2 “Ngamidyondo ebhwidisenu o atwameni* oso akwa Xikeme: ‘Ihi yabeta-kota phala enu? Ku mitumina ku makwinyi asambwadi a ana a Jelubahale, inga ku muthu umoxi ngo? Lembalalenu kwila, etu twatokala ku mwiji umoxi.’”*
3 Kyenyiki, o jiphange ja man’yâ abhixidisa o izwelu yê ku atwameni oso a Xikeme. O mixima yâ yalungile kwa Abimeleke kuma ambe: “Mwene phangyetu.”
4 Kyenyiki, amubhana makwinyi asambwadi a mabele a phalata ya tembulu* ya Bahale-Belite. Abimeleke anga ufuta nayu mayala abhumu, adikake, phala kwenda-nê.
5 Mukusuluka, wayi kubhata dya tat’ê, ku Ofila, wajibha o jiphange jê ku ditadi, o twana twa Jelubahale, kifwa makwinyi asambwadi a mayala, o wasubhuka-ku ngo ni mwenyu Jotamu, o kasule ka Jelubahale mukonda wadiswekele.
6 O atwameni a Xikeme ni akwa Milo, adyongeka anga Abimeleke amubhanga sobha bhwa zukama ni muxi wadikota bhwa zukamene ni kamulundu ka Xikeme.
7 Kyoso kyatangela o maka ya kwa Jotamu, mu kithangana kyenyokyo mwene wayi ku mulundu wa Ngedizine yu wemana kwenyoko. Anga udikola ni dizwi dyaswina, wixi: “Ngivwenu enu mu atwameni a Xikeme, o Nzambi wanda mivwa.
8 “Sayi kizuwa o mixi yayi musola sobha phala ene. Kyenyiki ambela o muxi wa mudiva exi: ‘Kala u sobha yetu.’
9 O muxi wa mudiva wambe, wixi: ‘O kwila ngeji kweha kubhana máji abhana kijingu kwa Nzambi ni ku athu phala kutumina* o mixi yamukwa?’
10 Kyenyiki, o mixi yambela o muxi wa mufiku, ixi: ‘Zá ukale sobha yetu.’
11 O muxi wa mufiku wa ambela, wixi: ‘O kwila ngeji kweha kwima o ibundu yami yambote, yatowala, phala kutumina* o mixi yamukwa?’
12 Mukusuluka, o mixi yambela o muxi wa muvidi, ixi: ‘Zá ukale sobha yetu.’
13 O muxi wa muvidi wa ambela, wixi: ‘O kwila ngeji kweha kwima o vinyu isangulukisa Nzambi ni athu phala kutumina* o mixi yamukwa?’
14 Mukusuka-ku, o mixi yambela o muxi wa minya, ixi: ‘Zá ukale sobha yetu.’
15 Kyenyiki, o muxi wa minya wambela o mixi yoso, wixi: ‘Se mwamesena mwene ku ngi unda kala ngi sobha yenu, zenu mudisweke bhoxi dya kilembeketa kyami. Maji-phe se kana, kutunde tubhya ku muxi wa minya anga tujokotese o sedulu ya Libanu.’
16 Kyenyiki-phe, o kwila mwalondekesa unjimu ni kidi, mukusola Abimeleke kala sobha? O kwila mwabhange mwene mbote kwa Jelubahale ni kwa yo atokala kubhata dyê? O kwila mwa mutalatala kala kyafwamene?
17 Kyoso tat’etu kyabhânge bhu kididi kyenu, mwene wate o mwenyu wê mu kilwezu phala kumibhulula bhu maku a akwa Midiyana.
18 Maji lelu, enu mwalungulukila o dibhata dya tat’etu, enu mwajibha makwinyi a sambwadi atwana twê ku ditadi. Mukusuluka, mwasolo Abimeleke mona wa mubhika wa tat’etu kala sobha ya atwameni a Xikeme mukonda phang’enu.
