2 Samuel 9

1 And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan’s sake?

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.

2 Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant.

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.”

3 And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet.

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.”

4 Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar.

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.”

5 Then king David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar.

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

6 And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant.

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!”

7 And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always.

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.”

8 He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?

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

9 Then the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master’s son.

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.

10 Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master’s son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

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.)

11 And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the king hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the king.

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.”

12 And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all the kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth.

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.

13 But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king’s table: and he was lame of both feet.

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