1 Aaisraeli sho ya gongala muMispa, oya ningi euvaneko ye li uvanekele Omuwa ya ti: “Mutse kamu na nando ogumwe ta pitika, omwana omukadhona a hokanwe kOmubenjamin.” 2 Aaisraeli noya yi kuBetel e taa kuutumba koshipala shaKalunga, sigo ongulohi. Oya lili oosa ya ti: 3 “Omuwa Kalunga kaIsrael, omolwashike ezimo lyaBenjamin li li pokukana muIsrael?”
4 Ongula onene yesiku lya landula aantu oya meneka e taa tungu oshiyambelo noya yamba omakwatathanondjambo noya lungunitha omidhidhindjambo. 5 Oya pula ya ti: “Momazimo gaIsrael omu na tuu ongundu ndjoka inaayi ya koshigongi shika koshipala shOmuwa muMispa?” (Oya adhika ya gana kutya ngoka inaa ya kuMispa, ota dhipagwa.) 6 Aaisraeli oya li yu uvite oluhodhi omolwaamwayina Aabenjamin e taa ti: “Nena Israel okwa kanitha limwe lyomomazimo ge. 7 Otatu ningeni ngiini, opo tu monene Aabenjamin mboka ya hupu ko aakiintu? Tse otwa gana medhina lyOmuwa kutya itatu ya pe nando ogumwe gwaana yetu aakadhona.”
8 Sho ya pula, ngele ope na ongundu yimwe yomomazimo gaIsrael ndjoka inaayi ya koshigongi muMispa, oya koneke kutya nani kape na nando ogumwe a za kuJabesh muGilead.
9 Mokwiithana omadhina gaakwiita inaku yamukulwa nando okugumwe gwokuJabesh. 10 Onkee oshigongi osha tumu ko omayuvi omulongo nagaali goofuleelela nelaka tali ti: “Indeni, mu ka dhipage aantu ayehe muJabesh, aakiintu naanona wo. 11 Dhipageni aalumentu ayehe naakiintu ayehe mboka yaa shi aakadhona.” 12 Maantu yomuJabesh oya mono mo aakadhona omathele gane noye ya eta kontanda puShilo, shoka shi li mevi lyaKaanan.
13 Nena oshigongi ashihe osha tumu elaka kAabenjamin mboka ya li kemanya Rimmon kutya oya hala okupanga ombili nayo. 14 Aabenjamin oya galuka, nAaisraeli oye ya pe aakadhona yokuJabesh mboka inaa dhipagwa. Ihe kaya li ye ya gwanena.
15 Oshigwana osha sile Aabenjamin oluhodhi, oshoka Omuwa okwa topola omazimo gaIsrael. 16 Aawiliki yoshigongi oya ti: “Mezimo lyaBenjamin kamu na we aakiintu. Otatu ka ninga ngiini, tu monene aalumentu mboka ya hupu ko aakiintu? 17 Israel na kale inaa kanitha limwe lyomomazimo ge omulongo nagaali. Otu na okumona ompito, opo ezimo lyaBenjamin lyaa hule po. 18 Ihe itatu vulu oku ya pitika, ya hokane aana yetu aakadhona, molwashoka otwa thingi kehe ngoka gwomutse ta pitika, Omubenjamin a hokane gumwe gwomaana yetu aakadhona.”
19 Nena oya dhiladhila: “Oshituthi shOmuwa shokomumvo muShilo oshi li popepi.” (Shilo oshi li kuumbangalantu waBetel, kuumbugantu waLebona nokuuzilo wondjila yopokati kaBetel naShekem.) 20 Oya ti kAabenjamin: “Indeni, mu ka holame miitsambe yomiviinu, 21 mu ya langele. Uuna aakadhona yokuShilo taa zi mo, ya ka dhane pethimbo lyoshituthi, nena otamu hololoka miitsambe yomiviinu. Kehe gumwe gwomune na kwate omukiintu kethiminiko maakadhona mboka e te mu fala koshilongo shaBenjamin. 22 Ngele oohe nenge aamwayina taye ya kune taa nyenyeta, otamu ti: ‘Alikana, tu kwatheni, tu kale nayo, oshoka inatu ya yuga kune molugodhi, ya ninge aakiintu yetu. Nane wo inamu ye tu pa ne yene, onkee ne kamu na ondjo yokuyona euvaneko lyeni.’ ”
23 Aabenjamin oya ningi, ngaashi ya lombwelwa. Kehe gumwe gwomuyo okwi ihogololele omukiintu maakadhona mboka ya li taa dhana puShilo e ta yi naye. Nena oya shuna koshilongo shawo, oya tungulula iilando yawo noya kala mo. 24 Pethimbo olyo tuu ndyoka oshihupe shaIsrael osha yi wo shaa ngoka kezimo lyaandjawo, kegumbo lye nokeliko lye.
25 MuIsrael kamwa li omukwaniilwa pethimbo ndyoka. Shaa ngoka okwa li kakombwiilitha.