19 Se lelu mukusola Abimeleke kala sobha mwamubhanga mbote kwa Jelubahale ni kwa yo atokala ku dibhata dyê, sangulukenu ni Abimeleke, mwene we asanguluke ni enu.
20 Maji se kana, kutunde tubhya kwa Abimeleke tujokotese o atwameni a Xikeme ni a Bete-Milo. Kutunde tubhya ku atwameni a Xikeme ni a Bete-Milo tujokotese Abimeleke.”
21 Kyenyiki, Jotamu walengela ku Behele yu watungu kwenyoko mukonda dya phang’yê Abimeleke.
22 Abimeleke watumina* mu Izalayele mu mivu itatu.
23 Nzambi wabhangesa kwila bhukala unguma* bhukaxi ka Abimeleke ni atwameni a Xikeme, ene anga alungulukila Abimeleke.
24 Kiki kyabhiti phala kuvutula phonzo ku usweya wabhange ku makwinyi asambwadi a ana a Jelubahale, phala o kikuma kya manyinga kibwe ku thandu a phang’yê Abimeleke ni ku thandu a atwameni a Xikeme mu ku kwatekesa Abimeleke kujibha o jiphange jê.
25 Kyenyiki, o atwameni a Xikeme atula mayala ku milundu phala ku mubatamena. Ene akexile munyana o athu oso akexile mubhita mu ikoka. Mukubhita thembu atangela o ima yiyi kwa Abimeleke.
26 Kyenyiki, Ngahale mon’a Hebede ni jiphange jê ayi ku Xikeme, o atwameni a Xikeme anga amudyelela.
27 Ene ayi ku mabhya, a kanze jiuva ya ajikame, anga abhanga fesa. Mukusuluka, abokona monzo ya nzambi yâ, adi, anu, ya abhubhidila Abimeleke.
28 Ngahale mon’a Hebede wambe: “Nanyi mwene Xikeme ni Abimeleke phala tu musidivile? Mwene ki mon’a Jelubahale, o Zebule ki mwéne o mukwatekexi wê? Sidivilenu o mayala a Hamolo tata ya Xikeme. Mukonda dyahi mweji sidivila Abimeleke?
29 Tamanu se o mundu wexile ku mbandu yami, eme ngeji katula Abimeleke ku usobha. Mukusuluka, mwene wambela Abimeleke, wixi: “Bandekesa masoladi mé, wize mubhânga n’eme.”
30 Kyoso Zebule o kilamba kya mbanza, kyevu o izwelu ya Ngahale mon’a Hebede, njinda yamukwata.
31 Kyenyiki, watumikisa akunji kwa Abimeleke mu kaswekele phala ku mutangela: “Ngahale mon’a Hebede ni jiphange jê ala ku Xikeme, ya a mufunyisa o athu mu mbanza phala ku kulungulukila.
32 Mu kiki-phe, mu usuku zá ni mayala mê phala kwabatamena mu mukawu.
33 Kyoso ki kwandakya, ubalumuka selu, ubwike o mbanza. Kyoso Ngahale kyanda kwiza mubhânga n’eye, bhanga yoso phala ku mutolola.*
34 Kyenyiki, Abimeleke ni mayala exile kumoxi ni mwene abalumuka mu usuku, ya abatamena akwa Xikeme mu ibuka iwana.
35 Kyoso Ngahale mon’a Hebede kyatundu, ayi kate bhwa zukama o dibhitu dya mbanza, Abimeleke ni mayala mê atundu bhwa batamene.
36 Kyoso Ngahale kyamono o mundu, wambela Zebule, wixi: “Tala, ku milundu kwa mutuluka athu.” Zebule wamwambela, wixi: “Eye wamufika kwila o kilembeketa kya milundu athu.”
37 Mukusuluka, Ngahale wambe: “Tala! Kwala athu amutuluka kutala dya mulundu. O kibuka kyamukwa kya mukwijila mu njila ya muxi wadikota wa Meyonenime.”
