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.”

And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because 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!”

Now there was of Saul's people a servant named Ziba, and they sent him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, I am.

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.”

And the king said, Is there anyone of Saul's family still living, to whom I may be a friend in God's name? And Ziba said, There is a son of Jonathan, whose feet are damaged.

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.”

And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

5 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da Mifibousiede ema misa: ne sia: si.

Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.

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 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.

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.”

And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

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.”

And he went down on his face before the king, and said, What is your servant, for you to take note of a dead dog such as I am?

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 sent for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All the property of Saul and of his family I have given to your master's son.

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).

And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. 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.

Then Ziba said to the king, Every order which you have given to your servant will be done. As for Mephibosheth, he had a place at David's table, like one of the king's 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 the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to 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 went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.
