Atyanu oMusengwa nʼatuma onaabbi Nasani eeri okabaka oDawudi. ONasani nʼayaba nʼakobera oDawudi ati, “Wabbairewo abasaiza babiri omu kibuga ekimo. Omoiza yabbaire musuni, nʼogondi nga mudoobi. 
Omusaiza omusuni iye yabbaire nʼentaama nʼente nyingi ino. 
Neye omudoobi iye yabbaire abulaku kantu, okutoolaku akataama akaluusi akeyabbaire agulire nga katokato, nʼakaliisirirya, ni kakulira omu kisitokye aamo nʼabaanabe. Kaalyanga ku kyokulyakye, ni kanyweranga mu kikopokye, nʼakaleranga, nga kali ooti kaalake.” 
“Lwabbaire lumo omusaiza omusuni nago nʼacaaza omugeni. Omusuni oyo nandi nʼataka okwita omoiza oku ntaamagye ooba oku nteegye okusumbira omugeniwe amucaaliire, neye nʼayaba nʼakwata kataama akaluusi akʼomusaiza omudoobi odi, nʼakasumbira omugeniwe amucaaliire.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼasunguwalira ino omusaiza oyo. Nʼakoba oNasani ati, “Ndayira oKibbumba ngʼobwali omwomi, nti omusaiza oyo eyakolere ekintu ekyo asaaniire kufa! 
Era omu ntaama oyo, ali nʼokusasulamu entaama enduusi ina, olwʼokubba ekyo yakikolere ngʼabula kusaasira.” 
Awo oNasani nʼakoba oDawudi ati, “Omusaiza oyo, niiwe. Era ati oMusengwa iye oKibbumba wa Isirairi akoba ati, ‘Nakusukireku amafuta okubba kabaka wa Isirairi, ni nkununula omu bwezye bwa Sawulo. 
Nakuwaire ebintu byonabyona ebyabbaire ebya musengwawo, ni nkukwatisya nʼabakalibe, ni nkusuuca kabaka wʼabantu bonabona abʼomwIsirairi nʼabʼomu Buyudaaya. Era singa ebyo byabbaire tibikumala, nandikwongeire nʼebindi ebikirawo. 
Kale lwaki onyoomere ekibono kyange nze oMusengwa, nʼokola ebibbibibbi omumaiso gange? Wategekeire oWuliya oMukiiti, aBaamoni ni bamwitira omu lutalo, nʼotwala nʼomukaliwe. 
Nʼolwekyo entalo tigyawenge omwibyaireryo emirembe gyonagyona olwʼokubba wannyoomere, nʼotwala omuka Wuliya oMukiiti okubba mukaliwo.’ ” 
“Era oMusengwa akoba ati, ‘Obone, nalireeta akabbikabbi omu nyumbayo, ni ntwala abakalibo ngʼobona, ni mbawa omusaiza omwinawo ni yeegaita nabo musana perekete. 
Iwe wakikolere mu mbiso, neye nze nalikikola musana perekete ngʼaBaisirairi bonabona babona.’ ” 
Awo oDawudi nʼakoba oNasani ati, “Nakolere ekikole kibbikibbi omumaiso ga Musengwa.” ONasani nʼakoba oDawudi ati, “OMusengwa atoirewo ekibbikibbikyo, tiwaafe. 
Neye olwʼekikole ekyo, oleeteire abalabe ba Musengwa okumunyooma, kale omwana omwisuka ogubakubyaliire ayaba kufa.” 
ONasani nʼakanga e wuwe. Awo oMusengwa nʼaleeta obulwaire oku mwana omwisuka, omuka Wuliya oguyabyaire nʼoDawudi, omwana oyo nʼalwala ino. 
Awo oDawudi nʼasaba era nʼasiiba nga yeegairira oKibbumba okulamya omwana oyo, oDawudi nandi nʼabbaaku nʼakaalya. Nʼaingira omu nyumba, nʼamala ekiire kyonakyona ngʼalambaire ansi. 
Abakungu abʼomu lubirirwe, ni baaba e gyali, okumwegairira asetuke azwe ansi, neye iye nʼagaana era nʼagaana okulya ekyokulya kyonakyona nabo. 
Oku lunaku olwomusanvu omwana nago nʼafa. Abakungu ba Dawudi ni batya okumukobera bati omwana afiire, olwʼokubba baseegere bati, “Omwana ngʼakaali mwomi okabaka twatumwire naye nandi nʼatuwulisisya, kale twamukoba tutya tuti omwana afiire! Ademba ni yeekola akabbikabbi.” 
Neye oDawudi oweyababoine nga baweweetanganira, nʼategeera ati omwana afiire. Awo oDawudi nʼababuulya ati, “Omwana afiire?” Ni bamwiramu bati, “Afiire.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼasetuka ansi, nʼayaba nʼanaaba, ni yeesiiga amafuta, nʼacuusa ebizwalo, nʼayaba omu nyumba ya Musengwa, nʼasinza. Awo nʼakanga omu nyumbaye, nʼasaba ekyokulya, ni bakimuleetera nʼalya. 
Awo abakungube ni bamubulya bati, “Niki ekyo ekyokolere? Wasiibire nʼokunga ngʼomwanawo akaali okufa, neye omwana obwafiire osetukire nʼolya ekyokulya!” 
ODawudi nʼabairamu ati, “Omwana oweyabbaire ngʼakaali mwomi, nasiibire ni nkunga, olwʼokubba naseegere nti amo-so oMusengwa ayezya okunkwatira ekisa, omwana nandi nʼafa. 
Neye atyanu ngʼamalire okufa, niki ekigira ni nsiiba? Nkaali njezya okumwirya? Nze ninze enalyaba e gyali, neye iye takaali aira e gyendi.” 
Awo okabaka oDawudi nʼagumya omukaliwe oBbesusebba. Oluzwanyuma ni yeegaita naye nʼabba kida, nʼabyala omwana mwisuka, oDawudi nʼamuwa eriina ati Sulemaani. OMusengwa nʼataka ino omwana oyo, 
era oMusengwa nʼalagira onaabbi Nasani nʼawa omwana oyo eriina ati, Yedidiya, olwʼokubba oMusengwa yamutakire. 
Ebyo nga biri awo, oYowaabbu nʼalumba oLabba ekibuga ekikulu ekyʼaBaamoni, nʼakiwamba. 
OYowaabbu nʼatuma abakwenda eeri oDawudi, okumukoba bati, “Nnumbire oLabba era ekifo kyakyo ekirimu ensulo egyʼamaizi ni nkiwamba. 
Kale okumbaanie amaje gonagona agasigairewo ozingize ekibuga okiwambe, demba nze ni nkiwamba ni bakiwa liina lyange.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼakumbaania aamo abʼamaje bonabona nʼayaba e Labba, nʼakirwanisya, nʼakiwamba. 
ODawudi nʼatoola engule oku mutwe gwa kabaka wʼaBaamoni, nʼagiteeka oku mutwegwe. Engule eyo babbaire bagikolere mu zaabbu nʼomu mabbaale agʼebbeeyi, ngʼezitowa ekiro ooti 35. ODawudi nʼanyaga nʼebitundu ebindi bingi ino omu kibuga ekyo. 
Abantu baamu nʼabatoolamu, nʼabakolesya emirimo nga bakolesya emisumeeno, nʼesuuluulu, nʼembaizi, era nʼabakolesya omu kwoca amatafaali. Era atyo weyakolere abantu bonabona abʼomu bibuga byʼaBaamoni. Awo oDawudi nʼamajeege gonagona ni bakanga e Yerusaalemi.
