1Abimeleki mutabane wa Gideoni yaaja e Shekemu y’aboluganda lwa inhina, yaabakoba boonaboona ati: 2“Mubuuze abantu ab’e Shekemu boonaboona muti, ‘Kye mwenda n’ekiri gha ku bino: okufugibwanga batabane ba Gideoni boonaboona ensanvu, oba okufugibwanga omuntu omulala yenka?’ Mwidhukire nga nze ndi musaayi gwaimwe.”
3Aboluganda lwa inhina baamutuukiza ebibono ebyo byonabyona y’abantu ab’e Shekemu. Abantu ab’e Shekemu abo baasalagho okunonereza Abimeleki, nga bakoba bati: “Oyo atuliku oluganda.” 4Baamugha ebitundu bya feeza nsanvu, bye baatoola mu isabo lya Baali Berithi. Empiiya edho, Abimeleki dhe yakozesa okupangisa abasaadha abazira kye bagasa naire era ababbamu, abaamunonereza. 5Agho yaaja mu ndhu ya ise mu Ofura, yaitirayo, ku ibaale irala, baganda be ensanvu, batabane ba Gideoni. Aye Yothamu mutabane wa Gideoni asembayo obuto, yeekweka, yaaloba kwitibwa. 6Abatyamye ab’e Shekemu n’ab’e Bethimillo boonaboona, beesoloza, baafuula Abimeleki kyabazinga, agho ghansi gh’omuti omukologho ogw’empagi e Shekemu.
7Yothamu bwe yakimanha, yaaja yaayemerera ghaigulu ku ngulu ku lusozi Gerizimu, yaayogerera ghaigulu, yaabalagiriza ati: “Mumpulirise imwe abatyamye b’e Shekemu, Katonda aghange okubawulira. 8Agho olwatuuka, emiti gyaja okulonda kyabazinga anaagifuganga. Gyakoba omuti omwoliva giti, ‘Ba kyabazinga waife.’ 9Aye omuti omwoliva gwairamu guti, ‘Ndekeyo okuvaamu omuzigo gwe bakozesa okwisa ekitiibwa mu misambwa ni mu bantu, ndhire mu kufuga obw’emiti?’ 10Emiti gyakoba omuti omutiini giti, ‘Iwe idha, obe kyabazinga waife.’ 11Aye omuti omutiini gwairamu guti, ‘Ndekeyo okubala ebibala ebirungi era ebidhuudhuula, ndhire mu kufuga obw’emiti?’ 12Emiti gyakoba omuti omuzabbibu giti, ‘Iwe idha, obe kyabazinga waife.’ 13Aye omuti omuzabbibu gwairamu guti, ‘Ndekeyo okuvaamu omwenge gwange ogusangaaza emisambwa n’abantu, ndhire mu kufuga obw’emiti?’ 14Agho emiti gyonagyona gyakoba omuti namukodolya giti, ‘Iwe idha, obe kyabazinga waife.’ 15Omuti namukodolya gwakoba emiti guti, ‘Oba nga bwene mwenda okunfuula kyabazinga waimwe, kale mwidhe mwewogome mu kinsense kyange. Aye oba nga ti n’ekyo, omuliro gwidha kuva mu nsaga dhange edh’amawa, gumalegho emivule egy’omu Lebanoni.’ ”
16Yothamu yaayongera okukoba ati: “Mpegaano ni mwebuuze: Eky’okufuula Abimeleki kyabazinga, mukikoze mu bwesimbu na mazima? Mwidhukira ebirungi Gideoni bye yabakolera? Era ab’endhu ye mubabisiisa bukalamu nga bwe kigwaniire? 17Mwidhukire nga lata wange yabalwanirira yaaghaayo obulamu bwe, yaabawonia Abamidia. 18Aye imwe olwaleero mwefuuliire ab’endhu ya lata wange mwaitira ku ibaale irala batabane be, abantu ensanvu. Mwatoola Abimeleki, mutabane w’omwiru omukazi owa lata wange, mwamufuula kyabazinga ow’e Shekemu, kuba waluganda lwaimwe. 19Kale ni oba nga kye mukoze Gideoni n’ab’endhu ye, mu kikoze mu mwoyo mulungi na mu mazima, mbeeni musangaalire Abimeleki, era yeena abasangaalire. 20Aye oba nga ti bwekiri, omuliro ka guve mu Abimeleki gusaaniegho ab’omu Shekemu n’ab’e Bethimillo, era omuliro guve mu bantu ab’e Shekemu n’ab’e Bethimillo gusaaniegho Abimeleki.” 21Agho Yothamu, olw’okutya muganda we Abimeleki, yaalumukira e Beeri, yaaba eyo.
