25.
Atyanu ekiseera kyatuukire oSamwiri nʼafa era aBaisirairi bonabona ni bakumbaana aamo okumukunga, era ni bamuliika omu kisitokye e Laama. Oluzwanyuma lwʼekyo, oDawudi nʼasetuka nʼaserengeta okwaba omwidungu lyʼe Mawoni. 
E Mawoni wabbaireyo omusaiza, ngʼemirimogye agikolera Kalumeri. Omusaiza oyo yabbaire musuni ino, ngʼali nʼentaama 3,000, nʼembuli 1,000. Yabbaire ngʼasala ebyoya byʼentaamagye e Kalumeri. 
Eriina lyʼomusaiza oyo nga niiye oNabbali, kaisi omukaliwe nga niiye Abbigairi. Omukali oyo yabbaire mutegeeri era nga musiipoono. Neye oibaaye, eyabbaire owʼekika kya Kalebbu iye yabbaire mwimi era nga wʼempisa mbiibbi. 
Awo oDawudi oweyabbaire omwidungu, nʼawulira ati oNabbali ali kusala ebyoya oku ntaamagye. 
Nʼatuma abaisuka ikumi, nʼabakoba ati, “Muniinaniine mwabe e Kalumeri eeri oNabbali, mumunsugirirye. 
Era omu kumusugirya, mumunkobere muti, ‘Emirembe gibbe kwiwe, nʼoku bʼomu nyumbayo, nʼoku bintu byonabyona ebyoli nabyo.’ ” 
“ ‘Atyanu mpuliire nti bali kukusalira ebyoya oku ntaama. Abaliisyabo owebabbeereire na iswe, titwababityanga kubbikubbi. Era ekiseera kyonakyona ekibabbaire e Kalumeri, tiwabbairewo kintu kyabwe kadi kimo ekyabagotereku. 
Obuulyeku abaweereryabo, era bakukobera. Nʼolwekyo atyanu wena, okwatire abaisuka bange ekisa, olwʼokubba twaba kwingira omu lunaku lwʼembaga. Nkwegairiire, oweeku abaweereryabo abo ekintu kyonakyona ekiwayezya era ompeeku nanze omutaanewo oDawudi.’ ” 
Abaisuka ba Dawudi owebatuukireyo, ni bawa oNabbali obukwenda ngʼoDawudi oweyabatumire, era ni bakuumirira ekiyabairamu. 
ONabbali nʼairamu abaweererya ba Dawudi ati, “ODawudi niiye onaani? Omutaane wa Yese oyo niiye onaani? Omu biseera binu, waliwo abaweererya bangi abairukire oku basengwa baabwe. 
Ntoole ebisolo ebyenjitiire abakoli bange abasala ebyoya era ntoole nʼemigaati gyange, nʼamaizi gange, mbiwe bantu abentamaiteku e gibazwera?” 
Abaisuka ba Dawudi ni bacuuka ni bakanga, era owebatuukire ni bamukobera byonabyona ngʼowebibbaire. 
ODawudi nʼakoba abalwanibe ati, “Mwesibe nabuli moiza empiimaye!” Era nabuli moiza ni yeesiba empiimaye, nʼoDawudi yena ni yeesiba eiye. Era abalwani ooti 400 ni baniinaniina okwaba nʼoDawudi, kaisi 200 ni basigala okukuuma ebintu ebibakolesya. 
Awo omoiza oku baweererya ba Nabbali, nʼakoba Abbigairi omuka Nabbali ati, “ODawudi yatumire abakwenda abazwire egyali omwidungu okusugirya omusengwa waiswe, neye iye nʼabaduula-buduuli. 
Neye ate ngʼabasaiza abo batubitirye nakusani ino era mpaawo kabbikabbi akatutuukireku. Era owetwabbeereire nabo omu kigona mpaawo kintu kadi kimo ekyatugotereku. 
Babbaire ooti kikomera egyetuli okutukuumanga omusana nʼobwire eibbanga lyonalyona eritwabbaire nabo nga tuliisya entaama. 
Nʼolwekyo atyanu omanye ekintu ekyo era osalewo ekyoli nʼokukola, olwʼokubba bamaliriire okukola akabbikabbi oku musengwa waiswe oyo nʼoku bʼomu nyumbaye bonabona. ONabbali oyo musaiza wʼempisa mbiibbi, era mpaawo ogwayezya okuwulisisya.” 
Abbigairi nʼayanguwa nʼakwata emigaati 200, nʼebisawo bibiri ebyʼamadiba ebiizwire enviinyo, nʼentaama itaanu egibabbaagiire nakimo, nʼekiro aabiri egyʼengaano ensiike, nʼemuuma enkalu 100 egyʼemizabbibbu emikamulemu omubisi, nʼemuuma egindi 200 egyʼemitiini, nʼabitiika oku ndogoyi. 
Nʼakoba abaweereryabe ati, “Aale musimbuke mwabenge zena njiza.” Neye nandi nʼakoberaku oNabbali oibaaye. 
Awo Abbigairi oweyabbaire oku ndogoyi, ngʼayaba okugeda eikoona oku lusozi, nʼabona oDawudi nʼabalwanibe nga baserengeta okulungama e gyali era nʼabasangaana. 
ODawudi yabbaire amalire okukoba ati, “Mazima nakuumiire bwereere ebintu byʼomusaiza oyo byonabyona, ebyabbaire omwidungu, nandi ni kigotaku waire kimo. Kale iye ansaswiremu bibbibibbi omu bisa ebinamukoleire. 
Nze oDawudi, oMusengwa ambonerezanga nʼobukambwe, singa kwaca nga nkaali okwita okumalawo abasaiza ba Nabbali.” 
