24 Honhu aho nahachemigwa ibindi lya Eshikoli kwa chiwalo cha chizabala cha zabibu chiwele wanhu awa wa Isilaeli nawachihola kulawila honhu aho.
25 Lowasindile kuipugajiza isi kwa mhela wa mazuwa makumi gane, wanhu awo nawahiluka.
26 Nawawalutila Musa na Aluni na Waisilaeli weng'ha ako Kadeshi, kuli chiwala ako Palani, nawalonga mbuli zowaziwene na kuwalajila mafuza ga isi.
27 Nawamlonjela Musa, “Natufika isi youtulajize tuipugajize, ayo ndo isi iwele na mboto, na ali ndo ifuza lyake.
28 Ila wenyeng'haye wa isi ayo ndo wawele na mong'ho lukami, na miji ja hewo ndo mikulu ng'hatu na jina lukanzi lukulu. Natuwona kuko kahi walelwa wa Anaki, wawele ng'wemang'wema lukami.
29 Waamaleki wangikala kuli honhu ha Negebu, Wahiti na Wayebusi na Waamoli wangikala kuli honhu ha vidunda, na Wakanaani wangikala habehi na bahali ya Mediteleniyani na habehi na hafungo ha lwanda lwa Yolodani.”
30 Ila Kalebu nakawadita wanhu wenyamalile tulu hali Musa, nakalonga, “Tuche himahima tukaihole isi ayo. Kwa vila twanalo ludali lwa kuhega ng'hatu kwa kuwasumya.”
31 Ila wanhu wowawele welongoze na heye kuipugajiza isi nawalonga, “Hatuweza kitowa na wanhu awo, hewo wana mong'ho lukami kusinda hetwe.”
32 Ahyo naweneza mbuli zihile hali Waisilaeli kuwala isi yowaipugajize, wolonga, “Isi ayo yotuipugajize yanguwakopola wanhu wake. Kahi wanhu weng'ha wotuwawene ako ndo wang'wemang'wema ng'hatu.
33 Ako natuwona wanhu wawele ng'wemang'wema, walelwa wa Anaki. Hetwe natiwona kota ndede hali hewo, hanji hihyo du vyowatuwene hetwe.”
