16 Hanyuma bava i Beteli. Igihe bari bagishigaje urugendo rurerure ngo bagere Efurata,+ Rasheli ajya ku nda, kandi kubyara biramugora cyane.+

19 Nuko Rasheli arapfa, bamuhamba ku nzira igana Efurata, ari ho Betelehemu.+

2 Uwo mugabo yitwaga Elimeleki, umugore we akitwa Nawomi, naho abahungu be babiri umwe yitwaga Mahaloni undi akitwa Kiliyoni. Bari Abanyefurata+ b’i Betelehemu mu Buyuda. Nuko bagera mu gihugu cy’i Mowabu baturayo.

22 Obedi abyara Yesayi,+ Yesayi abyara Dawidi.+

16 Amaherezo Yehova abwira Samweli ati “uzakomeza kuririra Sawuli ugeze ryari,+ ko jye namaze kwanga ko akomeza kuba umwami wa Isirayeli?+ Uzuza amavuta+ mu ihembe ryawe ugende. Ngiye kukohereza kuri Yesayi+ w’i Betelehemu, kuko mu bahungu be nabonyemo uzaba umwami.”+

58 Sawuli aramubaza ati “mwana wa, uri mwene nde?” Dawidi arasubiza ati “ndi umuhungu w’umugaragu wawe Yesayi+ w’i Betelehemu.”+

2 “Nawe Betelehemu Efurata,+ nubwo uri muto cyane ku buryo utabarwa mu bihumbi by’u Buyuda,+ muri wowe+ hazava umutware uzakora ibyo nshaka muri Isirayeli,+ wabayeho kuva kera cyane, uhereye mu bihe bitarondoreka.+

6 ‘nawe Betelehemu+ yo mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda, nturi umugi muto cyane kurusha iyindi mu batware b’i Buyuda, kuko muri wowe hazaturuka umutware+ uzaragira+ ubwoko bwanjye bwa Isirayeli.’”
