Ehudu
12Vhaisraele vha dovha vha khakhela Muṋe washu. Nga zwenezwo Muṋe washu a ita uri Egiloni khosi ya Muaba a vhe na maanḓa a u kunda Vhaisraele. 13 Egiloni a baḓekana na Vhaamoni na Vhaameleke, vha kunda Vhaisraele vha thuba Jerikho, muḓi wa mitshevho. 14Vhaisraele vha vhuswa nga Egiloni miṅwaha ya 18.
15Vhaisraele vha lilela Muṋe washu, ene a ruma muṅwe munna uri a vha vhofholole. Hoyo munna ndi Ehudu, muḓuhulu wa Gera, wa tsinde ḽa Benyamini. O vha a tshi shuma nga tsha monde. Vhaisraele vha ruma Ehudu ha Egiloni khosi ya Muaba e na nduvho dza u mu ṋea. 16Ehudu o vha o ḓifulela banga ḽa mutsheahoṱhe ḽa vhulapfu he ha vha vhu tshi nga ita hafu ya mitha. O vha o ḽi vhofhelela thungo ya tshauḽa tshawe fhasi ha zwiambaro zwawe. 17Ehudu a dzhia idzo nduvho a dzi isa ha Egiloni. Egiloni o vha e muthu wa tshikikinini. 18Musi Ehudu o no mu ṋea idzo nduvho, a vhudza vhanna vhe vha vha vho zwi hwala uri vha humele hayani. 19Hone Ehudu ene muṋe a huma matomboni o vhaḓiwaho tsini ha Giligala, a vhuelela ha Egiloni, a mu vhudza a ri, “Thovhela, ndi na mafhungo a tshiphiri ane nda fanela u vha vhudza.”
Khosi ya vhudza vhalanda vhayo ya ri, “Ibvani ri sale ri roṱhe.” Vhone vha bvela nnḓa.
20Musi khosi i tshee yo dzula henefho i yoṱhe pfamoni yayo i rotholelaho nṱha ṱhangani, Ehudu a ya khae a ri, “Ndi na malaedzwa avho a no bva ha Mudzimu.” Khosi ya takuwa ya ima nga milenzhe. 21Ehudu a mbo ḓi ṱomola ḽiḽa banga siani ḽawe ḽa tshauḽa nga tshanḓa tshawe tsha monde, a mbo ḓi runga khosi thumbu ngaḽo. 22Banga ḽa dzhena ḽoṱhe ḽe mbwanda, khathihi na khaḓa dzaḽo, mapfura a mbo ḓi ḽi tibedza. Ehudu a si ḽi ṱomole thumbuni ya khosi, ḽa phuletshedza nga murahu, vhukati ha milenzhe yawe. 23Ndi hone Ehudu a tshi bvela nnḓa, a vala mahothi, a a khiela, 24a ṱuwa. Vhalanda vha tshi ḓa vha wana mahothi o khielwa, vha vhona unga khosi i ngomu, i khou ḓithusa. 25Vha lindela vha vhuya vha hanganea, vha vhona khosi i sa vuli vothi. Ndi hone vha tshi dzhia khii vha vula. Vha wana muṋe wavho o rambalala fhasi o fa.
26Ehudu a shavha vha tshee vho lindela. A fhira matombo aḽa o vhaḓiwaho, a shavhela Seira. 27Musi a tshi swika henefho mivhunduni ya Efraimi, a lidza phalaphala ya u ramba Vhaisraele uri vha bve pfumo, a vha ranga phanḓa vha tsa mivhundu. 28Ehudu a ri, “Ntevheleni! Muṋe washu o kumedza maswina aṋu Vhamuaba zwanḓani zwaṋu.” Vha tsa vha tevhela Ehudu, vha thuba maḓambuwo a Jorodani a u wetshela Muaba, vha si tende na muthihi a tshi wetshela seli. 29Musi wonoyo vha vhulaha 10 000 zwa vhahali vhahulu vha Muaba; a hu na na muthihi wavho we a ponyoka a shavha. 30Ndi hone he Vhaisraele vha kunda Vhamuaba, ḽa lala ha vhuya ha fhela miṅwaha ya 80.
