2 Samyèl 9
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Yon jou, David mande: -Pa rete yon moun menm nan fanmi Sayil la? Si genyen, mwen ta renmen aji byen avè l' poutèt Jonatan. 2 Te gen yon domestik ki t'ap travay lakay Sayil ki te rele Ziba. Yo fè chache l', yo mennen l' bay wa a. Wa a mande l': -Se ou menm nonm yo rele Ziba a? Li reponn: -Wi, monwa. Mwen la pou m' sèvi ou. 3 Wa a mande l': -Pa gen yon moun ki rete nan fanmi Sayil la, pou m' ka fè kichòy pou li jan mwen te pwomèt sa devan Bondye? Ziba reponn li: -Wi, gen yonn nan pitit gason Jonatan yo ki vivan toujou. Men, li enfim nan tou de pye l' yo. 4 Wa a mande l': -Kote l' ye? Ziba reponn: -Li kay Maki, pitit gason Amiyèl la, lavil Lodeba. 5 Se konsa, David voye chache l'. 6 Lè Mefibochèt, pitit Jonatan, pitit pitit Sayil la, rive, li mete ajenou, li bese tèt li rive atè devan David. David di l' konsa: -Mefibochèt? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, monwa. M' la pou m' sèvi ou. 7 David di l' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pral aji byen avè ou poutèt Jonatan, papa ou. M'ap renmèt ou tout tè ki te pou Sayil, granpapa ou. Lèfini, chak jou w'a vin manje sou tab avè m'. 8 Mefibochèt bese tèt li byen ba ankò, li di: -Monwa, poukisa w'ap okipe yon vye chen tou mouri tankou mwen? 9 Lè sa a, wa a rele Ziba, domestik Sayil la, li di l' konsa: -Mwen renmèt Mefibochèt, pitit pitit gason mèt ou a, tou sa ki te pou Sayil ak fanmi l'. 10 Ou men, ansanm ak pitit gason ou yo ak moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, nou pral travay tè a pou li. W'a pote rekòt la ba li pou rès fanmi l' ka jwenn manje pou yo manje. Men, Mefibochèt li menm ap toujou vin manje chak jou sou tab avè m'. Ziba te gen kenz pitit gason ak ven moun k'ap sèvi l'. 11 Ziba reponn li: -M'ap fè tou sa monwa ban m' lòd fè. Se konsa, Mefibochèt toujou manje sou tab ansanm ak David tankou si li te yonn nan pitit wa a. 12 Mefibochèt te gen yon pitit gason ki te piti joujou. Li te rele Mika. Tout moun ki te rete kay Ziba t'ap travay pou Mefibochèt. 13 Se konsa, Mefibochèt ki te enfim nan tou de pye l' yo rete lavil Jerizalèm. Li t'ap manje chak jou sou tab ansanm ak wa a.

2 Samyèl 9:1-7
2Sa 9:1-12. David Sends for Mephibosheth.
1-7. David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul--On inquiry, Saul's land steward was found, who gave information that there still survived Mephibosheth, a son of Jonathan who was five years old at his father's death, and whom David, then wandering in exile, had never seen. His lameness (2Sa 4:4) had prevented him from taking any part in the public contests of the time. Besides, according to Oriental notions, the younger son of a crowned monarch has a preferable claim to the succession over the son of a mere heir-apparent; and hence his name was never heard of as the rival of his uncle Ish-bosheth. His insignificance had led to his being lost sight of, and it was only through Ziba that David learned of his existence, and the retired life he passed with one of the great families in trans-jordanic Canaan who remained attached to the fallen dynasty. Mephibosheth was invited to court, and a place at the royal table on public days was assigned him, as is still the custom with Eastern monarchs. Saul's family estate, which had fallen to David in right of his wife (Nu 27:8), or been forfeited to the crown by Ish-bosheth's rebellion (2Sa 12:8), was provided (2Sa 9:11; also 2Sa 19:28), for enabling Mephibosheth to maintain an establishment suitable to his rank, and Ziba appointed steward to manage it, on the condition of receiving one-half of the produce in remuneration for his labor and expense, while the other moiety was to be paid as rent to the owner of the land (2Sa 19:29).
2 Samyèl 9:10
10. Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants--The mention of his sons and the slaves in his house was to show that Mephibosheth would be honored with an equipage "as one of the king's sons."
