¹Zvino Dhina mwanasikana waRea, waakaberekera Jakove, aka­buda kunoona vakunda venyika iyoyo.

¹Oo Diinah oo ahayd gabadhii Lee'ah ay Yacquub u dhashay ayaa dibadda u baxday inay soo aragto gabdhihii dalka.

²Uye Shekemu mwanakomana waHa­mori muHivhi, muchinda wenyika, wakamuona; akamutora, akarara naye, akamufumura.

²Markaasuu Shekem ina Xamoor kii reer Xiwi oo ahaa amiirkii dalka arkay iyadii, oo uu kaxaystay oo la jiifsaday, wuuna ceebeeyey iyadii.

³Mweya wake ndokunamatira panaDhina, mukunda waJakove, ndokuda musikana, akataura kumoyo wemusikana.

³Naftiisiina way raacday gabadhii Yacquub oo Diinah ahayd, wuuna jeclaaday gabadhii, si raxmad lehna wuu ula hadlay gabadhii.

⁴Zvino Shekemu ndokutaura kuna baba vake Hamori achiti: Ndi­torerei musikana uyo ave mukadzi wa­ngu.

⁴Markaasuu Shekem la hadlay aabbihiis Xamoor, oo yidhi, Gabadhan ii doon aan guursadee.

⁵Zvino Jakove wakanzwa kuti akasvibisa Dhina mukunda wake; zvino vanakomana vake vakange vari kuzvipfuwo zvake kusango, Jakove ndokunyarara kusvikira vauya.

⁵Haddaba Yacquub waa maqlay in Shekem gabadhiisii Diinah nijaaseeyey; wiilashiisiina duurka ayay xoolihiisa la joogeen; Yacquubna wuu iska aamusay ilaa ay yimaadeen.

⁶Hamori baba vaShe­kemu vakabuda vakaenda kuna Jakove kunotau­rirana naye.

⁶Markaasaa Xamoor oo Shekem aabbihiis ahaa Yacquub ugu tegey inuu la hadlo isaga.

⁷Vakati vachinzwa izvozvo vanakomana vaJakove vakauya vachi­bva kusango; zvino varume ava vakazarirwa kwazvo, vakatsamwa zvi­kuru nekuti wakange aita upenzi pakati pevaIsiraeri nekurara nemukunda waJakove; chinhu chisingafaniri kuitwa saizvozvo.

⁷Oo wiilashii Yacquub ayaa duurka ka yimid markay taas maqleen; nimankiina way caloolxumaayeen, aad bayna u cadhaysnaayeen, maxaa yeelay, nacasnimo buu ku sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil markuu la jiifsaday gabadhii Yacquub, taas oo aanay jid ahayn in la sameeyo.

⁸Zvino Ha­mori wakataurirana navo achiti: Shekemu mwanakomana wangu, moyo wake unodokwairira mukunda wenyu; domupai he­nyu iye ave mukadzi wake.

⁸Xamoorna wuu la hadlay iyagii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygii Shekem naftiisii aad bay u doonaysaa gabadhaada; haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, iyada sii ha guursadee.

⁹Uye waniranai nesu, tipei vakunda venyu, mugozvitorera vakunda vedu.

⁹Oo aan iska guursanno, gabdhihiinna na siiya annaga, idinkuna gabdhahayaga guursada.

¹⁰Uye garai henyu nesu, nyika ichava pamberi penyu; garai mutengeserane, mupfuwe mairi.

¹⁰Oo waad nala degganaan doontaan; dalkuna hortiinnuu oolli doonaa; degganaada oo ku baayacmushtara dhexdiisa, oo xoolo ku yeesha.

¹¹Shekemu ndokuti kuna baba vemusikana nekuhanzvadzi dzake, Ngandiwane nyasha pameso enyu; uye chamuchareva kwandiri, ndichakupai.

¹¹Shekemna wuxuu aabbeheed iyo walaalaheed ku yidhi, Raalli iga ahaada, oo anna wixii aad i weyddiisataan waan idin siin.

