1 Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo ƒo woƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu hena aʋawɔwɔ eye wova ƒo ƒu ɖe Soko le Yuda. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Efes Damim le Soko kple Azeka dome.
Afilisti anasonkhanitsa ankhondo awo ku Soko mʼdziko la Yuda. Iwo anamanga misasa yawo ku Efesi-Damimu, pakati pa Soko ndi Azeka.
2 Saul kple Israelviwo hã ƒo ƒu, woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Ela balime eye wodze aʋalɔgowo ɖe Filistitɔwo ŋu.
Sauli ndi Aisraeli anasonkhana namanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Ela ndipo anandandalitsa ankhondo kuti amenyane ndi Afilisti.
3 Ale Filistitɔwo kple Israelviwo nɔ to eve dzi dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo eye balime la tso wo dome.
Afilisti anali phiri lina ndipo Aisraeli analinso phiri lina, ndipo pakati pawo panali chigwa.
4 Aʋakalẽtɔ aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Goliat, ame si tso Gat do go tso Filistitɔwo ƒe asaɖa me. Ŋutsu sia ƒe kɔkɔme anɔ mita etɔ̃.
Tsono munthu wina wamphamvu, dzina lake Goliati wochokera ku Gati anatuluka ku misasa ya Afilisti. Msinkhu wake unali pafupipafupi mamita atatu.
5 Eɖɔ akɔbligakuku eye wòkpla akpoxɔnu si wowɔ kple akɔbli si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram blaatɔ̃-vɔ-adre.
Iye ankavala chipewa chamkuwa ndi malaya achitsulo olemera makilogalamu 57.
6 Edo akpoxɔnu si wowɔ kple akɔbli la ɖe afɔ eye wòlé akɔbli ƒe akplɔ didi aɖe ɖe abɔta.
Ankavalanso zokuta miyendo yake zamkuwa, ndipo ankanyamula nthungo ya mkuwa pa phewa pake.
7 Eƒe akplɔti le abe abaladoti ene eye wowɔ akplɔ si le enu la kple gayibɔ si ƒe kpekpeme anye kilogram adre. Eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla nɔ eŋgɔ.
Thunthu la mkondo wake linali ngati mkombero wowombera nsalu, ndipo mutu wa mkondowo unkalemera makilogalamu asanu ndi awiri. Patsogolo pake pamakhala munthu wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo.
8 Goliat tsi tsitre eye wòdo ɣli ɖo ɖe Israelviwo ƒe aʋalɔgowo be, “Nu ka ŋutie miedo go va ɖo fli hena aʋawɔwɔ? Ɖe menye Filistitɔe menye eye miawo hã míenye Saul ƒe dɔlawo oa? Mitia ŋutsu ɖeka eye miana wòava do gom le balia me
Goliatiyo anayimirira ndi kufuwula kwa ankhondo a Israeli, nati, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwakonzekera nkhondo chotere? Kodi sindine Mfilisiti ndipo inu sindinu akapolo a Sauli? Sankhani munthu kuti abwere kwa ine.
9 Ne ete ŋu wɔ aʋa kplim eye wòwum la, míanye miaƒe subɔlawo, gake ne meɖu edzi eye mewui la, ekema miawo hã miazu míaƒe subɔlawo.”
Ngati angathe kumenyana nane ndi kundipha, ife tidzakhala akapolo anu, koma ngati ine ndimugonjetsa ndi kumupha, inu mudzakhala akapolo athu ndi kumatitumikira.”
10 Tete Filistitɔ la yi edzi be, “Egbe meɖe alɔme le Israel ƒe aʋalɔgoawo ŋu! Miɖe ŋutsu ɖeka nam ne nye kplii míawɔ aʋa.”
Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anati, “Bwerani lero timenyane basi! Patseni munthu kuti ndimenyane naye.”
11 Esi Saul kple Israel blibo la se nya siwo Filistitɔ la gblɔ la, dzi ɖe le wo ƒo eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔ.
Atamva mawu a Mfilisitiyo, Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anataya mtima nachita mantha kwambiri.
