English Swahili. Judges 9:8-9
[8]The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Siku moja miti ilitoka ili kuutia mmoja mafuta uwe mfalme juu yao; ikauambia mti mzeituni, Tawala wewe juu yetu.
[9]But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Lakini huo mzeituni ukaiambia, Je! Niache mafuta yangu, ambayo kwangu mimi watu wamheshimu Mungu na wanadamu, ili niende nikayonge-yonge juu ya miti?
