Afilisti anasonkhanitsa ankhondo awo ku Soko mʼdziko la Yuda. Iwo anamanga misasa yawo ku Efesi-Damimu, pakati pa Soko ndi Azeka.
2 Hagi Soli'ene Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Ela agupofi seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'ne'za, Filistia vahera hara huzmante'naku manimpi hu'za vu'naze.
Sauli ndi Aisraeli anasonkhana namanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Ela ndipo anandandalitsa ankhondo kuti amenyane ndi Afilisti.
3 Hagi mago agonarera Filistia vahe'mo'za eme otizageno, mago kaziga agonarega Israeli vahe'mo'za eme oti'zageno amu'no zamifina agupo me'ne.
Afilisti anali phiri lina ndipo Aisraeli analinso phiri lina, ndipo pakati pawo panali chigwa.
4 Hagi ha'pina agimo marerisa nera Gati nagapinti ne' Goliati'a Filistia vahe seli nonkumapinti atiramino e'ne. Ana nera zaza amo'a 2mitagi 75 sentimita hu'ne.
Tsono munthu wina wamphamvu, dzina lake Goliati wochokera ku Gati anatuluka ku misasa ya Afilisti. Msinkhu wake unali pafupipafupi mamita atatu.
5 Hagi agra bronsireti tro hu'naza fetori asenirera nentanino, nozame ahehemo'ma hu'neaza hu'za ha' kukena bronsireti tro hu'nazana kna'amo'a 57ni'a kilogremi hu'nea kukena antanine.
Iye ankavala chipewa chamkuwa ndi malaya achitsulo olemera makilogalamu 57.
6 Hagi amoteti urami'nea aga nona bronsire tro hu'naza nentanino, bronsireti tro hu'naza krugru keve afumpina eri'ne.
Ankavalanso zokuta miyendo yake zamkuwa, ndipo ankanyamula nthungo ya mkuwa pa phewa pake.
7 Hagi ana keve'amofo asana'amo'a kukenama tro'ma nehaza masinimofo zafa'agna higeno, atohe'nea keve agona'amofo kna'amo'a 7 kilogremi hu'ne. Hagi hanko'ama erino vu ne'mo avuga vu'ne.
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 Hagi Goliati'a eme otino anage huno Israeli vahera kezati zami'ne, Tamagra na'ante hara hunakura manimpia huta mani'naze? Tamagra Soli eri'za vahe manizage'na, nagra Filistia sondia ne' mani'noe. Hagi tamagra mago ne' huntenkeno eramino hara nagranena eme hino.
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 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma ha'ma eme hunanteno nahe frisigeta, tagra tamagri kazokzo eri'za vahe umanigahune. Hagi nagrama ana ne'ma ahe frisugeta, tamagra tagri kazokzo eri'za vahe manigahaze.
Ngati angathe kumenyana nane ndi kundipha, ife tidzakhala akapolo anu, koma ngati ine ndimugonjetsa ndi kumupha, inu mudzakhala akapolo athu ndi kumatitumikira.”
10 Anante Goliati'a huno, Menina Israeli vahe'mota hara huramante'na ke'za huanki, mago ne' huntenkeno ena, hara ha'mneno!
Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anati, “Bwerani lero timenyane basi! Patseni munthu kuti ndimenyane naye.”
11 Hagi Soli'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'za anankema nentahi'za, zamagogogu nehu'za tusi kore hu'naze.
Atamva mawu a Mfilisitiyo, Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anataya mtima nachita mantha kwambiri.
12 Hagi Deviti'a Jesi nemofo Efrata nagapinti Betlehemu kumate ne'kino, Judia mopafinti nere. Hagi Jesi'a 8'a mofavre zamante'neankino, agra Soli'ma kini mani'nea knafina ozafare'ne.
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 Hagi Jesina kota 3'a mofavrezaga Eliabuki Abinadapuki Samaki hu'za Filistia vahe'ene ha' hunaku Soli sondia vahe'ene umani'naze.
