19 Mu aa mafuku akushibaadi nfumu su ngumune mu Isalele, ungi muina Levi baadi mushale mu kipindi ki kula kia nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime, batshile ungi muana mukashi* a ku Beteleme mu Yunda bu mukashi aaye. 2 Anka mukashi aaye tabaadi na lulamato kuadi, na aye nkumuleka nkuenda ku nshibo ya nshaye ku Beteleme mu Yunda. Aye nkushala kuakua munda mua mieshi inanka. 3 Akupu mulume aaye nkumulonda bua kumukuminyisha bua’shi alukiile; baadi na mufubi aaye mulume na mpunda ibidi. Biabia mukashi aaye nkumutuesha mu nshibo ya nshaye. Pabaadi nshaye mumumone, baadi mupushe muloo pa kuimonena naye. 4 Biabia muko aaye mulume, nshaye na nsonguakashi, nkumukuminyisha bua’shi ashale naye mafuku asatu; na babaadi abadi na abatomo, na baadi alala kuakua.
5 Muifuku dia kananka, pabaabadi babuukie ku namashika buee bua kuenda, nshaye na nsonguakashi balunguile muko aaye mulume’shi: “Dia kantu bua’shi opete bukome,* akupu nuibalombene kuenda.” 6 Biabia abo nkushala, na boso babidi nkudia na nkutoma pamune; akupu nshaye na nsonguakashi nkulungula yawa muntu’shi: “Lala namu dingi buno bufuku na w’ekale na muloo.”* 7 Pabaadi yawa muntu muibuee bua kuenda, muko aaye mulume baadi mutungunukie na kumusendeela, biabia aye nkulala dingi bungi bufuku.
8 Muifuku dia katano pabaabadi babuukie ku namashika buee bua kuenda, nshaye na nsonguakashi bakuile’shi: “Dia namu kantu bua kupeta bukome.”* Na abo nkuyisha mpa na pepi na ku kiolua, na boso babidi abaadi nka abadi. 9 Pabaadi yawa muntu muibuee bua kuenda na mukashi aaye na mufubi aaye, muko aaye mulume, nshaye na nsonguakashi, bamulunguile’shi: “Tala, binobino! Kiolua takidi pepi. Lala namu dingi buno bufuku. Efuku t’adiende mu kupua. Lala namu dingi buno bufuku na w’ekale na muloo. Malooba nuikubuuka ku namashika buee bua kuenda na w’alukiile ku nshibo* yobe.” 10 Anka yawa muntu tabaadi mukumiine kushala dingi bungi bufuku, biabia bebueele, enda mpa na ku Yebuse, kuamba’shi, Yelusalema. Baadi na mpunda ibidi yanye bishalelo na mukashi aaye na mufubi aaye.
11 Pabaabadi bafikie pepi na Yebuse, mufito ubaadi upue kuela. Biabia mufubi nkulungula nfumu aaye’shi: “Tui kuimana mu kino kibundi kia bena Yebuse bua kulala pano su?” 12 Anka nfumu aaye nkumulungula’shi: “T’abitungu tuimane mu kibundi kia bantu benyi bashi bena Isalele. Atuende mpa na ku Gibeya.” 13 Akupu aye nkulungula mufubi aaye’shi: “Fika na tutompe nkafika ku imune ya ku aa ma mbalo; tui kulala ku Gibeya sunga ku Rama.” 14 Biabia babatungunukile na luendo luabo, na nguba tabaadi apono pabaabadi pepi na Gibeya, muikale a Benyamine.
15 Biabia abo nkuimana kuakua na nkutuela bua kulala mu Gibeya. Pabaabadi batuele, babaadi bashale mu mbalo ya bantu boso ya kibundi, anka muntu su ngumune tabaadi muibatueshe mu nshibo yaye buabadia kulala. 16 Nfudiilo a bioso kiakia kiolua, ungi muntu mununu nkualukiila ku mufubo waye ku mafuba. Baadi a ku nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime, baadi mushale mu Gibeya munda mua mafuku; anka bantu babaadi bashale mu kiakia kibundi babaadi bena Benyamine. 17 Pabatadile na amona muina luendo mu mbalo ya bantu boso ya kibundi, yawa muntu mununu bamuipuishe’shi: “Okuete kuenda kunyi, na ofiki kunyi?” 18 Aye nkumualula’shi: “Atukatukila ku Beteleme mu Yunda, atuende ku mbalo i kula ya mu nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime, kuakua nyi kuande. Nekalanga muende ku Beteleme mu Yunda, na nkuete kuenda ku nshibo ya Yehowa,* anka takui muntu su ngumune bantuesha mu nshibo yaye. 19 Tui na lubishi na bidibua bikumbane bua mpunda yetu, na mikate na nfinyo, buande, bua muana mukashi na bua mufubi eetu. Takui kintu kikutshikue.” 20 Anka yawa muntu mununu nkuakula’shi: “Butaale buikale nobe! Ntadiile nkupe kioso kiodi nakio lukalo. Anka tolalanga mu mbalo ya bantu boso.” 21 Nyi aye nkumutuala mu nshibo muaye na nkupa mpunda bia kudia.* Akupu abo nkuitumpa ku ngua, nkudia na nkutoma.
22 Pabaabadi bashale abadi bia kudia biabo na muloo, bangi bantu ba bisumanga ba mu kibundi abaadi befunyishe nshibo na abaadi abakupila ku kiibi, na abo nkulungula yawa muntu mununu sha nshibo’shi: “Tuusha muntu tuelele mu nshibo mobe bua’shi tulaale naye.” 23 Nyi sha nshibo nkutuuka na nkuibalungula’shi: “Nya bakuetu, tanukitanga muanda wi bubi. Uno muntu nyi muenyi mu nshibo muande. Tanukitanga kino kikitshino ki buufu. 24 Muana ande mukashi ki kamame na mukashi a uno muntu biabadi’bi. Tadiilayi nebatuushe kuanudi, na nuibalombene kuibakuatshisha buufu su anukumiina.* Anka t’abitungu nukitshine uno muntu kino kikitshino ki buufu.”
25 Anka baba bantu nkupela kumuteemesha, biabia yawa muntu nkukuata mukashi aaye na nkumutuusha kuabadi. Abo nkulala naye pabukopo na nkumuluisha bufuku bushima mpa na ku namashika. Akupu abo nkumualusha pa kutooka kua bufuku. 26 Ku namashika buee, yawa muana mukashi bafikile na apona ku kituelelo kia nshibo ya yawa muntu mubaadi nfumu aaye, na aye nkulala paapa mpa na pabubatookiele. 27 Pabaadi nfumu aaye mubuukie ku namashika na afungula bibelo bia nshibo bua kubanguula luendo luaye, bamuene yawa muana mukashi, mukashi aaye mmulaale ku kituelelo kia nshibo na maboko aaye mu kibelo. 28 Nyi aye nkumulungula’shi: “Buuka tuende.” Anka tabaadi mualuule. Akupu yawa muntu nkumutuula pa mpunda na nkuenda naye ku nshibo kuaye.
29 Pabafikile ku nshibo kuaye, batshile kapete ka kusaa nako, akuata mukashi aaye na amutshiba bipindi bipindi, mu bipindi 12 na atuma kipindi kimune kimune mu bipindi bioso bia nsenga ya Isalele. 30 Boso babebimuene babakuile’shi: “Kashaa muanda wi bino tawakitshikile sunga kumueneka kubanga efuku dibaadi bena Isalele batuukie mu eumbo dia Ejipitu mpa na lelo uno. Eutaluuleyi,* nuipushene, na nuitulungule kia kukita.”
