Mwa iyaakha sinceene, aIsarayeli yaahihaaxiwa. Nuumala-vo, awo yaahimuleela Yehova wira: ‘Noottheka! Xontte munoopole’. AIsarayeli yaahipwexa ilatarato saya sotheene ni yaahitthikela omukokhorela Yehova. Nto Yehova khaaphavela waaweha avikanihaka ohaawa.

Owo aahimuleela Yehova wira: ‘Mwanikhaliherya oxintta ekhotto ela, miyo kinnimmana natiri wira okathi kintthikela aka owaani, kinimoovahani mutthu yoole onirowa opacerya okhuma mpaani mwaka arwaaka okumana ni miyo’.

Wira kimmaliherye natiri owo, kihaana wooroihani wira mwarumeeleke otabernaakulu ya oSilo’. Masi mwanawe ole aahaakhula wira: ‘Paapa, akhala wira mommanela natiri Yehova, muhaana opaka etthu eleihenrye anyu. Mukivahe myeeri miili paahi wira kirowe kahakalale omwaako vamosa ni axaapara aka. Nuumala-vo kiroweke otabernaakulu’. Mwaana a Yefte aahirumeela otabernaakulu okumi awe wotheene. Khula eyaakha axaapara awe yaanirowa omuxukurya oSilo.
