사무엘하 9

1다윗이 가로되 사울의 집에 오히려 남은 사람이 있느냐 내가 요나단을 인하여 그 사람에게 은총을 베풀리라 하니라 2사울의 종 하나가 있으니 그 이름은 시바라 저를 다윗의 앞으로 부르매 왕이 저에게 묻되 네가 시바냐 가로되 종이 그로소이다 3왕이 가로되 사울의 집에 남은 사람이 없느냐 내가 그 사람에게 하나님의 은총을 베풀고자 하노라 시바가 왕께 고하되 요나단의 아들 하나가 있는데 절뚝발이니이다 4왕이 저에게 묻되 그가 어디 있느냐 시바가 왕에게 고하되 로드발 암미엘의 아들 마길의 집에 있나이다 5다윗 왕이 사람을 보내어 로드발 암미엘의 아들 마길의 집에서 저를 데려오니 6사울의 손자 요나단의 아들 므비보셋이 다윗에게 나아와서 엎드려 절하매 다윗이 가로되 므비보셋이여 하니 대답하되 주의 종이 여기 있나이다 7다윗이 가로되 무서워 말라 내가 반드시 네 아비 요나단을 인하여 네게 은총을 베풀리라 내가 네 조부 사울의 밭을 다 네게 도로 주겠고 또 너는 항상 내 상에서 먹을지니라 8저가 절하여 가로되 이 종이 무엇이관대 왕께서 죽은 개 같은 나를 돌아보시나이까 9왕이 사울의 사환 시바를 불러서 이르되 사울과 그 온 집에 속한 것은 내가 다 네 주인의 아들에게 주었노니 10너와 네 아들들과 네 종들은 저를 위하여 밭을 갈고 거두어 네 주인의 아들을 공궤하라 그러나 네 주인의 아들 므비보셋은 항상 내 상에서 먹으리라 하니라 시바는 아들이 열다섯이요 종이 스물이라 11시바가 왕께 고하되 내 주 왕께서 온갖 일을 종에게 명하신 대로 종이 준행하겠나이다 하니라 므비보셋은 왕자 중 하나처럼 왕의 상에서 먹으니라 12므비보셋에게 젊은 아들 하나가 있으니 이름은 미가더라 무릇 시바의 집에 거하는 자들은 므비보셋의 종이 되니라 13므비보셋이 항상 왕의 상에서 먹으므로 예루살렘에 거하니라 그는 두 발이 다 절뚝이더라

1David said, “Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2There 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 you Ziba?” He said, “Your servant is he.” 3The king said, “Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet.” 4The king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.” 5Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 6Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face, and showed respect. David said, “Mephibosheth.” He answered, “Behold, your servant!” 7David said to him, “Don’t be afraid of him; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You shall eat bread at my table continually.” 8He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?” 9Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master’s son. 10You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants; and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth your master’s son shall eat bread always at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your shall servant do.” So Mephibosheth ate at the king’s table, like one of the king’s sons. 12Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth. 13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.

1En David zeide: Is er nog iemand die overgebleven is van het huis van Saul, dat ik weldadigheid aan hem doe, om Jonathans wil? 2Het huis van Saul nu had een knecht, wiens naam was Ziba; en zij riepen hem tot David. En de koning zeide tot hem: Zijt gij Ziba? En hij zeide: Uw knecht. 3En de koning zeide: Is er nog iemand van het huis van Saul, dat ik Gods weldadigheid bij hem doe? Toen zeide Ziba tot den koning: Er is nog een zoon van Jonathan, die geslagen is aan beide voeten. 4En de koning zeide tot hem: Waar is hij? En Ziba zeide tot den koning: Zie, hij is in het huis van Machir, den zoon van Ammiel, te Lodebar. 5Toen zond de koning David heen, en hij nam hem uit het huis van Machir, den zoon van Ammiel, van Lodebar. 6Als nu Mefiboseth, de zoon van Jonathan, den zoon van Saul, tot David inkwam, zo viel hij op zijn aangezicht, en boog zich neder. En David zeide: Mefiboseth! En hij zeide: Zie, hier is uw knecht. 7En David zeide tot hem: Vrees niet, want ik zal zekerlijk weldadigheid bij u doen, om uws vaders Jonathans wil; en ik zal u alle akkers van uw vader Saul wedergeven; en gij zult geduriglijk brood eten aan mijn tafel. 8Toen boog hij zich, en zeide: Wat is uw knecht, dat gij omgezien hebt naar een doden hond, als ik ben? 9Toen riep de koning Ziba, Sauls jongen, en zeide tot hem: Al wat Saul gehad heeft, en zijn ganse huis, heb ik den zoon uws heren gegeven. 10Daarom zult gij voor hem het land bearbeiden, gij, en uw zonen, en uw knechten, en zult de vruchten inbrengen, opdat de zoon uws heren brood hebbe, dat hij ete; en Mefiboseth, de zoon uws heren, zal geduriglijk brood eten aan mijn tafel. Ziba nu had vijftien zonen en twintig knechten. 11En Ziba zeide tot den koning: Naar alles, wat mijn heer de koning zijn knecht gebiedt, alzo zal uw knecht doen. Ook zou Mefiboseth, etende aan mijn tafel, als een van des konings zonen zijn. 12Mefiboseth nu had een kleinen zoon, wiens naam was Micha; en allen, die in het huis van Ziba woonden, waren knechten van Mefiboseth. 13Alzo woonde Mefiboseth te Jeruzalem, omdat hij geduriglijk at aan des konings tafel; en hij was kreupel aan beide zijn voeten.
