撒母耳記下

第9章

1 大衛問說:「掃羅家還有剩下的人沒有?我要因約拿單的緣故向他施恩。」

2 掃羅家有一個僕人,名叫洗巴,有人叫他來見大衛,王問他說:「你是洗巴麼。」回答說:「[Thy]僕人是。」

3 王說:「掃羅家還有人沒有?我要照神的慈愛恩待他。」洗巴對王說:「還有約拿單的一個兒子,是瘸腿的。」

4 王說:「他在哪裏?」洗巴對王說:「他[Behold]在羅.底巴,亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏。」

5 於是大衛王打發人去,從羅.底巴亞米利的兒子瑪吉家裏召了他來。

6 掃羅的孫子、約拿單的兒子米非.波設來見大衛,伏地叩拜。大衛說:「米非.波設。」米非.波設說:「你的[thy]僕人在此。」

7 大衛對他[unto him]說:「不要[not]懼怕。我必因你父親約拿單的緣故施恩與你,將你祖父掃羅的一切地[all the land]都歸還你;你也可以常與我同席吃[bread]。」

8 米非.波設又叩拜,說:「你的[thy]僕人算甚麼,不過如死狗一般,竟蒙王這樣眷顧?」

9 王召了掃羅的僕人洗巴來,對他說:「我已將屬掃羅和他的一切家產都賜給你主人的兒子了。

10 你和你的眾子、僕人要為你主人的兒子米非.波設耕種地土[land],把所產的拿來供他食用;他卻要常與我同席吃[bread]。」洗巴有十五個兒子,二十個僕人。

11 洗巴對王說:「凡我主我王吩咐僕人的,[thy]僕人都必遵行。」王又說:「米非.波設必與我同席用餐[eat],如王的兒子一樣。」

12 米非.波設有一個小兒子,名叫米迦。凡住在洗巴家裏的人都作了米非.波設的僕人。

13 於是米非.波設住在耶路撒冷。因他[for he]常與王同席用餐[eat];他兩腿都是瘸的。

2 Samuel

Chapter 9

1 AND David said, Is there yet any one left of the house of Saul, that I may show kindness to him for Jonathan's sake?

2 Now there 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? And he said, I am your servant.

3 And the king said to him, Is there any one still left of the house of Saul, that I may show kindness to him for the sake of God? And Ziba said to the king, There is yet a son left to Jonathan, who is lame in his feet.

4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Gammir, in Lo-debar.

5 Then King David sent and took him from the house of Machir, the son of Gammir, from Lo-debar.

6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to David, he fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said to him, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!

7 And David said to him, Fear not; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.

8 And he bowed himself and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon me? For I am like a dead dog.

9 Then the king called to Ziba and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's son.

10 You therefore and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him, and you shall bring in food for your master's son, that he may eat; but Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Then Ziba said to the king, Whatever my lord the king commands his servant, so shall your servant do. So Mephibosheth ate bread at the king's table, as one of the king's sons.

12 And Mephibosheth had a little son, whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table; and he was lame in both his feet.

12 米非.波設有一個小兒子,名叫米迦。凡住在洗巴家裏的人都作了米非.波設的僕人。

12 And Mephibosheth had a little son, whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

13 於是米非.波設住在耶路撒冷。因他[for he]常與王同席用餐[eat];他兩腿都是瘸的。

13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table; and he was lame in both his feet.
