II Samuel 9
1 Kinuna ni David, “Adda pay kadi nabati iti pamilia ni Saul a mabalin a pangipakitaak ti kinasayaat gapu kenni Jonatan?”
David said, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him 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.”
There was a man called Ziba who used to be a servant of Saul's family. They called for him to come to David, and the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” “Yes, I am your servant,” he replied.
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.”
The king asked him, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him as I promised before God?” “There's still one of Jonathan's sons, who is lame in both feet,” Ziba replied.
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.”
“Where is he?” asked the king. “He's in the town of Lo-debar, living in the home of Machir, son of Ammiel,” Ziba replied.
5 Nangibaon ngarud ni David iti mapan mangiruar kenkuana manipud iti balay ni Makir a putot a lalaki ni Ammiel manipud Lo Debar.
So King David had him brought from Machir's home.
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!”
When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, he bowed facedown to the ground in respect. Then David said, “Welcome Mephibosheth.” “I am your servant,” he replied.
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.'”
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for I will truly be kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land owned by your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 Nagdumog ni Mefiboset sana kinuna, “Ania koma daytoy adipenmo, a pakitaam ti pabor iti kasla natay nga aso a kas kaniak?”
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should pay any attention to a dead dog like me?”
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 for Saul's servant Ziba and told him, “I have given to your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
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.
You and your sons and workers are to farm the ground for him and bring in the produce, so that your master's grandson will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, will always eat at my table.” Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty workers.
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.”
Ziba replied to the king, “My lord the king, your servant will do everything that you have commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David's table like 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.
Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All the people who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants.
13 Nagnaed ngarud ni Mefiboset idiay Jerusalem, ken kanayon isuna a mangmangan iti lamisaan ti ari, uray agpada a pilay dagiti sakana.
But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table. He was lame in both feet.
