Kapitulu 12.

Yayi ni batu bana bisa kwena Tavidi ku Zikilangi, muna tangwa yandi kakalaku lenda kwenda kuna mesu ma Sawulu, mwana wa Kisi. Bawu bakala bayakala ba ngolu bana bamusadisa mu mvita. Bawu bakala yi binwaninu bya sema phunza; bazayi sema matadi keti sema phunza ni koku kwa lubakala keti kwa lumonso. Bawu ba kanda dya Benzyame, biwutu bya Sawulu. Ahiyezele pfumu, amana Yowasi, bana ba Semaha wa ku Ngibeya; Yezyele yi Peleti, bana ba Azimaveti; Belaka; Yehu wa ku Anatoti; Yisimaya wa ku Ngibeyoni, mutu wa ngolu muna kati dya makumatatu, amana pfumu ha thandu ya makumatatu; Yelemiya, Yahazyele, Yowani, Yozabadi wa ku Ngedela; Eluzayi, Yelimoti, Beyalaya, Semalaya, yi Sefataya wa mwisi Halufi; Elikana, Isiya, Azalele, Yowezele, yi Yasobeyami, bisi Kola; yi Yoyela yi Zebadaya, bana ba Yelohami wa ku Ngedoli.

Bisi Ngadi bahika bákutukila Tavidi ku kibaka kya mu nganga; bawu bakala bayakala ba ngolu bana basasukila mu mvita, bazayi sadila kibalaka yi ngumba, mbunzu za bawu zakala hanga za bathambu, bakala tyakula hanga nkayi ha mongu. Ezele wakala pfumu, Obadaya wa zodi, Eliyabi wa tatu, Misimana wa ya, Yelemiya wa tanu, Atayi wa sambanu, Eliyele wa tsambwadi, Yowani wa nana, Elizabadi wa vwa, Yelemiya wa kumi, Makibanayi wa kumi yi mosi. Bisi Ngadi meni bakala bapfumu ba kibuka kya mvita; wuna wa nleki wafwanana yi khama, amana wuna wa mbuta wafwanana yi funda. Yayi ni bayakala bana báhyokila Yolutani muna ngonda ya theti, bu dyábasa ha milambu myandi myosu, amana bákukwasa batu boosu bakala mu mindimba, ku tsosu yi ku ndamba.

Bayakala bahika ba Benzyame yi ba Yuta phi bisa kwena Tavidi ku kibaka. Tavidi wálubuka mu kubadengana, amana wubazimbwadi: «Yuka ni lwisidi kwena meni mu ngemba mu kutsadisa, mbundu yama yakhundakana yi benu; kaasi yuka ni lwisidi mu kundambwala kwena bambeni zama, ata moku mama makonda kingolu-ngolu, Nzambi wa batata betu kamona dyawu amana kalufundisa.» Amana Kitembu kya Tata wetu kyávwatila Amasayi, pfumu wa makumatatu, amana wuzimbudi: «Betu twenina ba ngeyi, A Tavidi! Twenina yi ngeyi, mwana wa Yese! Ngemba, ngemba kwena ngeyi, ngemba kwena basadisi baku, mukuma Tata waku kakusadisa.» Tavidi wátambula bawu, amana wákhitula bawu bapfumu ba kibuka kyandi kya mvita.

Batu bahika ba Manase bákutukila Tavidi bu kénda ku mvita hakimosi yi Bafilisiti mu kunwanisa Sawulu. Kaasi Tavidi yi batu bandi kábasadisaku Bafilisiti; mukuma, kunima kuyambila, bapfumu ba Bafilisiti bámuvutula Tavidi, mu kuzimbula: «Kavutuka kwena pfumu wandi Sawulu amana kakututula mintu myetu.» Bu kénda ku Zikilangi, batu meni ba Manase bámukutukila: Adina, Yozabadi, Yedyayele, Mikele, Yozabadi, Elihu, Zileta; bawu bakala bapfumu ba mafunda ma Manase. Bawu basadisa Tavidi mu kunwanisa bandwandwa, mukuma boosu bakala bayakala ba ngolu, amana bakitukini bapfumu mu kibuka kyandi kya mvita. Kosu kilumbu, bayakala bakala kwisa mu kusadisa Tavidi, tii yi kibuka kyandi kya mvita kyakituka kineni hanga kibuka kya mvita kya Tata wetu.

Yayi ni ntalu wa bayakala bana bakala yi binwaninu bya mvita, bana bisa kwena Tavidi ku Heboloni mu kuhana kwena yandi kipfumu kya Sawulu, bwosu Tata wetu kátela, Mu Yuta: bana bakala nata kibalaka yi ngumba, mafunda sambanu yi khama nana, bakala yi binwaninu bya mvita; Mu Simeyoni: bayakala ba ngolu bayilama mu mvita, mafunda tsambwadi yi khama; Mu Lefi: mafunda ya yi khama sambanu, hakimosi yi Yehoyada, pfumu wa kikanda kya Loni, yi mafunda matatu yi khama tsambwadi hakimosi yi yandi, yi Satoki, kitoku kya ngolu, yi bapfumu makumodi yi bodi bátuka mu kikanda kyandi. Mu Benzyame, biwutu bya Sawulu: mafunda matatu; batu balawu ba bawu bakala kengila nzu ya Sawulu, Mu Efwayimi: mafunda makumodi yi khama nana, bayakala ba ngolu, batu ba khumbu muna bikanda bya bawu; Mu kyati kya kanda dya Manase: mafunda kumi yi nana, bana básolama mu khumbu mu kwisa sodila Tavidi kyamvu; Mu Isakadi: bapfumu khama zodi bana babakisa bilumbu, bazayi mana mafwana Kiseledi vanga, yi biwutu byawu byosu ku tsi ya lutumunu lwa bawu. Mu Zabuloni: mafunda makumatanu ma baphumbulu basasukila, bayilama mu mvita yi binwaninu byosu, bayilama mu kusadisa Tavidi yi mbundu yawu yosu, Mu Nefutadi: bapfumu funda dimosi, yi hakimosi yi bawu bayakala mafunda makumatatu yi tsambwadi bana bakala nata kibalaka yi ngumba; Mu Dani: bayakala mafunda makumodi yi nana yi khama sambanu bayilama mu mvita; Mu Aseli: mafunda makumaya ma baphumbulu basasukila bayilama mu mvita; Ku tsosu ya Yolutani: Lubeni, Ngadi, yi kyati kya kanda dya Manase: mafunda khama yi makumodi, bakala yi binwaninu byosu bya mvita.

Bawu bánanga kwakuna bilumbu bitatu hakimosi yi Tavidi, bakala dya yi nwa; mukuma biwutu byawu byáyidika madya mawu. Bakwa mukombu wawu, tii yi kuna Isakadi yi Zabuloni yi Nefutadi, bánata madya ha ane, ha kamela, ha baphunda, yi ha bangombi: pfuba, mapha ma fiki, mapha ma vinu, vinu, mafuta, bangombi, yi mikoku mu lawu-lawu, mukuma kyesi kyákala mu Kiseledi.
