2 Samoela 9
1 Aa hoe t’i Davide: Mbe aman-tsehanga’e hao ty anjomba’ i Saole hampiboahako fañisohañe Ionatane?
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 Ie amy zao teo ty boak’ añanjomba’ i Saole, ty mpitoroñe atao Tsibà, le kinanji’ iereo ho mb’amy Davide mb’eo, le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: Ihe hao o Tsiba zao? le hoe re: Ie o mpitoro’oo.
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 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Aa vaho tsy nampipoke sehanga’e hao ty anjomba’ i Saole hañasoako am-patarihan’ Añahare? Le hoe t’i Tsibà amy mpanjakay. Toe mbe aman’ anake kepek’ am-pandia’e t’Ionatane.
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 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Aia re? Le hoe t’i Tsibà amy mpanjakay, Oniño t’ie añ’anjomba’ i Makire ana’ i Amiele e Lo-debare añe.
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 Aa le nampañitrife’ i Davide, mpanjaka boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Makire e Lo-debare ao.
Then the king sent, and brought him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
6 Niheo mb’amy Davide mb’eo t’i Mefibosete, ana’ Ionatane, ana’ i Saole, nibabok’ an-dahara’e naho nidrakadrakake. Le hoe t’i Davide: O Mefibosete! Hoe ty natoi’e: Intoy o mpitoro’oo!
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 Le hoe t’i Davide ama’e: Ko hemban-drehe, fa toe hisoheko ty am’ Ionatane rae’o, naho hene hampoliko ama’o ty tane’ i Saole rae’o vaho hikama am-pandambañako eo nainai’e irehe.
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 Niambanea’e le nanao ty hoe: Ino o mpitoro’oo te haoñe’o o amboa mate manahak’ ahio?
He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"
9 Kinanji’ i mpanjakay amy zao t’i Tsibà mpitoro’ i Saole, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa hene natoloko amy anan-talè’oy ty fanaña’ i Saole naho i anjomba’ey.
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 Havae’o naho o ana’o naho mpitoro’oo ho aze i taney vaho hatonto’ areo o voka’eo soa te hanañe mahakama ho kamae’e i anan-talè’oy; fe hikama nainai’e am-pandambañako t’i Mefibosete anan-talè’o. Toe nanañ’ ana-dahy folo-lim’ amby naho mpitoroñe roapolo t’i Tsibà.
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 Aa le hoe ty asa’ i Tsibà amy mpanjakay: Hanoe’ o mpitoro’oo i nandilia’ i talèko mpanjakay amo mpitoro’oo; aa le nikama ampandambaña’e eo re manahake te raik’ amo ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio t’i Mefibosete.
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 Nanañ’ anadahy tora’e ka t’i Mefibosete, Mika ty añara’e. Songa nimpitoro’ i Mefibosete o mpimoneñe añ’ anjomba’ i Tsibào.
Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.
13 Fe nimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao t’i Mefibosete, amy te mpikama am-pandambaña’ i mpanjakay, ie nikepek’ am-pandia’e roe.
So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.
