Manaasi, ifula ya Yusefu, ubuhyane bwo beene wage nabo bakahaabwa bwo bwobuno: Makiiri, ifula ya Manaasi, ye na yishe wa Giryadi. Beene Makiiri, byâli bikalage mwiꞌzibo, kyanatuma bagahaabwa ikihugo kyeꞌGiryadi, na kyeꞌBashaani. 
Mu gwogwo mulala gwa Manaasi, ábâli sigiiri, nabo bakahaabwa ubwabo buhyane, ukukulikirana naꞌmakondo gaabo, kuli kudeta Habyezeeri, na Hereki, na Hasiryeri, na Shekemu, na Hefeeri na Shemida. 
Selofehadi, âli riiri mugala Hefeeri, mwijukulu Giryadi. Noꞌyo Giryadi âli riiri mugala Makiiri, mwijukulu Manaasi. Uyo Selofehadi, ndaaye wage mwana woꞌbutabana ye âli busiri. Si âli busiri abaana boꞌbunyere naaho. Naꞌmaziina gaabo gali: Maala, na Nuhu, na Hogula, na Mirika, na Tiriza. 
Yabo banyere, banagendera umugingi Heryazaari, bo na Yoshwa mugala Nuuni, naꞌbandi batwali, banababwira: «Nahano akakyula kwo Musa atuheereze nyiitu ubwitu buhyane mu bwo akaheereza abandu boꞌmulala gwitu.» Noꞌkukulikirana na kwo Nahano âli mali gwanwa akyula, nabo banahaabwa ubwabo buhyane mu beene wabo. 
Ku yukwo, ku bihugo byeꞌGiryadi, na byeꞌBashaani, íbiri uluhande lweꞌsheere lwoꞌlwiji Yorodaani, umulala gwa Manaasi gwanayushuulirwa kweꞌbimaanye ikumi. 
Kwokwo, kwaꞌbanyere boꞌmulala gwa Manaasi bakalonga ubwabo buhyane, nga kwaꞌbashosi nabo bakahaabwa ubweꞌmwabo. Ikihugo kyeꞌGiryadi kyanahaabwa abandi ba mwiꞌkondo lya Manaasi. 
Ulubibi lweꞌkihugo kya Manaasi, lwâli tonderiiri ku kyeꞌmwa Hasheeri, ukulyokera i Mikimeta, uluhande lweꞌsheere lweꞌShekemu. Lwanayikira uluhande lweꞌkisaka, halinde mu batuulaga beꞌHeni-Tapwa. 
Yiki kihugo kyeꞌTapwa, kyâli riiri kyeꞌmwa Manaasi. Si akaaya koonyene keꞌTapwa ákâli riiri ku lubibi, kanaba ka beene Hifurahimu. 
Yulwo lubibi lwanahekera ku ngombe yoꞌlwiji Kana. Ku yukwo, utwaya twoshi útwâli riiri uluhande lweꞌkisaka lwa yulwo lwiji, twanaba twa beene Hifurahimu. Imbembe yalwo, ulubibi lwa Manaasi lwanayutira iwa Nyaaja Mediterane. 
Umulala gwa Hifurahimu, gwanaba uluhande lweꞌmbembe, noꞌgwa Manaasi nagwo uluhande lweꞌkisaka. Iyo Nyaaja Mediterane yanaba ye gababeera lubibi. Umulala gwa Hasheeri gwo gwâli riiri uluhande lweꞌmbembe lwoꞌmulala gwa Manaasi. Noꞌmulala gwa Hisakaari nagwo gwo gwâli riiri uluhande lweꞌsheere. 
Utwaya twoꞌmulala gwa Manaasi gukahaabwa ku buhyane bwa Hisakaari, na ku bwa Hasheeri, natwo, hâli akaaya keꞌBeeti-Shehani, kuguma noꞌtundi twaya two kâli kizi koza, naꞌkeꞌHibulehamu, kuguma noꞌtundi twaya two kâli kizi koza, naꞌbandu ba mu kaaya keꞌDoori, naꞌba mu keꞌHeni-Doori, naꞌba mu keꞌTanaaki, naꞌba mu keꞌMegido, kuguma na boꞌtwaya two twâli kizi koza, kuli kudeta ahandu hashatu áhali mu Doori. 
Ikyanya beene Manaasi bakagira mbu bayimule abatuulaga ba mu yutwo twaya, bitanaziga. Balya Bakaanani nabo bakahiga kwo bagagenderera ukukatuula mwo. 
Kundu kwokwo, ikyanya Abahisiraheeri bakayiji longa imisi mingi, bâli kizi bakoleesa ku kahaati. Si bakayabirwa ukubayimula lwoshi-lwoshi. 
Ha nyuma, beene Yusefu banagendi bwira Yoshwa kwokuno: «Twehe, Nahano keera akatuluza bweneene, keera anatugashaanira. Aaho! Kituma kiki watuheereza ahandu haniniini naaho mu kihugo?» 
Yoshwa, ti: «Bwo keera mwaluguuka, neꞌkihugo íkiri mu migazi ya Hifurahimu kyabaniihira, muzamukirage ngana mu mbako zaꞌBapereesi, na mu zaꞌBarefahimu, munateme, munatuule mwo.» 
Na wa nabo, ti: «Yikyo kihugo, biri ukuli kwo tutagakihasha, bwo kiri mu migazi. Lolaga! Abakaanani ábatuuziri mu ndekeera, booshi bahiiti amagaare geꞌbyuma, kuguma na ábali i Beeti-Shehani, naꞌba mu twaya two bali mu koza, na ábali mu kabanda keꞌYezereheri.» 
Kwokwo, yabo beene Yusefu (kuli kudeta beene Hifurahimu, na beene Manaasi), Yoshwa anabashuvya: «Ku kasiisa, keera nabona kwo muluguusiri, munali bikalage. Ku yukwo, mutangahaabwa ahandu haniini. 
Si yikyo kihugo kyoꞌlubako, nakyo kwakundi kigaaba kyeꞌmwinyu. Na bwo luli lubako, mugalutema, munalutuule mwo. Kundu yabo Bakaanani bali neꞌmisi, banali naꞌmagaare geꞌbyuma, haliko mugabakuusa mwo.»
