Mulayilo wa Yefeta

Bena Isalele abaadi batombokiele dingi Yehowa babanga kulanguila b’efile ba madimi. Nsaa ibaadi bena Amone batuukie bena Isalele ngoshi, b’efile baabo tababaadi bebapaashe nya. Bena Isalele abaadi bakiengie munda mua bipua bibungi. Kunyima, abalunguile Yehowa shi: ‘Tui bakuluishiishe. Kumina namu kuitupaasha kui beshikuanyi n’etu.’ Bena Isalele nkusaasula ma nkishi aabo, abo nkubanga kulanguila Yehowa dingi. Yehowa tabaadi akumiina kuibamona dingi kuabakiengie nya.

Abaadi basangule Yefeta bua kukunkusha muilo buabadia kulua ngoshi na bena Amone. Yefeta baadi mulungule Yehowa shi: ‘Su wetukuasha bua kutshokola ngoshi, natshipi kumpala koobe shi, pangalukiila ku nshibo, muntu a kumpala atuuku mu nshibo muande afikie mu kunkuukila, nakupa anka.’ Yehowa bapushiishe luteko lua Yefeta, aye nkumukuasha bua kutshokola ngoshi.

Pabaadi Yefeta mualukiile ku nshibo, nsonguakashi aaye umune eeleka nyi batukile mu kumukuukila. Batuukile na kusha na koombanga katumba. Yefeta badia kukita naminyi? Baadi mutentekieshe mulayilo waye aakula’shi: ‘Aa, muan’ande mukashi! Bontuesha mu malua. Ne mukite mulayilo kui Yehowa. Bua kuiulombasha, abitungu nkutume mu kufuba ku tabernakele ku Shilo.’ Kadi muan’aye bamulunguile shi: ‘Nshami, su we mulee Yehowa, abitungu kuibilombasha. Anka nakutekie shi ngiende na kuwumbakana munda mua mieshi ibidi na ba loole bande mu miengie. Su kubaapu ndio nyende.’ Nsonguakashi a Yefeta baafubile na lulamato looso ku tabernakele mu muwa waye ooso. Ku kipua kioso ba loole baaye abendanga ku Shilo mu kumutembela.
