Neye wa hungira kuna wo a tja: 2 “Arikaneye, kapureye otjiṋa hi ongahukiro kovature avehe va Sikem: ‘Tji tji ri otjiwa ku eṋe otjikeṋa, okongwi okuhonaparerwa i ovarumendu omirongo hambombari, avehe ovazandu va Jerubbaal, poo okongwi okuhonaparerwa i omurumendu umwe?’ Nu wina rizemburukeye kutja ami owami onyama nombinḓu yeṋu.” 3 Momuhoko waina ve kemuhungirira omambo nga aehe ongahukiro kovature va Sikem. Nowo ve ripura okukongorera Abimelek, tjinga ava tja: “Eye omuzamumwe wetu.” 4 Owo opu ve mu pera ovimariva ovisilveri omirongo hambombari okuza mondjuwo onḓere ya Baal-Beret. Novimariva mbi Abimelek wa kuta na vyo ovandu ovehinohepero novehinaunongo kutja ve mu kongorere. 5 Neye wa ya kondjuwo ya ihe mOofra na kazepera ovangu ve kewe rimwe, imba ovazandu va Jerubbaal, ovarumendu omirongo hambombari; nungwari Jotam, omuzandu wa Jerubbaal ongero, ongwa hupa po, tjinga a kaṱara. 6 Okuzambo ovature avehe va Sikem nova Milo otji va worongana, nave kazikira Abimelek pOmumbonde-wOtjizemburukiro mbu ri mOsikem a rire ombara.
7 Nowo tji va tjivisa otjiṋa hi ku Jotam, eye arire tja kakurama kondomba yondundu Garisim na yere eraka re ama ravaere nai ku wo: “Purateneye ku ami, vature va Sikem, kutja Ndjambi a puratene ku eṋe wina! 8 Eyuva rimwe omiti vya ya okukazika ombara yavyo navi katja nai komuṋinga: ‘Rira ombara yetu!’ 9 Nungwari imbwi omuṋinga wa zira au tja: ‘Hi ise okupitisa omaze wandje, ovisenginina novandu ngu ve ndji tangera, nu mbi katengerere kombanda yomiti are?’ 10 Nomiti arire tji vya tja komukuyu: ‘Ove indjo u karire ombara yetu!’ 11 Nungwari imbwi omukuyu wa tja nai ku vyo: ‘Hi ise okupitisa oruaze rwandje novihape vyandje oviwa, nu mbi katengerere kombanda yomiti are?’ 12 Nomiti arire tji vya tja komuvite: ‘Ove indjo u karire ombara yetu!’ 13 Nungwari imbwi omuvite wa tja nai ku vyo: ‘Hi ise okupitisa omeva wandje womandjembere nge yorokisa ovisenginina novandu, nu mbi katengerere kombanda yomiti are?’ 14 Nomiti avihe arire tji vya tja kotjimbuku: ‘Ove indjo u karire ombara yetu!’ 15 Notjimbuku tja tja nai komiti: ‘Eṋe tji mamu vanga katjotjiri okundjitwirisa mbi rire ombara yeṋu, indjeye mu wame momuzire wandje; ape he ri nao, omuriro mau zu motjimbuku nau seseta otupapa twa Libanon!’ ”
16 Jotam wa hungira komurungu na tja: “Eṋe nao mwa tjita mouatjiri na mouṱakame, tji mwa zika Abimelek a rire ombara are? Eṋe nao mwa tjita ouwa ku Jerubbaal neṱunḓu re, tji mwa tjita ku ye otja komayenenisiro wozondjito ze are? 17 Zemburukeye kutja tate wa rwira eṋe. Eye ka yamene omuinyo we mokumuyama kOvamidian. 18 Nungwari ndinondi eṋe mwa sekamena ondjuwo ya tate. Eṋe mwa zepera ovazandu ve, ovarumendu omirongo hambombari, kewe rimwe namu ziki Abimelek, omuzandu womukazendu we omumbanda, a rire ombara yovature va Sikem, eye tjinga a ri omuzamumwe weṋu. 19 Nu ndinondi eṋe tji mwa tjiti mouatjiri na mouṱakame ku Jerubbaal neṱunḓu re, yorokereye Abimelek, neye nga yorokere eṋe. 20 Nungwari ape he ri nao, ngamu pite omuriro mu Abimelek u sesete ovature va Sikem nova Milo; nu ngamu pite omuriro movature va Sikem nova Milo u sesete Abimeleke.” 21 Jotam otja tupuka na taurire kObeer na kakara ngo mena rokutira erumbi re Abimelek.
22 Abimelek wa honaparera Ovaisrael oure wozombura ndatu. 23 Ndjambi arire tja sekamisa ombepo ombi pokati ka Abimelek novature va Sikem, nowo va huhunuka ku Abimelek. 24 Otjiṋa hi tja tjitwa kutja ourunde mbwa tjitirwe kovazandu imba omirongo hambombari va Jerubbaal u sutisiwe, nokutja ombinḓu yawo i sutisiwe mu Abimelek, erumbi rawo, ngwe ve zepa, na wina movature va Sikem mbe mu vatera okuzepa ovangu ve. 25 Ovature va Sikem va twa ovandu motutatwa kozondomba zozondundu; nowo va huura omundu auhe ngwa kapitira mondjira. Nu ihi tja tjivisiwa ku Abimelek.