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 Hagi ana 3'a kota mofavreramimo'za Soli avariri'za hate vu'naze. Hagi Jesi mofavre nagapina Deviti'a henka amitena ne' mani'ne.
Davide ndiye anali mzime. Ana aakulu atatuwo ndiwo anapita ku nkhondo ndi Sauli.
15 Hagi Deviti'a Soli eri'zama e'neriretira nefantega Betlehemu vutere nehuno, nefa sipisipia ome kegava hu'ne.
Koma Davide ankapita ku misasa ya Sauli ndi kubwerako kuti azikaweta nkhosa za abambo ake ku Betelehemu.
16 Hagi Goliati'a 40'a zagegnafi nanterane kinaganena eme otino Israeli vahe'mo'za mago ne'ma hunte'nageno e'nigeno ha'ma hanakura ke'zankea hutere hu'ne.
Kwa masiku makumi anayi, Mfilisiti uja ankabwera mmawa ndi madzulo kumadzionetsera.
17 Hagi mago kna Jesi'a anage huno Devitina asami'ne, Ama 10ni'a kilogremi witi ragama kre hagage hunte'ene, 10ni'a breti kona erinka nempukamo'za sondia vahe'enema seli nonkuma ome ante'za mani'nazarega ame hunka vunka ome zamio.
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 Hagi eri karagefe amirinena 10ni'a erinenka, sondia vahete kva nemofona ome neminka, nempukamo'za inankna hu'za mani'nafi ome zamagetenka eme nasamio.
Utengerenso wolamulira wa gulu lawo tchizi khumi uyu. Ukaone mmene abale ako akukhalira ndipo ubwere ndi kanthu kosonyeza kuti ali bwino.
19 Hagi zamagra Soli'ene mika Israeli sondia vahe'enena Ela agupofi Filistia vahe ha'huzmante'naku umani'naze.
Sauli, abale akowo ndi asilikali onse a Israeli ali ku chigwa cha Ela, akumenyana ndi Afilisti.”
20 Hagi nanterana Deviti'a otino kegavama hanaza vahe zamazampi sipisipi kevu'a netreno, Jesi'ma asamia kante anteno maka'zana e'nerino vu'ne. Hagi ana seli nonkuma'ma ante'za mani'nare uhanatiana, miko sondia vahe'mo'za ha' ome hunaku rankege hu'za vu'naze.
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 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'ene Filistia sondia vahe'mo'zanena ha'hunaku rugaraga umanimpi emanimpi hu'naze.
Aisraeli ndi Afilisti anandanda pa mzere wankhondo moyangʼanana.
22 Hagi Deviti'a fenoma kegava nehia nete nanazama'a ome netreno, ana ha'ma hu'za nehazarega vuno nempu'amokizmi ome hu frufra huzmantenaku vu'ne.
Tsono Davide anasiyira zakudya zija munthu wosunga katundu nathamangira kumene kunali ankhondo kuja ndi kukalonjera abale ake.
23 Hagi Deviti'a anama nempu a'mozanema keagama ome nehigeno, Gati nagapinti ha'pima agima me'nea Filistia ne' Goliati'a eno ko'ma kema nehiaza huno Israeli sondia vahekura kea eme nehigeno, Deviti'a antahine.
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 Hagi mika Israeli sondia vahe'mo'zama ana ne'ma nege'za, zamagogogu nehu'za atre'za fre'za e'naze.
Aisraeli ataona munthuyo, anamuthawa ndi mantha aakulu.
25 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamagra zamagra hu'za, E'i ne'ma, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri zamarimpa ahenaku'ma eterema nehia ne'ma ahesia ne'mofona kini ne'mo'a rama'a fenozana nemino, mofa'anena aminkeno, a' erintena naga'amo'za takisi zagoa mi'zana osugahaze.
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 Hagi Deviti'a anante oti'naza sondia vahera zamantahigeno, Antu Filistia ne'ma aheno Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri zamagaze nehiazama eritresia nera na'a kini ne'mo'a huntegahie? Hagi oku avufga taga osu Filistia vahe'mo'a mani'nea Anumzamofo sondia vahera huhavizana huontegahie.
