19 ¹Matukũinĩ macio, gũtiarĩ mũthamaki Isiraeli. Naake Mũlawi ũmwe watũũraga kũndũ kũraaya bũrũriinĩ wa irĩma wa Efiraimu akĩoya thuriya kuuma Bethilehemu ya Juda. ²Nayo thuriya yake ĩkĩmũtharĩkĩra, ĩkĩmũtiga ĩgĩcooka nyũmba ya ithe kũu Bethilehemu ya Juda, ĩgĩikara kũu mĩeri ĩna. ³Nake mũthuuri wayo akiumagara akĩmĩrũmĩrĩra, nĩguo amĩarĩrie ngoro na amĩcookie, arĩ na ndungata yake na ndigiri igĩrĩ. Nake mũirĩĩtu akĩmũtwara nyũmba ya ithe, nake ithe wa mũirĩĩtu ũcio akĩmũkenera rĩrĩa maacemanirie. ⁴Nake mũthoniwe, ũrĩa warĩ ithe wa mũirĩĩtu, akĩmũringĩrĩria aikare, nake agĩikara nake mĩthenya ĩtatũ; makĩrĩĩaga, makĩnyuuaga, na makĩraaraga kũu.

⁵Mũthenya wa kana magĩũkĩra rũũciinĩ tene, nake akĩrũgama nĩguo athiĩ. No ithe wa mũirĩĩtu akĩĩra mũthoniwe atĩrĩ, “Rĩa kĩenyũ kĩa mũgate, ũcooke ũthiĩ.” ⁶Nao eerĩ magĩikara thĩ, makĩrĩa na makĩnyua hamwe. Nake ithe wa mũirĩĩtu akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, raara ũmũthĩ, nayo ngoro yaku ĩkene.” ⁷Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩrũgama nĩguo athiĩ, no mũthoniwe akĩmũringĩrĩria, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩraara kũu rĩngĩ. ⁸Mũthenya wa gatano akĩũkĩra rũũciinĩ tene nĩguo athiĩ; nake ithe wa mũirĩĩtu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, ĩkĩra ngoro yaku hinya, weeterere nginya mĩaraho.” Nao eerĩ makĩrĩa. ⁹Na rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio aarũgamire nĩguo athiĩ, arĩ na thuriya yake na ndungata yake, mũthoniwe, ũrĩa warĩ ithe wa mũirĩĩtu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, mũthenya nĩũkuhĩrĩirie gũthira; raara ũmũthĩ. Ta rora, mũthenya nĩũrathira; raara haaha na wĩkenie. Rũciũ ũũkĩre rũũciinĩ tene, ũthiĩ rũgendoinĩ rwaku, ũinũke mũciĩ.” ¹⁰No mũndũ ũcio akĩrega kũraara ũtukũ ũcio; agĩũkĩra, akiumagara, agĩkinya kũngʼethera Jebusi (na nĩkuo Jerusalemu), arĩ na ndigiri ciake igĩrĩ itaandĩkĩtwo matandĩko, na thuriya yake. ¹¹Rĩrĩa maakuhĩrĩirie Jebusi, mũthenya ũkiriĩ gũthira, ndungata ĩkĩĩra mwathi wayo atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, ũka tũahũke twĩtoonyere itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩa Ajebusi tũraare kuo.”

¹²Nake mwathi wayo agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩhũndũkĩra itũũra rĩa andũ a kũngĩ, rĩrĩa rĩtarĩ rĩa Isiraeli; nĩtũgũthiĩ na mbere nginya Gibea.” ¹³Agĩcooka akĩĩra ndungata yake atĩrĩ, “Ũka, tũkinye kũndũ kũmwe gwa gũkũ, tũraare Gibea kana Rama.” ¹⁴Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ na njĩra yao, narĩo riũa rĩkĩmathũĩra marĩ hakuhĩ na Gibea kũrĩa kwa Benjamini. ¹⁵Makĩhũndũka nĩguo maraare Gibea. Nake agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ kĩhaaroinĩ kĩa itũũra, no gũtiarĩ mũndũ waamatwarire gwake mũciĩ nĩguo maraare.

