Bwile obu Banai̱saaleeli̱ baabaagha batakabaaye na mukama, hakaba haliyo Mu̱leevi̱ oghu aakalagha hambali haseli̱ye mu kyalo kya bwena kya Efulahi̱mu̱. Aaswela mukali̱ ku̱lu̱gha Bbeteleheemu mu kyalo kya ntu̱la ya Yu̱da. 
Bhaatu mukali̱ oghu aasaaliluwa na bali̱i̱ wee. Du̱mbi̱ aakuuka mu ka ya ese wee mu Bbeteleheemu mu kyalo kya ntu̱la ya Yu̱da. Aakalayo haabwa meeli̱ anaa. 
Niibuwo bali̱i̱ wee aatu̱u̱yemu kumukwama kandi kumusoona-soona kukuuka. Aatwala mu̱heeleli̱ya wee na ndogooi̱ ebili. Obu mukali̱ wee aamuboone aamutwala ewaa nkyame siye kandi nkyame siye aamwebali̱ye kusemeeye. 
Nkyame siye, aamughila ati alaaleyo, nahabweki aamalayo bilo bisatu, naaliya, naanuwa kandi naanalaalayo. 
Haa kilo kyakanaa, baamuka nkyambisi cu̱i̱ kandi musaasa oghu aatandika kweteekani̱ja kughenda. Bhaatu nkyame siye aatodha aamughila ati, “Odu̱bhe oliye kantu, niikuwo oghende.” 
Basaasa babili aba baasitama hamui kuliya kandi kunuwa. Nkyame siye aamughila ati, “Nkwesengeleei̱ye otodhe olaale kandi odheedhuwe haa mutima.” 
Obu Mu̱leevi̱ oghu aamu̱ki̱ye kughenda, nkyame siye aamwesengeleli̱ya kutodha kulaalayo, aatodha aalaalayo. 
Haa kilo kyakataano, aamuka nkyambisi cu̱i̱ kughenda, bhaatu nkyame siye aamughila ati, “Gutu odu̱bhe oliye kantu. Olinde ku̱hi̱ka lwagholo.” Nahabweki basaasa babili aba baasitama hamui kuliya. 
Obu musaasa oghu, mukali̱ wee onji na mu̱heeleli̱ya wee baatodhagha kubbala kughenda, nkyame siye aaghila ati, “Bwile bwamali̱ye ku̱hi̱ka lwagholo, otodhe olaale hani kandi odheedhuwe. Munkiya oomuke nkyambisi, oghende ewaawe.” 
Bhaatu musaasa oghu ataabbala kutodha kulaala. Aaghenda na ndogooi̱ siye ebili na mukali̱ wee, aaki̱dha haai na kibugha kya Bayebu̱si̱ (niiyo Yelusaalemu). 
Baaki̱dha mu kibugha kya Yebu̱si̱ bwile mbughenda kwala, mu̱heeleli̱ya wee aamughila ati, “Oleke tulaale mu kibugha kya Bayebu̱si̱ eni.” 
Mukama wee aamughila ati, “Bbaa, tatukugubha kulaala mu kibugha kya banamahanga hambali Banai̱saaleeli̱ batali. Bhaatu tweyongele mu maaso tu̱ki̱dhe mu kibugha kya Gi̱bbeya.” 
“Mwise, muleke tulengʼo kughenda kandi ku̱ki̱dha mu kibugha kya Gi̱bbeya kedha Laama kandi tukulaala mu emui haa bibugha ebi.” 
Nahabweki beeyongela kughenda. Obu musana ghwaghendagha kukota, baaki̱dha mu kibugha kya Gi̱bbeya hambali bantu baa ntu̱la ya Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱ baabaagha baakaaye. 
Baalu̱gha mu luguudhe kughenda kulaala mu kibugha kya Gi̱bbeya eghi. Baaghenda kandi baasitama haagati ya tau̱ni̱ eghi, bhaatu ataabʼo muntu nʼomui oghu akubatwala ewe e ka kulaalayo. 
Obu baabaagha banali haala, musaasa mukulu aasa lwagholo naalu̱gha kukola mu musili. Akaba alu̱ghi̱ye mu kyalo kya bwena kya Efulahi̱mu̱, bhaatu bwile obu akaba aakaaye mu kibugha kya Gi̱bbeya. Bantu banji abaabaagha mu tau̱ni̱ eghi bakaba bali baa ntu̱la ya Bbenjami̱i̱ni̱. 
