Baahandi̱i̱ki̱ri̱ kihandiiko nibahondera bigambu bya Hamani bi̱yaaragi̱i̱ri̱, baaki̱si̱ndi̱ki̱ra banyamasaza ba mukama, bamasaza bensei̱ na bayolo ba bantu bensei̱ mu ndimi za nganda zensei̱ za b̯uli masaza. Kihandiiko ki̱kyo kyahandi̱i̱ki̱i̱rwe mwibara lya Mukama Ahaswero bakitaho kilengeeru kya mpi̱ta. 13 Kihandiiko ki̱kyo kyatwali̱i̱rwe batumwa mu masaza ga b̯u̱b̯wo b̯ukama b̯wensei̱, nikikuragira nti Bayudaaya bensei̱, bato na bahandu̱, bakali̱ na baana, bakusemeera kwi̱twa, babasale kandi babazi̱kye mu kiro ki̱mwei̱. Mu kiro kyokyo ki̱mwei̱, kyei̱ku̱mi̱ na bisatu mweri̱ gwei̱ku̱mi̱ na mibiri gwʼAdaara, banyagwe neitungu lyab̯u. 14 Kihandiiko ki̱kyo baali baakukirangiira nikili nka kiragiro mu masaza gensei̱, bantu bensei̱ ba mahanga gensei̱ bakyege mwa kwetegekera ki̱kyo kiro.
