Awo nga wabitirekuuwo ekiseera, aBafirisuuti ni bakumbaania amaje gaabwe, okulwanisya aBaisirairi. Akisi nʼakoba oDawudi ati, “Okimanye oti iwe nʼabalwanibo mwaba na nze omu lutalo.” 
ODawudi nʼakoba ati, “Kale weeboneraku nze omuweereryawo, ekimpezya okukola.” Akisi nʼakoba oDawudi ati, “Nakusani ino, njaba kukusuuca mukuumi wange enaku gyonagyona egyʼobwomibwo.” 
Atyanu oSamwiri yabbaire amalire okufa, era ngʼaBaisirairi bonabona bamalire okumukunga, era nga bamuliikire e Laama omu kibuga kyʼe waabwe. Era oSawulo yabbaire amalire okubbinga abafumu nʼabalaguli omwigwanga. 
Awo aBafirisuuti ni bakumbaana, ni baaba ni bakola enkambi e Sunemu. OSawulo nʼakumbaania amaje gʼaBaisirairi gonagona ni gakola enkambi e Girubbowa. 
OSawulo oweyaboine amaje gʼaBafirisuuti, nʼatya era ensisi nʼemukwata. 
Awo oSawulo ni yeebuulyaku oMusengwa, neye oMusengwa nandi nʼamwiramu omu birooto waire omu kukolesya oWulimu waire kubita mu banaabbi. 
Awo oSawulo nʼakoba abaweereryabe ati, “Munnoonerye olukowe njabe namwebuulyeku.” Abaweereryabe ni bamukoba bati, “Waliwo olukowe omwEndoli.” 
Awo oSawulo ni yeetiringanisya, nʼazwala ooti muntu owa bulijo. Nʼayaba nʼabasaiza babiri eeri omukali oyo obwire, nʼamukoba ati, “Waneebuuliryeku omwigu era onjetere ogwʼomuntu oyo, ogunabbutula eriina.” 
Neye omukali nago nʼamukoba ati, “Omaite kusani oSawulo ekiyakolere, oweyamalirewo abafumu nʼabalaguli omwIsirairi. Kale atyanu lwaki ogezyaku okunkema, nʼokummuma omu mutego okunjitisya?” 
Neye iye oSawulo nʼamulayirira oMusengwa, ngʼakoba ati, “OMusengwa ngʼobwali mwomi, tibakubonereze olwʼokukola ekyo.” 
Omukali nʼamukoba ati, “Naani ogumba nkwetere?” Nʼamukoba ati, “Onjetere mwigu gwa Samwiri.” 
Awo omukali oweyaboine omwigu gwa Samwiri, nʼakuukulya, era nʼakoba oSawulo ati, “Ombeyeire niki? Niiwe okabaka oSawulo!” 
Okabaka nʼamukoba ati, “Tiwaatya! Obona niki?” Omukali nʼamwiramu ati, “Mbona ogasani ngʼazwa omwitakali.” 
Nʼamubuulya ati, “Afaanana atya?” Omukali nʼairamu ati, “Musaiza mukaire azwaire eganduula niiye azwayo.” Awo oSawulo nʼamanya ati oyo Samwiri, era nʼafuunama nʼaica empumi ansi okwitakali okumuwa ekitiisya. 
OSamwiri nʼabuulya oSawulo ati, “Lwaki onteganya okunjeta nkwerukire?” OSawulo nʼairamu ati, “Neeraliikiriire ino! ABafirisuuti bandwanisya, kaisi oKibbumba andekerewo. Era takaali anjiramu newankubbaire kubita mu banaabbi, waire mu birooto. Kale nkwetere onkobere ekimba nkole.” 
Awo oSamwiri nʼamukoba ati, “Lwaki ombuulya ninze ngʼoMusengwa akulekerewo, era ngʼasuukire mulabewo? 
OMusengwa onanyere akolere ekiyakukobere ngʼabitira mu nze. Akutoireku obwakabakabwo, nʼabuwa omuntu ogondi nga niiye oDawudi. 
Olwʼokubba wajeemeire oMusengwa era nandi nʼotuuca obulwa bwa Musengwa obwʼamaani oku Bamereki, kagira akukolere ekintu ekyo olwatyanu. 
Nʼekindi, iwe nʼaBaisirairi oMusengwa ayaba okubawaayo omu bwezye bwʼaBafirisuuti. Era eizo iwe nʼabataanebo mwaba kubba nanze e magombe, era oMusengwa yaawaayo amaje ga Isirairi omu bwezye bwʼaBafirisuuti.” 
Amangu ago oSawulo nʼagwa ni yeeyala okwitakali, ngʼatiire ino olwʼebibono byʼomwigu gwa Samwiri. Nʼaweeramu nakimo amaani, olwʼokubba yabbaire asiibire nzala omusana gwonagwona nʼobwire. 
Omukali odi nʼaigerera e giri oSawulo, nʼabona oSawulo ngʼatiire ino. Nʼakoba oSawulo ati, “Nze omuweereryawo, nkugondeire. Neejaire ni nkukolera ekyonsabire okukola. 
Kale atyanu nkwegairira ompulisisye nze omuweereryawo era oganye nkuweeku akokulya era olyeku kaisi osune amaani okweyabira.” 
OSawulo nʼagaana, nʼakoba ati, “Tinaalye!” Neye abaweereryabe aamo nʼomukali nago, ni bamuwooyawooya, nʼaikirirya ekibamukoba. Awo nʼasetuka nʼatyama. 
Omukali yabbairewo nʼokitobba omusava eika aawo nʼamusala mangu mangu. Nʼatoola engaano nʼagikanda, nʼasumbamu emigaati egibulamu okazumbulukuca. 
Awo nʼabireetera oSawulo nʼabaweereryabe, ni balya. Era ekiire ekinanyere ekyo ni basimbuka ni baaba.
