2 Samuel 9
1 Then David asked, “Is there anyone left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for the sake of Jonathan?”
Wata rana Dawuda ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Akwai wani har yanzu da ya rage a gidan Shawulu wanda zan nuna masa alheri saboda Yonatan?”
2 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.
To, akwai wani bawa na gidan Shawulu mai suna Ziba. Sai aka kira shi yă bayyana a gaban Dawuda, sarki ya ce masa, “Kai ne Ziba?” Sai ya ce, “I, ni ne, ranka yă daɗe.”
3 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.”
Sa’an nan sarki ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani har yanzu da ya rage a gidan Shawulu don in nuna masa alherin Allah?” Ziba ya ce wa sarki, “Har yanzu akwai ɗan Yonatan da ya rage, sai dai shi gurgu ne a dukan ƙafafu.”
4 “Where is he?” replied the king. And Ziba said, “Indeed, he is in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.”
Sarki ya ce, “Ina yake?” Ziba ya ce, “Yana a gidan Makir ɗan Ammiyel a Lo Debar.”
5 So King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.
Saboda haka Sarki Dawuda ya umarta aka kawo shi daga gidan Makir ɗan Ammiyel, daga Lo Debar.
6 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.
Sa’ad da Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu, ya zo wurin Dawuda, sai ya rusuna har ƙasa ya yi gaisuwar bangirma. Dawuda ya ce, “Mefiboshet!” Shi kuwa ya amsa ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, ga ni, bawanka.”
7 “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.”
Dawuda ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro, gama tabbatacce zan nuna maka alheri saboda mahaifinka Yonatan. Zan mayar maka da dukan ƙasar da take ta kakanka Shawulu, kullum kuma za ka ci a teburina.”
8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog like me?”
Mefiboshet ya rusuna ya ce, “Ni ne wa har da za ka kula da ni? Ai! Ni bawanka ne da bai ma fi mataccen kare daraja ba.”
9 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.
Sai sarki ya kira Ziba bawan Shawulu, ya ce masa, “Na ba wa jikan maigidanka kome da yake na Shawulu da iyalinsa
10 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.
Kai da’ya’yanka maza da bayinka za ku riƙa yin masa noma, ku kuma kawo hatsin, don jikan maigidanka yă sami abinci. Mefiboshet kuma, jikan maigidanka, zai riƙa ci a teburina.” (Ziba kuwa yana da’ya’ya maza goma sha biyar da kuma bayi ashirin.)
11 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.
Sai Ziba ya ce wa sarki, “Bawanka zai aikata dukan abin da ranka yă daɗe sarki, ya umarce shi.” Saboda haka Mefiboshet ya riƙa ci a teburin Dawuda kamar sauran’ya’yan sarki.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
Mefiboshet yana da wani ƙaramin ɗa sunansa Mika, dukan iyalin gidan Ziba kuwa bayin Mefiboshet ne.
13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was lame in both feet.
Mefiboshet ya zauna a Urushalima, gama kullum yana ci a teburin sarki, shi kuwa gurgu ne a dukan ƙafafu.
