¹⁶Ipapo akatora vakuru veguta, nemhinzwa yomurenje norukato, akapura varume veSukoti nazvo.

¹⁶Markaasuu kaxaystay odayaashii magaalada, oo wuxuu qaaday qodxantii cidlada iyo gocondho, wuuna ku edbiyey dadkii reer Sukod.

¹⁸Kolkaasuu Sebah iyo Salmunnac ku yidhi, Raggii aad Taaboor ku layseen siday ahaayeen? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Waxay ahaayeen sidaadoo kale; oo mid waluba wuxuu u ekaa ilmo boqor oo kale.

¹⁹Akati, Vakanga vari vanin'ina vangu, vanakomana vamai vangu; naJehovha mupenyu, dai makavarega vari vapenyu, ndingadai ndisina kukuurayai imwi.

²⁰Zvino akati kuna Jeteri, dangwe rake, Simuka, uvauraye. Asi jaya harina kuvhomora munondo waro, nekuti rakatya, zvarakanga richiri mukomana.

²⁰Markaasuu curadkiisii Yeter ku yidhi, Kac oo laa iyaga. Laakiinse wiilkii seeftiisii lama uu soo bixin; maxaa yeelay, wuu baqay, waayo, weli wuu yaraa.

²¹Markaasaa Sebah iyo Salmunnac waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War adigu kac oo na laa; waayo, nin waluba siduu yahay ayaa xooggiisuna yahay. Markaasaa Gidcoon kacay oo laayay Sebah iyo Salmunnac, oo wuxuu qaatay bilihii ku xidhnaa qoorta awrtooda.

²²Zvino varume vaIsiraeri vakati kuna Gidheoni, Mutibate ushe imwi nomwanakomana wenyu, nomwanakomana womwanakomana wenyuwo, nekuti makatiponesa pamaoko avaMidhiani.

²²Markaasaa dadkii reer binu Israa'iil waxay Gidcoon ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba noo tali, adiga iyo wiilkaaga, iyo wiilkaaga wiilkiisuba; maxaa yeelay, waad naga badbaadisay gacantii reer Midyaan.

²³Gidheoni akati kwavari, Ini handingakubatiyi ushe, kunyange mwanakomana wangu haangakubatiyi ushe; Jehovha ndiye uchakubatai.

²³Kolkaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu idiinma talin doono, wiilkayguna idiinma talin doono; laakiinse Rabbigaa idiin talin doona.

²⁴Gidheoni akati kwavari, Ndinoda kukumbira chinhu chimwe kwamuri: Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaandipe zvindori zvemhino zviri pakati pezvakapambwa zvake. (Nokuti vakanga vane zvindori zvemhino zvendarama, nekuti vakanga vari vaIshimaeri.)

²⁴Oo haddana Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan idin weyddiisan lahaa in ninkiin waluba i siiyo hilqadihii uu boolida u helay. (Waxay haysteen hilqado dahab ah, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen reer Ismaaciil).

²⁵Vakapindura vakati, Tichakupai izvo nomoyo wose! Ipapo vakawarira nguvo, mumwe nomumwe akakandirapo zvindori zvemhino, zvakanga zviri pakati pezvakapambwa zvavo.

²⁷Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu dahabkii ka sameeyey eefod, oo wuxuu dhigay magaaladiisii taasoo ahayd Coofraah; oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada raaceen sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday, markaasuu dabin ku noqday Gidcoon iyo reerkiisiiba.

²⁸Saizvozvo vaMidhiani vakakundwa pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri, havana kuzosimudzazve misoro yavo. Nyika ikazorora makore ana makumi mana pamazuva aGidheoni.
