11Aho ntiwirebeye ko Uwiteka yari agutanze mu maboko yanjye uyu munsi, ubwo wari uri mu buvumo? Ndetse hariho abambwiye kukwica ariko ndakubabarira, ndavuga nti ‘Sindi burambureukubokokwanjye kuri databuja, kuko ari we Uwiteka yimikishije amavuta.’
12Kandi data, dore n'ikinyita cy'umwambaro wawe, ndagifite mu ntoki, ubwo nageshe ikinyita cy'umwambaro wawe sinkwice. Nukoumenye kandiurebeko nta kibi cyangwaubugomebindiho, kandi sinagucumuyehonubwouhigiraubugingo bwanjye kubukuraho.

15Mbeseumwami wa Isirayeli ateye nde? Uwo ahiga ni nde? Ni intumbi y'imbwa, n'imbaragasa.
16Nuko Uwiteka abeumucamanza wacu aducireurubanza, yitegereze amburanire, ankize amaboko yawe.”
17Nuko Dawidi amaze kubwira Sawuli ayo magambo, Sawuli aravuga ati “Yewe mwana wanjye Dawidi, iryo jwi ni iryawe?”Maze Sawuli acuraumuborogo ararira.
18Aherako abwira Dawidi ati “Undushije gukiranuka kukounyituye ineza, ariko jye nkakwitura inabi.
19Kandi uyu munsi weruye inezaungirira kukoutanyishe, naho Uwiteka yantanze mu maboko yawe.
20Mbeseumuntu yabonaumwanzi we, yapfa kumurekaagacika gusa? Nuko Uwiteka akugororere ibyiza ku byounkoreye uyu munsi.
21Kandi rero nzi yukoutazabura kubaumwami, kandi koubwami bwa Isirayeli buzakomezwa mu kubokokwawe.
22Nuko none ndahira Uwiteka koutazarimburaurubyaro rwanjye, kandi koutazasibanganya izina ryanjye mu nzu ya data.”
23Dawidi aramurahira.
Nuko Sawuli asubiraiwe, Dawidi n'abantu be bazamuka bajya mu gihome.
