38 Mu thembu yenyoyo, Judá waxisa o jiphange jê yu watungu o balaka yê bhu mbandu a diyala mukwa Adulamu amwixana Hila. 2 Kwenyoko Judá wamono kilumba amwixana Suwa, mon’a mukwa Kanana. Kyenyiki Judá wamusolo kala muhat’wê, anga u zeka-nê, 3 mwene anga wimita. Mukusuluka, wavwala mon’a diyala, anga u muluka o dijina dya Hele. 4 Mwene wemita dingi, anga uvwala mon’a diyala, yu wa muluku o dijina dya Onano. 5 Anga uvwala dingi mon’a diyala, yu wa muluku o dijina dya Selá. Mwene* wexile mu Akezibe, kyoso kya mu vwala.

6 Mukubhita thembu, Judá wasolo muhatu phala Hele mon’ê wa dyanga, o muhatu yú dijina dyê Tamale. 7 Maji Hele o mon’a wa dyanga wa Judá, wexile mubhanga ima ya ibhila Jihova, mu kiki Jihova wa mubwika. 8 Mukiki, Judá wambela Onano, wixi: “Kazala ni muhatu wa phang’yé wafu kya, phala mwene atene kukala ni mbutu bhukaxi ké eye.” 9 Maji Onano wejidile kwila, o twana tweji vwala kitweji kala twana twê. Kyenyiki, kyoso kyexile mu zeka ni muhatu wa phang’yê, o mbutu wakexile mu itexé bhoxi phala kavwalele twana kwa phang’yê. 10 O ima yexile mubhanga Onano ya luwalesa Jihova, mu kiki wa mubwika we. 11 Judá wambela Tamale muhatu wa mon’ê, wixi: “Tunga hanji kudibhata dya tat’enu kala u mutudi, kate mon’ami Selá kyanda kula.” Mukonda mudyê, mwene waxinganeka: ‘Nange mwene ufwa we kala kyafu o jiphange jê.’ Kyenyiki Tamale wayi mutunga ku bhata dya tat’ê.

12 Mukubhita thembu, o muhatu wa Judá mon’a Suwa, wafu. Kyoso Judá kyazubha kudila o thambi, wayi ku Timinate kumoxi ni kamba dyê Hila mukwa Adulamu, phala kudisanga ni yó ene mubhuta o ndemba ya jimbudi jê. 13 Tamale amutangela: “Ukowé wa mubanda ku Timinate phala kubhuta o jimbudi jê.” 14 Mu kyenyiki, mwene wate izwatu yengi, wakatula o izwatu ya mutudi, wafutu o pholo ni mvewu anga uvungina o isuxi ni dilesu, yu waxikama bhu mwelu wa Enayimi yala bhu kikoka kya Timinate, mukonda wamono kwila o Selá wakudile kya, maji mwene kamubhanene kwa Selá phala kukala muhat’wê.

15 Kyoso Judá kya mumono, mukithangana kyenyokyo wafika kwila, mwene kidyanzunga mukonda wafutile o pholo yê. 16 Mukyenyiki, wayi kate bhwa kexile mwene, bhu mbandu a kikoka yu wa mwambela, wixi: “Tuzeke kumoxi,” mukonda mwene kejidile kwila muhatu wa mon’ê. Kyenyiki mwene wa mwibhwidisa, wixi: “Ihi iwanda ngibhana phala kuzeka n’eme?” 17 Mwene wa mutambwijila: “Nganda kutumikisa kisutu kya hombo kyatundu mu kibhanga kyami.” Maji o muhatu wa mwibhwidisa: “Ihi iwanda ngibhana phala kulondekesa kwila wanda kumbidila i wa zwela?” 18 Mwene wambe wixi: “Wamesena ngikubhana kima kyahi?” O muhatu wa mutambwijila, wixi: “O nela yé ya sineta, o mukolo wé ni mbangala i wakwata bhu maku.” Mukyenyiki wa mubhana-yu yu wazeka-nê, mwene anga wimita. 19 Mukubhita o ima yiyi, mwene wabalumuka yu wakatuka, wakatula o dilesu, yu wate dingi o izwatu ya mutudi.

20 Judá watumikisa o kisutu kya hombo bhukaxi ka kamba dyê mukwa Adulamu, phala kutambula o ima yabhele ku muhatu, kyoso kya mubhange o kikanenu, maji kamusange. 21 Mwene webhwidisa o mayala a kididi kyenyokyo, wixi: “Kwebhi kwala o kidyanzunga* wakexile mukala ku Enayimi bhu mbandu a kikoka?” Maji ene a mutambwijila: “Nuka twamwene kidyanzunga bhu kididi kiki.” 22 Mukusukaku, mwene wavutuka kwa Judá, yu wa mwambela: “Kingamusange. O mayala a kididi kyenyokyo a ngambela we, exi: ‘Nuka twamwene kidyanzunga bhu kididi kiki.’” 23 Mukyenyiki Judá wambe, wixi: “Axale-phe ni ima yala-nayu, phala katukwatese jisonyi. Kabasa nga mutumikisa o kisutu kya hombo, maji eye kiwamusange.”

24 Mukubhita-phe mbeji jitatu, Judá a mutangela: “Tamale muhatu wa mon’ê, wadibhange kidyanzunga, yu wemita mu undumbu wê.” Judá wambe, wixi: “Mubhekyenu bhu kanga phala kumwoha.” 25 Kyoso kyakexile mu mwambata bhu kanga watumina kutangela ukowê: “O diyala wavu o imbamba yiyi, mwene wa ng’imitisa.” Yu wambe dingi, wixi: “Ngakudyondo, tonginina se o imbamba yiyi yatokala kwa nanyi, o nela ya sinete, o mukolo ni mbangala.” 26 Judá watonginina o ima yu wambe, wixi: “Mwene wa lungwe, o kuyuka kwê kwa betakota, o kwami ndenge, mukonda eme kingamubhana kwa mon’ami Selá.” Tunde mu kithangana kyenyokyo mwene kazekele-nê dingi.

27 Kyoso kyabhixila o kithangana kya kuvwala, mu mala dyê mwexile jingongo. 28 Kyoso kyexile muvvwala, mona umoxi wate o lukwaku bhu kanga, mu kithangana kyenyókyo o muvwadixi,* wakwata kamukolo kakusuka, wa mukutu-ku mu lukwaku, yu wambe, wixi: “Yú mwene wa dyanga o kutunda.” 29 Maji kyoso mwene kyasungu o lukwaku, o muvwadixi wambe: “Kyabhiti kyebhi phala eye kudyanga o kutunda!” Kyenyiki a muluku o dijina dya Peleji.* 30 Mukusuluka, phang’yê wexile ni kamukolo kakusuka mu lukwaku watundu, ya a muluku o dijina dya Nzelá.