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 Hige'za kenona hunte'za, E'ima kasamiza kante anteno, ana ne'ma ahe frisia vahera kini ne'mo'a huntegahie.
Anthu anamuwuzanso zonse zimene mfumu inanena kuti idzachitira munthu amene adzapha Mfilisitiyo.
28 Hagi ana vahe'enema Deviti'ma kegaga nehigeno nempu'amo Eliabu'ma nentahino'a, tusi arimpa Devitina ahenenteno anage hu'ne, Na'ante amafina e'nane? Iza sipisipi nagara kegava higenka trampina zamatrenka e'nane? Nagra antahi'noe, kefo antahi'zankamo higenka kagra kavufgara ra hunka ha'mofo uruha hunaku amafina e'nane.
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 Higeno Deviti'a kenona hunteno, Nagra amne zamantahinegoanki, na'a hu'noe?
Davide anati, “Kodi ndachita chiyani ine? Kodi ndisamayankhule?”
30 Anage nehuno ete rukrahe huno mago'amokizmi ome zamantahigege'za, ko'ma hu'naza kante ante'za ana nanekege asami'naze.
Ndipo anamuchokera napita kwa munthu wina ndipo anamufunsa nkhani yomweyo, ndipo anthu anamuyankha iye monga poyamba paja.
31 Hagi Deviti'ma hu'nea nanekea mago'a vahe'mo'za nentahi'za Solina ome asamizageno, Soli'a vahe huzmanteno ome avreta eho hige'za, vu'za ome avre'za azageno,
Mawu amene Davide anayankhula atamveka, anthu anakafotokozera Sauli ndipo Sauli anamuyitanitsa.
32 Deviti'a Solina asamino, Mago vahe'mo'a antu ana Filistia nekura korera osino, nagra eri'za ne'kamo'na hara ome huntegahue.
Davide anati kwa Sauli, “Munthu aliyense asataye mtima chifukwa cha Mfilisitiyu. Ine kapolo wanu ndipita kukamenyana naye.”
33 Higeno Soli'a kenona hunteno, Kagra mofavre mani'nanankinka antu ana nera hara ome huontegahane. Agra nehazavema mani'neregati hara huno manino e'nea ne' mani'ne.
Sauli anayankha Davide kuti, “Iwe sungathe kupita kukamenyana ndi Mfilisitiyu. Iwe ukanali mnyamata, koma iyeyu ndi amene wakhala akumenya nkhondo kuyambira unyamata wake.”
34 Anage higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, Nenfa sipisipima kvama hu'na eri'za vahekamo'na mani'nogenoma, sipisipi kevufinti'ma laionimo'o Beamo'ma mago'ma eme avreno nevige'na,
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 rotago hu'na agipinti ome ahena avre'na e'noe. Hagi rukrehe'ma huno nampri'zama hige'na agemazampa azokate vamagi'na azeri'nena ahe fri'noe.
ine ndinkatsatira ndi kupha chirombocho. Choncho ndinkapulumutsa mwana wankhosa uja mʼkamwa mwake. Ndipo chinkati chikandiwukira, ine ndinkagwira tchowa lake, nʼkuchikantha mpaka kuchipha.
36 Hagi kinimoka nagra laionine beanema ahenoankna hu'na, agoza ano taga osu Filistia nera ahegahue. Na'ankure agra mani'nea Anumzamofo sondia vahe huhavizana hunte'ne.
Ine kapolo wanu ndinapha mkango ngakhalenso chimbalangondo. Tsono Mfilisiti wosachita mdulidweyu adzaphedwa monga zinazo chifukwa wanyoza ankhondo a Mulungu wamoyo.
37 Mago'ane Deviti'a huno, beane laionimofo azampinti'ma nazama hu'nea Ra Anumzamo naza huno antu Filistia ne'mofo azampintira nagu'vazigahie. Anage higeno Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a kagrane manigahianki vuo.
