Dhavhidhi akapindura Ahimereki muprista akati, “Mambo akandirayira rimwe shoko akati kwandiri, ‘Hapana anofanira kuziva kana chinhu pamusoro pezvawafambira uye zvawarayirwa.’ Asi kana vari vanhu vangu, ndakavataurira kuti vasangane neni pane imwe nzvimbo.
3 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ ũrĩ nakĩo gĩa kũrĩa? He mĩgate ĩtano, kana o kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩhota kuona.”
Pari zvino chiiko chamunacho pano? Ndipeiwo zvingwa zvishanu, kana chipi zvacho chamungawana.”
4 No mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio agĩcookeria Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ na mĩgate ĩrĩa ĩhũthĩirwo kũrĩĩo, no rĩrĩ, haha nĩ harĩ mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre, angĩkorwo andũ acio matihutanĩtie na andũ-a-nja.”
Asi muprista akapindura Dhavhidhi akati, “Handina chingwa zvachowo pano; asi pano pane chingwa chakatsaurwa, ndokunge vanhu vakazvichengeta kubva kuvakadzi.”
5 Daudi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ tũtikoretwo hamwe na andũ-a-nja, o ta ũrĩa arĩ mũtugo witũ rĩrĩa rĩothe ngumagara. Indo cia andũ aya nĩ theru o na gũtuĩka marĩ mawĩra-inĩ matarĩ maamũre. Ũmũthĩ indo ciao itikĩrĩ nyamũre makĩria!”

6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio akĩmũnengera mĩgate ĩyo mĩamũre, nĩgũkorwo hau hatiarĩ na mĩgate ĩngĩ tiga mĩgate ĩrĩa yaigagwo mbere ya Jehova, na nĩyeheretio mbere ya Jehova mũthenya ũcio, na hakaigwo mĩgate ĩngĩ mĩhiũ.

Zvino mumwe wavaranda vaSauro akanga aripo pazuva iro, amiswa pamberi paJehovha; akanga ari Dhoegi muEdhomu, mufudzi mukuru waSauro.
8 Daudi akĩũria Ahimeleku atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũtarĩ na itimũ kana rũhiũ rwa njora haha? Ndinooka na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora kana kĩndũ kĩngĩ kĩa mbaara, nĩ ũndũ wĩra wa mũthamaki uuma wa ihenya.”

9 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Goliathũ, Mũfilisti ũrĩa woragĩire Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Ela, rũrĩ haha; naruo ruohetwo na taama rũkaigwo thuutha wa ebodi. Angĩkorwo nĩũkũrwenda-rĩ, ruoe; gũtirĩ na rũhiũ rũngĩ rwa njora tiga o rũu.” Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ rũhiũ rũngĩ taruo; kĩrũũnengere.”
Muprista akapindura akati, “Munondo waGoriati muFiristia, uya wawakauraya muMupata weEra, uri pano; wakaputirwa mumucheka seri kweefodhi; kana uchiuda, tora hako; hapana munondo pano kunze kwaiwoyo.” Dhavhidhi akati, “Hakuna mumwe wakafanana nawo; ndipei iwoyo.”
