2 Koma mkazi wake wamng’ono anachita chigololo akali naye, namchokera kunka kunyumba ya atate wake ku Betelehemu ku Yuda, nakhalako nthawi ya miyezi inai.

3 Koma anauka mwamuna wake namtsata kukamba naye zamtima, kumbwezanso; napita ndi mnyamata wake, ndi abulu awiri. Ndipo mkaziyo anadza naye kunyumba ya atate wake. Ndipo pakumuona atate wa mkaziyo anakondwera kukomana naye.

4 Ndipo mpongozi wake, ndiye atate wa mkaziyo, anamuimika kuti akhale naye masiku atatu; nadya namwa nagona komweko.

5 Ndipo kunali, tsiku lachinai, analawirira mamawa, nanyamuka iye kuchoka; koma atate wa mkaziyo anati kwa mkamwini wake, Limbitsa mtima wako ndi mkate pang’ono, ndipo utatero upite.

7 Ndipo munthuyo ananyamuka kuti amuke; koma mpongozi wakeyo anamkakamiza, nagonanso komweko.

8 Nalawirira mamawa tsiku lachisanu kuti amuke, koma atate wa mkaziyo anati, Ulimbitse mtima wako, nulindire lipendeke dzuwa; nadya iwo onse awiri.

9 Pamenepo munthuyo ananyamuka kuchoka, iye ndi mkazi wake wamng’ono ndi mnyamata wake; koma mpongozi wake, atate wa mkaziyo, ananena naye, Tapenya, lapendeka dzuwa, ugone kuno usiku; tapenya lapendekatu dzuwa, ugone kuno, nusekerere mtima wako; nimulawire mamawa kunka ulendo wanu kwanu.

10 Koma munthuyo anakana kugonako usiku, nanyamuka, nachoka, nadza pandunji pa Yebusi (ndiwoYerusalemu); ndi pamodzi naye panali abulu awiri omangirira mbereko; anali nayenso mkazi wake wamng’ono.

11 Pofika iwo pa Yebusi linalimkulowa dzuwa, ndi mnyamata anati kwa mbuye wake, Tiyeni, tipatukire mzinda uwu wa Ayebusi ndi kugona pomwepa.

13 Nati kwa mnyamata wake, Tiyeni, tiyandikire kwinako: tigone mu Gibea, kapena mu Rama.

14 Napitirira iwo, nayenda, ndi dzuwa linawalowera pafupi pa Gibea, ndiwo wa Benjamini.

15 Napatukirako, kuti alowe nagone ku Gibea; nalowa iye, nakhala pansi m’khwalala la mzindawo, pakuti panalibe wina wowalandira m’nyumba agonemo, wakuwapatsa pogona.

17 Pamene anakweza maso ake anaona munthu wa pa ulendoyo m’khwalala la mzinda; ndi nkhalambayo inati, Umuka kuti? Ufumira kuti?

18 Ndipo ananena nayo, Tili kuchokera ku Betelehemu ku Yuda, kunka ku mbali za mapiri a Efuremu, ndiko ndifumira ine; koma ndidamuka ku Betelehemu ku Yuda; ndipo tsopano ndili kumuka kunyumba ya Yehova; koma palibe munthu wondipatsa nyumba.

20 Ndipo nkhalambayo inati, Mtendere ukhale ndi iwe, komatu, zosowa zako zonse ndidzakupatsa ndi ine; pokhapo usagone m’khwalala.

21 Pamenepo anamlonga m’nyumba yake, napatsa abulu chakudya; ndipo iwo anasamba mapazi ao, nadya, namwa.

22 Pokondweretsa iwo mitima yao, taonani amuna a m’mzindawo, ndiwo anthu otama zopanda pake, anazinga nyumba, nagogodagogoda pachitseko; nati kwa mwini nyumba nkhalambayo ndi kuti, Tulutsa mwamunayo adalowa m’nyumba mwako kuti timdziwe.

23 Ndipo munthu mwini nyumba anawatulukira nanena nao, Iai, abale anga, musachite choipa chotere; popeza mwamuna uyu walowa m’nyumba mwanga, musachite chopusa ichi.

24 Taonani, mwana wanga wamkazi ndiye namwali, ndi mkazi wake wamng’ono siwa; ndiwatulutse iwo, muwachepetse iwo, ndi kuwachitira monga muyesa chokoma; koma mwamuna uyu musamchitire chopusa ichi.

25 Koma amunawo sanafune kumvera; motero munthuyu anagwira mkazi wake wamng’ono, natuluka naye kwa iwo kunja; namdziwa iwo, nachita naye zoipa usiku wonse mpaka m’mawa; namlola achoke mbandakucha.

26 Nadza mkaziyo, kutacha, nagwa pakhomo pa nyumba ya munthu padali mbuye wake, kufikira kutayera.

27 Pamene mbuye wake anauka mamawa, natsegula pakhomo pa nyumba, natuluka kunka ulendo wake, taona, mkazi wake wamng’ono, atagwa pakhomo pa nyumba ndi manja ake pachiundo.

28 Ndipo ananena naye, Tauka, timuke; koma panalibe womyankha. Pamenepo anamuika pabulu; nanyamuka mwamunayo, nanka kwao.

29 Ndipo pofika iye kunyumba kwake, anatenga mpeni, nagwira mkazi wake wamng’onoyo namgawa chiwalochiwalo magawo khumi ndi awiri, namtumiza ku malire onse a Israele.

30 Ndipo kunali kuti onse amene anachiona anati, Sichinachitika, inde sichinaoneke chotere chiyambire tsiku lokwera ana a Israele kutuluka m’dziko la Ejipito mpaka lero lino; lingiriranipo, mupangane nzeru, nimunene.
