< Samuel 2 9 >

1 David bia be, “Ame aɖe gakpɔtɔ ɖe Saul ƒe aƒe me, ame si nu mave le Yonatan ta?”
And Dauid seide, Whether ony man is, that lefte of the hows of Saul, that Y do mercy with hym for Jonathas?
2 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.”
Forsothe a seruaunt, Siba bi name, was of the hous of Saul; whom whanne the kyng hadde clepid to hym silf, `the kyng seide to hym, Whethir thou art not Siba? And he answeride, Y am thi seruaunt.
3 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.”
And the kyng seide, Whether ony man lyueth of the hows of Saul, that Y do with hym the mercy of God? And Siba seide to the kyng, A sone of Jonathas lyueth, feble in the feet.
4 Fia la biae be, “Afi ka wòle?” Ziba ɖo eŋu be, “Ele Amiel ƒe vi Makir ƒe aƒe me le Lo Debar.”
The kyng seide, Where is he? And Siba seide to the kyng, Lo! he is in the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, in Lodabar.
5 Ale Fia David na wokplɔe tso Lo Debar vɛ tso Makir, Amiel ƒe viŋutsu, Makar ƒe aƒe me.
Therfor `Dauid the kyng sente, and took hym fro the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, fro Lodobar.
6 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.”
Forsothe whanne Myphibosech, the sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, hadde come to Dauid, he felde in to his face, and worschipide. And Dauid seide, Myphibosech! Which answeride, Y am present, thi seruaunt.
7 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.”
And Dauid seide to hym, Drede thou not, for Y doynge schal do mersi to thee for Jonathas, thi fadir; and Y schal restore to thee alle the feeldis of Saul, thi fadir, and thou schalt ete breed in my boord euere.
8 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?”
Which worschipide him, and seide, Who am Y, thi seruaunt, for thou hast biholde on a deed dogge lijk me?
9 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.
Therfor the kyng clepide Siba, the child of Saul; and seide to hym, Y haue youe to the sone of thi lord alle thingis, which euer weren of Saul, and al the hows of hym;
10 Wò kple viwòwo kple wò subɔlawo miade agble ɖe anyigba la dzi nɛ eye miatsɔ nukuawo vɛ ale be wò aƒetɔ ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi nakpɔ nuɖuɖu. Ke Mefiboset, wò aƒetɔ ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi, aɖu nu le nye kplɔ̃ ŋu.” Azɔ la, viŋutsu wuiatɔ̃ kple subɔla blaeve nɔ Ziba si.
therfor worche thou the lond to hym, thou, and thi sones, and thi seruauntis, and thou schalt brynge in meetis to the sone of thi lord, that he be fed; forsothe Myphibosech, sone of thi lord, schal ete euer breed on my bord. Sotheli fiftene sones and twenti seruauntis weren to Siba.
11 Ziba gblɔ na fia la be, “Wò subɔla awɔ nu sia nu si nye aƒetɔ, fia la aɖe gbe na eƒe subɔla be wòawɔ.” Ale Mefiboset ɖua nu le Fia David ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu abe fia la ƒe viwo dometɔ ɖeka ene.
And Siba seyde to the kyng, As thou, my lord kyng, hast comaundid to thi seruaunt, so thi seruaunt schal do; and Myphibosech, as oon of the sones of the kyng, schal ete on thi boord.
12 Viŋutsuvi sue aɖe nɔ Mefiboset si; eŋkɔe nye Mika. Ziba ƒe aƒemetɔwo katã zu Mefiboset ƒe subɔlawo.
Forsothe Myphibosech hadde a litil sone, Mycha bi name; sotheli al the meyne of the hows of Siba seruyde Myphibosech.
13 Ke Mefiboset ya nɔ Yerusalem, elabena eɖua nu le fia la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu, eye eƒe atawo kple eve tu.
Forsothe Myphibosech dwellide in Jerusalem; for he eet contynueli of the kingis boord, and was crokid on either foot.
