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

¹And David saith, `Is there yet any left to the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?`

²Reerkii 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.

²And the house of Saul hath a servant, and his name [is] Ziba, and they call for him unto David; and the king saith unto him, `Art thou Ziba?` and he saith, `Thy servant.`

³Markaasaa 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.

³And the king saith, `Is there not yet a man to the house of Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?` And Ziba saith unto the king, `Jonathan hath yet a son — lame.`

⁴Kolkaasaa 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.

⁴And the king saith to him, `Where [is] he?` and Ziba saith unto the king, `Lo, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, in Lo-Debar.`

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

⁵And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-Debar,

⁶Dabadeedna 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.

⁶and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, cometh unto David, and falleth on his face, and doth obeisance, and David saith, `Mephibosheth;` and he saith, `Lo, thy servant.`

⁷Markaasaa 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.

⁷And David saith to him, `Be not afraid; for I certainly do with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou dost eat bread at my table continually.`

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

⁸And he boweth himself, and saith, `What [is] thy servant, that thou hast turned unto the dead dog — such as I?`

⁹Markaasaa 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.

⁹And the king calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith unto him, `All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of thy lord,

¹⁰Haddaba 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.

¹⁰and thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons, and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my table;` and Ziba hath fifteen sons and twenty servants.

¹¹Markaasaa 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.

¹¹And Ziba saith unto the king, `According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so doth thy servant;` as to Mephibosheth, `he is eating at my table ([saith the king]) as one of the sons of the king.`

¹²Oo Mefiiboshedna wuxuu lahaa wiil yar, oo magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Miikaa. Intii Siibaa gurigiisa joogtay oo dhammu addoommay Mefiiboshed u ahaayeen.Mefiiboshedna wuxuu degganaa Yeruusaalem, waayo, wuxuu had iyo goor wax ka cuni jiray miiskii boqorka, oo labada cagoodna curyaan buu ka ahaa.

¹²And Mephibosheth hath a young son, and his name [is] Micha, and every one dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to Mephibosheth.

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

¹³And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for at the table of the king he is eating continually, and he [is] lame of his two feet.
