Luo Samuel 9
1 Sie len ah David el siyuk, “Ya oasr mwet lula in sou lal Saul? Fin oasr, nga lungse fahkak kulang nu sel ke sripal Jonathan.”
David said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
2 Oasr sie mwet kulansap lal Saul, el pa Ziba, na fwackyang nu sel elan som nu yorol David. Ke el som, tokosra el siyuk, “Ku kom pa Ziba?” Na el topuk, “Aok, nga tupan enenu lom.”
There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your servant is he."
3 Tokosra el siyuk sel, “Ku oasr mwet lula in sou lal Saul su nga ac ku in kasru ac fahkak kulang nu sel, oana nga tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD mu nga ac oru?” Ac Ziba el fahk, “Sie sin wen natul Jonathan el srakna moul, tuh el sukapasla.”
The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet."
4 Na tokosra el siyuk, “El aya?” Ziba el fahk, “El oasr lohm sel Machir wen natul Ammiel, in acn Lodebar.”
And the king said, "Where is he?" And Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."
5 Ouinge Tokosra David el sapla solal.
Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
6 Ke Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan natul Saul, el tuku el srimi ye mutal David in akfulatyal. Na David el fahk, “Mephibosheth.” Ac el topuk, “Nga pa inge, nga tupan enenu lom.”
And Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and he fell face down in homage. And David said, "Mippibaal?" And he answered, "Look, your servant."
7 David el fahk, “Nikmet sangeng. Nga ac fah kulang nu sum ke sripal Jonathan, papa tomom. Nga fah folokonot acn nukewa lal Saul, papa matu tomom, ac pacl nukewa kom arulana sukosok in tuku nu ke tepu luk uh.”
And David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually."
8 Mephibosheth el sifilpa srimi ac fahk, “Efu kom oru arulana wo nu sik, sruhk nga tia wo liki kosro ngalngul misa soko?”
He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"
9 Na tokosra el pangnol Ziba, mwet kulansap lal Saul, ac fahk, “Nga ac folokonang ma nukewa lal Saul, leum lom, ac lun sou lal, nu sel Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul.
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master's son.
10 Kom, ac wen nutum ac mwet kulansap lom, ac fah imai acn inge nu sin sou lal Saul, leum lom. Kowos in orani fokin kosrani ac sang kitalos. Tusruktu Mephibosheth sifacna el ac fah sukosok nu ke tepu luk pacl nukewa.” (Oasr wen singoul limekosr natul Ziba, ac mwet kulansap longoul lal.)
You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Na Ziba el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga fah oru ma nukewa ma kom sapkin.” Ouinge Mephibosheth el wi mongo ke tepu lun tokosra, oapana sie tulik nutin tokosra.
Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.
12 Oasr sie wen fusr natul Mephibosheth pangpang Mica. Mwet nukewa in sou lal Ziba elos mwet kulansapla lal Mephibosheth.
Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.
13 Ouinge Mephibosheth, su ulla nial kewa, el mutana Jerusalem ac mongo yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo nukewa.
So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
