OET (OET-LV) And_ Tsīⱱāʼ _he/it_said to the_king according_to_all that my_master he_will_command the_king DOM servant_of_his so servant_of_your he_will_do and_Mephibshet was_eating on table_of_my like_one from_(the)_sons of_the_king.
OET (OET-RV) “Yes, my master the king,” Tsiva responded. “Your servant will do everything you’ve commanded.”
¶ So from then on, Mefiboshet always ate at the king’s table as if he was one of the king’s sons.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Tsīⱱāʼ/(Ziba) to/towards the=king according,to_all which/who commands my=master the=king DOM servant_of,his yes/correct/thus/so he/it_made/did servant_of,your and,Mephibosheth ate on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my like=one from=(the)_sons of,the_king )
Ziba is speaking about David respectfully and about himself humbly in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his reference to David in the second person and his reference to himself in the first person. Alternate translation: [you, my lord the king, command me, your servant, thus shall I do]

יְצַוֶּ֜ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Tsīⱱāʼ/(Ziba) to/towards the=king according,to_all which/who commands my=master the=king DOM servant_of,his yes/correct/thus/so he/it_made/did servant_of,your and,Mephibosheth ate on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my like=one from=(the)_sons of,the_king )
Ziba is using a verb form that describes action in the present. The implication is that he will do not just what David has commanded him on this occasion but also anything further that David might command him in the future regarding Mephibosheth. Use an appropriate verb form in your language to convey this sense.

The author is quoting David’s words directly, perhaps to show that his command was carried out. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [at his table]
OET (OET-LV) And_ Tsīⱱāʼ _he/it_said to the_king according_to_all that my_master he_will_command the_king DOM servant_of_his so servant_of_your he_will_do and_Mephibshet was_eating on table_of_my like_one from_(the)_sons of_the_king.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
