1 Bahi, Akung'i Akolo akaakonya Asitefano, "Bholi, hikubho heye nga ya kweli?"

2 Nabhena Asitefano akalobhola, "Akaanung'una bhangu na akaatati bhangu, nnyoanikiange! Annoongo bha ng'anyimo akaabhokela anahota bhitu Abulahamu pabhakibha ku Mesopotania tangu jwangajaula kutama konikola ku Halani. 3 Annoongo akaalobholela Abulahamu, ‘Mmoke mu chilambo chinu, mwalekange bhandu bha chilagwa chinu, nnyaule mu chilambo chimbakunnangia!’ 4 Henela, Abulahamu akabhoka chilambo cha ku Kalidayo, akajaula kutama ku Halani. Atati bhabhe Abuluhamu pabhakajomoka, Annoongo akaabhoa kabhele ku Halani akahika kutama mu chilambo heche chintamanga nangocheni. 5 Annoongo jwangampekea hata kachoko chilambo heche chibhee chabhe, henela, akaalobholela kubhee apakwapekea chilambo heche chibhee chabhe na cha ubhelei gwabhe, na gono muda akibha bhanga mwana. 6 Annoongo akaalobholela henela Abulahamu, ‘Ubhelei gwinu gupakupelekwa kutama ku chilambo chigeni, na konokwe gupakutendwa kubhee akaabhanda na kutendelwa hilebhe hibou kwa yaaka mia ncheche. 7 Nambo nenga mbakuchihukumula chilambo hecho chichipakwaatendanga akaabhanda. Ngapena mbakwabhoanga mu chilambo hecho ili bhaikange kungotimila pambani pamile.’ 8 Penapo Annoongo akatenda liagano na Abulahamu kwa ndela ja kwahina bhana bhabhe akanalome kulangia hilolelo yabhe. Henela, Abulahimu akahina mwana jwabhe Aisaka lichobha lya nane kubhokela kubhelekwa kwabhe. Hela hela Aisaka, akahina Ayakobo. Na Ayakobo akatendelanga hela hela bhenibhala akanahota komi na bhabhele."

9 "Bhenibhala akanahota bhakabhonela bwihu anung'una bhabhe Ayusufu, bhakaahucha abhe abhanda ku Misili. Nambo Annoongo akibha pamo na jonojwe, 10 akaahokoa mu hibhini yoa. Annoongo akaapekea umanyo na malango nnongi ja Afalao, amwenye bha ku Misili, na henela Afalao akaabheka kubhee akolo bha chenichela chilambo na nyuumba ja chimwenye. 11 Ngapena, likajemeka likuluta mu chilambo choha cha ku Misili na ku Kanaani, na bhakalaganga muno. Akanahota bhitu bhangakombolanga kupatanga chakulya choachela. 12 Bahi, Ayakobo pabhakajoa ngani kubhee konokwe ku Misili kukibha na chakulya, guna kamo akaatumanga bhana bhabhe nga akanahota bhitu bhajaulange konokwe ku Misili. 13 Mu ulendo gwabhenji gwa bhele, Ayusufu bhakachilangia kwa akaanung'una bhabhe, na Afalao akaamanyanga akaalongo bhabhe Ayusufu. 14 Ayusufu akalagia kwa atati bhabhe na akaalongo bhabhe bhaikange ku Misili, na bhandu bhoa bhakibhanga chabini na nhano. 15 Henela, Ayakobo akajaula ku Misili kubhatamita, yakubhee jonojwe na akanahota bhitu bhangi bhakajomokanga. 16 Mimele jabhenji hikaletwanga mpaka ku Shekemu, ikachikwa mmakabuli gabhakaemela Aibulahimu kwa mbiya kubhoka kwa chilongelo cha bha Hamoli."

17 "Machobha pagakaika Annoongo apangane handa chibhakaalobholela Abulahimu, bhandu bhenibhala bhabhakibhanga ku Misili bhakapunda kujonjokeka kubhee bhajingi muno. 18 Pagakajomoka goa, ngapena amwenye jongi jwangaamanya Ayusufu akajemeka kutawala konokwe ku Misili. 19 Amwenye jonojwe akaachitendela hilebhe hibou akanahota bhitu, akaatendelanga ubohu akanahota bhitu kwa kwakulumikianga bhaabhekange panja bhana bhabhenji hilemba ili bhakomekwe. 20 Amusa akabhelekwa mu machobha genago, na akahalala muno. Akalelewa kaja kwa miehi jitatu, 21 na pabhakabhekwa kutali na kaja, mwali jwa Afalao akantola, akannela handa mwana jwabhe. 22 Amusa akajiganwa hikubho yoa ya malango ga bhandu bha Misili akibha amundu uwecho nkolongwa gwa kulongela na kutenda hilebhe hikolongwa."

