1 «Ha nyuma, twanashubi hinduka, twanadalamba mwiꞌshamba. Twanagwata injira yoꞌkugenda iwa Nyaaja Ndukula, nga kwo Nahano akambwira. Twanahisa isiku nyingi, tugweti tugayubuuba-yubuuba mu migazi yeꞌSeyiri.

2 «Iri hakatama, Nahano anambwira: 3 “Keera mwayubuuba-yubuuba bweneene mwiꞌyi migazi. Aaho! Mugendage uluhande lweꞌmbembe. 4 Ukomeereze Abahisiraheeri kwokuno: Mukola mugatambuka ikihugo kyeꞌSeyiri. Yikyo kihugo, kyo beene winyu beꞌkibusi kya Hesahu batuuziri mwo. Yabo bandu, bagamùyoboha. Kundu kwokwo, muloleekeze bwija. 5 Mutakolwe kwo mwabalwisa. Mukuba, keera nꞌgabaheereza ikihugo mu migazi yeꞌSeyiri. Si mwehe, ndagamùheereza kyo, mbu bube buhyane bwinyu. Ndanganamùhereeza kiri na ho mwangabiika ulushando luguma. 6 Neꞌri mwangalonga ibyokulya imwabo, kandi iri magoloovi, mukwiriiri mubigule.”

7 «Mukengeere ngiisi kwo Nahano, Rurema winyu akamùgashaanira mu byoshi byo mwâli kizi gira. Neꞌkyanya mwâli kizi yubuuba-yubuuba muꞌyo namuhirye wiꞌshamba, âli kizi mùlanga. Mwiꞌyi myaka makumi gana, mwanaba muyamiinwi. Ndaanahyo íhiteerwa ku shinda hyo mukabula.

8 «Kwokwo, kwo tukayiyeka yabo beene Hesahu, abatuulaga beꞌSeyiri. Twanayiyeka kwakundi irya njira yeꞌndekeera yoꞌlwiji Yorodaani, kiri naꞌkaaya keꞌHelati, naꞌkeꞌHezyoni-Gebeeri. Ha nyuma, twanahinduuka, twanakulikira injira yoꞌkulenga mwiꞌshamba lyeꞌMohabu.

9 «Haaho, Nahano anambwira: “Yabo bandu beꞌMohabu, utabahalalire, utanabalwise. Si ndaabwo buhyane bwo ngamùheereza mu kihugo kyabo. Ikihugo kyeꞌHari, keera nꞌgakiheereza beene Luutu, bube buhyane bwabo.”» 10 (Yaho kare, ikihugo kyeꞌHari kyâli tuuzirwi mwaꞌBahemi. Yabo bandu, bâli bihagarusi, banâli riiri bifigisi ngaꞌBahanaaki. 11 Igindi milala, yâli kizi tona kwo bali Barefahimu, ngaꞌBahanaaki. Haliko Abamohabu bâli kizi bahamagala Bahemi. 12 Yikyo kihugo kyeꞌSeyiri, yaho kare kyâli tuuzirwi mwaꞌBahoori. Haliko beene Hesahu, banabayimula mwo, banabaminika, banaba bo bagakituula mwo. Kwokwo, kwaꞌBahisiraheeri nabo bakayiji gira, mu kugwata ikihugo kyo Nahano akabaheereza, kwo kibe kyeꞌmwabo.)

13 «Nahano anatukomeereza kwokuno: “Buno, muyimukage, mujabuke ulwiji Zereedi.” Neꞌkyanya tukalujabuka, 14 twâli mali hisa imyaka makumi gashatu na munaana, ho tukalyokera i Kadeeshi-Barineya, halinde twajabuka ulwiji Zereedi. Ku yikyo kyanya, booshi ábâli lyosiri i Miisiri, beꞌkiimo kyoꞌkugenda mwiꞌzibo, bâli mali fwa, nga kwo Nahano âli mali gwanwa abiika indahiro. 15 Yenyene, ye kagira kwokwo, gira booshi baherere haaho mu shumbi.

16 «Yabo bandu booshi, iri bakaba keera bafwa, 17 Nahano anambwira: 18 “Buno mukolaga mugajabuka ulubibi lweꞌMohabu, mu kulenga mu kihugo kyeꞌHari. 19 Mukabuli hika mu kihugo kyaꞌBahamooni. Yabo nabo, mutabahalalire, mutanabalwise. Mukuba, ndaabwo buhyane bwo ngamùheereza mu beene Hamooni. Mukuba, yikyo kihugo, keera nꞌgakiheereza beene Luutu, kwo kibe kyeꞌmwabo.”»

