¹⁶And Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sephar, and hath captured it — I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.`

¹⁷Ipapo Otinieri, mwanakomana waKenazi, munin'ina waKarebhu, akarikunda; iye akamupa mukunda wake Akisa, akava mukadzi wake.

¹⁸And it cometh to pass, in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father a field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, `What — to thee?`

¹⁹Akati, Ndipei chipo; zvamakandiisa kunyika yezasi, ndipeiwo matsime emvura. Akamupa matsime okumusoro namatsime ezasi.
