13 Mme ya re ba ba sikereng Letlole laMorenaba sena go tsamaya dikgato di le thataro, Dafita a dira setlhabelo sa kgomo le sa namane e e nonneng.

14 Dafita a eta a bina ka thata yotlhe fa pele gaMorena, a itlamile ka khiba ya boperesiti ya letseta.

15 Dafita le Baiseraele botlhe ba isa Letlole laMorenaka meduduetso le modumo wa dinaka.

17 Ya re ba sena go tsenya Letlole laMorenale go le baya mo felong ga lone mo teng ga tente e Dafita a e le tlhometseng, Dafita a direlaMorenaditlhabelo tsa phiso le tsa tebogo.

18 Ya re Dafita a sena go fetsa go tlisa ditlhabelo tsa phiso le tsa tebogo, a tshegofatsa morafe ka leina laMorenawa masomosomo.

19 A ba a abela bontsi jotlhe jwa morafe wa Iseraele, banna le basadi, mongwe le mongwe senkgwana se le sengwe le kabelo ya nama le senkgwana sa maswabi a moweine se le sengwe. Jaanong morafe otlhe wa ya kwa gae, mongwe le mongwe kwa lapeng la gagwe.

20 Ya re Dafita a boa go dumedisa ba lapa la gagwe, Migale morwadia Saule a tswa go kgatlhantsha Dafita a re: “Kgosi ya Iseraele e ne e itlotla jang kajeno, fa e ikapola mo matlhong a malata a batlhanka ba yona jaaka go ikapola fela batho ba ba difatlha.”

21 Mme Dafita a raya Migale a re: “Ke tla tlolaka fa pele gaMorenayo o ntlhaotseng mo boemong jwa ga rraago le jwa botlhe ba lelapa la gagwe ka go ntira moeteledipele wa morafe waMorenawa Iseraele. Ke tla bina fa pele gaMorena.

22 Ke tla ba ke ikokobetsa gape bogolo go moo, ke ikaya yo mmotlana, mme mo malateng a o a umakileng ke tla tlotlega.”

23 Mme morwadia Saule, e bong Migale, a se ka a fiwa ngwana ope go ya letsatsing la loso lwa gagwe.
