²Sitefano ahitula, “Walukolo na watate, netegelazani, umo mkale ywetu Bulahimu henati kwita kwikala Halani, Chohile atakate kamlaila Bulahimu uko Mesopotaniya

³nakumgamba, ‘Yase ikaya yako na isi wite kwe si hunga hulagise.’

⁴Niyo ayasa isi yakwe niyo aita Halani. Tati yakwe Bulahimu eze abanike, Chohile kamsamiza amwigala kwe isi mkwikala vino haluse.

⁵Chohile hamwinkile Bulahimu hantu hohose hatende ulisi wakwe mwenye, henkigwe hata ntendele, mna Chohile amgambilaga namwinke itende yakwe hamwenga na lukolo lwakwe. Chohile akadamanya ivyo Bulahimu nahena mwana.

⁶Vino nivyo Chohile amgambaga, ‘Cheleko chako nachikale kwe si ya wenye, uko nawatende watumwa nakudamanywa vihiye kwa mihilimo magana mnane.

⁷Mna naniwakantile wadya wantu wose wakunga wawatendeni watumwa. Akajika naniwalavye mwe isi iyo chani weze wanisankanile hantu hano.’

⁸Niyo Chohile amwinka lagano dya ngasu. Bulahimu niyo amjela ngasu Isaka mazuwa mnane eze elekwe. Isaka naye amjela ngasu mwanawe Yakobo, Yakobo naye awajela wanawe mlongo na waidi, tati yetu chizwele we ichipindi chino chinanacho.”

⁹“Wana Yakobo wengila finju kwa mlukolo ywawo Yusufu na kumtaga atende mtumwa uko Misili. Mna Chohile endaga hamwenga na Yusufu,

¹⁰nakamusiza nkunto zose adugane nazo. Yusufu eze alaile mwa meso ya Falao zumbe ywa Misili, Chohile amjimbika na kumwinka umanyi, zumbe naye amwinka Yusufu uzumbe we isi na ukulu wo ugoli wose.

¹¹Niyo kwagwa gumbo mwe isi yose ya Misili na Kanani, itendile watati zetu wanyale vidala kwa kuswesa nkande,

¹²Yakobo eze eve kugamba Misili kuna nkande niyo awasigila wanawe, watati zetu, mo kutalamka kwawo nkanana ya nkongo.

¹³Mwe ntambo ya kaidi, Yusufu niyo etambalisa kwa walukolo wakwe, Seuta ywa Misili naye amanya ulukolo lwa Yusufu.

¹⁴Yusufu niyo amsigila tati yakwe Yakobo, kugamba, ulukolo lose lukubula wantu milongo mfungate na washano vino, wabule Misili.

¹⁵Yakobo niyo aita Misili, uko yeye hamwenga na wanawe wabanikila uko.

¹⁶Wakuzikilwa Shekemu mwe mbila agwile Bulahimu kulawa mwe lukolo lwa Hana kwa chiyasi cha hela.

¹⁷“Wantu nendile wongezeka kudya Misili umo Chohile akadamanya ndagano amgambilaga Bulahimu.

¹⁸Niyo kwalaila zumbe hemmanyize Yusufu akongile kuilongoza Misili.

¹⁹Awadamanyiza chijilajila watati zetu na kuwadamanya vihiye, kuwaunga wawaike kuse watiti wawo wabanike.”

²⁰“Musa, mwana mtana vidala, elekagwa mwe chipindi chino, kasinywa vyedi kwawo kwa myezi mitatu,

²¹eze alavigwe kuse niyo mwana chivyele ywa Seuta Falao amlogota na kumlela akule.

²²Musa niyo ahinywa umanyi wose wa Chimisili, naye niyo atenda mntu mkulu mwe milosi na ntendwa.”

²³“Musa eze abule mihilimo milongo mine awona akaule ntendwa wakudamanywa Waizulaeli weyawe.

²⁴Awona yumwenga akadamanywa vihiye ni Mmisili, niyo akumwambiza na kumvuziza Mmisili uyo kwa kumkoma.

²⁵Nakamanya wantu wakwe nawamanye kugamba Chohile namjeseze awatende walekeilwe mna hawabunkule.

²⁶Zuwa ditimile awona Waizulaeli waidi watowana, niyo ajeza kuwalamwila na kuwagamba, ‘Wagosi tegelezani, nyuwe mwi wamwe, ni mbwani mkudamanyizana yehiye?’

²⁷Mna yudya na kamtowa mnyawe niyo amsindika Musa hankanda, na kumuza, ni yuhi akutendile mkanti ywetu uchilamwile?
