2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
Konsa, David te di: “Èske genyen toujou yon moun ki te rete pou lakay Saül, pou m ta kab montre li favè pou koz Jonathan?”
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.
Alò, te genyen yon sèvitè lakay Saül ki te rele Tsiba. Konsa yo te rele li kote David, e wa a te di li: “Èske ou se Tsiba?” Epi li te reponn: “Men sèvitè ou.”
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
Wa a te di: “Èske pa gen moun toujou lakay Saül pou mwen ta kab montre favè Bondye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Genyen toujou yon fis a Jonathan ki kokobe nan tou de pye li.”
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.
Konsa, wa a te di li: “Se kibò li ye?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Gade byen, li nan kay Makir a, fis Ammiel la nan Lodebar.”
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
Epi Wa David te voye mennen li soti lakay Makir, fis a Ammiel la nan Lodebar.
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!
Méphiboscheth, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Saül, te vini a David. Li te tonbe sou figi li bese atè nèt. Epi David te di: “Méphiboscheth?” Epi li te di: “Men mwen, sèvitè ou!”
7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew 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 te di li: “Pa pè, paske anverite, mwen va montre ou ladousè pou koz papa ou, Jonathan, e mwen va restore a ou menm tout tè a granpapa ou, Saül. Epi, konsa, ou va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.”
8 And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Ankò, li te bese atè, e te di: “Se kisa ke sèvitè ou ye pou ou ta dwe gade yon chen mouri tankou mwen?”
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.
Konsa, wa a te rele sèvitè a Saül la, Tsiba. Li te di li: “Tout sa ki te pou Saül ak pou lakay li yo, mwen te vin bay yo a gran pitit a mèt ou a.
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.
Ou menm avèk fis ou yo avèk sèvitè ou yo va kiltive tè a pou li, e ou va rekòlte jis pou pitit a mèt ou a kapab genyen manje. Sepandan, Méphiboscheth, gran fis a mèt ou a, va manje tout tan sou tab mwen.” Alò, Tsiba te gen kenz fis ak ven sèvitè.
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 kings sons.
Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Selon tout sa ke mèt mwen, wa a, kòmande sèvitè li a, konsa sèvitè ou a va fè.” Konsa, Méphiboscheth te manje sou tab David la, tankou youn nan fis a wa yo.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
Méphiboscheth te gen yon jèn fis ki te rele Mica. Epi tout sila ki te rete lakay Tsiba yo te sèvitè a Méphiboscheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and he was lame on both his feet.
Konsa, Méphiboscheth te rete Jérusalem, paske li te manje sou tab a wa a tout tan. Alò, li te kokobe nan toude pye li.
