9 Gedaliya mwana kaAhikami, Ahikami mwana kaShafani wasanyikili kudi wena nikudi antu jawu awamayala nindi: “Bayi mutiya woma kukalakela aKalideyaku. Shakamenu mwituña nawa mukalakelenu mwanta wakuBabiloni nawa yuma yikuyiwahilaña.+
10 Hakwila ami, nukushakama muMizipa kulonda niyimeneñaku kudi* aKalideya akwinzaña kudi etu. Ilaña mwatela kupompesha vinyu, nyikaabu yamunooña, nimanji nakuyisha muyipwepu yenu yakuhembelamu nawa mushakami munyisumba yimunatambuli.”+
11 Nawa aYudeya ejima adiña muMowabi, muAmoni nimuEdomi, kubombelahu niadiña mumaluña amakwawu ejima, niwena atiyili nawu mwanta waBabiloni neteji ashalahu kushakama muYuda nawa nawu natondi Gedaliya mwana kaAhikami, Ahikami mwana kaShafani kulonda ayitaleña.

Muloñadi chikukujahilayi,* nawa muloñadi antu ejima amuYuda anapompi kudi eyi chakuyipalañeshelawu niashalahu amuYuda chikunoñelawu?”
16 Ilaña Gedaliya+ mwana kaAhikami wamulejeli Yohanani mwana kaKareya nindi: “Bayi wila mwenomuku, muloña nsañu yiwunakuhosha hadi Ishimayeli yamakudi.”