12 Azɔ la, David nye Efraimtɔ, Yese ƒe viŋutsu, ame si tso Betlehem le Yuda. Viŋutsu enyi nɔ Yese si eye Saul ƒe fiaɖuɣi me la, enye ametsitsi si xɔ ƒe geɖe.
Davide anali mwana wa munthu wa fuko la Efurati dzina lake Yese amene amachokera ku Betelehemu mʼdziko la Yuda. Yese anali ndi ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri. Pa nthawi ya Sauli nʼkuti ali wokalamba.
13 Yese viŋutsu tsitsitɔ etɔ̃ kplɔ Saul ɖo yi aʋa. Gbãtɔ ŋkɔe nye Eliab, evelia ŋkɔe nye Abinadab eye etɔ̃lia ŋkɔe nye Sama.
Ana atatu oyamba kubadwa a Yese nʼkuti atapita nawo ku nkhondo pamodzi ndi Sauli. Woyamba dzina lake anali Eliabu, wachiwiri anali Abinadabu, ndipo wachitatu anali Sama.
14 David nye viŋutsuvi suetɔ. Esime nɔvia tsitsitɔ etɔ̃awo nɔ Saul ƒe aʋakɔ la me la,
Davide ndiye anali mzime. Ana aakulu atatuwo ndiwo anapita ku nkhondo ndi Sauli.
15 David dzona le Saul gbɔ enuenu heyina Betlehem ɖakpɔa fofoa ƒe alẽwo dzi.
Koma Davide ankapita ku misasa ya Sauli ndi kubwerako kuti azikaweta nkhosa za abambo ake ku Betelehemu.
16 Goliat, Filistitɔwo ƒe ame dzɔatsu la tsia tsitre ɖe Israelʋakɔ la ŋkume geditɔe ŋdi kple fiẽ ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ.
Kwa masiku makumi anayi, Mfilisiti uja ankabwera mmawa ndi madzulo kumadzionetsera.
17 Azɔ la, Yese gblɔ na Via ŋutsu David be, “Tsɔ bli tɔtɔe agba ɖeka sia, si de kilogram wuiade kple abolo ewo siawo eye nàɖe abla atsɔ wo ayi na nɔviwòwo le woƒe asaɖa la me.
Tsiku lina Yese anawuza mwana wake Davide kuti, “Atengere abale ako makilogalamu khumi a tirigu wokazinga ndi malofu a buledi khumi ndipo upite nazo mofulumira ku misasa yawo.
18 Tsɔ notsi babla lalã ewo yi na woƒe aʋalɔgoa ƒe amegã, bia nɔviwòwo ƒe agbe ta se eye nàxɔ gbe tso wo gbɔ vɛ nam.
Utengerenso wolamulira wa gulu lawo tchizi khumi uyu. Ukaone mmene abale ako akukhalira ndipo ubwere ndi kanthu kosonyeza kuti ali bwino.
19 Wole Saul kple Israel ŋutsuwo dome le Ela balime me le aʋa wɔm kple Filistitɔwo.”
Sauli, abale akowo ndi asilikali onse a Israeli ali ku chigwa cha Ela, akumenyana ndi Afilisti.”
20 David fɔ ŋdi kanya, tsɔ alẽawo de asi na alẽkplɔvi ɖeka. Edo agba eye wòdze mɔ abe ale si Yese ɖo nɛ ene. Eɖo asaɖa la me esi asrafoawo bɔ asaɖa le aʋaɣli dom yina ɖe woƒe nɔƒewo.
Mʼmamawa mwake Davide anasiya nkhosa mʼmanja mwa munthu wina ndipo anatenga zakudyazo nanyamuka monga momwe Yese abambo ake anamulamulira. Anakafika ku misasa pamene asilikali ankapita kukandanda pa mzere ku nkhondo, nʼkufuwula mfuwu wankhondo.
21 Israelviwo kple Filistitɔwo nɔ woƒe aʋalɔgowo me hedze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo.
Aisraeli ndi Afilisti anandanda pa mzere wankhondo moyangʼanana.
