8 O mayala akwa Efalayíme ambela Ngidiyone, exi: “Mukonda dyahi wabhange o kima kiki n’etu? Mukonda dyahi kutwixana kyoso ki wayi mubhânga ni akwa Midiyana?” Ene anga azoka-nê kyavulu. 2 Kyenyiki, mwene wa atambwijila, wixi: “O isaka ya jiuva ikanza akwa Efalayíme ki yabeta-kota o ya akwa Abiyezele ndenge? 3 Nzambi wabhakula bhu mak’wenu Olebe ni Ziyebe, o ilamba ya akwa Midiyana. Ihi ingabhange mu kudisokesa n’enu?” Kyoso Ngidiyone kyazwela kiki, ene atululuka.

4 Mukusuluka, Ngidiyone wabhixila ku ngiji ya Njolodá, yu wazawuka o ngiji ya Njolodá. Mwene ni hama jitatu ja mayala akexile ni mwene atohokele maji né kiki, asuluka ni kukaya o jinguma. 5 Kyenyiki, Ngidiyone wambela o mayala akwa Sukote, wixi: “Ngamidyondo bhanenu jimbolo ku mayala a mukwenda n’eme, mukonda abhwila. Eme nga mukaya o jisobha ja akwa Midiyana, Zeba ni Zalumuna.” 6 Kyenyiki o ilamba ya akwa Sukote, exi: “O kwila Zeba ni Zalumuna* wa akwata kya, phala tubhane jimbolo ku kifuxi kyé kya masoladi?” 7 Ngidiyone watambwijila, wixi: “Kyoso Jihova kyanda bhakula Zeba ni Zalumuna bhu maku ami, nganda mibhana kibetu ni muxi wa minya wa kikangalakata.” 8 Mwene anga ubanda ku Penuwele yu wabhingi we jimbolo ku mayala akwa Penuwele, o mayala akwa Penuwele a mutambwijila kala kya mutambwijile o mayala akwa Sukote. 9 Mukyenyiki, mwene wambela o mayala akwa Penuwele, wixi: “Kyoso kinganda vutuka ni kutululuka, nganda bula o sabhalalu yenu.”

10 Zeba ni Zalumuna akexile ku Kadikodi ni kifuxi kya masoladi mâ, ene atenesa dikwinyi ni kitanu kya midi a mayala. Yá ene asubhukile ku kifuxi kyoso kya masoladi kya mbandu ya thunda, mukonda kwafwile hama ni makwinyi ayadi a midi a masoladi exile ni jixibhata. 11 Ngidiyone wasuluka ni kubanda o njila iya kate ku athu atungile ku mbandu kutundila o dikumbi ku Noba ni ku Jokebeha, yu wayi mubhânga ni masoladi akambele kudisokejeka phala o ita. 12 Kyoso Zeba ni Zalumuna kyalenge, mwene wa akayela yu wakwata o jisobha jiyadi jiji ja Midiyana, Zeba ni Zalumuna. O kifuxi kyoso kya masoladi anga kithandanganya.

13 Ngidiyone mon’a Jowáji watundu mu ita yu wejila ku kamulundu ka Helese. 14 Mu njila, mwene wakwata munzangala mukwa Sukote yu wa mwibhwidisa. O munzangala wasoneka o majina a ilamba ni a adyakime akwa Sukote yu wa mubhana-wu. Mu mukanda mwexile makwinyi asambwadi ni sambwadi a majina. 15 Mukusuluka, mwene wayi ku mayala akwa Sukote yu wa ambela, wixi: “Zeba ni Zalumuna ya bhabha, kuma mwa ngixongwena mukonda dya ene, mukwamba: ‘O kwila Zeba ni Zalumuna* wa akwata kya phala tubhane jimbolo ku masolodi mé abhwila* ni nzala?’” 16 Kyenyiki, mwene wakwata o adyakime a mbanza ya Sukote yu wa abeta ni muxi wa minya wakatula mu kikangalakata. 17 Mwene wabulu o sabhalalu ya Penuwele yu wajibha o mayala a mbanza.

