6 Ndi kuwerenga kwa iwo akukhatira, ndi kuika dzanja lao kukamwa kwao, ndiko mazana atatu; koma ena onse anagwada pakumwa madzi.

7 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, Ndi anthu mazana atatu akukhatira ndidzakupulumutsani, ndi kupereka Amidiyani m’dzanja lako; koma amuke anthu awa onse, yense kumalo kwake.

8 Pamenepo anthu anatenga kamba m’dzanja lao, ndi malipenga ao; ndipo anauza amuna onse a Israele amuke, yense kuhema kwake; koma anaimika amuna mazana atatuwo; ndipo misasa ya Midiyani inali kunsi kwake m’chigwa.

9 Ndipo kunali usiku womwewo, kuti Yehova ananena naye, Tauka, tatsikira kumisasa; pakuti ndaipereka m’dzanja lako.

10 Koma ngati uopa kutsika, utsike naye Pura mnyamata wako kumisasa;

40 Koma Abimeleki anampirikitsa, nathawa iye pamaso pake; nagwa olasidwa ambiri mpaka polowera pa chipata.

41 Ndipo Abimeleki anakhala ku Aruma; ndi Zebuli anaingitsa Gaala ndi abale ake kuti asakhale mu Sekemu.

42 Ndipo kunali m’mawa mwake, kuti anthu anatuluka kunka kuminda; ndipo anauza Abimeleki.

43 Pamenepo anatenga anthu, nawagawa magulu atatu, nalalira m’minda; napenya, ndipo taonani, anthu alimkutuluka m’mzinda; nawaukira iye nawakantha.

44 Ndi Abimeleki ndi magulu okhala naye anathamanga naima polowera pa chipata cha mzinda; ndi magulu awiriwo anagwera onse okhala m’munda, nawakantha.

45 Ndipo Abimeleki analimbana ndi mzinda tsiku lija lonse; nalanda mzinda nawapha anthu anali m’mwemo; napasula mzinda; nawazapo mchere.

46 Ndipo pamene eni ake onse a Nsanja ya ku Sekemu anachimva, analowa m’ngaka ya nyumba ya Eliberiti.

47 Ndipo anauza Abimeleki kuti amuna onse a Nsanja ya ku Sekemu asonkhana.

53 Ndipo mkazi wina anaponya mwala wa mphero pamutu pa Abimeleki, naphwanya bade lake.

54 Pamenepo anaitana msanga mnyamata wake wosenza zida zake, nanena naye, Solola lupanga lako nundiphe, angamanenere anthu, ndi kuti, Anamupha ndi mkazi. Nampyoza mnyamata wake, nafa iye.

55 Pamene amuna a Israele anaona kuti adafa Abimeleki anamuka yense kumalo kwake.

56 Momwemo Mulungu anambwezera Abimeleki choipacho anachitira atate wake ndi kuwapha abale ake makumi asanu ndi awiri.

20 Koma Sihoni sanakhulupirire Israele kuti apitire pakati pa malire ake; koma Sihoni anamemeza anthu ake onse, namanga misasa ku Yahazi, nathira nkhondo Israele.

24 Chimene akulandiritsani Kemosi mulungu wanu, simuchilandira cholowa chanu kodi? Momwemo aliyense Yehova Mulungu wathu waingitsa pamaso pathu, zakezo tilandira cholowa chathu.

25 Ndipo tsopano kodi inu ndinu wabwino woposa Balaki mwana wa Zipori, mfumu ya Mowabu; anatengana konse ndi Israele iyeyu kodi, kapena kuchita nao nkhondo konse kodi?

26 Pokhala Israele mu Hesiboni ndi midzi yake, ndi mu Aroere ndi midzi yake ndi m’mizinda yonse yokhala m’mphepete mwa Arinoni zaka mazana atatu; munalekeranji kulandanso nthawi ija?

27 Potero sindinakuchimwirani ine, koma mundichitira choipa ndinu kundithira nkhondo; Yehova Woweruzayo, aweruze lero lino pakati pa ana a Israele ndi ana a Amoni.

28 Koma mfumu ya ana a Amoni sanamvere mau a Yefita anamtumizirawo.
