Atyanu omu biseera ebyo, oYuda yazwire eeri abagandabe, nʼayaba omu kibuga kyʼAdulaamu era eeyo nʼabba mutyami okumpi nʼomusaiza oMwadulaamu, eriinalye bati Kira. 
Era eeyo, oYuda nʼasunayo omwala wa musaiza ogubeeta bati Suuwa oMukanani. OYuda nʼafumbirwa omwala oyo, era oweyeegaitire naye, 
omwala nʼabba kida nʼabyala omwana mwisuka, oYuda nʼamuwa eriina ati, Eri. 
Nʼabba kida tete, nʼabyala omwana mwisuka, nʼamuwa eriina ati, Onani. 
Era tete nʼabyala omwana mwisuka, nʼamuwa eriina ati, Seera. Era omu kiseera ekyo owebabyaliire omwana oyo babbaire Kezibbu. 
Oluzwanyuma nga wabitirewo ekiseera, oYuda nʼakwera Eri omwanawe omubere, omukali eriinalye Tamali. 
Neye Eri, omwana wa Yuda omubere, yabbaire akola ebikole ebibbibibbi era ekyo nga tikisangaalya oMusengwa, kale oMusengwa nʼamwita. 
Awo oYuda nʼakoba Onani ati, “Osike omuka mugandawo, era otuukirirye obuvunaanyizibwabwo nga iwe omwiziwe, kaisi omu ngeri eyo osunire omugandawo abaana.” 
Neye Onani yamaite ati abaana tibalibba babe. Kale oweyeegaitanga nʼonamwandu oyo, amaizi yagasukanga ansi kaisi tiyasunira omugandawe abaana. 
Ekiyakolere ni kitasangaalya oMusengwa. Kale nʼoyo yena oMusengwa nʼamwita. 
Awo oYuda nʼakoba oTamali omulyawe ati, “Okange omu kisito kya iteewo era osigale ngʼoli namwandu, paka omwana wange oSeera oweyakula nʼabba ngʼatuukire okukusika.” Yakobere atyo, olwʼokubba yatiire ati nʼoyo yena ayinza okufa ngʼabagandabe. Kale oTamali nʼayaba nʼatyama omu kisito kya iteeye. 
Oluzwanyuma lwʼekiseera ekiwanvu, omuka Yuda, omwala wa Suuwa nʼafa. Ebiseera ebyʼokukunga owebyawoireku, oYuda nʼayaba e Timuna eeri abasaiza ababbaire bali kusalaku entaamagye ebyoya. Eeyo yaabire nʼomukaagwawe oKira oMwadulaamu. 
Atyanu omuntu oweyakobeire oTamali ati, “Oisibyalawo ayaba e Timuna okusalaku entaamagye ebyoya.” 
OTamali yabbaire akimaite ati oSeera yakulire neye ni batamumuwa okumusika. Kale ni yeeyambulyamu ebizwalo ebyʼobwanamwandu nʼazwala ebindi. Era ni yeebbuulisya ekitambaala oku mutwe nʼomumaiso abantu okutamumanyica. Awo nʼayaba nʼatyama oku mulyango gwʼekikomera kyʼEnaimu, ekibuga ekiri oku nzira eyaba e Timuna. 
Awo oYuda oweyaboine oTamali, nʼaseega ati malaaya, olwʼokubba yabbaire yeebiikire omumaiso. 
Kale oYuda nʼayaba e gyali oku mbale kwʼenzira, nʼamukoba ati, “Oize ntaka kwegaita na iwe,” nga tamumanyica ati mulyawe. OTamali nʼamubuulya ati, “Wampa niki kaisi weegaite na nze?” 
OYuda nʼamwiramu ati, “Nakuweererya ombuli omutomuto okuzwa omu kiraalo kyange.” OTamali nʼamubuulya ati, “Wampa musingoki kaisi nkakase nti wampeererya ombuli?” 
OYuda yena nʼamubuulya ati, “Musingoki ogumbe nkuwe?” OTamali nʼamwiramu ati, “Empeta eriku eriinalyo nʼakasibiro kaaku, nʼomukoomero ogwokwaite.” Kale oYuda nʼabimuwa, ni yeegaita naye era nʼamuwa ekida. 
Awo oTamali nʼakanga e waabwe, ni yeetoolaku ekitambaala oku mutwe, nʼazwala tete ebizwalobye ebyʼobwanamwandu. 
Oluzwanyuma oYuda nʼatuma omukaagwawe oKira oMwadulaamu okutwalira oTamali ombuli omutomuto, era atooleyo omusingo, neye oKira nandi nʼamubona. 
Kale oKira nʼabuulya abamo oku basaiza abʼEnaimu ati, “Omukali omalaaya eyabbaire atyaime aanu oku nzira, ali yaina?” Ni bairamu bati, “Aanu tiwabbangakuuwo mukali omalaaya.” 
Kale oKira nʼakanga egiri oYuda, nʼamukoba ati, “Timmuboine. Era abasaiza abʼEnaimu bakobere bati, ‘Aanu tiwabbangakuuwo mukali omalaaya.’ ” 
Awo oYuda nʼamukoba ati, “Oleke asigaze ebintu ebyo, abantu tibatusekerera, kasita namuweereirye ombuli oyo omutomuto, neye iwe nandi nʼomubona.” 
Owewabitirewo emyeri ngʼemisatu, ni bakobera oYuda bati, “OTamali omulyawo, yakolere obwamalaaya, era atyanu ali kida.” Awo oYuda nʼalagira ati, “Mumuwuluce omu kibuga era mumwoce.” 
Owebabbaire bamubuluca, nʼasindikira oisibyalawe obukwenda bunu obuti, “Omusaiza onanyere ebintu binu, niiye eyampaire ekida. Nkwegairiire, weetegereze empeta eriku akasibiro nʼomukoomero, binu byani?” 
OYuda oweyaboine ebintu nago nʼabitegeera, nʼakoba ati, “Omukali oyo ankirireku, niiye omutuuce olwʼokubba tinamuwaire oSeera omutaane wange okumusika.” Era oYuda nandi nʼairayo okwegaita naye omulundi ogundi. 
Atyanu ekiseera kya Tamali ekyʼokubyala owekyatuukire, ni kimanyikana ngʼayaba kubyala balongo. 
Oweyabbaire ngʼalumwa okubyala, omoiza oku baana nʼawulucaaku engaloye. Kale omubyalisya nʼagikwata, nʼagisibaku ewuuzi entukuliki ngʼakoba ati, “Onu niiye asookere okuwuluka.” 
Neye omwana oweyakanjiryeyo engaloye, omugandawe nʼawuluka omu kida. Omubyalisya nʼakoba ati, “Ee, otyo bwʼoyazirye nʼowuluka!” Kale ni bamuwa eriina bati, Pereezi. 
Oluzwanyuma omugandawe eyabbaireku ewuuzi entukuliki oku ngalo nʼawuluka, era ni bamuwa eriina bati, Zeera.
