< 2 Samuel 9 >

1 And David said, Is there still anyone of Saul's family living, so that I may be a friend to him, because of Jonathan?
Sie len ah David el siyuk, “Ya oasr mwet lula in sou lal Saul? Fin oasr, nga lungse fahkak kulang nu sel ke sripal Jonathan.”
2 Now there was of Saul's people a servant named Ziba, and they sent him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, I am.
Oasr sie mwet kulansap lal Saul, el pa Ziba, na fwackyang nu sel elan som nu yorol David. Ke el som, tokosra el siyuk, “Ku kom pa Ziba?” Na el topuk, “Aok, nga tupan enenu lom.”
3 And the king said, Is there anyone of Saul's family still living, to whom I may be a friend in God's name? And Ziba said, There is a son of Jonathan, whose feet are damaged.
Tokosra el siyuk sel, “Ku oasr mwet lula in sou lal Saul su nga ac ku in kasru ac fahkak kulang nu sel, oana nga tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD mu nga ac oru?” Ac Ziba el fahk, “Sie sin wen natul Jonathan el srakna moul, tuh el sukapasla.”
4 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, He is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
Na tokosra el siyuk, “El aya?” Ziba el fahk, “El oasr lohm sel Machir wen natul Ammiel, in acn Lodebar.”
5 Then King David sent, and had him taken from Lo-debar, from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel.
Ouinge Tokosra David el sapla solal.
6 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.
Ke Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan natul Saul, el tuku el srimi ye mutal David in akfulatyal. Na David el fahk, “Mephibosheth.” Ac el topuk, “Nga pa inge, nga tupan enenu lom.”
7 And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.
David el fahk, “Nikmet sangeng. Nga ac fah kulang nu sum ke sripal Jonathan, papa tomom. Nga fah folokonot acn nukewa lal Saul, papa matu tomom, ac pacl nukewa kom arulana sukosok in tuku nu ke tepu luk uh.”
8 And he went down on his face before the king, and said, What is your servant, for you to take note of a dead dog such as I am?
Mephibosheth el sifilpa srimi ac fahk, “Efu kom oru arulana wo nu sik, sruhk nga tia wo liki kosro ngalngul misa soko?”
9 Then the king sent for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All the property of Saul and of his family I have given to your master's son.
Na tokosra el pangnol Ziba, mwet kulansap lal Saul, ac fahk, “Nga ac folokonang ma nukewa lal Saul, leum lom, ac lun sou lal, nu sel Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul.
10 And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Kom, ac wen nutum ac mwet kulansap lom, ac fah imai acn inge nu sin sou lal Saul, leum lom. Kowos in orani fokin kosrani ac sang kitalos. Tusruktu Mephibosheth sifacna el ac fah sukosok nu ke tepu luk pacl nukewa.” (Oasr wen singoul limekosr natul Ziba, ac mwet kulansap longoul lal.)
11 Then Ziba said to the king, Every order which you have given to your servant will be done. As for Mephibosheth, he had a place at David's table, like one of the king's sons.
Na Ziba el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga fah oru ma nukewa ma kom sapkin.” Ouinge Mephibosheth el wi mongo ke tepu lun tokosra, oapana sie tulik nutin tokosra.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
Oasr sie wen fusr natul Mephibosheth pangpang Mica. Mwet nukewa in sou lal Ziba elos mwet kulansapla lal Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.
Ouinge Mephibosheth, su ulla nial kewa, el mutana Jerusalem ac mongo yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo nukewa.
