Aakulaghila kuha bahala baa Jelofehaadi̱ bugwetuwa bwa nsi obu mu̱ghenji̱ waatu oghu angu̱tu̱ngi̱ye. 3 Kaakuba basweluwa basaasa bʼomu ntu̱la sinji sya Banai̱saaleeli̱, du̱mbi̱ bugwetuwa bwa baataata baatu obu bukuleka kuba bwa ntu̱la yaatu kandi bukuba bwa ntu̱la sya bantu hambali basweuwe. Nahabweki ki̱twi̱ke kya bugwetuwa bwatu bantu banji bakukitwala. 4 Mwaka ghwa Banai̱saaleeli̱ kukola ki̱ghenu̱ kya bughabe* ghukaaku̱hi̱ka, bugwetuwa bwa bahala baa Jelofehaadi̱ bakubuuya haa bugwetuwa bwa baataata baatu babwongele haa bugwetuwa bwa ntu̱la hambali basweuwe.”
