1Eaba Abimeleke, mor’a Jerubaale, o ea Sikeme ho banab’abo ’m’ae, a bua le bona le lelapa lohle la ntlo ea ntat’ae, a re:
2“Ka hona, bua moo batho bohle ba Shikeme ba ntseng ba utloa, le re: ‘Ho molemo ho lōna ke hofe, hore ebe bara bohle ba Jerubaale ba mashome a tšeletseng ba le buse, kapa ho le buse a le mong? hape le hopole hore ke lesapo la lona le nama ya lona.
3Eaba barab’abo ’m ’ae ba bua mantsoe ana ’ohle a hae moo banna bohle ba Shikeme ba ntseng ba utloa, ’me lipelo tsa bona tsa sekamela ho latela Abimeleke; hobane ba ne ba re: Ke moena rona.
4Ba mo nea dishekele tse mashome a tsheletseng tsa silefera tsa ntlo ya Baale-Berithe, tseo ka tsona Abimeleke a neng a thapa banna ba lefeela, ba lefeela, hore ba mo sale morao.
5A ea ntlong ea ntat’ae Ofra ’me a bolaea barab’abo, bara ba Jerubaale, banna ba mashome a tšeletseng a metso e leshome, holim ’a lejoe le le leng; empa Jothame, mora e monyenyane wa Jerubaale, a sala; gonne o ne a iphitlhile.
6Banna bohle ba Shikeme le bohle ba ntlo ea Millo ba phutheha ’me ba ea ’me ba etsa Abimeleke morena sefateng sa lejoe la khopotso le Shikeme.
7Eitse hobane ba bolelle Jothame, yena a ya, a ema tlhōrōng ea Thaba ea Gerizime, a phahamisa lentsoe, a hoeletsa, a re ho bona: ’Mameleng, lōna baahi ba Sikeme, e le hore Molimo o tla le utloa.
8Ka nako e ’ngoe lifate tsa tsoa ho ea tlotsa morena oa tsona; mme ba re ho sefate sa mohlwaare: O re buse.
9Empa sefate sa mohloaare sa re ho tsona: “Na nka tlohela mafura a ka ao ba tlotlisang Molimo le batho ka ’ona, ’me ke ee ke okamele lifate?
10Yaba difate tsa re ho sefate sa feiye: Tloo, o re buse.
11Empa sefate sa feiye sa re ho tsona: Hleka ke tla tlohela monate wa ka le ditholwana tsa ka tse monate, ke ye ho okamela difate na?
12Eaba lifate tsa re ho sefate sa morara: Tloo, u re buse.
13Morara wa re ho tsona: Hleka ke tla tlohela veine ya ka e thabisang Modimo le batho, mme ke ye ke okamele difate na?
14Eaba lifate tsohle tsa re ho moutloa: Tloo, u re buse.
15Eaba sehlahla se re ho lifate: Haeba kannete le ntlotsa hore ke be morena oa lōna, le tle le tšepe moriti oa ka;
16Joale haeba le entse ka ’nete le ka ’nete ka ho bea Abimeleke morena, ’me haeba le entse Jerubaale le ntlo ea hae hantle ’me le mo entse ho ea ka seo matsoho a hae a se entseng;
17(Hobane Ntate o ile a le loanela ’me a beha bophelo ba hae kotsing hole, ’me a le pholosa matsohong a Midiane.
18Le tsohetse ba ntlo ea Ntate le bara ba hae kajeno, banna ba mashome a tšeletseng, ba bolailoeng holim ’a lejoe le le leng, ’me la etsa Abimeleke, mora oa lekhabunyane la hae, morena oa banna ba Sikeme, hobane ke mor’abo lōna;)
19Haeba kajeno le entse ka ’nete le ka ’nete le Jerubaale le ba ntlo ea hae, joale thabang ka Abimeleke, ’me le eena a ke a le thabele.
20Empa haeba ho se joalo, mollo o ke o tsoe ho Abimeleke ’me o chese banna ba Shikeme le ba ntlo ea Milo; mollo o ke o tsoe ho beng ba Sikeme le ba ntlo ea Millo, o chese Abimeleke.
21Joale Jothame a baleha ’me a baleha ’me a fihla Beere ’me a lula teng ka lebaka la ho tšaba Abimeleke mor’abo.
22Ha Abimeleke a busa Iseraele ka lilemo tse tharo.
23Eaba Molimo o romela moea o mobe pakeng tsa Abimeleke le banna ba Shikeme; mme beng ba Shekeme ba direla Abimeleke boferefere.
24E le hore sehlōhō se ileng sa etsoa ho bara ba mashome a supileng ba Jerubaale se tle ’me mali a bona a tle holim ’a Abimeleke mor’abo bona ea ileng a ba bolaea; le ka banna ba Sikeme ba ileng ba mo thusa ho bolaya bana babo.
25Banna ba Shikeme holim ’a lithaba ba mo etsetsa batho ba leshano ’me ba tlatlapa e mong le e mong ea neng a feta ka tsela, eaba Abimeleke o tlaleheloa sena.
26Joale Gaele mora oa Ebede a tla le barab’abo ’me ba ea Shikeme, ’me beng ba Shikeme ba ne ba mo tšepa.
27Kahoo ba tsoela pele ho ea tšimong ’me ba fula lirapa tsa bona tsa morara ’me ba hatakela morara ’me ba etsa thabo ’me ba kena ka tlung ea molimo oa bona ’me ba ja le ho noa ’me ba rohaka Abimeleke.
