1A Dávid riekol: Či je ešte niekto, kto by bol pozostal z domu Saulovho? Lebo by som mu chcel učiniť milosť pre Jonatána.
1David said, “Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
2A dom Saulov mal sluhu, ktorému bolo meno Cíba. A zavolali ho k Dávidovi. A kráľ mu riekol: Či si ty Cíba? A on odpovedal: Som, tvoj služobník.
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.”
3Vtedy riekol kráľ: Či nie je už viacej nikoho z domu Saulovho? Lebo by som mu chcel učiniť milosť Božiu. A Cíba povedal kráľovi: Je ešte syn Jonatánov, chromý na nohy.
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.”
4A kráľ mu riekol: Kde je? A Cíba odpovedal kráľovi: Hľa, je v dome Machíra, syna Ammielovho, v Ló-debáre.
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.”
5Vtedy poslal kráľ Dávid po neho a vzal ho z domu Machíra, syna Ammielovho, z Ló-debára.
5Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
6A keď prišiel Mefibóšet, syn Jonatána, syna Saulovho, k Dávidovi, padol na svoju tvár a poklonil sa. A Dávid riekol: Mefibóšete! A on povedal: Hľa, tvoj služobník.
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!”
7A Dávid mu riekol: Neboj sa, lebo ti istotne učiním milosť pre Jonatána, tvojho otca, a navrátim ti všetko pole Saula, tvojho otca, a ty budeš jesť chlieb pri mojom stole vždycky.
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.”
8Vtedy sa poklonil a povedal: Čo je tvoj služobník, že si pohliadol na mŕtveho psa, aký som ja?
8He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?”
9Potom zavolal kráľ Cíbu, služobníka Saulovho, a riekol mu: Všetko, čo mal Saul a celý jeho dom, dal som synovi tvojho pána.
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.
10A budeš mu obrábať zem, ty i tvoji synovia i tvoji sluhovia a budeš donášať, a tak bude mať syn tvojho pána svoj chlieb a bude ho jesť, ale sám Mifibóšet, syn tvojho pána, bude vždycky jesť chlieb pri mojom stole. - A Cíba mal pätnásť synov a dvadsať sluhov.
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.
11Na to povedal Cíba kráľovi: Všetko, jako prikázal môj pán kráľ svojmu služobníkovi, tak učiní tvoj služobník. Ale Mefibóšet, jie pri mojom stole jako niektorý zo synov kráľových.
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.
12A Mefibóšet mal malého syna, ktorému bolo meno Mícha. A všetci, ktorí bývali v dome Cíbovom, boli služobníkmi Mefibóšetovi.
12Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
13A Mefibóšet býval v Jeruzaleme, pretože on vždy jedol pri stole kráľovom. A kríval na obe svoje nohy.
13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.