22 David gblẽ eƒe nuwo ɖe aʋawɔnuwo dzikpɔla gbɔ heƒu du yi ɖe aʋaŋgɔ eye wòdo gbe na nɔviawo.
Tsono Davide anasiyira zakudya zija munthu wosunga katundu nathamangira kumene kunali ankhondo kuja ndi kukalonjera abale ake.
23 Esi wònɔ nu ƒom kple nɔviawo la, Goliat, Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakalẽ si tso Gat la do go ɖe ŋgɔgbe le eƒe aʋakɔwo ŋgɔ eye wòdo ɣli gblɔ alɔmeɖenya ma ke. David see.
Pamene iye ankayankhula nawo anangoona Goliati wa ku Gati uja akuchoka pa mzere wa Afilisti akufuwula mawu onyoza monga mwa masiku onse, ndipo Davide ankawamva.
24 Esi Israelviwo kpɔe ko la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo eye wode asi sisi me.
Aisraeli ataona munthuyo, anamuthawa ndi mantha aakulu.
25 Azɔ la, Israelviwo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Miekpɔ ale si ŋutsu sia le dodom ɖe ŋgɔ edziedzia? Edona be yeaɖe alɔme le Israel ŋu. Fia la ana kesinɔnu gã aɖe ame si awui, woatsɔ via nyɔnuvi hã nɛ wòaɖe eye woana be fofoa ƒe ƒometɔwo magaxe duga le Israel o.”
Ndipo Aisraeli ankanena kuti, “Kodi mwamuona munthu akubwerayo? Iye amangobwera kudzanyoza Israeli. Tsono mfumu inati kuti idzapereka chuma chambiri kwa munthu amene adzamuphe. Idzaperekanso mwana wake wamkazi kuti amukwatire ndiponso banja la abambo ake silidzaperekanso msonkho mu Israeli.”
26 David bia ŋutsu siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ la be, “Nu kae woawɔ na ŋutsu si awu Filistitɔ sia ahaɖe ŋukpe sia ɖa le Israel ŋu? Ame kae nye Filistitɔ, bolotɔ sia, be wòanɔ alɔme ɖem le Mawu gbagbe la ƒe aʋalɔgowo ŋu?”
Davide anafunsa anthu amene anayima pafupi naye kuti, “Kodi adzamuchita chiyani munthu amene adzapha Mfilisiti uyu ndi kuchotsa chitonzo pakati pa Israeli? Mfilisiti wosachita mdulidweyu ndi ndani kuti azinyoza gulu lankhondo la Mulungu wamoyo?”
27 Woawo hã gagblɔ nya siwo wogblɔ tsã va yi. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nu siae woawɔ na ame si awui.”
Anthu anamuwuzanso zonse zimene mfumu inanena kuti idzachitira munthu amene adzapha Mfilisitiyo.
28 Esi Eliab, David nɔviŋutsu tsitsitɔ see wònɔ nu ƒom kple ŋutsuawo la, etrɔ ɖe eŋu kple dziku hebiae be, “Nu ka tae nèva afi sia ɖo? Eye ame ka gbɔe nègblẽ alẽ ʋɛawo ɖo le gbea dzi? Menya dada si le mewò kple dzi vɔ̃ɖi si le mewò. Ɖe ko nèva afi sia be yeava kpɔ aʋa la teƒe.”
Eliabu, mkulu wake wa Davide, atamumva akuyankhula ndi anthuwo, anamukwiyira ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wabwera kuno? Ndipo wasiyira yani nkhosa zochepazo mʼchipululu? Ndikudziwa kuti ndiwe wodzikuza ndiponso woyipa mtima. Unabwera kuno kuti udzaonere nkhondo.”
29 David biae be, “Azɔ la agɔ kae medze? Nyemekpɔ mɔ aƒo nu tete oa?”
Davide anati, “Kodi ndachita chiyani ine? Kodi ndisamayankhule?”
30 David zɔ yi ame bubu gbɔ, bia nya ma kee eye wòna ŋuɖoɖo ma kee abe tsãtɔ ene.
Ndipo anamuchokera napita kwa munthu wina ndipo anamufunsa nkhani yomweyo, ndipo anthu anamuyankha iye monga poyamba paja.
