⁷ Amu na Saul ɔ́kpali ɔnii beteenu, “Amii Benyamin kaba kemmo bebi, bɛɛkali ka Yisai ubidi ɔnanabi ɔmmɔ ɔdubute-mii kɔlɔ ku adingyii mmo? Bɛɛkali ka ɔdubo-mii bɔbla na binwini bekpone mpim mpim batɔnkune ku eti anyɔ anyɔ batɔnkune?

⁸ Lili na bɛɛsa mina lɛlɔ ka bɛtu-mi lɛga? Ami ɔlati ubidi únyimiku Yisai ubidi Dawid kenye na mina lɛlɔ, na bina ɔdi útasu-mi! Bina akɔ ina ukyuli unwi muedi uláwia-mi bɔdia. Na ɔdi útasu-mi ka mina ubi ɔɔkya mina kabla ɔblane ogya ka unye utaatu-mi kalɛ na ɔɔbla ɔmwi mɛni!”

¹⁰ Na anwu nébunku-nwu na úvele Katɔti úte Dawid kalɛ na ɔti lɛla lɛni na ɔbla. Úte-nwu adila adi. Na úti Goliat Ƒilistini kewii kani na útaada mmɔ úte-nwu.”

¹¹ Ka Saul únu kenye kamɛni ni, kɔnakunwi ɔ́tala ɔnii batálɔ Ɔkpane Ahimelek ku nwuna lɛlɔ bekyuli bani ndi bakpane mmɔ beboku. Ama lɛnɔ bénu-nwu bɔlɔ na báta bébo ɔga kudɔ mmɔ kɔnakunwi.

¹² Ka bébedu mmɔ kani na Saul ɔ́kpali Ahimelek ɔnii uteenu. Ahimelek lɛnɔ údie kenye ɔnii, “Ati, taatɛmi.”

¹³ Mmɔ na Saul úse kalɔ ɔnini, “Bi ɔsu na awɔ ku Yisai ubidi Dawid bɛ́sa lili na mina lɛlɔ, na éte-nwu adila ku kewii, na évele Unwoti éte-nwu kalɛ na ɔta unye-mi lɛlɔ, na unye ɔgya kalɛ na ɔdu-mi aani kalɛ na ɔdaku bɔbla ɔmwi?”

¹⁴ Amu na Ahimelek údie lɛlɔ kenye na ɔ́su Ɔga Saul ɔnini, “Ati, Dawid ni, awɔ ɔlati ƒula ɔnamu na ɔdi. Na ulakana lɛla lɛni na aasu mɛni udu bɔbla na ƒula lɛlɔ kudii. Na ɔdi ƒ'ubidi ɔgyani. Na ɔni ntulo lɛnɔ ndi ka anwu ndi ƒula bekpone bani mɔɔgyumana-a ƒui unengu. Na ƒula bekpone benengu bamba ku kabla bablane ƒui lɛnɔ baabu-nwu geen.

¹⁵ Geen ni, lívele Katɔti líte-nwu na lɛla lɛni na ɔlɛka ɔbla lɛlɔ. Ɔsika ɔmɛni ɔɔɔdi kudeedi ɔni na lívele Katɔti líte Dawid. Na útabla-a kɔnyi lɛnɔ dii! Anwuɔsu na buvele kemmo ni, tada ami-ku mina kaduli bekyuli kenye lɛni. Ami, ƒula kabla ɔblane, lɛɛɛgyi lɛla lɛdi ńtasiku litemi lɛmɛni lɛlɔ.”

¹⁶ Nsu Ɔga Saul údie kenye ɔnini, “Ahimelek, ɔlɛka lɛdu-ɔ ku ƒula lɛlɔ bekyuli ƒui.”

¹⁷ Amu na Saul únwini na ɔ́su nwuna bagyumanane bani nnye-nwu kɔmadɔ ɔnini, “Binwini na bɛdu Katɔti bakpane bamɛni, ɔsika ama lɛnɔ bebunku Dawid na bagyi ka bukeli na ɔda asa na béni na bátasu-mi.” Nsu bekpone benengu bammɔ ɔdi útayɔ ka ɔdu Unwoti bakpane bammɔ kalɛ na ɔga úbo-ma ɔda.

¹⁸ Amu na Ɔga Saul únwini na ɔ́su Doeg ɔnini, “Awɔ, nwini na adu bakpane bamɛni!” Anwuɔsu Doeg, Edomni ɔmmɔ, únwini na ɔ́du bana nkyuli liti ku avlaatɛ-ɛlɔ bani nkya bana bɔkpa kabla lɛwu buni benye mmɔ.
