11 Mpindieu Yefeta+ muena Gilada uvua tshilobo tshia mvita; uvua muana wa mukaji wa ndumba, ne Gilada uvua tatuende wa Yefeta.
2 Kadi mukaji wa Gilada uvua mumulelele pende bana ba balume. Pakakola bana ba mukajende, bakipata Yefeta, kumuambilabu ne: “Kuakupeta bumpianyi mu nzubu wa tatuetu to, bualu udi muana wa mukaji mukuabu.”
3 Nunku Yefeta wakanyema bana babu, kusombelaye mu buloba bua Tobo. Bantu bavua kabayi ne tshia kuenza bakadisanga kudi Yefeta, bobu kumulonda.
4 Pakapita matuku, bena Amona bakaluisha Isalele.+
5 Pavua bena Amona baluishe Isalele, diakamue bakulu ba mu Gilada bakaya kuangata Yefeta mu buloba bua Tobo.
6 Bakambila Yefeta ne: “Luaku wikale mfumu wa tshiluilu tshietu, bua tuluangane ne bena Amona.”
7 Kadi Yefeta wakambila bakulu ba mu Gilada ne: “Ki nnuenu bavua bankine bikole, bangipate mu nzubu wa tatuanyi anyi?+ Bua tshinyi nudi balue kundi mpindieu panudi mu dikenga?”
8 Ke bakulu ba mu Gilada kuambila Yefeta ne: “Ke bualu kayi tudi bapingane mpindieu kuudi. Wewe muye netu ne muluangane ne bena Amona, neulue mulombodi wetu ku mutu kua bantu bonso ba mu Gilada.”+
9 Nunku Yefeta wakambila bakulu ba mu Gilada ne: “Nuenu bampingaje bua kuluangana ne bena Amona, ne Yehowa yeye mubantshimuine, dîba adi nendue mulombodi wenu bushuwa!”
10 Bakulu ba mu Gilada bakambila Yefeta ne: “Yehowa ikale ntemu* pankatshi petu nebe tuetu katuyi benze muudi muambe.”
11 Nunku Yefeta wakaya ne bakulu ba mu Gilada, ne bantu bakamuteka mulombodi ne mfumu wa tshiluilu. Pashishe Yefeta wakambulula mêyi ende onso kumpala kua Yehowa ku Misepa.+
12 Pashishe Yefeta wakatuma bantu ne mukenji kudi mukalenge wa bena Amona,+ wamba ne: “Tshindi mukuenze ntshinyi* bua wewe kulua kuluisha buloba buanyi?”
13 Nunku mukalenge wa bena Amona wakambila bantu bavua Yefeta mutume ne mukenji ne: “Mbualu bena Isalele bavua bangate buloba buanyi pavuabu bapatuke mu Ejipitu,+ kumbukila ku Ânona+ kuya ku Yaboka too ne ku Yadene.+ Mpindieu bupingaja mu ditalala.”
14 Kadi Yefeta wakapingaja bantu ne mukenji kudi mukalenge wa bena Amona
15 bua kumuambila ne:
“Yefeta udi wamba nunku: ‘Bena Isalele kabavua bangate buloba bua bena Moaba+ ne buloba bua bena Amona+ to,
16 bualu pavua bena Isalele bapatuke mu Ejipitu, bakendela mu tshipela too ne ku Mbuu Mukunze,+ kufikabu ku Kadeshe.+
17 Dîba adi bena Isalele bakatumina mukalenge wa Edome bantu ne mukenji,+ bamba ne: “Tulekelaku tupitshile mu buloba buebe,” kadi mukalenge wa Edome kakateleja to. Bakatumina kabidi mukalenge wa Moaba+ mukenji, kadi kakitaba to. Nunku bena Isalele bakatungunuka ne kusombela mu Kadeshe.+
18 Pavuabu bendela mu tshipela, bakapitshila kumpenga kua buloba bua Edome+ ne buloba bua Moaba. Bakayila ku est kua buloba bua Moaba,+ kutudilabu mu tshitupa tshia buloba tshia Ânona; kabavua babuele munda mua mikalu ya Moaba+ to, bualu Ânona uvua mukalu wa Moaba.
