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?
et dixit David putasne est aliquis qui remanserit de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam propter Ionathan
2 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.
erat autem de domo Saul servus nomine Siba quem cum vocasset rex ad se dixit ei tune es Siba et ille respondit ego sum servus tuus
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 of his feet.
et ait rex num superest aliquis de domo Saul ut faciam cum eo misericordiam Dei dixitque Siba regi superest filius Ionathan debilis pedibus
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.
ubi inquit est et Siba ad regem ecce ait in domo est Machir filii Amihel in Lodabar
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
misit ergo rex David et tulit eum de domo Machir filii Amihel de Lodabar
6 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!
cum autem venisset Mifiboseth filius Ionathan filii Saul ad David corruit in faciem suam et adoravit dixitque David Mifiboseth qui respondit adsum servus tuus
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.
et ait ei David ne timeas quia faciens faciam in te misericordiam propter Ionathan patrem tuum et restituam tibi omnes agros Saul patris tui et tu comedes panem in mensa mea semper
8 And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
qui adorans eum dixit quis ego sum servus tuus quoniam respexisti super canem mortuum similem mei
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.
vocavit itaque rex Sibam puerum Saul et dixit ei omnia quaecumque fuerunt Saul et universam domum eius dedi filio domini tui
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 alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
operare igitur ei terram tu et filii tui et servi tui et inferes filio domini tui cibos ut alatur Mifiboseth autem filius domini tui comedet semper panem super mensam meam erant autem Sibae quindecim filii et viginti servi
11 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.
dixitque Siba ad regem sicut iussisti domine mi rex servo tuo sic faciet servus tuus et Mifiboseth comedet super mensam tuam quasi unus de filiis regis
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
habebat autem Mifiboseth filium parvulum nomine Micha omnis vero cognatio domus Siba serviebat Mifiboseth
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet.
porro Mifiboseth habitabat in Hierusalem quia de mensa regis iugiter vescebatur et erat claudus utroque pede
