< 2 Samuel 9 >
1 “Nikhat David in adongin, Saul insung mite khat beh ahing naum nalai’u vem? Jonathan jal'a keiman khutona kamusah thei ding tin adongin ahile,
Daudi akauliza, “Je, hakuna mtu hata mmoja wa nyumba ya Sauli aliyebaki ambaye naweza kumtendea wema kwa ajili ya Yonathani?”
2 Saul insunga soh natong ho lah a mi khat anaum khan ama chu amin Ziba akiti; Hichun lengpan jong amapa chu adongin, “Nang hi Ziba nahi hinam?” tin adongin ahileh. Hichun Ziba in jong adonbut in“Henge keima Ziba chu kahinai,” ati.
Basi palikuwepo mtumishi wa nyumba ya Sauli aliyeitwa Siba. Wakamwita aje mbele ya Daudi, naye mfalme akamwambia, “Wewe ndiwe Siba?” Akamjibu, “Naam, mimi ndiye mtumishi wako.”
3 Chuin lengpan adongin, “Saul insung mi khat beh ahingdoh um nalailou ham? Aum leh, keiman Pathen mi khutona chu kamusah nom uve atileh; Ziban jong lengpa ahindonbut in, henge, “Jonathan chapa khat aum nan, ama hi akengphang te ni chatmoa kibai ahi,” atipeh e.
Mfalme akauliza, “Je, hakuna yeyote ambaye amebaki wa nyumba ya Sauli ninayeweza kumwonyesha wema wa Mungu?” Siba akamjibu mfalme, “Bado yupo mwana wa Yonathani, yeye ni kiwete miguu yote.”
4 Chuphat in lengpan jong, “Ama chu hoiya umham?” tin ahin dong tan ahileh; Ziban lengpa chu aseipeh in, “Ama chu Lodebar khoa Ammiel chapa Makir In a um ahi,” ati.
Mfalme akauliza, “Yuko wapi?” Siba akajibu, “Yuko nyumbani kwa Makiri mwana wa Amieli huko Lo-Debari.”
5 Hichun David lengpan mi asolin, ama chu Makir In na konin agapuidoh sah tai.
Basi Mfalme Daudi akamtaka aletwe kutoka Lo-Debari, kutoka nyumbani kwa Makiri mwana wa Amieli.
6 Hiti hin Saul tupa Jonathan chapa Mephibosheth kitipa chu David koma ahungin alu kunin jana apen ahi. Chuin David chun ahoupin, “Mephibosheth atileh; aman jong, “keima nasohpa kahi,” tin adonbut’e.
Mefiboshethi mwana wa Yonathani, mwana wa Sauli, alipofika kwa Daudi, akainama kumpa mfalme heshima. Daudi akamwita, “Mefiboshethi!” Mefiboshethi akajibu, “Ndimi mtumishi wako.”
7 Hichun David’in akoma hitin aseiye, “Kicha hih in, keiman napa Jonathan jal a nanghi kakhoto ding, chujongle khatvei napu Saul neilegou anahikhasa jouse chu aboncha nangma kapeh kit ding nahi; chule nangman hiche leng ankong phunga hi keima toh an naneh khom ding ahiye,” ati.
Daudi akamwambia, “Usiogope, kwa maana hakika nitakutendea wema kwa ajili ya baba yako Yonathani. Nitakurudishia ardhi yote iliyokuwa mali ya Sauli baba yako, nawe daima utakula chakula mezani pangu.”
8 Hichun Mephibosheth jong chun jana ape kit’in aseikit’e, “Nasohpa kei hi ipi kahiya nangin hiche uicha thisa tobang chunga hi khutona neimusah khoh ding ham?” atitai.
Mefiboshethi akasujudu akasema, “Mimi mtumishi wako ni nini hata uangalie mbwa mfu kama mimi?”
9 David lengpan Saul sohpa Ziba chu akouvin akoma hitin aseipeh’e, “Ipi hijongle Saul thilkeo anei jouse leh ama insung mite nei jouse chu aboncha hiche napu chapa hi kapeh ahitai.
Ndipo mfalme akamwita Siba mtumishi wa Sauli na kumwambia, “Nimempa mwana wa bwana wako kila kitu kilichokuwa mali ya Sauli na jamaa yake.
10 Hijeh a chu napu chapa hin anneh akimu jouna dinga nangma le nachapate, chule nasohten ama dinga lou nabol peh dingu ahin, alousoh ga nahin poh pehji dingu ahi; ahin hiche Mephibosheth napu tupa vang hin keima ankong phunga an aneh jing jeng ding ahi,” tin thu apetai. Ziba kitipa hin chapa som le nga ananeiyin, soh jong som ni jen aneiyin ahi.
Wewe, wanao na watumishi wako mtamlimia mashamba Mefiboshethi na kumletea mavuno, ili kwamba mwana wa bwana wako apate mahitaji yake. Naye Mefiboshethi mwana wa bwana wako atakula chakula mezani pangu daima.” (Siba alikuwa na wana kumi na watano, na watumishi ishirini.)
11 Chuin Ziba in lengpa koma aseijin, “Kapu lengpan nasohpa keima neithupeh bang bang chun nasohpa hin gabol nange,” ati. Hiti chun hiche nikho apet chun Mephobisheth hin lengpa chate lah a khatpen bang in David ankong phunga chun an anejing jeng tan ahi.
Ndipo Siba akamwambia mfalme, “Mtumishi wako atafanya chochote bwana wangu mfalme atakachoagiza mtumishi wake kufanya.” Basi Mefiboshethi akala chakula mezani pa Daudi kama mmoja wa wana wa mfalme.
12 Mephibosheth jong hin chapa gollhang khat aneiyin, amin jong chu Mica ahi. Chunikho apet chun Mephibosheth soh natong din Ziba insung mite abonchan apang tauvin ahi.
Mefiboshethi alikuwa na mwanawe mdogo aliyeitwa Mika, nao watu wote wa nyumba ya Siba walikuwa watumishi wa Mefiboshethi.
13 Hiti hin Mephibosheth akengphang te ni kibai pachu Jerusalem a achangin, chule aniseh in leng ankong ah an anejing tan ahi.
Naye Mefiboshethi akaishi huko Yerusalemu, kwa sababu daima alikula mezani pa mfalme, naye alikuwa kiwete miguu yote.
