2 Samuel 9

1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness 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 of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba; and they called him to David. And the king said to him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, 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 not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame on [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 to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.

Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Azali wapi? Tsiba azongisaki: — Azali na ndako ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli, na mboka Lo-Debari.

5 And king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.

Boye, mokonzi Davidi abengisaki ye wuta na Lo-Debari, na ndako ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli.

6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. 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 certainly shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul 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 he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

Mefibosheti agumbamaki mpe alobaki: — Mosali na yo azali nani mpo ete otala mbwa ya kokufa lokola ngai?

9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, I have given to thy master's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.

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 [the fruits], that thy master's son may have food to eat. And Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread at my table continually. Now Ziba 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 Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Mephibosheth [said David] shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.

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 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

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 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table. And he was lame on both his feet.

Mefibosheti avandaki na Yelusalemi mpo ete azalaki kolia tango nyonso na mesa ya mokonzi.
