Lwabbaire lumo, oYonasani omutaane wa Sawulo nʼakoba omwisuka eyamukwatiranga ebyokulwanisyabye ati, “Oize tusalemu ekiinamo twabe oku lubba ludi oku nkambi yʼaBafirisuuti.” Neye oYonasani tiyakobereiku oiteeye. 
OSawulo yabbaire kumbale mbale kwʼekibuga oGibbeya, ansi wʼomusaale onkomamawanga ogwabbaire e Miguloni. Yabbaire nʼabalwani ooti 600, 
mwabo nga mulimu Akiya eyabbaire azwaire eitaawo eryʼobwakabona era nga mutaane wʼAkitubbu, omuganda wa Yikabbodi. Akitubbu yabbaire mutaane wa Fenekansi, oFenekansi omutaane wʼEri, Eri eyabbaire okabona wa Musengwa e Siiro. Mpawo muntu eyamanyicirye ngʼoYonasani azwirewo. 
Oku mba gyombi egyʼekikuubo kwabbaireku ekitempe kyʼolusozi olugulumali. Ekikuubo ekyo oYonasani kiyabbaire agenderera okusalamu okutuuka oku nkambi yʼaBafirisuuti. Olubba olumo olwʼolusozi olwo nga balweta Bbozezi, nʼolundi nga balweta Sene. 
Olubba olumo lwabbaire mambuka okulungama e Mikumasi, kaisi olundi nga luli e maserengeta e Gebba. 
OYonasani nʼakoba omwisuka eyamukwatiranga ebyokulwanisyabye ati, “Oize tusalemu awo twabe oku nkambi eyʼabatali bakomole abo. Amo-so oMusengwa nʼatukolera, olwʼokubba mpaawo ekikaisya oMusengwa okununula abantu ngʼakolesya abangi ooba abatono.” 
Eyamukwatiranga ebyokulwanisyabye nʼamukoba ati, “Okole ekikuli oku mwoyo. Oyabe omumaiso, nze nʼomwoyo gwange gwonagwona ndi aamo na iwe.” 
OYonasani nʼairamu ati, “Kale, aale oize twabe tusalemu awo tulungame abalwani nago e gibali tubeebonekesye. 
Owebatukoba bati, ‘Mubbe eeyo, paka owetwaiza egyemuli,’ olwo twasigala e gitwabba, nandi ni tuniinaniina okwaba e gibali. 
Neye owebatukoba bati, ‘Muniinaniine mwize e gituli,’ awo twaniinaniinayo, olwʼokubba ako kaabba kamanyiciryo akatulaga kati, oMusengwa abatuwaire omu bwezye bwaiswe.” 
Awo bombi ni baaba beebonekesya eeri abalwani bʼaBafirisuuti ababbaire omu nkambi. ABafirisuuti ni bakoba bati, “Mubone! ABeebbulaniya bali kuzwa omu biina omu babbaire beebisire!” 
Abalwani ababbaire omu nkambi ni baasyamikira oYonasani nʼomukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye bati, “Mwize eenu e gituli kaisi tubalage enkola.” OYonasani nʼakoba omukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye ati, “Oize onsengererye tuniinaniineyo, olwʼokubba oMusengwa abawaireyo omu bwezye bwaiswe aBaisirairi.” 
Awo oYonasani nʼaniinaniina ngʼakwetuka-bukwetuki, nʼomukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye ngʼamusenjaaku. OYonasani nʼayaba ngʼaita aBafirisuuti, nʼomukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye, ngʼamuzwaku e nyuma yena ngʼaita abandi. 
Omu bulumbagani obwo obwasookere, oYonasani nʼomukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye ni baita abalwani ooti aabiri, omu kifo ekyerya ooti kimo kyokubiri ekyʼeyinka. 
Awo ni wabbaawo ensisi omu nkambi nʼomu balwani abo ababbaire bawulukire okwaba okulumba, era nʼebba nʼomu balwani bonabona. Ababbaire omu nkambi era nʼabo abaabire okunyaga, ni batukuta, nʼekyalo ni kitengeeta, era ni wabbaawo ensisi yʼamaani ino oKibbumba egiyasindikire. 
Awo abakuumi ba Sawulo ababbaire e Gibbeya omu kitundu kya Bbenyamini, ni babona aBafirisuuti nga bairuka batyobatyo. 
Kale oSawulo nʼakoba abalwanibe abeyabbaire nabo aawo ati, “Mubale abantu, mubone abulawo.” Owebabalire, bayajiirye ngʼoYonasani nʼomukwati wʼebyokulwanisyabye nga niibo ababulawo. 
