21 Ti̱ enu̱we abakubbala kukola byona ebi bilaghilo bilaghiiye, buuye tamukaaghu̱wagha eki Musa aahandi̱i̱ki̱ye mu bilaghilo ebi? 22 Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we bi̱ghi̱li̱ye biti Ebbulahi̱mu̱ akaba ali na batabani̱ babili. Omui amu̱byayʼo mukali̱ wee mu̱syana, onji aamubyayʼo mukali̱ wee eenini. 23 Mutabani̱ wee oghu aabyayʼo mukali̱ wee mu̱syana ni̱na wee akaku̱li̱ya etundu liye ngoku bakali̱ bakaaku̱ku̱li̱yagha babyala; bhaatu mwana wee oghu aabyayʼo mukali̱ wee eenini, akabyaluwa kusighikila ngoku Luhanga eenini aalaghani̱i̱je.
24 Ku̱byaluwa kwa batabani̱ babili baa Ebbulahi̱mu̱ aba nkyakukolelo, nanga bakali̱ babili aba booleki̱ye ndaghaano ebili sya Luhanga. Ndaghaano emui ni eghi Luhanga aakoleeye Musa haa mwena Si̱naai̱, eghi ekafoola baana baa Hagali̱ kuba basyana. 25 Hagali̱ oghu, nkyakulolelo kya ebyabaaye haa mwena Si̱naai̱ mu kyalo kya Alebbi̱ya, ali dhee nga kibugha kya Yelusaalemu, nanga bantu baamu bali nga basyana kukwata bilaghilo bya Musa. 26 Bhaatu Saala, mukali̱ eenini wa Ebbulahi̱mu̱ wa bughabe nkyakulolelo kya Yelusaalemu eghi eli mu Eghulu hambali bantu bali na bughabe. Kandi Yelusaalemu eghi niiyo eli nga ni̱naatu̱we bahi̱ki̱li̱ja boona. 27 Nanga kihandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ngu:
“Odheedhuwe uwe mukali̱ ngumba,

Obu̱ghe bhyani odheedheeu̱we,

28 Nahabweki bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje, mwafooki̱ye baana baa Luhanga nga I̱saka kusighikila ngoku Luhanga aalaghani̱i̱je. 29 Ti̱ bwile obu mwana oghu akabyaluwa nga baana boona, aatandika kubona-boni̱ya mwana oghu akabyaluwa haabwa maani̱ ghaa Mwoyo Ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye. Niikuwo bakwete kutubona-boni̱ya batiyo endindi. 30 Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we bi̱ghi̱li̱ye biti, “Obhinge mukali̱ mu̱syana oghu na mwana wee. Mutabani̱ wa mukali̱ oghu taakugwetuwa hamui na mutabani̱ wa mukali̱ waawe eenini.”* 31 Nahabweki bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje, haabwa ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja tatuli nga baana baa mukali̱ mu̱syana oghu, abakulaghiluwa kukola ebi bilaghilo bilaghiiye. Bhaatu tuli nga baana baa mukali̱ wa Ebbulahi̱mu̱ eenini, aba Luhanga aku̱si̱i̱ma haabwa ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja.