22Abimeleki yaafuga Isiraeli okumala emyaka esatu. 23Agho Katonda yaakyaghagania Abimeleki n’abantu b’omu Shekemu. Abantu ab’omu Shekemu baaghemukira Abimeleki nga tibakaali beesigwa y’ali. 24Ekyo kyaligho, Abimeleki n’abantu ab’e Shekemu abaamughaganga okwita batabane ba Gideoni ensanvu, beesasuuzibwe olw’omusango gwaibwe ogwo. 25Abantu ab’e Shekemu baataagho abasaadha okweteeganga Abimeleki ku ngulu okw’ensozi, era baanhaganga ebintu ku bantu boonaboona abaabitanga mu ngira eyo. Ekyo abantu baakikobera Abimeleki.
26Agho Gaali mutabane wa Ebedi, yaidha n’aboluganda lwe, e Shekemu. Era abantu ab’e Shekemu baamutaamu obwesige, 27baaja mu masamba gaibwe ag’emizabbibu, baanoga emizabbibu baagikunhamu omwenge. Era baakola ekibinuko, baingira mu isabo ly’omusambwa gwaibwe, baalya, baanhwa, era baavumirira Abimeleki. 28Gaali oyo mutabane wa Ebedi yaakoba ati: “Tuli bantu ba nsambo ki ife ab’omu Shekemu muno? Lwaki tugheereza Abimeleki? Ye Abimeleki oyo naani? Era abimeleki oyo ni Zebuli omukungu we, bombi tibaagheerezanga basaadha ba Hamori, lata wa Shekemu? Kale lwaki tumugheereza? 29Ngoli ninze omukulembeze w’abantu bano, nanditoiregho Abimeleki! Nandimukobye nti, ‘Yongera mu igye lyo amaani, oveeyo oidhe olwane.’ ”
30Zebuli omukulu w’ekibuga bwe yawulira Gaali, mutabane wa Ebedi by’akobye, yaasungughala. 31Yaatuma abakwenda y’Abimeleki mu Aruma okumukobera ati: “Gaali mutabane wa Ebedi n’aboluganda lwe baidhie e Shekemu, era baasiikuula abantu ab’omu kibuga okukulwanisa. 32Mpegaano ni, iwe n’abasaadha bo, muje obwire mweteege mu nsiko. 33Olwo musituke ku nkyo ng’endhuba yaakavaayo, mulumbe ekibuga. Gaali n’abasaadha be bwe banaavaayo okubalumba, mwidha kubakubira irala nga bwe munaaba musoboire.”
34Agho Abimeleki n’abasaadha be baasituka mu bwire, beeteega ku mbali kwa Shekemu mu bikunsu bina. 35Agho Gaali yaafuluma yaayemerera mu mulyango ogw’ekibuga. Abimeleki n’abasaadha be baasituka okuva ghe baali babwaime. 36Gaali bwe yababona, yaakoba Zebuli ati: “Bona abantu bali kuserengeta nga bava ku ngulu okw’ensozi.” Aye Zebuli yaamwiramu ati: “Oli kubona binsense bya nsozi nga biri ng’oti bantu!”
37Gaali yaakoba kabiri ati: “Bona, abantu bali kuserengeta nga bava ghagati gh’ekiketezo. Ghaligho ekikunsu eky’abantu ekindi ekiri kufuluma mu ngira ey’oku muti omukologho ogw’abalaguzi.”
