9 Nuuvira okathi, Abimeleki+ mwaana a Yerubayali, aahirowa okumana ni axinnawe a woomaamani oSikhemi, ni amusi ootheene a taata awe, aahimeerya wiira: 2 “Xontte, mwaakohe ahooleli* ootheene a oSikhemi wiira: ‘Exeeni enoona anyu oreerela? Niireke olamuleliwa ni anamwane ootheene 70 a Yerubayali,+ aahiiso olamuleliwa ni mulopwana mmosa? Muupuweleke wiira hiyo nirina ephome emosa-ru’”.*

3 Tivo axinnawe a woomaamani, yaahaaleela ahooleli ootheene a oSikhemi moolumo a Abimeleki. Nto mirima sa ahooleli awo, saahiphavela omutthara Abimeleki, maana yaanihimya wiira: “Owo munnihu”. 4 Vano ahooleli awo, yaahinvaha Abimeleki musurukhu 70 wa eparatha, yaakunxe aya mpaani* mwa Bayaali-Berithi.+ Nto, Abimeleki aahirumeela musurukhu owo wiira aathukumanye alopwana ootakhala ni alavilavi, aalivaka wiira amutthareke. 5 Nuumala-vo Abimeleki aahirowa etthoko ya paapa awe, wOfra,+ owiivakasa axinnawe vanlukuni,+ eyo piiyo, anamwane a Yerubayali, alopwana 70. Ooponwe paahi aari Yotami, mwaana ookiseriwa a Yerubayali, okhala wiira aarimwiipitha.

6 Moottharelana, ahooleli ootheene a oSikhemi ni atthu ootheene a oBethi-Milo, yaahithukumana, ni yaahimukhaliha mwene Abimeleki,+ vakhiviru wa mwiri muulupale, yoowo waattamenle epilaari yaari oSikhemi.

7 Nuumala Yotami oleeliwa, aahirowa moowaakuveya omwaako Xerizimi,+ eemela weiwo, onakhuwela ni nsu noowiiwanyeya oriki: “Mukiwiriyane, nyuwo ahooleli a oSikhemi, nave Muluku onimoowiriyanani.

8 “Nihiku nimosa, miri saahithukumana wiira simuthanle mwene aya. Siiso, saahihimeerya mwiri wa olivera wiira: ‘Mukhale mwene ahu’.+ 9 Masi mwiri wa olivera waahaakhula oriki: ‘Miyo kakhala mwene,* nkinrowa-tho okumiherya makhura anirumeeliwa wiira ovuwihiweke Muluku ni atthu. Miyo nkimphavela okhala mwene. 10 Vano miri saahihimeerya mwiri wa ifigu wiira: ‘Murwe mukhale mwene ahu’. 11 Masi mwiri wa ifigu waahaakhula wiira: ‘Miyo kakhala mwene* nkinrowa-tho wiimaka mihokorokho soosiva ni mihokorokho sooreera. Miyo nkimphavela okhala mwene’. 12 Moottharelana, miri saahihimeerya mwiri wa ewuuva wiira: ‘Murwe mukhale mwene ahu’. 13 Nto mwiri wa ewuuva waahaakhula oriki: ‘Miyo kakhala mwene,* nkinrowa-tho okumiherya eviinyu ya niinaano, yeeyo enimutteeliha murima Muluku ni atthu. Miyo nkimphavela okhala mwene. 14 Wookiseryani waya, miri sootheene saahihimeerya mwiri wa miiwa wiira: ‘Murwe, mukhale mwene ahu’.+ 15 Siiso, mwiri wa miiwa waahaakhula wiira: ‘Vakhala wiira muniphavela tthiri okithanla wiira kikhale mwene anyu, murwe, mutthyawele vamuuttutthini vaka. Masi mwaahiphaveleke, okhumelele mooro vamwirini wa miiwa ni opahe miri suulupale sa oLiibano’.

16 “Vano niireke muhooniherya ororomeleya, nave moopaka etthu yooloka, mmukhalihaka Abimeleki mwene?+ Niireke moomureerela murima Yerubayali ni atthu a etthoko awe, ni moomuthokorerya ntoko aaphwanela awe? 17 Okathi paapa aka aawanne awe mwaha wa nyuwo,+ aahileva okumi awe wiira owoopoleni, mmatatani mwa atthu a oMidiyani.+ 18 Masi, olelo moovirikanya etthoko ya paapa aka, nave moowiiva anaawe, eyo piiyo, alopwana 70, vanlukuni.+ Nuumala-vo moomukhaliha mwene Abimeleki, mwaana a epottha yoothiyana ya apaapa,+ wiira aalamuleleke ahooleli a oSikhemi, mwaha woowi owo munninyu. 19 Tthiri, akhala wiira olelo-va munooniherya ororomeleya, nave etthu enimwiirela anyu Yerubayali ni atthu a etthoko awe ti yooloka, weeso muhakalaleke ni Abimeleki, vano owo ohakalaleke ni nyuwo. 20 Masi vahaakhanle siiso, weeso okhume mooro wa Abimeleki, ni waapahe ahooleli a oSikhemi ni oBethi-Milo.+ Nave okhume mooro wa ahooleli a oSikhemi ni oBethi-Milo, ompahe Abimeleki”.+

