< II Samuel 9 >

1 Kinuna ni David, “Adda pay kadi nabati iti pamilia ni Saul a mabalin a pangipakitaak ti kinasayaat gapu kenni Jonatan?”
And David said, Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2 Adda ti sigud nga adipen ti pamilia ni Saul nga agnagan ti Siba, ket inayabanda daytoy a sumango kenni David. Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Sika kadi ni Siba?” Simmungbat isuna, “Wen apo. Siak ti adipenmo.”
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David. And the king said to him, Are thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 Isu a kinuna ti ari, “Awan kadin ti nabati iti pamilia ni Saul a mabalin a pangipakitaak iti kinasayaat ti Dios?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Adda pay laeng ti putot a lalaki ni Jonatan, a pilay dagiti sakana.”
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son who is lame in his feet.
4 Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Sadino ti ayanna?” Simmungbat ni Siba iti ari, “Kitaem, adda isuna idiay balay ni Makir a putot a lalaki ni Ammiel idiay Lo Debar.”
And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
5 Nangibaon ngarud ni David iti mapan mangiruar kenkuana manipud iti balay ni Makir a putot a lalaki ni Ammiel manipud Lo Debar.
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
6 Napan ngarud ni Mefiboset a putot a lalaki ni Jonatan, nga apoko ni Saul, kenni David ket nagrukob isuna a nakadekket ti rupana iti daga kas panagpadayawna kenni David. Kinuna ni David, “Mefiboset.” Simmungbat isuna, “Adtoyak, siak ti adipenmo!”
And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold, thy servant!
7 Kinuna ni David kenkuana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, ta awan duadua nga ipakitak kenka ti kinasayaat gapu kenni amam a ni Jonatan, isublik kenka dagiti amin a daga daydi Saul nga apongmo, ken kanayonka a mangan iti lamisaanko.'”
And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore to thee all the land of Saul thy father, and thou shall eat bread at my table continually.
8 Nagdumog ni Mefiboset sana kinuna, “Ania koma daytoy adipenmo, a pakitaam ti pabor iti kasla natay nga aso a kas kaniak?”
And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant that thou should look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 Ket pinaayaban ti ari ni Siba nga adipen ni Saul, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Intedkon iti putot a lalaki ti amom dagiti amin a sanikua ni Saul ken ti pamiliana.
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house I have given to thy master's son.
10 Sika ti mangtalon ti daga para kenkuana, sika ken dagiti putotmo a lallaki ken dagiti adipenmo, ken nasken nga apitenyo dagiti mula tapno adda taraon a kanen ti apoko ti sigud nga amom. Ngem kanayon a mangan ni Mefiboset nga apoko ti sigud nga amom iti lamisaanko.” Ita addaan iti 15 a putot a lallaki ken 20 nga adipen ni Siba.
And thou shall till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants. And thou shall bring in the fruits that thy master's son may have bread to eat, but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall always eat bread at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Ket kinuna ni Siba iti ari, “Aramiden ti adipenmo dagiti amin nga imbilin ti amok nga ari iti adipenna.” Kinunana pay ti ari, “No maipapan kenni Mefiboset mangan isuna iti lamisaanko, kas maysa kadagiti annak ti ari.”
Then Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, the king said, he shall eat at my table as one of the king's sons.
12 Addaan ni Mefiboset iti putot nga agtutubo a lalaki nga agnagan Mika. Ket dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti balay ni Siba ket adipen ni Mefiboset.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
13 Nagnaed ngarud ni Mefiboset idiay Jerusalem, ken kanayon isuna a mangmangan iti lamisaan ti ari, uray agpada a pilay dagiti sakana.
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet.
