< 2 Samuel 9 >

1 And David said: 'Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?'
Daudi nopenjo niya, “Bende nitie ngʼato angʼata modongʼ e dhood Saulo manyalo timo ne tim ngʼwono nikech Jonathan?”
2 Now there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him: 'Art thou Ziba?' And he said: 'Thy servant is he.'
Koro ne nitie jatich mane tiyo e od Saulo ma nyinge Ziba. Ne giluonge mondo obi e nyim Daudi mi ruoth nopenje niya, “In e Ziba?” Nodwoko niya, “Ee, en an jatichni.”
3 And the king said: 'Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame on his feet.'
Eka ruoth nopenje niya, “Onge ngʼat ma dipo kodongʼ e dhood Saulo ma anyalo timo ne tim ngʼwono mar Nyasaye?” Ziba nodwoko ruoth kowacho niya, “Nitie wuod Jonathan; to tiendene duto ongʼol.”
4 And the king said unto him: 'Where is he?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.'
Ruoth nopenjo niya, “En kanye?” Ziba nodwoke niya, “En e od Makir wuod Amiel modak Lo Debar.”
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
Omiyo ruoth nochiko mondo okele kigole Lo Debar e od Makir wuod Amiel.
6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and prostrated himself. And David said: 'Mephibosheth!' And he answered: 'Behold thy servant!'
Kane Mefibosheth wuod Jonathan, ma wuod Saulo, obiro ir Daudi, nokulore piny komiye duongʼ. Daudi noluonge niya, “Mefibosheth!” Nodwoke niya, Ee, en an jatichni.
7 And David said unto him: 'Fear not; for I will surely show 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.'
Daudi nowachone niya, “Kik iluor, nimar gadiera abiro timoni tim ngʼwono nikech wuonu Jonathan. Abiro dwokoni puothe duto mane mag kwaru Saulo, kendo inichiem e mesana kinde duto.”
8 And he bowed down, and said: 'What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?'
Mefibosheth nokulore piny mowacho niya, “An mana misumbani, ngʼat machalo gi guok motho, to angʼo momiyo itimona maber kama?”
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him: 'All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master's son.
Eka ruoth noluongo Ziba, ma jatich Saulo mowachone niya, “Amiyo nyakwar ruodhi gik moko duto mane mag Saulo gi joode.
10 And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread continually at my table.' Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
In gi yawuoti kod jotiji ubiro purone kendo ukel cham mondo nyakwar ruodhi obed gi chiemo to Mefibosheth, nyakwar ruodhi, to biro chiemo e mesana pile.” Ziba ne nigi yawuowi apar gabich gi jotich piero ariyo.
11 Then said Ziba unto the king: 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do; but Mephibosheth eateth at my table as one of the king's sons.'
Eka Ziba nowachone ruoth niya, “Jatiji biro timo gimoro amora ma ruodha ma ruoth ochiko jatichne mondo otim.” Omiyo Mefibosheth nochiemo e mesa Daudi mana kaka achiel kuom yawuot ruoth.
12 Now Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
Mefibosheth ne nigi wuode matin miluongo ni Mika, to jood Ziba duto ne gin jotij Mefibosheth.
13 But Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king's table; and he was lame on both his feet.
Kendo Mefibosheth nodak Jerusalem nikech ne ochiemo pile e mesa ruoth, to tiendene ariyo ne ongʼol.
