10 Bhalamu atawira Mulungu wandimomwene: “Bhalaki mwana wa Zipori mambo wa ku Moabhe, anditumizira mphangwa, mbalonga kuti: 11 ‘Kuno kwafika anthu adabuluka ku dziko ya Ejitu, iwo adzala konsene kwene mu dziko ino. Cincino bwera kuno toera undipasire+ dzedze anthu awa. Panango ndinakwanisa kumenyana nawo mbandiathamangisa.’”

11 Penepo Bhalaki apanga Bhalamu: “Ninji pidandicitira iwe? Ine ndakubweresa kuno toera upase dzedze anyamalwa anga, mbwenye basi ene iwe waapasa+ nkhombo.”
