2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
2 Haya, neneni tafadhali masikioni mwa waume wote wa Shekemu, mkaulize, Je! Ni lipi lililo jema kwenu, kwamba hao wana wa Yerubaali wote, ambao ni watu sabini, watawale juu yenu, au kwamba mtu mmoja atawale juu yenu? Tena kumbukeni ya kwamba mimi ni mfupa na nyama yenu.
