Kadi yeye uvua ne mubidi mukunzubile, ne mêsu mimpe, ne uvua muimpe kumona.+ Ke Yehowa kuamba ne: “Juka, umuele manyi, bualu ke yeye eu!”+ 13 Nunku Samuele wakangata lusengu lua manyi,+ kumuelaye manyi kumpala kua bana babu. Kutuadijila anu dituku adi, nyuma wa Yehowa wakatuadija kupesha Davidi bukole.+ Pashishe Samuele wakajuka, kuyaye ku Lama.+