20 (Yikyo kihugo nakyo, kyâli yijikiini kwo kiri kyaꞌBarefahimu. Mukuba, yaho keera, bo bâli tuuziri iyo munda. Haliko, Abahamooni bâli kizi bahamagala Bazamuzuumi. 21 Yabo bandu, bâli luguusiri bweneene, banâli bihagarusi. Emwe! Bâli bifigisi ngaꞌBahanaaki. Haliko, Nahano akabaminika imbere lyaꞌBahamooni. Ikyanya Abahamooni bakahika mwo, banabayimula, banatuula mwo. 22 Nahano akagira nga kwo akagirira beene Hesahu, abatuulaga beꞌSeyiri. Mukuba, ikyanya bakahika iyo munda, anaminika Abahoori imbere lyabo, bananyaga ikihugo kyabo, banakituula mwo halinde zeene. 23 Abahava nabo, kare bâli tuuziri mu twaya tweꞌGaza. Haliko, Abakafutori banalyoka mu kalira keꞌKereete. Neꞌri bakabaminika, banatuula ahandu haabo.)

24 «Ha nyuma, Nahano anambwira: “Muyimuke, munajabuke ulwiji Harinooni. Lolaga! Keera nabiika Umuhamoori Sihooni, mwami weꞌHeshibooni, mu maboko gaawe, kuguma neꞌkihugo kyage kyoshi. Kwokwo, mukiteere, munatondeere ukukigwata. 25 Ukulyokera zeene, ngatondeera ukubiika ikyoba mu mahanga gooshi, gira bakizi mùyoboha, banakizi juguma imbere liinyu. Ikyanya bagayuvwa imyazi yinyu, banashenguke, banalenge mwoꞌmusisi.”

26 «Kwokwo, iri tukaba tukola yaho mwiꞌshamba lyeꞌKedemooti, nanalungika indumwa imwa mwami Sihooni weꞌHeshibooni, yoꞌkumúhuuna umutuula, ti: 27 “Utuhanguule tulenge mu kihugo kyawe. Tugayami lungushuka, buzira kulangiiza ilulyo, kandi iri ilumosho. 28 Neꞌbyokulya byo tugaalya, kiri naꞌmagoloovi go tugaanywa, tugabigula. We kongwa we! Utuhanguulage tulenge naaho mu kihugo kyawe. 29 Kiri na beene Hesahu ábatuuziri i Seyiri, keera bakatuhanguula, twanalenga mu kihugo kyabo. Abamohabu ábatuuziri i Hari, nabo bakatuhanguula, twanalenga mwo. Ewe! Tugalungushuka, halinde tujabuke ulwiji Yorodaani, tunayingire mu kihugo kyo Nahano, Rurema witu atuheereza.”

30 «Ulya mwami Sihooni weꞌHeshibooni, Nahano Rurema winyu akamúgira abe nduvwa, analahira. Na bwo akayumuusa umutima gwage, kyanatuma tugakigwata, twanakigaaza halinde buno.

31 «Nahano anambwira: “Yuvwagwa! Ukulyokera buno, nabiika mwami Sihooni mu maboko gaawe, kuguma neꞌkihugo kyage. Aaho! Mutondeerage ukukigwata.”

32 «Ha nyuma, Sihooni naꞌbasirikaani baage booshi, banayiji tulwikiza hoofi naꞌkaaya keꞌYahasa.

33 «Kwokwo uyo Sihooni, Nahano, Rurema witu, anatuhimira ye, halinde twanamúminika kuguma na bagala baage, kiri naꞌbasirikaani baage booshi. 34 Lyeryo, twanayami gwata utwaya twage imbira. Yutwo twoshi, twanatuminika lwoshi-lwoshi, twanayita mwaꞌbashosi, naꞌbakazi, kiri naꞌbaana. Emwe! Ndaabo bandu bo tukasiga.

35 «Ngiisi byo tukatwala naaho, biri bitugwa, neꞌgindi minyago yo tukagwanana mu twaya. 36 Kwokwo, kwo tukahasha ukuhima utwaya twoshi, ukutondeerera mu kaaya Haroweri, ákali ku ngombe yoꞌlwiji Harinooni, naꞌkandi kaaya ákali mwiꞌyo ndekeera, halinde mu kihugo kyeꞌGiryadi. Utwaya twabo twoshi, Nahano, Rurema witu akatubiika mu maboko giitu.

37 «Si ikihugo kyaꞌBahamooni kyohe, tutakakiyegeera. Kuli kudeta ikihugo íkiri ku ngombe yoꞌlwiji Yaboki, kuguma noꞌtwaya twa mu migazi. Mukuba, yutwo tundi twaya, Nahano, Rurema witu akatubuza, kwo tutatuteere.
