Muanda kui musalayi fikanga bua kuipaa muanana nfumu oobe. 16 Biabia bibokitshi tabi buwa nya, bu bikale binyibinyi Yehowa na muwa, we mukumbene lufu, muanda tue mushale mupasukie bua kulama nfumu oobe muedibue muimu a Yehowa. Binobino banda kutala, a mulumbu wa nfumu na kalondo kaye ka mema bikele pepi na mutue waye bi kuikunyi?”

21 Saule nkumulungula’shi: “Ne muluishe. Alukiila muana ande Davide, ntakukitshina’nyi bibubi nya, muanda lelo uno buata muwa wande na muulo. Mbinyibinyi ne mukite mianda kushi binangu na ne mu kilubilo kikata.” 22 Davide nkumualuula’shi: “Mulumbu wa nfumu biaudi’bi. Nsongualume umune afikie ewate. 23 Yehowa nyi akafutu muntu oso muyile kululama kuaye na lulamato luaye, muanda lelo uno Yehowa kutuulanga mu maasa muande, kadi ntshi mukumiine kukitshina muedibue muimu a Yehowa bibubi. 24 Talanga! Nka bu biangatanga muwa oobe na muulo lelo uno, biabia muwa wande wikale namu na muulo ku meso kua Yehowa na ampaashe ku makienga ande oso.” 25 Saule nkualuula Davide’shi: “Efile Mukulu akuelele miabi muana ande Davide. Mbinyibinyi, okakitshi mianda ikata, okoobesha binyibinyi.” Akupu Davide bakatukile aye nkuenda, Saule nkualukiila kuaye.
