7 “Yehova wamuthereska pamaso pinu ŵalwani ŵinu awo ŵamumuwukirani.+ Pakumuwukirani ŵamwiza mu nthowa yimoza, kweni pakuchimbira kwa imwe ŵamulazga mu nthowa 7.+

10 Munthu yumoza pera wa imwe waskerenge ŵanthu 1,000,+ chifukwa Yehova Chiuta winu wakumulwerani,+ nga umo wakamulayizgirani.+

15 Gidiyoni wakati wapulika munthu yura wakulongosora loto na ng’anamuro lake,+ wakasindama na kusopa. Pamanyuma wakawelera ku msasa wa Israyeli, wakati: “Wukani, Yehova wapeleka msasa wa Midiyani mu woko linu.” 16 Kufuma apo, wakagaŵa ŵanalume 300 ŵara mu magulu ghatatu, ndipo wose wakaŵapa mbata+ na viŵiya vikuru vyambura kanthu na miliko* mukati mwa viŵiya.

15 Wakasanga chiwangwa chiphya cha miskati* ya mbunda yanalume. Wakachitora na kukomera ŵanalume 1,000.+ 16 Samusoni wakati:

“Na chiwangwa cha miskati ya mbunda, nalundika chiwunjiko chimoza, viwunjiko viŵiri.

Na chiwangwa cha miskati ya mbunda nakoma ŵanthu 1,000.”+

20 Abishayi+ munung’una wa Yowabu+ wakaŵa mulongozgi pa ŵatatu ŵanyake. Wakachinjika mkondo wake na kukoma ŵanthu 300, ndipo nayo wakamanyikwanga nga mbatatu ŵara.+
