II Samuel, 9
1. Davi disse: “Terá ficado alguém da casa de Saul a quem eu possa beneficiar em memória de Jônatas?”.
1. And David said, "Is there still any one left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
2. Ora, havia na família de Saul um servo chamado Siba. Levaram-no à presença de Davi, que lhe disse: “És tu mesmo Siba?”. “Para servir-te’’ – respondeu ele.
2. Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "Your servant is he."
3. Tornou o rei: “Haverá ainda alguém da família de Saul a quem eu possa fazer misericórdia da parte de Deus?”. “Há ainda um filho de Jônatas – respondeu Siba –, aleijado dos dois pés”.
3. And the king said, "Is there not still some one of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in his feet."
4. E o rei perguntou: “Onde está ele?”. Siba respondeu: “Está na casa de Maquir, filho de Amiel, de Lo-Dabar”.
4. The king said to him, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "He is in the house of Machir the son of Am'miel, at Lo-debar."
5. E o rei mandou buscá-lo na casa de Maquir, filho de Amiel, de Lo-Dabar.
5. Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Am'miel, at Lo-debar.
6. Quando Mifiboset, filho de Jônatas, neto de Saul, chegou diante de Davi, prostrou-se com o rosto por terra. Davi disse-lhe: “Mifiboset!”. “Para servir-te” – respondeu ele.
6. And Mephib'osheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said, "Mephib'osheth!" And he answered, "Behold, your servant."
7. Davi disse-lhe: “Não temas. Quero fazer-te bem em memória de teu pai Jônatas e te restituirei todos os bens de Saul, teu avô. Comerás à minha mesa”.
7. And David said to him, "Do not fear; for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat at my table always."
8. Mifiboset prostrou-se, dizendo: “Quem é o teu servo para que dês atenção a um cão morto como eu?”.
8. And he did obeisance, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look upon a dead dog such as I?"
9. O rei chamou Siba, servo de Saul, e lhe disse: “Tudo o que pertenceu a Saul e à sua casa, darei ao filho de teu senhor.
9. Then the king called 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.
10. Lavrarás a terra para ele, tu, teus filhos e tua gente e levarás o produto de teu trabalho para servir de alimento à família de teu senhor. Quanto a Mifiboset, filho de teu senhor, ele comerá sempre à minha mesa”. Ora, Siba tinha quinze filhos e vinte escravos.
10. And you and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him, and shall bring in the produce, that your master's son may have bread to eat; but Mephib'osheth your master's son shall always eat at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11. Siba disse ao rei: “Teu servo fará o que o rei, meu senhor, lhe ordenou”. Mifiboset comia, pois, à mesa do rei como um de seus filhos.
11. Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so will your servant do." So Mephib'osheth ate at David's table, like one of the king's sons.
12. Tinha ele um filho menor chamado Micas. Todos os que pertenciam à casa de Siba estavam a serviço de Mifiboset.
12. And Mephib'osheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in Ziba's house became Mephib'osheth's servants.
13. Este habitava em Jerusalém, pois comia todos os dias à mesa do rei e era paralítico dos dois pés.
13. So Mephib'osheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he ate always at the king's table. Now he was lame in both his feet.
