Yehowa wakambila Samuele ne: ‘Ndaku ku nzubu kua Yishai. Umue wa ku bana bende ba balume ke walua mukalenge wa Isalele.’ Nunku Samuele wakaya kua Yishai. Pakamonaye muanende muanabute, wakadiambila ne: ‘Nsongalume eu ke yeye.’ Kadi Yehowa wakambila Samuele ne: ki nyeye to. Yehowa wakamba kabidi ne: ‘Meme ndi mmona tshidi mu muoyo wa muntu, kadi ki nganu tshimuenekelu tshiende to.’

Yishai wakatuadila Samuele bana bende bakuabu basambombo. Kadi Samuele wakamba ne: ‘Yehowa ki mmusungule nansha umue wa kudibu to. Udiku ne bana bakuabu anyi?’ Ke Yishai kumuambila ne: ‘Ndi ne muana mukuabu, wanyi wa mukala, diende n’Davidi. Udi pambelu udisha mikoko yanyi.’ Pakabuela Davidi mu nzubu, Yehowa wakambila Samuele ne: ‘nyeye au!’ Ke Samuele kupongoluela Davidi manyi pa mutu, kumuelaye manyi bua alue mukalenge wa Isalele.

Panyima pa matuku, bena Isalele kuyabu kuluangana ne bena Peleshete bavua ne tshilobo tshia mvita tshivuabu babikila ne: Goleyata, tshivua tshibaluila mvita. Goleyata uvua uyobola bena Isalele ku dituku ne ku dituku. Kuelaye lubila wamba ne: ‘Ntuminayi muntu tuluangane nende. Yeye muntshimune, netulue bapika benu. Kadi meme mumutshimune, nuenu nenulue bapika betu.’

Davidi wakaya ku tshitudilu tshia basalayi ba bena Isalele bua kupesha bana babu ba balume bavua basalayi biakudia. Kumvuaye bivua Goleyata wamba, ke yeye kuamba ne: ‘Meme ndi nya kuluangana nende!’ Mukalenge Shaula kumuambilaye ne: ‘Kadi si utshidi muana  mutekete.’ Davidi kumuandamuna ne: ‘Yehowa neangambuluishe.’

Shaula wakapesha Davidi bia mvita biende bua abivuale, kadi Davidi wakamuambila ne: ‘Tshiena nkumbana bua kuluangana muvuale bia mvita ebi to.’ Davidi wakangata ndundu wende wa kukupa nende mabue, kupuekaye ku musulu. Kusungulaye mabue atanu mafinunuke ne kuelaye mu nsapu wende. Pashishe Davidi kunyema mutangile kudi Goleyata. Tshilobo atshi tshiakamuela lubila ne: ‘Luila apa muana wetu. Nendishe nyunyi ya muulu ne nyama ya tshisuku munyinyi webe.’ Kadi Davidi kakumvua buôwa to. Wakamuela pende dîyi ne: ‘Wewe udi ulua kundi ne muele ne difuma, kadi meme ndi ndua kuudi mu dîna dia Yehowa. Kuena utuluisha tuetu to, kadi udi uluisha Nzambi. Muntu yonso udi muaba eu neamone ne: Yehowa udi ne bukole bua bungi kupita muele anyi difuma. Neakufile wewe mujima mu bianza bietu.’

Davidi wakangata dibue, kudielaye mu ndundu wende, ne kudikupaye ne bukole buende buonso. Yehowa wakamuambuluisha, ke dibue edi kupatukadi ne kututadi Goleyata mu mpala wende. Tshilobo tshiakadishinda, kufuatshi. Ke bena Peleshete kunyemabu bua kababashipi to. Utuku weyemena Yehowa anu bu Davidi anyi?
