2 Samuel 9
1 And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan’s sake?
Ary hoy Davida: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa noho ny amin’ i Jonatana?
2 Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant.
Ary nisy mpanompon’ ny fianakavian’ i Saoly, Ziba no anarany. Ary nantsoiny hankany amin’ i Davida izy, ka hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Hianao moa no Ziba? Ary hoy izy: Izaho mpanomponao no izy.
3 And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy sisa ihany va ny tamingan’ i Saoly mba hasiako soa araka ny fanaon’ Andriamanitra? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Mbola misy zanakalahin’ i Jonatana iray ihany ao, nefa malemy tongotra izy.
4 Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy; Aiza anefa izy? Dia hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indro izy ao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, ao Lo-debara.
5 Then king David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.
Ary Davida mpanjaka naniraka haka azy tao an-tranon’ i Makira, zanak’ i Amiela, tao Lodebara.
6 And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant.
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Davida Mefiboseta, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Saoly, dia niankohoka sy nitsaoka azy izy. Ary hoy Davida: Mefiboseta! Dia hoy izy: Inty ny mpanomponao.
7 And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.
Ary hoy Davida taminy: Aza matahotra, fa hasiako soa tokoa ianao noho ny amin’ i Jonatana rainao, ary hampodiko ho anao ny tany rehetra izay an’ i Saoly rainao, ary ianao hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva.
8 He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Dia niankohoka izy ka nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho mpanomponao izay toy ny alika maty, no mba jerenao?
9 Then the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master’s son.
Dia niantso an’ i Ziba, mpanompon’ i Saoly, ny mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay rehetra nananan’ i Saoly sy ny mpianakaviny rehetra dia nomeko ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao.
10 Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master’s son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Koa ianao sy ny zanakaolahy ary ny mpanomponao no hiasa ny tany ho azy ka hanatitra hanin-kohanina ho an’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponao; fa Mefiboseta, zanakalahin’ ny tomponao, hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro mandrakariva. Ary Ziba nanana zanakalahy dimy ambin’ ny folo sy mpanompo roa-polo.
11 And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the king.
Ary hoy Ziba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Araka izay rehetra nandidianao mpanjaka tompoko no hataon’ ny mpanomponao. Fa ny amin’ i Mefiboseta, hoy Davida, dia hihinana eo amin’ ny latabatro toy ny anankiray amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy.
12 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.
Ary Mefiboseta nanan-janakalahy tanora, Mika no anarany. Ary izay rehetra nitoetra tao an-tranon’ i Ziba dia mpanompon’ i Mefiboseta avokoa.
13 But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king’s table: and he was lame of both feet.
Ary Mefiboseta nonina tany Jerosalema; fa teo amin’ ny latabatry ny mpanjaka no nihinanany mandrakariva; ary nalemy ny tongony roa.
