Kings II 9
1 And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's sake?
Davidi atunaki: « Ezali lisusu na moto moko ya libota ya Saulo oyo azali nanu na bomoi? Nazali na posa ya kotalisa ye bolamu mpo na Jonatan. »
2 And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Art thou Siba? and he said, I [am] thy servant.
Nzokande, ezalaki na mosali moko ya ndako ya Saulo; kombo na ye « Tsiba. » Babengisaki ye mpo ete aya komimonisa liboso ya Davidi. Mpe mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Ezali yo Tsiba? Azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali ngai, mosali na yo.
3 And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame [of] his feet.
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Boni, ezali na moto moko te ya libota ya Saulo, oyo azali nanu na bomoi, oyo epai ya nani nakoki kotalisa bolamu ya Nzambe? Tsiba azongiselaki mokonzi: — Ezali na mwana mobali moko ya Jonatan, oyo azali nanu na bomoi. Azali na mbeba na makolo nyonso mibale.
4 And the king said, Where [is] he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, [he is] in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar.
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Azali wapi? Tsiba azongisaki: — Azali na ndako ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli, na mboka Lo-Debari.
5 And king David went, and took him out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.
Boye, mokonzi Davidi abengisaki ye wuta na Lo-Debari, na ndako ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli.
6 And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold thy servant.
Tango Mefibosheti, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, ayaki epai ya Davidi, agumbamaki mpo na kopesa ye lokumu. Davidi alobaki: — Mefibosheti! Ye azongisaki: — Ngai oyo, mosali na yo.
7 And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with thee for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and I will restore to thee all the land of Saul the father of thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
Davidi alobaki na ye: — Kobanga te! Pamba te nakotalisa yo solo bolamu mpo na tata na yo, Jonatan. Nakozongisela yo mabele nyonso ya koko na yo, Saulo, mpe okobanda kolia tango nyonso na mesa na ngai.
8 And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I thy servant, that thou hast looked upon a dead dog like me?
Mefibosheti agumbamaki mpe alobaki: — Mosali na yo azali nani mpo ete otala mbwa ya kokufa lokola ngai?
9 And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of thy lord.
Mokonzi abengisaki Tsiba, mosali ya Saulo, mpe alobaki na ye: — Napesi na mwana ya nkolo na yo biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki ya Saulo mpe ya libota na ye.
10 And thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him; and thou shalt bring in bread to the son of thy lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of thy lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Yo, bana na yo ya mibali mpe basali na yo, bokosala bilanga mpo na ye mpe bokomema bambuma oyo bokobuka mpo ete mwana ya nkolo na yo akoka kozwa biloko ya kolia. Mpe Mefibosheti, mwana ya nkolo na yo, akobanda kolia tango nyonso na mesa na ngai. Nzokande Tsiba azalaki na bana mibali zomi na mitano mpe basali tuku mibale.
11 And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
Tsiba alobaki na mokonzi: — Mosali na yo akosala makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akotinda ye. Boye Mefibosheti aliaki na mesa ya Davidi lokola moko kati na bana mibali ya mokonzi.
12 And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name [was] Micha: and all the household of Siba [were] servants to Memphibosthe.
Mefibosheti azalaki na mwana mobali moko ya elenge; kombo na ye ezalaki « Mika. » Mpe bato nyonso ya libota ya Tsiba bazalaki basali ya Mefibosheti.
13 And Memphibosthe dwelt in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet.
Mefibosheti avandaki na Yelusalemi mpo ete azalaki kolia tango nyonso na mesa ya mokonzi.
