²Atate wathu anati, “Yuda akwere. Ndapereka dziko m'manja mwake.”

³Yuda anati kwa Simeoni, m'bale wake, “Tiye tikwere pamodzi ndi ine ku gawo langa limene ndagawidwa, ndipo timenyane ndi Akanaani; ndipo inenso ndidzapita nawe ku gawo lako.” Choncho Simeoni anapita naye. ⁴Choncho Yuda anakwera, ndipo Atate wathu anapereka Akanaani ndi Aperizi m'manja mwawo, nawapha anthu 10,000 ku Bezeki. ⁵Ku Bezeki anapeza Adoni-bezeki, namenyana naye, nawapha Akanaani ndi Aperizi. ⁶Adoni-bezeki anathawa, koma iwo anamlondola, namgwira, nadula zala zake zazikulu za m'manja ndi za kumapazi. ⁷Adoni-bezeki anati, “Mafumu makumi asanu ndi awiri amene zala zawo zazikulu za m'manja ndi za kumapazi zinadulidwa anali kutola zotsalira pansi pa tebulo langa. Monga ndinachitira, momwemo Mulungu wandibwezera.” Anabwera naye ku Yerusalemu, kumene anafera.
