1 Da bi, Dawid pɛɛ sɛ obehu sɛ obi aka wɔ Saulo fi ana. Efisɛ na wahyɛ Yonatan bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn adɔe.
And he said David ¿ for [is] there still [one] who he is left to [the] house of Saul so I may do with him covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan.
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.”
And [belonged] to [the] house of Saul a servant and name his [was] Ziba and people summoned him to David and he said the king to him ¿ [are] you Ziba and he said servant your.
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.”
And he said the king ¿ [is] there not still anyone of [the] house of Saul so I may do with him [the] covenant loyalty of God and he said Ziba to the king still a son of Jonathan stricken of both feet.
4 Ɔhene bisae se, “Ɔwɔ he?” Siba buae se, “Ɔwɔ Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar.”
And he said to him the king where? [is] he and he said Ziba to the king here! he [is] [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
5 Na ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔfaa no fii Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar, de no brɛɛ no.
And he sent the king David and he took him from [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
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.”
And he came Mephibosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul to David and he fell on face his and he bowed down and he said David O Mephibosheth and he said here! [is] servant your.
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.”
And he said to him David may not you be afraid for certainly I will do with you covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan father your and I will restore to you all [the] land of Saul father your and you you will eat food on table my continually.
8 Mefiboset bɔɔ ne mu ase kae se, “Hena ne me, ɔkraman funu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ me saa adɔe yi?”
And he bowed down and he said what? [is] servant your that you have turned to the dog dead who [is] like me.
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.
And he summoned the king Ziba [the] servant of Saul and he said to him all that it belonged to Saul and to all household his I have given to [the] son of master your.
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,
And you will work for him the land you and sons your and servants your and you will bring and it will be for [the] son of master your food and he will eat it and Mephibosheth [the] son of master your he will eat continually food on table my and [belonged] to Ziba fif-teen sons and twenty servants.
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.
