo jedel pri moji mizi, kakor nekdo izmed kraljevih sinov.«

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

Mefibóšet pa je imel mladega sina, katerega ime je bilo Miha. In vsi, ki so prebivali v Cibájajevi hiši, so bili služabniki Mefibóšetu.

13 But Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table; and he was lame on both his feet.

Tako je Mefibóšet prebival v Jeruzalemu, kajti nenehno je jedel pri kraljevi mizi, bil pa je hrom na obeh svojih stopalih.
