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?
Daawitis, “Akka ani Yoonaataaniif jedhee arjummaa isaaf godhu namni maatii Saaʼol keessaa hafe amma jiraa?” jedhee gaafate.
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!
Yeroo sanatti namicha Ziibaa jedhamu tajaajilaa mana Saaʼol tokkotu ture. Innis akka fuula Daawit duratti dhiʼaatuuf waamame; mootichis, “Ati Ziibaadhaa?” jedheen. Innis, “Eeyyee, ana garbicha kee ti” jedhe.
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.
Mootichis, “Akka ani arjummaa Waaqaa isaaf godhuuf namni maatii Saaʼol keessaa hafe tokko iyyuu hin jiruu?” jedhee gaafate. Ziibaa, “Ilmi Yoonaataan tokko jira; miilli isaa lachuus naafa” jedhee mootichaaf deebise.
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.
Mootichis, “Inni eessa jira?” jedhee gaafate. Ziibaan deebisee, “Inni iddoo Lodebaar jedhamu mana Maakiir ilma Amiiʼeel jira” jedhe.
5 And king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Kanaafuu Daawit mootichi nama ergee Lodebaar mana Maakiir ilma Amiiʼeeliitii isa fichisiise.
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!
Mefiibooshet ilmi Yoonaataan, ilmi Saaʼol yeroo Daawit bira dhufetti ulfina isaaf kennuuf gad jedhe sagadeef. Daawit immoo, “Mefiiboostee!” jedheen. Innis, “Garbichi kee kunoo ti” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Daawitis, “Ani abbaa kee Yoonaataaniif jedhee arjummaa siifin godhaatii hin sodaatin. Ani lafa akaakayyuu keetii, lafa Saaʼol hunda siifin deebisa; atis yeroo hunda maaddii koo irraa nyaatta” jedheen.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Mefiibooshetis harka fuudhee, “Ana garbicha kee nama akka saree duʼeetti ilaalamuuf waan kana gochuun kee maaliif?” jedheen.
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.
Mootichis Ziibaa garbicha Saaʼol ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ani ilma ilma gooftaa keetiitiif, waan kan Saaʼolii fi kan maatii isaa taʼe hunda kenneera.
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.
Ati, Ilmaan keetii fi tajaajiltoonni kee akka ilmi ilma gooftaa keetii waan nyaatu argatuuf lafa isaaf qotuu qabdu. Mefiibooshet ilmi ilma gooftaa keetiis yeroo hunda maaddii koo irraa nyaata.” Ziibaan ilmaan kudha shanii fi tajaajiltoota digdama qaba ture.
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.
Ziibaanis mootichaan, “Ani garbichi kee waan gooftaan koo mootichi akka ani hojjedhuuf na ajaju hunda nan godha” jedhe. Kanaafuu Mefiibooshet akkuma ilmaan mootii keessaa nama tokkootti maaddii Daawit irraa nyaata ture.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
Mefiibooshet ilma dargaggeessa Miikaa jedhamu tokko qaba ture; warri mana Ziibaa jiraatan hundi hojjettoota Mefiiboostee turan.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table. And he was lame on both his feet.
Mefiibooshetis sababii yeroo hunda maaddii mootii irraa nyaachaa tureef Yerusaalem keessa jiraata ture; miilli isaa lachuu naafa ture.
