1 Ndakabona mu luboko gwe luji gwa iye ugele mu tjigalo tje bushe, lukwalo gwakakwagwa mukati na kuzhe, gwakapetiwa gwakazhaligwa nge zwizhalilo zwili kutendeka. 2 Abona ntumwa we kudzimu wakasima elebeleka nge hwi lipezhugwi eti, “Ndiani wakalizanila kuzhula lukwalo igogu?” 3 Koga kwakabe kusina ne nng'ompela kudzimu kene mu shango kene kusi kwe shango wakabe etubula kuzhula lukwalo ne kulinga zwimukati. 4 Ndakalila kwazo, ngobe kwakabe kusina wawang'wa akalizanila kuzhula lukwalo kene kubala zwimukati. 5 Ipapo mmwe we bakulu kabe eti kundili, “Usilile, bona, Shumba ye ludzi gwa Juda, we ludzi gwa Dafite, wakunda, kodwa kuti ungazhula zwizhalilo izwezwi zwili kutendeka kazhula lukwalo.”
6 Ndakabona Pkhwizana yakabe ilingika seyakabe yatongobulawa ili mile pa tjigalo tje bushe ne zwibumbiwa zwinna zwinotjila, yakabe ina nyanga dzili kutendeka ne mesho ali kutendeka ali meya ye Ndzimu ili kutendeka yakabe yatumwa mu shango yose. 7 Pkhwizana ikayenda ikanotola lukwalo mu luboko gwe luji gwe ugele mu tjigalo tje bushe. 8 Yakati yatola lukwalo, zwitjili zwinna ne bakulu bakabe bali makumi mabili ana bathu banna, bakawila pasi mbeli kwe Pkhwizana, mmwe ne mmwe wakabe ana dende ne ndilo dze golide dzili zhele motsha zwili milile mitembezelo ye bayengemali. 9 Bakamba lumbo butshwa, beti,
“Wakalizana kutola lukwalo

13 Ngono ndakahwa tjibumbiwa tjimwe ne tjimwe kudzimu ne mu shango na kusi kwe shango ne mu gungwa na zose zwimba zwiti,
“Kunli ugele pezhugwi kwe tjigalo tje bushe ne ku Pkhwizana

14 Zwibumbiwa zwinotjila zwinna zwakashandula zwiti, “Ngakujalo.” Ngono bakulu bakawila pasi, bakanamata Ndzimu.
