Ghamatendo 13:16-24

¹⁶Pauli kenuka, kawapungila ghumoko kalonga, “Mwemwe Waisiraeli weyangu, na mwemwe iwanu wangi yamumpfuka Imulungu mnitegheletse!

¹⁷Imulungu we iwanu wano wa Isiraeli tsakawasaghula aba tsetu, kawabaliki iwanu awo hala hawang'ali wahenza mne isi ya Misiri, kuya kwa uwetso wake mkulu kawalapfa mne isi ayo.

¹⁸Kwa miyaka ka alubaini kawadudumila akula kunyika.

¹⁹Naye tsakaghahinya makabila saba mne isi ya Kanani, na kuweng'a iwanu wake isi ila iwe yawo.

²⁰Agha ghose ghakala kwa miyaka miya nne hamsini. “Hambele, Imulungu kaweng'a walamutsi iwanu wake mbaka mne matsuwa gha Samweli, nabii we Imulungu.

²¹Kuya iwanu walomba wawe ne imndewa, Imulungu kaweng'a Sauli, imwana wa Kishi wa kabila lya Benjamini yawe mndewa wawo kwa chipindi cha miyaka alubaini.

²²Imulungu hamlapfile Sauli, kamsaghula Daudi yawe mndewa wawo. Imulungu kamlonga pfino Daudi, ‘Nimwona Daudi imwana wa Yese, ka imunu yaghunoghele ghumoyo ghwangu. Yeye katsotenda aghala ghose ghanibama yaghatende.’

²³Kulawa mne lukolo lwa Daudi, Imulungu kawaghalila iwanu wa Isiraeli Mkombotsi Yesu, ka pfalongile.

²⁴Hala Yesu ng'ana yanduse isang'ano yake, Yohane tsakawapetela iwanu wose wa Isiraeli watsileke nzambi na wabatitsighwe.
