WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 David preguntó: ¿Queda alguien vivo de la familia de Saúl a quien yo pueda mostrar bondad por amor a Jonatán?
1 David said, “Is there yet any who is left of Saul’s house, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
2 Había un servidor de la familia de Saúl llamado Siba. Lo llevaron ante David, y el rey le preguntó: ¿Eres Siba? Él respondió: Sí, soy tu siervo.
2 There was of Saul’s house a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” He said, “I am your servant.”
3 El rey preguntó: ¿Queda alguien de la familia de Saúl a quien yo pueda mostrar la bondad de Dios? Siba respondió: Todavía vive un hijo de Jonatán que tiene los dos pies lisiados.
3 The king said, “Is there not yet any of Saul’s house, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “Jonathan still has a son, who is lame in his feet.”
4 El rey preguntó: ¿Dónde está? Siba respondió: Está en la casa de Maquir, hijo de Amiel, en Lo-debar.
4 The 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.”
5 Entonces el rey David mandó traerlo de la casa de Maquir, hijo de Amiel, en Lo-debar.
5 Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
6 Mefiboset, hijo de Jonatán y nieto de Saúl, llegó ante David y se inclinó rostro en tierra para mostrarle respeto. David dijo: Mefiboset. Él respondió: Aquí está tu siervo.
6 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, fell on his face, and showed respect. David said, “Mephibosheth?” He answered, “Behold, your servant!”
7 David le dijo: No tengas miedo. Ciertamente te mostraré bondad por amor a tu padre Jonatán. Te devolveré todas las tierras que pertenecían a Saúl, tu abuelo, y comerás siempre a mi mesa.
7 David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, 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 will eat bread at my table continually.”
8 Mefiboset volvió a inclinarse y dijo: ¿Qué es tu siervo para que prestes atención a un perro muerto como yo?
8 He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look at such a dead dog as I am?”
9 Entonces el rey llamó a Siba, servidor de Saúl, y le dijo: He dado al hijo de tu señor todas las propiedades que pertenecían a Saúl y a su familia.
9 Then the king called to 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 son.
10 Tú, tus hijos y tus servidores trabajarán la tierra y recogerán sus frutos para que el hijo de tu señor tenga alimento. Pero Mefiboset, hijo de tu señor, comerá siempre a mi mesa. Siba tenía quince hijos y veinte servidores.
10 Till the land for him—you, your sons, and your servants. Bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth your master’s son will always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Siba respondió al rey: Tu siervo hará todo lo que mi señor el rey ha ordenado. Así Mefiboset comía a la mesa de David como uno de los hijos del rey.
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth ate at the king’s table like one of the king’s sons.
12 Mefiboset tenía un hijo pequeño llamado Mica. Todos los que vivían en la casa de Siba eran servidores de Mefiboset.
12 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All who lived in Ziba’s house were servants to Mephibosheth.
13 Mefiboset vivió en Jerusalén porque comía siempre a la mesa del rey. Tenía los dos pies lisiados.
13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.
