O vha a tshi konana na Mudzimu. 10Nua o vha e na vhana vhararu vha vhatuka, Semu na Hamu na Jafethe. 11Zwino Mudzimu a vhona shango ḽo tshinyala, vhathu vha tshi huvhadzana. 12Mudzimu a vhona shango ḽo tou tshinyala tshoṱhe, vhathu vhoṱhe fhano fhasi vhó tou ḓikumedza u tshinya.
13Ndi hone Mudzimu a tshi amba na Nua a ri, “Ndi ḓo fhedza vhathu vhoṱhe; shango ḽo no ḓala u levhelana; vhukuma ndi ḓo lozwa zwoṱhe – vhathu na ḽifhasi. 14Zwenezwo ḓifhaṱele tshikepe nga miri yo khwaṱhaho, u ite phera ngomu hatsho, u tshi fhome nga tshikonṱiri ngomu na nnḓa. 15U tshi fhaṱe nga u rali: u navha hatsho tshi vhe mithara dza 150, vhuphara tshi vhe mithara dza 25, u ya nṱha tshi vhe mithara dza 15. 16Itsho tshikepe u tshi fulele, u sie tshikhala tshi no ita hafu ya mithara vhukati ha ṱhanga na nga matungo. Kwea vothi nga matungo. U ite zwitizi zwiraru. 17Nṋe nga ndoṱhe ndi ḓo ḓisa muḓalo wa maḓi kha ḽifhasi a lozwa zwoṱhe zwi tshilaho zwi re fhasi ha lutombo; zwi ḓo lovha zwoṱhe, vhathu na dziphukha. 18Huno ndi ḓo vhofha mulanga na iwe; u ḓo dzhena tshikepeni – iwe na vhana vhau vha vhatuka, na musadzi wau na vhasadzi vha vhana vhau. 19Ngomu tshikepeni u longe zwivhili-zwivhili zwa zwivhumbwa zwoṱhe zwi tshilaho – tshiduna na tshisadzi; u ḓitshidze nazwo. 20Hu ḓo ḓa zwivhili-zwivhili zwa zwiṋoni zwa tshakha dzoṱhe, na zwa zwifuwo zwa tshakha dzoṱhe; zwi ḓo ḓa ha iwe uri zwi tshidzwe. 21U longe tshakha dzoṱhe dza zwiḽiwa zwine zwa ḓo ḽiwa; u zwi vhulunge, zwi vhe zwiḽiwa zwau na zwazwo.”
