Kweeki, eraabhe omuutu aramuruusirya Taatabhugya emiri gyo omuzeituni, ambe naabhe amasagya gaaku goosi garabha ni kwiiguru wa Taatabhugya.[e] 17 Bhoono, agamwe ga amasagya gatinirwe, na amasagya agaandi go omuzeituni gwa mwiitirigo geemiibhwe gatigati wa amasagya go okutaanga. Amasagya goosi garabhona ebhyaakurya okurwa mumiri giryagirya gyo omuzeituni. Emwe bhoono, niimwe amasagya ge emizeituni gya mwiitirigo. 18 Kweego, mutazeera amatu gano gakatinwa.
