2 Sa:miuele 9
1 Eso afaega, Da: ibidi da amane adole ba: i, “Solo ea sosogo fi dunu afae da esalabala? Amai galea, na da Yonada: nema asigiba: le, ema asigi hou olelemu hanai gala.”
Then David asked, “Is there anyone left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for the sake of Jonathan?”
2 Solo ea sosogo fi hawa: hamosu dunu afae amo ea dio Siba da esalebe ba: i. Ilia da e Da: ibidima masa: ne sia: i. Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Sibala: ?” E bu adole i, “Ma! Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu!”
And there was a servant of Saul’s family named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the king inquired, “Are you Ziba?” “I am your servant,” he replied.
3 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Solo ea sosogo fi dunu afae esalabala? Na da na Godema ilegei defele, agoai dunuma asigi hou olelemusa: dawa: lala.” Siba da bu adole i, “Yonada: ne egefe afadafa fawane da esala. E da gasuga: igi gala.”
So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?” Ziba answered, “There is still Jonathan’s son, who is lame in both feet.”
4 Da: ibidi da adole ba: i, “E da habidili esalabala?” Siba da adole i, “E da Loudiba sogega, Ma: ige (A: miele egefe) amo ea diasua esala.”
“Where is he?” replied the king. And Ziba said, “Indeed, he is in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.”
5 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da Mifibousiede ema misa: ne sia: si.
So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.
6 Mifibousiede (Yonada: ne egefe amola Solo ea aowa) da doaga: loba, e da Da: ibidima nodoma: ne, e midadi begudui. Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Mifibousiede!” E bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu!”
And when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he fell facedown in reverence. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” “I am your servant,” he replied.
7 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Mae beda: ma! Na da dia ada Yonada: ne dawa: beba: le, dima asigiwane hamomu. Na da soge huluane amo dia aowa ea gagui, amo dima bu imunu. Amola di da eso huluane na diasuga ha: i manu da defea.”
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for surely I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
8 Mifibousiede da bu beguduli, amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na hou da wa: me bogoi amo ilia hou hame baligisa. Nama da noga: i hou agoai da hame hamomu galu.”
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog like me?”
9 Amalalu, Da: ibidi da Solo ea hawa: hamosu dunu, Siba, amo ema misa: ne wele sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Na da dia hina ea aowa amo Mifibousiede, ema liligi huluane amo Solo amola ea sosogo ilia musa: gagui liligi, amo ema bu imunu.
Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.
10 Di amola diagofelali amola dia hawa: hamosu dunu da Solo ea sosogo fi ilima ha: i manu ima: ne, ea soge amoga ha: i manu bugimu amola dadamini gaguli misa. Be Mifibousiede e fawane da eso hulu nina: ha: i nasu fafai amogai nasu hamomu.” (Siba egefelali da15agoane ba: i, amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da 20 agoane esalu).
You and your sons and servants are to work the ground for him and bring in the harvest, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, is always to eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Siba da bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hamoma: ne sia: i huluane amo defele hamomu!” Amaiba: le, Mifibousiede da hina bagade egefelali defele, Da: ibidi ea ha: i nasu fafai amoga fili, ha: i nasu.
And Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all that my lord the king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s own sons.
12 Mifibousiede da goi mano ea dio Maiga esalu. Siba ea sosogo huluane da Mifibousiede ea hawa: hamosu lai.
And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
13 Amalalu, Mifibousiede (ea emo aduna da gasuga: igi galu) e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu. E da ea ha: i manu huluane amo hina bagade ea ha: i nasu fafai amoga nasu.
So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was lame in both feet.
