2 Samuel 9
1 One day David asked, “Is there anyone who is a descendant of Saul to whom I can be kind?” He asked this because he wanted to honor Jonathan.
David je rekel: »Je še kakšen, ki je preostal od Savlove hiše, da mu lahko zaradi Jonatana izkažem prijaznost?«
2 [They told him that] there was [in Jerusalem] a man named Ziba who had been a servant of Saul’s family. So [David sent messengers to summon Ziba. When he arrived], the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, I am.”
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 The king asked him, “Is there anyone in Saul’s family to whom I can be kind, [as I promised Jonathan that I would do]?” Ziba replied, “Yes, there is one son of Jonathan who is still [alive]. His feet are crippled.”
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 The king asked him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied, “He is [living] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar [city east of the Jordan River].”
Kralj mu je rekel: »Kje se nahaja?« Cibá je rekel kralju: »Glej, v hiši Amiélovega sina Mahírja v Lo Dabárju je.«
5 So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
Potem je kralj David poslal in ga privedel iz hiše Amiélovega sina Mahírja, iz Lo Dabárja.
6 When Mephibosheth came to David, he knelt down with his face on the ground, to show respect. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, how may I serve you?”
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 David said to him, “Do not be afraid; I will be kind to you because Jonathan your father [was my loyal friend]. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul. And [I want] you to always eat with me at my house [MTY].”
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 Mephibosheth bowed [in front of David again] and said, “Sir, I am [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog; I do not deserve [RHQ] that you be kind to me!”
Priklonil se je in rekel: »Kaj je tvoj služabnik, da bi pogledal na takšnega mrtvega psa, kot sem jaz?«
9 Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “Saul was your master; now I am giving to Mephibosheth everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
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 You and your 15 sons and your 20 servants must till/plow the land for Mephibosheth’s [family], and [plant crops] and harvest them, in order that they will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth will eat food with me at my house.”
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 Ziba replied to the king, “Your majesty, I will do everything that you have commanded me to do.” So [after that], Mephibosheth always ate at the king’s table, as though he were 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 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All of Ziba’s family became servants of 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 And Mephibosheth, who was still crippled in both of his feet, started to live in Jerusalem, and he always ate (at the king’s table/with the king).
Tako je Mefibóšet prebival v Jeruzalemu, kajti nenehno je jedel pri kraljevi mizi, bil pa je hrom na obeh svojih stopalih.
