U Yoshua ayibhala kabula yaho, hansi uYahwe shayanjile. ⁴ U Yahwe ayiwomba humwawo hansi shawombile wha Sihoni na wha Ogu, amwenne bhi Waamori, na honse yawo, yayiteketezezye. ⁵ U Yahwe ayihupela uwushindi pamwanya yawo lwawayitangana anawo huwite, nawe wayiwomba hu mwawo gonti gimbahuwozye. ⁶ Ubhe hodari nu dandamazu uwinza, ungajeahogope, na usawogope; kwa maana uYahwe Ungolobhe waho, yoyo wabhala shusele awe; sagaahugwisya wala huleshe." ⁷ U Musa akwizya uYoshua na amozya pamaso gi Israeli gonti, "Ubhe hodari nu dandamazu uwinza, afwatanaje ubhasogole ne abhantu hunse ya Yahwe alapile wha babu bhawo hubhapele; ubhawombe bhayipyane. ⁸ U Yahwe, umwene yoyo ayibhala kabula yaho; ayibha pamoja nawe; sagayihugwisya wala sagaayihuteketezya; ungajehogope, ungajebudushe umoyo." ⁹ U Musa asimbile indajizyo ene nahubhapele aputi, abhana bha Lawi, bhabhawosezya ibokosi li agano lya Yahwe; tena agabhile inakala zyakwe wha zehe wonti bhi Israeli. ¹⁰ U Musa abhawozezye na yanje, "Wha kila umwisho wi maha saba, humuda wuwubheshewelwe wa khale kwa ajili yafute amiga, hu Sikulukulu yi Vibanda, ¹¹ ambapo Iisraeli yonti iyenzele hujilolesye whilongolela lya Yahwe Ungolobhe waho pamuhali panzasalule abhe pafinjile pakwe, ubhabhazye indajizyo ene whilongolela li Israeli wonti bhevwe. ¹² Wonganya abhantu, alume, abhashe, n bhadodo, nu jenu waho wali miongoni munylango gwaho, ili awezye awhevwe na manyile, na ili aje abhe ni nshinshi wha Yahwe Ungolobhe waho na leme amazu gonti gi ndajizyo ene. ¹³ Womba eshi ili aje abhana bhawo, bhasagabhamenye, bhawezye ahevwe na manyile humweshimu uYahwe Ungolobhe waho, nkesho ukhala hanse yubhabhale pamwanya yi Yordani ahuyitabhale." ¹⁴ U Yahwe amozezye uMusa, "Enya, isiku liwhenza lilazima ubhafwe; kwizye uYoshua na shihilisye mushegu shi luwongano, ili aje imbweze ahubhapele iamri. " U Musa nu Yoshua bhasogoye na hujidhilisye mushegu shi luwongano. ¹⁵ U Yahwe ajigubuye mushegu hulunyoha lwe bhengo; inyoha yi bhengo yahemeleye pamwanya yi nylango gwi shegu. ¹⁶ U Yahwe amozezye uMusa , "Enya, wayigona na baba bhaho; abhantu ebha bhanzawoshe na hujiwombe hansi amalaya na bhale wha ngolobhe bhi mayele bhbhaleho mumyongoni mwawo hunse lwa bhabhala. Bhanzahundeshe na budule iagano lyane lindiwombile anawo. ¹⁷ Basi hunsiku eyo, inkuni yane yayiwhaha dhidi yawo nane nayihubhaleha. Nayifisa amaso gane humwawo nape bhayimilwa. Ufwe na mayemba aminji gayihubhaga ili bhayanje whisiku elyo, "Ufwe owu sagawenzele humwetu kwa sababu Ungolobhe nomo pakasi yetu?

Ubheshe mwilomu mwawo, ili aje ulembo olu luwezye abhe simisizi huline dhidi y abhanu bhi Israeli. ²⁰ Kwa maana lwanayihubhaleta hunse yanalapile wha babu bhawo, anse yiwhitia izibha nu woshi, na lwabhayilya na tengane na nenepe, epo pabhayigeushila angolobhe abhamwawo nabhayihubhatumishila nayihunsyoshela na budule iagano lyane. ²¹ Imbibhi na mayemba aminji lwagayihenza pamwanya ya bhantu ebha, ola ulwembo lwayisimisizya whilongolela lyawo (kwa maana sagalwayihewa mwilomu lulupapo lwawo). Kwa maana emenye amipango gabhagomba ilelo, hata shinsele ahubhalete hunse yanabhasobhezezye. ²² Whesho uMusa asimbile olu ulwembo isiku elyo elyo nahubhamanyizye abhantu bhi Israeli. ²³ U Yahwe apiye uYoshua umwana wa Nuni iamri na yanje, "Ubhe mujuzi nu wujasiri uwinza; kwa mana wayihubhaleta abhantu bhi Israeli hunse yanalapile humwawo, nane nayibha pamoja nawe." ²⁴ Yafumiye aje uMusa lwamala asimbe amazu gindajizyo ene mushitabu, ²⁵ abhawozezye Alawi bhawosye ibokosi liagano lya Yahwe, na yanje, ²⁶ "Ega ishitabu eshi shindajizyo na ushibheshe hunshenje mwibokosi liagano lya Yahwe Ungolobhe wenyu, ili shiwezye abhe pala hansi uwusimisizi dhidi yenyu. ²⁷ Maana imenye uwu asi wenyu ni nsingo zyenyu ihome; enya, maadamu endeho momi pamoja namwe hata ilelo, muli bhaasi dhidi ya Yahwe inzabhe wele baada yane afwe? ²⁸ Mbonganisizye abhazehe wonti bhimakabela genyu, na maafisa bhenyu ili injanje amazu ega mumakutu gawo na huzikwizye imwanya nense asimisizye dhidi yawo. ²⁹ Kwa maana imenye baada yifwe wane mwayihujinanganya kabisa na geushe hulileshe idala lyanabhwozezye; infwa gayihubhaga hunsiku ziziwhanza. Ega gayifumila kwa sababu mwayiwomba gagali mabhibhi pamaso ga Yahwe, ili huchokozye hu nkuni hunyobhe zimbombo zyenyu." ³⁰ U Musa ayanjile mumakutu giluwongano lyonti li Israeli amazu gonti gilwembo olu hadi lwa ga kamilishe.
