10 Ebiya bana-balume ba Yabeshe banena’mba: “Kesha tusa kwitūla kodi, nobe ubwanya kwitulonga byonso byomona bu biyampe.”+
11 Difuku dilonda’ko, Solo waabanya bantu mu bibumbo bisatu, nabo batwela mu bukata mwa nkambi ku kilo kya lubanga,* baipaya bene Amone+ kufika ne byananine dyuba. Boba bapandile bapalankana, enka ne byokekwashelepo bantu babidi pamo.
12 Kupwa bantu banena Samwele amba: “I bāni badi banena’mba: ‘Le Solo ye wa kwitubikadila bu mulopwe?’+ Leta bana-balume’bo, tusa kwibepaya.”

14 Kupwa Samwele wanena bantu amba: “Iyai twende ku Ngilengale+ tukayukanye bulopwe+ dikwabo.”
15 Ebiya bantu bonso baenda ku Ngilengale, kadi mu Ngilengale’mwa babikika Solo ku meso a Yehova. Kupwa balambula konka bitapwa bya kipwano ku meso a Yehova,+ kadi Solo ne bana-balume bonso ba Isalela basoba masobo na nsangaji mikatampe.+