19 “‘Pashishe bena Isalele bakatuma bantu ne mukenji kudi Sihona mukalenge wa bena Amole, mukalenge wa Heshebona, ne bena Isalele bakamuambila ne: “Tulekelaku tupitshile mu buloba buebe bua tuetu kufika mu buloba buetu tuetu.”+
20 Kadi Sihona kavua mueyemene bena Isalele bua bapitshile mu buloba buende to, nunku Sihona wakasangisha bantu bende bonso, kuasabu tshitudilu ku Yahasa, kuluishabu Isalele.+
21 Ke Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele kufilaye Sihona ne bantu bende bonso mu tshianza tshia Isalele, nunku bakabatshimuna ne Isalele kuangataye buloba buonso bua bena Amole, bantu bavua basombele mu buloba abu.+
22 Nunku bakangata buloba buonso bua bena Amole kumbukila ku Ânona too ne ku Yaboka ne kumbukila ku tshipela too ne ku Yadene.+
23 “‘Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele ke uvua muipate bena Amole kumpala kua tshisamba tshiende tshia Isalele,+ kadi mpindieu wewe udi musue kubipata anyi?
24 Wewe kuena ne tshionso tshidi nzambi webe Kemoshe+ ukupesha bua tshikale tshiebe anyi? Nunku muntu yonso udi Yehowa Nzambi wetu muipate kumpala kuetu, yeye ke utuipata.+
25 Mpindieu wewe udi mupite Balaka+ muana wa Sipô, mukalenge wa Moaba anyi? Yeye uvuaku mutande ne bena Isalele peshi muluangane nabu anyi?
26 Pavua Isalele musombele mu Heshebona ne misoko ya kumpenga kuende*+ ne mu Aloê ne misoko ya kumpenga kuende ne mu bimenga bionso bidi ku muelelu kua Ânona munkatshi mua bidimu 300, bua tshinyi kuvua mutete bua kubiangata tshikondo atshi?+
27 Tshiena mukuenzele bibi to, kadi wewe udi wenza bibi bua kunduisha. Yehowa Mulumbuluishi+ ikale mulumbuluishi pankatshi pa tshisamba tshia Isalele ne tshisamba tshia Amona lelu.’”
28 Kadi mukalenge wa bena Amona kakateleja mukenji uvua Yefeta mumutumine to.
29 Nyuma wa Yehowa wakatulukila Yefeta,+ yeye kupitshila mu Gilada ne mu Manashe bua kuya ku Misepe wa mu Gilada,+ ne wakumbuka ku Misepe wa mu Gilada kuyaye too ne kudi bena Amona.
30 Pashishe Yefeta wakenza mutshipu+ kudi Yehowa, kuambaye ne: “Wewe mufile bena Amona mu tshianza tshianyi,
31 nunku muntu yonso udi upatuka ku tshiibi tshia nzubu wanyi bua kusambakena nanyi pandi mfuma kudi bena Amona mu ditalala nealue wa Yehowa,+ ne nemfile muntu au bu mulambu wa kuosha.”+
32 Nunku Yefeta wakaya kuluangana ne bena Amona, ne Yehowa wakabafila mu tshianza tshiende.
33 Wakabashipa dishipa dia dikema menemene kumbukila ku Aloê too ne ku Minita, bimenga 20, too ne ku Abele-kelamima. Nunku bena Amona bakakokeshibua kumpala kua bena Isalele.
34 Ndekelu wa bionso Yefeta wakafika kuende ku Misepa,+ ne mona! muanende wa bakaji uvua upatuka bua kusambakena nende, wenda wimba ngoma ne uja maja! Pabi yeye ke muanende umuepele uvuaye nende. Pa kumbusha yeye au, kavua nansha ne muana wa balume anyi muana wa bakaji.
35 Pakamumonaye, wakadipanda bilamba, kuambaye ne: “Aka! Muananyi wa bakaji, udi munyingalaje muoyo wanyi,* bualu udi mulue muntu undi muipate. Mpindieu nkadi mubulule mukana muanyi kudi Yehowa ne tshiena ne mushindu wa kupingana tshianyima to.”+
36 Kadi wakamuambila ne: “Tatu, biwikala mubulule mukana muebe kudi Yehowa, ngenzela tshiudi mulaye,+ bualu Yehowa mmukusombuele kudi bena lukuna bebe, bena Amona.”
37 Pashishe wakambila tatuende ne: “Ndi ndomba anu bualu bumue: Undekele nkayanyi ngondo ibidi, nye ku mikuna bua kudila bukamama buanyi pamue ne balunda banyi ba bakaji.”*
38 Ke yeye kumuambila ne: “Ndaku!” Nunku wakamutuma bua ngondo ibidi, ne nsongakaji wakaya ku mikuna ne balunda bende bua kudila bukamama buende.
39 Ku ndekelu kua ngondo ibidi, wakapingana kudi tatuende; pashishe tatuende wakakumbaja mutshipu uvuaye muenze bua bualu buende.+ Katu musangile ne mulume musangu nansha umue to. Nunku tshiakalua tshilele* mu Isalele:
40 Tshidimu tshionso nsongakaji ya mu Isalele ivua iya kutumbisha muana wa bakaji wa Yefeta muena Gilada matuku anayi ku tshidimu.
