38 Ha matangwa waze, Yunda yahichika mandumbu jenyi yatunga mbalaka yenyi hakamwihi ni umwe lunga Ka-Ndulame avuluka ngwo, Hira.
2 Koko, Yunda yanyingika umwe mwana-pwo wa umwe Ka-Kanana avuluka ngwo, Shua. Chocho, Yunda yamumbata mba yalimona nenyi.
3 Iye yapwa kafumba, mba kulutwe, yasema mwana wa lunga yamuluka jina ngwenyi, Ere.
4 Iye yapwa nawa kafumba yasema mwana wa lunga, yamuluka jina ngwenyi, Onane.
5 Yasema nawa mwana wa lunga yamuluka jina ngwenyi, Shela. Ayo* te ku Kezepi ali muze pwo lienyi asemene.
6 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, Yunda yambachila mwanenyi mutangu Ere pwo, pwo wacho jina lienyi te Tama.
7 Alioze, Ere mwana mutangu wa Yunda te keshi kuvwisa Yehova kuwaha, kashika Yehova yamushiha.
8 Chocho, Yunda yalweza Onane ngwenyi: “Limone ni pwo lia yayenu, linga nenyi ulo wa unyali hanga usemene yayenu ana.”
9 Alioze, Onane te kananyingika ngwenyi, ana kechi kupwa a iye. Kashika, muze apwile ni kulimona ni pwo lia yayo kapwile ni kupihisa ndele* ha kumwangina ndele yacho hashi hanga achine kusemena yayo ana.
10 Yuma yize Onane apwile ni kulinga yapwile yipi kumeso ja Yehova, chocho neye yamushiha.
11 Yunda yamba kuli tembwa-mwanenyi Tama ngwenyi: “Twama ku zuwo lia tatenu ngwe tuliwa ndo muze mwanami Shela makola.” Mumu Yunda wanyongene ngwenyi: ‘Shela neye mahasa kufwa ngwe chize afwile ayayo.’ Chocho, Tama yaya ni kutwama ku zuwo lia tato.
12 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, pwo lia Yunda mwana wa Shua yafwa. Muze nambi* te hiyapalika, Yunda yaya ku Timna hamuwika ni sepa lienyi Hira Ka-Ndulame, hanga aliwane ni akwa-kuteula mapanga jenyi.
13 Tama yevwa ngwo: “Tato-weno kanakanduka ku Timna hanga ateule mapanga jenyi.”
14 Iye yazala mazalo eka, yazula mazalo a utuliwa, yalifuka chitambala ku meso, yalifuka hina, mba yatwama ku chikolo cha Ename chize chatwama mu tapalo lia Timna. Mumu kamwene ngwenyi Shela te hakola, alioze kamuheleye hanga alimbate nenyi.
15 Muze Yunda amumwene yanyonga ngwenyi kali umwe chikoi mumu kalifukile ku meso.
16 Kashika, yaya kuli iye ku sesa lia tapalo yamba ngwenyi: “Tayiza ngupombe ni yena,” mumu te kanyingikine ngwenyi kali tembwa-mwanenyi. Alioze, iye yamuhula ngwenyi: “Yika mungwaha mba upombe ni yami?”
17 Yunda yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Mungukakutumina pembe umuwika wa mu chendo chami.” Alioze, iye yamuhula ngwenyi: “Shina mungwaha chijikilo ndo muze mukamutuma nyi?”
18 Yunda yamba ngwenyi: “Chijikilo chika natamba kukwaha?” Iye yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Kazeya ke wa chijikilo, muya we ni lukanda we yoze uli mu kwoko lie.” Chocho, iye yamwaha yuma yacho yalimona nenyi mba yapwa kafumba.
19 Mba iye yakatuka yaya kwenyi, yazula hina yazala mazalo a utuliwa.
20 Yunda yatuma pembe kupalikila muli sepa lienyi Ka-Ndulame, hanga akatambule yuma yize ahanyine kuli pwo ngwe chijikilo, alioze kamuwanyine.
21 Iye yahula kuli atu a ku chihela chize ngwenyi: “Kulihi ali chikoi wa mu tembele yoze te wakutwama ku sesa lia tapalo ku Ename?” Alioze, o yamukumbulula ngwo: “Ku chihela chino kanda kupwa kama chikoi wa mu tembele.”
22 Chocho, iye yahiluka kuli Yunda yamba ngwenyi: “Chamuwanyine. Chikwo nawa, atu a ku chihela chize kamba ngwo: ‘Ku chihela chino kanda kuchipwa kama chikoi wa mu tembele.’”
23 Alioze, Yunda yamba ngwenyi: “Atwame ni yuma yacho hanga achine kutulelesa. Ami natumanga pembe, alioze yena kuwamuwanyine.”
24 Kashika, ha kupalika cha tukweji atatu, Yunda yevwa ngwo: “Tembwa-mwane Tama halipwisa chikoi, mba hapwa kafumba mu ukoi wenyi.” Chocho, Yunda yamba ngwenyi: “Mutuhwisenu haze amwoche.”
25 Muze te anamutuhwisa haze, yatuma kulweza tato-weno ngwenyi: “Ufumba nguli nawo wa mwenya-yikwata yino.” Mba yamba nawa ngwenyi: “Lisesa, tala kanawa kazeya yono wa chijikilo, muya ni lukanda hanga umone nyi mwenyayo iya.”
26 Yunda yayitala kanawa yamba ngwenyi: “Iye kali mukwa-ululi kuhiana yami mumu chamuhanyine kuli mwanami Shela.” Chize haze, iye kakapombele nenyi nawa.
27 Muze mashimbu a kusema ahetele, mu jimo lienyi mwapwile ana-apasa.
28 Muze te anaseme, mwana umwe yatuhwisa kwoko haze. Hazehene, chifunguji yanda wanda uchila yaukasa ku kwoko lia mwana, yamba ngwenyi: “Yono mwe walianga kusemuka.”
29 Alioze, muze mwana ahilwishile kwoko lienyi mu jimo, ndumbwenyi yalianga kusemuka, mba chifunguji yamba ngwenyi: “Waliazulwila jila yena mwene!” Kashika amulukile jina ngwo, Pereze.*
30 Mba yasemuka ndumbwenyi yoze te uli ni wanda uchila ku kwoko, kashika yamuluka jina ngwo, Zera.
