2 Samuel 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 David asked, "Is there any survivor of Saul's house to whom I may show kindness for the sake of Jonathan?"	1 Jednoga dana upita David: »Ima li još koji preživjeli od Šaulove kuće da mu učinim milost zbog Jonatana?«
2 Now there was a servant of the family of Saul named Ziba. He was summoned to David, and the king asked him, "Are you Ziba?" He replied, "Your servant."	2 A bijaše u Šaulovoj kući sluga po imenu Siba: njega dozvaše pred Davida i kralj ga zapita: »Jesi li ti Siba?« A on odgovori: »Jesam, tvoj sluga!«
3 Then the king inquired, "Is there any survivor of Saul's house to whom I may show God's kindness?" Ziba answered the king, "There is still Jonathan's son, whose feet are crippled."	3 A kralj nastavi: »Zar nema više nikoga od Šaulove kuće da mu iskažem milost kao što je Božja milost?« A Siba odgovori kralju: »Ima još Jonatanov sin koji je hrom na obje noge.«
4 The king said to him, "Where is he?" and Ziba answered, "He is in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lodebar."	4 Kralj ga upita: »Gdje je on?« A Siba odgovori kralju: »Eno ga u kući Makira, sina Amielova, u Lo Debaru.«
5 So King David sent for him and had him brought from the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.	5 Tada kralj David posla po njega u kuću Makira, sina Amielova, iz Lo Debara.
6 When Meribbaal, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, he fell prostrate in homage. David said, "Meribbaal," and he answered, "Your servant."	6 Kad je Meribaal, sin Jonatana, sina Šaulova, došao k Davidu, pade ničice i pokloni se. A David reče: »Meribaale!« On odgovori: »Evo tvoga sluge!«
7 "Fear not," David said to him, "I will surely be kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the lands of your grandfather Saul, and you shall always eat at my table."	7 A David mu reče: »Ne boj se, jer ti želim iskazati milost zbog tvoga oca Jonatana. Vratit ću ti sva polja tvoga djeda Šaula, a ti ćeš svagda jesti kruh za mojim stolom.«
8 Bowing low, he answered, "What is your servant that you should pay attention to a dead dog like me?"	8 Meribaal se pokloni i reče: »Što je tvoj sluga te iskazuješ milost mrtvome psu kao što sam ja?«
9 The king then called Ziba, Saul's attendant, and said to him: "I am giving your lord's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his family.	9 Potom kralj dozva Sibu, Šaulova slugu, i reče mu: »Sve što je pripadalo Šaulu i njegovoj kući, sve to dajem sinu tvoga gospodara.
10 You and your sons and servants must till the land for him. You shall bring in the produce, which shall be food for your lord's family to eat. But Meribbaal, your lord's son, shall always eat at my table." Ziba, who had fifteen sons and twenty servants,	10 Ti ćeš mu sa svojim sinovima i sa svojim slugama obrađivati zemlju, od nje ćeš skupljati žetvu da obitelj tvoga gospodara ima kruha; a Meribaal, sin tvoga gospodara, jest će svagda za mojim stolom.« A Siba imaše petnaest sinova i dvadeset slugu.
11 said to the king, "Your servant shall do just as my lord the king has commanded him." And so Meribbaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.	11 Siba odgovori kralju: »Tvoj će sluga učiniti sve što je moj gospodar i kralj zapovjedio svome sluzi.« Meribaal je, dakle, jeo za Davidovim stolom kao jedan između kraljevih sinova.
12 Meribbaal had a young son whose name was Mica; and all the tenants of Ziba's family worked for Meribbaal.	12 Meribaal je imao maloga sina po imenu Mika. A svi koji su živjeli u Sibinoj kući bijahu u službi Meribaala.
13 But Meribbaal lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table. He was lame in both feet.	13 A Meribaal je boravio u Jeruzalemu, jer je uvijek jeo za kraljevim stolom. Bio je hrom na obje noge.
