2 Samoela 9
1 Aa hoe t’i Davide: Mbe aman-tsehanga’e hao ty anjomba’ i Saole hampiboahako fañisohañe Ionatane?
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew 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.
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy 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.
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on 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 unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
5 Aa le nampañitrife’ i Davide, mpanjaka boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Makire e Lo-debare ao.
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir 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 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy 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 unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt 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?
And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon 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 unto him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy 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.
And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway 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 said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the kings sons.
12 Nanañ’ anadahy tora’e ka t’i Mefibosete, Mika ty añara’e. Songa nimpitoro’ i Mefibosete o mpimoneñe añ’ anjomba’ i Tsibào.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 Fe nimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao t’i Mefibosete, amy te mpikama am-pandambaña’ i mpanjakay, ie nikepek’ am-pandia’e roe.
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and he was lame on both his feet.
