(Yandi wáhanga bwabuna kaka hanga makula ma Kiseledi, bana bázayayoku mvita kuna thwala, balónguka yawu.) Makanda mawu: bapfumu batanu ba Bafilatu, Bakanana boosu, Basidoni, yi Bahivi bana bakala zingila muna mongu mya Lebanoni, tuka mongu Baala-Elemoni kuna Lebo-Amati. Bawu bakála mu kumeka Kiseledi, mu kuzaya yuka bisi lemvuka ku mikuku mya Tata wetu, mina káhana kwena batata ba bawu mu nzila ya Moyize. Buna bisi Kiseledi bázinga hana kati dya Bakanana, Bahiti, Bamoli, Baphelizi, Bahivi yi Bayebusi. Bákwela bana ba bakhetu ba makanda mana, báhana bana ba bawu ba bakhetu kwena bana ba bawu ba bayakala, amana basadila nzambi za bawu.

Tata Wátelamisa Otoniyeli

Kiseledi wáhanga mambu ma mbi ku mesu ma Tata wetu, wázimbakana Tata wawu, amana wasadila ba Baala yi ba Asela. Buna khabu ya Tata wetu yáyuka kwena Kiseledi; wátekisa bawu kwena Kushani-Lisatayimi kinga kya Alami-Naalayimi, wuna Kiseledi kasadila mvula nana. Tangwa bisi Kiseledi bábekitidi kwena Tata wetu, yandi wátelamisa muhuludi—Otoniyeli mwana wa Kenazi, phangi wa koma ka muleki wa Kalebi—wuna wábahulula. Kitembu kya Tata wetu kyisa kwena yandi, amana wabáfundisa Kiseledi. Wenda ku mvita, amana Tata wetu wáhana Kushani-Lisatayimi kinga kya Alami mu moku mandi, amana koku dyandi dyánungina Kushani-Lisatayimi. Buna tsi yálembwila mvula makumaya, kuhingila ni Otoniyeli mwana wa Kenazi wáfwa.

Tata Wátelamisa Ewuti

Bisi Kiseledi báhanga hika mambu ma mbi ku mesu ma Tata wetu, amana kikuma báhanga mbi yayi, Tata wetu wápheka ngolu Egeloni kinga kya Mowabi kwena Kiseledi. Egeloni wáwóngika Bamoni yi Bamaleki, wenda wábeta Kiseledi, amana bákwata Mbanza ya Baba. Bisi Kiseledi basadila Egeloni kinga kya Mowabi mvula kumi yi nana. Bisi Kiseledi bábekitidi hika kwena Tata wetu; yandi wátelamisa Ewuti mwana wa Ngela, mwisi Benyamini wisi sadila koku kwa lumonso, hanga muhuludi. Bahitika kabu mu nzila yandi kwena Egeloni kinga kya Mowabi. Ewuti wádiyidikila mbedi ya phoku modi, yina yila kufwana koku kumosi, amana wáyikanga ku tsi ya miledi myandi hana khulu dyandi dya lubakala. Wásongila kabu kwena Egeloni kinga kya Mowabi, wuna wákala mutu wanene buna bufwani. Kunima dya Ewuti kumanisa kusongila kabu, wásindika batu bana bákala nata dyawu. Yandi wávutuka tuka ku biteki bina bikala bwesuka ni Giligali, wuzimbudi: «Ngyenina yi ndinga ya kitsweki kikuma kya ngeyi, A kinga.» Kinga wuzimbudi: «Talala!» amana basadi bandi boosu bámusisa.

Ewuti wábwesuka kwena yandi, buna kákala yandi mosi muna mwanza wandi wa ku zilu wa khyozi. Ewuti wuzimbudi: «Ngyenina yi ndinga yitukidi kwena Nzambi kikuma kya ngeyi.» Kinga wátelama ha kiti kyandi. Ewuti wáyalumuna koku kwandi kwa lumonso, wábonga mbedi hana khulu dyandi dya lubakala, amana wákotisa muna vumu dya Egeloni. Kikumba kya mbedi kyákota kunima dya phoku; mafuta máyifika hana thandu. Mukuma Ewuti káholaku mbedi muna vumu, mitsyobu myandi mímilubuki. Ewuti wálubuka ku mbazi, wáyafikidi mwelu mya mwanza wa ku zilu ku nima yandi, amana wáyakanga.

Kunima dya yandi kulubuka, basadi bandi báwana mwelu mya mwanza wa ku zilu buna myákangama, amana bazimbudi: «Mukyedika yandi kenina kusala mambu mandi mu suku dya khyozi.» Bákala hingila kuhingila ni tsoni yabákwata, kaasi yandi kázibulaku kedi mwelu mya mwanza wa ku zilu. Buna bábonga tsabi, bázibula, amana báwana pfumu wawu wábwa hana tsi, wafwa.

Muna tangwa bákala zinga, Ewuti wátina. Wáluta ku biteki amana wátinina ku Seyila. Buna kátula, wásika mpungi muna mongu mya Efalayimi, amana bisi Kiseledi bátuluka yi yandi mu mongu, Ewuti wenda ku thwala. Yandi wuzimbudi: «Ndandenu, mukuma Tata wetu wáhana bambeni zenu ba Mowabi mu moku menu.» Bátuluka ku nima yandi, bákwata bisabukilu bya Yolutani kwena Mowabi, amana ka mutu ku wákala lenda sabuka. Muna tangwa dina, bábeta kitesu kya mafunda kumi ma Bamowabi, boosu bayakala ba ngolu yi ba kikesa; ka mosi ku wátina. Buna Mowabi wákulumuka muna kilumbu kina ku tsi ya moku ma Kiseledi, amana tsi yálembwila mvula makumi nana.

Kunima, Samangali mwana wa Anati wálanda, mu kuhonda Bafilatu khama tsambanu ni nsonga wa bangombi; yandi phi wáhulula Kiseledi.
