Ana Beseki kumapi Adoni-Bezekina ke'za erifore hu'za, agri'ene Kenani vahe'ene Perisi vahe'enena hara huzmagatere'naze.

6 Adoni-Bezekiyo anathawa, koma anamuthamangira ndi kumupeza, namugwira. Atamugwira anamudula zala zake zazikulu za ku manja ndi miyendo.

Anagema higeno'a, Kalepi negna Kenazi nemofo Otnieli ana vahera ha'huzmanteno ana kumara erigeno, Kalepi'a mofa'a Aksana amigeno Otnieli'a ara erinte'ne.

14 Tsiku lina atafika Akisayo, Otanieli anamuwumiriza mkazi wakeyo kuti apemphe munda kwa Kalebe abambo ake. Pamene Akisa anatsika pa bulu wake, Kalebe anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukufuna ndikuchitire chiyani?”

Hagi Aksa'ma Otnielinte'ma ne-eno'a amanage huno asami'ne, nenfa Kalepina antahigegeno mopa kamino huno hu'ne. Hagi Aksama donki agumpinti'ma taka'uma neregeno'a, Kalepi'a amanage huno antahige'ne, na'anku kave'nesie?

15 Iye anayankha kuti, “Mundikomere mtima. Popeza mwandipatsa ku Negevi, kumalo kumene kulibe madzi, mundipatsenso akasupe amadzi.” Choncho Kalebe anamupatsa akasupe a kumtunda ndi a kumunsi.

Higeno Aksa'a kenona amanage hu'ne, asomu hunantenka Negevi mopa ko nami'nananki, kampu'i tima nehanatia tintaminena musezana namio, higeno Kalepi'a anagamu kaziga me'nea kampui tine, fenkma kaziga me'nea kampu'i tinena ami'ne.