26 Nu Gaal, omuzandu wa Ebed, weya puna ovangu ve kOsikem; novature va Sikem va kara nonḓakameno mu ye. 27 Nowo avehe va ya kovikunino vyomivite, ave kapora omandjembere nokuyekama nave tjiti omukandi. Tjazumba otji va hita mondjuwo onḓere yotjisenginina ave ri, ave nu, nave tukana Abimelek. 28 Nu Gaal, omuzandu wa Ebed, wa tja nai: “Abimelek eye owaṋi, neṱe Ovasikem oweṱe ovakendu, kutja matu kara ovandu vokehi ye? Eye kamuzandu wa Jerubbaal, nu Sebul kamumuungurire are? Karereye ovarumendu va Hamor, ihe yomuhoko wa Sikem. Nu ingwi Abimelek matu mu karerere tjike? 29 Andakuzu otjiwaṋa hi tji ri kehi youvara wandje ami etje ramba Abimelek; etje mu raera nai: ‘Tji u notjimbumba otjinene tjovita, indjo, pita u rwe!’”
30 Sebul, omunane wotjihuro, tja zuva omambo nga wa Gaal, omuzandu wa Ebed, arire tja ṱomazenge tjinene. 31 Neye wa tuma ovahindwa mongumumu ku Abimelek kOaruma okukemutjivisa nai: “Tara Gaal, omuzandu wa Ebed, weya puna ovangu ve kOsikem, nowo mave ku hohizire ovandu motjihuro. 32 Rirongera ouṱuku mbunombwi, ove novarwe voye wovita, nu mu kaṱare mokuti motutatwa. 33 Nu omuhuka omunene tjipatji, rwisa otjihuro. Nu Gaal tja sekama novarwe ve wovita, tjita ku ye otja pu pe ṱa!”
34 Abimelek novarwe ve wovita avehe otji ve rirongera ouṱuku mbo nave kaṱara movimbumba vine motutatwa popezu na Sikem. 35 Gaal, omuzandu wa Ebed, tja pita pendje yotjihuro na kakurama pomuvero, Abimelek novarwe ve wovita arire tji va piti motutatwa twawo. 36 Nu Gaal tje ve muna wa tja nai ku Sebul: “Tjiri, ngwina maku rauka ovandu wovita kozondomba zozondundu.”
Nungwari Sebul we mu zira a tja: “Imbwo omuzire wozondundu mbu mo munu aayo ovandu.”
37 Nu Gaal wa tja nai rukwao: “Tara, maku rauka ovarwe komakapitiro wozondundu, notjimbumba tjimwe matji zire komukuma wOmumbonde wOndjai.”
38 Sebul opa tjera ku ye: “Otjinyo tjoye otjinene nambano tji ri pi tjiyo ravaere na tjo nai: ‘Ingwi Abimelek owaṋi kutja twa sokukara ovandu vokehi ye?’ Owo, owo mba ovandu vokehi ye? Owo, owo mba ovandu mbu wa nyengurire! Nambano sekama vari u karwe na wo!” 39 Gaal wa hongorera ovature va Sikem na karwisa Abimelek. 40 Gaal wa taura komurungu wa Abimelek, nu Abimelek we mu tezera. Novengi va ṱa nave saravara pehi nga pomuvero wotjihuro. 41 Nu Abimelek wa kara mOaruma, nungwari Sebul wa ramba Gaal novandu ve, ne ve tjaere okutura mOsikem.
42 Eyuva ekongorerwa raindo ovandu va Sikem va ya mokuti. Nu Abimelek wa hepurirwa otjiṋa ho. 43 Neye opa toorera ovarwe ve, e ve haṋa movimbumba vitatu ne ve twara mokuti motutatwa. Neye tja muna kutja ovandu mave piti motjihuro, eye wina otja pita motutatwa twe ne ve zepa. 44 Abimelek wa purukuta notjimbumba tje nga pomuvero wotjihuro na kakurama mbo. Nu ovimbumba mbi vivari vyarwe vya rwisa ovandu mba ri mokuti, navi zepa avehe. 45 Abimelek wa rwisa otjihuro oure weyuva ndo arihe. Neye wa kambura otjihuro na zepa avehe, mba ri mu tjo. Okuzambo eye wa hahaura otjihuro na handjaurire mo omongwa.
46 Novature avehe votjiṱunga tja Sikem tji va zuva otjiṋa hi otji va kahita metuwo rokehi rondjuwo onḓere ya Baal-Beret. 47 Abimelek wa raerwa kutja ovature avehe votjiṱunga tja Sikem va woronganene mo. 48 Nu Abimelek wa ronda kondundu Salmon puna ovarumendu ve wovita. Neye wa toora ekuva na ke na ro orutavi rwomuti; arire tje ru toora e ru twa kotjiṱuve tje na tja nai kovarumendu ve wovita mba ri puna ye: “Ihi tji mwa munu tji mba tjiti, tji tjiteye wina mohakahana.” 49 Ovarumendu va Abimelek avehe wovita otji va ka auhe orutavi rwe, ave mu kongorere nave katendeka otutavi twi kombanda yetuwo ndi rokehi. Nowo ve tu hwikira kombanda yetuwo rokehi, ngunda amwa ri ovandu mba avehe votjiṱunga tja Sikem; nu mwa tira ovarumendu novakazendu mangara eyovi rimwe.
