1 Ikyanya akaaya keꞌHayi kakasherezibwa, umwazi gwanahikira abaami booshi ábâli tuuziri uluhande lweꞌmuga lwoꞌlwiji Yorodaani. Baguma bâli riiri mu migazi, naꞌbandi mu ndekeera, naꞌbandi ku ngombe yeꞌNyaaja Mediterane, halinde mu kihugo kyeꞌLebanooni. Kuli kudeta umwami waꞌBahiti, na waꞌBahamoori, na waꞌBakaanani, na waꞌBapereesi, na waꞌBahivi, na waꞌBayebuusi. 2 Yabo baami booshi, banayibiika kuguma, gira bagendi lwisa Yoshwa, kuguma naꞌbaabo Bahisiraheeri.

3 Abatuulaga beꞌGibyoni, ikyanya bakayuvwa ngiisi kwo Yoshwa ahima akaaya keꞌYeriko, naꞌkeꞌHayi, 4 banakoleesa ubulyalya. Banayabiira amasuuzu mashaaja, neꞌndaha zeꞌdivaayi íziri nguluukulu. Yizo ndaha, zâli kola njane-njane, bwo zâli mali bereka. Yibyo byoshi, banabishoneza ku bapunda baabo. 5 Banayambala ibishajiira byeꞌmirondo, neꞌbiraato bihange-hange. Ibyokulya byabo byoshi, byâli koli yumiri, byanâli kola mu vunda.

6 Kwokwo, banagenda i Girigaali, imunda Yoshwa âli shumbisiri. Neꞌri bakamúhikira, banamúlamusa, kuguma naꞌbaabo Bahisiraheeri booshi, ti: «Twehe, twalyoka i mahanga, twayiji mùhuuna kwo tunywane.»

7 Yabo Bagibyoni (neꞌlindi iziina lyabo, Abahivi), Abahisiraheeri banabashuvya, ti: «Kutagi kwo mwayija tunywane? Si kwangiba mutuuziri hano hoofi liitu.» 8 Nabo, ti: «Nanga, maashi! Si tuli bakozi baawe!»

Yoshwa, anashubi babuuza: «Aaho! Mwehe mulyagagi banyandi? Na hayi mwalyoka?» 9 Banamúshuvya: «Twe bakozi baawe! Tukalyoka mu mahanga ágali hala ngana. Twayija, bwo tukayuvwa ngiisi kwiꞌziina lya Rurema Nahamwinyu, ligweti ligahuuzibwa. Keera twanayuvwa ngiisi kwo âli kizi gira mu kihugo kyeꞌMiisiri. 10 Tukanayuvwa na ngiisi kwo akahima abaami babiri baꞌBahamoori ábâli tuuziri i kajabo koꞌlwiji Yorodaani, mwami Sihooni weꞌHeshibooni, na mwami Hoogi weꞌBashaani, úwâli tuuziri i Hashitarooti. 11 Abashaaja ba mu kihugo kiitu, kuguma naꞌbatuulaga booshi, bakatubwira kwo tulingaanie indanda, tunayiji mùbona. Bakanadeta: “Mubabwire kwo tuli bakozi biinyu. Aahago! Mugire tunywane ikihango.”

12 «Lolagi! Ino mikate yitu, ikyanya tukagiyimukana, yâli ki riiri miduutu. Halikago buno, ikoli yumuusiri, inakoli vuuziri. 13 Kiri na zino ndaha, ikyanya tukazilongera mweꞌdivaayi, zâli ki riiri mbyahya. Haliko buno, keera zashanguka. Na bwo twashaaga hala bweneene, ibyambalwa neꞌbiraato biitu, nabyo keera byatuhulira kwo.»

14 Yabo Bahisiraheeri, mbu bayuvwe kwokwo, banayami toma-toma ku byokulya, buzira kutee hanuusa Nahano. 15 Yoshwa analeka ukubayita, si banayami nywana ikihango, halinde booshi banatuula mu mutuula. Abimangizi baꞌBahisiraheeri, nabo banakibiikira indahiro.

16 Abahisiraheeri, iri bakaba keera bahisa isiku zishatu bagiziri kirya kihango, babuli menya kwo balya Bagibyoni bali batuulani baabo, na kwo batuuziri hoofi-hoofi. 17 Kwokwo, banagendi lola ho bâli tuuziri. Neꞌri bakahisa isiku zishatu bali mu njira, banahika mu twaya twabo, kuli kudeta akaaya keꞌGibyoni, naꞌkeꞌKefira, naꞌkeꞌBerooti, naꞌkeꞌKiryati-Yariimu. 18 Abahisiraheeri batanaki balwisa. Mukuba, abimangizi baabo bâli mali gwanwa bababiikira indahiro kwiꞌziina lya Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri.

Haaho, Abahisiraheeri booshi banatondeera ukuyidodombera abimangizi baabo. 19 Haliko banabashuvya: «Yabo bandu, keera twababiikira indahiro kwiꞌziina lya Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri, tutanganaki bahuma kwo. 20 Tubalekage bayame ho, gira tutayiji kengeera twahanwa. Neꞌyo ndahiro yo keera tukabiika, tutangaki gihongola. Si byo tugabahuuna naaho, byo byebi: 21 Kundu tugabaleka babe ho, haliko bayemeere naaho ukukizi tusheenyera, noꞌkukizi tuvwomera tweshi.» Kwokwo, ngiisi kweꞌbirongoozi byaꞌBahisiraheeri bakabalagaania, kwo bakanagira.

22 Ha nyuma, Yoshwa anatumira yabo Bagibyoni kwokuno: «Kituma kiki mwatuteba, mu kudeta mbu mwalyoka i mahanga, kiziga tunatuliinwi? 23 Kwokwo buno, mukoli daasirwi. Mutanâye leke ukukizi tusheenyera, munakizi na tuvwomera amiiji goꞌkubiika mu nyumba ya Rurema witu.»

24 Banamúshuvya: «E waliha, twe bakozi baawe. Keera tukabwirwa ngiisi kwo Nahano Rurema winyu, akabwira umukozi wage Musa kwo aminike abatuulaga booshi ba kino kihugo, gira amùheereze kyo, kibe kyeꞌmwinyu. Kyanatuma tugayoboha kwo tugayitwa, twanamùteba. 25 Buno, tukola mu maboko gaawe. Ngiisi kwo uloziizi, kube kwo ugatugira.»

26 Kwokwo, kwo Yoshwa akakiza Abagibyoni mu maboko gaꞌBahisiraheeri, atanabayita. 27 Ukulyokera ku yulwo lusiku, anabagira bakizi sheenyera Abahisiraheeri, banakizi na bavwomera. Banakizi vwomera, kiri naꞌkatanda ka Nahano, ngiisi ho agakabiika. Yugwo mukolwa, kwokwo kwo bakiri mu gugira halinde zeene.
