16 Omu vaze valuwa vengilile muzuvo yaNdavichi, vawanyine hakahela hali telafwime,* kaha nawa haze asachililenga Ndavichi mutwe hali chikuto chamangona avapembe.
17 Ngocho Saulu ambile kuli Mikale ngwenyi: “Ika unangulelevekela nakwechelela muka-kole wami+ achine?” Oloze Mikale akumbulwile Saulu ngwenyi: “Angulwezanga ngwenyi, ‘Ngweche nguyenga, nge chiku nangukujiha.’”
18 Jino Ndavichi achinyine, ayile kuli Samwele kuLama.+ Kaha amuhichililemo vyuma vyosena vize amulingile Saulu. Kufumaho Ndavichi naSamwele vayile nakutwama kuNayote.+
19 Kutwala muze, Saulu evwile ngwavo: “Ndavichi ali kuNayote muLama.”
20 Hahaze vene, atumine valuwa jenyi vakakwate Ndavichi. Omu vamwene vapolofweto vavakulwane vali nakupolofweta, kaha nawa Samwele nemana, ali nakuvatwaminyina, shipilitu yaKalunga yejile hali ava valuwa jaSaulu, ngocho navakiko vaputukile kulinga nge muze valingilenga vapolofweto.