Obu aaboone bantu abakwete kubunga aba basitami̱ye haagati ya tau̱ni̱ eghi, aababu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Mu̱ku̱lu̱gha haa kandi mukughenda haa?” 
Mu̱leevi̱ oghu aamughila ati, “Tukwete ku̱lu̱gha e Bbeteleheemu mu ntu̱la ya Yu̱da kandi niibuwo twaghenda mu kyalo kya bwena kya Efulahi̱mu̱ hambali nkuukalagha. Naabaagha Bbeteleheemu mu ntu̱la ya Yu̱da kandi endindi niibuwo naakuuka e ka. Bhaatu taaliyo muntu weena oghu abbali̱ye kututwala ewe e ka kulaalayo. 
Tuli na bi̱si̱ngo na byokuliya bya ndogooi̱ syatu kandi twaba na migaati̱ na vi̱i̱ni̱ yanje, mukali̱ wanje na mu̱heeleli̱ya oni, taaliyo eki̱bu̱li̱yʼo.” 
Musaasa mukulu oghu aaghila ati, “Mwise mulaale ewanje, nkubaha byona ebi mukwetaaghisibuwa. Gutu mutalaala haagati ya tau̱ni̱ eni.” 
Musaasa mukulu oghu aatwala bantu aba ewe e ka kandi aaha ndogooi̱ syabo byokuliya. Aaha baghenu̱ be aba maasi ghaa kunaaba mu maghulu. Aabaha dhee byokuliya na byakunuwa. 
Obu baanaliyagha badheedheeu̱we haa mitima yabo, ki̱bbu̱la kya basaasa babhi bʼomu tau̱ni̱ eghi beeli̱ghi̱i̱li̱li̱ya numba ya musaasa mukulu oghu. Baatandika kuhuula lwighi mbabilikila musaasa oghu nʼelaka lyamaani̱ bati, “Otwesi̱ye musaasa oghu ali mu numba yaawe tulangaale naye.” 
Musaasa mukulu oghu aatuwa enja ku̱bu̱gha nabo ati, “Bbaa, baana baa maaha, gutu mutakola kintu ki̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye eki. Musaasa oghu ni mu̱ghenu̱ wanje kandi kintu eki kikutuhemula. 
Ndi hani na muhala wanje oghu atamani̱ye basaasa na mukali̱ wa musaasa oghu, oleke mbaleetele bo, mubakole kintu kyona eki mukubbala. Bhaatu musaasa oghu mutamukolʼo kintu ki̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye eki.” 
Mu̱leevi̱ oghu, aakwata mukali̱ wee aamu̱twesi̱ya mu bantu aba, baamukola kubhi kandi baamuhamba mukilo yoona, nkyambisi bwile mbukiya baamuleka kughenda. 
Nkyambisi mukali̱ oghu aasa kandi eegenga haa mulyango ghwa numba ya musaasa oghu, hambali bali̱i̱ wee ali. Aakala alangaayʼo ku̱hi̱ki̱ya bwile bukeeye. 
Obu bali̱i̱ wee aamu̱ki̱ye nkyambisi kuughula lwighi kutuwa kughenda. Makakuba li̱i̱so, aabona mukali̱ wee alangaaye haai na mulyango, mikono yee eku̱mi̱ye haa bi̱ji̱ngi̱li̱jo bya lwighi. 
Aamughila ati, “Oomuke, wiise tughende.” Bhaatu mukali̱ oghu ataamukuukamu. Du̱mbi̱ aahi̱dha mukali̱ wee oghu aamuta haa ndogooi̱ yee aamutwala ewe e ka. 
Obu aaki̱dhi̱ye e ka, aakwata muhiyo, aajombakaka mu̱ku̱ ghwa mukali̱ wee oghu bi̱twi̱ke eku̱mi̱ na bibili. Aatuma mu bu̱li̱ ntu̱la ya I̱saaleeli̱ ki̱twi̱ke kimui kya mubili oghu. 
Bantu boona abaaboone kintu eki, baaghila bati, “Kintu ngʼeki takikabaaghʼo! Tatukaaghu̱wagha kintu ngʼeki ku̱lu̱gha bwile Banai̱saaleeli̱ baalu̱ghi̱ye mu nsi ya Mi̱si̱li̱. Tuli na ku̱kyeli̱li̱kanʼo bhyani kandi tu̱tu̱wemu̱ kya kukola.”