Yehova amene anandilanditsa mʼkamwa mwa mkango ndi chimbalangondo adzandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa Mfilisiti uyu.” Sauli anati kwa Davide, “Pita, ndipo Yehova akhale nawe.”
38 Nehuno Soli'a agra'a kukena hunenteno, bronsireti tro hu'naza fetori'a Devitina antaninenteno, ha' kukena hunte'ne.
Ndipo Sauli anamveka Davide mwinjiro wake. Anamuveka zovala zankhondo ndi chipewa cha mkuwa.
39 Hagi Deviti'a ana kukena huno onke'neankino, za'za kukenare bainati kazina renenteno, vuno eno huno ke'ne. Hianagi knarera huontegeno Solina asamino, nagra ama'na kukena hu'na onke'noa zanki'na, antanina hara ome osugahue, nehuno Deviti'a ana zantamina zafitre'ne.
Davide anamangirira lupanga pa mwinjirowo. Atayesa kuyenda nazo, analephera chifukwa anali asanazizolowere. Iye anati kwa Sauli, “Sindingathe kuyenda nazo chifukwa sindinazizolowere.” Ndipo anazivula.
40 Anantetira azompa'a enerino, osi kraho timpinti 5fu'a pehe hu'nea haverami ome zogino ku'afi erinerino, azampina kao akrutetima tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza ati'a e'nerino, ana Filistia ne'ma mani'nerega vu'ne.
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 Hagi Goliatina hanko'ama e'neria ne' egota higeno, agra amefi'a Devitintega e'ne.
Tsono Mfilisiti uja anayambapo kupita kumene kunali Davide, mnyamata wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo ali patsogolo pake.
42 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma Devitima keana, avufgamo'a knare huno masamasa huno hentofaza hu'nea nehaza ne' negeno, hara huga osu'ne huno Devitina kefenkami atre'ne.
Mfilisitiyo atangomuona Davide, anamunyoza popeza kuti Davide anali mnyamata chabe wofiirira ndi wa maonekedwe abwino.
43 Hagi ana Filistia ne'mo'a Devitina asamino, Nagra kra mani'nogenka azomparetira hara hunante'naku ne'ano? Nehuno agra'a anumzamofo agifi Devitima azeri haviza hanigu kazusi ke hunenteno,
Iye anati kwa Davide, “Kodi ndine galu, kuti ubwere kwa ine ndi ndodo?” Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anamutemberera Davide potchula mayina a milungu yake.
44 amanage hu'ne, Kagra are ege'na kagrira kahena kavufga harezama vanoma nehaza namazagane, mopafima vanoma nehaza afi zagane zami'nena negahaze.
Iye anatinso, “Bwera kuno ndipo ndidzapereka mnofu wako kwa mbalame zamlengalenga ndi kwa zirombo zakuthengo!”
45 Higeno Deviti'a kenona'a huno, Kagra nagri'ma nahenakura bainati kazine, karugru kevene hankone erinenka ne'ane. Hianagi nagra kagri'ma ha'ma hugante'naku'ma neona, Israeli sondia vahetamimofo Hanavenentake Ra Anumzama huhaviza hunentana Anumzamofo agifi hara hugante'naku neoe.
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 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nazampi kavrentenkena, kahena knankena akafrigahue. Hagi Filistia sondia vahera menina zamahe'na zamavufaga hare'za vanoma nehaza namaramine, mopafi vanoma nehaza afi zagagafa zami'nena negahaze. E'ina hanuge'za mika kokankoka vahe'mo'za antahi'za ke'zama hanazana, Israeli vahe'mota Anumzana tamage Anumza mani'ne hu'za hugahaze.
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 Hagi ana hanuge'za amama mani'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamo'a bainati kazinteti'ene keveretira tagura ovazigahie hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo hakino, Agra'a hara huramanteno tamagrira tagri tazampi tamavrentegahie.
Onse amene asonkhana pano adzadziwa kuti Mulungu sapulumutsa anthu ndi lupanga kapena mkondo, pakuti nkhondo ndi ya Yehova. Iye adzakuperekani mʼmanja mwathu.”
