18 Mu matuku au kakuvua mukalenge mu Isalele to.+ Mu matuku au tshisa tshia bena Dana+ tshivua tshienda tshikeba bumpianyi bua kusombela, bualu too ne dîba adi kabavua banji kupeta bumpianyi munkatshi mua bisa bia Isalele to.+
2 Bena Dana bakatuma bantu batanu ba mu dîku diabu, bantu bakumbane ba mu Solea ne mu Eshetaola,+ bua kutentekela buloba ne kubutangila. Bakabambila ne: “Ndayi, nutangile buloba abu.” Pakafikabu mu buloba bua mikuna bua Efelayima, ku nzubu kua Mika,+ bakalala muaba au.
3 Pavuabu pabuipi ne nzubu wa Mika, bakamanya dîyi* dia nsongalume muena Lewi, ke bobu kuya kudiye, kumuebeja ne: “Udi mulue nebe apa nnganyi? Ntshinyi tshiudi wenza muaba eu? Tshidi tshikulame apa ntshinyi?”
4 Yeye kubandamuna ne: “Mika mmungenzele nunku ne nunku, ne udi umfuta bua kumuenzela mudimu wa buakuidi.”+
5 Ke bobu kumuambila ne: “Ebeja koku Nzambi ne: luendu luetu neluikale luimpe anyi?”
6 Muakuidi wakabambila ne: “Ndayi mu ditalala. Yehowa udi nenu mu luendu luenu.”
7 Nunku bantu balume batanu abu bakatungunuka ne luendu luabu, kufikabu ku Layishe.+ Bakamona muvua bantu bavuamu basombe kabayi beyemena bantu bakuabu anu bu bena Sidona. Bavua mu ditalala, kabayi batekemena bualu bubi,+ ne kakuvua muntu wa tshikisu uvua uluisha buloba bua kubatatshisha to. Bavua kule ne bena Sidona, ne kabavua babuelakana ne muntu mukuabu nansha umue.
8 Pakapinganabu kudi bana babu ku Solea ne ku Eshetaola,+ bana babu bakabebeja ne: “Malu mmende mushindu kayi?”
9 Bobu kubandamuna ne: “Tubandayi bua kubaluisha, bualu tudi bamone ne: buloba abu mbuimpe be! Nudi nuelakana bua tshinyi? Kanujanguluki bua kuya kuangata buloba abu to.
10 Panuafika, nenusangane bantu badi kabayi batekemena bualu bubi,+ ne buloba abu mbualabale. Nzambi mmubufile mu tshianza tshienu, buloba budi kabuyi bupangile tshintu nansha tshimue.”+
11 Pashishe bantu balume 600 ba mu dîku dia bena Dana bikale ne bia mvita bua kuluangana bakumbuka ku Solea ne ku Eshetaola.+
12 Bakabanda, kuasabu tshitudilu ku Kîyata-yalima+ mu Yuda. Ke bualu kayi badi babikila muaba udi ku ouest kua Kîyata-yalima au ne: Mahene-dana*+ too ne lelu.
13 Bakumbuka muaba au batangile ku buloba bua mikuna bua Efelayima, bobu kufika ku nzubu wa Mika.+
14 Pashishe bantu balume batanu bavua baye kutentekela buloba bua Layishe+ bakambila bana babu ne: “Nudi bamanye ne: mu nzubu eyi mudi efoda, mpingu ya telafima,* lupingu lusonga, ne lupingu lua tshiamu* anyi?+ Elayi meji bua tshinudi mua kuenza.”
15 Nunku bakimana muaba au, bobu kuya ku nzubu wa nsongalume muena Lewi+ ku nzubu wa Mika, kumuebejabu bua kumanya muvuaye.
16 Dîba dionso adi bantu balume 600 ba mu Dana+ bavua ne bia mvita bua kuluangana bavua bimane ku tshibuelelu tshia tshiibi.
