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 saith, 'Is there yet any left to 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 hath a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him unto David; and the king saith unto him, 'Art thou Ziba?' and he saith, 'Thy 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 saith, 'Is there not yet a man to the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?' And Ziba saith unto the king, 'Jonathan hath 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 saith to him, 'Where [is] he?' and Ziba saith unto the king, 'Lo, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar.'

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

And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-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, cometh unto David, and falleth on his face, and doth obeisance, and David saith, 'Mephibosheth;' and he saith, 'Lo, thy 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 saith to him, 'Be not afraid; for I certainly do with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou dost eat bread at my table continually.'

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 boweth himself, and saith, 'What [is] thy servant, that thou hast turned unto 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 calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith unto him, 'All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of thy 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 thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons, and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my table;' and Ziba hath 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 saith unto the king, 'According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so doth thy servant;' as to Mephibosheth, 'he is eating at my table ([saith the king]) 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 hath a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and every one 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 at the table of the king he is eating continually, and he [is] lame of his two feet.
