Mukunda natshi ngushigo naye guya nu aye gu ita ha guluisa mbalagaji jiaye?” 9 Akishe wamuvutudile egi: “Mukunda nu ame, wana khala muthu wabonga gifua muanjelo wa Nzambi. Uvi mafumu a enya Filistiya azuedi egi: ‘Gashigo muya nu esue gu ita.’ 10 Hamene mu gimenegena, aye nu athu aye mudi naye guzuga ha guya tangua guma mbagutshia.”