23 "Pabhakibha na yaaka makomi ncheche akapala kujaula kwaalonga akaanung'una bhabhe bha Isilaeli. 24 Konokwe akaabhona anung'una bhabhe jumo abhikuntendelwa hubou na mundu jwa ku Misili, akajaula kwaokoa, na kuchibhujikiha, akaakoma bhenabho Mmisili. 25 Akaganikia kubhee Bhaisilaeli akaajabhe bhakaimanyitenge kubhee Annoongo akaatumite bhenabho kwakomboanga, nambo bhangaelewanga henela. 26 Malabhi jakwe, akaabhona Bhaisilaeli bhabhele bhabhikupotana, akalenga kwaatapulanga akalobhola, ‘Mwangota nga mwalongo, kwa niki, ntendakutendela yangalimmbone mwangota akaachinabhene?’ 27 Jonijola jwampotita ajabhe akaanokola Amusa nnyenje akalobhola, ‘Nga ganiki jwaammekite mwenga kubhee achilongola bhitu twenga? 28 Bholi, mpala kungoma handa chimunkomite jonijola mundu jwa ku Misili licho?’ 29 Pabhakagajoa genago, Amusa akabhutuka, akajaula kutama mu chilambo cha ku Midiani na konokwe akalombela na akapata bhana bhabhele akanalome."

30 "Yaaka makomi ncheche pajikapeta, antumichi bha kunani bha Hangwana akaabhokela Amusa mu chitekete chichijakita mooto konokwe kululemba kubhandikila na litombi lya Sinai. 31 Amusa akakangacha muno kubhona chikubho hecho hata bhakabhandikila muno ili akombole kulingulila, nambo akajoa Hangwana abhikulobhola, 32 ‘Nenga nga Annoongo bha akanahota bhinu, Annoongo bha Abulahamu, na Aisaka na Ayakobo!’ Amusa akalendemela kwa bhoga na jwangalenga kulola muno. 33 Hangwana akaalobholela. ‘Nhule champali yinu kwakubhee pambani pannyemite nga kwangu nenga. 34 Nigubhweni ubohu gubhatendelwanga bhandu bhangu konikola ku Misili. Ndekujoa nguto yabhenji, na nenga ndekuika kwaokoanga. Bahi nangocheni, mbakuntuma ku Misili.’"

35 "Hojo Amusa nga jwajola jwaakakanwa na bhandu ha ku Isilaeli pabhakaakonya, ‘Nga ganiki jwaammekite mwenga kubhee akolo na kututapulana twenga?’ Kwa kupetela jonijola ntumichi jwa kunani kwa Annoongo jwakaabhokela mu chitekete chichijakita mooto, Annoongo akaatuma Amusa bhabhe achilongola na akomboi. 36 Jonojwe jwaakatutandaa bhenibhala bhandu bhabhokange ku Misili kwa kutenda yakangachika hijingi mu chilambo cha ku Misili, mu bahali ja Shamu na palulemba, kwa yaaka makomi ncheche. 37 Hojo nga Amusa jwaakaalobholelanga bhandu bha Isilaeli, ‘Annoongo apakunhagulilanga alondoi handa nenga pakati ja akaalongo bhinu mwabhene.’ 38 Bhaisilaeli pabhakakondanika konikola kululemba, Amusa nga jwaakibha konokwe handa annyumbe pakati ja bhena akanahota bhitu na bhenibhala antumichi bha Annoongo jwaakalongela nabho ku litombi lya ku Sinai. Nga jwaakapekewa genigala malobhe ga umomi atupekee twenga."

39 "Nambo bhenabho nga haokolo bhitu bhabhakanitinge kwaajoanikia, bhakaanokola kutali, bhakalokolilanga kubhuja ku Misili. 40 Bhakaalobholela Aaluni, ‘Ntualakiange minnoongo jijipakututandaa nndela, kwakubhee ngagamanya gagapatite Amusa jwaatekututandaa kubhoka ku Misili!’ 41 Pena bhakachihalakianga chidimu cha ndama, bhakachibhekela na kuchihangalalia chenichela chilebhe chabhahalakie kwa mabhoko gabhenji bhene. 42 Nambo Annoongo akabhoka pakati jabhenji, akaalekanga bhakotimilange ndondwa ya kuliunde, handa chiijandikwe mu chitabu cha akalondoi bha Annoongo,

‘Mwangota bhandu bha Isilaeli!

