2 Samuel 9

1 Dafidi sì béèrè pé, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹni tí ń ṣe ìdílé Saulu kù síbẹ̀ bí? Kí èmi lè ṣe oore fún un nítorí Jonatani.

And David says, “Is there yet any left of the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?”

2 Ìránṣẹ́ kan sì ti wà ní ìdílé Saulu, orúkọ rẹ̀ sí ń jẹ́ Ṣiba, wọ́n sì pè é wá sọ́dọ̀ Dafidi, ọba sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ìwọ ni Ṣiba bí?” Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni.”

And the house of Saul has a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him to David; and the king says to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he says, “Your servant.”

3 Ọba sì wí pé, “Kò ha sí ọ̀kan nínú ìdílé Saulu síbẹ̀, kí èmi ṣe oore Ọlọ́run fún un?” Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jonatani ní ọmọ kan síbẹ̀ tó ya arọ.”

And the king says, “Is there not yet a man of the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?” And Ziba says to the king, “Jonathan has yet a son—lame.”

4 Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Níbo ni ó gbé wà?” Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Wò ó, òun wà ní ilé Makiri, ọmọ Ammieli, ní Lo-Debari.”

And the king says to him, “Where [is] he?” And Ziba says to the king, “Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Behold-Debar.”

5 Dafidi ọba sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì mú un láti ilé Makiri ọmọ Ammieli láti Lo-Debari wá.

And King David sends, and takes him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Behold-Debar,

6 Mefiboṣeti ọmọ Jonatani ọmọ Saulu sì tọ Dafidi wá, ó sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, ó sì bú ọlá fún un. Dafidi sì wí pé, “Mefiboṣeti!” Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wò ó, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ!”

and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, comes to David, and falls on his face, and pays respect, and David says, “Mephibosheth”; and he says, “Behold, your servant.”

7 Dafidi sì wí fún un pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, nítorí pé nítòótọ́ èmi ó ṣe oore fún ọ nítorí Jonatani baba rẹ, èmi ó sì tún fi gbogbo ilé Saulu baba rẹ fún ọ, ìwọ ó sì máa bá mi jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ mi.”

And David says to him, “Do not be afraid; for I certainly do with you kindness because of your father Jonathan, and have given back to you all the field of your father Saul, and you continually eat bread at my table.”

8 Mefiboṣeti sì tẹríba, ó sì wí pé, “Kí ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jásí, tí ìwọ ó fi máa wo òkú ajá bí èmi.”

And he bows himself and says, “What [is] your servant, that you have turned to the dead dog—such as I?”

9 Ọba sì pe Ṣiba ìránṣẹ́ Saulu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gbogbo nǹkan tí í ṣe ti Saulu, àti gbogbo èyí tí í ṣe ti ìdílé rẹ̀ ni èmi fi fún ọmọ olúwa rẹ.

And the king calls to Ziba servant of Saul and says to him, “All that was of Saul and of all his house, I have given to the son of your lord,

10 Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni yóò sì máa ro ilẹ̀ náà fún un, ìwọ ni yóò sì máa mú ìkórè wá, ọmọ olúwa rẹ yóò sì máa rí oúnjẹ jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n Mefiboṣeti ọmọ olúwa rẹ yóò sì máa bá mi jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ mi.” (Ṣiba sì ní ọmọ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àti ogún ìránṣẹ́kùnrin.)

and you have served the land for him, you and your sons, and your servants, and have brought in, and there has been bread for the son of your lord, and he has eaten it; and Mephibosheth, son of your lord, continually eats bread at my table”; and Ziba has fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Ṣiba sì wí fún ọba pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí olúwa mi ọba ti pàṣẹ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ó ṣe.” Ọba sì wí pé, “Ní ti Mefiboṣeti, yóò máa jẹun ní ibi oúnjẹ mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ ọba.”

And Ziba says to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant does.” “As for Mephibosheth,” [says the king, ] “he is eating at my table as one of the sons of the king.”

12 Mefiboṣeti sì ní ọmọ kékeré kan, orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Mika. Gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní ilé Ṣiba ni ó sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún Mefiboṣeti.

And Mephibosheth has a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and everyone dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.

13 Mefiboṣeti sì ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, òun a sì máa jẹun nígbà gbogbo ní ibi oúnjẹ ọba; òun sì yarọ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.

And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for he is continually eating at the table of the king, and he [is] lame [in] his two feet.
