Samuu'Eel Labaad 9
1 Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, War reerkii Saa'uul wax ka hadhay ma jiraan, aan Yoonaataan aawadiis ugu roonaadee?
One day David asked, “Is there anyone who is a descendant of Saul to whom I can be kind?” He asked this because he wanted to honor Jonathan.
2 Reerkii Saa'uulna waxaa halkaas ka joogay addoon magiciisa la yidhaahdo Siibaa, oo isagii bay Daa'uud ugu yeedheen. Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma Siibaad baad tahay? Oo isna ku yidhi, Haah, waan ahay anoo addoonkaaga ah.
[They told him that] there was [in Jerusalem] a man named Ziba who had been a servant of Saul’s family. So [David sent messengers to summon Ziba. When he arrived], the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, I am.”
3 Markaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Miyaan reerkii Saa'uul wax ka hadhin aan Ilaah aawadiis ugu roonaadee? Siibaana wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Waxaa ka hadhay wiil Yoonaataan dhalay, oo curyaan ah.
The king asked him, “Is there anyone in Saul’s family to whom I can be kind, [as I promised Jonathan that I would do]?” Ziba replied, “Yes, there is one son of Jonathan who is still [alive]. His feet are crippled.”
4 Kolkaasaa boqorkii isagii ku yidhi, Xaggee buu joogaa? Siibaana wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Wuxuu joogaa guriga Maakiir oo ah ina Cammii'eel ee deggan Loo Debaar.
The king asked him, “Where is he?” Ziba replied, “He is [living] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar [city east of the Jordan River].”
5 Markaasaa Boqor Daa'uud u cid diray, oo ka soo kexeeyey gurigii Maakiir oo ahaa ina Cammii'eel, oo ku yiil Loo Debaar.
So King David sent [messengers] to bring Mephibosheth [to Jerusalem].
6 Dabadeedna waxaa Daa'uud u yimid Mefiiboshed, oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan, ina Saa'uul, oo intuu wejiga u dhacay ayuu u sujuuday. Kolkaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, War Mefiiboshedow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Way kan anoo addoonkaaga ah.
When Mephibosheth came to David, he knelt down with his face on the ground, to show respect. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” He replied, “Yes, your majesty, how may I serve you?”
7 Markaasaa Daa'uud isagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, waayo, xaqiiqa waxaan kuugu roonaan doonaa aabbahaa Yoonaataan aawadiis, oo weliba waxaan kuu celin doonaa dhulkii awowgaa Saa'uul oo dhan; oo miiskaygana had iyo goor wax baad ka cuni doontaa.
David said to him, “Do not be afraid; I will be kind to you because Jonathan your father [was my loyal friend]. I will give back to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul. And [I want] you to always eat with me at my house [MTY].”
8 Oo isna intuu u sujuuday ayuu ku yidhi, Bal maxaad igu aragtay anigoo u eg eey dhintay, anoo addoonkaaga ahna maxaan ahay?
Mephibosheth bowed [in front of David again] and said, “Sir, I am [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog; I do not deserve [RHQ] that you be kind to me!”
9 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu u yeedhay Siibaa, oo ahaa Saa'uul midiidinkiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kulli wixii Saa'uul lahaa iyo wax alla wixii reerkiisu lahaa oo dhan waxaan siiyey wiilkii sayidkaaga.
Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “Saul was your master; now I am giving to Mephibosheth everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
10 Haddaba waa inaad dhulka u fashaan isaga, adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo addoommadaaduba, oo midhahana waa inaad gudaha soo gelisaa si uu sayidkaaga wiilkiisu u helo wax uu cuno, laakiinse sayidkaaga wiilkiisa Mefiiboshed ahu mar kasta wax buu ka cuni doonaa miiskayga. Haddaba Siibaa wuxuu lahaa shan iyo toban wiil iyo labaatan addoon.
You and your 15 sons and your 20 servants must till/plow the land for Mephibosheth’s [family], and [plant crops] and harvest them, in order that they will have food to eat. But Mephibosheth will eat food with me at my house.”
11 Markaasaa Siibaa wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Wax alla wixii adoo ah boqorka sayidkayga aad igu amarto anoo addoonkaaga ah, ayaan u yeelayaa. Oo boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Mefiiboshed wuxuu wax ka cuni doonaa miiskayga sidii mid boqorka wiilashiisa ka mid ah.
Ziba replied to the king, “Your majesty, I will do everything that you have commanded me to do.” So [after that], Mephibosheth always ate at the king’s table, as though he were one of the king’s sons.
12 Oo Mefiiboshedna wuxuu lahaa wiil yar, oo magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Miikaa. Intii Siibaa gurigiisa joogtay oo dhammu addoommay Mefiiboshed u ahaayeen.
Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. All of Ziba’s family became servants of Mephibosheth.
13 Mefiiboshedna wuxuu degganaa Yeruusaalem, waayo, wuxuu had iyo goor wax ka cuni jiray miiskii boqorka, oo labada cagoodna curyaan buu ka ahaa.
And Mephibosheth, who was still crippled in both of his feet, started to live in Jerusalem, and he always ate (at the king’s table/with the king).
