kagira nywenanywena mundiiremu olukwe? Mpaawo kadi moiza kwinywe eyankobeireku ati, omutaane wange akolere endagaano nʼomutaane wa Yese! Mpaawo kadi moiza kwinywe andumirwa, waire ankoberaku ngʼomutaane wange owaacooleserye omuweererya wange okuneeteegera, ngʼowaakolere olwatyanu!” 
Awo oDowegi oMwedomu, yabbaire ayemereire aawo nʼabaweererya ba Sawulo, nʼairamu ati, “Naboine omutaane wa Yese ngʼaiza e Nobbu eeri Akimereki omutaane wʼAkitubbu. 
Akimereki nʼamwebuuliryaku oMusengwa, era nʼamuwa ebyokulya, nʼamuwa nʼempiima eyabbaire eya Golyasi oMufirisuuti.” 
Awo okabaka nʼatumisya Akimereki okabona omutaane wʼAkitubbu, nʼabʼenyumba ya iteeye bonabona ababbaire abakabona e Nobbu era bonabona ni baaba eeri okabaka. 
OSawulo nʼakoba ati, “Owulisisye iwe omutaane wʼAkitubbu!” Nʼamwiramu ati, “Mpulisisya, musengwa wange.” 
OSawulo nʼamubuulya ati, “Lwaki iwe nʼomutaane wa Yese mundiiremu olukwe? Wamuwaire ekyokulya nʼempiima, nʼomwebuuliryaku oKibbumba, kaisi nʼanjeekera era nʼaneeteegera, ngʼowaakolere olwatyanu.” 
Akimereki nʼairamu okabaka ati, “Omu baweereryabo bonabona, naani omwesigwa ooti Dawudi? Era kabaka, naani afumbiirwe omwalawo, era omuduumiri wʼekibbula kyʼabakukuuma, era ogubakiraku okuwa ekitiisya omu lubirirwo? 
Ogwo niigwo omulundi ogusookere nze okumwebuuliryaku oKibbumba? Bbe, mazima tikiri kityo. Neye ekyʼokukulyamu olukwe oo kabaka, oleke okukiseegera ku nze omuweereryawo, ooba ogondi yenayena owʼomu nyumba ya bbaabba, olwʼokubba nze omuweereryawo, mbula ekimmaite naire oku nsonga eyo.” 
Neye era okabaka nʼakoba ati, “Akimereki, iwe nʼabʼenyumba ya iteewo bonabona, mazima mwafa.” 
Awo okabaka nʼalagira abakuumibe ababbaire beemereire e gyali ati, “Mwite abakabona ba Musengwa abo, olwʼokubba bona beegaitire nʼoDawudi. Era bamaite ngʼanjirukaku kaisi nandi ni bankobera.” Neye abakuumi abo aba kabaka ni bagaana okusiirya engalo gyabwe okwita abakabona ba Musengwa. 
Awo okabaka nʼalagira Dowegi ati, “Iwe oite abakabona abo.” ODowegi oMwedomu nʼaita abakabona. Oku lunaku olwo nʼaita abakabona 85, abazwala eitaawo eryʼobwakabona eryʼolugoye lwa lineni. 
OSawulo era nʼalagira ni baita abantu abandi bona abʼomu kibuga oNobbu, ekibuga kyʼabakabona ngʼotwaliiryemu abasaiza nʼabakali, nʼabaana abakuliremu nʼabayonka, era nʼente, nʼendogoyi, nʼentaama. 
Neye Abbiyasaali, omoiza oku bataane bʼAkimereki, era omwizukulu wʼAkitubbu nʼasodoka, nʼayaba ni yeegaita oku Dawudi. 
Abbiyasaali nʼakobera oDawudi ati, oSawulo aitire abakabona ba Musengwa. 
Awo oDawudi nʼakoba Abbiyasaali ati, “Owenaboine oDowegi oMwedomu omu kibuga oNobbu, namaite nti ateekwa okukobera oSawulo. Kale ensobi iyo yange abantu bʼenyumba ya iteewo okufa. 
Obbe aanu na nze, tiwaatya, olwʼokubba oyo akunoonia okukwita, zena annoonia okunjita. Owewaabba na nze, mpaawo eyakukwataku.”
