¹Mndewa yumwe Mkanaani wa Aladi nayawele yochikala ako Negebu, navyoyahuliche mbuli ayi kota Waisilaeli nawali wokuya kwa nzila ya Atalimu, nakaluta kuwatowa, nakawahola wamwe wa hewo.

²Aho Waisilaeli nawamlahila Mkulu Nguluwi wolonga, “Wone kowawika wanhu wano kuli moko ga hetwe, lelo tojidumya ng'hatu miji ja hewo.”

³Mkulu Nguluwi nakahulika kulanda kwa hewo, nakawadita wawasumye Wakanaani. Waisilaeli nawawadumya ng'hatu Wakanaani hamwe na miji ja hewo. Ahyo honhu aho nahachemigwa Holima.

⁴Waisilaeli nawaluka majendo kulawa chidunda cha Holi, nawakola nzila ilingulutila Bahali ya Shamu leka waizungulute isi ya Edomu. Ila lowawele mnzila, wanhu nawagozola.

⁵Lelo nawaluka kuwang'ung'utila Nguluwi na Musa, wolonga, “Lekachoni namtulavya kula Misili leka tubagame aku kuchiwala? Aku kwa haduhu mazi ne chilyo, natwe natutoka kwa mana ayi chakachaka.”

⁶Aho Mkulu Nguluwi nakegala mizoka jiwele na dunga hali wanhu, najiwaluma wanhu wenji mbaka Waisilaeli wenji kahi nawabagama.

⁷Lelo wanhu nawamlutila Musa, nawamlonjela, “Natudita gehile kwa kuwang'ung'utila hegwe na Mkulu Nguluwi. Mlande Mkulu Nguluwi yatusile mizoka aji.” Ahyo, Musa nakawalandila wanhu.

⁸Ahyo, na heye Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela Musa, “Gongomanya izoka lya shaba, lininize mchanya mwa igodi. Munhu yoneche yolumigwa na izoka, yolilola izoka alyo lya shaba, kowa mkomu.”

⁹Lelo Musa nakagongomanya izoka lya shaba, nakalininiza kuli izengo. Chila munhu yoyalumigwe na izoka loyalilolile izoka alyo lya shaba, nakawa mkomu.