21 Nuumala-vo, Yotami+ aahitthyawela oBeeri, onakhala weiwo mwaha wa munnawe, Abimeleki.

22 Abimeleki aahaalamulela atthu a Isarayeli iyaakha tthaaru. 23 Vano Muluku aahikumiherya ohiiwanana eriyari ya Abimeleki ni ahooleli a oSikhemi. Nto ahooleli a oSikhemi awo, yaahimurukunuwela Abimeleki. 24 Tthiri vaanireerela wiira wiiviwa wa anamwane 70 a Yerubayali wunleliwe ikuhu: Munnaya, Abimeleki, akumiheriwe mulattu mwaha woowiivakasa axinnawe,+ vano ahooleli a oSikhemi ekumiheriwe mulattu mwaha woomukhaliherya Abimeleki owiiva axinnawe. 25 Siiso, ahooleli a oSikhemi, yaahaapweha alopwana vasulu va miyaako wiira amwiipithele Abimeleki. Alopwana awo yaaniwiiyerya atthu ootheene yaavira mustaraatani. Muhoolo mwaya, etthu eyo aahileeliwa Abimeleki.

26 Nto Gayaali, mwaana a Ebedi, ni axinnawe, yaahirowa oSikhemi.+ Nto ahooleli a oSikhemi yaahimuroromela. 27 Awo yaahirowa omatta, arukula ni anyakela ewuuva ya mmatta mwaya, nto apaka efesta. Nuumala-vo, yaahikela mpaani mwa muluku aya,+ analya, anawurya, ni anamutakhaliha Abimeleki. 28 Nuumala-vo, Gayaali mwaana a Ebedi, aahihimya wiira: “Abimeleki tani? Nave, Sikhemi tani wiira nimurumeeleke? Kiira Abimeleki mwaana a Yerubayali,+ nave Zebuli, mukhulupale awe? Naarumeeleke anamwane a Hamori, paapa awe Sikhemi. Xeeni nimmurumeela ahu Abimeleki? 29 Vaakhanle wiira atthu ala anilamuleliwa ni miyo, kammoomola Abimeleki”. Moottharelana, Gayaali aahimuhimeerya Abimeleki wiira: “Muncererye nummeru na anakhotto anyu, murwe nwane ni miyo”.

30 Okathi Zebuli, mukhulupale a epooma, aiwale awe moolumo a Gayaali, mwaana a Ebedi, aahinanariwa vanceene. 31 Vano Zebuli, voohisuweliwa, aahaaruma atthu wiira yamuleele Abimeleki ariki: “Mooneke! Gayaali, mwaana a Ebedi, ni axinnawe, vano ari oSikhemi. Owo onaatumererya atthu a opooma woorukunuwelani. 32 Vano, nyuwo ni anakhotto anyu, murwe ohiyu, nto mwaipithe mmatta. 33 Nsuwa nikhumaka-ru voosiisu, nvenye ni mutuphele epooma. Okathi Gayaali ni alopwana awe anrowa aya wootuphelani, mpake itthu sootheene muniwerya* anyu wiira mmuxintte”.

34 Nto, Abimeleki ni atthu ootheene aarina awe, yaahivenya ohiyu, yiipitha oSikhemi ikurupu ixexe. 35 Okathi Gayaali, mwaana a Ebedi, aakhumenle awe ota, ni eemela vamukhora va epooma, Abimeleki ni atthu aarina awe yaahikhuma vaipinthe aya. 36 Gayaali vaawoonale awe alopwana, aahimuleela Zebuli oriki: “Mooneke! Aakhala alopwana anikhuruwa vasulu va miyaako ”. Masi Zebuli aahimuleela wiira: “Nnaari, muniweha iruku sa miyaako, ohiya alopwana”.

37 Gayaali aahithipelela oriki: “Moone! Aakhala atthu anikhuruwa akhumaka eriyari ya muttetthe, nave ekurupu emosa ya atthu enikhuma ephiro ya mwiri muulupale wa oMeyonenimi. 38 Zebuli aahimwaakhula wiira: “Moolumo anyu oowiittottopa ari woowi, vaavale mwaahimya anyu wiira: ‘Abimeleki tani, wiira nimurumeeleke?’+ Ale khahiyo atthu yaale mwaakhoottale anyu? Murowe mwawaneke ni atthu awo”.

