1 M arkaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, War reerkii Saa'uul wax ka hadhay ma jiraan, aan Yoonaataan aawadiis ugu roonaadee?

Then David said, “Is there anyone left of the family of Saul, to whom I may show kindness because of Jonathan?”

2 R eerkii Saa'uulna waxaa halkaas ka joogay addoon magiciisa la yidhaahdo Siibaa, oo isagii bay Daa'uud ugu yeedheen. Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma Siibaad baad tahay? Oo isna ku yidhi, Haah, waan ahay anoo addoonkaaga ah.

Now there was a servant in Saul’s house whose name was Ziba. They called him to David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.”

3 M arkaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Miyaan reerkii Saa'uul wax ka hadhin aan Ilaah aawadiis ugu roonaadee? Siibaana wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Waxaa ka hadhay wiil Yoonaataan dhalay, oo curyaan ah.

The king said, “Is there not still someone of the family of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who cannot walk because of his feet.”

4 K olkaasaa boqorkii isagii ku yidhi, Xaggee buu joogaa? Siibaana wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Wuxuu joogaa guriga Maakiir oo ah ina Cammii'eel ee deggan Loo Debaar.

So the king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba answered the king, “See, he is in the family of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.”

5 M arkaasaa Boqor Daa'uud u cid diray, oo ka soo kexeeyey gurigii Maakiir oo ahaa ina Cammii'eel, oo ku yiil Loo Debaar.

Then King David sent men to bring him from the family of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

6 D abadeedna waxaa Daa'uud u yimid Mefiiboshed, oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan, ina Saa'uul, oo intuu wejiga u dhacay ayuu u sujuuday. Kolkaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, War Mefiiboshedow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Way kan anoo addoonkaaga ah.

Mephibosheth the son of Saul’s son Jonathan came to David and fell on his face to the ground in respect. David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he answered, “Here is your servant!”

7 M arkaasaa Daa'uud isagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, waayo, xaqiiqa waxaan kuugu roonaan doonaa aabbahaa Yoonaataan aawadiis, oo weliba waxaan kuu celin doonaa dhulkii awowgaa Saa'uul oo dhan; oo miiskaygana had iyo goor wax baad ka cuni doontaa.

David said to him, “Do not be afraid. For I will be sure to show kindness to you because of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land of your grandfather Saul. And you will eat at my table always.”

8 O o isna intuu u sujuuday ayuu ku yidhi, Bal maxaad igu aragtay anigoo u eg eey dhintay, anoo addoonkaaga ahna maxaan ahay?

Again Mephibosheth put his face to the ground and said, “Who am I? Why should you care for a dead dog like me?”

9 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu u yeedhay Siibaa, oo ahaa Saa'uul midiidinkiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kulli wixii Saa'uul lahaa iyo wax alla wixii reerkiisu lahaa oo dhan waxaan siiyey wiilkii sayidkaaga.

Then the king called Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your owner’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and his family.

10 H addaba waa inaad dhulka u fashaan isaga, adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo addoommadaaduba, oo midhahana waa inaad gudaha soo gelisaa si uu sayidkaaga wiilkiisu u helo wax uu cuno, laakiinse sayidkaaga wiilkiisa Mefiiboshed ahu mar kasta wax buu ka cuni doonaa miiskayga. Haddaba Siibaa wuxuu lahaa shan iyo toban wiil iyo labaatan addoon.

You and your sons and your servants will grow food on the land for him. You will bring in the food so your owner’s grandson may eat. But Mephibosheth your owner’s grandson will always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 M arkaasaa Siibaa wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Wax alla wixii adoo ah boqorka sayidkayga aad igu amarto anoo addoonkaaga ah, ayaan u yeelayaa. Oo boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Mefiiboshed wuxuu wax ka cuni doonaa miiskayga sidii mid boqorka wiilashiisa ka mid ah.

Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all that my lord the king tells your servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table as one of the king’s sons.

12 O o Mefiiboshedna wuxuu lahaa wiil yar, oo magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Miikaa. Intii Siibaa gurigiisa joogtay oo dhammu addoommay Mefiiboshed u ahaayeen.

Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba’s house were Mephibosheth’s servants.

13 M efiiboshedna wuxuu degganaa Yeruusaalem, waayo, wuxuu had iyo goor wax ka cuni jiray miiskii boqorka, oo labada cagoodna curyaan buu ka ahaa.

So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he always ate at the king’s table. Both his feet had been hurt and he could not walk.
