2 Samweli 9

1 Daudi akauliza, “Je, hakuna mtu hata mmoja wa nyumba ya Sauli aliyebaki ambaye naweza kumtendea wema kwa ajili ya Yonathani?”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei toe ni ha tokotaha ʻi he fale ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ha ʻofa ki ai koeʻuhi ko Sonatane?”

2 Basi palikuwepo mtumishi wa nyumba ya Sauli aliyeitwa Siba. Wakamwita aje mbele ya Daudi, naye mfalme akamwambia, “Wewe ndiwe Siba?” Akamjibu, “Naam, mimi ndiye mtumishi wako.”

Pea naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Saula ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Sipa. Pea ʻi heʻenau ui mai ia [ke haʻu ]kia Tevita, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko Sipa koe?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au.”

3 Mfalme akauliza, “Je, hakuna yeyote ambaye amebaki wa nyumba ya Sauli ninayeweza kumwonyesha wema wa Mungu?” Siba akamjibu mfalme, “Bado yupo mwana wa Yonathani, yeye ni kiwete miguu yote.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻOku ʻikai toe koā ha tokotaha ʻoe fale ʻo Saula, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngāue lelei fakaʻotua kiate ia?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku kei [moʻui ]ha foha ʻo Sonatane ʻoku ketu.”

4 Mfalme akauliza, “Yuko wapi?” Siba akajibu, “Yuko nyumbani kwa Makiri mwana wa Amieli huko Lo-Debari.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻOku nofo ia ki fē?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Makili, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmieli ʻi Lotipale.”

5 Basi Mfalme Daudi akamtaka aletwe kutoka Lo-Debari, kutoka nyumbani kwa Makiri mwana wa Amieli.

Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Tevita ke ʻomi ia mei he fale ʻo Makili, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmieli, mei Lotipale.

6 Mefiboshethi mwana wa Yonathani, mwana wa Sauli, alipofika kwa Daudi, akainama kumpa mfalme heshima. Daudi akamwita, “Mefiboshethi!” Mefiboshethi akajibu, “Ndimi mtumishi wako.”

Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻene haʻu kia Tevita, ʻa Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo Sonatane, ko e foha ʻo Saula, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono mata, ʻo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Mifiposeti.” Pea naʻe tali ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au!”

7 Daudi akamwambia, “Usiogope, kwa maana hakika nitakutendea wema kwa ajili ya baba yako Yonathani. Nitakurudishia ardhi yote iliyokuwa mali ya Sauli baba yako, nawe daima utakula chakula mezani pangu.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he te u fakahā moʻoni kiate koe ʻae ʻofa, koeʻuhi ko Sonatane ko hoʻo tamai, pea te u toe ʻange kiate koe ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Saula ko hoʻo tamai; pea te ke maʻu hoʻo meʻakai mei hoku keinangaʻanga maʻuaipē.”

8 Mefiboshethi akasujudu akasema, “Mimi mtumishi wako ni nini hata uangalie mbwa mfu kama mimi?”

Pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke ke sio ai ki ha kulī mate ʻo hangē ko au?

9 Ndipo mfalme akamwita Siba mtumishi wa Sauli na kumwambia, “Nimempa mwana wa bwana wako kila kitu kilichokuwa mali ya Sauli na jamaa yake.

Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe he tuʻi kia Sipa ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo u foaki ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Saula pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.

10 Wewe, wanao na watumishi wako mtamlimia mashamba Mefiboshethi na kumletea mavuno, ili kwamba mwana wa bwana wako apate mahitaji yake. Naye Mefiboshethi mwana wa bwana wako atakula chakula mezani pangu daima.” (Siba alikuwa na wana kumi na watano, na watumishi ishirini.)

Pea ko ia te ke ngoueʻi ʻae fonua maʻana, ʻe koe mo hoʻo ngaahi foha, pea mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te ke utu mai, koeʻuhi ke ai ha meʻakai ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki: ka ʻe kai ʻe Mifiposeti ko e foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga maʻuaipē.” Pea ko eni naʻe ʻia Sipa ʻae fānau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma nima, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko uofulu.

11 Ndipo Siba akamwambia mfalme, “Mtumishi wako atafanya chochote bwana wangu mfalme atakachoagiza mtumishi wake kufanya.” Basi Mefiboshethi akala chakula mezani pa Daudi kama mmoja wa wana wa mfalme.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe Sipa ki he tuʻi, “ʻO hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo fekau ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē hono fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.” [Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ]“ʻE kai ʻa Mifiposeti ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga ʻoʻoku ʻo hangē ko ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi.”

12 Mefiboshethi alikuwa na mwanawe mdogo aliyeitwa Mika, nao watu wote wa nyumba ya Siba walikuwa watumishi wa Mefiboshethi.

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mifiposeti ʻae foha siʻi ʻaia naʻe ui ko Mika. Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he fale ʻo Sipa naʻa nau tauhi kia Mifiposeti.

13 Naye Mefiboshethi akaishi huko Yerusalemu, kwa sababu daima alikula mezani pa mfalme, naye alikuwa kiwete miguu yote.

Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Mifiposeti ki Selūsalema; he naʻa ne kai maʻuaipē ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻoe tuʻi; pea naʻe ketu hono vaʻe fakatouʻosi.