38Agho Zebuli yaamukoba ati: “Mpegaano okwesuutiriza kwo kujiire gha? Wakoba oti, ‘Abimeleki katyo naani, ife okumugheereza?’ Abo ni, n’abantu be wanhoomerera. Mpegaano weeveemu obalwanise.” 39Gaali yaakulembera abasaadha ab’e Shekemu, yaalwanisa Abimeleki. 40Gaali yaalumuka, Abimeleki yaamubingirira. Abantu kamaala baaja nga bagwa okutuukira irala ku mulyango ogw’ekibuga, olw’okufumitibwa. 41Abimeleki yaaba mu Aruma. Zebuli yaabinga Gaali n’aboluganda lwe mu Shekemu, balobe kubangamu.
42Ku lunaku olwairirira, abantu ab’e Shekemu baaja mu nimiro. Ekyo abantu baakikobera Abimeleki. 43Agho yaatwala abasaadha be, yaabagabania mu bikunsu bisatu, beeteega. Bwe yabona abantu nga bafuluma mu kibuga, yaabazinduukiriza yaabaita. 44Abimeleki n’ab’omu kikunsu ekyali naye, baaziinhuuka, baaja okukuuma omulyango ogw’ekibuga. Mu kiseera n’ekirala, ab’omu bikunsu bire ebibiri ebindi, baalumba abantu abaali mu nimiro, baabaita boonaboona. 45Abimeleki yaamala olunaku olwo lwonalwona ng’ali kulwanisa ekibuga ekyo. Yaakigema, yaita abantu baamu, era yaakimenhamenha, yaakimansiramu omuunhu.
46Abantu boonaboona abaali mu munaala ogw’e Shekemu bwe baawulira ekyo, baaja baingira mu kifo eky’okwewogomamu mu isabo lya Eliberithi. 47Abantu baakobera Abimeleki bati abantu bale boonaboona beesololeiza omwo. 48Agho yaaniinaniina, yaaja ku lusozi Zalumoni n’abasaadha be. Yaagema empasa, yaatema omuganda gw’ensaga ku muti, yaaguta ku ibega lye. Yaalagira abasaadha be bangughe, boona bakole nga bw’akoze. 49Agho kiisi muntu yaatema omuganda gw’ensaga ku muti, yaanonereza Abimeleki. Baabunga ensaga edho mu kifo eky’okwewogomamu kire, baakikumaku omuliro. Olwo abantu boonaboona abaali mu munaala ogw’e Shekemu, boona baafa, abasaadha n’abakazi nga baghera ng’oti lukumi (1,000).
50Agho Abimeleki yaaja mu kibuga Thebezi, yaakizingiza okukyezunguluza, era yaakinhaga. 51Ekibuga ekyo kyalimu ekimante ekigumu einho. Kale abantu boonaboona ab’omu kibuga, abasaadha n’abakazi, baalumukira omwo beesibiramu, era baaniina ku kasolya. 52Abimeleki bwe yaja okulumba ekimante ekigumu ekyo, yaaseeta gha mulyango gwakyo okukikumaku omuliro. 53Aye omukazi yaasuula enso ey’oku lubengo ku mutwe gw’Abimeleki, yaamwawula ekighanga.9:53: 2 Sam 11:21 54Agho Abimeleki yaayangugha okweta omwisuka eyamugemeranga eby’okulwanisa bye, yaamulagira ati: “Sowolayo empiima yo ondhite, abantu balobenga kundhogeraku bati mukazi n’eyandhita.” Kale omwisuka yaamufumita yaafa. 55Abaisiraeli bwe baabona nga Abimeleki afiire, bairayo ewaibwe boonaboona.
56Mu nsambo eyo, Katonda yeesasuuliza ku Abimeleki olw’omusango gwe yaiza ku ise ng’aita baganda be ensanvu. 57Katonda era yaabonereza abantu b’omu Shekemu olw’ekibi kyaibwe. Ni Yothamu, mutabane wa Gideoni, kye yakolima kyatuukirira.
