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?
Dawudi n’abuuza nti, “Wakyaliwo omuntu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo eyasigalawo gwe nnyinza okulaga ekisa ku lwa Yonasaani?”
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is 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 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 has yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
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 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 Lodebar.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ali ludda wa?” Ziba n’amuddamu nti, “Ali mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.”
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Awo Dawudi n’amutumya, ne bamuleeta okuva mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!
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 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat 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 himself, and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon 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 to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto your master's son all that pertained 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 You therefore, and your sons, and your servants, shall till the land for him, and you shall bring in the fruits, that your master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
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 said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so shall your servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
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 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
Mefibosesi yalina mutabani we omuto, eyayitibwanga Mikka, ne bonna abaali ab’ennyumba ya Ziba baali baddu ba Mefibosesi.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
Mefibosesi n’abeera mu Yerusaalemi kubanga yaliiranga ku mmeeza ya kabaka. Yali yalemala ebigere.
