2 Samuel 9
1 One day David asked, “Is there anyone who is a descendant of Saul to whom I can be kind?” He asked this because he wanted to honor Jonathan.
Eso afaega, Da: ibidi da amane adole ba: i, “Solo ea sosogo fi dunu afae da esalabala? Amai galea, na da Yonada: nema asigiba: le, ema asigi hou olelemu hanai gala.”
2 [They told him that] there was [in Jerusalem] a man named Ziba who had been a servant of Saul’s family. So [David sent messengers to summon Ziba. When he arrived], the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, I am.”
Solo ea sosogo fi hawa: hamosu dunu afae amo ea dio Siba da esalebe ba: i. Ilia da e Da: ibidima masa: ne sia: i. Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Sibala: ?” E bu adole i, “Ma! Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu!”
3 The king asked him, “Is there anyone in Saul’s family to whom I can be kind, [as I promised Jonathan that I would do]?” Ziba replied, “Yes, there is one son of Jonathan who is still [alive]. His feet are crippled.”
Hina bagade Da: ibidi da ema amane adole ba: i, “Solo ea sosogo fi dunu afae esalabala? Na da na Godema ilegei defele, agoai dunuma asigi hou olelemusa: dawa: lala.” Siba da bu adole i, “Yonada: ne egefe afadafa fawane da esala. E da gasuga: igi gala.”
4 The king asked him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied, “He is [living] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar [city east of the Jordan River].”
Da: ibidi da adole ba: i, “E da habidili esalabala?” Siba da adole i, “E da Loudiba sogega, Ma: ige (A: miele egefe) amo ea diasua esala.”
5 So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da Mifibousiede ema misa: ne sia: si.
6 When Mephibosheth came to David, he knelt down with his face on the ground, to show respect. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, how may I serve you?”
Mifibousiede (Yonada: ne egefe amola Solo ea aowa) da doaga: loba, e da Da: ibidima nodoma: ne, e midadi begudui. Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Mifibousiede!” E bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu!”
7 David said to him, “Do not be afraid; I will be kind to you because Jonathan your father [was my loyal friend]. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul. And [I want] you to always eat with me at my house [MTY].”
Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Mae beda: ma! Na da dia ada Yonada: ne dawa: beba: le, dima asigiwane hamomu. Na da soge huluane amo dia aowa ea gagui, amo dima bu imunu. Amola di da eso huluane na diasuga ha: i manu da defea.”
8 Mephibosheth bowed [in front of David again] and said, “Sir, I am [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog; I do not deserve [RHQ] that you be kind to me!”
Mifibousiede da bu beguduli, amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na hou da wa: me bogoi amo ilia hou hame baligisa. Nama da noga: i hou agoai da hame hamomu galu.”
9 Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “Saul was your master; now I am giving to Mephibosheth everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da Solo ea hawa: hamosu dunu, Siba, amo ema misa: ne wele sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Na da dia hina ea aowa amo Mifibousiede, ema liligi huluane amo Solo amola ea sosogo ilia musa: gagui liligi, amo ema bu imunu.
10 You and your 15 sons and your 20 servants must till/plow the land for Mephibosheth’s [family], and [plant crops] and harvest them, in order that they will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth will eat food with me at my house.”
Di amola diagofelali amola dia hawa: hamosu dunu da Solo ea sosogo fi ilima ha: i manu ima: ne, ea soge amoga ha: i manu bugimu amola dadamini gaguli misa. Be Mifibousiede e fawane da eso hulu nina: ha: i nasu fafai amogai nasu hamomu.” (Siba egefelali da15agoane ba: i, amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da 20 agoane esalu).
11 Ziba replied to the king, “Your majesty, I will do everything that you have commanded me to do.” So [after that], Mephibosheth always ate at the king’s table, as though he were one of the king’s sons.
Siba da bu adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na da dia hamoma: ne sia: i huluane amo defele hamomu!” Amaiba: le, Mifibousiede da hina bagade egefelali defele, Da: ibidi ea ha: i nasu fafai amoga fili, ha: i nasu.
12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All of Ziba’s family became servants of Mephibosheth.
Mifibousiede da goi mano ea dio Maiga esalu. Siba ea sosogo huluane da Mifibousiede ea hawa: hamosu lai.
13 And Mephibosheth, who was still crippled in both of his feet, started to live in Jerusalem, and he always ate (at the king’s table/with the king).
Amalalu, Mifibousiede (ea emo aduna da gasuga: igi galu) e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu. E da ea ha: i manu huluane amo hina bagade ea ha: i nasu fafai amoga nasu.
