2 Samueli 9
1 Davide anafunsa kuti, “Kodi alipo amene watsala mʼbanja la Sauli kuti ndimuchitire chifundo chifukwa cha Yonatani?”
And Dauid seide, Whether ony man is, that lefte of the hows of Saul, that Y do mercy with hym for Jonathas?
2 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.”
Forsothe a seruaunt, Siba bi name, was of the hous of Saul; whom whanne the kyng hadde clepid to hym silf, `the kyng seide to hym, Whethir thou art not Siba? And he answeride, Y am thi seruaunt.
3 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.”
And the kyng seide, Whether ony man lyueth of the hows of Saul, that Y do with hym the mercy of God? And Siba seide to the kyng, A sone of Jonathas lyueth, feble in the feet.
4 Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti?” Ziba anayankha kuti, “Iye ali ku nyumba ya Makiri mwana wa Amieli ku Lodebara.”
The kyng seide, Where is he? And Siba seide to the kyng, Lo! he is in the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, in Lodabar.
5 Kotero mfumu inamubweretsa kuchokera ku Lodebara, ku nyumba ya Makiri mwana wa Amieli.
Therfor `Dauid the kyng sente, and took hym fro the hows of Machir, sone of Amyel, fro Lodobar.
6 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.”
Forsothe whanne Myphibosech, the sone of Jonathas, sone of Saul, hadde come to Dauid, he felde in to his face, and worschipide. And Dauid seide, Myphibosech! Which answeride, Y am present, thi seruaunt.
7 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.”
And Dauid seide to hym, Drede thou not, for Y doynge schal do mersi to thee for Jonathas, thi fadir; and Y schal restore to thee alle the feeldis of Saul, thi fadir, and thou schalt ete breed in my boord euere.
8 Mefiboseti anawerama pansi ndipo anati, “Mtumiki wanu ndine yani kuti musamale galu wakufa ngati ine?”
Which worschipide him, and seide, Who am Y, thi seruaunt, for thou hast biholde on a deed dogge lijk me?
9 Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa Ziba, mtumiki wa Sauli, ndipo anati, “Ine ndapereka kwa chidzukulu cha mbuye wako chilichonse chimene chinali cha Sauli ndi banja lake.
Therfor the kyng clepide Siba, the child of Saul; and seide to hym, Y haue youe to the sone of thi lord alle thingis, which euer weren of Saul, and al the hows of hym;
10 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).
therfor worche thou the lond to hym, thou, and thi sones, and thi seruauntis, and thou schalt brynge in meetis to the sone of thi lord, that he be fed; forsothe Myphibosech, sone of thi lord, schal ete euer breed on my bord. Sotheli fiftene sones and twenti seruauntis weren to Siba.
11 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.
And Siba seyde to the kyng, As thou, my lord kyng, hast comaundid to thi seruaunt, so thi seruaunt schal do; and Myphibosech, as oon of the sones of the kyng, schal ete on thi boord.
12 Mefiboseti anali ndi mwana wamngʼono wamwamuna wotchedwa Mika, ndipo onse a banja la Ziba anali antchito a Mefiboseti.
Forsothe Myphibosech hadde a litil sone, Mycha bi name; sotheli al the meyne of the hows of Siba seruyde Myphibosech.
13 Ndipo Mefiboseti anakhala mu Yerusalemu chifukwa nthawi zonse amadya ndi mfumu. Iye anali wolumala mapazi ake onse.
Forsothe Myphibosech dwellide in Jerusalem; for he eet contynueli of the kingis boord, and was crokid on either foot.
