UDavida wabuza wathi, “Kambe angabe ekhona yini osaseleyo endlini kaSawuli engingabonakalisa umusa wami kuye ngenxa kaJonathani na?”
2 Koro ne nitie jatich mane tiyo e od Saulo ma nyinge Ziba. Ne giluonge mondo obi e nyim Daudi mi ruoth nopenje niya, “In e Ziba?” Nodwoko niya, “Ee, en an jatichni.”
Ngalesosikhathi kwakulenceku yendlu kaSawuli eyayithiwa nguZibha. Bambiza ukuba abonane loDavida, inkosi yasisithi kuye, “Wena unguye uZibha na?” Waphendula wathi, “Yimi inceku yakho.”
3 Eka ruoth nopenje niya, “Onge ngʼat ma dipo kodongʼ e dhood Saulo ma anyalo timo ne tim ngʼwono mar Nyasaye?” Ziba nodwoko ruoth kowacho niya, “Nitie wuod Jonathan; to tiendene duto ongʼol.”
Inkosi yabuza yathi, “Kakho yini osaseleyo endlini kaSawuli engingabonakalisa kuye umusa kaNkulunkulu na?” UZibha wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Isesekhona indodana kaJonathani; igogekile inyawo zombili.”
4 Ruoth nopenjo niya, “En kanye?” Ziba nodwoke niya, “En e od Makir wuod Amiel modak Lo Debar.”
Inkosi yabuza yathi, “Ungaphi?” UZibha waphendula wathi, “Usendlini kaMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli eLo-Debhari.”
5 Omiyo ruoth nochiko mondo okele kigole Lo Debar e od Makir wuod Amiel.
Ngakho inkosi uDavida wathumela ukuba ayethathwa eLo-Debhari endlini kaMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli.
6 Kane Mefibosheth wuod Jonathan, ma wuod Saulo, obiro ir Daudi, nokulore piny komiye duongʼ. Daudi noluonge niya, “Mefibosheth!” Nodwoke niya, Ee, en an jatichni.
Kwathi uMefibhoshethi indodana kaJonathani, indodana kaSawuli, esefikile kuDavida, wakhothamela phansi emhlonipha. UDavida wasesithi, “Mefibhoshethi!” Waphendula wathi, “Yimi inceku yakho.”
7 Daudi nowachone niya, “Kik iluor, nimar gadiera abiro timoni tim ngʼwono nikech wuonu Jonathan. Abiro dwokoni puothe duto mane mag kwaru Saulo, kendo inichiem e mesana kinde duto.”
UDavida wathi kuye, “Ungesabi, ngoba impela ngizakutshengisa umusa ngenxa kayihlo uJonathani. Ngizawubuyisela kuwe wonke umhlaba owawungokayihlomkhulu uSawuli, njalo wena uzakudla etafuleni lami kokuphela.”
8 Mefibosheth nokulore piny mowacho niya, “An mana misumbani, ngʼat machalo gi guok motho, to angʼo momiyo itimona maber kama?”
UMefibhoshethi wakhothama wathi, “Inceku yakho iyini na, ukuba unake inja efileyo njengami nje?”
9 Eka ruoth noluongo Ziba, ma jatich Saulo mowachone niya, “Amiyo nyakwar ruodhi gik moko duto mane mag Saulo gi joode.
UDavida wabiza uZibha, inceku kaSawuli, wathi kuye, “Indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho sengiyinike konke okwakungokuka Sawuli labendlu yakhe.
10 In gi yawuoti kod jotiji ubiro purone kendo ukel cham mondo nyakwar ruodhi obed gi chiemo to Mefibosheth, nyakwar ruodhi, to biro chiemo e mesana pile.” Ziba ne nigi yawuowi apar gabich gi jotich piero ariyo.
Wena lamadodana akho lezinceku zakho lizamlimela amasimu lilethe amabele ukuze indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho ibe lokudla. Njalo uMefibhoshethi indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho, izakudla etafuleni lami kokuphela.” (UZibha lo wayelamadodana alitshumi lanhlanu kanye lezinceku ezingamatshumi amabili.)
11 Eka Ziba nowachone ruoth niya, “Jatiji biro timo gimoro amora ma ruodha ma ruoth ochiko jatichne mondo otim.” Omiyo Mefibosheth nochiemo e mesa Daudi mana kaka achiel kuom yawuot ruoth.
UZibha wasesithi enkosini, “Inceku yakho izakwenza loba kuyini umhlekazi wami inkosi elaya inceku yayo ukuba ikwenze.” Ngakho uMefibhoshethi wadla etafuleni likaDavida njengomunye wamadodana enkosi.
12 Mefibosheth ne nigi wuode matin miluongo ni Mika, to jood Ziba duto ne gin jotij Mefibosheth.
UMefibhoshethi wayelendodana esengumfanyana eyayithiwa nguMikha, njalo bonke abendlu kaZibha babezinceku zikaMefibhoshethi.
13 Kendo Mefibosheth nodak Jerusalem nikech ne ochiemo pile e mesa ruoth, to tiendene ariyo ne ongʼol.
Njalo uMefibhoshethi wayehlala eJerusalema, edlela etafuleni lenkosi kokuphela, njalo egogekile inyawo zombili.
