1 Awo oDawudi nʼayaba e Nobbu eeri Akimereki okabona. Akimereki nʼazwayo okumusisinkana ngʼatukuta era nʼabuulya oDawudi ati, “Lwaki ooli wenkani? Lwaki oizire wenkani?”+
2 ODawudi nʼairamu Akimereki okabona ati, “Okabaka ali nʼekyantumire okukola, era nʼankoba ati, ‘Tiwaabbaaku omuntu kadi moiza ogwomanyikisya kwekyo ekyenkutuma, waire ekyenkulagiire.’ Abalwani bange ndi nʼowembalagiire okunjajirya. 3 Atyanu olwo niki ekyolikuuwo nakyo? Ompeeku emigaati mitaanu, ooba ekyokulya ekindi kyonakyona ekyolikuuwo nakyo.”
4 Neye okabona nʼairamu oDawudi ati, “Mbulaku emigaati egya bulijo, omugaati omuwonge niigwo oguliwo. Oyezya okugutwala, abalwanibo owebabba nga nandi ni beegaita nʼabakali.”
5 ODawudi nʼairamu okabona ati, “Mazima nandi ni twegaita nʼabakali. Abalwani bange timbaganya okukola ekyo owetubba nga waliwo ekitwaba okukola. Bali nʼokubba batukulye omumaiso ga Musengwa nʼowetubba nga waliwo ekitwaba okukola ekya bulijo, neye bati leero ku lunu owetuli kwabira okukola ekyʼenjawulo.” 6 Kale okabona nʼawa oDawudi omugaati omuwonge, olwʼokubba tiwabbairewo emigaati egindi okutoolaku ogwo ogubabbaire bawongereyo eeri oKibbumba. Omugaati ogwo niigwo ogubabbaire bamalire okutoola omumaiso ga Musengwa, era oku lunaku olwo, nga bateekereyo gundi ogubabbaire bankusumba.+
7 Oku lunaku olwo, wabbairewo omoiza oku baweererya ba Sawulo, eyabbaire nʼekimusigalisirye omumaiso ga Musengwa. Eriinalye Dowegi owʼomu kyalo kyʼEdomu, era nga niiye omukulu wʼabaliisya ba Sawulo.
8 ODawudi nʼabuulya Akimereki ati, “Olikuuwo nʼeisimo, ooba empiima? Nandi ni njiza nʼempiima yange, waire ebyokulwanisya byange ebindi, olwʼokubba okabaka ekyatakire nkole kibbaire kya mangu.”
9 Okabona nʼakoba ati, “Empiima ya Golyasi oMufirisuuti, oguwaitiire omu kiinamo ekibeeta Era, niiyo eriwo. Eri nyuma wʼeitaawo eryʼobwakabona, mbiringe omu lugoye. Owoobba otaka okutwala eyo, ogitwale, olwʼokubba mpaawo egendi, okutoolaku eyo.”+
ODawudi nʼakoba ati, “Ogimpe; nti mpaawo gendi ensa ooti yeeyo.”
10 Awo oDawudi nʼasetuka oku lunaku olwo, nʼairuka oSawulo, nʼayaba eeri Akisi okabaka wʼe Gaasi. 11 Abaweererya bʼAkisi ni bamukoba bati, “Onu tiniiye oDawudi okabaka wʼekyalokye? Tiniiye oyo ogubemba nga webabina, nga bakoba bati,”
“ ‘OSawulo aitire enkumigye,
nʼoDawudi nʼaitira emitwalogye!’ ”+
12 ODawudi nʼaseega oku bibono ebyo, nʼatya ino Akisi, okabaka wʼe Gaasi.+ 13 Awo ni yeesuuca ooti mulalu omumaiso gaabwe; era owebabbaire bamukwaite, ni yeekolesyakolesya ooti kasiru era nʼawaalawaala oku geeti yʼolubiri, nʼokusulula oluta nga lulandira omu kirevukye.+
14 Awo Akisi nʼakoba abaweereryabe ati, “Inywe timubona omusaiza onu nga mulalu! Lwaki mumuleetere e gyendi? 15 Museega muti ndambire balalu, kaisi mundeetere ekisaiza kinu, okwebitya kiti omumaiso gange? Ekisaiza kinu kituukana okwiza omu lubiri lwange?”