Awo Abbigairi oweyaboine oDawudi, nʼayanguwa okuzwa oku ndogoyiwe, nʼafuunama nʼaica empumi ansi okwitakali omumaiso ga Dawudi. 
Nʼagwa aabigere bya Dawudi, kaisi nʼakoba ati, “Musengwa wange, omusango ogwo gubbe ku ninze zenkani. Nakwegairiire onganye nze omuweereryawo ntumuleku na iwe; owulire nze omuweereryawo ekinkoba. 
Nkwegairiire musengwa wange, tiwaafa oku kisaiza ekinambulamu ekyo eKinabbali, olwʼokubba ngʼeriinalye oweriri, era atyo bwali. Eriinalye niiye oNabbali, era alimu obusirusiru. Neye nze omuweereryawo, tinaboineku abaweereryabo iwe musengwa wange abewatumire.” 
“Atyanu musengwa wange, oMusengwa akulamirye okusuka omusaaye, na iwe onanyere okunyaaŋa. Kale, oMusengwa ngʼobwali mwomi, era wena ngʼobwoli omwomi, abalabebo aale atyanu abataka okukukolaku akabbikabbi iwe musengwa wange, basune ekibonerezo ooti Nabbali. 
Era atyanu musengwa wange, ekirabo kinu nze omuweereryawo ekinkuleeteire, bakiweeku nʼabaweereryabo abooli nabo aawo. 
Nakwegairiire, osoniye ensobi yange nze omuweereryawo. Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba oMusengwa tiyalireka okukuwa iwe omusengwa wange okubba kabaka era nʼeibyaireryo okuzwangamu abakabaka emirembe gyonagyona, olwʼokubba olwana entalo gya Musengwa. Era obwomibwo bwonabwona, tiwaabbangakuumu ensobi yonayona. 
Singa wabbaangawo akuyiiga okukwita, oMusengwa iye oKibbumbawo yakuumanga obwomibwo nakusani. Neye obwomi bwʼabalabebo oMusengwa yalibukasuka eedi ooti muntu akasuka amabbaale okuzwa omu nvuumuulo. 
Era oMusengwa oweyalimala okukukolera ebisa byonabyona ebiyakusuubizire iwe musengwa wange, nʼakulonda okubba kabaka wa Isirairi, 
olwo musengwa wange, tiwawulire omusango omu mwoyogwo olwʼokusuka omusaaye ogunambulaku ensonga, ooba olwʼokunyaaŋa. Era oMusengwa oweyalikuwa iwe musengwa wange enkabi, kale onjebukiryanga nze omuweereryawo.” 
ODawudi nʼakoba Abbigairi ati, “OMusengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi akutumire olwatyanu okunsisinkana, bamuwuujenge. 
Era wena oKibbumba akuwe nkabi olwʼamalabukigo nʼolwʼokundamya okusuka omusaaye olwatyanu nʼolwʼokundamya nze onanyere okunyaaŋa. 
Mazima oMusengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi ngʼobwali mwomi, oKibbumba oyo iye angaine okukukolaku akabbikabbi, singa nandi nʼoyanguwaku nʼoiza okunsisinkana, bwandiceire ngʼoNabbali abulaku omuntu omwomi ogwasigairyewo.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼaikirirya Abbigairi ebyʼamutwaliire, era nʼamukoba ati, “Okange mwidembe eika e wuwo. Mpuliire ebyonkobere, era njikiriirye okusabakwo.” 
Abbigairi nʼakanga eeri oNabbali. ONabbali yabbaire asumbire embaga nene eika e wuwe, era nga nene ooti ya kabaka. Yabbaire ateemeire ino era nga musangaali ino. Kale Abbigairi nandi nʼamukoberaku ekintu kyonakyona paka owebwaceire. 
Awo eizo amakeezi oNabbali enviinyo nga gimuwoire oku mutwe, Abbigairi nʼamukobera ebintu ebyo byonabyona oDawudi ebiyatumwire. Era ositulooko nʼakubba oNabbali nʼakalanguka ooti ibbaale. 
Owewabitirewo enaku ikumi, oMusengwa nʼatoolawo obwomi bwa Nabbali. 
ODawudi oweyawuliire ngʼoNabbali afiire, nʼakoba ati, “OMusengwa bamwebalye, anyaaŋire oNabbali eyanzumire, era eyangaine nze omuweereryawe okukola ekibbikibbi. OMusengwa abonerezere oNabbali olwʼekibbikibbikye.” Awo oDawudi nʼatumira Abbigairi obukwenda ngʼamusaba okumufumbirwa. 
Abaweererya ba Dawudi ni baaba eeri Abbigairi e Kalumeri, ni bamukoba bati, “ODawudi atutumire e gyoli, tukutwale obbe mukaliwe.” 
Awo Abbigairi nʼasetuka era nʼafuunama nʼaica empumi ansi okwitakali, nʼakoba ati, “Ngonu omuweereryawo, neetegekere okunaabyanga ebigere byʼabaweererya ba musengwa wange.” 
Awo Abbigairi nʼayanguwa okwetegeka, nʼaniina ondogoyi. Nʼayaba nʼabaweererya ba Dawudi, nʼabaweereryabe abakali bataanu nga bamwerekera. Abbigairi nʼasuuka muka Dawudi. 
ODawudi yabbaire afumbiirwe Akinowamu owʼe Yezireeri, bombi ni babba bakalibe. 
Ebyo nga biri awo, oSawulo yabbaire agabire omwalawe oMikali, eyabbaire omuka Dawudi, ngʼamuwaire oPaluti omutaane wa Laisi, owʼe Gaalimu.