¹²Pamhidzirai zvikuru kwandiri roora nechipo; uye ndichapa sezvamuchareva kwandiri; asi ndipei musikana ave mukadzi wangu.

¹²In alla intii aad meher iyo yarad doonaysaan i weyddiista, oo anna waan idin siin intii aad igu tidhaahdaan, laakiinse gabadha i siiya aan guursadee.

¹³Vanakomana vaJakove ndokupi­ndura Shekemu naHamori baba vake, neunyengeri, vakati, nekuti wakasvibisa hanzvadzi yavo Dhina,

¹³Wiilashii Yacquubna khiyaanay ugu jawaabeen Shekem iyo aabbihiis Xamoor, wayna la hadleen, maxaa yeelay, walaashood Diinah ayuu nijaaseeyey,

¹⁴ndokuti kwavari: Hatingagoni kuita chinhu ichi, kupa hanzvadzi yedu munhu une ganda repamberi, nekuti chinyadzo kwatiri.

¹⁴oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ma yeeli karno inaan walaashayo siinno nin buuryoqab ah; waayo, taasu ceeb bay nagu ahaan lahayd.

¹⁵Asi nechinhu ichi tingatenderana nemwi, kana mukava sesu, kuti murume umwe neumwe wekwenyu adzingiswe,

¹⁵Si uun baannu idinku yeeli karnaa; taasuna waa haddii aad intiinna ragga ah oo dhan iswada guddaan, oo aad noqotaan sidayada oo kale;

¹⁶zvino ticha­kupai vakunda vedu, nesu vakunda venyu tizvitorere; uye tichagara nemwi tive rudzi rumwe.

¹⁶markaasaannu gabdhahayaga idin siin doonnaa, oo annaguna waxaan guursan doonnaa gabdhihiinna, oo waannu idinla degganaan doonnaa, oo waxaynu noqon doonnaa isku dad.

¹⁷Asi kana musingatitereri mukadzingiswa, tichatora mukunda wedu tiende.

¹⁷Laakiinse haddaydnan na maqlin, inaad isguddaan, de markaas gabadhayada waannu wadan, oo waannu tegi.

¹⁸Mashoko avo akava akanaka pameso aHamori, nepameso aShekemu, mwanakomana waHamori.

¹⁸Hadalkoodiina waa ka farxiyey Xamoor, iyo wiilkiisii Shekem.

¹⁹Jaya harina kunonoka kuita chinhu ichi, nekuti waifarira muku­nda waJakove; uye waiku­dzwa kupfuura imba yose yababa vake.

¹⁹Ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana dib uma uu dhigin inuu taas yeelo, maxaa yeelay, aad buu ugu faraxsanaa Yacquub gabadhiisii, Isna wuu ka wada maamuus badnaa intii guriga aabbihiis joogtay oo dhan.

²⁰Zvino Hamori wakasvika, naShekemu mwa­nakomana wake, kusuwo reguta ravo, ndokutaurirana nevanhu veguta ravo vachiti:

²⁰Markaasay Xamoor iyo wiilkiisii Shekem magaaladoodii iriddeeda yimaadeen, oo ay raggii magaaladooda la hadleen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen,

²¹Varume ava vane rugare nesu; naizvozvo ngavagare munyika, vagotengeseranamo; nekuti nyika, tarirai, yakafara pamberi pavo; vakunda vavo tichavatora vave vakadzi vedu, nevakunda vedu tichavapa ivo.

²¹Nimankanu waa inala nabad, sidaas daraaddeed dhulka ha degeen, oo ha ka baayacmushtareen dhexdiisa, maxaa yeelay, bal eega, dhulku waa weyn yahay oo waa ku wada filan yahay. Aynu gabdhahooda guursanno, oo innana aan gabdhaheenna siinno iyaga.

²²Asi pachinhu ichi chete varume vachatenderana nesu, kugara nesu, nekuva serudzi ru­mwe, kuti murume wose wedu adzingiswa, sezvavakadzingiswa ivo.

