II Samuel 9

Yon jou, David mande: -Pa rete yon moun menm nan fanmi Sayil la? Si genyen, mwen ta renmen aji byen avè l' poutèt Jonatan.

And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

Te gen yon domestik ki t'ap travay lakay Sayil ki te rele Ziba. Yo fè chache l', yo mennen l' bay wa a. Wa a mande l': -Se ou menm nonm yo rele Ziba a? Li reponn: -Wi, monwa. Mwen la pou m' sèvi ou.

And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.

Wa a mande l': -Pa gen yon moun ki rete nan fanmi Sayil la, pou m' ka fè kichòy pou li jan mwen te pwomèt sa devan Bondye? Ziba reponn li: -Wi, gen yonn nan pitit gason Jonatan yo ki vivan toujou. Men, li enfim nan tou de pye l' yo.

And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.

Wa a mande l': -Kote l' ye? Ziba reponn: -Li kay Maki, pitit gason Amiyèl la, lavil Lodeba.

And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo–debar.

Se konsa, David voye chache l'.

Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo–debar.

Lè Mefibochèt, pitit Jonatan, pitit pitit Sayil la, rive, li mete ajenou, li bese tèt li rive atè devan David. David di l' konsa: -Mefibochèt? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, monwa. M' la pou m' sèvi ou.

Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!

David di l' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pral aji byen avè ou poutèt Jonatan, papa ou. M'ap renmèt ou tout tè ki te pou Sayil, granpapa ou. Lèfini, chak jou w'a vin manje sou tab avè m'.

And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

Mefibochèt bese tèt li byen ba ankò, li di: -Monwa, poukisa w'ap okipe yon vye chen tou mouri tankou mwen?

And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

Lè sa a, wa a rele Ziba, domestik Sayil la, li di l' konsa: -Mwen renmèt Mefibochèt, pitit pitit gason mèt ou a, tou sa ki te pou Sayil ak fanmi l'.

Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.

Ou men, ansanm ak pitit gason ou yo ak moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, nou pral travay tè a pou li. W'a pote rekòt la ba li pou rès fanmi l' ka jwenn manje pou yo manje. Men, Mefibochèt li menm ap toujou vin manje chak jou sou tab avè m'. Ziba te gen kenz pitit gason ak ven moun k'ap sèvi l'.

Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Ziba reponn li: -M'ap fè tou sa monwa ban m' lòd fè. Se konsa, Mefibochèt toujou manje sou tab ansanm ak David tankou si li te yonn nan pitit wa a.

Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.

Mefibochèt te gen yon pitit gason ki te piti joujou. Li te rele Mika. Tout moun ki te rete kay Ziba t'ap travay pou Mefibochèt.

And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.

Se konsa, Mefibochèt ki te enfim nan tou de pye l' yo rete lavil Jerizalèm. Li t'ap manje chak jou sou tab ansanm ak wa a.

So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
