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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.
Potem je kralj David poslal in ga privedel iz hiše Amiélovega sina Mahírja, iz Lo Dabárja.
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.
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 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.
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 He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.
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 Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king’s table: and he was lame of both feet.
Tako je Mefibóšet prebival v Jeruzalemu, kajti nenehno je jedel pri kraljevi mizi, bil pa je hrom na obeh svojih stopalih.
