7 Aantu yomuIsrael mboka taa ka hupa ko mokati kiigwana oyindji, otaa ka kala ya fa omata gomume ga tumwa kOmuwa noya fa iihomo yomvula kiimeno iitalala. Otashi uthwa kOmuwa, hakomuntu. 8 Mboka taa ka hupa ko mokati kiigwana, otaa ka kala ya fa onime tayi weye yi ikongele iikulya mokuti nenge melundu; otayi itsu oshigunda shoonzi, tayi dhi nukile e tayi dhi tuulagula — nokape na etegameno lyehupitho. 9 Israel ota ka sinda aatondi ye e te ya hanagula po ayehe.
10 Omuwa ota ti: “Pomasiku ngoka otandi ka kutha po uukambe woye notandi ka yonagula po omatembakwiita goye. 11 Otandi ka hanagula po iilando yomoshilongo shoye e tandi kumuna po omagameneno goye. 12 Otandi ka hanagula po oonkondo dhuumpulile woye e to ka kala waa na we aayanekeli. 13 Otandi ka yonagula po iimenka yoye noongudhimanya dhoye oondjapuki; ito ka simaneka we iinima we yi ningi ngoye mwene. 14 Otandi ka kumuna po iiyelekela yoshikalunga Asheera moshilongo e tandi yonagula po iilando yoye. 15 Nomuupyundjahi wandje otandi ka galulila iigwana ayihe shoka ye shi ilongela, sho inaayi vulika kungame.”
