OMusengwa nʼakoba oSamwiri ati, “Walituuca di okunakuwala olwa Sawulo, nga nze mmalire okumugaana okubba kabaka wa Isirairi? Oizulye eizigalyo amafuta, oize nkutume e wa Yese owʼe Bbeserekeemu, nnondere omoiza oku bataanebe okubba kabaka.” 
Neye oSamwiri nʼamukoba ati, “Mpezya ntya okwaba? OSawulo oweyakiwulira, yanjita!” OMusengwa nʼamukoba ati, “Wayaba nʼompaki, kaisi nʼokoba oSawulo oti, ‘Njizire kuwaayo sadaaka eeri Musengwa.’ 
Awo wayeta oYese ngʼowaayo esadaaka eyo, era nze nakulaga ekyokukola. Wansukira amafuta kwoyo, ogunakulaga.” 
Awo oSamwiri nʼakola ekyo oMusengwa ekiyamukobere. Oweyatuukire e Bbeserekeemu, abeekubbemberi bʼekibuga ni baaba okumusangaana nga batukuta, ni bamubuulya bati, “Oizire mu busa?” 
OSamwiri nʼairamu ati, “Ee, njizire mu busa. Njizire kuwaayo sadaaka eeri Musengwa. Mwetukulye mwize twabe tuweeyo esadaaka nago.” Awo nʼawonga oYese nʼabataanebe omumaiso ga Musengwa, nʼabeeta ni baaba naye okuwaayo esadaaka nago. 
Awo oYese nʼabataanebe owebatuukire, oSamwiri nʼalingirira Eryabbu, nʼaseega ati, “Onu ayemereire omumaiso ga Musengwa, mazima niiye oMusengwa ogwalondere mmusukeku amafuta.” 
Neye oMusengwa nʼakoba oSamwiri ati, “Tiwalingirira mbonekaye, waire obuwanvubwe, olwʼokubba oyo nze mmugaine. Nze oMusengwa okubona kwange tikuli ngʼokwʼabantu. Abantu balingirira mboneka yʼokungulu, neye nze nningirira kiidi ekiri omu mwoyo.” 
Awo oYese nʼayeta Abbinadabbu, nʼamubitya omumaiso ga Samwiri. OSamwiri nʼakoba ati, “Era nʼoyo oMusengwa nandi nʼamulonda.” 
Awo oYese nʼabityawo oSaama. OSamwiri nʼakoba ati, “Era nʼoyo yena oMusengwa nandi nʼamulonda.” 
OYese nʼabitya abataanebe omusanvu omumaiso ga Samwiri. Neye era oSamwiri nʼakoba oYese ati, “Kwabo mpaaku oKibbumba ogwalondere.” 
OSamwiri nʼabuulya oYese ati, “Abataanebo bonabona niibo banu?” OYese nʼairamu ati, “Wasigaireyo onankoma, ali eeyo aliisya entaama.” OSamwiri nʼamukoba ati, “Otume bamuleete. Titwatyame paka ngʼaizire aanu.” 
Awo oYese nʼamutumisya, ni bamuleeta. Yabbaire aboneka kusani era nga muŋoono. OMusengwa nʼakoba oSamwiri ati, “Aale omusukeku amafuta, olwʼokubba niiye oyo.” 
Awo oSamwiri olwo kaisi nʼakwata eiziga lya mafuta, nʼamusukaku amafuta abagandabe nga babona. OMwoyo wa Musengwa nʼaika oku Dawudi nʼamaani, era oMwoyo oyo nʼabbanga naye okuzwa oku lunaku olwo. Awo oSamwiri nʼasetuka nʼakanga e Laama. 
Awo oMwoyo wa Musengwa nʼazwa oku Sawulo, omwoyo omubbimubbi oMusengwa oguyasindikire, ni gutandiika okumugadyanga. 
Abaweererya ba Sawulo ni bamukoba bati, “Omwoyo omubbimubbi oKibbumba oguyasindikire ngugwo gukugadya. 
Kale atyanu iwe musengwa waiswe, otuwe ekiragiro iswe abaweereryabo otuliwo, tunoonie omuntu omukugu omu kukubba otongoli. Awo omwoyo ogwo omubbimubbi oKibbumba oguyasindikire owegwakubandanga, omuntu oyo yakubbanga otongoli, era nʼobba kusani.” 
OSawulo nʼalagira abaweereryabe ati, “Munsunire omuntu ayezya okukubba nakusani otongoli, mumundeetere.” 
Awo omoiza oku baweereryabe nʼairamu ati, “Nze naboineyo omutaane wa Yese oMubbeserekeemu, omukugu omu kukubba otongoli, owʼamaani era omulwani omuzira, omutumuli omusa, ate era aboneka kusani. Era oMusengwa ali aamo naye.” 
Awo oSawulo nʼatumira oYese abakwenda ngʼakoba ati, “Ompeererye oDawudi omutaanewo omuliisya wʼentaama.” 
OYese nʼakwata endogoyi, nʼagitiika emigaati, nʼomwana wa mbuli, nʼekisawo kyʼeidiba ekirimu enviinyo, nʼabikwatisya omutaanewe oDawudi, abitwalire oSawulo. 
ODawudi nʼayaba e wa Sawulo, nʼatandiika okumuweererya. OSawulo nʼamutaka ino, era nʼamulonda amukwatirenge ebyokulwanisyabye. 
OSawulo nʼatuma obukwenda eeri oYese ngʼakoba ati, “ODawudi omwikirirye abbenge eenu, ngʼampeererya, olwʼokubba mmusiimire ino.” 
Nabuli omwoyo omubbimubbi oKibbumba oguyasindikanga owegwabandanga oSawulo, awo ngʼoDawudi akubba otongoli; awo kaisi omwoyo omubbimubbi ni guzwa oku Sawulo nʼaikaikana, era nʼabba nakusani.
