1 Panyima pa lufu lua Yoshua,+ bena Isalele* bakebeja Yehowa ne:+ “Nnganyi wa kutudi wabanda wa kumpala bua kuluangana ne bena Kanâna?”
2 Yehowa wakandamuna ne: “Yuda neabande.+ Monayi! Ndi mfila* buloba mu tshianza tshiende.”
3 Ke Yuda kuambila muanabu Simeona ne: “Luaku tubande mu buloba budibu bampeshe*+ bua tuluangane ne bena Kanâna. Pashishe nenye nebe mu buloba budibu bakupeshe.” Nunku Simeona wakaya nende.
4 Pakabanda Yuda, Yehowa wakafila bena Kanâna ne bena Pelizi mu bianza biabu,+ bobu kutshimuna bantu binunu 10 mu Bezeke.
5 Bakasangana Adoni-bezeke mu Bezeke, bobu kumuluisha kuntu aku ne kutshimunabu bena Kanâna+ ne bena Pelizi.+
6 Pakanyema Adoni-bezeke, bakamulonda, kumukuatabu ne kumukosabu biala ne bana ba nkasa banene.
7 Ke Adoni-bezeke kuamba ne: “Kudi bakalenge 70 bavuabu bakose biala ne bana ba nkasa banene ne badi bangula biakudia muinshi mua mêsa anyi. Nunku Nzambi mmumfute anu mumvua muenze.” Pashishe bakaya nende ku Yelushalema,+ yeye kufuilaku.
8 Bantu ba mu Yuda bakaluisha kabidi Yelushalema,+ bobu kumukuata; bakabutula benamu ne muele wa mvita, kutuabu tshimenga kapia.
9 Pashishe bantu ba mu Yuda bakapueka bua kuluangana ne bena Kanâna bavua basombele mu buloba bua mikuna ne mu Negebe ne mu Shefela.+
10 Nunku Yuda wakaya kudi bena Kanâna bavua basombele mu Hebelone (kumpala dîna dia Hebelone divua Kîyata-âba), bobu kushipa Sheshai, Ahimana, ne Talemai.+
11 Bakumbuka kuntu aku, bobu kuya bua kuluisha bena mu Debî.+ (Kumpala dîna dia Debî divua Kîyata-sefe.)+
12 Nunku Kaleba+ wakamba ne: “Muntu waluisha Kîyata-sefe ne wamukuata, nemmupeshe muananyi wa bakaji Akasa bua ikale mukajende.”+
13 Nunku Oteniele+ muana wa Kenaza,+ muakunyi wa Kaleba, wakakuata Kîyata-sefe. Ke yeye kumupesha muanende wa bakaji Akasa bua ikale mukajende.
14 Pakavua Akasa uya kuende, wakasaka Oteniele bua kulomba tatuende Kaleba buloba. Pashishe yeye wakatuluka pa mpunda wende.* Kaleba wakamuebeja ne: “Udi ukeba tshinyi?”
15 Wakamuambila ne: “Mbeneshaku, bualu udi mumpeshe tshitupa tshia buloba ku sud;* mpeshaku kabidi Gulota-mayima.”* Nunku Kaleba wakamupesha Gulota wa ku mutu ne Gulota wa kuinshi.
16 Ndelanganyi ya muena Kene,+ tatuende muenu wa Mose,+ yakabanda ifumina mu tshimenga tshia mabue a ngaji+ pamue ne bena Yuda batangile mu tshipela tshia Yuda ku sud kua Alada.+ Bakayaku, bobu kusombela munkatshi mua bantu.+
17 Kadi Yuda wakaya ne muanabu Simeona, bobu kuluisha bena Kanâna bavua basombele mu Sefata, bobu kumubutula.+ Nunku bakinyika tshimenga atshi ne: Hôma.*+
18 Pashishe Yuda wakakuata Gaza+ ne buloba buende, Ashekelona+ ne buloba buende, ne Ekelona+ ne buloba buende.
19 Yehowa uvua ne Yuda, ne bakangata buloba bua mikuna, kadi kabakakokesha bua kuipata bantu bavua basombele mu mpata* to, bualu bavua ne matempu a mvita mikale ne miele mikobame.*+
20 Bakapesha Kaleba Hebelone, anu muvua Mose mulaye,+ yeye kuipatamu bana basatu ba Anaka.+
21 Kadi bena Benyamina kabavua bipate bena Yebuse bavua basombele mu Yelushalema to, nunku bena Yebuse mbatungunuke ne kusomba ne bena Benyamina mu Yelushalema too ne lelu.+
22 Pine apu ba mu nzubu wa Jozefe+ bakabanda bua kuluisha Betele, ne Yehowa uvua nabu.+
23 Ba mu nzubu wa Jozefe bavua batentekela Betele (mpindieu dîna dia tshimenga atshi kumpala divua Luza),+
24 ne batentekedi kumonabu muntu upatuka mu tshimenga. Ke bobu kumuambila ne: “Tuleja koku njila wa kubuela mu tshimenga, ne netukuenzele bimpe.”*
25 Nunku muntu au wakabaleja njila wa kubuela mu tshimenga, bobu kubutula bena mu tshimenga ne muele wa mvita, kadi bakalekela muntu au ne bantu bonso ba mu dîku diende baya.+
26 Muntu au wakaya mu buloba bua bena Hiti, kuasaye tshimenga, kutshinyikaye ne: Luza, ne ke dîna diatshi too ne lelu.

28 Pakapeta Isalele bukole bua bungi, bakatuadija kuenzeja bena Kanâna midimu mikole ku bukole,+ kadi kabavua babipate bonso to.+
29 Nansha Efelayima kavua muipate bena Kanâna bavua basombele mu Gezê to. Bena Kanâna bakatungunuka ne kusombela munkatshi muabu mu Gezê.+

32 Nunku bena Ashê bakatungunuka ne kusombela munkatshi mua bena Kanâna bavua mu buloba abu, bualu kabavua babipate to.
33 Nafatale kavua muipate bantu ba mu Bete-shemeshe ne bantu ba mu Bete-anata to,+ kadi bakatungunuka ne kusombela munkatshi mua bena Kanâna bavua mu buloba abu.+ Bakatuadija kuenzeja bantu ba mu Bete-shemeshe ne mu Bete-anata midimu mikole ku bukole.
34 Bena Amole bakatshintshimika bena Dana mu buloba bua mikuna, bualu kabavua babalekele bapueka mu mpata* to.+
