2 Samuel 9
1 And David said, Is there yet one left unto the house of Saul, —that I may show him lovingkindness, for the sake of, Jonathan?
Daawitis, “Akka ani Yoonaataaniif jedhee arjummaa isaaf godhu namni maatii Saaʼol keessaa hafe amma jiraa?” jedhee gaafate.
2 Now, unto the house of Saul, belonged a servant, whose name, was Ziba, and, when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him—Art, thou, Ziba? And he said—Thy servant!
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 Then said the king—Is there never a man remaining unto the house of Saul, that I may show him the lovingkindness of God? And Ziba said unto the king, There remaineth a son unto Jonathan, lame in 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 to him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Lo! he, is in the house of Machir 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 sent King David, —and fetched him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
Kanaafuu Daawit mootichi nama ergee Lodebaar mana Maakiir ilma Amiiʼeeliitii isa fichisiise.
6 Now, when Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came in unto David, he fell on his face and did homage. And David said, Mephibosheth? And he said, Lo! thy 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 fear, for I will, indeed shew, thee lovingkindness, for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and will restore unto thee all the land of Saul thy father, —but, thou thyself, 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 And he did homage, and said—What is thy servant, —that thou hast turned towards such a dead dog as I?
Mefiibooshetis harka fuudhee, “Ana garbicha kee nama akka saree duʼeetti ilaalamuuf waan kana gochuun kee maaliif?” jedheen.
9 Then the king called for Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, —All that pertained unto Saul and unto all his house, have I given unto the son of thy lord:
Mootichis Ziibaa garbicha Saaʼol ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ani ilma ilma gooftaa keetiitiif, waan kan Saaʼolii fi kan maatii isaa taʼe hunda kenneera.
10 therefore shalt thou till for him the ground, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, and shalt bring in, so that thy lord’s son may have bread to eat, but, Mephibosheth, thy lord’s son, shall continually eat bread 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 said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king shall command his servant, so, will thy servant do, —but, Mephibosheth, is to eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
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 Now, Mephibosheth, had a little son, whose name, was Micha. And, all that dwelt in the house of Ziba, were servants unto Mephibosheth.
Mefiibooshet ilma dargaggeessa Miikaa jedhamu tokko qaba ture; warri mana Ziibaa jiraatan hundi hojjettoota Mefiiboostee turan.
13 So, Mephibosheth, dwelt in Jerusalem, for, at the table of the king, continually, had he to eat, —he being lame, in both his feet.
Mefiibooshetis sababii yeroo hunda maaddii mootii irraa nyaachaa tureef Yerusaalem keessa jiraata ture; miilli isaa lachuu naafa ture.
