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?'

Ɛda bi, Dawid pɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛhunu sɛ obi aka wɔ Saulo fie anaa. Ɛfiri sɛ na wahyɛ Yonatan bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn adɔeɛ.

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.'

Ɔfrɛɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Siba a na anka ɔfra Saulo asomfoɔ mu. Na ɔhene bisaa no sɛ, “Wo na wɔfrɛ wo Siba no anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, mene Siba no.”

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.'

Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Obi aka wɔ Saulo efie anaa? Sɛ ɛte saa a mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn adɔeɛ a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn wɔ ɛkwan biara a mɛtumi so.” Siba buaa ɔhene sɛ, “Yonatan babarima obubuafoɔ bi da so wɔ hɔ.”

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.'

Ɔhene bisaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ he?” Siba buaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ Amiel babarima Makir fie wɔ Lo-debar.”

5 And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-Debar,

Na ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔfaa no firii Amiel babarima Makir fie wɔ Lo-debar, de no brɛɛ no.

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.'

Ne din de Mefiboset, a ɔyɛ Yonatan babarima ne Saulo nana. Ɔbaa Dawid anim no, ɔde ahopopoɔ kotoo no, kaa sɛ, “Meyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ.”

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.'

Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro, na deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɛsiane wʼagya Yonatan enti, mɛyɛ wo adɔeɛ. Nsase a na ɛyɛ wo nana Saulo agyapadeɛ no nyinaa, mɛsane mede mama wo, na woadidi me didipono so daa daa.”

8 And he boweth himself, and saith, 'What [is] thy servant, that thou hast turned unto the dead dog — such as I?'

Mefiboset bɔɔ ne mu ase kaa sɛ, “Hwan ne me, ɔkraman funu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ me saa adɔeɛ yi?”

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,

Ɔhene frɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Siba, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mede biribiara a na ɛyɛ Saulo ne ne fiefoɔ agyapadeɛ no nyinaa ama wo wura Saulo nanabarima no.

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.

Wo ne wo mmammarima ne mo asomfoɔ na mobɛdɔ asase no, ayɛ so mfuo ama no, na wanya aduane ama ne fiefoɔ. Na Mefiboset deɛ, ɔne me bɛtena mʼahemfie ha.” Na Siba a na ɔwɔ mmammarima dunum ne asomfoɔ aduonu no buaa sɛ,

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.'

“Me wura pa, asɛm a woaka akyerɛ me no nyinaa, mɛdi so.” Na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Mefiboset ne Dawid didii daa te sɛ deɛ ɔyɛ nʼasene mu ba.

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.

Na Mefiboset wɔ ɔba abarimaa bi a ne din de Mika. Na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Siba fiefoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Mefiboset asomfoɔ.

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.

Na Mefiboset a ɔyɛ obubuafoɔ no tu kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔtenaa ahemfie hɔ.
