Abaisraheli bayusa myaka minji bali balibuka. Buzinda babwira Yehova ntya: ‘Rhwajijire ecaha. Wekasinga orhuyokole kurhenga oku bashombanyi birhu.’ Abaisraheli bashereza ensanamu zabo banashub’irhondera baharamya Yehova. Yehova arhal’ilonzize abone gurhi bagendekire balibuka.

Abwira Yehova ntya: ‘Erhi wakarhurhabala rhukahima er’ivita, nkulaganyize oku hano ngaluka emwani, nakuha omuntu murhanzi wayishiyisha al’inyankirira.’ Yehova ayumvirhiza isala lya Yifta anamurhabala ly’ahima er’ivita.

Lyo ncihikiriza, bihunyire oje e Shilo ly’oyish’ikakolera ebw’ihema ly’entimanano.’ Cikone mwali wage aderha ntya: ‘Larha, akaba wahire Yehova eciragane, oshinganine ocihikirize. Nkuhûnyire kone ondeke ngend’iyusa myezi ibirhi omu ntondo haguma n’abîra bani b’abanyere. Enyuma z’aho nanagenda.’ Mwali wa Yifta akolera ebw’ihema ly’entimanano n’obwishwekerezi akalamo kage koshi. Ngasi mwaka, abîra bage bakag’imulambagirira e Shilo.
