10 Asaa taybidaape guye, Dawita wozanay hirgin, Dawiti, “Taani ha oosuwan gita nagara oothas. Shin ha77i abeeti Godaw, taani nena woossayis; ta nagaraa, ne aylliya nagaraa atto ga. Taani daro boozaba hanas” yaagis.

11 Wontetha gallas Dawiti hiixape dendiya wode Dawitas qoncethi be7iya, nabiya Gaadeko Godaa qaalay yis. 12 “Bada, Dawitako, ‘Taani nena heedzubaape issuwa doorana mela bessayis; taani ne bolla polanaw entafe issuwa doora’ yaagees Goday” yaagis.

13 Gaadi Dawitako bidi, “Heedzu laythi ne biitta bolla kosha ehoyee? Woyko ne morketi nena yedethin, heedzu ageena enta sinthafe baqataneyee? Woyko ne biitta bolla heedzu gallas gadoy yaanaysa dooray? Ane ha77i qopada taani tana kiittidaysas zaaranaba oda” yaagis.

14 Dawiti Gaadeko, “Taani daro un7etas. Godaa maarotay gita gidiya gisho, nuuni iya kushen kundana; tana asa kushen yeggofo” yaagis.

15 Hessa gisho, wontafe bidi I gida gallasay gakanaw Goday Isra7eele biittan gado kiittis.

17 Asaa shociya kiitanchuwa Dawiti be7ida wode Godaako, “Nagaraa oothiday tana; ta balas! Ha dorsati ay oothidona? Hayyana, tananne ta aawa soo asaa ne seerana mela taani woossayis” yaagis.

18 He gallas Gaadi Dawitako yidi, “Bada, Yaabuse addiya Orna wudumman Godaas yarsho bessi giigisa” yaagis. 19 Dawiti, Goday Gaade baggara kiittidaysada oothanaw pude bis. 20 Orni duge xeelliya wode, kawoynne iya asati baako yeysa be7is. I gaxa keyidi, gufannidi kawas ziggis.

21 Orni, “Ta goday kawoy ba aylliyako, ayis yidee?” yaagis.

Dawiti, “Asaa bollafe gadoy simmana mela taani Godaas yarsho bessi giigisanaw ne wudumma shammanaw yas” yaagis.

22 Orni, “Ta goday, kawoy ba koydaba ekidi yarsho! Xuussa yarshos boorati de7oosona; eeso mithas qassi kathi bukiya miisheynne boora qambari de7ees. 23 Kawaw, haysa ubbaa Orni kawas immis” yaagis. Gujidi Orni, “Goday ne Xoossay ne yarshuwa eko” yaagis.

24 Shin kawoy, “Akay, taani ta miishen shammana. Ta Godaa, Xoossaas xuussa yarsho gatey bayna yarshike” yaagis.

Hessa gisho, kawoy wudummaanne boorata Ornafe ishatamu bira santimen shammis. 25 Dawiti he bessan yarsho bessi giigisidi xuussa yarshonne issifetetha yarsho Godaas yarshis. Goday biitta gisho woosetida woosa si7idi, gaduwa Isra7eelepe diggis.