50 Tjazumba Abimelek otja ya kOtebes, arire tje ketjikovera ne tji kambura. 51 Mokati kotjihuro hi mwa ri otjiretundu otjinamasa, novarumendu novakazendu novanane avehe votjihuro va taurira ku tjo; nowo ve ripatera mo, narire tji va karonda komututu wotjiretundu. 52 Abimelek weya nga potjiretundu ne tji rwisa. Neye wa ryama nga omahitiro wotjiretundu hi kutja e tji nyose. 53 Nungwari omukazendu worive wa yemena ewe rotjikweyero kotjiuru tje, ne mu nyanyaura otjikongo. 54 Nu Abimelek wa rakiza omukarere we, omutjinde woviyumbe vye, a tja ku ye: “Nana engaruvyo roye u ndji zepe. Ami hi nokuvanga kutja ku kaze mba ṱa i omukazendu.” Omukarere we ope mu tuvakaṋisira engaruvyo, neye arire tja koka. 55 Novarumendu Ovaisrael tji va muna kutja Abimelek wa koka, avehe otji va yaruka kozoyawo.
56 Komuhingo mbwi Ndjambi opa sutisira ouvi Abimelek mbwa tjitire ku ihe mokuzepa omarumbi we omirongo hambombari. 57 Imbwi ouvi wovarumendu va Sikem Ndjambi we u yarura mu wo oveni; nosengiro ya Jotam, omuzandu wa Jerubbaal, ye ya kombanda yawo.

16 “Onye ngeenge mwa longa tuu paife pashili nopauyuki, mokuninga Abimelek ohamba, nongeenge mwa ningila Jerubbaal neumbo laye ouwa, nongeenge mwe mu alulila pailonga yomake aye, 17 onye ava tate e mu lwila nokwe liekelela omwenyo waye molweni, ndele e mu xupifa momake Ovamidian, 18 ndelenee nena eli nye mwa twa ondubo neumbo latate, novana vaye ovalumenhu, ovalumenhu omilongo heyali mwe va dipaa kemanya ndele mwa ninga Abimelek, omona womupika waye, ohamba yoonakukalamo muSekem, shaashi ye omumwanyoko. 19 Nye ngeenge mwa longa tuu nena eli pashili nopauyuki naJerubbaal neumbo laye, kaleni hano nokuhafela Abimelek, naye ne mu hafele yo. 20 Ndelenee ngeenge hasho, omundilo nau dje mo muAbimelek, nau lungwinife po oonakukalamo muSekem neumbo laMillo.

Enyonauko lOvasikem nolaAbimelek
22 Abimelek eshi a pangela Israel omido nhatu, 23 Kalunga okwa tuma ko omhepo ii, pokati kaAbimelek noonakukalamo muSekem, noonakukalamo muSekem ove liteeka Abimelek, 24 opo oukolokoshi wa ningilwa ovana ovamati omilongo heyali vaJerubbaal u handukilwe, ndele ye opo a tule ohonde yavo komumwaina Abimelek, ou e va dipaa, nosho yo koonakukalamo muSekem, ava va pameka omake aye a dipaa ovamwaina ovalumenhu. 25 Noonakukala muSekem va tula ovanangeli keexulo deemhunda, ndele ava va nyeka keshe umwe, ou a enda nondjila oyo nokukoya opo. Eshi sha shiivifilwa Abimelek.

Abimelek nomatanga aeshe aa a li puye mekulwila eshi va fikama, 36 Gaal okwa mona omatanga, ndele ta ti kuSebul: “Tala, taku di ovanhu tava londoloka keexulo deemhunda.” Ndelenee Sebul ta ti kuye: “Ove ou wete omididimbe deemhunda da fa ovalumenhu.” 37 Ndele Gaal okwa diinina ta ti: “Tala, otaku di ovanhu pokati koshilongo nongudu imwe tai di kOmwandi wovalodi.” 38 Opo nee Sebul ta ti kuye: “Okanya koye openi ke li eshi wa tile: Abimelek olyelye tu mu longele? Oo omatanga ovakwaita, ove wa dina. Fikama hano u va lwife.” 39 Opo nee Gaal okwa fikama komesho yoonakukalamo muSekem ndele ta lu naAbimelek. 40 Ndelenee Abimelek okwe mu shikula, ndele ye okwa ya onhapo komesho yaye, ndele vahapu va fila poshivelo shoshilando. 41 Ndele Abimelek a fyaala muAruma, ndelenee Sebul okwa taataa Gaal novamwaina, ndele vo va li inava mona onhele okukala mo vali muSekem.
