2 Samuela 9
1And David said, “Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
1PEA naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei toe ni ha tokotaha ʻi he fale ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ha ʻofa ki ai koeʻuhi ko Sonatane?”
2Now 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, “I am your servant.”
2Pea naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Saula ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Sipa. Pea ʻi heʻenau ui mai ia ke haʻu kia Tevita, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko Sipa koe?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au.”
3And the king said, “Is there not still someone 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.”
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻOku ʻikai toe koā ha tokotaha ʻoe fale ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngāue lelei fakaʻotua kiate ia?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku kei moʻui ha foha ʻo Sonatane ʻoku ketu.”
4The king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.”
4Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻOku nofo ia ki fē?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Makili, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmieli ʻi Lotipale.”
5Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.
5Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Tevita ke ʻomi ia mei he fale ʻo Makili, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmieli, mei Lotipale.
6And Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.”
6Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻene haʻu kia Tevita, ʻa Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo Sonatane, ko e foha ʻo Saula, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono mata, ʻo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Mifiposeti.” Pea naʻe tali ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au!”
7And 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.”
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he te u fakahā moʻoni kiate koe ʻae ʻofa, koeʻuhi ko Sonatane ko hoʻo tamai, pea te u toe ʻange kiate koe ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Saula ko hoʻo tamai; pea te ke maʻu hoʻo meʻakai mei hoku keinangaʻanga maʻuaipē.”
8And he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog such as I?”
8Pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke ke sio ai ki ha kulī mate ʻo hangē ko au?
9Then 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 grandson.
9Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe he tuʻi kia Sipa ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo u foaki ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Saula pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
10And you and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him and shall bring in the produce, that your master’s grandson may have bread to eat. But Mephibosheth your master’s grandson shall always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
10Pea ko ia te ke ngoueʻi ʻae fonua maʻana, ʻe koe mo hoʻo ngaahi foha, pea mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te ke utu mai, koeʻuhi ke ai ha meʻakai ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki: ka ʻe kai ʻe Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga maʻuaipē.” Pea ko eni naʻe ʻia Sipa ʻae fānau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma nima, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko uofulu.
11Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so will your servant do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table, like one of the king’s sons.
11Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “ʻO hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo fekau ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē hono fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE kai ʻa Mifiposeti ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga ʻoʻoku ʻo hangē ko ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi.”
12And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba’s house became Mephibosheth’s servants.
12Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mifiposeti ʻae foha siʻi ʻaia naʻe ui ko Mika. Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he fale ʻo Sipa naʻa nau tauhi kia Mifiposeti.
13So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate always at the king’s table. Now he was lame in both his feet.
13Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Mifiposeti ki Selūsalema; he naʻa ne kai maʻuaipē ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻoe tuʻi; pea naʻe ketu hono vaʻe fakatouʻosi.
