Samuweli Oopacerya
21 Muhoolo mwaya, Davidi aahiphiya oNobi+ wa namukuttho Ahimeleki. Okathi Ahimeleke aakumanne awe ni Davidi, aahipacerya othukumela onamukoha wiira: “Xeeni muri anyu mekhinyu? Xeeni muhikhanle anyu ni mutthu mukina?”+ 2 Davidi aahimwaakhula namukuttho Ahimeleki, wiira: “Mwene ookiruma opaka etthu okihimeerya wiira: ‘Ohikhale mutthu mukina onsuwela etthu kinoorumaakani, nnakhala malakiheryo kinoovahaakani’. Nto miyo, kihiiwanana ni alopwana aka okumana opuro mukina. 3 Nto vakhala wiira mookhalana iphaawu thanu, aahiiso etthu ekina, mukivahe”. 4 Masi namukuttho aahimwaakhula Davidi wiira: “Khasikhanle iphaawu sikina, sikhanle paahi iphaawu sinivahiwa Muluku.+ Munoowerya okhuura iphaawu iyo vakhala wiira alopwana anyu kharumpe ni athiyana”.+ 5 Davidi aahimwaakhula namukuttho oriki: “Khanirumpe ni athiyana, ntoko siisaale nahaarupa ahu ni athiyana okathi naarowa ahu okhottoni.+ Vakhala wiira irutthu sa alopwana awo saanireerihiwa okathi naavara ahu miteko sikina, olelo ti sootepa oreerihiwa!” 6 Namukuttho aahinvaha Davidi iphaawu saavahiwa Muluku,+ okhala wiira khisaakhanle iphaawu sikina, sihikhanle iphaawu saavahiwa Muluku. Iphaawu iyo saakumihiwe ohoolo wa Yehova, siranttelihiwaka ni iphaawu sooxiwe nihiku nenle.
7 Nihiku nle murumeyi mmosa a Sawuli aari weiwo. Owo aahikhanyererihiwa okhala ohoolo wa Yehova. Nsina nawe aihaniwa Dowegi+ a wEdomi,+ xeefi a amakampusi a Sawuli.
8 Davidi aahimuhimeerya Ahimeleki wiira: “Niireke nookhala nivaka aahiiso espaata opuro ola? Miyo nkaakunxe espaata aka nnakhala ikaruma saka sa ekhotto, okhala wiira muteko mwene aakirumme awe waari woowaakuveya”. 9 Siiso namukuttho aahihimya wiira: “Kirina espaata ya nfilisti, Goliyati,+ yoowo mwaamwiivale anyu oxepani wa* Elahi.+ Ela-va, yuupanyeriwe ni ekuwo ottuli wa eefodi.+ Mwaaphavelaka mukuxeke, okhala wiira kirina yeela paahi”. Vano Davidi aahihimya wiira: “Mukivaheke okhala wiira khekhanle ekina”.
10 Nihiku nle Davidi aahithipelela omutthyawa+ Sawuli, mpakha ophiya wa mwene Akixi, a oGathi.+ 11 Arumeyi a Akixi, yaahimuhimeerya wiira: “Ola khahiyo Davidi mwene a elapo ya wIsarayeli? Kiira ti yoola yaamwiipela aya ni omwiinela ariki:
‘Sawuli owiivale atthu ikonto sene,
Masi Davidi owiivale atthu ikonto miloko sene’?”+
12 Davidi aahihela moolumo ale vamurimani ni aahipacerya omoova vanceene+ mwene Akixi a oGathi. 13 Nto owo aahiikhaliha ntoko namukhwa-anepa*+ ohoolo waya, aanilepa mikhora sa epooma ni aanimoroxela isene veereruni vawe. 14 Wookiseryani, Akixi aahaahimeerya arumeyi awe wiira: “Muhoona wiira mulopwana ola namukhwa-anepa, xeeni muhalaka okiruuhela? 15 Nyuwo muhoona wiira kookhalana anamukhwa-anepa anceene, nto xeeni muhalaka okiruuhela mukina? Niireke mulopwana ola ohaana okela mpaani mwaka?”
