2 Samuel 9
1 And David says, “Is there yet any left of the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?”
Otu ụbọchị, Devid jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “O nwere onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼezinaụlọ Sọl? Achọrọ m igosi onye ahụ obi ebere nʼihi Jonatan.”
2 And the house of Saul has a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him to David; and the king says to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he says, “Your servant.”
Ọ nụrụ ihe banyere otu nwoke aha ya bụ Ziba, onye bụ otu nʼime ndị ohu Sọl. O ziri ozi ka a kpọọ ya. Mgbe ọ bịara nʼihu Devid, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Ọ bụ gị bụ Ziba?” Ọ zara sị, “E, onyenwe m, ọ bụ m ohu gị.”
3 And the king says, “Is there not yet a man of the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?” And Ziba says to the king, “Jonathan has yet a son—lame.”
Eze jụrụ ya sị, “Ọ dị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼezinaụlọ Sọl? Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị onye fọdụrụ, achọrọ m igosi ya ụdị obiọma Chineke na-egosi.” Ziba zara ya sị, “Otu nwa nwoke Jonatan, nke dara ngwụrọ nọ ndụ.”
4 And the king says to him, “Where [is] he?” And Ziba says to the king, “Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Behold-Debar.”
Eze jụrụ, “Ebee ka ọ nọ?” Ziba zaghachiri, “Ọ nọ na Lo Deba, nʼụlọ Makia, nwa Amiel.”
5 And King David sends, and takes him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Behold-Debar,
Ya mere eze Devid ziri ka e site nʼobodo Lo Deba, nʼụlọ Makia nwa Amiel kpọta ya.
6 and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, comes to David, and falls on his face, and pays respect, and David says, “Mephibosheth”; and he says, “Behold, your servant.”
Mgbe Mefiboshet nwa Jonatan, nwa Sọl, bịara nʼebe Devid nọ, o hulatara isi, kpọọrọ ya isiala, nʼọnọdụ nsọpụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, Devid kpọrọ ya aha sị, “Mefiboshet,” Mefiboshet zara sị ya, “A bụ m ohu gị.”
7 And David says to him, “Do not be afraid; for I certainly do with you kindness because of your father Jonathan, and have given back to you all the field of your father Saul, and you continually eat bread at my table.”
Ma Devid sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼezie, aga m egosi gị obiọma nʼihi nna gị Jonatan. Aga m enyeghachi gị ala niile nna nna gị Sọl nwere. Ma ị ga-eso soro m na-eri nri na tebul m oge niile.”
8 And he bows himself and says, “What [is] your servant, that you have turned to the dead dog—such as I?”
Mefiboshet dara nʼala nʼihu eze sị, “Eze, onye ka m bụ i ji egosi nkịta nwụrụ anwụ dịka m obi ebere?”
9 And the king calls to Ziba servant of Saul and says to him, “All that was of Saul and of all his house, I have given to the son of your lord,
Eze kpọrọ Ziba ohu Sọl ahụ sị ya, “Enyeghachila m nwa nwa nna gị ukwu ihe niile Sọl na ụlọ ya nwere.
10 and you have served the land for him, you and your sons, and your servants, and have brought in, and there has been bread for the son of your lord, and he has eaten it; and Mephibosheth, son of your lord, continually eats bread at my table”; and Ziba has fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị ozi gị ga-arụ ọrụ nʼubi ya ịrụpụta nri. Ma Mefiboshet, nwa nwa nna gị ukwu ga na-eri ihe na tebul m.” Ziba, nwere ụmụ ndị ikom iri na ise, na iri ndị ozi abụọ.
11 And Ziba says to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant does.” “As for Mephibosheth,” [says the king, ] “he is eating at my table as one of the sons of the king.”
Ọ sịrị eze, “Onyenwe m, ohu gị ga-eme ihe niile eze nyere m nʼiwu.” Site nʼoge ahụ, Mefiboshet riri nri na tebul Devid dịka ọ bụ otu nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom eze.
12 And Mephibosheth has a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and everyone dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.
Mefiboshet nwekwara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Mika. Ziba na ndị niile bi nʼụlọ ya niile ghọrọ ndị ohu Mefiboshet.
13 And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for he is continually eating at the table of the king, and he [is] lame [in] his two feet.
Ma Mefiboshet biri na Jerusalem nʼihi na ọ bụ na tebul eze ka ọ na-eri nri mgbe niile. Ọ bụ onye dara ngwụrọ nʼụkwụ ya abụọ.