31 Wose nya si David gblɔ eye woyi ɖagblɔe na Saul. Tete Saul dɔ ame ɖa woɖayɔe va egbɔe.
Mawu amene Davide anayankhula atamveka, anthu anakafotokozera Sauli ndipo Sauli anamuyitanitsa.
32 David gblɔ na Saul be, “Dzi megaɖe le ame aɖeke ƒo le Filistitɔ sia ta o. Wò dɔla ayi aɖawɔ aʋa kplii.”
Davide anati kwa Sauli, “Munthu aliyense asataye mtima chifukwa cha Mfilisitiyu. Ine kapolo wanu ndipita kukamenyana naye.”
33 Saul ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Màte ŋu ayi ado go kple Filistitɔ sia, awɔ aʋa kplii o. Wò la ɖevi ko nènye ke eya le aʋa wɔm tso eƒe ɖekakpuime ke.”
Sauli anayankha Davide kuti, “Iwe sungathe kupita kukamenyana ndi Mfilisitiyu. Iwe ukanali mnyamata, koma iyeyu ndi amene wakhala akumenya nkhondo kuyambira unyamata wake.”
34 Gake David gblɔ na Saul be, “Wò dɔla nɔ fofoa ƒe alẽwo kplɔm. Ne dzata alo sisiblisi va eye wòlé alẽ le alẽha la me la,
Koma Davide anati kwa Sauli, “Kapolo wanune ndinkaweta nkhosa za abambo anga. Ndipo mkango kapena chimbalangondo chikamabwera ndi kugwira mwana wankhosa pakati pa nkhosazo,
35 metia eyome ƒonɛ ƒua anyi heɖea alẽ la le eƒe nu me. Ke ne etrɔ ɖe ŋutinye la, meléa eƒe kɔdza ƒonɛ kple kpo hewunɛ.
ine ndinkatsatira ndi kupha chirombocho. Choncho ndinkapulumutsa mwana wankhosa uja mʼkamwa mwake. Ndipo chinkati chikandiwukira, ine ndinkagwira tchowa lake, nʼkuchikantha mpaka kuchipha.
36 Wò dɔla wu dzata kple sisiblisi eya ta anɔ na Filistitɔ bolotɔ sia hã abe woawo ke ene elabena eɖe alɔme le Mawu gbagbe la ƒe aʋalɔgowo ŋu.
Ine kapolo wanu ndinapha mkango ngakhalenso chimbalangondo. Tsono Mfilisiti wosachita mdulidweyu adzaphedwa monga zinazo chifukwa wanyoza ankhondo a Mulungu wamoyo.
37 Yehowa, ame si ɖeam tso dzata kple sisiblisi ƒe fewo kple aɖuwo me la, kee aɖem tso Filistitɔ sia hã si me!”
Yehova amene anandilanditsa mʼkamwa mwa mkango ndi chimbalangondo adzandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa Mfilisiti uyu.” Sauli anati kwa Davide, “Pita, ndipo Yehova akhale nawe.”
38 Ale Saul tsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe aʋawɔwu si ŋu akpoxɔnuwo le la do nɛ eye wòtsɔ kuku si wowɔ kple akɔbli la ɖɔ ɖe ta nɛ.
Ndipo Sauli anamveka Davide mwinjiro wake. Anamuveka zovala zankhondo ndi chipewa cha mkuwa.
39 David do gawu la, ɖɔ akɔblikuku la eye wòta yi ɖe gawu la dzi. Eɖe afɔ ɖeka, eve be yeate zɔzɔ le awuawo me kpɔ elabena medo wo kpɔ o. Egblɔ na Saul be, “Nyemate ŋu ayi kple nu siawo o elabena wo dodo memam o.” Ale David ɖe nuawo da ɖi eye wòdze mɔ.
Davide anamangirira lupanga pa mwinjirowo. Atayesa kuyenda nazo, analephera chifukwa anali asanazizolowere. Iye anati kwa Sauli, “Sindingathe kuyenda nazo chifukwa sindinazizolowere.” Ndipo anazivula.
