3 Ebi mbisamba bivua Yehowa mulekele bua bishale bua kuteta bena Isalele bonso bavua kabayi baluangane mvita ya mu Kanâna+ 2 (biakenzeka nunku bua bantu ba mu bipungu bia bena Isalele bivua bilonda baluangane mvita, bantu bavua kabayi baluangane mvita kumpala): 3 bakalenge batanu ba bena Peleshete,+ ne bena Kanâna bonso, bena Sidona,+ ne bena Hiwi+ bavua basombele ku mukuna wa Lebanona+ kumbukila ku mukuna wa Bâla-hêmona too ne ku Lebo-hamate.*+ 4 Bisamba ebi bivua mushindu wa kuteta Isalele bua kumanya bikala Isalele mua kutumikila mêyi a Yehowa avuaye mupeshe batatuabu ku butuangaji bua Mose.+ 5 Nunku bena Isalele bavua basombele munkatshi mua bena Kanâna,+ bena Hiti, bena Amole, bena Pelizi, bena Hiwi, ne bena Yebuse. 6 Bena Isalele bavua bangata bana ba bakaji ba bisamba ebi bua bikale bakaji babu, ne bafila bana babu bobu ba bakaji kudi bana ba balume ba bisamba ebi, ne bakabanga kuenzela nzambi yabu mudimu.+
7 Nunku bena Isalele bakenza malu mabi ku mêsu kua Yehowa, bakapua Yehowa Nzambi wabu muoyo, ne bavua benzela Babâla+ ne makunji a tshijila* mudimu.+ 8 Ke tshiji tshia Yehowa kutemenatshi Isalele, yeye kubapana mu tshianza tshia Kushana-lishatayima mukalenge wa Mezopotamia.* Bena Isalele bakenzela Kushana-lishatayima mudimu bidimu muanda mukulu. 9 Pavua bena Isalele babikile Yehowa bua abambuluishe,+ Yehowa wakajula mupandishi bua kusungila bena Isalele:+ Oteniele+ muana wa Kenaza muakunyi wa Kaleba. 10 Nyuma wa Yehowa wakamutulukila,+ yeye kulua mulumbuluishi wa Isalele. Pavuaye muye ku mvita, Yehowa wakafila Kushana-lishatayima mukalenge wa Mezopotamia* mu tshianza tshiende, nunku yeye kutshimuna Kushana-lishatayima. 11 Nunku buloba buakashala mu dikisha* bidimu 40. Pashishe Oteniele muana wa Kenaza wakafua.
12 Pashishe bena Isalele bakabanga kabidi kuenza malu mabi ku mêsu kua Yehowa.+ Nunku Yehowa wakalekela Egelona mukalenge wa Moaba+ utshimuna Isalele, bualu bakenza malu mabi ku mêsu kua Yehowa. 13 Yeye wakalua kabidi kudibu ne bena Amona+ ne bena Amaleka.+ Bakela Isalele mvita, bobu kukuata tshimenga tshia mabue a ngaji.+ 14 Bena Isalele bakenzela Egelona mukalenge wa Moaba mudimu bidimu 18.+ 15 Pashishe bena Isalele bakabikila Yehowa bua abambuluishe,+ nunku Yehowa wakabajudila mupandishi:+ Ehuda+ muana wa Gela, muena Benyamina+ uvua ne luboko.+ Pakapita matuku bena Isalele bakamutuma ne mulambu kudi Egelona mukalenge wa Moaba. 16 Tshikondo atshi, Ehuda wakadienzela muele wa mvita wa ntapa kubidi wa bule bua nkubita* umue, yeye kuwusuikila pa tshibelu tshia dia balume muinshi mua tshilamba tshiende. 17 Pashishe wakafila mulambu kudi Egelona mukalenge wa Moaba. Kadi Egelona uvua muntu wa mubidi munene menemene.
18 Pavua Ehuda mujikije kufila mulambu, wakapingaja bantu bavua bambule mulambu. 19 Kadi pakafikabu muaba wa mpingu misonga* ku Gilegala,+ yeye nkayende wakalukila, kuambaye ne: “Mukalenge, ndi ne bualu busokoka bua kukuambila.” Nunku mukalenge wakamba ne: “Puwayi!” Ke bena mudimu bende bonso kumushiyabu. 20 Nunku Ehuda wakaya kudiye pavuaye musombe nkayende mu nzubu wende wa kuulu muvua mutalale. Ke Ehuda kuamba ne: “Ndi ne mukenji webe wa kudi Nzambi.” Nunku yeye wakajuka mu nkuasa wende wa bumfumu.* 21 Ke Ehuda kupatula muele ku tshibelu tshiende tshia dia balume ne tshianza tshiende tshia dia bakaji, yeye kumubuejawu mu difu. 22 Tshilabi kubuelatshi ne muele, ne mafuta kubuikilawu muele, bualu kavua mupatule muele mu difu diende to, ne tumvi kupatukatu. 23 Ehuda wakapatukila mu lutanda,* kuinjilaye biibi bia nzubu wa kuulu panyima pende, yeye kubikanga ne nsapi. 24 Pakayaye, bena mudimu bakalukila, kumonabu ne: biibi bia nzubu wa kuulu bivua bikanga ne nsapi. Ke bobu kuamba ne: “Udi ne bua kuikala usesuka* mu nzubu wende wa munda mudi mutalale.” 25 Bakatungunuka ne kuindila too ne pavuabi bibatonde, kadi pakamonabu ne: kavua anu ukangula biibi bia nzubu wa kuulu, bakangata nsapi, bobu kubikangula, kumonabu mukalenge wabu mudishinde panshi* mufue!
26 Patshivuabu bajingakana, Ehuda wakanyema, kupitshilaye muaba wa mpingu misonga,*+ kufikaye ku Seila kakuyi bualu. 27 Pakafikaye, wakela mpungi+ mu buloba bua mikuna bua Efelayima;+ bena Isalele bakapueka bafumina mu buloba bua mikuna, yeye muikale ku mutu kuabu. 28 Ke yeye kubambila ne: “Ndondayi, bualu Yehowa mmufile bena lukuna benu bena Moaba mu tshianza tshienu.” Nunku bakamulonda, bobu kukuata bisabu bia ku Yadene bua kupangisha bena Moaba bua kusabuka, ne kabakalekela muntu nansha umue usabuka to. 29 Tshikondo atshi bakashipa bena Moaba batue ku binunu 10,+ bonso bikale bantu balume ba bukole ne ba bukitu; muntu nansha umue kakanyema to.+ 30 Nunku dituku adi Moaba wakakokeshibua muinshi mua tshianza tshia Isalele; ne buloba buakashala mu dikisha* bidimu 80.+