18 Mwene webhwidisa Zeba ni Zalumuna, wixi: “Kyebhi kyadifwile o mayala u mwajibha ku Tabola?” Ene a mutambwijila, exi: “Ene adifwile n’eye. Kala muthu mudya, wedile kala mon’a sobha.” 19 Kyenyiki mwene wa ambela: “Ene exile jiphange jami, ana a mam’etu. Kala Jihova kyene ku mwenyu, se ki mwa ajibhile, eme we kingeji mijibha.” 20 Mwene wambela mon’ê wa phande-kumbi Jetéle, wixi: “Balumuka ndé wa ajibhe!” Maji o munzangala kakatula o xibhata, mwene wexile ni woma mukonda wexile hanji munzangala. 21 Kyenyiki, Zeba ni Zalumuna amwambela, exi: “Tujibhe eye mwene, kuma o diyala a mufundisa mukonda dya nguzu yê.” Mukiki, Ngidiyone wajibha Zeba ni Zalumuna, yu wakatula o makembu akexile mu xingu ya jikamelu jâ, oyudike mu kidifwa kya mbeji.

22 Ku pholo dya kwenda o mayala akwa Izalayele ambela Ngidiyone, exi: “Kala u mutwameni wetu, kikale eye ni mon’é ni mulawul’é, mukonda watubhulula bhu maku a akwa Midiyana.” 23 Ngidiyone-phe wa ambela, wixi: Eme kinganda mitumina, mon’ami kanda mitumina we. Jihova mwéne wanda mitumina. 24 Ngidiyone wambe dingi, wixi: “Nganda mibhinga ngo kima kimoxi: Ngibhanyenu o jibixa jimwatambula ku jinguma.” (Kuma akwa Ijimayele akexile muta jibixa mu mazulu.) 25 Ene a mwambela: “Mukidi, twanda kubhana.” Kyenyiki, kala diyala wakatula bixa imoxi ku ima yê yakatula ku jinguma, yu wa itakula bhu divunga. 26 O jibixa ja ulu jabhingi mwene, jatenesa midi hama sambwadi ajixikulu* ja ulu, ku kwadite o makembu a abhange mu ukexilu wa mbeji, o jibixa, o izwatu yakusuka yakexile muzwata o jisobha ja akwa Midiyana ni misanga yakexile muta ku jikamelu.

27 Ngidiyone wakwata o ulu yu wabhange éfode anga u itula mu mbanza yê ku Ofila. Mukiki, akwa Izalayele akala mubheza* kwenyoko, o éfode anga idibhanga mubhetu phala Ngidiyone ni akwa dibhata dyê.

28 Kyenyiki, akwa Midiyana a atolola ku akwa Izalayele, ene kakexile dingi mu akusa.* O ixi ikala ni kutululuka mu makwinyi awana a mivu mu izuwa ya Ngidiyone.

29 Jelubahale mon’a Jowaji, uvutuka kubhata dyê anga ukala kwenyoko.

30 Ngidiyone wexile ni makwinyi asambwadi a ana,* mukonda wexile ni ahatu avulu. 31 O muhatu wakexile ku Xikeme, wa muvwalela we mon’a diyala, yu wa muluku o dijina dya Abimeleke. 32 Ngidiyone mon’a Jowaji wafu, a mufundu mumbila ya tat’ê Jowaji, ku Ofila ya akwa Abiyezele. Mwene wakukile mwene kyavulu.

33 Ki kulaleka kyavulu kyoso Ngidiyone kyafu, akwa Izalayele avutuka mu kubheza* o jinzambi ja makutu ya asolo Bahale-Belite kala nzambi yâ. 34 Akwa Izalayele ajimbi Jihova Nzambi yâ, wa abhulula bhu maku a jinguma jâ joso ja akondolokele. 35 Ene kalondekesa henda né ngo ku dibhata dya Jelubahale, kifwa Ngidiyone, kumbote yoso yabhange ku Izalayele.