40 Tete wòtsɔ eƒe atizɔti ɖe asi eye wotia kpe zɔzrɔ̃e atɔ̃ tso tɔʋu la me hetsɔ wo de alẽkplɔlawo ƒe akplo me eye wòtsɔ eƒe aŋetu ɖe asi hezɔ ɖe Filistitɔ la dzi.
Pambuyo pake anatenga ndodo yake mʼmanja. Kenaka anasankha miyala yosalala bwino mu mtsinje ndi kuyiika mʼthumba lake la ku ubusa. Legeni ili mʼmanja mwake, Davide ananyamuka kukakumana ndi Mfilisiti uja.
41 Goliat, Filistitɔ la zɔ ɖo ta David gbɔ, eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla nɔ ŋgɔ nɛ.
Tsono Mfilisiti uja anayambapo kupita kumene kunali Davide, mnyamata wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo ali patsogolo pake.
42 Ekpɔ David ɖa eye wòkpɔ be ɖevi dzaa aɖe ko wònye, ele kpokploe eye wòdze ɖeka, eya ta wòdo vloe.
Mfilisitiyo atangomuona Davide, anamunyoza popeza kuti Davide anali mnyamata chabe wofiirira ndi wa maonekedwe abwino.
43 Goliat do ɣli bia David be, “Avue menye hafi nètsɔ kpo ɖe ŋunyea?” Eyɔ woƒe mawuwo ƒe ŋkɔwo tsɔ ƒo fi de David.
Iye anati kwa Davide, “Kodi ndine galu, kuti ubwere kwa ine ndi ndodo?” Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anamutemberera Davide potchula mayina a milungu yake.
44 Eyi edzi gblɔ be. “Te va afi sia eye matsɔ wò lã ana dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo!”
Iye anatinso, “Bwera kuno ndipo ndidzapereka mnofu wako kwa mbalame zamlengalenga ndi kwa zirombo zakuthengo!”
45 David do ɣli gblɔ na Filistitɔ la be, “Wò la, ègbɔna gbɔnye kple yi, akplɔ nuevee kple akplɔ nuɖekɛ, gake nye la, megbɔna gbɔwò le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Aʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu la ame si ŋu nèɖe alɔme le la ƒe ŋkɔ me.
Koma Davide anati kwa Mfilisitiyo, “Iwe wabwera kwa ine ndi lupanga, mkondo ndi nthungo, koma ine ndikubwera kwa iwe mʼdzina la Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa ankhondo Aisraeli amene iwe ukuwanyoza.
46 Egbe la, Yehowa atsɔ wò ade asi nam, maƒo wò aƒu anyi, atso ta le nuwò. Egbe la, matsɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo ƒe kukua ana dziƒoxeviwo kple anyigbadzilãwo, ekema xexea me katã anyae be Mawu aɖe le Israel.
Anatinso lero lino Yehova adzakupereka mʼmanja mwanga. Ndidzakukantha ndi kudula mutu wako. Ndidzapereka mitembo ya asilikali a Afilisti kwa mbalame za mlengalenga, ndi kwa zirombo zakuthengo ndipo dziko lonse lapansi lidzadziwa kuti mu Israeli muli Mulungu.
47 Ale ame siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi sia la woanyae be menye yi alo akplɔ Yehowa tsɔna ɖea ame o, elabena aʋa la nye Yehowa tɔ eye wòatsɔ mi katã ade mía si me.”
Onse amene asonkhana pano adzadziwa kuti Mulungu sapulumutsa anthu ndi lupanga kapena mkondo, pakuti nkhondo ndi ya Yehova. Iye adzakuperekani mʼmanja mwathu.”
48 Esi Filistitɔ la gbɔna be yeadze David dzi la, David zɔ kaba yi be yeakpe aʋa kplii.
Mfilisitiyo akusendera pafupi kuti akumane naye, Davideyo anathamangira mofulumira ku mzere wa nkhondo kukakumana naye.
49 Eƒo asi ɖe eƒe alẽkplɔgolo la me, tsɔ kpe ɖeka de eƒe aŋetu la me eye wòdae. Kpe la dze Goliat, Filistitɔ la ƒe ŋgonu sesĩe eye wòŋɔe ge ɖe eme. Goliat mu dze anyi gbloo hetsyɔ mo anyi.
