1 Waliwo amawanga Mukama gaatazikiriza asobole okuyigiririzaako Abayisirayiri bonna abataamanya ntalo zonna ez’omu Kanani;
Idzi ndidzo ndudzi dzakasiyiwa naJehovha kuti aedze vaIsraeri vaya vose vakanga vasina kumboziva kana hondo ipi zvayo muKenani,
2 Kino kiyaambe Abayisirayiri ab’omulembe omuggya abatalwanangako okukuguka mu by’entalo.
(akaita izvi bedzi kuti adzidzise zvehondo kuzvizvarwa zvavaIsraeri izvo zvakanga zvisina kumborwa hondo):
3 Ge gano: Abakungu abataano ab’Abafirisuuti, Abakanani bonna, Abasidoni, n’Abakiivi abaabeeranga ku lusozi Lebanooni, okuva ku lusozi Baalukerumoni okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
vatongi vashanu vavaFiristia, vaKenani vose, vaSidhoni, uye vaHivhi vaigara mumakomo eRebhanoni kubva paGomo reBhaari Herimoni kusvikira kuRebho Hamati.
4 Era gaalekebwawo okugezesa Abayisirayiri obanga baligondera amateeka ga Mukama ge yalagira bajjajjaabwe ng’ayita mu Musa.
Vakasiyiwa kuti vaedze vaIsraeri kuti aone kana vaizoteerera mirayiro yaJehovha, yaakanga apa madzitateguru avo kubudikidza naMozisi.
5 Abayisirayiri ne babeeranga wamu n’Abakanani, Abakiiti, Abamoli, Abakiivi n’aba Yebusi.
VaIsraeri vakagara pakati pavaKenani, vaHiti, vaAmori, vaPerezi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi.
6 Ne bawasanga abawala ab’omu mawanga ago era ne bafumbizanga bawala baabwe eri abalenzi b’omu mawanga ago ne basinzanga ne bakatonda baabwe.
Vakatora vanasikana vavo kuti vave vakadzi vavo uye vakapa vanasikana vavowo kuvanakomana vavo, uye vakashumira vamwari vavo.
7 Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ne beerabira Mukama Katonda waabwe ne basinzanga Babaali ne Baasera.
VaIsraeri vakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha; vakakanganwa Jehovha Mwari wavo vakashumira vaBhaari navaAshera.
8 Noolwekyo Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Abayisirayiri, kyeyava abawaayo okuwangulwa n’okufugibwa kabaka Kusanurisasaimu ow’e Mesopotamiya okumala emyaka munaana.
Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakapisa pamusoro paIsraeri zvokuti akavatengesa mumaoko aKushani-Rishataimi mambo weAramu Naharaimu, avo vakashandirwa navaIsraeri kwamakore masere.
9 Naye Abayisirayiri bwe baalaajanira Mukama, kyeyava abawa omulwanyi omuzira okubanunula erinnya lye Osunieri azaalibwa Kenezi muto wa Kalebu.
Asi vakati vachema kuna Jehovha, akavamutsira musununguri, Otinieri mwanakomana waKenazi, mununʼuna waKarebhu, uyo akavaponesa.
10 Osunieri n’ajjula Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akulembera Abayisirayiri, n’alumba Kusanurisaseyimu kabaka w’e Mesopotamiya era n’amuwangula kubanga Mukama yamuwaayo mu mikono gya Osunieri.
Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro pake kuti ave mutongi weIsraeri uye akaenda kuhondo. Jehovha akaisa Kushani-Rishataimi mambo wavaAramu mumaoko aOtinieri, akamukunda.
11 Awo ne wayitawo emyaka ana ng’Abayisirayiri bali mu mirembe okutuusa ddala Osunieri mutabani wa Kenazi lwe yafa.
Saka nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi mana, kusvikira Otinieri mwanakomana waKenazi afa.
12 Ate era Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama; kyeyava awa Eguloni kabaka wa Mowaabu amaanyi okubawangula olw’ebibi byabwe.
VaIsraeri vakaitazve zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, uye nokuda kwokuti vakaita zvakaipa izvi, Jehovha akapa simba kuna Egironi mambo weMoabhu kuti akunde Israeri.
13 Ne yegatta n’Abamoni n’Abamaleki ne balumba Abayisirayiri era ne babawambako ekibuga kyabwe eky’enkindu.
Egironi akatora vaAmoni navaAmareki kuti vaende naye kundorwisa Israeri, uye vakatora Guta reMichindwe kuti rive ravo.
14 Abayisirayiri ne bafugibwa Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu emyaka kkumi na munaana.
VaIsraeri vakava varanda vaEgironi mambo weMoabhu kwamakore gumi namasere.
15 Naye Abayisirayiri bwe baalaajanira Mukama, kyeyava abawa omulwanyi omuzira okubanunula ayitibwa Ekudi ow’enkonokono mutabani wa Gera ow’omu kika kya Benyamini; era oyo Abayisirayiri gwe baatuma okutwala ekirabo kyabwe eri Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu.
VaIsraeri vakachemazve kuna Jehovha, iye akavapa musununguri, Ehudhi murume aiva neziboshwe, mwanakomana waGera muBhenjamini. VaIsraeri vakamutuma nomutero kuna Egironi mambo weMoabhu.
16 Ekudi ne yeewesezza ekitala ekirina obwogi erudda n’erudda nga kiweza sentimita ana mu ttaano obuwanvu. N’akyesiba ku kisambi kye ekya ddyo munda mu ngoye ze.
Zvino Ehudhi akanga aita munondo wakarodzwa kumativi ose uchikarosvika kubhiti rimwe chete pakureba kwawo waakanga akasungira pasi penguo dzake pachidya chake chokurudyi.
