2 Samuel 9
1 David said, “Is there yet any who is left of Saul’s house, that I may show 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 There was of Saul’s house a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” He said, “I am your servant.”
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 The king said, “Is there not yet any of Saul’s house, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “Jonathan still has a son, who is lame in 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 The king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba said to 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 brought 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 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, fell on his face, and showed respect. David said, “Mephibosheth?” He answered, “Behold, your 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 David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You will 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 He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look at 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 to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your 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 Till the land for him—you, your sons, and your servants. Bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth your master’s son will always eat bread 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 Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth ate at the king’s table like one of the king’s 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 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All who lived in Ziba’s house were servants to 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 lived in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in 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.