¹⁶Na rĩrĩ, mũthuuri ũmwe mũkũrũ agĩũka oimĩte wĩra wa mũgũnda hwaĩ-inĩ. Nake oimĩte bũrũriinĩ wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, aatũũraga Gibea arĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ; nao andũ a kũu maarĩ a mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini. ¹⁷Nake mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ agĩtiira maitho, akĩona mũgendi ũcio arĩ kĩhaaroinĩ kĩa itũũra, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrathiĩ kũ? Na ũkuuma kũ?”

¹⁸Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tuumĩte Bethilehemu ya Juda tũgĩthiĩ bũrũriinĩ wa irĩma wa Efiraimu kũndũ kũraaya—na nĩkuo mũciĩ wakwa. Ndaathiĩte Bethilehemu ya Juda, na rĩu ndĩrathiĩ nyũmba ya Ithe witũ, no gũtirĩ mũndũ ũranduara gwake mũciĩ. ¹⁹Tũrĩ na nyeki na irio cia ndigiri ciitũ, na ningĩ tũrĩ na mũgate na ndibei cia niĩ, na cia ndungata yaku ĩno ya mũtumia, na cia mwanake ũyũ ũrĩ hamwe na ndungata ciaku. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ tũagĩte.”

²⁰Nake mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thaayũ ũrogĩa nawe. Nĩngũkũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe ũbataire; no tiga kũraara kĩhaaroinĩ.” ²¹Nake akĩmũtwara gwake mũciĩ, akĩhe ndigiri irio, nao magĩĩthambia magũrũ, makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.

²²Na rĩrĩa maakeneete, o rĩmwe andũ amwe aaganu a itũũra rĩu makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba, makĩhũũraga mũrango. Nao makĩanĩrĩra, makĩĩra mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ mwene nyũmba atĩrĩ, “Rutũrũra mũndũ ũcio ũtoonyete nyũmba yaku, nĩguo tũkome nake!”

²³Nake mwene nyũmba akiumĩra kũrĩ o, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, ariũ a baaba, ndamũthaitha mũtikeeke ũũru, kuona atĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩatoonya nyũmba yakwa; mũtikeeke ũndũ ũyũ wa thoni. ²⁴Mwarĩ wakwa ũyũ ũrĩ gathirange na thuriya ya mũndũ ũyũ—rekei ndĩmarute inja. Mamenererei, mwĩkĩre o ũrĩa mũkuona kwagĩrĩire harĩ inyuĩ, no mũtikeeke mũndũ ũyũ ũndũ ũyũ wa thoni.”

²⁵No andũ acio makĩrega kũigua. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio akĩnyiita thuriya yake, akĩmĩrutũrũrĩria inja kũrĩ o; nao magĩmĩkoma na hinya, makĩmĩnyaariira ũtukũ wothe nginya rũciinĩ gũgĩthererũka, magĩcooka makĩmĩrekereria. ²⁶Na gũgĩthererũka-rĩ, mũtumia ũcio agĩũka, akĩgũa thĩ mũromoinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũndũ ũcio, kũrĩa mwathi wake aarĩ, nginya gũgĩkĩa. ²⁷Na rũũciinĩ mwathi wake agĩũkĩra, akĩhingũra mĩrango ya nyũmba, akiumĩra nĩguo athiĩ na njĩra yake—na rĩrĩ, thuriya yake ĩkĩoneka ĩgũĩte thĩ hau itoonyeroinĩ rĩa nyũmba, mooko mayo marĩ hingĩroinĩ. ²⁸Nake akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, tũthiĩ.” No ndĩamũcookeirie ũndũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmĩhaicia ndigiri, akiumagara agĩthiĩ mũciĩ wake.

²⁹Aakinya mũciĩ, akĩoya kahiũ, akĩnyiita thuriya yake, akĩmĩtemanga ciĩga ciayo, agĩtua tũcunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ, agĩtũmana tũu bũrũriinĩ wothe wa Isiraeli. ³⁰Nao arĩa oothe maakĩonire makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ ũndũ ta ũyũ wĩkĩkĩte kana wonekete kuuma rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Wĩciiriei ũhoro ũyũ, mũkĩaranĩrie, mũkĩarie.”
