Kwaviya Mndewa Mulungu kamuwonela ubazi, waja iwasenga wa kuulanga wawamha Lutu na muke wake na wandele zake waidi, wawalava mudibululu. 17 Viwakomeleze kuwalava, imwe wa wasenga waja wa kuulanga kalonga, “Kimbileni muladi muhonyeke. Sekemulole kuchisogo na sekemwime muna dibawe, kimbilileni muna imilima muladi sekemukomigwe.”

18 Mbali Lutu kamwidika, “Siyo, wenevale wangu. 19 Muninogela na kunihonya ugima wangu kwa kunilagusa ulondo. Mbali milima yakutali, ivo kunangigwa kuno kwizanifika ning'hali sinafika uko na nizadanganika. 20 Loleni kuja kuna bululu dodo nodaha kudikimbilila kwaviya dahabehi. Lelo nilekelele nikimbilile uko.

Mbali tati yake havimanyile bule lusita mndele wake viyaibandame nayo, kwaviya kakala yakoligwe. 36 Kwa nzila ino wandele wose wa Lutu weng'higwa wimo na tati yawo. 37 Imndele imkulu keleka mwana na zina jake kamtanga Moabu, iyo niiyo wasaho yawo Wamoabu mbaka diyelo. 38 Imndele imdodo iviya keleka mwana na zina jake kamtanga Benami.
