2 Alikuwepo mtumishi katika familia ya Sauli jina lake Siba, akaitwa kwa Daudi. Mfalme akamuuliza, “Je wewe ndiye Siba?” Akajibu, “Mimi ni mtumishi wako, ndiye.”

3 Hivyo mfalme akasema, “Je hakuna aliyesalia wa familia ya Sauli ambaye naweza kumuonesha wema wa Mungu?” Siba akamjibu mfalme, “Yonathani ana mwana, ambaye ni mlemavu wa miguu.

4 Mfalme akamwambia, “Yupo wapi?” Siba akamjibu mfalme, “Tazama, yupo katika nyumba ya Makiri mwana wa Amieli huko Lo Debari.
and to say to/for him [the] king where? he/she/it and to say Ziba to(wards) [the] king behold he/she/it house: household Machir son: child Ammiel in/on/with Lo-debar Lo-debar

and to send: depart [the] king David and to take: bring him from house: household Machir son: child Ammiel from Lo-debar Lo-debar
6 Hivyo Mefiboshethi mwana wa Yonathani mwana wa Sauli, akaja kwa Daudi naye akainama uso wake hadi katika sakafu kwa kumheshimu Daudi. Daudi akasema, “Mefiboshethi.” Naye akajibu, “Angalia, mimi ni mtumishi wako!
and to come (in): come Mephibosheth son: child Jonathan son: child Saul to(wards) David and to fall: fall upon face his and to bow and to say David Mephibosheth and to say behold servant/slave your
7 Daudi akamwambia, “Usiogope, maana hakika nitakufadhiri kwa ajili ya Yonathani baba yako, nami nitakurudishia ardhi yote ya Sauli babu yako, nawe utakula katika meza yangu daima.”
and to say to/for him David not to fear for to make: do to make: do with you kindness in/on/with for the sake of Jonathan father your and to return: rescue to/for you [obj] all land: country Saul father your and you(m. s.) to eat food upon table my continually
8 Mefiboshethi akainama na kusema, “Mtumishi wako ni nani, hata ukamwangalia kwa fadhiri mbwa mfu kama nilivyo?”
and to bow and to say what? servant/slave your for to turn to(wards) [the] dog [the] to die which like me
9 Kisha mfalme akamwita Siba, mtumishi wa Sauli, na kumwambia, “Yote yaliyo ya Sauli na familia yake nimempa mjukuu wa bwana wako.
and to call: call to [the] king to(wards) Ziba youth Saul and to say to(wards) him all which to be to/for Saul and to/for all house: household his to give: give to/for son: descendant/people lord your
10 Wewe, wanao, na watumishi wako mtalima mashamba kwa ajili yake nanyi mtavuna mazao ili kwamba mjukuu wa bwana wako apate chakula. Kwa maana Mefiboshethi, mjukuu wa bwana wako, atakula katika meza yangu daima.” Basi Siba alikuwa na wana kumi na watano na watumishi ishirini.

11 Kisha Siba akamwambia mfalme, “Mtumishi wako atafanya yote ambayo bwana wangu mfalme amemwamuru mtumishi wake.” Mfalme akaongeza kusema, kwa Mefiboshethi yeye atakula katika meza yangu, kama mmojawapo ya wana wa mfalme.”

12 Mefiboshethi alikuwa na mwana mdogo jina lake Mika. Na wote waliokuwa wanaishi katika nyumba ya Siba walikuwa watumishi wa Mefiboshethi.
and to/for Mephibosheth son: child small and name his Mica and all seat house: household Ziba servant/slave to/for Mephibosheth
13 Hivyo Mefiboshethi akaishi Yerusalemu, naye akala chakula cha daima katika meza ya mfalme, japokuwa alikuwa mlemavu wa miguu yote.
