Nombara ya tja nai kovarwe wovita: “Ami wina me kumuka puna eṋe.”

12 Nungwari omurumendu ngwi wa zira nai ku Joab: “Nandi we ndji pe ovimariva ovisilveri eyovi rimwe, himee twa eke randje komuzandu wombara. Eṱe twa zuva nomatwi wetu oveni, ombara tji ya raa kove na ku Abisai na ku Itai ai tja: ‘Amu tjiti otjipo komuzandu Absalom mena randje.’ 13 Andakuzu mba kara nokuhinonḓuviro ne mu zepa, ombara itjai zuva otjiṋa hi. Oyo i zuva otjiṋa ngamwa atjihe! Nove kotjo ndji yama.”
14 Joab arire tja tja: “Ami hi nokunyonena oruveze rwandje pove.” Tjazumba otja toora omanga yetatu ne keyetwera momutima wa Absalom, ngunda e nomuinyo nu ama rekareka komumbonde. 15 Novandu omurongo mbaa ve tjindi ovirwise vya Joab va ryama popezu nave zepa Absalom.
