2 Samuel 9
1 And he said David ¿ for [is] there still [one] who he is left to [the] house of Saul so I may do with him covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan.
David bia be, “Ame aɖe gakpɔtɔ ɖe Saul ƒe aƒe me, ame si nu mave le Yonatan ta?”
2 And [belonged] to [the] house of Saul a servant and name his [was] Ziba and people summoned him to David and he said the king to him ¿ [are] you Ziba and he said servant your.
Azɔ la, dɔla aɖe nɔ Saul ƒe aƒe me si ŋkɔe nye Ziba. Woyɔe va David ŋkume eye fia la biae be, “Wòe nye Ziba?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Wò dɔlae.”
3 And he said the king ¿ [is] there not still anyone of [the] house of Saul so I may do with him [the] covenant loyalty of God and he said Ziba to the king still a son of Jonathan stricken of both feet.
Fia la biae be “Ame aɖeke megale Saul ƒe aƒe me si maɖe Mawu ƒe amenuveve afia oa?” Ziba ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu aɖe gali ko, ame si ƒe atawo kple eve tu.”
4 And he said to him the king where? [is] he and he said Ziba to the king here! he [is] [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
Fia la biae be, “Afi ka wòle?” Ziba ɖo eŋu be, “Ele Amiel ƒe vi Makir ƒe aƒe me le Lo Debar.”
5 And he sent the king David and he took him from [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
Ale Fia David na wokplɔe tso Lo Debar vɛ tso Makir, Amiel ƒe viŋutsu, Makar ƒe aƒe me.
6 And he came Mephibosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul to David and he fell on face his and he bowed down and he said David O Mephibosheth and he said here! [is] servant your.
Esi Mefiboset, ame si nye Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu kple Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi va ɖo David gbɔ la, ede ta agu hede bubu eŋu. David yɔe be, “Mefiboset!” Mefiboset ɖo eŋu be, “Nye, wò dɔlae nye esi.”
7 And he said to him David may not you be afraid for certainly I will do with you covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan father your and I will restore to you all [the] land of Saul father your and you you will eat food on table my continually.
David gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena mave nuwò vavã le fofowò, Yonatan ta. Magbugbɔ tɔgbuiwò, Saul, ƒe anyigbawo katã ana wò eye àɖu nu gbe sia gbe le nye kplɔ̃ ŋuti.”
8 And he bowed down and he said what? [is] servant your that you have turned to the dog dead who [is] like me.
Mefiboset tsyɔ mo anyi gblɔ be, “Nu kae wò dɔla nye be nètsɔ ɖe le eme na nye, ame si le abe avu kuku ene?”
9 And he summoned the king Ziba [the] servant of Saul and he said to him all that it belonged to Saul and to all household his I have given to [the] son of master your.
David yɔ Saul ƒe subɔla Ziba eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Metsɔ nu sia nu si nye Saul kple eƒe ƒomea tɔ la na wò aƒetɔ Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
10 And you will work for him the land you and sons your and servants your and you will bring and it will be for [the] son of master your food and he will eat it and Mephibosheth [the] son of master your he will eat continually food on table my and [belonged] to Ziba fif-teen sons and twenty servants.

11 And he said Ziba to the king according to all that he will command lord my the king servant his so he will do servant your and Mephibosheth [was] eating on table my like one from [the] children of the king.

Viŋutsuvi sue aɖe nɔ Mefiboset si; eŋkɔe nye Mika. Ziba ƒe aƒemetɔwo katã zu Mefiboset ƒe subɔlawo.
13 And Mephibosheth [was] dwelling in Jerusalem for on [the] table of the king continually he [was] eating and he ([was] lame *LA(bh)*) [the] two feet his.
Ke Mefiboset ya nɔ Yerusalem, elabena eɖua nu le fia la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye eƒe atawo kple eve tu.
