2 Samuel 9

1 David said, "Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

Da bi, Dawid pɛɛ sɛ obehu sɛ obi aka wɔ Saulo fi ana. Efisɛ na wahyɛ Yonatan bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn adɔe.

2 There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "Your servant is he."

Ɔfrɛɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Siba a na anka ɔfra Saulo asomfo mu. Na ɔhene bisaa no se, “Wo na wɔfrɛ wo Siba no ana?” Obuaa no se, “Yiw, me ne Siba no.”

3 The king said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?" Ziba said to the king, "Jonathan has yet a son, who is lame of his feet."

Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Obi aka wɔ Saulo fi ana? Sɛ ɛte saa a mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ wɔn adɔe a efi Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔkwan biara a metumi so.” Siba buaa ɔhene se, “Yonatan babarima obubuafo bi da so wɔ hɔ.”

4 The king said to him, "Where is he?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar."

Ɔhene bisae se, “Ɔwɔ he?” Siba buae se, “Ɔwɔ Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar.”

5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Makir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.

Na ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔfaa no fii Amiel babarima Makir fi wɔ Lo-debar, de no brɛɛ no.

6 Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face, and showed respect. David said, "Mippibaal." He answered, "Look, your servant."

Ne din de Mefiboset, a ɔyɛ Yonatan babarima ne Saulo nena. Ɔbaa Dawid anim no, ɔde ahopopo kotow no, kae se, “Meyɛ wo somfo.”

7 And David said to him, "Do not be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather. You shall eat bread at my table continually."

Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro, na nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no, esiane wʼagya Yonatan nti, mɛyɛ wo adɔe. Nsase a na ɛyɛ wo nena Saulo agyapade no nyinaa, mɛsan de ama wo, na woadidi me didipon so daa daa.”

8 He bowed down, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look on such a dead dog as I am?"

Mefiboset bɔɔ ne mu ase kae se, “Hena ne me, ɔkraman funu a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ me saa adɔe yi?”

9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to your master's son.

Ɔhene frɛɛ ne somfo Siba, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mede biribiara a na ɛyɛ Saulo ne ne fifo agyapade no nyinaa ama wo wura Saulo nenabarima no.

10 You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants, and you shall bring food into your master's house that they may eat. But Mippibaal your master's son shall eat bread always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

Wo ne wo mmabarima ne mo asomfo na mobɛdɔw asase no, ayɛ so mfuw ama no, na wanya aduan ama ne fifo. Na Mefiboset de, ɔne me bɛtena mʼahemfi ha.” Na Siba a na ɔwɔ mmabarima dunum ne asomfo aduonu no buae se,

11 Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant shall do." So Mippibaal ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.

“Me wura pa, asɛm a woaka akyerɛ me no nyinaa, medi so.” Na efi saa bere no, Mefiboset ne Dawid didii daa te sɛnea ɔyɛ nʼasen mu ba.

12 Mippibaal had a young son, whose name was Micah. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mippibaal.

Na Mefiboset wɔ ɔba abarimaa bi a ne din de Mika. Na efi saa bere no, Siba fifo nyinaa bɛyɛɛ Mefiboset asomfo.

13 So Mippibaal lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.

Na Mefiboset a ɔyɛ obubuafo no tu kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔtenaa ahemfi hɔ.
