1 Ikyanya Dahudi âli riiri mwami, hanateera umwena mukayu, gwanahisa imyaka ishatu gugenderiiri. Ikyanya Dahudi akahanuusa Nahano, anamúshuvya: «Íbitumiri mwalonga guno mwena, bwo Sahuli neꞌmbaga yage bakayona umuko, mu kuyita Abagibyoni.»

2 Kwokwo, yabo Bagibyoni, mwami Dahudi anabakuumania. (Yabo Bagibyoni batâli riiri Bahisiraheeri, haliko iri misigala yaꞌBahamoori. Kundu Abahisiraheeri bâli mali biika indahiro kwo ndaaye Mugibyoni ye bagayita, haliko Sahuli akagira mbu abaminike booshi. Mukuba, âli loziizi ukukizi tabaala Abahisiraheeri, kuguma naꞌBayuda.)

3 Yabo Bagibyoni, Dahudi anababuuza: «BwaꞌBahisiraheeri bamùhubira, nimùgirire biki? Mumbwire, gira niinyu mukalonge ukugashaanira abandu ba Nahano.»

4 Balya Bagibyoni, ti: «Tutahangwirwi ukuhuuna ifwaranga imwa Sahuli neꞌmbaga yage. Tutanahangwirwi ukuyitiisa kiri noꞌMuhisiraheeri muguma.»

Dahudi anashubi babuuza: «Aaho! Ngirage kuti?» 5 Banamúshuvya kwokuno: «Mwami Sahuli âli loziizi kwo atuminike tweshi, hatasigale kiri na woꞌmuti mu kihugo kyage. 6 Ku yukwo, utuheereze imisore irinda ya mu mbaga yage, gira tubayitire hano ku mugazi gweꞌGibeya, banakizi beera ho ha bweruula. Mukuba, i Gibeya, ko kaaya ka Sahuli, ulya úkatoolwa na Nahano.» Mwami naye, ti: «Ngamùheereza bo.»

7 Bwo mwami âli mali biikira Yonataani mugala Sahuli indahiro kwiꞌziina lya Nahano, kyanatuma agaasiga Mifibosheeti mugala Yonataani, mbu atagendi yitwa. 8 Haliko, anayabiira Harimooni na Mifibosheeti, mugala mwami Sahuli, ye akabuta ku Risipa munyere Haya. Akayabiira naꞌbatabana bataanu ba Hadiryeri mugala Barizilaayi weꞌMehoola. Yabo bataanu, akababuta ku Mikaali munyere Sahuli.

9 Yabo baana kwo bali balinda, Dahudi anabasikiiriza Abagibyoni, banayami bayita, banabamanika ku mugazi imbere lya Nahano. Yabo baana, booshi bakayitwa kinaliguma. Kwanâli kola ku ndondeko yoꞌkugesha ubulo.

10 Ulya Risipa anayabiira ubusuuzu, anabuyaja ku lwala, anabeera haaho, ukulyokera ku ndondeko yoꞌmwimbu, halinde ku mahona-nvula. Yibyo birunda, invula yanakizi biniera kwo. Ku yikyo kyanya kyoshi, ubushigi niꞌzuuba, âli kizi kumuula utunyuni, neꞌnyamiishwa, gira bitabilye kwo.

11 Uyo Dahudi anabwirwa ngiisi kwo Risipa munyere Haya, agweti agaagira. (Uyo Haya âli riiri muka Sahuli weꞌmbuga.)

12 Kwokwo, Dahudi anagenda i Yabeeshi-Giryadi, gira agendi yabiira imigongolo ya Sahuli, neꞌya mugala wage wa Yonataani. (Iyo migongolo, Abahisiraheeri bâli mali giyabiira ku bumbishwa, ku bandu beꞌBeeti-Shaani. Mukuba, haaho, haꞌBafirisiti bakamanika ibirunda byabo, ku kyanya bâli mali bayitira ku mugazi Giribowa.)

13 Iyo migongolo ya yabo bombi, Dahudi anagileeta, kuguma neꞌmigongolo yeꞌrya misore irinda íkayitwa. 14 Iyo migongolo ya Sahuli na Yonataani, abakozi ba Dahudi banagiziika mu shinda ya Kishi, yishe wa Sahuli, mu kaaya keꞌZela, mu kihugo kya Binyamiini. Kwokwo, kwo mwami akakyula.

Ha nyuma, ikyanya abandu bâli kizi huuna Rurema, gira akizi gashaanira ikihugo kyabo, anabayuvwa.

15 Abafirisiti banashubi teera Abahisiraheeri. Neꞌkyanya Dahudi naꞌbaabo bakamanukira ho yabo Bafirisiti bali, gira agendi lwa, banagagara. 16 Ikihagange kiguma Hishibi-Benoobi, kyâli fumbiiti itumu írikatulwa mu miringa, lyanâli noꞌbuzito bweꞌbilo bishatu neꞌkitolo. Kyâli hagasiri neꞌngooti mbyahya. Yikyo kihagange kyanatondeera ukuyihaya kwo kigayita Dahudi.

17 Haliko, Habishaayi mugala Zeruya, anagendi vuna Dahudi, anagwisa ulya Mufirisiti, anamúyita. Lyeryo, abashosi ba Dahudi, banabiika indahiro kwokuno: «E mwami Dahudi, tutâye ki gendanwe mwiꞌzibo. Wehe, we mulengeerwe gwaꞌBahisiraheeri. Aaho! Kuti kwo twangaleka guzime?»

18 Ha nyuma, hanavyuka irindi lyaꞌBafirisiti i Gobu. Haaho, Sibekayi weꞌHusha, anayita Safu, wa mu mbaga yeꞌbikalage.

19 Haaho i Gobu, yabo Bafirisiti banashubi lwisa Abahisiraheeri. Leero Herihanani mugala Yare-Horegiimu weꞌBetereheemu, anayita Golyati wa mu kaaya keꞌGaati. Uyo Golyati naye, urusaati lwiꞌtumu lyage lwâli riiri luhamu nga kiti kyoꞌkulukira kweꞌmirondo.

20 Ha nyuma, kandi, hanavyuka irindi izibo i Gaati. Hâli riiri ikikalage kiguma. Âli hiiti ishamamba, anâli riiri kishandwe. Iminwe naꞌmano, byoshi kuguma byâli hisiri makumi gabiri na bina. 21 Ikyanya âli kizi tyoza Abahisiraheeri, Yonataani mugala Shimeyi, mwene wabo Dahudi, anamúyita. 22 Yibyo bihagange bina, byâli lyosiri i Gaati. Booshi, Dahudi naꞌbasirikaani baage, banabayita.
