23 Bino by’ebinywa by’omwiso bya Daudi:
“Ebinywa bya Daudi mughala wa Yese,Ebinywa by’omulume oyo wahirawa omo mwanya w’endata,Oyo oMungu wa Yakobo ahirako amaghuta,Omulume oyo bandu babya bakanza eryowa akimba esyonyimbo sye Israeli.
2 Ekirimu kya Yehova mukyabugha erilabira ingye,Ebinywa biwe byabya oko lulimi lwaghe.
3 OMungu we Israeli mwabugha;Olubwe* lwe Israeli mulwambwira luti:
‘Omughulu omutunganene akatabala abandu,Neryo iniatabala inianemusagha oMungu,
4 Bikabya ng’omughulu ekyakakala ky’omo tututu kikahuluka, omughulu eryuba rikaka,Bikabya ng’etututu eyitemo kitu.
Bikabya ng’omughulu bukakya embula yabikya,Neryo ebiti ibyalasa.’
5 OMungu kw’akalangira atya ekihanda kyaghe,
Kundi abirikola endaghane ya kera na kera haghuma naghe,Endaghane eyisikire kandi eyitendisyabula eribererera,
Endaghane eyo yo yikaleka inasabulwa omo byosi n’eritsema omo myatsi yosi,Ebyo byo bikaleka endaghane eyo iyabogha.
6 Aliwe ebiwere-were byosi bikendisyaghuswa ngoko omundu akaghusa amahwa,Amahwa ogho omundu ateangahamba omo byala.
7 Omundu amasonda eritula kugho,Ritolere iniabya n’ekindu ky’ekyuma n’omuti w’eritumo,Akendisyatimibwa aho ali.”
8 Aya w’amena w’abasuda basatu b’amaka ba Daudi: Ow’erimbere abya Bashebeti Omutakemoni, yo wabya mukulu w’abasatu. Kiro kighuma, mwita abandu 800 omo ritumo riwe.

16 Neryo abasuda biwe basatu b’amaka mubakola ekyosi-kyosi batoke eringira omo kambi y’Abafilistini. Mubateha amaghetse omo kyuna ky’amaghetse ekiri hakuhi n’omulango we Betlehemu. Enyuma sy’aho, mubaleteragho Daudi. Aliwe mwaghana erinywagho, amutagho embere sya Yehova.
