Mo metlheng ya gagwe lefatshe la nna mo kagisong dinyaga di le some. 2Asa a dira tse di molemo tse di siameng mo matlhong a Morena Modimo wa gagwe. 3A tlosa dialetare tsa medimo e sele le dithota tsa tlhabelo, a thubaganya majwe a a motloutlo, a rema medimako ya Ašera, 4a laela Bajuta gore ba batle Morena, Modimo wa borraabo, ba dire ka fa molaong le taolong tsa ona. 5A ba a tlosa dithota tsa tlhabelo le majwe a a motloutlo a letsatsi mo metseng yotlhe ya Juta, mme bogosi jwa nna mo kagisong ka puso ya gagwe. 6A ba a aga metse e e femetsweng mo Juta; gonne lefatshe le ne le iketlile, go se na ope yo o lwang nae ka dinyaga tseo, ka Morena a mo file boikhutso. 7Ke ka moo a reileng Bajuta a re: “A re ageng metse eo, re e agelele ka lobota le dinaka tsa phemelo le dikgoro le mephakarego, re sa ntse re le barena ba lefatshe. E re ka re tlhokometse Morena, Modimo wa rona, le ona o re tlhokometse, wa re naya boikhutso tikologong, wa re tsweletsa pele.” 8Asa o ne a na le mephato ya batlhabani ba Juta ba ba tshotseng dithebe le marumo ba le 300 000, le ba Benyamene ba ba tshotseng dithebe ba itse go hula ka mara, ba le 280 000; botlhe bao e ne e le batlhabani ba ba pelokgale.

Ba thukhutha metse yotlhe eo, ga nna thopo e kgolo mo go yona. 15Le gona ba thopa ditente tsa badisa ba diruiwa, ba gapa dinku tse dintsi le dikammele, ba be ba boela kwa Jerusalema.
