10 Kunyima kua mafuku a Abimeleke, Tola muana a Puwa, muana a Dodo muntu a mu kisamba kia Isakare bebuele bua kupaasha Isalele, baadi mushale mu Shamire mu nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime. 2 Baadi musambishe Isalele munda mua bipua 23. Akupu aye nkufua na abo nkumushiika mu Shamire.
3 Kunyima kuaye, Yaire muina Gileade bebuele na aye nkusambisha Isalele munda mua bipua 22. 4 Baadi na bana balume 30 abaadi abakaamina pa mpunda 30 na babaadi na bibundi 30 bi’abetanyina mpa na lelo bu Awote-yaire; bi mu nsenga ya Gileade. 5 Kunyima kua biabia, Yaire nkufua na abo nkumushiika mu Kamone.
6 Bena Isalele babakitshine dingi mianda ibubi ku meso kua Yehowa na ababangile kufubila ba Baale, bifuatulo bia Ashitorete, b’efile ba Arame,* b’efile ba Sidone, b’efile ba Moabe, b’efile ba bena Amone, na b’efile ba bena Filistine. Abaadi basumbushene Yehowa na tababaadi bamufubile. 7 Biabia nsungu ya Yehowa nkutembela Isalele na aye nkuibapana mu maasa a bena Filistine na a bena Amone. 8 Nyi abo nkusoosa na nkukiengiesha bena Isalele ngofu mu kiakia kipua—munda mua bipua 18 abo nkukiengiesha bena Isalele boso abaadi abua bushiya bua Yordane, ibaadi nsenga ya bena Amore mu Gileade. 9 Bena Amone abaadi abasabuka Yordane bua kuluisha Yunda, Benyamine na nshibo ya Efraime ngoshi; na Isalele baadi mukiengieshibue ngofu. 10 Akupu bena Isalele nkuitanyina Yehowa bua kuibakuasha, bamba’shi: “Tui bakukitshine muluisho, muanda tui basumbushene Efile Mukulu eetu na tuafubila ba Baale.”
11 Anka Yehowa nkulungula bena Isalele’shi: “Ntshi muinupaashe ku maasa a bena Ejipitu na kui bena Amore, bena Amone, bena Filistine, 12 bena Sidone, Amaleke na Madiane pabaabadi benukiengieshe su? Pabaanudi bedile kuandi, naadi muinupaashe ku maasa aabo. 13 Anka nubaadi bansumbushene na nuafubila bangi b’efile. Nyi buakinyi, ntanenupaasha dingi. 14 Ndayi kui b’efile banudi basangule nuibatekie bukuashi. Benupaashe mu mafuku a dikienga dienu.” 15 Anka bena Isalele nkulungula Yehowa’shi: “Tui bakite muluisho. Etukite kioso kiomono’shi kibuwa ku meso kobe. Anka etupaashe namu lelo.” 16 Abakatuishe b’efile benyi munkatshi muabo na bafubila Yehowa, na tabaadi dingi moobeshe kutadiila* Isalele akiengie.
17 Kunyima bena Amone nkubunga biluilo biabo na abo nkutuula kishalelo mu Gileade; biabia bena Isalele nkuibunga pamune na nkutuula kishalelo mu Misepa. 18 Muilo na ba nfumu ba Gileade abeyipushene’shi: “Nnanyi etukunkusha ku ngoshi y’atukalu na bena Amone? Ekale nfumu a bantu boso ba mu Gileade.”
