2 Samuel 9
1 And David saith, 'Is there yet any left to the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?'
Otu ụbọchị, Devid jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “O nwere onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼezinaụlọ Sọl? Achọrọ m igosi onye ahụ obi ebere nʼihi Jonatan.”
2 And the house of Saul hath a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him unto David; and the king saith unto him, 'Art thou Ziba?' and he saith, 'Thy servant.'
Ọ nụrụ ihe banyere otu nwoke aha ya bụ Ziba, onye bụ otu nʼime ndị ohu Sọl. O ziri ozi ka a kpọọ ya. Mgbe ọ bịara nʼihu Devid, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Ọ bụ gị bụ Ziba?” Ọ zara sị, “E, onyenwe m, ọ bụ m ohu gị.”
3 And the king saith, 'Is there not yet a man to the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?' And Ziba saith unto the king, 'Jonathan hath yet a son — lame.'
Eze jụrụ ya sị, “Ọ dị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼezinaụlọ Sọl? Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị onye fọdụrụ, achọrọ m igosi ya ụdị obiọma Chineke na-egosi.” Ziba zara ya sị, “Otu nwa nwoke Jonatan, nke dara ngwụrọ nọ ndụ.”
4 And the king saith to him, 'Where [is] he?' and Ziba saith unto the king, 'Lo, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar.'
Eze jụrụ, “Ebee ka ọ nọ?” Ziba zaghachiri, “Ọ nọ na Lo Deba, nʼụlọ Makia, nwa Amiel.”
5 And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-Debar,
Ya mere eze Devid ziri ka e site nʼobodo Lo Deba, nʼụlọ Makia nwa Amiel kpọta ya.
6 and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, cometh unto David, and falleth on his face, and doth obeisance, and David saith, 'Mephibosheth;' and he saith, 'Lo, thy servant.'
Mgbe Mefiboshet nwa Jonatan, nwa Sọl, bịara nʼebe Devid nọ, o hulatara isi, kpọọrọ ya isiala, nʼọnọdụ nsọpụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, Devid kpọrọ ya aha sị, “Mefiboshet,” Mefiboshet zara sị ya, “A bụ m ohu gị.”
7 And David saith to him, 'Be not afraid; for I certainly do with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou dost eat bread at my table continually.'
Ma Devid sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼezie, aga m egosi gị obiọma nʼihi nna gị Jonatan. Aga m enyeghachi gị ala niile nna nna gị Sọl nwere. Ma ị ga-eso soro m na-eri nri na tebul m oge niile.”
8 And he boweth himself, and saith, 'What [is] thy servant, that thou hast turned unto the dead dog — such as I?'
Mefiboshet dara nʼala nʼihu eze sị, “Eze, onye ka m bụ i ji egosi nkịta nwụrụ anwụ dịka m obi ebere?”
9 And the king calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith unto him, 'All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of thy lord,
Eze kpọrọ Ziba ohu Sọl ahụ sị ya, “Enyeghachila m nwa nwa nna gị ukwu ihe niile Sọl na ụlọ ya nwere.
10 and thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons, and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my table;' and Ziba hath fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị ozi gị ga-arụ ọrụ nʼubi ya ịrụpụta nri. Ma Mefiboshet, nwa nwa nna gị ukwu ga na-eri ihe na tebul m.” Ziba, nwere ụmụ ndị ikom iri na ise, na iri ndị ozi abụọ.
11 And Ziba saith unto the king, 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so doth thy servant;' as to Mephibosheth, 'he is eating at my table ([saith the king]) as one of the sons of the king.'
Ọ sịrị eze, “Onyenwe m, ohu gị ga-eme ihe niile eze nyere m nʼiwu.” Site nʼoge ahụ, Mefiboshet riri nri na tebul Devid dịka ọ bụ otu nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom eze.
12 And Mephibosheth hath a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and every one dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.
Mefiboshet nwekwara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Mika. Ziba na ndị niile bi nʼụlọ ya niile ghọrọ ndị ohu Mefiboshet.
13 And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for at the table of the king he is eating continually, and he [is] lame of his two feet.
Ma Mefiboshet biri na Jerusalem nʼihi na ọ bụ na tebul eze ka ọ na-eri nri mgbe niile. Ọ bụ onye dara ngwụrọ nʼụkwụ ya abụọ.
