Tinzahoshe inyumba yaho. 2 U Yeftha ahabhawuzya, Ane na bhantu bhane tahali niwo igosi na bhana bha Amoni. Lwanahakwizizye, saga uhanokoye afume hwa bhene. 3 Lwanalola aje saganunokoye, nahabheha uwomi wane nenene ni ngovu zyane, nahashila ili akhomane na bhana bha Amoni, nu Mweene ahampela hubhamene.
