9 Yamalheke, ashinna Musa aheerelha attu wiira, "Vaari ihu khaninaya uthama umwaakoni Usinai, mii kahouhimeriani wiira, ‘Ntheko wo uholhelhani mwaatti, mulhupalhe chinene, akinooria mii vekha aka. 10 Apwiiya Nlhuku inyu, ahoupangani ukhalha attu enchi, lhelho va nri attu enchi thoko ittotwa cho wiirimu. 11 Apwiiya Nlhuku, Nlhuku a manyaapwiiya inyu, athepeke etu uwunchererani mikwaha elufu uthepa chiri inyu vano va, ni uvahani ibarakha thoko chilhenhe aya! 12 Nansho mii vekha aka kinohalha wooria chani ukusha ntheko muulhupalhe wo waamulha indewo chinyu uyo? 13 Mwaathanlheke attu arii ni irusho, o umanya, aneewelhelhiya, o ukhuma kila nikosho, wiira khaathanlhe akhalhache ahoolhelhi inyu.’ 14 Ni inyu mwaatti mwahorumelhelha, nkamwaakakhulha wo wiira, nhohimia ittu yoombone upanga. 15 Paahi etu, kahaakusha ahoolhelhi ari ni irusho, o umanya, aneewelhelhiya ni attu, nkakaapanga ukhalha ahoolhelhi inyu. Kaheesha akina ukhalha o weemelhelha miphingo cha manyaasikari o miphingo cha attu elufu imokaimoka, cha attu imia imokaimoka, cha attu makhumi nthanunthanu, ni cha attu khumikhumi.

39 "Yamalheke, Apwiiya Nlhuku ahoniirelha hii onkaye va wiira, ‘Yayo achishaana inyu nnoovacha inyu wiira anokoovarakachiya ni amalhaponi inyu ayo, eiyo, yayo ashinkani ayo ahinochuwelha ittu yoombone ama ittu yo uhilhoka ayo, yayo phi nohalha ukelha wowo, ni mii kinowaavaha yayo ilhapo iyo ikhalhe yawaya. 40 Nansho mwaattiva, nrukunuweke nhokolhieke uthakoni, nlhukameke Ibahari yo Ushamu.’

41 "Ni inyu mwaatti nkamwaakakhulha wo wiira, ‘Hii nihaawonya Apwiiya Nlhuku, nansho vano ninoorwaa ni waatakana thoko Apwiiya Nlhuku, Nlhuku ihu, chinilhehenre aya.’ Paahi kila mmoka inyu eechesheke tayari waatakana ikhoto, mwaanyiheraka wiira khayaarika mwaatti ukelhelha yeyo ilhapo yo umiakoni iyo. 42 Ni Apwiiya Nlhuku ahokiirelha wiira, ‘Mwaahimerie attu ayo ahirwee uwaatakanani ikhoto, ukhalhawaya akiri vamoka ni ayo.
