1 Ɛda bi, Dawid pɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛhunu sɛ obi aka wɔ Saulo fie anaa. Ɛfiri sɛ na wahyɛ Yonatan bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn adɔeɛ.
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 asomfoɔ mu. Na ɔhene bisaa no sɛ, “Wo na wɔfrɛ wo Siba no anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, mene 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 sɛ, “Obi aka wɔ Saulo efie anaa? Sɛ ɛte saa a mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn adɔeɛ a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn wɔ ɛkwan biara a mɛtumi so.” Siba buaa ɔhene sɛ, “Yonatan babarima obubuafoɔ 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 bisaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ he?” Siba buaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ Amiel babarima Makir fie 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 firii Amiel babarima Makir fie 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 nana. Ɔbaa Dawid anim no, ɔde ahopopoɔ kotoo no, kaa sɛ, “Meyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ.”
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 sɛ, “Nsuro, na deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɛsiane wʼagya Yonatan enti, mɛyɛ wo adɔeɛ. Nsase a na ɛyɛ wo nana Saulo agyapadeɛ no nyinaa, mɛsane mede mama wo, na woadidi me didipono 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 kaa sɛ, “Hwan ne me, ɔkraman funu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ me saa adɔeɛ yi?”
Mefiboseti anawerama pansi ndipo anati, “Mtumiki wanu ndine yani kuti musamale galu wakufa ngati ine?”
9 Ɔhene frɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Siba, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mede biribiara a na ɛyɛ Saulo ne ne fiefoɔ agyapadeɛ no nyinaa ama wo wura Saulo nanabarima 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 mmammarima ne mo asomfoɔ na mobɛdɔ asase no, ayɛ so mfuo ama no, na wanya aduane ama ne fiefoɔ. Na Mefiboset deɛ, ɔne me bɛtena mʼahemfie ha.” Na Siba a na ɔwɔ mmammarima dunum ne asomfoɔ aduonu no buaa sɛ,
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, mɛdi so.” Na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Mefiboset ne Dawid didii daa te sɛ deɛ ɔyɛ nʼasene 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 ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Siba fiefoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Mefiboset asomfoɔ.
Mefiboseti anali ndi mwana wamngʼono wamwamuna wotchedwa Mika, ndipo onse a banja la Ziba anali antchito a Mefiboseti.
13 Na Mefiboset a ɔyɛ obubuafoɔ no tu kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔtenaa ahemfie hɔ.
Ndipo Mefiboseti anakhala mu Yerusalemu chifukwa nthawi zonse amadya ndi mfumu. Iye anali wolumala mapazi ake onse.
