Ŵeruzgi 1:1-36
1 Yoswa wati wafwa,+ Ayisirayeli* angufumba Yehova kuti:+ “Ndiyani pakati pidu yo watidanjiriyengi kuchichita nkhondu ndi Akanani?”
2 Yehova wangumuka kuti: “Yuda walutengi.+ Awonani! Ndiperekengi* charu ichi mu manja mwaki.”
3 Sonu Yuda wangukambiya mubali waki Simiyoni kuti: “Tiyi tilutiyi limoza kuchigaŵa cho ndapaskika,*+ kuti tikachiti nkhondu ndi Akanani. Pavuli paki nani ndazamulutiya nawi limoza kuchigaŵa cho wapaskika.” Mwaviyo, Simiyoni wanguluta nayu.
4 Yuda wati waluta, Yehova wangupereka Akanani kweniso Aperezi mu manja mwawu,+ ndipu anguthereska anthulumi 10,000 ku Bezeki.
5 Yiwu angusaniya Adoni-bezeki ku Bezeki ndipu anguchita nayu nkhondu. Anguthereska Akanani+ kweniso Aperezi.+
6 Adoni-bezeki wachithaŵa, angumutchimbiza ndipu angumuko, angumudumuwa vikumbu vikuluvikulu vakumanja ndi vakumaphazi.
7 Sonu Adoni-bezeki wangukamba kuti: “Pe mafumu 70 ngo ngakudumulika vikumbu vikuluvikulu vakumanja ndi vakumaphazi, ngo ngatondo vakurya pasi pa thebulu langu. Vo ndinguchita ndivu so Chiuta wandiweze.” Pavuli paki, angumutole ku Yerusalemu+ ndipu wangufwiya kweniko.
8 Kweniso, anthulumi a ku Yuda anguchita nkhondu ndi Yerusalemu,+ ndipu angulonda tawuni yo; yiwu angubaya weyosi ndi lipanga ndipu tawuni yo anguyiwotcha.
9 Pavuli paki, anthulumi a ku Yuda anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Akanani wo ajanga kuchigaŵa chamapiri, ku Negebu ndipuso ku Shefela.+
10 Sonu yiwu anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Akanani wo ajanga ku Heburoni (kali Heburoni wadanikanga kuti Kiriyati-ariba), ndipu angubaya ŵanthu a ku Sheshayi, Ahimani ndipuso a ku Talimayi.+
11 Yiwu angwenda kutuliya kumalu ngenanga ndipu anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Debiri.+ (Kali Debiri wadanikanga kuti Kiriyati-seferi.)+
12 Sonu Kalebe+ wangukamba kuti: “Munthu yo wathereskengi Kiriyati-seferi ndi kulonda tawuni yeniyi, ndimupaskengi mwana wangu Akisa kuti waje muwolu waki.”+
13 Ndipu Otiniyeli+ mwana waku Kenazi+ ndiyu wangulonda tawuni yeniyi. Kenazi wenga mvurwa waku Kalebe. Sonu Kalebe wangumupaska Akisa kuti waje muwolu waki.
14 Akisa wachiluta kunyumba yaki, wanguchichizga Otiniyeli kuti wapemphi malu kwa awisi. Pavuli paki, Akisa wangusika pabulu,* ndipu Kalebe wangumufumba kuti: “Upenjanji?”
15 Iyu wangumumuka kuti: “Munditumbiki chondi, pakuti mwandipaska malu kumwera;* mundipaski so Guloti-mayimu.”* Mwaviyo Kalebe wangumupaska Guloti Wakunena ndi Guloti Wakumphata.
16 Ŵana a msibweni* waku Mozesi,+ yo wenga munthu wa mumtundu wa Akeni,+ anguza kutuliya kutawuni ya vimiti va kantchindi+ limoza ndi ŵanthu a ku Yuda. Yiwu anguza kuchipululu cha Yuda kumwera kwa Aradi.+ Anguchija kweniko pakati pa ŵanthu wo.+
17 Kweni Yuda ndi mubali waki Simiyoni angulutiriya ndipu anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Akanani wo ajanga ku Zefati ndipu angubwanganduwa tawuni yo.+ Pavuli paki tawuni yo anguyipaska zina lakuti Horima.*+