17 N’atwalira Egulooni kabaka wa Mowaabu ekirabo. Egulooni yali musajja munene nnyo.
Akapa mutero kuna Egironi mambo weMoabhu, murume akanga akafuta kwazvo.
18 Awo bwe yamala okuwaayo ekirabo, n’agobawo abajja bakyetisse.
Mushure mokunge Ehudhi apa mutero, akati vanhu vakanga vauya vakatakura mutero wacho vaende.
19 Ekudi n’akoma awaali amayinja amoole kumpi ne Girugaali n’addayo eri Egulooni n’amugamba nti, “Nnina obubaka obw’ekyama gy’oli.” Kabaka n’agobawo bonna be yali nabo era ne bamuviira.
Pazvifananidzo zvaiva pedyo neGirigari iye pachake akadzoka akati, “Ndine shoko renyu rakavanzika, imi mambo.” Mambo akati, “Nyararai!” uye varanda vake vose vakamusiya.
20 Awo kabaka bwe yali ng’atudde bw’omu mu nnyumba ye, mu kisenge ekya waggulu ekiweweevu, Ekudi n’amusemberera era n’amugamba nti, “Nnina obubaka obuva eri Katonda gy’oli.” Kabaka n’asituka mu ntebe ye.
Ipapo Ehudhi akaswedera kwaari iye agere ari oga muimba yake yapamusoro yomuzinda wake wenguva yezhizha akati, “Ndine shoko renyu rabva kuna Mwari,” Mambo akati achisimuka achibva pachigaro chake,
21 Ekudi n’asowolayo ekitala kye n’omukono ogwa kkono ng’akiggya ku kisambi kye ekya ddyo n’akisogga kabaka mu lubuto;
Ehudhi akatambanudza ruoko rwake rworuboshwe, akavhomora munondo kubva pachidya chake chokurudyi akaunyudza mudumbu ramambo.
22 ekitala kyonna n’ekiti kyakyo ne kimubuliramu, amasavu ne gakibuutikira era n’atayinza na kukisowolamu. Ebyenda bya kabaka ne biyiika.
Kunyange chibato chomunondo chakanyura chichitevera chese, ukandobuda nokumusana kwake. Ehudhi haana kuvhomora munondo, uye mafuta akaputira pamusoro pawo.
23 Ekudi n’asibawo oluggi oluyingira mu kisenge ekya waggulu, n’afulumira mu mulyango ogw’emanju.
Ipapo Ehudhi akabuda akaenda kubiravira; akapfiga mikova yeimba yapamusoro shure kwake akaikiya.
24 Bwe yali nga yakafuluma abaweereza ba kabaka ne bajja. Bwe baalaba nga enzigi nsibe ne balowooza nti, “Kabaka ateekwa okuba ng’agenze manju.”
Mushure mokuenda kwake, varanda vakasvika vakawana mikova yeimba yapamusoro yakiyiwa. Ivo vakati, “Anofanira kunge achimbozvizorodza zvake ari mukamuri romukati reimba.”
25 Bwe baakoowa okulindirira ne baddira ekisumuluzo ne basumululawo, baagenda okulaba ng’omulambo gwa mukama waabwe gugudde bugazi mu kisenge.
Vakarindira kusvikira vanyadziswa nazvo asi paakarega kuzarura mikova yekamuri, vakatora kiyi vakaikiyinura. Onei ipapo ishe wavo akawira pasi, afa.
26 Mu kiseera kye baamala nga balindirira kabaka okuggulawo Ekudi mwe yaddukira n’ayita ku mayinja amoole n’atuuka e Seyiri.
Vachakamirira, Ehudhi akaenda. Akapfuura napazvifananidzo akapunyuka akaenda kuSeira.
27 Bwe yatuuka mu kitundu eky’ensozi ekya Efulayimu n’akiyitamu nga bw’afuuwa ekkondeere, Abayisirayiri ne bamwegattako ye nga abakulembeddemu.
Akati asvika ikoko, akaridza hwamanda ari munyika yezvikomo yaEfuremu, uye vaIsraeri vakaburuka naye vachibva kuzvikomo, iye achivatungamirira.
28 N’abagamba nti, “Mungoberere kubanga Mukama abawadde obuwanguzi ku balabe bammwe Abamowaabu.” Ne bamugoberera ne bawamba ekifo awasomokerwa ekyali kyolekedde aba Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani; Abayisirayiri ne bataganya muntu yenna kusomoka.
Akati kwavari, “Nditeverei, nokuti Jehovha aisa Moabhu muvengi wenyu, mumaoko enyu.” Saka vakaburuka vakamutevera, uye vakatora mazambuko eJorodhani okuenda kuMoabhu, vakasatendera munhu kuyambuka.
29 Ne batta ku basajja abalwanyi abazira aba Mowaabu mutwalo mulamba; teri n’omu ku bo yasimattuka.
Panguva iyoyo vakauraya zviuru zvinenge gumi zvavaMoabhu, vose vakanga vakagwinya uye vane simba; hapana akapunyuka.
30 Bwe batyo Abayisirayiri ne bajeemulula Abamowaabu ku lunaku olwo. Okuva ku olwo ensi n’ebaamu emirembe okumala emyaka kinaana.
Zuva iroro Moabhu yakava pasi peIsraeri, uye nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi masere.
31 Omukulembeze eyaddira Ekudi mu bigere ye Samugali mutabani wa Anasi era naye yanunula Abayisirayiri. Ye wuuyo eyatta abasajja Abafirisuuti lukaaga nga yeeyambisa omuwunda gwe bagobesa ente nga zirima.
Shure kwaEhudhi kwakauya Shamuga mwanakomana waAnati, uyo akauraya vaFiristia mazana matanhatu norutanda rwokubaya narwo mombe. Naiyewo akaponesa Israeri.
