4 Yonatani+ umuhungu wa Sawuli yari afite umwana waremaye ibirenge.+ Igihe uwo mwana yari afite imyaka itanu, inkuru ya Sawuli na Yonatani yamenyekanye iturutse i Yezereli,+ maze uwamureraga aramuheka arahunga. Ariko kubera ko yirukaga afite igihunga, uwo mwana yikubise hasi aramugara. Uwo mwana yitwaga Mefibosheti.+

6 Mefibosheti mwene Yonatani umuhungu wa Sawuli ageze imbere ya Dawidi, ahita yikubita hasi yubamye.+ Dawidi aramuhamagara ati “Mefibosheti!” Undi arasubiza ati “umugaragu wawe ndi hano.”

24 Mefibosheti+ umwuzukuru wa Sawuli na we aramanuka aza gusanganira umwami; ntiyari yarigeze akaraba ibirenge+ cyangwa ngo yiyogoshe ubwanwa bwo hejuru y’umunwa,+ cyangwa ngo amese imyambaro ye uhereye igihe umwami yagendeye, kugeza kuri uwo munsi yari agarutse amahoro.