Davideyo anapisa dzanja lake mʼthumba lake natengamo mwala ndipo anawuponya, nalasa pa mphumi pa Mfilisitiyo. Mwalawo unalowa pa chipumi chake, ndipo anagwa chafufumimba.
50 Ale David ɖu Filistitɔ la dzi kple aŋetu kple kpe ɖeka, yi menɔ esi o gake ekpe le Filistitɔ la dzi eye wòwui.
Kotero Davide anamupambana Mfilisitiyo pomugenda ndi mwala wa legeni ndi kumupha. Mʼmanja mwa Davide munalibe lupanga.
51 David ƒu du yi ɖe Filistitɔ la gbɔ, eɖe Goliat ŋutɔ ƒe yi le aku me eye wòwui hetso ta le enu. Esi Filistitɔwo kpɔ be yewoƒe kalẽtɔ la ku la, wotrɔ megbe eye wosi dzo.
Davide anathamanga nakayimirira pamwamba pa Mfilisiti uja. Anasolola lupanga lake lomwe moyikamo mwake, namupha pomudula mutu wake. Afilisti ataona kuti ngwazi yawo yafa, anathawa.
52 Tete Israel kple Yuda ŋutsuwo lũ ɖe eme kple ɣli eye woti Filistitɔwo yome va se ɖe Gat kple Ekron ƒe agbowo nu. Filistitɔwo ƒe kukuawo kaka ɖe Saaraim kple Gat mɔ dzi va se ɖe Ekron ke.
Ndipo Aisraeli ndi anthu a ku Yuda ananyamuka, ndipo akufuwula anathamangitsa Afilisti aja mpaka ku Gati ndi ku zipata za Ekroni. Anthu akufa awo amagwa njira yonse ya ku Saaraimu mpaka ku Gati ndi ku Ekroni.
53 Israelviwo trɔ le Filistitɔwo yome eye wova ha nuwo le woƒe asaɖa me.
Aisraeli anabwerako kothamangitsa Afilisti kuja ndipo anadzatenga zonse zimene zinali mʼmisasa ya Afilistiwo.
54 David tsɔ Filistitɔ la ƒe ta eye wòtsɔe yi Yerusalem ke etsɔ Filistitɔ la ƒe aʋawɔnuwo da ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe agbadɔ me.
Pambuyo pake Davide anatenga mutu wa Mfilisitiyo napita nawo ku Yerusalemu, koma anayika zida za Mfilisitiyo mu tenti yake.
55 Esi Saul kpɔ David wòyina aʋa wɔ ge kple Goliat la, ebia Abner, eƒe aʋafia be, “Abner, ame kae nye ɖekakpui sia fofo?” Abner ɖo eŋu be, “O fia, meta wò agbe. Nyemenya o.”
Sauli ataona Davide akupita kukakumana ndi Mfilisitiyo anafunsa Abineri, mkulu wa ankhondo kuti, “Abineri, kodi mnyamatayu ndi mwana wa yani?” Abineri anayankha kuti, “Ndithu mfumu muli apa ine sindikumudziwa.”
56 Fia Saul gblɔ nɛ be, “Bia ame si ɖekakpui sia fofo nye la ta nam.”
Mfumu inati, “Pita kafufuze kuti mnyamata ameneyu ndi mwana wa yani.”
57 Esi David trɔ tso Filistitɔ la wuƒe gbɔ teti ko la Abner kplɔe va Fia Saul gbɔe le esime Filistitɔ la ƒe ta ganɔ David si ko.
Davide atangobwerako kokapha Mfilisiti kuja, Abineri anamutenga nabwera naye kwa Sauli, mutu wa Mfilisiti uja uli mʼmanja mwake.
58 Saul bia David be, “Ɖekakpui, ame ka vie nenye?” David ɖo eŋu be, “Wò dɔla, Yese, si tso Betlehem la vie menye.”
Sauli anamufunsa, “Mnyamata iwe, kodi paja ndiwe mwana wayani?” Davide anati, “Ndine mwana wa mtumiki wanu Yese wa ku Betelehemu.”
