¹Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi wakabvapo akatizira kubako reAdhurami; zvino hama dzake navose veimba yababa vake vakati vachinzwa, vakaburukirako kwaari.

¹Laj David qui-el saß li tenamit Gat ut quixmuk rib saß li ochoch pec li cuan saß li tenamit Adulam. Nak eb lix naß xyucuaß, ut eb li ras, joß eb ajcuiß chixjunileb lix comoneb queßxnau nak laj David cuan aran, queßcôeb riqßuin.

³Zvino Dhavhidhi akabvapo akaenda Mizipa kwaMoabhu; akati kuna mambo waMoabhu, Baba vangu namai vangu ndinokumbira kuti vauye vagare nemi, kusvikira ndaziva chandichaitirwa naMwari.

³Laj David qui-el aran ut cô Mizpa, li cuan aran Moab, chi âtinac riqßuin li rey. Quixye re: —Nintzßâma usilal châcuu nak tâqßue inlesêns chixcanabanquil lin naß ut lin yucuaß âcuiqßuin toj tinnau cßaßru tixbânu cuiqßuin li Dios, chan.

⁹Ipapo Dhoegi muEdhomu, wakange amire navaranda vaSauro, akapindura akati, Ndakaona mwanakomana waJese achisvika Nobhi, kuna Ahimereki mwanakomana waAitubi.

⁹Cuan aran laj Doeg li nataklan saß xbêneb li nequeßiloc re lix quetômk laj Saúl. Edom xtenamit. Laj Doeg quixye re laj Saúl: —Xcuil nak xcuulac li ralal laj Isaí aran Nob riqßuin laj Ahimelec li ralal laj Ahitob.
