2 Samuel 9
1 And Dauid sayde, Is there yet any man left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him mercie for Ionathans sake?
David bia be, “Ame aɖe gakpɔtɔ ɖe Saul ƒe aƒe me, ame si nu mave le Yonatan ta?”
2 And there was of the housholde of Saul a seruant whose name was Ziba, and when they had called him vnto Dauid, the King sayd vnto him, Art thou Ziba? And he sayd, I thy seruant am he.
Azɔ la, dɔla aɖe nɔ Saul ƒe aƒe me si ŋkɔe nye Ziba. Woyɔe va David ŋkume eye fia la biae be, “Wòe nye Ziba?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Wò dɔlae.”
3 Then the King sayd, Remayneth there yet none of the house of Saul, on whome I may shewe the mercie of God? Ziba then answered the King, Ionathan hath yet a sonne lame of his feete.
Fia la biae be “Ame aɖeke megale Saul ƒe aƒe me si maɖe Mawu ƒe amenuveve afia oa?” Ziba ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu aɖe gali ko, ame si ƒe atawo kple eve tu.”
4 Then the King said vnto him, Where is he? And Ziba said vnto the King, Behold, he is in the house of Machir ye sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
Fia la biae be, “Afi ka wòle?” Ziba ɖo eŋu be, “Ele Amiel ƒe vi Makir ƒe aƒe me le Lo Debar.”
5 Then King Dauid sent, and tooke him out of the house of Machir the sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
Ale Fia David na wokplɔe tso Lo Debar vɛ tso Makir, Amiel ƒe viŋutsu, Makar ƒe aƒe me.
6 Nowe when Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Saul was come vnto Dauid, he fel on his face, and did reuerence. And Dauid sayde, Mephibosheth? And he answered, Beholde thy seruant.
Esi Mefiboset, ame si nye Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu kple Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi va ɖo David gbɔ la, ede ta agu hede bubu eŋu. David yɔe be, “Mefiboset!” Mefiboset ɖo eŋu be, “Nye, wò dɔlae nye esi.”
7 Then Dauid sayd vnto him, Feare not: for I wil surely shewe thee kindnes for Ionathan thy fathers sake, and will restore thee all the fieldes of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eate bread at my table continually.
David gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena mave nuwò vavã le fofowò, Yonatan ta. Magbugbɔ tɔgbuiwò, Saul, ƒe anyigbawo katã ana wò eye àɖu nu gbe sia gbe le nye kplɔ̃ ŋuti.”
8 And he bowed himselfe and sayd, What is thy seruant, that thou shouldest looke vpon such a dead dog as I am?
Mefiboset tsyɔ mo anyi gblɔ be, “Nu kae wò dɔla nye be nètsɔ ɖe le eme na nye, ame si le abe avu kuku ene?”
9 Then the king called Ziba Sauls seruant, and said vnto him, I haue giue vnto thy masters sonne all that perteined to Saul and to all his house.
David yɔ Saul ƒe subɔla Ziba eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Metsɔ nu sia nu si nye Saul kple eƒe ƒomea tɔ la na wò aƒetɔ Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
10 Thou therefore and thy sonnes and thy seruantes shall till the lande for him, and bring in that thy masters sonne may haue foode to eate. And Mephibosheth thy masters sonne shall eate bread alway at my table (nowe Ziba had fifteene sonnes, and twentie seruants)
Wò kple viwòwo kple wò subɔlawo miade agble ɖe anyigba la dzi nɛ eye miatsɔ nukuawo vɛ ale be wò aƒetɔ ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi nakpɔ nuɖuɖu. Ke Mefiboset, wò aƒetɔ ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi, aɖu nu le nye kplɔ̃ ŋu.” Azɔ la, viŋutsu wuiatɔ̃ kple subɔla blaeve nɔ Ziba si.
11 Then sayd Ziba vnto the King, According to all that my lord the King hath commaded his seruant, so shall thy seruat do, that Mephibosheth may eate at my table, as one of the Kings sonnes.
Ziba gblɔ na fia la be, “Wò subɔla awɔ nu sia nu si nye aƒetɔ, fia la aɖe gbe na eƒe subɔla be wòawɔ.” Ale Mefiboset ɖua nu le Fia David ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu abe fia la ƒe viwo dometɔ ɖeka ene.
12 Mephibosheth also had a yong sonne named Micha, and all that dwelled in the house of Ziba, were seruants vnto Mephibosheth.
Viŋutsuvi sue aɖe nɔ Mefiboset si; eŋkɔe nye Mika. Ziba ƒe aƒemetɔwo katã zu Mefiboset ƒe subɔlawo.
13 And Mephibosheth dwelt in Ierusalem: for he did eate continually at the Kings table, and was lame on both his feete.
Ke Mefiboset ya nɔ Yerusalem, elabena eɖua nu le fia la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye eƒe atawo kple eve tu.
