| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan’s sake? | Et dixit David: Putasne est aliquis qui remanserit de domo Saul, ut faciam cum eo misericordiam propter Ionathan? |
| 2 | Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant. | Erat autem de domo Saul servus nomine Siba: quem cum vocasset rex ad se, dixit ei: Tune es Siba? Et ille respondit: Ego sum servus tuus. |
| 3 | And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet. | Et ait rex: Numquid superest aliquis de domo Saul, ut faciam cum eo misericordiam Dei? Dixitque Siba regi: Superest filius Ionathae, debilis pedibus. |
| 4 | Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar. | Ubi, inquit, est? Et Siba ad regem: Ecce, ait, in domo est Machir filii Ammiel, in Lodabar. |
| 5 | Then king David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar. | Misit ergo rex David, et tulit eum de domo Machir filii Ammiel, de Lodabar. |
| 6 | And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant. | Cum autem venisset Miphiboseth filius Ionathae filii Saul ad David, corruit in faciem suam, et adoravit. Dixitque David: Miphiboseth? Qui respondit: Adsum servus tuus. |
| 7 | And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always. | Et ait ei David: Ne timeas, quia faciens faciam in te misericordiam propter Ionathan patrem tuum, et restituam tibi omnes agros Saul patris tui: et tu comedes panem in mensa mea semper. |
| 8 | He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am? | Qui adorans eum, dixit: Quis ego sum servus tuus, quoniam respexisti super canem mortuum similem mei? |
| 9 | Then the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master’s son. | Vocavit itaque rex Sibam puerum Saul, et dixit ei: Omnia quaecumque fuerunt Saul, et universam domum eius, dedi filio domini tui. |
| 10 | Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master’s son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. | Operare igitur ei terram tu, et filii tui, et servi tui, et inferes filio domini tui cibos ut alatur: Miphiboseth autem filius domini tui comedet semper panem super mensam meam. Erant autem Sibae quindecim filii, et viginti servi. |
| 11 | And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the king. | Dixitque Siba ad regem: Sicut iussisti, domine mi rex, servo tuo, sic faciet servus tuus: et Miphiboseth comedet super mensam meam, quasi unus de filiis regis. |
| 12 | And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth. | Habebat autem Miphiboseth filium parvulum nomine Micha: omnis vero cognatio domus Sibae serviebat Miphiboseth. |
| 13 | But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king’s table: and he was lame of both feet. | Porro Miphiboseth habitabat in Ierusalem, quia de mensa regis iugiter vescebatur: et erat claudus utroque pede. |