OSawulo nʼakoba Akiya ati, “Oleete aanu eSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano ya Kibbumba.” Oku lunaku olwo, eSanduuku eyo, aBaisirairi babbaire baabire nayo. 
Awo oSawulo oweyabbaire ngʼatumula nʼokabona, okutabukatabuka okwabbaire omu nkambi yʼaBafirisuuti ni kweyongera ino. OSawulo nʼakoba okabona ati, “Ekyo okireke.” 
Awo oSawulo nʼabalwani bonabona abeyabbaire nabo ni bakumbaana ni baaba olutalo e girwabbaire. Bayajiirye ngʼaBafirisuuti batabukiretabukire nga bali kwitangana bonka na bonka nʼempiima gyabwe. 
Ebyo nga bikaali okubbaawo, aBeebbulaniya ababbaire baabire nʼaBafirisuuti omu nkambi yaabwe ibo aBafirisuuti, bona ni bacuuka, ni beegaita oku Baisirairi ababbaire nʼoSawulo nʼoYonasani. 
Era batyo nʼaBaisirairi bonabona ababbaire beebisire omu kyalo ekyʼensozisozi ekyʼEfulaimu, owebawuliire bati aBafirisuuti bali kwiruka, bona omu buzira ni beegaita omu lutalo okulukutya aBafirisuuti. 
Kale oMusengwa nʼanunula oIsirairi oku lunaku olwo, era olutalo ni lwaba lubitawo e Bbesi Aveni. 
Atyanu abalwani bʼaBaisirairi ni babba omu kugada oku lunaku olwo, olwʼokubba oSawulo yalayiriire abantu ngʼakoba ati, “Omuntu yenayena eyaabbaaku nʼakaalya nga bukaali okwirugala era nga nkaali okumala okunyaaŋa abalabe bange, asune ekiraami.” Kale nandi ni wabbaawo kadi moiza eyakombere oku kyokulya. 
Amaje gonagona ni gangira omu kibira ni bayajiryamu omujenene nga guli ansi ansi. 
Owebaingiire omu kibira, baboine omujenene nga gutoonya okuzwa omu bisasala, neye nandi ni wabbaawo kadi moiza eyatoire okugulyaku, olwʼokubba batiire ekirayiro. 
Neye oYonasani yabbaire tawuliire ngʼoiteeye asibireku abantu okulya olwʼekirayiro. Kale nʼasiirya omukoomero oguyabbaire akwaite, empembi waagwo nʼagwinika omu bisasala byʼomujenene, nʼagutoolaku nʼengaloye, nʼagulyaku nʼairamu amaani. 
Awo omoiza oku bʼamaje nʼamukoba ati, “Oiteewo yasibireku abʼamaje okulya olwʼekirayiro ekikambwe ngʼakoba ati, ‘Omuntu eyaabbaaku nʼekyalya olwatyanu asune ekiraami.’ Abantu kagira bawoiremu amaani.” 
OYonasani nʼakoba ati, “Obbaabba aleeteire ekyalo obugosi. Aale obone nze owendiireku omujenene omutono oguti ngʼowenjiriremu amaani. 
Tikyandikirirewo singa abbaire aikiriirye abalwani olwatyanu ni balyaku ebyokulya ebibanyagire oku balabe baabwe? Tibandibbaire baitire aBafirisuuti bangi ino okukiraku awo?” 
Oku lunaku olwo, oluzwanyuma lwʼaBaisirairi okwita aBafirisuuti okuzwera e Mikumasi okutuuka omwAiyaloni, babbaire badembere. 
Ni bagwa oku munyago omwabbaire entaama nʼente enkulu nʼenyana, ni bagiitira aawo, abantu ni balya enyama erimu omusaaye. 
Ni bakobera oSawulo bati, “Abantu mbanu basunguwairye oMusengwa, ni balya enyama nʼomusaaye gwamu.” OSawulo nʼakoba ati, “Abo tibeesigwa eeri oMusengwa! Inywe mwanguweku mundeetere aanu ogubbaale.” 
Awo nʼakoba ati, “Mwabe mukobe nabuli mulwani omu nkambi okundeetera aanu onte nʼontaama omutomuto era baitire aanu ebisolo ebyo okwibbaale linu kaisi balye enyama yaabyo. Omu ngeri eyo mpaawo eyajeemera oMusengwa nʼalya enyama nʼomusaaye gwamu.” Kale ekiire ekyo, nabuli moiza nʼatwala onteewe era nʼamwitira aawo. 
