Dimatekenu 37:1-36
37 Jakobo wasuluka mukutunga mu ixi ya Kanana, mwatungile tat’ê kala musonyi.
2 Yú we o musoso wa mwenyu wa Jakobo.
Kyoso o munzangala Zuze kyexile ni dikwinyi ni sambwadi dya mivu, wexile mulanga o jimbudi kumoxi ni twana twa Bila ni twana twa Nzidipa, ahatu a tat’ê. Zuze weza ni njimbu yayibha yalungu ni ene, kwa tat’ê.
3 Izalayele wazolele dingi Zuze, o twana twamukwa ndenge, mukonda wa muvwala kyá mu ukukilu wê. Kyenyiki, watumu ku mutungila divunga dyakatunda.*
4 Kyoso jiphange jê kyamono kwila, tat’ê wamuzolele dingi ene oso ndenge, amateka ku muzemba, kexile mutena kuzwela-nê ni kutululuka.
5 Mukubhita thembu, Zuze waloto nzoji yu wa itangela ku jiphange jê. Kiki kya abhangesa ku muzemba dingi kyavulu.
6 Wa atangela, wixi: “Ngamidyondo, ivwenu o nzoji i ngaloto.
7 Twakexile mukuta ita mukaxi ka mukáwu. O kita kyami kya bhetuka anga kimana, o ita yenu anga ikondoloka o kita kyami, i yafukamena o kita kyami.”
8 O jiphange jê amwambela, exi: “O kwila wanda dibhanga usobha ni ukala mututumina?” Kiki kima kyengi dingi kya abhangesa ku muzemba, mukonda dya jinzoji ni ima ya atangela.
9 Mukubhita o ima yiyi, mwene waloto dingi nzoji yengi, yu wa itangela o jiphange jê, wixi: “Ngaloto dingi nzoji yengi. Muveji yiyi, o dikumbi ni mbeji ni dikwinyi ni umoxi dya jithéthembwa a ngifukamena.”
10 Mukyenyiki watangela o nzoji yiyi kwa tat’ê ni ku jiphange jê. Tat’ê anga umubazela, wixi: “O nzoji iwaloto yiyi ilombolola ihi? O kwila mu kidi, eme, mam’enu ni jiphange jé, ku hádya twanda kufukamena mwene?”
11 O jiphange jê a mukwatela lwimbi, maji tat’ê izwelu yiyi wa ibhake ku muxima wê.
12 O jiphange jê anga ambata o jimbudi ja tat’ê phala jidye bhwa zukama ni Xikeme.
13 Mukusuluka, Izalayele wambela Zuze, wixi: “O jiphange jê ayi mulanga o ibhaku bhu mbandu ya Xikeme. Ndé watale o jiphange jê.” Mwene wixi: “Ngitena kuya-ku.”
14 Wa mutangela we wixi: “Ngakudyondo, ndé watale se jiphange jê ala kyambote. Tala we kyebhi kyala o ibhaku ni u ngibhekele njimbu.” Kyenyiki, wa mutumikisa mu honga ya Hebolone, mwene anga usuluka kate ku Xikeme.
15 Ku pholo dya kwenda, sayi diyala dyamusange wa munyunga-nyunga mu mukáwu. O diyala wa mwibhwidisa: “Ihi i wa musota?”
16 Mwene watambwijila: “Ngamusota o jiphange jami! Ngakudyondo, ngitangele kwebhi kwa mukwinga o ibhaku?”
17 O diyala dya tambwijila: “Ene atundu bhenyabha, ngevu kyoso kyazwela, ‘tuye ku Dotane.’” Kyenyiki, Zuze wakayela o jiphange jê, anga wa asanga ku Dotane.
18 Ene a mumono dikanga. Ande dya Zuze kubhixila, amateka kufunya ndunge phala ku mujibha.
19 Bhenyobho adyambela mudyâ: “Talenu! Kajinzoji yu wizó!
20 Kiki kyene o kithangana! Tumujibhe, tusole kixima phala kumutakula-mu. Twamba kwila sayi kyama kya muxitu kya mudi, ni tumone se ku jinzoji jê kwanda tunda ihi.”
21 Kyoso Lubene kyevu o izwelu yiyi, wasoto kumubhulula bhu maku mâ. Mwene wambe: “Kitumujibhe.”
22 Lubene wa ambela, wixi: “Kimuzunzumune manyinga. Mutakulyenu mu kixima kiki, mu mukáwu. Maji ki mu mubhange kima kyayibha.” Mwene wexile musota ndunge phala ku mubhulula bhu maku mâ, n’a mubheke kwa tat’ê.
23 Kyenyiki, kyoso Zuze kyabhixila, o jiphange jê amuzula o divunga, o divunga dya katunda dya zwatele,
24 anga amukwata, amutakula mu kixima. Mu kithangana kyenyokyo, o kixima kya kukutile, kimwexile menya.
25 Mukusuluka axikama phala kudya. Kyoso kya bhetula o mesu, amono kibuka kya akwa kuta wenji kya akwa Ijimayele, akexile mutunda ku Ngiliyade. O jikamelu jâ jexile mukwambata wasu wa ládanu, bálsamu ni ibalabala ya muxi wa wasu. Ene exile mu kulumuka ku Ijitu.
26 Judá wambela o jiphange jê, wixi: “Futu yahi i twanda tambula se tujibha phang’yetu, anga tusweka o manyinga mê?
27 Tumusumbise kwa akwa Ijimayele, kitumubhange kima kyayibha, mukonda mwene phang’yetu, xitu yetu.” Kyenyiki, ene evu yazwela phang’yâ.
28 Kyoso kibuka kya akwa kuta wenji kya akwa Ijimayele* kyexile mubhita, o jiphange ja Zuze amusungu mu kixima, ya amusumbisa mu makwinyi ayadi a mabele a phalata. O mayala yá ambata Zuze ku Ijitu.
29 Mukubhita ithangana, kyoso Lubene kyavutuka yu watale mu kixima anga umona kwila Zuze kakexile-mu, watandula o izwatu yê.
30 Kyoso mwene kya vutuka ku jiphange jê, wadikola: “O munzangala wajimbidila! Ihi i nganda bhanga?”
31 Akwata-phe o divunga dya Zuze, ajibha kisutu kya hombo, anga adimbula o divunga mu manyinga.
32 Mukusuluka, atumikisa o divunga dya katunda kwa tata yâ ni njimbu yiyi: “Twasange o divunga didi. Twakudyondo, tonginina-dyu, umone se dyene o divunga dya mon’ê mba kana.”
33 Mwene waditonginina yu wadikola, wixi: “Dyéne mwene o divunga dya mon’ami! Nange sayi kyama kya muxitu kya mudi! Sé phata, Zuze wafu!”
34 Kyenyiki Jakobo watandula o izwatu yê, wadikutu izwatu ya jisaku* mu mbunda,* anga udila mon’ê mu izuwa yavulu.
35 O twana twê twoso twa mala ni twa ahatu, asoto ku mukonda o malamba, maji mwene kexile mu xikina ku mukonda o malamba. Wexile muzwela: “Nganda tuluka mu Mbila* ni kudila mon’ami!” Mwene wasuluka ni kudila mon’ê.
36 Ku Ijitu, akwa Ijimayele* asumbisa Zuze kwa Potifale, kabhitangu ukalakala mu inzo ya Falawó, mutwameni wa alangidi.
