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.”

And David said, Is there yet any that 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.”

And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose name [was] Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, [Art] thou Ziba? And he said, Thy 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.”

And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? and Ziba said to the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, [who is] lame in [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 to him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.

5 Ouinge Tokosra David el sapla solal.

Then king David sent, and brought him from the house of Machir, 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.”

Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy 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, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt 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?”

And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon 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, I have given to thy master's son all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house.

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.)

Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy 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 said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as 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.

And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micah. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants to Mephibosheth.

13 Ouinge Mephibosheth, su ulla nial kewa, el mutana Jerusalem ac mongo yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo nukewa.

So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king's table; and was lame in both his feet.
