SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وقال داود هل يوجد بعد احد قد بقي من بيت شاول فاصنع معه معروفا من اجل يوناثان.	1 And David said, “Do you think that there could be anyone left from the house of Saul, so that I might show mercy to him because of Jonathan?”
2 وكان لبيت شاول عبد اسمه صيبا فاستدعوه الى داود وقال له الملك أأنت صيبا. فقال عبدك.	2 Now there was, from the house of Saul, a servant named Ziba. And when the king had called him to himself, he said to him, “Are you not Ziba?” And he responded, “I am your servant.”
3 فقال الملك ألا يوجد بعد احد لبيت شاول فاصنع معه احسان الله. فقال صيبا للملك بعد ابن ليوناثان اعرج الرجلين.	3 And the king said, “Could there be anyone alive from the house of Saul, so that I may show the mercy of God to him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is left alive a son of Jonathan, with disabled feet.”
4 فقال له الملك اين هو. فقال صيبا للملك هوذا هو في بيت ماكير بن عميئيل في لودبار.	4 “Where is he?” he said. And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.”
5 فارسل الملك داود واخذه من بيت ماكير بن عميئيل من لودبار.	5 Therefore, king David sent and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 فجاء مفيبوشث بن يوناثان بن شاول الى داود وخرّ على وجهه وسجد. فقال داود يا مفيبوشث. فقال هانذا عبدك.	6 And when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell upon his face, and he reverenced. And David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he responded, “Your servant is here.”
7 فقال له داود لا تخف. فاني لاعملنّ معك معروفا من اجل يوناثان ابيك وارد لك كل حقول شاول ابيك وانت تاكل خبزا على مائدتي دائما.	7 And David said to him: “Do not be afraid. For I will certainly show mercy to you because of your father Jonathan. And I will restore to you all the fields of your father Saul. And you shall eat bread at my table always.”
8 فسجد وقال من هو عبدك حتى تلتفت الى كلب ميت مثلي	8 And reverencing him, he said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should look with favor upon a dead dog like me?”
9 ودعا الملك صيبا غلام شاول وقال له. كل ما كان لشاول ولكل بيته قد دفعته لابن سيدك.	9 And so, the king called Ziba, the servant of Saul, and he said to him: “Everything whatsoever that belonged to Saul, and his entire house, I have given to the son of your lord.
10 فتشتغل له في الارض انت وبنوك وعبيدك وتستغل ليكون لابن سيدك خبز ليأكل. ومفيبوشث ابن سيدك يأكل دائما خبزا على مائدتي. وكان لصيبا خمسة عشر ابنا وعشرون عبدا.	10 And so, work the land for him, you and your sons and your servants. And you shall bring in food for the son of your lord, for nourishment. And Mephibosheth, the son of your lord, shall always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 فقال صبيا للملك حسب كل ما يامر به سيدي الملك عبده كذلك يصنع عبدك. فياكل مفيبوشث على مائدتي كواحد من بني الملك.	11 And Ziba said to the king: “Just as my lord has ordered your servant, so will your servant do. And Mephibosheth shall eat at my table, like one of the sons of the king.”
12 وكان لمفيبوشث ابن صغير اسمه ميخا. وكان جميع ساكني بيت صيبا عبيدا لمفيبوشث.	12 Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. Truly, all the kindred of the house of Ziba served Mephibosheth.
13 فسكن مفيبوشث في اورشليم لانه كان ياكل دائما على مائدة الملك. وكان اعرج من رجليه كلتيهما	13 But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem. For he was fed always from the table of the king. And he was lame in both feet.
