20Mutakikoberaku bantu b’e Gathi,

21“Imwe ensozi edh’e Giliboa,
mugwananga mwaloba kugwaku maadhi waire omusulo obusulo,
oba waire amasamba gaimwe okuvaamu ebikungulwa;
kuba ku imwe, engabo edh’ab’amaani kwe dhaayonoonerwa,
engabo ya Saulo baalekera okugisiiga omuzigo.
22Akalaso ka Yonathani tikairanga, nga tikasaabaine musaayi gwa bafiire
era nga tikafumiite masavu ga b’amaani;
n’empiima ya Saulo tiyairiranga agho bwereere.
23Saulo ni Yonathani baali bagonzi era abasanhusa!
Mu bulamu ni mu kufa tibaayawukana,
baali ba mbiro okusinga enkookooma,
era baaba ba maani okusinga empologoma.
24Imwe baghala b’Abaisiraeli mulire Saulo,
eyabavaazanga ebivaalo eby’ebitiibwa ni mutoonha,
era eyabavaazanga ebyamadholobera ebya zaabu.
25Abalwani ab’amaani bagwire inho,
baabaitira mu lutalo!
Yonathani agwire yaafiira mu nsozi.
26Muganda wange Yonathani, ndi mu bughafu bubitirivu ku lulwo!
Obaire mukagwa wange inho.
Obairenga ng’ondholeka okugonza okutaloodheka,
nga kusinga n’okugonza okw’abakazi.
27Abantu ab’amaani bagwire inho,
n’eby’okulwanisa baabirekulira bw’agho.”