17 Bantu balume batanu bavua baye kutentekela buloba abu+ bakabuela mu nzubu bua kuangata lupingu lusonga, efoda,+ mpingu ya telafima,*+ ne lupingu lua tshiamu.*+ (Muakuidi+ uvua muimane ku tshibuelelu tshia tshiibi ne bantu 600 bavua ne bia mvita bua kuluangana.)
18 Bakabuela mu nzubu mua Mika, kuangatabu lupingu lusonga, efoda, mpingu ya telafima,* ne lupingu lua tshiamu.* Muakuidi kubebejaye ne: “Tshinudi nuenza ntshinyi?”
19 Kadi bobu bakamuambila ne: “Puwa. Teka tshianza tshiebe ku mishiku yebe, utulonde bua wikale tatu* ne muakuidi kutudi. Tshidi tshimpe ntshinyi? Ntshia wewe kuikala muakuidi wa nzubu wa muntu umue+ peshi ntshia kulua muakuidi wa tshisa tshijima ne dîku mu Isalele?”+
20 Nunku muakuidi wakasanka, yeye kuangata efoda, mpingu ya telafima,* ne lupingu lusonga,+ kuyaye ne bantu abu.
21 Pashishe bakakudimuka bua kutungunuka ne njila wabu, kupitshishabu bana, bimuna, ne bintu bia mushinga kumpala kuabu.
22 Bakavua baye ntanta ne nzubu wa Mika pavua bantu bavua basombele mu nzubu ivua pabuipi ne nzubu wa Mika badisangishe pamue, balonde bena Dana, babapete.
23 Pakelabu bena Dana dîyi, bobu bakakudimuka bua kubatangila, kuebejabu Mika ne: “Mbualu kayi? Nudi badisangishe pamue bua tshinyi?”
24 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Nudi bangate nzambi yanyi imvua muenze, ne nudi baye kabidi ne muakuidi wanyi. Meme ndi mushale ne tshinyi? Nunku mmunyi munudi nungebeja ne: ‘Udi ne bualu kayi?’”
25 Bena Dana bakandamuna ne: “Kutubandishidi dîyi to; tshianana, bantu badi ne tshiji* badi mua kukuenzela bibi, ne bualu abu budi mua kujimijija muoyo* webe ne mioyo* ya ba mu nzubu muebe.”
26 Nunku bena Dana bakatungunuka ne njila wabu; ne bu muvua Mika mumone ne: bavua ne bukole bupite buende yeye, wakakudimuka, kupinganaye ku nzubu kuende.
27 Panyima pa bobu bamane kuangata bintu bivua Mika muenze, bangate ne muakuidi wende, bakaya ku Layishe,+ kudi bantu bavua mu ditalala, kabayi batekemena bualu bubi.+ Bakabashipa ne muele wa mvita, kuoshabu tshimenga tshiabu ne kapia.
28 Kakuvua muntu wa kusungila tshimenga atshi, bualu tshivua kule ne Sidona ne benamu kabavua babuelakana ne muntu mukuabu nansha umue ne tshiotshi tshine tshivua mu tshibandabanda* tshivua mu Bete-lehoba.+ Pashishe bakibakulula tshimenga atshi, bobu kusombamu.
29 Bakinyika kabidi tshimenga atshi ne: Dana,+ bilondeshile dîna dia tatuabu Dana uvuabu balelele Isalele.+ Kadi kumpala, dîna dia tshimenga atshi divua Layishe.+
30 Pashishe bena Dana bakadimanyikila lupingu lusonga,+ ne Yonatana+ muana wa Gêshoma,+ muana wa Mose, ne bana bende ba balume bakalua bakuidi ba tshisa tshia bena Dana too ne dituku divuabu bakuate bena mu buloba abu baye nabu mu ditunga dikuabu.
31 Bakimanyika lupingu lusonga luvua Mika muenze, ne luakashala muaba au matuku onso avua nzubu wa Nzambi mulelela mu Shilo.+
