1 Musa waenderera kugomba achiamba, “Ndiphophiya vihani kpwendapigana na maadui genu, na muone farasi, magari ga kuvwehwa ni farasi na jeshi kulu zaidi kuriko renu msiaogophe. Mana Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, yekutuluzani Misiri a phamwenga namwi. 2 Kabila ya kuandza viha, mlavyadzi-sadaka ni edze mbere agombe na ro jeshi aambe, 3 ‘Phundzani mwi atu a Iziraeli! Rero munaphiya mkapigane na maadui genu. Msifwe moyo wala msiogophe, msikakame wala msimakizwe ni higo maadui. 4 Mana Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, ndiye aphiyaye phamwenga namwi kpwendapigana na maadui genu kpwa ajili yenu na kukuphani ushindi.’
5 “Halafu maofisaa gandauza ro jeshi aambe, ‘Dze, phana mutu yeyesi phano yedzenga nyumba nyiphya na kadzangbweyiika mbere za Mlungu? Naauye kpwakpwe, ili asifwerere vihani na mutu wanjina achasagala mumo. 6 Dze, phana yeyesi phano yephanda mizabibu ela kadzangbwerya matundage? Mutu iye naauye kpwakpwe sedze achafwerera vihani na mutu wanjina akarya matundage. 7 Dze, phana mlume yeyesi phano yechumbiya na a phephi na kulóla? Naauye kpwakpwe sedze achafwerera vihani na mlume wanjina akalóla mchumbawe.’ 8 Na nyo maofisaa gandauza tsona gaambe, ‘Dze, phana mutu ariyemuoga na achiyevundzika moyo? Iye naauye kpwakpwe sedze akatiya ayae wuoga, akakala aoga dza iye.’ 9 Nyo maofisaa achimala kugomba na ro jeshi, andatsambula akulu a jeshi.
10 “Mchifika phephi na mudzi ili kuushambuliya, mwandzo apheni enyezie masharuti ga amani. 11 Enyezi a mudzi hinyo achilonda amani na kudzilavya kpwenu, phahi atu osi anaokala himo andakuhumikirani na kuhenda kazi za shokowa. 12 Ela enyezi a mudzi hinyo asiphohenda amani namwi, ela achipigana viha namwi, phahi, mundazangira mudzi wao, 13 na Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, achiutiya mwenu mikononi, mundaolaga alume osi kpwa upanga. 14 Ela achetu na anache, ngʼombe na vyosi virivyo mo mudzini munaweza kuvitsukula kpwa ajili yenu enye. Munaweza kuhumira vitu ambavyo Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, akakuphani yani vitu murivyohala zewe kula kpwa maadui genu. 15 Hivi ndivyo mndivyoihenda midzi yosi ambayo i kure namwi na tsi ambayo mundaimiliki. 16 Ela kpwenye midzi ya atu hinya ambayo Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu, anakuphani ikale urisi wenu, musiriche chitu chochosi chiphumacho. 17 Angamizani atu osi tsetsetse: Ahiti, Aamori, Akanani, Aperizi, Ahivi na Ajebusi dza vira Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu arivyokuamuruni. 18 Hendani hivyo sedze akakufundzani mambo ga kutsukiza anagohendera milungu yao ambago gandakuhendani muhende dambi mbere za Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wenu.
19 “Mnaphozangira mudzi kpwa muda mure, mchilonda kuuteka, msiteme mihi ya matunda kpwa mbadzo, mana munaweza kurya matunda ga mihi hiyo. Dze, mihi ni atu hata muishambuliye? 20 Munaweza kukata mihi ambayo si mihi ya matunda ili muihumire kudzenga ngazi za kupandira ndani ya mudzi munaoshambuliya hadi ugbwe.”
