Ditjhaba tse ileng tsa sala naheng ya Kanana
1Tsena ke ditjhaba tseo Morena a ileng a di tlohela tsa sala hore a leke Baiseraele ka tsona, e leng ba bangata ba sa kang ba tseba dintwa tsohle tsa Kanana. 2E ne e le hore meloko ya bana ba Iseraele e ithute ntwa, haholoholo meloko e neng e sa ka ya tseba ntwa. 3Ditjhaba tseo ke tsa marena a mahlano a Bafilesita, le Bakanana bohle, le Basidone, le Bahife, e leng baahi ba thaba ya Lebanone, ho tloha Baale-Heremone, ho ya fihla lekgalong la Hamate. 4Ba ile ba siuwa hore ho lekwe Baiseraele ka bona, ho tsejwe hore na ba tla mamela melao ya Morena, eo a e laetseng bo-ntata bona ka Moshe.
5Bana ba Iseraele ba aha hara Bakanana, le Bahete, le Baamore, le Baperise, le Bahife, le Bajebuse. 6Ba nyallana le ditjhaba tseo, mme ba sebeletsa medimo ya tsona.
Oteniele
7Bana ba Iseraele ba sitelwa Morena, ba lebala Morena Modimo wa bona, ba sebeletsa bo-Baale le ditshwantsho tsa Ashera. 8Bohale ba Morena ba tlokomela Baiseraele, mme a neelana ka bona matsohong a Kushane-Rashataime, kgosi ya Arame-Naharaime, mme bana ba Iseraele ba sebeletsa Kushane-Rashataime ka dilemo tse robedi. 9Ha bana ba Iseraele ba ipiletsa ho Morena, Morena a ba hlahisetsa mopholosi ya ileng a ba namolela. Ke Oteniele, mora wa Kenase, moena wa Kalebe. 10Moya wa Morena wa theohela hodima hae, ya eba moahlodi wa Baiseraele. A futuha, mme Morena a neelana ka Kushane-Rashataime, kgosi ya Arame, matsohong a hae. Oteniele a hlola Kushane-Rashataime. 11Naha ya eba le kgotso ka dilemo tse mashome a mane. Yaba Oteniele, mora wa Kenase, o a shwa.
Ehude
12Bana ba Iseraele ba boela ba sitelwa Morena. Morena a matlafatsa Egelone, kgosi ya Moabe, hore a hlole Baiseraele, hobane ba ne ba sitetswe Morena. 13Egelone a kopanya mabotho a hae le a Baamore le a Baamaleke, yaba o a futuha, o hlola Baiseraele, o hapa motse wa Jeriko. 14Bana ba Iseraele ba sebeletsa Egelone, kgosi ya Moabe, ka dilemo tse leshome le metso e robedi.
15Empa ha bana ba Iseraele ba ipiletsa ho Morena, Morena a ba hlahisetsa mopholosi. Ke Ehude, mora wa Gera wa Mobenjamine, monna ya leqele. Bana ba Iseraele ba mo roma ho isetsa Egelone, kgosi ya Moabe, nyehelo. 16Ehude o ne a iketseditse sabole e hlathang ka mahohle, bolelele ba yona e le disenthimethara tse mashome a mahlano. O ne a e tlama tlasa seaparo sa hae, hodima qholo ya letsoho la hae le letona. 17Yaba o nea Egelone, kgosi ya Moabe, nyehelo eo. Egelone e ne e le pesolahadi ya monna. 18Ha Ehude a se a neelane ka nyehelo, a re ho batho ba neng ba nkile nyehelo eo, ba tsamaye. 19Empa yena a kgutla ha a le pela medimo e betlilweng ka majwe, e pela Gilegale; a fihla, a re: “Motlotlehi kgosi, ke o tliseditse thomo ya lekunutu.”
Kgosi ya re: “Kgutsang!” Bohle ba neng ba eme pela kgosi ba tswela kantle.
20Ehude a tla ho kgosi, e dutse kamoreng e maphodi, e kahodimo, eo e neng e le ya yona e inotshi. Ehude a re: “Ke na le molaetsa wa hao, o tswang ho Modimo.” Egelone a phahama setulong. 21Ehude a ntsha letsoho la leqele, a hula sabole e qholong ya letsoho la hae le letona, a mo phehlela ka yona mpeng. 22Mofeng wa kena le sabole, yaba mafura a kwahela sabole, hobane ha a a ka a hula sabole ka mpeng, ya phunyeletsa, ya ya hlaha kamorao. 23Jwale Ehude a tswela lethuleng, a kwalla kgosi ka kamoreng e kahodimo, a ba a notlela mamati.
24Ha a se a tswile, bahlanka ba kgosi ba tla. Ba bona hore mamati a kamore e kahodimo a notletswe, mme ba re: “O sa ntsane a ithoma ka ntlwaneng ya kamore e maphodi.” 25Ba lebella ho fihlela ba be ba belaela. Ha ba bona a sa bule mamati a kamore e kahodimo, ba nka senotlolo ba notlolla. Ba bona kgosi ya bona e tjapaletse fatshe, e shwele.
26Ka nako eo ba neng ba ntse ba lebeletse, Ehude yena a ipha dimenyane, a ba a fetela ka nqane ho medimo e betlilweng ka majwe, a tshabela Seira. 27Ha a fihla naheng e maralla ya Efraime a letsa lenaka. Bana ba Iseraele ba tloha naheng e maralla, ba theoha, yena a ba eteletse pele.
28Yaba o re ho bona: “Ntateleng, hobane Morena o neelane ka dira tsa lona, e leng Bamoabe, matsohong a lona.” Ba theoha ba mo latetse, ba hapa madiboho a Jorodane ao Bamoabe ba tshelang ho wona, mme ba se ke ba dumella le ya mong ho tshela. 29Ka yona nako eo ba bolaya banna ba Moabe ba ka bang kete tse leshome, bohle e le banna ba dikwankwetla, le banna ba bahlabani, mme ha se ke ha phonyoha le ya mong. 30Ka lona letsatsi leo, Bamoabe ba hlolwa, ba ba katlasa Baiseraele. Naha ya eba le kgotso ka dilemo tse mashome a robedi.
Shamegare
31Kamora Ehude moahlodi ya eba Shamegare, mora wa Anate, ya neng a bolaye Bafilesita ba makgolo a tsheletseng ka tsenene e potlakisang dipholo, mme le yena a namolela Baiseraele.
