2 Samuel 9
1 David said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
Dhavhidhi akabvunza akati, “Ko, kuchine mumwe akasara here weimba yaSauro wandingaitira tsitsi nokuda kwaJonatani?”
2 There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your servant is he."
Zvino kwakanga kuno muranda weimba yaSauro ainzi Zibha. Vakamudana kuti auye kuna Dhavhidhi, mambo akati kwaari, “Ndiwe Zibha here?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndini muranda wenyu.”
3 The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet."
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Hakuna mumwe akasara weimba yaSauro wandingaratidza tsitsi dzaMwari here?” Zibha akapindura mambo akati, “Kuchine mwanakomana waJonatani; akaremara makumbo ose.”
4 And the king said, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Aripiko?” Zibha akapindura akati, “Ari kuimba yaMakiri mwanakomana waAmieri kuRo Dhebhari.”
5 Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
Saka Mambo Dhavhidhi akarayira kuti andotorwa kubva kuRo Dhebhari, pamba paMakiri mwanakomana waAmieri.
6 And Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, "Mippibaal?" And he answered, "Look, your servant."
Zvino Mefibhosheti mwanakomana waJonatani, mwanakomana waSauro akati asvika kuna Dhavhidhi, akawira pasi nechiso chake kuti aratidze rukudzo. Dhavhidhi akati, “Mefibhosheti!” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndini muranda wenyu.”
7 And David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually."
Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Usatya hako, nokuti zvirokwazvo ndichakuitira tsitsi nokuda kwababa vako Jonatani. Ndichadzosera kwauri nyika yose yakanga iri yasekuru vako Sauro, uye uchadya patafura yangu nguva dzose.”
8 He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"
Mefibhosheti akakotamira pasi akati, “Muranda wenyu chiiko, zvamunorangarira imbwa yakafa yakaita seni?”
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master's son.
Ipapo mambo akadana Zibha, muranda waSauro, akati kwaari, “Ndapa muzukuru wavatenzi vako zvose zvakanga zviri zvaSauro nemhuri yake.
10 You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Iwe navana vako navaranda vako ndimi muchamurimira minda mugokohwa zvirimwa, kuti muzukuru wavatenzi vako awane zvokudya. Mefibhosheti, muzukuru wavatenzi vako, achadya patafura yangu nguva dzose.” Zvino Zibha aiva navanakomana gumi navashanu navaranda makumi maviri.
11 Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.
Ipapo Zibha akati kuna mambo, “Muranda wenyu achaita zvose zvamunomurayira kuti aite imi, ishe wangu namambo. Naizvozvo Mefibhosheti akadya patafura yaDhavhidhi somumwe wavanakomana vamambo.”
12 Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.
Mefibhosheti akanga ane mwanakomana mudiki ainzi Mika, uye vose veimba yaZibha vakanga vari varanda vaMefibhosheti.
13 So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
Saka Mefibhosheti akagara muJerusarema nokuti aigara achidya patafura yamambo, uye akanga akaremara tsoka dzake dzose.
