Yisai buae se, “Akumaa pa ara wɔ hɔ, nanso ɔrehwɛ nguan.”
Samuel kae se, “Soma na wɔnkɔfa no mmra mprempren. Sɛ ɔmmae a, yɛrentena ase nnidi.”
12Enti Yisai soma ma wɔkɔfaa no bae. Na ɔyɛ ɔkɔkɔɔ a ahoɔfɛ aguare no na nʼani yɛ fɛ.
Awurade kae se, “Sɔre na sra no ngo. Ɔno ni.”

19Enti Saulo tuu abɔfo kɔɔ Yisai hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo babarima Dawid a ɔyɛ oguanhwɛfo no brɛ me.” 20Yisai penee so de Dawid kɔmaa Saulo a abirekyi ba ne afurum a wɔahyehyɛ aduan ne nsa wɔ ne so ka ho.

Musajja muzira era mulwanyi, ate nga mwogezi mulungi, era alabika bulungi. Ate Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.” 19Awo Sawulo n’atuma ababaka eri Yese, ng’agamba nti, “Mpeereza mutabani wo Dawudi, alabirira endiga.” 2016:20 1Sa 10:27; Nge 18:16Yese n’addira endogoyi n’agitikka emigaati, n’eccupa y’envinnyo n’omwana gw’embuzi, n’abiweereza wamu ne mutabani we Dawudi eri Sawulo.
