Ŵeruzgi 3:1-31
3 Iyi ndi mitundu yo Yehova wanguyizomereza kuti yilutirizgi kuja mucharu ichi, ndi chilatu chakuti yiyesi Ayisirayeli wosi wo akuchitapu cha nkhondu ndi Akanani+
2 (kuti migonezi yapanthazi ya Ayisirayeli yo yalekanga kuziŵa nkhondu, iyiziŵi):
3 mafumu ngankhondi nga Afilisiti,+ Akanani wosi, ŵanthu a ku Sidoni+ ndipuso Ahivi+ wo aja ku Phiri la Lebanoni+ kutuliya ku Phiri la Bala-herimoni mpaka ku Lebo-Hemati.*+
4 Mitundu yeniyi, yinguja nge nthowa yakuyese Ayisirayeli kuti alongo asani avwiya marangu ngaku Yehova ngo wangupaska awusewu kuziya mwaku Mozesi.+
5 Mwaviyo, Ayisirayeli ajanga pakati pa Akanani,+ Ahiti, Aamori, Aperezi, Ahivi ndipuso Ayebusi.
6 Yiwu atonga ŵana ŵawu anthukazi kuja awolu ŵawu, kweniso aperekanga ŵana ŵawu anthukazi kuti aje awolu a ŵana anthulumi a ŵanthu amitundu yeniyi. Yiwu ateŵetiyanga so achiuta ŵawu.+
7 Mwaviyo, Ayisirayeli anguchita vinthu viheni pa masu paku Yehova, ndipu angumuluwa Yehova Chiuta wawu kweniso ateŵetiyanga Abala+ ndi mapolu ngakupaturika.*+
8 Venivi vinguchitiska kuti ukali waku Yehova ukole pa Ayisirayeli, ndipu wanguŵagulisa mu manja mwaku Kushani-risatayimu, fumu ya Mesopotamiya.* Ayisirayeli anguteŵete Kushani-risatayimu kwa vyaka 8.
9 Ayisirayeli ŵati aliriya Yehova kuti waŵawovyi,+ Yehova wanguŵapaska Otiniyeli+ mwana waku Kenazi kuti waŵataski.+ Kenazi wenga mvurwa waku Kalebe.
10 Mzimu waku Yehova unguza paku iyu,+ ndipu wanguja wakweruzga Ayisirayeli. Wati waluta ku nkhondu, Yehova wangupereka Kushani-risatayimu, fumu ya Mesopotamiya* mu manja mwaki, ndipu iyu wanguthereska Kushani-risatayimu.
11 Ivi vati vachitika, charu chingupumuwa* kwa vyaka 40. Pavuli paki Otiniyeli mwana waku Kenazi, wangufwa.
12 Ayisirayeli angwamba so kuchita vinthu viheni pa masu paku Yehova.+ Mwaviyo Yehova wanguzomereza kuti Egiloni, fumu ya Mowabu+ wathereski Ayisirayeli, chifukwa yiwu anguchita vinthu viheni pa masu paku Yehova.
13 Kweniso wanguŵatumiziya Aamoni+ ndi Aamaleki.+ Yiwu anguyukiya Ayisirayeli ndipu anguphanga tawuni ya vimiti va kantchindi.+
14 Ayisirayeli anguteŵete Egiloni fumu ya Mowabu kwa vyaka 18.+
15 Sonu Ayisirayeli anguliriya Yehova kuti waŵawovyi.+ Mwaviyo, Yehova wanguŵapaska Ehudi kuti waŵataski.+ Ehudi+ wenga mwana waku Gera, wa mu fuku laku Benjamini,+ ndipu wagwiriskiyanga ntchitu janja lamazge.+ Pati pajumpha nyengu, Ayisirayeli angutumiza msonkhu kwaku Egiloni fumu ya Mowabu kuziya mwaku iyu.
16 Ehudi wangujipangiya lipanga lakuthwa kosikosi, ndipu lenga litali masentimita pafufupi 38.* Wangulimangiriya mumalaya, pachiŵa chaki chakumaryi.
17 Iyu wangupereka msonkhu kwaku Egiloni, fumu ya Mowabu. Egiloni wenga munthu wakututuŵa ukongwa.
18 Ehudi wati wapereka msonkhu, wangukambiya ŵanthu wo angunyamuwa msonkhu kuti akengi.
19 Kweni ŵati afika pa vikozgu vakusema* ku Giligala,+ iyu wanguwelere ndipu wangukamba kuti: “Nde ndi uthenga winu wachisisi fumu yangu.” Sonu fumu yingukamba kuti: “Jani cheti!” Yati yakamba venivi, ateŵeti ŵaki wosi angutuwapu ndipu yingujapu yija.
20 Sonu Ehudi wanguza kwaku Egiloni, ndipu pa nyengu iyi Egiloni wenga yija muchipinda chaki chapachanya chakuzizira. Ehudi wangukamba kuti: “Nde ndi uthenga winu wakutuliya kwaku Chiuta.” Mwaviyo, Egiloni wangusoka pampandu waki waufumu.
21 Ehudi wangusolo lipanga laki pachiŵa chaki chakumaryi ndi janja laki lamazge, ndipu wangumugwaza nalu palufu.
22 Lipanga lingusere ndi chigumbu viyo; mafuta ngangubenekere lipanga chifukwa chakuti wangulisolo cha palufu, ndipu mavi ngangutuwa.
23 Ehudi wangujala visasa va chipinda chapachanya, ndipuso wanguviloka, ndipu pavuli paki iyu wangutuliya pakhondi.*
24 Ehudi wati waluta, ateŵeti a fumu anguza ndipu angusaniya kuti visasa va chipinda chapachanya vakuloka. Yiwu angukamba kuti: “Watenere kuti watijiwovya* muchipinda chamukati chakuzizira.”
25 Yiwu angulutirizga kulindizga mpaka angwamba kufipa mtima, kweni ŵati awona kuti wajula mbwenu cha visasa vachipinda chapachanya, anguto ki ndi kuvijula. Yiwu angusaniya kuti mbuyawu wawa pasi* ndipu wafwa!
26 Ehudi wanguthaŵa yiwu ŵeche kuŵanaŵana kuti chachitika ntchinthu wuli, ndipu wangujumpha pa vikozgu vakusema.*+ Iyu wanguchifika ku Seyira umamphaumampha.
27 Wati wafika, wangumba mbata*+ muchigaŵa chamapiri cha Efurayemu;+ ndipu Ayisirayeli angusika kutuliya muchigaŵa chamapiri. Iyu ndiyu waŵalongozganga.
28 Iyu wanguŵakambiya kuti: “Ndilondoni, chifukwa Yehova wapereka arwani ŵinu Amowabu mu manja mwinu.” Sonu yiwu angumulondo ndipu anguphanga malu ngakuyambukiya msinji wa Yorodani kuluta kwa Amowabu, ndipu azomerezanga cha kuti munthu weyosi wayambuki.
29 Pa nyengu yeniyi, angubaya Amowabu pafufupi 10,000.+ Chinanga kuti wosi ŵenga anthulumi anthazi kweniso achiganga, kweni pengavi yo wanguthaŵa.+
30 Mwaviyo, pa zuŵa lenili Ayisirayeli anguthereska Amowabu; ndipu charu chingupumuwa* kwa vyaka 80.+
31 Pavuli paku Ehudi panguza Shamugari+ mwana waku Anati. Iyu wangubaya Afilisiti 600+ ndi mjokonyu wa ng’ombi.*+ Nayu so wangutaska Ayisirayeli.
