Onkao mambo, batumbile yoya mpunzha amba Holama.*+

4 Byo batwajijile na lwendo lwabo kufuma ku Mutumba wa Hola,+ bapichile mu jishinda jaya ku Kalunga ka Mema Kachila kuba’mba babule kupita mu kyalo kya Edomu,+ kabiji bantu bakookele bingi na mambo a lwendo. 5 Kabiji bantu batwajijiletu na kunena Lesa ne Mosesa+ amba: “Mambo ka o mwitufumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita kuba’mba tufwile mu kiselebwa? Muno kafwamo kajo nangwa mema,+ kabiji atweba* twashikwa* bingi kano kajo katama.”+ 6 Onkao mambo, Yehoba watumijile bantu miloolo ya bulembe,* kabiji yasuminenga bantu kya kuba bena Isalela bavula bafwile.+

7 Onkao mambo, bantu baishile kwi Mosesa ne kumwambila’mba: “Twalenga mambo pa kunena Yehoba ne obewa.+ Tusashijileko kwi Yehoba kuba’mba afumye miloolo pe atweba.” Ne Mosesa wibasashijileko bantu.+ 8 Kepo Yehoba aambijile Mosesa amba: “Bunda kipashañano kya yoyo miloolo ya bulembe* ne kwikikobeka pa kichi. Kabiji muntu yense ye basuma umvwe watalako ku kino kipashañano, kechi usakufwa ne.” 9 Ponkapo Mosesa wabunjile muloolo wa mukuba+ ne kumukobeka pa kichi,+ kabiji umvwe muloolo wasuma muntu, wapulukilengatu inge watala ku muloolo wa mukuba.+

10 Ponkapo bena Isalela baimene lwendo ne kukatebelela ku Obote.+ 11 Kabiji bafumine ku Obote ne kukatebelela ku Iye-abalimu+ mu kiselebwa kyatajile ku Moabu ku musela. 12 Kabiji bafumine kuno ne kukatebelela ku Kimpachiko* kya Zeleda.+ 13 Byo bafumineko, bakatebelejile ku mpunzha ya Alanonyi+ yajinga mu kiselebwa kyafika ku mupaka wa bena Amoli, mambo Alanonyi ye mupaka wa Moabu, waabenye bena Moabu ne bena Amoli. 14 O ene mambo buku wa Makondo a Yehoba o ambila’mba “Waheba wa mu Sufwa ne bimpachiko* bya Alanonyi, 15 ne mikolo* ya bimpachiko* byafika mu mande a mu Ala ne kusambakana na mupaka wa Moabu.”

16 Kabiji bayile ku Beela. Uno ye mushima Yehoba ko aambijile Mosesa amba: “Konkanya bantu pamo kuba’mba nebape mema.”

17 Pa kyonkakya kimye, bena Isalela baimbile uno lwimbo amba:

“Obewa mushima, tupaukanga mema! Welelai!*

Kepo bafumine mu kiselebwa ne kuya ku Matana. 19 Kufuma ku Matana bayile ku Nahaliyeli, kabiji byo bafumine ku Nahaliyeli bayile ku Bamoti.+ 20 Kabiji bafumine ku Bamoti ne kuya ku kimpachiko kyajinga mu mpunzha* ya Moabu+ peulu ya mpunzha ya Pishika+ kutala ku Yeshimonyi.*+

21 Kepo bena Isalela batumine baluwe kuya na kubuula Sihona, mfumu wa bena Amoli amba:+ 22 “Tuswishai tupite mu kyalo kyenu. Kechi tusakupita mu majimi nangwa mu majimi a miñanzañanza ne. Kabiji kechi tusakutoma mema a mu mishima yenu ne. Tusakupitatu mu Mukwakwa wa Mfumu posotu ne byo tusakupita mu kyalo kyenu.”+ 23 Bino Sihona kechi waswishishe bena Isalela kupita mu kyalo kyanji ne. Pakuba Sihona wakonkenye pamo bantu banji bonse ne kupupila bena Isalela mu kiselebwa, kabiji bafikile ku Yahaza ne kutendeka kulwa na bena Isalela.+ 24 Bino bena Isalela bamushinjile na mpoko+ ne kwangata kyalo kyanji+ kufuma ku Alanonyi+ kukafika ne ku Yaboka,+ kwipi na bena Amonyi, mambo Yazela+ ye wajinga mupaka na bena Amonyi.+

25 Onkao mambo, bena Isalela baangachile ino mizhi yonse ne kutendeka kwikala mu mizhi ya bena Amoli,+ mu Heshibonyi ne mu mande anji* onse. 26 Mambo Heshibonyi wajinga muzhi wa kwa Sihona mfumu wa bena Amoli, yenka walwile na mfumu wa bena Moabu ne kwangata kyalo kyanji kyonse kukafikatu ne ku Alanonyi. 27 Akino kyo kyalengelejile kwamba byambo bya myendeleko amba:

“Iyai ku Heshibonyi.

Shimikai muzhi wa kwa Sihona ne kukosesha bitendekesho byanji.

28 Mambo mujilo wafumine mu Heshibonyi, lubebe lwafumine mu muzhi wa kwa Sihona.

Wasokele muzhi wa Ala wa mu Moabu, bankambo ba mapunzha atuntama a Alanonyi.

29 Malwa obe obewa Moabu! Bakemonauna, anweba bantu ba kwa Kemoshi!+

Walengela baana banji ba balume kwikala bakapitemo ne baana banji ba bakazhi kwikala bazha ba kwa Sihona mfumu wa bena Amoli.

31 Onkao mambo, bena Isalela bakekajile mu kyalo kya bena Amoli. 32 Kepo Mosesa atumine banabalume kuya na kwendela muzhi wa Yazela.+ Baangachile mande anji* ne kupangamo bena Amoli baikalangamo. 33 Byo bapwishishe kuba bino, baalulukile ne kuya mu jishinda jaya ku Bashana. Kabiji Oga+ mfumu wa Bashana waishile na bantu banji bonse ne kulwa nabo nkondo konka ku Edeleyi.+ 34 Kepo Yehoba aambijile Mosesa amba: “Kange umuchine ne,+ mambo amiwa nsakukupaye, bantu banji bonse ne kyalo kyanji,+ kabiji ukamuba byonka byo waubile Sihona mfumu wa bena Amoli waikalanga mu Heshibonyi.”+ 35 Byonkabyo, bamwipayile aye, baana banji ne bantu banji bonse, kabiji kafwako nangwa umo wapulukile ne,+ ne kyalo kyanji bekyangachile.+
