< 2 Samuel 9 >
1 Da bi, Dawid pɛɛ sɛ obehu sɛ obi aka wɔ Saulo fi ana. Efisɛ na wahyɛ Yonatan bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn adɔe.
Davide anafunsa kuti, “Kodi alipo amene watsala mʼbanja la Sauli kuti ndimuchitire chifundo chifukwa cha Yonatani?”
2 Ɔfrɛɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Siba a na anka ɔfra Saulo asomfo mu. Na ɔhene bisaa no se, “Wo na wɔfrɛ wo Siba no ana?” Obuaa no se, “Yiw, me ne Siba no.”
Tsono panali mtumiki wina wa banja la Sauli wotchedwa Ziba. Iwo anamuyitana kuti aonekere pamaso pa Davide, ndipo mfumu inamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Ziba?” Iyeyo anayankha kuti, “Ine mtumiki wanu.”
3 Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Obi aka wɔ Saulo fi ana? Sɛ ɛte saa a mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn adɔe a efi Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔkwan biara a metumi so.” Siba buaa ɔhene se, “Yonatan babarima obubuafo bi da so wɔ hɔ.”
Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Kodi palibe amene watsala wa banja la Sauli amene ndingamuchitire chifundo cha Mulungu?” Ziba anayankha mfumu kuti, “Alipo mwana wa Yonatani, koma ndi wolumala mapazi ake onse.”
4 Ɔhene bisae se, “Ɔwɔ he?” Siba buae se, “Ɔwɔ Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar.”
Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti?” Ziba anayankha kuti, “Iye ali ku nyumba ya Makiri mwana wa Amieli ku Lodebara.”
5 Na ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔfaa no fii Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar, de no brɛɛ no.
Kotero mfumu inamubweretsa kuchokera ku Lodebara, ku nyumba ya Makiri mwana wa Amieli.
6 Ne din de Mefiboset, a ɔyɛ Yonatan babarima ne Saulo nena. Ɔbaa Dawid anim no, ɔde ahopopo kotow no, kae se, “Meyɛ wo somfo.”
Mefiboseti mwana wa Yonatani, mwana wa Sauli atafika kwa Davide, anawerama pansi kupereka ulemu kwa iye. Davide anati, “Mefiboseti!” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine mtumiki wanu.”
7 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro, na nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no, esiane wʼagya Yonatan nti, mɛyɛ wo adɔe. Nsase a na ɛyɛ wo nena Saulo agyapade no nyinaa, mɛsan de ama wo, na woadidi me didipon so daa daa.”
Davide anati kwa iye, “Usachite mantha, pakuti ndidzakuchitira ndithu chifundo chifukwa cha abambo ako Yonatani. Ine ndidzakubwezera iwe dziko lonse limene linali la agogo ako Sauli, ndipo iweyo udzadya ndi ine nthawi zonse.”
8 Mefiboset bɔɔ ne mu ase kae se, “Hena ne me, ɔkraman funu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ me saa adɔe yi?”
Mefiboseti anawerama pansi ndipo anati, “Mtumiki wanu ndine yani kuti musamale galu wakufa ngati ine?”
9 Ɔhene frɛɛ ne somfo Siba, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mede biribiara a na ɛyɛ Saulo ne ne fifo agyapade no nyinaa ama wo wura Saulo nenabarima no.
Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa Ziba, mtumiki wa Sauli, ndipo anati, “Ine ndapereka kwa chidzukulu cha mbuye wako chilichonse chimene chinali cha Sauli ndi banja lake.
10 Wo ne wo mmabarima ne mo asomfo na mobɛdɔw asase no, ayɛ so mfuw ama no, na wanya aduan ama ne fifo. Na Mefiboset de, ɔne me bɛtena mʼahemfi ha.” Na Siba a na ɔwɔ mmabarima dunum ne asomfo aduonu no buae se,
Iwe ndi ana ndi antchito anu muzimulimira mʼdziko lake ndipo muzibweretsa zokololazo kuti chidzukulu cha mbuye wako chikhale ndi chakudya. Ndipo Mefiboseti, chidzukulu cha mbuye wako adzadya ndi ine nthawi zonse.” (Tsono Ziba anali ndi ana aamuna khumi ndi asanu ndi antchito makumi awiri).
11 “Me wura pa, asɛm a woaka akyerɛ me no nyinaa, medi so.” Na efi saa bere no, Mefiboset ne Dawid didii daa te sɛnea ɔyɛ nʼasen mu ba.
Ndipo Ziba anati kwa mfumu, “Mtumiki wanu adzachita chilichonse chimene mbuye wanga mfumu mudzalamulire wantchito wanu kuti achite.” Kotero Mefiboseti ankadya ndi Davide monga mmodzi wa ana a mfumu.
12 Na Mefiboset wɔ ɔba abarimaa bi a ne din de Mika. Na efi saa bere no, Siba fifo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Mefiboset asomfo.
Mefiboseti anali ndi mwana wamngʼono wamwamuna wotchedwa Mika, ndipo onse a banja la Ziba anali antchito a Mefiboseti.
13 Na Mefiboset a ɔyɛ obubuafo no tu kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔtenaa ahemfi hɔ.
Ndipo Mefiboseti anakhala mu Yerusalemu chifukwa nthawi zonse amadya ndi mfumu. Iye anali wolumala mapazi ake onse.