39 Siiso, Gayaali aahivenya onaahoolela ahooleli a oSikhemi, onarowa owana ni Abimeleki. 40 Abimeleki aahimoomola Gayaali, nto Gayaali aahimutthyawa. Nave atthu anceene yaahiiviwa mphironi, mpakha vamukhora va epooma.

41 Abimeleki aahithipelela okhala wAruma, nto Zebuli+ aahimoomola Gayaali ni axinnawe oSikhemi. 42 Mmeeloni mwaya, atthu yaahirowa omatta, vano Abimeleki aahileeliwa eyo. 43 Siiso Abimeleki aahaakuxa atthu awe, aakawanya ikurupu tthaaru, owiipithela atthu mmatta. Okathi Abimeleki aawoonale awe atthu ekhumaka opooma aahaatuphela ni owiiva. 44 Abimeleki ni ikurupu saari nuuwo, yaahirowa ohoolo ni yaaheemela vamukhora va epooma. Vano, ikurupu piili saahaatuphela atthu ootheene yaari mmatta, ewiivakasa. 45 Abimeleki aahiwana ni atthu a epooma ele, nihiku nle nootheene, nto aahikuxa epooma eyo. Owo aahiwiiva atthu ootheene yaari mpooma-mme, nuumala-vo aahipwexakasa epooma ele,+ ni aahimwara-mwarya maakha.

46 Okathi ahooleli ootheene a empa yoolipihiwa ni yoorakamela osulu ya oSikhemi vaasuwenle aya eyo, vowaakuveya yaahitthyawela opuro woolipihiwa wa empa* ya Eli-Berithi.+ 47 Voohipisa, Abimeleki aahihimeeriwa wiira ahooleli ootheene a empa yoolipihiwa ni yoorakamela osulu ya oSikhemi yaahithukumana opuro omosa. 48 Vano Abimeleki ni alopwana awe ootheene, yaahiwela omwaako Salimoni. Abimeleki aahimukuxa maxatto, aahiikittha eritta ya mwiri, ni aahikapatta mmakhatani, aaleela atthu aarina awe wiira: “Mwaakuveke! Mpake etthu emosa-ru kipanke aka!” 49 Siiso alopwana ootheene yaahiikittha iritta, anamutthara Abimeleki. Moottharelana, yaahirukureriha iritta iyo opuro ole woolipihiwa, ni yaahipattiha ni mooro opuro owo. Siiso atthu ootheene yaari empa yoolipihiwa ni yoorakamela osulu ya oSikhemi yaahikhwa, alopwana ni athiyana oowiiraka 1.000.

50 Moottharelana, Abimeleki aahirowa oTebesi. Owo aahimaka wiira otuphele oTebesi, nuumala-vo aahikuxa epooma eyo. 51 Eriyari ya epooma ele, yaahikhala empa yoolipihiwa ni yoorakamela osulu, nto alopwana ootheene ni athiyana, ni ahooleli ootheene a epooma ele, yaahitthyawela memmo. Awo yaahiiwalela mpaani-mmo, awela mpakha osulu wa empa eyo. 52 Abimeleki aahirowa mpakha empa eyo yoolipihiwa ni yoorakamela osulu, wiira otuphele. Owo aahaattamela vamukhora wa empa eyo, wiira opahe ni mooro. 53 Nto muthiyana mmosa, aahimurihela Abimeleki vamuru, nluku na nxilo, omunyakatta muru.+ 54 Voowaakuveya, Abimeleki aahimwiihana mulipa aamukhaliherya oteexa ikaruma sawe sa ekhotto, omuhimeerya wiira: “Mutholole espaata* anyu, mukiive, wiira atthu ahihimyeke wiira: ‘Ola iiviwe ni muthiyana’”. Siiso, mulipa-aamukhaliherya, aahimuhoma, nto Abimeleki aahikhwa.

55 Nuumala alopwana a Isarayeli woona wiira Abimeleki aahikhwa, ootheene aya yaahitthikela owaani. 56 Siiso, Muluku aahimuliva Abimeleki mwaha wa etthu yootakhala aamwiirenle awe paapa awe, owiivaka axinnawe 70.+ 57 Nave-tho, Muluku aahaattikiherya itthu sootheene sootakhala, yaapanke aya alopwana a oSikhemi. Siiso, moolumo ootakhaliha, Yotami,+ mwaana a Yerubayali+ aalavunle awe, yaahaakhumelela atthu awo.
