Nahashi muAmoni akati kwaʋari: Ndicatenda kuita suŋgano nemi kana meso enyu ose orudyi acitumburwa, kuti ndinyadze ʋaIsraeri ʋose naɀo. Ʋakuru ʋeJabeshi ʋakati kwaari: Titenderei mazuʋa manomŋe, titume nhume kunyika yose yaIsraeri; ɀino kana pasina‐uŋgatiponesa, ticaɓuɗa kwauri. Ɀino nhume dzikaȿika paGibea, kwaSauro, dzikataura mashoko iwayo kuʋanhu; ʋanhu ʋose ʋakacema kwaɀo. Ɀino Sauro wakabva kumunda acitinha ŋombe dzake; Sauro akati: Ʋanhu ʋanonzweiko ɀaʋanocema kuɗai? Akaʋudzwa mashoko aʋarume ʋeJabeshi. Ipapo Mŋeya waMŋari wakaʋuya pamsoro paSauro nesimba, acinzwa mashoko iwayo, kutsamŋa kwake kukamutswa kwaɀo.

Naiɀoɀo ʋarume ʋeJabeshi ʋakati: Maŋgwana ticaɓuɗa kwamuri, mutiitire henyu seɀamunoɗa. Fume maŋgwana Sauro akagadzira ʋanhu, akaʋaita mapoka matatu, ʋakapinda pakati pemisasa neŋguʋa yamaŋgwanani, ʋakaʋuraya ʋaAmoni kuȿikira zuʋa ropisa; ɀino ʋakasara ʋakaparadzirwa, hakuna‐kusara ʋaʋiri pamŋe cete. Ɀino ʋanhu ʋakati kunaSamueri: Ndianiko wakati: Sauro uŋgatiɓata ʋushe here? Hendei, tiʋaʋuraye. Sauro akati: Ŋgakurege kuʋurawa munhu mumŋe nhasi, nokuti Jehova wakarwira Israeri. Ɀino Samueri akati kuʋanhu: Hendei Girgari, tindoʋandudza ʋushe ipapo. Ʋanhu ʋose ʋakaenda Girgari, ʋakagadza Sauro aʋe mambo waʋo pamberi paJehova paGirgari, ʋakaɓayira’po ɀiɓayiro ɀeɀipiriso ɀokuyananisa pamberi paJehova; Sauro naʋarume ʋose ʋaIsraeri ʋakafara kwaɀo ipapo.
