No rĩrĩa maarĩrĩire Jehova, akĩmaarahũrĩra mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu ũrĩa mũnini, nake akĩmahonokia.
10 Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro pake kuti ave mutongi weIsraeri uye akaenda kuhondo. Jehovha akaisa Kushani-Rishataimi mambo wavaAramu mumaoko aOtinieri, akamukunda.
Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake, agĩtuĩka mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri wa Isiraeli na agĩthiĩ ita-inĩ. Nake Jehova akĩneana Kushani-Rishathaimu mũthamaki wa Aramu moko-inĩ ma Othinieli, nake akĩmũtooria.

Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtuĩka ndungata cia Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana.
15 VaIsraeri vakachemazve kuna Jehovha, iye akavapa musununguri, Ehudhi murume aiva neziboshwe, mwanakomana waGera muBhenjamini. VaIsraeri vakamutuma nomutero kuna Egironi mambo weMoabhu.
O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩrĩrĩra Jehova, nake akĩmahe mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Ehudu, warĩ wa kĩmotho; mũrũ wa Gera ũrĩa Mũbenjamini. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũtũma na irĩhi rĩa igooti kũrĩ Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi.
16 Zvino Ehudhi akanga aita munondo wakarodzwa kumativi ose uchikarosvika kubhiti rimwe chete pakureba kwawo waakanga akasungira pasi penguo dzake pachidya chake chokurudyi.
Na rĩrĩ, Ehudu nĩathondekete rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ, ta rwa buti ĩmwe na nuthu kũraiha rũrĩa oohereire njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo nguo-inĩ thĩinĩ.

Nake agĩtwarĩra Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi igooti, na rĩrĩ, Egiloni aarĩ mũndũ mũnoru mũno.
18 Mushure mokunge Ehudhi apa mutero, akati vanhu vakanga vauya vakatakura mutero wacho vaende.
Thuutha wa Ehudu kũmũnengera igooti, akiumagaria andũ arĩa maarĩkuuĩte, magĩthiĩ.
19 Pazvifananidzo zvaiva pedyo neGirigari iye pachake akadzoka akati, “Ndine shoko renyu rakavanzika, imi mambo.” Mambo akati, “Nyararai!” uye varanda vake vose vakamusiya.
Nowe mwene aakinya mĩhianano-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ hakuhĩ na Giligali, akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku ya hitho.” Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kirai!” Nao arĩa othe maamũtungatagĩra makĩehera harĩ we.
20 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,
Nake Ehudu akĩmũkuhĩrĩria rĩrĩa aikarĩte arĩ o wiki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki ya igũrũ, ĩrĩa aikaraga hĩndĩ ya riũa. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku kuuma kũrĩ Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki ookagĩra kuuma gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa aikarĩire,
21 Ehudhi akatambanudza ruoko rwake rworuboshwe, akavhomora munondo kubva pachidya chake chokurudyi akaunyudza mudumbu ramambo.
Ehudu agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kwa ũmotho, akĩruta rũhiũ rwa njora kuuma njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo, agĩtheeca mũthamaki ũcio nda.
22 Kunyange chibato chomunondo chakanyura chichitevera chese, ukandobuda nokumusana kwake. Ehudhi haana kuvhomora munondo, uye mafuta akaputira pamusoro pawo.
O na mũtĩ waruo ũgĩtoonya na rũhiũ rũkiumanĩra na thuutha. Ehudu ndaacomorire rũhiũ, namo maguta makĩrũhumbĩra.
23 Ipapo Ehudhi akabuda akaenda kubiravira; akapfiga mikova yeimba yapamusoro shure kwake akaikiya.
Ningĩ Ehudu agĩthiĩ gĩthaku-inĩ, akĩhinga mĩrango ya nyũmba ĩyo ya igũrũ, akĩmũhingĩrĩria kuo.
24 Mushure mokuenda kwake, varanda vakasvika vakawana mikova yeimba yapamusoro yakiyiwa. Ivo vakati, “Anofanira kunge achimbozvizorodza zvake ari mukamuri romukati reimba.”
Ehudu aarĩkia gũthiĩ, ndungata cia mũthamaki igĩũka igĩkora mĩrango ya nyũmba ya igũrũ ĩrĩ mĩhinge, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “No nginya akorwo nĩ gwĩteithia areteithia kanyũmba-inĩ ka na thĩinĩ.”
25 Vakarindira kusvikira vanyadziswa nazvo asi paakarega kuzarura mikova yekamuri, vakatora kiyi vakaikiyinura. Onei ipapo ishe wavo akawira pasi, afa.
Nacio igĩeterera o nginya igĩconoka, no rĩrĩa aagire kũhingũra mĩrango ya nyũmba, ikĩoya hingũro ikĩhingũra mĩrango. Na hau ikĩona mũnene wao agũĩte thĩ arĩ mũkuũ.
26 Vachakamirira, Ehudhi akaenda. Akapfuura napazvifananidzo akapunyuka akaenda kuSeira.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo cietereire ihingũrĩrwo-rĩ, Ehudu akĩĩyũrĩra. Akĩhĩtũkĩra mĩhianano-inĩ akĩũrĩra Seira.
27 Akati asvika ikoko, akaridza hwamanda ari munyika yezvikomo yaEfuremu, uye vaIsraeri vakaburuka naye vachibva kuzvikomo, iye achivatungamirira.
Aakinya kuo akĩhuha karumbeta kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩikũrũkania nake moimĩte irĩma-inĩ, amatongoretie.
28 Akati kwavari, “Nditeverei, nokuti Jehovha aisa Moabhu muvengi wenyu, mumaoko enyu.” Saka vakaburuka vakamutevera, uye vakatora mazambuko eJorodhani okuenda kuMoabhu, vakasatendera munhu kuyambuka.
Akĩmaatha atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩrai, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaneanĩte Moabi thũ yanyu moko-inĩ manyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikũrũka makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩnyiita mariũko ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani marĩa maaringagĩrĩra bũrũri wa Moabi, na matiigana gwĩtĩkĩria mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ aringe rũũĩ rũu.
29 Panguva iyoyo vakauraya zviuru zvinenge gumi zvavaMoabhu, vose vakanga vakagwinya uye vane simba; hapana akapunyuka.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩũraga andũ ta 10,000 a Moabi, na othe maarĩ andũ njamba na maarĩ na hinya; na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wahonokire.
30 Zuva iroro Moabhu yakava pasi peIsraeri, uye nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi masere.
Mũthenya ũcio andũ a Moabi magĩtuĩka ndungata cia andũ a Isiraeli, naguo bũrũri ũgĩkorwo na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana.
31 Shure kwaEhudhi kwakauya Shamuga mwanakomana waAnati, uyo akauraya vaFiristia mazana matanhatu norutanda rwokubaya narwo mombe. Naiyewo akaponesa Israeri.
Thuutha wa Ehudu hagĩũka mũndũ wetagwo Shamigari mũrũ wa Anathu, ũrĩa woragire Afilisti magana matandatũ na mũcengi ũrĩa ũtindĩkaga ndegwa. O nake akĩhonokia andũ a Isiraeli.
