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?
Dawudi n’abuuza nti, “Wakyaliwo omuntu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo eyasigalawo gwe nnyinza okulaga ekisa ku lwa Yonasaani?”
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.
Awo waaliwo omuddu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo erinnya lye Ziba. Ne bamutumya, n’ajja mu maaso ga Dawudi. Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Ziba?” N’addamu nti, “Nze wuuyo omuddu wo.”
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.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Tewaliwo muntu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo eyasigalawo gwe nnyinza okukolera ebirungi olw’ekisa kya Katonda?” Ziba n’addamu kabaka nti, “Wakyaliwo mutabani wa Yonasaani, eyalemala ebigere.”
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.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ali ludda wa?” Ziba n’amuddamu nti, “Ali mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.”
5 Then King Dauid sent, and tooke him out of the house of Machir the sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
Awo Dawudi n’amutumya, ne bamuleeta okuva mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.
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.
Mefibosesi mutabani wa Yonasaani, muzzukulu wa Sawulo n’ajja eri Dawudi n’avuunama mu maaso ge. Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Mefibosesi?” N’addamu nti, “Nze wuuyo omuddu wo.”
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.
Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Totya kubanga siireme kukukolera bya kisa ku lwa Yonasaani kitaawo. Nzija kukuddiza ettaka lyonna eryali erya jjajjaawo Sawulo, era onooliranga ku mmeeza yange.”
8 And he bowed himselfe and sayd, What is thy seruant, that thou shouldest looke vpon such a dead dog as I am?
Mefibosesi ne yeeyanza n’ayogera nti, “Omuddu wo kye ki, okufaayo ku mbwa enfu nga nze?”
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.
Awo kabaka n’ayita Ziba, omuddu wa Sawulo, n’amugamba nti, “Mpadde muzzukulu wa mukama wo ebintu byonna ebyali ebya Sawulo n’ennyumba ye.
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)
Ggwe ne batabani bo n’abaddu bo munaamulimiranga ettaka ne muleeta ebibala ebirivaamu, muzzukulu wa mukama wo abenga n’ekyokulya. Mefibosesi muzzukulu wa mukama wo, ye anaaliiranga ku mmeeza yange nange, ennaku zange zonna.” Ziba yalina abaana aboobulenzi kkumi na bataano n’abaddu amakumi abiri.
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.
Awo Ziba n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nga bw’olagidde mukama wange kabaka, bwe kijja okukolebwa omuddu wo.” Mefibosesi n’aliiranga ku mmeeza ya Dawudi ng’omu ku balangira.
12 Mephibosheth also had a yong sonne named Micha, and all that dwelled in the house of Ziba, were seruants vnto Mephibosheth.
Mefibosesi yalina mutabani we omuto, eyayitibwanga Mikka, ne bonna abaali ab’ennyumba ya Ziba baali baddu ba Mefibosesi.
13 And Mephibosheth dwelt in Ierusalem: for he did eate continually at the Kings table, and was lame on both his feete.
Mefibosesi n’abeera mu Yerusaalemi kubanga yaliiranga ku mmeeza ya kabaka. Yali yalemala ebigere.
