Otra Samuela 9
1 Un Dāvids sacīja: vai vēl ir kāds, kas atlicies no Saula nama, ka es tam žēlastību parādu Jonatāna dēļ?
Then David asked, “Is there anyone left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for the sake of Jonathan?”
2 Un Saula namam bija kalps, Cībus vārdā, un tas tapa aicināts Dāvida priekšā. Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: vai tu esi Cībus? Un viņš sacīja: esmu, tavs kalps.
And there was a servant of Saul’s family named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king inquired, “Are you Ziba?” “I am your servant,” he replied.
3 Un ķēniņš sacīja: vai vēl kāds nav no Saula nama, ka es Dieva žēlastību tam parādu? Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: Vēl ir viens Jonatāna dēls, tizls uz abām kājām.
So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?” Ziba answered, “There is still Jonathan’s son, who is lame in both feet.”
4 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kur tas ir? Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: redzi, viņš ir Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, namā, Lodabarā.
“Where is he?” replied the king. And Ziba said, “Indeed, he is in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.”
5 Tad ķēniņš Dāvids nosūtīja un to ņēma no Mahira, Amiēļa dēla, nama, no Lodabaras.
So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.
6 Kad nu Mefibošets, Jonatāna dēls, Saula dēla dēls, pie Dāvida nāca tad viņš metās uz savu vaigu un klanījās. Un Dāvids sacīja: Mefibošet! Un viņš sacīja: redzi, še tavs kalps.
And when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he fell facedown in reverence. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” “I am your servant,” he replied.
7 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: nebīsties, es tiešām tev parādīšu žēlastību tava tēva Jonatāna dēļ, un tev atdošu visus tava tēva Saula tīrumus, un tev būs vienmēr maizi ēst pie mana galda.
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for surely I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 Un tas paklanījās un sacīja: kas tavs kalps tāds ir, ka tu uzlūko nomirušu suni, kāds es esmu?
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog like me?”
9 Tad ķēniņš aicināja Cību, Saula kalpu, un uz to sacīja: visu, kas Saulam un viņa namam piederēja, to es esmu devis tava kunga dēlam.
Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.
10 Tāpēc strādā tu viņam to zemi, tu ar saviem dēliem un ar saviem kalpiem, un savāc, ka tava kunga dēlam ir maizes ko ēst, un Mefibošets, tava kunga dēls, lai vienmēr ēd maizi pie mana galda. Bet Cībum bija piecpadsmit dēli un divdesmit kalpi.
You and your sons and servants are to work the ground for him and bring in the harvest, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, is always to eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Un Cībus sacīja uz ķēniņu: visu, ko mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, savam kalpam pavēl, to tavs kalps darīs. Un Mefibošets lai ēd pie mana galda tāpat, kā viens no ķēniņa bērniem.
And Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all that my lord the king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s own sons.
12 Un Mefibošetam bija mazs dēls, vārdā Miha, un visi, kas Cībus namā dzīvoja, tie Mefibošetam bija par kalpiem.
And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
13 Un Mefibošets dzīvoja Jeruzālemē, tāpēc ka viņš vienmēr ēda pie ķēniņa galda. Un viņš bija tizls uz abām kājām.
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was lame in both feet.
