WUNALHANGIRE ekyamabiribya? Omulhwana amabirilhamya ekyana ky’embuli ky’okwa dubu. Edubu muyasa n’eriheka ekyana ky’embuli kandi yanza eriyakirya. Aliriryo omulhwana mwa thibitha kuyo, n’erilhamya ekyana ky’embuli ky’omwa bunu bw’edubu. Neryo edubu yabere yimuka, omulhwana mwahambayo n’eriswiryayo n’eriholeraho! Okwa wundi mughulhu mwalhamya enguma okwa syambuli erilhua okwa ndale. Oyu si mulhwana embangi? Wunasi nga nindi?

Ono ni Dawudi omulhwana mulere. Ikire omwa muyi we Betelehemu. Sukulhu wiwe yuwabya Obedi, mughalha wa Ruta na Boazi. Wunabibukire? Na thatha wa Dawudi ya Yese. Dawudi akatheghaya esyambuli sya thatha wiwe. Dawudi abuthawa enyuma w’ebirimo ikumi Yehova asombwere Saulo eribya mwami.

Endambi yikahika neryo Yehova akabwira Samweli athi: ‘Imaya amaghutha aw’embaghane wughende omwa nyumba ya Yese e Betelehemu. Nabiri sombolha omughuma w’oku baghalha biwe eribya mwami.’ Samweli akabya alhangira mughalha wa Yese omukulhu omw’abosi ya Eriabu, akayibwira athi: ‘Ono kwenene ya Yehova abirisombolha.’ Aliriryo Yehova akamubwira athi: ‘Si wuthungerere obuli bwiwe n’obubuya bwiwe. Sindi thamusombolha eribya mwami.’

Neryo Yese akabirikira mughalha wiwe Abinadabu n’erimulethera Samweli. Aliriryo Samweli akabugha athi: ‘Eyihi n’oyu Nyamuhanga syathamusombolha.’ Kandi, Yese akathasya letha mughalha wiwe Sama. Samweli athi: ‘Eyihi n’oyu nayu Nyamuhanga syathamusombolha.’ Yese akalethera Samweli y’abaghalha biwe irinda, aliriryo Yehova syatha sombolhamu n’omughuma. Samweli akabulhaya athi: ‘Aba b’abalhwana abosi?’

Yese akasubiraya athi: ‘Yikine omulere omwa bosi. Aliriryo ane omwa bwerere akalisaya esyambuli.’ Bakabya babiri letha Dawudi, Samweli akalhangira athi ni mulhwana mubuya okw’ameso. Yehova akabugha athi: ‘Yono. Muthe kw’amaghutha.’ Na Samweli kw’akakolha athya. Endambi yikendi syahika omughulhu Dawudi asyabya mwami we Israeli.
