2 Samuel 9
1 David said, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him for Jonathan's sake?”
Dafidi sì béèrè pé, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹni tí ń ṣe ìdílé Saulu kù síbẹ̀ bí? Kí èmi lè ṣe oore fún un nítorí Jonatani.
2 There was a man called Ziba who used to be a servant of Saul's family. They called for him to come to David, and the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” “Yes, I am your servant,” he replied.
Ìránṣẹ́ kan sì ti wà ní ìdílé Saulu, orúkọ rẹ̀ sí ń jẹ́ Ṣiba, wọ́n sì pè é wá sọ́dọ̀ Dafidi, ọba sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ìwọ ni Ṣiba bí?” Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni.”
3 The king asked him, “Is there anyone still left of Saul's family so I can be kind to him as I promised before God?” “There's still one of Jonathan's sons, who is lame in both feet,” Ziba replied.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Kò ha sí ọ̀kan nínú ìdílé Saulu síbẹ̀, kí èmi ṣe oore Ọlọ́run fún un?” Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jonatani ní ọmọ kan síbẹ̀ tó ya arọ.”
4 “Where is he?” asked the king. “He's in the town of Lo-debar, living in the home of Machir, son of Ammiel,” Ziba replied.
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Níbo ni ó gbé wà?” Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Wò ó, òun wà ní ilé Makiri, ọmọ Ammieli, ní Lo-Debari.”
5 So King David had him brought from Machir's home.
Dafidi ọba sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì mú un láti ilé Makiri ọmọ Ammieli láti Lo-Debari wá.
6 When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David, he bowed facedown to the ground in respect. Then David said, “Welcome Mephibosheth.” “I am your servant,” he replied.
Mefiboṣeti ọmọ Jonatani ọmọ Saulu sì tọ Dafidi wá, ó sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, ó sì bú ọlá fún un. Dafidi sì wí pé, “Mefiboṣeti!” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wò ó, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ!”
7 “Do not be afraid,” said David, “for I will truly be kind to you for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land owned by your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, nítorí pé nítòótọ́ èmi ó ṣe oore fún ọ nítorí Jonatani baba rẹ, èmi ó sì tún fi gbogbo ilé Saulu baba rẹ fún ọ, ìwọ ó sì máa bá mi jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ mi.”
8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “Who am I, your servant, that you should pay any attention to a dead dog like me?”
Mefiboṣeti sì tẹríba, ó sì wí pé, “Kí ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jásí, tí ìwọ ó fi máa wo òkú ajá bí èmi.”
9 Then the king called for Saul's servant Ziba and told him, “I have given to your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
Ọba sì pe Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ Saulu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gbogbo nǹkan tí í ṣe ti Saulu, àti gbogbo èyí tí í ṣe ti ìdílé rẹ̀ ni èmi fi fún ọmọ olúwa rẹ.
10 You and your sons and workers are to farm the ground for him and bring in the produce, so that your master's grandson will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master's grandson, will always eat at my table.” Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty workers.
Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni yóò sì máa ro ilẹ̀ náà fún un, ìwọ ni yóò sì máa mú ìkórè wá, ọmọ olúwa rẹ yóò sì máa rí oúnjẹ jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n Mefiboṣeti ọmọ olúwa rẹ yóò sì máa bá mi jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ mi.” (Ṣiba sì ní ọmọ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti ogún ìránṣẹ́kùnrin.)
11 Ziba replied to the king, “My lord the king, your servant will do everything that you have commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.
Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí olúwa mi ọba ti pàṣẹ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ó ṣe.” Ọba sì wí pé, “Ní ti Mefiboṣeti, yóò máa jẹun ní ibi oúnjẹ mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ ọba.”
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All the people who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants.
Mefiboṣeti sì ní ọmọ kékeré kan, orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Mika. Gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní ilé Ṣiba ni ó sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Mefiboṣeti.
13 But Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table. He was lame in both feet.
Mefiboṣeti sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, òun a sì máa jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ ọba; òun sì yarọ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