Ngabha nenga bhantekumokeanga mbeeko na chadaka,

kwa yaaka makomi ncheche konikola kulikonja!

43 Mwangota nga mwankachipetulanga chilendo cha annoongo Amoloki,

na chidimu cha ndondwa ja annoongo bhinu Alefani.

Hidimu mwankahilakianga ligongo lya kukotimilanga.

Henela mbakampelekanga mateka kutali kupeta ku Babiloni!’"

44 Konikola kululemba akaaokolo bhitu bhakibhanga na chenichela chilendo cha kuhukumulila. Likaalakikwa handa Annoongo chibhakaalobholela Amusa aalakie chilebhe chene cha chenichela chibhakaalangiha. 45 Ngapena hakaokolo bhitu bhakapokelananga akachinabhenenji mpaka muda gwa Ayoshua, pabhakanyakulanga chenichela chilambo kubhoka ku chilambo yakubhe Annoongo bhakagabhenga nnoongi jabhenji. Chilendo chenecho chikatama penapo mpaka machobha ga Adaudi. 46 Adaudi akabhajilwa na Annoongo, akaajopa Annoongo alekelee ili anchengele nyuumba yakubhee jonojwe na bhandu bha ku Isilaeli bhoa bhakakombolinge kwaajopa Annoongo. 47 Nambo Aselemani nga jwaakachengela Annoongo nyuumba.

48 "Henela, Annoongo akolongwa ngatama mu nyuumba hiichengwite na bhandu, handa alondoi bhabhe chibhalobhola.

49 ‘Hangwana alobhola.

Kunani kwa Annoongo nga chitengu changu cha umwenye

na pachilambo nga chitengu changu cha kubhekela makongono.

Nga nyuumba niki jinkombola kunjengela,

na koji kumbakupomolela?

50 Hilebhe heye yoha nenga nga ndekuihalakia au ngabha?’"

51 "Mwangota nga bhandu bhamitau! Mitima na machikilo ginunji nga handa bhandu bhangaamanya Annoongo. Mwangota nga handa akanahota bhinu. Machobha goha ntendakunkananga Mboomo jwa Annoongo. 52 Akaalondohi bhoa bha Annoongo bhakatendelwanga hilebhe hibou na akanahota bhinunji. Bhakaakomanga bhenaangota yakubhee Annoongo akaatumanga bhatangache kuika kwabhe bhenibhala Akola Haki. Nangocheni, mwangota ntekung'aluka, 53 Mwangota nkapokelanga genijela Malagilo ga Annoongo gagakaika kwaachinu na akaatumichi bha kunani kwa Annoongo, nambo mwangagakondanga."

54 Bhenibhala akanahota bha Chebule pabhakajoanga genago, bhakatumbalanga muno, bhakaayagila mino kwa lilaka. 55 Nambo Asitefano akalongolelwa na Mboomo ja Annoongo, akalola kunani kwa Annoongo, akagubhona ng'anyimo gwa Annoongo na Ayesu atamite upande kwa kunnelo gwa Annoongo. 56 Akalobhola, "Nnolange! Ndendabhona kunani kwa Annoongo kutekujogolekwa na Jwana jwa Mundu atekujema upande gugukatopelwa gwa Annoongo."

57 Penapo, bhandu bhoha mu chenichela chikomiti cha Chebule, bhakapotanga nyenye na kuibha machikilo gabhenji kwa mabhoko gabhenji. Ngapena bhakaahombela pamo, 58 bhakaabhoha panja ja chilambo, bhakampota maganga. Bhenibhala bhabhakaalongelea unami Asitefano bhakagabhekkanga makoti gabhenji pahi ja ujemelei gwa nkakombo jumo lihina lyakwe Asaulo. 59 Bhakaendeleanga kumpotaanga Asitefano kwa maganga kongo abhi kujopa, "Hangwana Ayesu, mujipokele mboomo jangu!" 60 Akatindibhala majugwa, akaguta kwa lilobhe likolongwa, "Hangwana nkotokwahumulanga kwa kulemwa hoko." Pabhakajomola kulongela henela, akajomoka.
