Baabaghila bati, “Mukama akalaghila Musa kutuha nsi nga bugwetuwa bwatu, hamui na baana baani̱naatu̱we baabusaasa.” Nahabweki kusighikila ngoku Mukama aabu̱ghi̱ye, Yosuwa aabaha nsi mu baghenji̱ baa esebo. 
Eki niikiyo kyaleki̱ye ntu̱la ya Manase yaatunga mighabo eku̱mi̱ kwongela haa kyalo kya Gi̱li̱yaadi̱ na Bbasaani, eghi eli luhande lweli̱ lwa maasi Yolodaani̱.
