Bagasoa ase enyomba y’enyasae yabo, bakaria na konywa, erio bakaragereria Abimeleki. ⅩⅩⅧ Gaali, mosinto bw’Ebedi agateeba, “Abimeleki nere ng’o? Naintwe, abanto ba Sekemu, ’mbanto ki tore? Nase ki togokorera Abimeleki? Ere mosinto o Yerubi‐Baali! Na Sebuli, nere omoteneneri bw’ abanto baye! Nase ki rende togokorera Abimeleki?

Nigo nare komoteebia: Menta abarwani bao b’esegi, erio ochiche korwana!”
ⅩⅩⅩ Ekero Sebuli, omogambi bw’omochie oria, aigwete amang’ana a Gaali, mosinto bw’Ebedi, akaba n’endamwamu enene. ⅩⅩⅪ Agatoma abanto gochia ase Abimeleki bobisi bamoteebie, “Gaali, mosinto bw’Ebedi, amo nabamura bamwabo bachire Sekemu, goseegeta abanto b’omochie babe mamincha yao.

Erio ekero Gaali n’abanto baria bare komo bakobaachera kobarwania, mobakorere buna amaboko aino aranyare ekero ekio!”
ⅩⅩⅩⅣ Abimeleki amo n’abanto bonsi barenge komo bakaimoka botuko, bakebisa, bakaboera Sekemu, bare ebiombe bine. ⅩⅩⅩⅤ Gaali agasoka, agatenena ase egeita ki’omochie, na erio agwo Abimeleki amo n’abanto baye bakaimoka korwa ase baaboete. ⅩⅩⅩⅥ Ekero Gaali arooche abanto, agateebia Sebuli, “Rigereria, abanto bagotirimboka korwa ebitunwa igoro.”
Korende Sebuli agateeba, “Ebio n’ebiiriiri bi’ebitunwa kwarorire bikororekana buna abanto.”
ⅩⅩⅩⅦ Gaali agakwana naende, agateeba, “Yaya, rigereria, abanto ’ngotirimboka bare korwa ase rigwamu ria gati‐gati, n’abanto b’ekeombe kende nigo bagoocha ase enchera ekorwa ase omote oria bw’abaringoria Omoaluni.”
ⅩⅩⅩⅧ Erio Sebuli akamoteebia, “Ng’ai are amang’ana ao ay’ogwetogia ekero gwateebete: Abimeleki nere ng’o? Nase ki tokomokorera? Aba tibari abanto baria gwachayete? Soka bono obarwanie.” ⅩⅩⅩⅨ Gaali agatang’ana abanto ba Sekemu, na barabwo bakageenda bakarwania Abimeleki. ⅩⅬ Abimeleki agaseeria Gaali, na ere agatama. Abange bagaitwa, bakarambereria inse goika ase egeita ki’omochie. ⅩⅬⅠ Abimeleki akaira na Aruma, na Sebuli agaseeria Gaali na abamura bamwabo, erio tibanyaara kogenderera komenya Sekemu.
ⅩⅬⅡ Rituko ria kabere abanto bagasoka ase egetii aarabu, n’Abimeleki agateebigwa amang’ana ayio. ⅩⅬⅢ Ere akaimoka n’abanto baye, akabaatanana ase ebiombe bitato, barabwo bakebisa na koboa ase egetii. Ekero arooche abanto bagosooka korwa ase omochie, agasooka korwa aase ebisete, akabaumokera na kobaita. ⅩⅬⅣ Abimeleki n’abanto b’ekeombe kiaye bakaayerera gochia gotenena ase egeita ki’omochie, korende abanto b’ebiombe biria bibere binde bakabarindokera na kobaumokera abanto bonsi barenge ase egetii, bakabaita. ⅩⅬⅤ Na ekero Abimeleki arwanetie omochie rituko riria rigima, akayobwata na agaita abanto abamenyeteo. Erio akayoiyeria na koyoitororera omonyoo.
ⅩⅬⅥ Ekero abanto bonsi b’Omorobiri o Sekemu baigwete amang’ana ayio, bakebisa ime ase ekenunchi kiarenge obotamero obokong’u agwo ase Hekalu ya Eli‐Beriti. ⅩⅬⅦ Abimeleki agateebigwa ng’a abanto bonsi b’Omorobiri o Sekemu nigo bagasangererekanete amo. ⅩⅬⅧ Erio agatiirera egetunwa gia Salimoni amo n’abanto baye bonsi. Akaimokia egesire, akageecha chinsagia chi’emete, agachibeeka ase amareko aye. Naende agateebia abanto baye, “Aya morarore inche ’ngokora, nainwe mokore boigo, na moyakore bwango!” ⅩⅬⅨ Ase igo, kera oyomo ase abanto baria akageecha chinsagia chiaye; erio bagatunyan’Abimeleki, bakabeeka emete eria ang’e ase obotamero boria obokong’u, na kobotongia omorero, bakabosiria amo n’abanto bonsi b’omoorobiri oria. Abwo bonsi, abanto koreng’ana elifu eyemo, abasacha n’abakuungu, bagakwa.
Ⅼ Magega y’ayio Abimeleki akageenda Tebesi, akayonaaria na koyoira. ⅬⅠ Korende omoorobiri omokong’u norenge ase omochie oria ime, n’abanto bonsi b’omochie, abasacha n’abakuungu, bagatama gochiao, bagesiekera imeo. Erio bakariina gochia kerama igoro. ⅬⅡ Abimeleki agacha koumokera omoorobiri oyio, agaika ang’e n’egesieri kiaye ayosambe n’omorero, ⅬⅢ +na omokungu oyomo akaruta ensio agosera, agaaka Abimeleki omotwe, agasenyenta ekeore kiaye. ⅬⅣ Erio Abimeleki akarangeria omosae obogoretie ebirwanero biaye, akamoteebia, “Somora omoyio oo o birende, ong’ite, abanto tibaabaisa goteeba ng’a: N’omokuungu omoita.” Erio omosae oria akamobeta omoyio oye, akamoita. ⅬⅤ Ekero Abaisraeli barooche ng’a Abimeleki okuure, bakairana ’nka, kera oyomo goika bwoye.
ⅬⅥ Naboigo ekaba ng’a Nyasae oakanire egesiomba ase engencho y’ebibe biria Abimeleki akorerete ise ase ogoita abana baye, abamura bamwabo omonyene, emerongo etano n’ebere. ⅬⅦ Nyasae akagera abanto ba Sekemu bakanyora egesusuro as’engeencho y’obonyamuma b’abwo. Naboigo okoragereria kwa Yotamu, mosinto o Yerubi‐Baali, kogaikeranigwa igoro yabo.