48 Hagi Goliatima Deviti'ma ahenaku'ma erava'o nehigeno, Deviti'a agareno tava'oma'are nevuno,
Mfilisitiyo akusendera pafupi kuti akumane naye, Davideyo anathamangira mofulumira ku mzere wa nkhondo kukakumana naye.
49 ku'afinti mago have hefino kao akruteti'ma tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza ati'afi erinteno, eri kagigagi huteno matevuno ana Filistia nera aseni rurako huno ahegeno, ana havemo'a asenifi hanagatino ufregeno, avugosaregati mopafi traka huno umasene.
Davideyo anapisa dzanja lake mʼthumba lake natengamo mwala ndipo anawuponya, nalasa pa mphumi pa Mfilisitiyo. Mwalawo unalowa pa chipumi chake, ndipo anagwa chafufumimba.
50 Hagi Deviti'a kao akruteti'ma tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza atifinti Filistia nera ahefrino hara hugatere'ne. Hagi Deviti'a magore huno azampina bainati kazina e'ori'ne.
Kotero Davide anamupambana Mfilisitiyo pomugenda ndi mwala wa legeni ndi kumupha. Mʼmanja mwa Davide munalibe lupanga.
51 Hagi Deviti'a agareno agofetu ome oti'neno, Goliatina bainati kazima'a ku'afinti ome avazu huno ahenefrino, agenopa akafritre'ne. Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'zama kageno hanavenentake ha' ne'ma frige'za zamagra rukrahe hu'za kore fre'naze.
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 Hagi ana'ma hige'za Israeline Juda sondia vahe'mo'za rankezaneti'za Filistia vahera zamarotago hu'za ome zamahetre eme zamahetre hu'za Ekroni kuma kafante uhanati'naze. Hagi ana Filistia vahe'mokizmi zamavufagamo'a Saraimine Gatine Ekroni agupo kantega meno vu'ne.
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 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za zamarotago hu'za Filistia sondia vahera ome zamatrete'za, ete e'za ana Filistia vahe'mo'zama seli nonkuma'zmia atre'za fre'naza kumapima me'nea zantamina eme eri vagare'naze.
Aisraeli anabwerako kothamangitsa Afilisti kuja ndipo anadzatenga zonse zimene zinali mʼmisasa ya Afilistiwo.
54 Hagi Deviti'a Goliati agenopa erino Jerusalemi vu'ne. Hianagi ana ne'mofo ha' zana erino seli noma'afi ome ante'ne.
Pambuyo pake Davide anatenga mutu wa Mfilisitiyo napita nawo ku Yerusalemu, koma anayika zida za Mfilisitiyo mu tenti yake.
55 Hagi Devitima Goliati'ma ha' hunte'naku'ma nevigeno, Soli'ma negeno'a sondia vahete kva ne' Abnana antahigeno, Ami iza mofavre? huno antahigegeno, Abna'a kenona hunteno, kini ne'moka tamage hu'na ami ana risera ke'na antahi'na osu'noe.
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 Higeno Soli'a huno, Iza mofavre mani'nefi vahe ome zamantahigenka go.
Mfumu inati, “Pita kafufuze kuti mnyamata ameneyu ndi mwana wa yani.”
57 Hagi Deviti'ma Goliati'ma ome aheteno ana ne'mofo agenopama azampi e'rineno ne-egeno'a, Abna'a ame huno Devitina avreno Solinte vu'ne.
Davide atangobwerako kokapha Mfilisiti kuja, Abineri anamutenga nabwera naye kwa Sauli, mutu wa Mfilisiti uja uli mʼmanja mwake.
58 Hagi Soli'a Devitina antahigeno, Kagra iza mofavre mani'nane? Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, Betlehemu kumateti kagri eri'za ne'mofo Jesi mofavre mani'noe.
Sauli anamufunsa, “Mnyamata iwe, kodi paja ndiwe mwana wayani?” Davide anati, “Ndine mwana wa mtumiki wanu Yese wa ku Betelehemu.”
