Ŵeruzgi 12:1-15
12 Sonu anthulumi a ku Efurayemu angudanika ndipu anguyambukiya ku Zafoni.* Yiwu angukambiya Yefita kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli unguleka kutidana kuti tiluti nawi pa nyengu yo unguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Aamoni?+ Sonu tiwotchengi nyumba yaku yiwi we mukati.”
2 Kweni Yefita wanguŵamuka kuti: “Ini limoza ndi ŵanthu ŵangu, tingulimbana nawu ukongwa Aamoni. Ndingukudanani kuti muzindiwovyi, kweni yimwi munguza cha kuti muzinditaski mu manja mwawu.
3 Ndati ndawona kuti munditaskengi cha, ndinguŵika umoyu wangu pa ngozi,* ndinguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi Aamoni,+ ndipu Yehova wanguŵapereka mu manja mwangu. Sonu ntchifukwa wuli yimwi mwaza msanawale kuti muzilimbani nani?”
4 Yefita wanguwunganisa anthulumi a ku Giliyadi,+ ndipu wanguchita nkhondu ndi Efurayemu; anthulumi a ku Giliyadi anguthereska Efurayemu yo wakambanga kuti: “Yimwi Agiliyadi, chinanga kuti muja muchigaŵa chaku Efurayemu ndipuso Manasi, kweni mukuthaŵa kutuwa mwaku Efurayemu.”
5 Ŵanthu a ku Giliyadi angukhaza Efurayemu pamalu ngakuyambukiya Yorodani,+ ndipu asani anthulumi a ku Efurayemu akhumba kuthaŵa akambanga kuti, “Ndizomerezeni kuti ndiyambuki”; ndipu anthulumi a ku Giliyadi afumbanga weyosi kuti, “Kumbi ndiwi wa ku Efurayemu?” asani iyu wamuka kuti, “Awa!”
6 amukambiyanga kuti, “Kamba kuti Shiboleti.” Kweni iyu wakambanga kuti, “Siboleti,” chifukwa watondekanga kuzumbuwa umampha mazu yanga. Pavuli paki, yiwu amukonga ndi kumubaya pamalu ngakuyambukiya Yorodani. Mwaviyo, anthulumi 42,000 a ku Efurayemu angubayika pa nyengu yeniyi.
7 Yefita wanguyeruzga Ayisirayeli kwa vyaka 6. Pavuli paki Yefita wa ku Giliyadi wangufwa, ndipu angumuŵika mutawuni yaki ku Giliyadi.
8 Yefita wati wafwa, Ibizani wa ku Betelehemu ndiyu wayeruzganga Ayisirayeli.+
9 Iyu wenga ndi ŵana anthulumi 30 kweniso ŵana anthukazi 30. Wangutuma ŵana ŵaki anthukazi kuti akatorani ndi anthulumi akubwalu kwa fuku laki, ndipuso wanguto anthukazi 30 akubwalu kwa fuku laki kuti atorani ndi ŵana ŵaki anthulumi. Iyu wanguyeruzga Ayisirayeli kwa vyaka 7.
10 Pavuli paki, Ibizani wangufwa ndipu angumuŵika ku Betelehemu.
11 Ibizani wati wafwa, Eloni wa mu fuku laku Zebuloni ndiyu wayeruzganga Ayisirayeli; iyu wanguyeruzga Ayisirayeli kwa vyaka 10.
12 Pavuli paki, Eloni wa mu fuku laku Zebuloni wangufwa ndipu angumuŵika ku Aijaloni mucharu cha Zebuloni.
13 Eloni wati wafwa, Abidoni mwana waku Hileli wa ku Piratoni ndiyu wayeruzganga Ayisirayeli.
14 Iyu wenga ndi ŵana anthulumi 40, kweniso azuku anthulumi 30, wo akweranga pa abulu 70. Abidoni wanguyeruzga Ayisirayeli kwa vyaka 8.
15 Pavuli paki, Abidoni mwana waku Hileli wa ku Piratoni, wangufwa ndipu angumuŵika ku Piratoni mucharu cha Efurayemu, muphiri la Aamaleki.+