18 Sonu Yuda wangulonda Gaza+ ndi vigaŵa vaki, Ashikeloni+ ndi vigaŵa vaki ndipuso Ekironi+ ndi vigaŵa vaki.
19 Yehova wanguŵawovya ŵanthu a fuku laku Yuda ndipu angulonda chigaŵa chamapiri kuja chawu, kweni anguŵatuzgamu cha ŵanthu wo ajanga muchidika, chifukwa ŵenga ndi magaleta ngankhondu ngavisulu.*+
20 Kalebe angumupaska Heburoni nge mo Mozesi wangulayizgiya,+ ndipu iyu wangudikisa ŵana atatu aku Anaki.+
21 Kweni ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguŵadikisa cha Ayebusi wo ajanga ku Yerusalemu, mwaviyo Ayebusi alutirizga kuja ndi ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini ku Yerusalemu mpaka msanawale.+
22 Pa nyengu yeniyi, nyumba yaku Yosefi+ yinguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Beteli, ndipu Yehova waŵawovyanga.+
23 Nyumba yaku Yosefi yafufuzanga charu cha Beteli (kali Beteli wadanikanga kuti Luzi),+
24 ndipu ŵanthu wo anguluta kuchifufuza* anguwona munthu wachituwa mutawuni. Yiwu angumukambiya kuti: “Tilongo nthowa yakuselere mutawuni, ndipu tikuchitiyengi lisungu.”*
25 Mwaviyo, iyu wanguŵalongo nthowa yakuselere mutawuni, ndipu yiwu angubaya munthu weyosi mutawuni yo ndi lipanga, kweni munthu yo angumusiya wamoyu limoza ndi banja laki losi.+
26 Munthu mwenuyu wanguluta kucharu cha Ahiti, ndipu wanguzenga tawuni yeniyo wanguyipaska zina lakuti Luzi. Tawuni iyi yiziŵika ndi zina lenili mpaka msanawale.
27 Manasi wangulonda cha Beti-sheyani ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana,* Tanaki+ ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana, ŵanthu a ku Dori ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana, ŵanthu a ku Ibuleyamu ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana kweniso ŵanthu a ku Megido ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana.+ Akanani angukaniriya mucharu chenichi.
28 Ayisirayeli ŵati aja ndi nthazi ukongwa, angwamba kugwiriska ntchitu Akanani nge akapolu,+ kweni anguŵadikisiya limu cha.+
29 Kweniso ŵanthu a fuku laku Efurayemu nawu anguŵadikisa cha Akanani wo ajanga ku Gezeri. Akanani ŵenaŵa angulutirizga kuja pakati pawu ku Gezeri.+
30 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Zebuloni anguŵadikisa cha ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Kitironi kweniso wo ajanga ku Nahalolu.+ Akanani angulutirizga kuja pakati pawu kweni aŵagwiriskanga ntchitu nge akapolu.+
31 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Ashere anguŵadikisa cha ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Ako, ndipuso wo ajanga ku Sidoni,+ Alabu, Akizibu,+ Heliba, Afiki+ kweniso Rehobu.+
32 Sonu ŵanthu a fuku laku Ashere angulutirizga kuja pakati pa Akanani wo ajanga mucharu cho, chifukwa yiwu anguŵadikisa cha Akanani.
33 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Nafutali anguŵadikisa cha ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Beti-shemeshi kweniso wo ajanga ku Beti-anati,+ ndipu yiwu angulutirizga kuja pakati pa Akanani wo ajanga mucharu cho.+ Kweni ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Beti-shemeshi ndi ku Beti-anati aŵagwiriyanga ntchitu nge akapolu.
34 Aamori afinyikiziyanga ŵanthu a fuku laku Dani kuchigaŵa chamapiri, pakuti aŵazomerezanga cha kuti asikiyi kuchidika.+
35 Mwaviyo, Aamori angukaniriya ku Phiri la Heresi, Aijaloni+ ndipuso ku Shalabimu.+ Kweni nyumba yaku Yosefi yati yaja ndi nthazi ukongwa,* yingwamba kugwiriska ntchitu Aamori nge Akapolu.
36 Chigaŵa cha Aamori chingwambiya kumalu ngakukwera nga Akirabimu,+ kutuwa ku Sela kuluta kunena.