28Yaba Gaale, mora Ebede, o re: Abimeleke ke mang, le Sikeme ke mang, hore re mo sebeletse? Na hase mora oa Jerubaale? le Zebule tona ya hae? sebeletsang banna ba Hamore, ntata Sikeme, hobane re ka mo sebeletsa keng?
29Mme ha Modimo a ka bea setjhaba sena matsohong a ka! joale ke ne ke tla tlosa Abimeleke. Yaba o re ho Abimeleke: Eketsa lebotho la hao, o tswe.
30Eitse Sebule, morena oa motse, ha a utloa mantsoe a Gaele, mor’a Ebede, bohale ba hae ba tuka.
31A romela manqosa ho Abimeleke ka lekunutu, a re: Bona, Gaale, mora Ebede, le banababo ba tlile Sikeme; mme bona, ba tiisa motse ho o lwantsha.
32Joale tsoha bosiu, uena le batho bao u nang le bona, ’me u robale ’me u lebele naheng.
33Hoseng, hang ha letsatsi le chaba, u tsohe esale hoseng ’me u tšele motse; mme bonang, ekare ha yena le banna ba nang le yena ba o futuhela, le ka ba etsa kamoo le ka fumanang monyetla kateng.
34Joale Abimeleke le banna bohle ba neng ba e-na le eena ba tsoha bosiu ’me ba leta ka lihlopha tse ’nè khahlanong le Shikeme.
35Gaele, mora Ebede, a tswa, a ema monyako wa heke;
36Ha Gaale a bona batho, a re ho Sebule: “Bona, ho na le batho ba tsoang litlhōrōng tsa lithaba. Sebule a re ho yena: O bona meriti ya dithaba jwalokaha eka ke batho.
37Gaele a boela a bua, a re: Bona, batho ba theoha hara naha, mme letshwele le leng le tla le lebaleng la Meoneneme.
38Sebule a re ho yena: Jwale, molomo wa hao o kae, oo o itseng ka wona: Abimeleke ke mang, hore re mo sebeletse? Na hase bona batho bao o neng o ba nyedisa? ke a o rapela, o tswe jwale, o lwane le bona.
39Joale Gaale a tsoa ka pel’a banna ba Shikeme ’me a loantša Abimeleke.
40Abimeleke a mo lelekisa, ’me a baleha ka pel’a hae;
41Abimeleke a ’na a lula Aruma, ’me Zebule a leleka Gaale le barab’abo, e le hore ba se ke ba lula Shikeme.
42Letsatsing le hlahlamang batho ba tsoela naheng; mme ba tsebisa Abimeleke.
43A nka banna bao, a ba arola likarolo tse tharo, a robala tšimong, a talima, ’me a bona banna bao ba e-tsoa motseng; mme a ba tsohela matla, mme a ba hlola.
44Abimeleke le bongata bo neng bo e-na le eena ba potlaka ’me ba ema monyako oa heke ea motse; mme matshwele a mang a mabedi a mathela ho batho bohle ba neng ba le naheng, mme a ba bolaya.
45Abimeleke a lwana le motse letsatsi leo lohle; a hapa motse ’me a bolaea batho ba neng ba le ho oona ’me a ripitla motse ’me a o jala ka letsoai.
46Ha beng bohle ba tora ea Shikeme ba utloa sena, ba kena qhobosheaneng e lithaba ea ntlo ea molimo oa Berithe.
47Abimeleke a bolelloa hore banna bohle ba tora ea Shikeme ba phuthehile.
48Abimeleke a nyolohela Thabeng ea Salmone, eena le batho bohle ba neng ba e-na le eena; Abimeleke a nka selepe letsohong la hae, a rema lekala la lifate, a le nka, a le bea lehetleng la hae, a re ho batho ba nang le eena: Potlakang, seo le mponeng ke se etsa etsa kamoo ke entseng kateng.
49Ka ho tšoanang batho bohle ba rema e mong le e mong lekala la hae ’me ba latela Abimeleke ’me ba ba beha qhobosheaneng e lithabeng ’me ba chesa qhobosheane e holim ’a eona e lithaba; hoo le banna bohle ba tora ea Shikeme ba ileng ba shoa, banna le basali ba ka bang sekete.
50Joale Abimeleke a ea Thebese ’me a thibella Thebese ’me a e hapa.
51Empa ho ne ho e-na le tora e matla ka har’a motse, ’me banna bohle le basali le bohle ba motse ba balehela moo, ’me ba e koalla bakeng sa bona, ’me ba ikahela qhooeng ea tora.
52Abimeleke a tla toreng ’me a e loantša ’me a ea haufi le monyako oa tora hore a e chese ka mollo.
53Joale mosali e mong a akhela lejoe la leloala hloohong ea Abimeleke hoo a ileng a mo pshatla lehata.
54A phakisa a bitsa mohlankana wa mojari wa dihlomo tsa hae, a re ho yena: Pshemola sabole ya hao, o mpolaye, esere batho ba re ka nna: O bolailwe ke mosadi. Mme mohlankana wa hae a mo sututsa, mme a shwa.
55Eitse ha banna ba Iseraele ba bona hore Abimeleke o shoele, ba ea e mong le e mong sebakeng sa hae.
56Kahoo Modimo a phetetsa bobe ba Abimeleke boo a bo entseng ho ntat’ae ka ho bolaea barab’abo ba mashome a supileng.
57Modimo a busetsa bobe bohle ba banna ba Shikeme dihloohong tsa bona, mme thohako ya Jothame, mora Jerubaale, ya ba hodima bona.