Awo oSawulo nʼayombekera oMusengwa ekyoto. Era ogwo niigwo omulundigwe ogwabbaire ogusooka okukola ekyo. 
OSawulo nʼakoba ati, “Tuserengete twabe tulumbe aBafirisuuti obwire, tubanyage ebintu paka emambya oweyasala, era tubaite bonabona obutalekakuuwo kadi moiza.” Ni bairamu bati, “Okole nabuli kyobona nga niikyo ekikiraku obusa.” Neye okabona nʼakoba ati, “Oleke twebuuliryeku aanu eeri oKibbumba.” 
Kale oSawulo ni yeebuulyaku oKibbumba ati, “Nserengete njabe nnumbe aBafirisuuti, wabawaayo omu bwezye bwaiswe aBaisirairi?” Neye oKibbumba nandi nʼamwiramu oku lunaku olwo. 
Awo oSawulo nʼakoba ati, “Mwigerere aanu inywe nywenanywena abeekubbemberi bʼamaje era tunoonenkererye ekibbikibbi omuntu ekyakolere olwatyanu. 
Ndayira oMusengwa ngʼobwali mwomi iye oyo anunula oIsirairi nti, nʼowekyabba nga kigwire ku mutaane wange oYonasani, ali nʼokufa.” Neye mpaawo kwibo kadi moiza eyafufiire. 
Awo oSawulo nʼakoba aBaisirairi bonabona ati, “Inywe mwemerere edi; kaisi nze nʼoYonasani omutaane wange twayemerera aanu.” Abantu ni bamwiramu bati, “Okole nabuli kyobona nga niikyo ekikira obusa.” 
Awo oSawulo nʼasaba oMusengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi ati, “Onkobere ekituuce.” Awo akalulu ni kagwa ku Yonasani nʼoSawulo, abantu ibo ni bawunuka. 
OSawulo nʼakoba ati, “Mutukubbire akalulu aakati wange nʼoYonasani omutaane wange.” Era akalulu ni kagwa ku Yonasani. 
Awo oSawulo nʼakoba oYonasani ati, “Onkobere ekyokolere.” OYonasani nʼamukobera ati, “Naliireku omujenene mutono guti nga ngutoola empembi wʼomukoomero gwange. Atyanu okoba oti ndi nʼokufa?” 
OSawulo nʼakoba ati, “OKibbumba ambonerezanga nʼobukambwe singa iwe Yonasani tiwaafe!” 
Awo abalwani bʼaBaisirairi ni bakoba oSawulo bati, “Dala oYonasani oyo awanguliire oIsirairi olutalo lunu olwʼamaani afe? Kadi naire! Tulayira oMusengwa ngʼobwali mwomi, tiwaabbeewo waire kaziiri akamo kati akazwa oku mutwegwe, olwʼokubba akolere ekyo olwatyanu nʼobubbeeri bwa Kibbumba.” Kale abalwani abo ni banunula oYonasani kaisi nandi ni bamwita. 
Awo oSawulo nʼalekeraawo okulukutya aBafirisuuti, era aBafirisuuti ni bakanga omu kyalo kyabwe. 
OSawulo oweyasuukire okabaka wa Isirairi nʼalwanisya abalabebe bonabona ku buli lubba; nʼalwanisya aBamowaabbu, nʼaBaamoni nʼaBeedomu, nʼabakabaka bʼe Zobba, nʼaBafirisuuti. Nabuli e giyalumbanga, ngʼawangula. 
Nʼalwana nʼobuzira, nʼawangula aBamereki. Nʼanunula oIsirairi omu bwezye bwʼabo ababanyaganga. 
Abataane ba Sawulo babbaire niibo banu: OYonasani, nʼoIsuvi nʼoMaluki Suwa. Eriina lyʼomwalawe omukulu yabbaire niiye oMirabbu, kaisi eryʼomutomuto waaku yabbaire niiye oMikali. 
Omuka Sawulo nga niiye Akinowamu omwala wʼAkimaazi. Omuduumiri wʼamaje yabbaire niiye Abbuneeri omutaane wa Neeri, oNeeri oiteeye wa Sawulo omuto. 
OKiisi oiteeye wa Sawulo, nʼoNeeri oiteeye wʼAbbuneeri, babbaire bataane bʼAbbiyeri. 
OSawulo omu bwomibwe bwonabwona yabbaire mu lutalo olwʼamaani nʼaBafirisuuti, era oSawulo oweyabonanga omusaiza owʼamaani ooba omuzira, ngʼamwingirya mu majeege.
