and to come (in): come house: home father his Ophrah [to] and to kill [obj] brother: male-sibling his son: child Jerubbaal (seventy *L(abh)*) man upon stone one and to remain Jotham son: child Jerubbaal [the] small: young for to hide

7 Yotamu alipoambiwa juu ya jambo hilo, akaenda, akasimama juu ya Mlima Gerizimu. Alipiga kelele akawaambia, 'Sikilizeni, enyi viongozi wa Shekemu, ili Mungu awasikilize.

to go: went to go: went [the] tree to/for to anoint upon them king and to say to/for olive (to reign [emph?] *Q(k)*) upon us
9 Lakini mti wa mizeituni ukawaambia, Je! Nitaacha mafuta yangu, ambayo hutumiwa kuheshimu miungu na wanadamu, ili nipate kurudi na kuvuka juu ya miti mingine?
and to say to/for them [the] olive to cease [obj] ashes my which in/on/with me to honor: honour God and human and to go: went to/for to shake upon [the] tree

and to say to/for them [the] vine to cease [obj] new wine my [the] to rejoice God and human and to go: went to/for to shake upon [the] tree
14 Kisha miti yote ikawaambia mchanga, 'Njoo utawale juu yetu.'
and to say all [the] tree to(wards) [the] bramble to go: come! you(m. s.) to reign upon us
15 Miti ya miiba ikaiambia miti, 'Ikiwa unataka kunipaka mafuta niwe mfalme juu yako, njoo na upate usalama chini ya kivuli changu. Ikiwa sivyo, basi moto lazima uondoke kwenye mchanga na uiteketeze mierezi ya Lebanoni. '

16 Basi, ikiwa umefanya kweli na uaminifu, ulimfanya Abimeleki mfalme, na ikiwa umefanya vizuri juu ya Yerubaali na nyumba yake, na ikiwa umemuadhibu kama anavyostahili,
and now if in/on/with truth: faithful and in/on/with unblemished: blameless to make: do and to reign [obj] Abimelech and if good to make: do with Jerubbaal and with house: household his and if like/as recompense hand: themselves his to make: do to/for him

18 lakini leo umeamka juu ya nyumba ya baba yangu na kuwaua watoto wake, watu sabini, juu ya jiwe moja. Na umemfanya Abimeleki, mwana wa mtumishi wake, awe mfalme juu ya wakuu wa Shekemu, kwa sababu yeye ni ndugu yenu.
and you(m. p.) to arise: attack upon house: household father my [the] day: today and to kill [obj] son: child his seventy man upon stone one and to reign [obj] Abimelech son: child maidservant his upon master Shechem for brother: male-relative your he/she/it
19 Ikiwa mlifanya kwa uaminifu na uelekevu pamoja na Jerubalai na nyumba yake, basi mnapaswa kufurahi katika Abimeleki, naye apate kufurahi ndani yenu.
and if in/on/with truth: faithful and in/on/with unblemished: blameless to make: do with Jerubbaal and with house: household his [the] day: today [the] this to rejoice in/on/with Abimelech and to rejoice also he/she/it in/on/with you
20 Lakini ikiwa sio, moto utoke kwa Abimeleki, ukawaangamize watu wa Shekemu na Beth Milo. Basi moto utoke kwa watu wa Shekemu na Beth Milo, ili kumteketeza Abimeleki.
and if nothing to come out: issue fire from Abimelech and to eat [obj] master Shechem and [obj] Beth-millo Beth-millo and to come out: issue fire from master Shechem and from Beth-millo Beth-millo and to eat [obj] Abimelech

and to send: depart God spirit bad: evil between Abimelech and between master Shechem and to act treacherously master Shechem in/on/with Abimelech
24 Mungu alifanya hivyo ili uhalifu uliofanywa kwa wana sabini wa Yerubaali uweze kulipizwa kisasi, na Abimeleki ndugu yao atawajibishwa kwa kuwaua, na watu wa Shekemu watawajibishwa kwa sababu walimsaidia kuua ndugu zake.

and to tell to/for Abimelech for to gather all master tower Shechem
48 Abimeleki akaenda mpaka mlima wa Salmoni, yeye na watu wote waliokuwa pamoja naye. Abimeleki akachukua shoka na kukata matawi. Akaweka juu ya bega lake na kuwaagiza watu waliokuwa pamoja naye, 'Mlichoona nimekifanya fanyeni kama nilivyofanya.'