²²Nimanku si uun bay inagu yeelayaan inay inala degganaadaan si aynu isku dad u noqonno, taasuna waa haddii inteenna lab oo dhan loo gudo sida ay iyagu u gudan yihiin.

²³Ko mo­mbe dzavo, nenhumbi dzavo, nezvipfuwo zvavo zvose hazvichavi zvedu here? Ngatitenderane navo koga, vagogara nesu.

²³Oo miyaan lo'dooda iyo alaabadooda iyo xayawaankooda oo dhammu noqon doonin kuweenna? Bal aynu yeelno uun, oo iyaguna way inala degganaan doonaan.

²⁴Zvino vakateerera Hamori naShe­kemu mwanakomana wake, vose vaibuda pasuwo reguta rake, ndokudzingiswa, murume umwe neumwe, vose vaibuda pasuwo reguta rake.

²⁴Markaasaa in alla intii ka baxday magaaladiisa iriddeeda waxay maqleen Xamoor iyo wiilkiisii Shekem; markaasaa la wada guday intii labka ahayd oo magaaladiisa ka baxday oo dhan.

²⁵Zvino zvakaitika nezuva retatu vachiri paku­rwadziwa, vanakomana vaviri vaJako­bho, Simioni naRevhi, hanzvadzi dzaDhina, vakatora umwe neumwe munondo wake, vakanyangira guta, ndokuuraya varume vose.

²⁵Oo maalintii saddexaad, markay dhaawaca wada ahaayeen, waxay noqotay in laba ka mid ahaa wiilashii Yacquub oo ahaa Simecoon iyo Laawi, Diinah walaalaheed, uu midkood kastaa seeftiisii qaatay, oo waxay yimaadeen magaaladii, iyagoo aan la ogayn, waxayna wada laayeen intii labka ahayd oo dhan.

²⁶Ndokuuraya Hamori naShekemu mwanakomana wake, nekwakapinza kwemunondo, vakabudisa Dhina mumba maShekemu, va­kabuda.

²⁶Xamoor iyo wiilkiisii Shekemna waxay ku dileen seef afkeed, Diinahna way kala baxeen gurigii Shekem, wayna iska tageen.

²⁷Vanakomana vaJakove vakauya pamusoro pevakauraiwa, vakapamba guta, nekuti vakange vasvibisa hanzvadzi yavo.

²⁷Wiilashii Yacquubna waxay yimaadeen raqdii kuwii la laayay, oo magaaladiina way dhaceen, maxaa yeelay, walaashood bay ka nijaaseeyeen.

²⁸Vakatora makwai avo nemombe dzavo nemadhongi avo nezvaiva muguta nezvaiva kusango;

²⁸Waxayna la tageen adhigoodii iyo lo'doodii iyo dameerradoodii, iyo wax alla wixii magaalada u yiil, iyo wax alla wixii duurka u joogay,

²⁹nefuma yavo yose, nevana vavo vaduku vose, nevakadzi vavo vakavatapa vakapamba, nezvinhu zvose zvaiva mudzimba.

²⁹iyo maalkoodii oo dhan, iyo dhallaankoodii oo dhan, iyo naagahoodiiba, way qabsadeen oo way dhaceen, xataa wixii guryaha yiil oo dhan.

³⁰Jakove ndokuti kuna Simioni naRevhi: Manditambudza, nekundinhuwisa pakati pevagari vemunyika ino, pakati pevaKanani nevaPerezi; ini ndiri mushoma pauwandu, vachandiunganira, vagondirova; ndichaparara ini neimba yangu.

³⁰Yacquubna wuxuu Simecoon iyo Laawi ku yidhi, Dhib baad igu riddeen, maxaa yeelay, waxaad i nacsiiseen dadka dhulka deggan, oo ah reer Kancaan, iyo reer Feris. Haddaba anigoo dadkaygu yar yahay, ayay isu kay wada urursan doonaan oo ay i dili doonaan; markaasna aniga iyo reerkaygaba waa la baabbi'in doonaa.Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, De miyey ku habboonayd inuu walaashayo sidii dhillo ula macaamiloodo?
