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?"
Daawitis, “Akka ani Yoonaataaniif jedhee arjummaa isaaf godhu namni maatii Saaʼol keessaa hafe amma jiraa?” jedhee gaafate.
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."
Yeroo sanatti namicha Ziibaa jedhamu tajaajilaa mana Saaʼol tokkotu ture. Innis akka fuula Daawit duratti dhiʼaatuuf waamame; mootichis, “Ati Ziibaadhaa?” jedheen. Innis, “Eeyyee, ana garbicha kee ti” jedhe.
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."
Mootichis, “Akka ani arjummaa Waaqaa isaaf godhuuf namni maatii Saaʼol keessaa hafe tokko iyyuu hin jiruu?” jedhee gaafate. Ziibaa, “Ilmi Yoonaataan tokko jira; miilli isaa lachuus naafa” jedhee mootichaaf deebise.
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."
Mootichis, “Inni eessa jira?” jedhee gaafate. Ziibaan deebisee, “Inni iddoo Lodebaar jedhamu mana Maakiir ilma Amiiʼeel jira” jedhe.
5 Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
Kanaafuu Daawit mootichi nama ergee Lodebaar mana Maakiir ilma Amiiʼeeliitii isa fichisiise.
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."
Mefiibooshet ilmi Yoonaataan, ilmi Saaʼol yeroo Daawit bira dhufetti ulfina isaaf kennuuf gad jedhe sagadeef. Daawit immoo, “Mefiiboostee!” jedheen. Innis, “Garbichi kee kunoo ti” jedhee deebiseef.
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."
Daawitis, “Ani abbaa kee Yoonaataaniif jedhee arjummaa siifin godhaatii hin sodaatin. Ani lafa akaakayyuu keetii, lafa Saaʼol hunda siifin deebisa; atis yeroo hunda maaddii koo irraa nyaatta” jedheen.
8 He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"
Mefiibooshetis harka fuudhee, “Ana garbicha kee nama akka saree duʼeetti ilaalamuuf waan kana gochuun kee maaliif?” jedheen.
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.
Mootichis Ziibaa garbicha Saaʼol ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ani ilma ilma gooftaa keetiitiif, waan kan Saaʼolii fi kan maatii isaa taʼe hunda kenneera.
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.
Ati, Ilmaan keetii fi tajaajiltoonni kee akka ilmi ilma gooftaa keetii waan nyaatu argatuuf lafa isaaf qotuu qabdu. Mefiibooshet ilmi ilma gooftaa keetiis yeroo hunda maaddii koo irraa nyaata.” Ziibaan ilmaan kudha shanii fi tajaajiltoota digdama qaba ture.
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.
Ziibaanis mootichaan, “Ani garbichi kee waan gooftaan koo mootichi akka ani hojjedhuuf na ajaju hunda nan godha” jedhe. Kanaafuu Mefiibooshet akkuma ilmaan mootii keessaa nama tokkootti maaddii Daawit irraa nyaata ture.
12 Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.
Mefiibooshet ilma dargaggeessa Miikaa jedhamu tokko qaba ture; warri mana Ziibaa jiraatan hundi hojjettoota Mefiiboostee turan.
13 So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
Mefiibooshetis sababii yeroo hunda maaddii mootii irraa nyaachaa tureef Yerusaalem keessa jiraata ture; miilli isaa lachuu naafa ture.
