19Gideoni adaŵauza kuti, “Amene aja anali abale anga, ana a mai wanga. Ndikulumbira pamaso pa Chauta kuti, ‘Mukadapanda kuŵapha, inenso sindikadakuphani.’ ”

20Apo adauza Yetere, mwana wake wachisamba, kuti, “Tiye, ipha anthuŵa.” Koma mnyamatayo sadasolole lupanga lake pakuti ankaopa, chifukwa anali akali mnyamata.

23Koma Gideoni adaŵayankha kuti, “Ine sindidzakulamulirani, mwana wanganso sadzakulamulirani. Chauta ndiye amene adzakulamulirani.”