38 Zebule wambe: “O dikanu dyakubhu. K’eye, wambe: ‘Abimeleke nanyi mwene phala tu musidivile?’ Yú ki wene o mundu u waxongwena? Kindala ndé ubhânge nawu”
39 Kyenyiki, Ngahale utunda mu kutwamenena o atwameni a Xikeme anga ubhânga ni Abimeleke.
40 Abimeleke wakaye Ngahale, mwene anga ulenga. Avulu a ajibha mu njila kate bhu mwelu wa mbanza.
41 Abimeleke wasuluka mu kutunga ku Aluma, Zebule wakaye ku Xikeme, Ngahale ni jiphange jê.
42 Mu kizuwa kyakayela, o mundu wayi kate ku mukawu. Abimeleke anga amutangela o maka ya.
43 Kyenyiki, mwene wawanuna o mundu mu ibuka itatu, yu wa abatamena mu mukawu. Kyoso kyamono o mundu kutunda mu mbanza, mwene wayi mubhânga nawu, yu wa ajibha.
44 Abimeleke ni ibuka yexile kumoxi ni mwene, ayi ya adisokejeka, ya emana bhu dibhitu dya mbanza, kyoso o ibuka iyadi yamukwa kiyayi mubhânga ni yó exile mu mukawu, ya a ajibha.
45 Abimeleke wabhânge ni athu a mbanza mu kizuwa kyoso kya muvimba, yu wa atolola. Mwene wajibha o athu oso exile-mu. Mwene wabulu o mbanza, yu wamwange môngwa mu mbanza.
46 Kyoso o atwameni a mbanza ya Xikeme kyeza mu kwijiya o ima yiyi, mu kithangana kyenyokyo ayi mudisweka mu tembulu* ya Ele-Belite.
47 Kyoso kyatangela kwa Abimeleke kwila o atwameni oso a Xikeme ayi mudisweka kwenyoko,
48 Abimeleke ni mayala oso akexile-ne kumoxi abande ku mulundu wa Zalamone. Abimeleke wakwata dikuwa, wabatula luthangu lwa muxi, yu walutula bhu kisuxi kyê, anga wambela o mayala mê, wixi: “Lengulukenu! Bhangenu kala kingabhange eme!”
49 O mayala oso abatula jithangu ya akayela we Abimeleke. Kyenyiki, akondoloka o kididi ni jithangu ya akite mu túbhya. kyenyiki enyoso exile mu sabhalalu ku Xikeme afu, kwafu midi ya athu, mayala ni ahatu.
50 Mukusuluka, Abimeleke wayi kate ku Tabeze ukala kwenyoko phala kubhânga ni akwa Tabeze anga wa atolola.
51 Kwexile sabhalalu yadikota mukaxi ka mbanza, o mayala oso ni ahatu ni atwameni a mbanza, alengela mwenyomo. Adijikila mwenyomo anga abanda kate bhu thala dya sabhalalu.
52 Abimeleke wayi kate ku sabhalalu yu wa ibwika ni tubhya.
53 Kyenyiki, sayi muhatu watakula ditadi dya kuhuhila nadyu ku mútwe wa Abimeleke, o mútwe wabudika, o wongo watundu.
54 Mwene wexana o mukwatekexi wakexile mukwambata o mata mê, yu wa mwambela: “Sunga o xibhata yé u ngijibhe, phala kazwele kwila o muhatu mwene wa mujibha.’” Kyenyiki o mukwatekexi u muxuka ni xibhata mwene anga ufwa.
55 Kyoso o mayala akwa Izalayele kyamono kwila Abimeleke wafu, enyoso avutuka ku mabhata mâ.
56 Nzambi wavutwila kwa Abimeleke o kuyibha kwoso kwa bhangele kwa tat’ê, mukujibha o makwinyi asambwadi a jiphange jê.
57 Nzambi wabhangesa kwila o kuyibha kwoso kwa mayala akwa Xikeme, kwize ku thandu dyâ. Mukyenyiki, o ima yabhiti kala kya bhubhidila Jotamu mon’a Jelubahale.
