¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naJoshua, akati,

¹¶ Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ka mea,

²Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Muzvitsaurire maguta outiziro, andakakuudzai nomuromo waMozisi;

²Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Whakaritea e koutou etahi pa whakaora, ko aku i korero ai, na Mohi i whakapuaki ki a koutou:

³kuti munhu wakauraya mumwe nokusaziva kana asina kuita nobwoni, atizirepo; achava kwamuri utiziro pamutsivi weropa.

³Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i patu nei i tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, ehara i te mea ata whakaaro: a ka waiho hei whakaora mo koutou, kei mate i te kaitakitaki toto.

⁴Anofanira kutizira kune rimwe ramaguta iwayo, agondomira panopindwa napo pasuwo reguta, agoreva mhosva yake panzeve dzavakuru veguta iro; ipapo vanofanira kumugamuchira pakati pavo muguta, vamupe pokugara, agogara pakati pavo.

⁴A ka rere ia ki tetahi o enei pa, ka tu i te kuwaha o te tomokanga o te pa, na ka korero i ana korero ki nga taringa o nga kaumatua o tena pa; a me tango atu ia e ratou ki roto ki te pa, ki roto ki a ratou, ka homai he wahi ki a ia, a ka noho ia ki a ratou.

⁵Zvino kana mutsivi weropa achinge amutevera, haafaniri kuisa muurayi paruoko rwake, nekuti wakauraya wokwake asingaiti nobwoni, asina kumuvenga kare.

⁵A, ki te whaia atu ia e te kaitakitaki toto, kaua e tukua atu te tangata whakamate e ratou ki tona ringa; no te mea ehara i te mea ata whakaaro tana patunga i tona hoa, kihai ano ia i kino ki a ia i mua ake.

⁶Zvino iye anofanira kugara muguta iro, kusvikira amira pamberi peungano atongwe, kusvikira pakufa komupristi mukuru uchavapo namazuva iwayo; ipapo muurayi anofanira kudzoka, aende kuguta rake nokumba kwake, kuguta kwaakanga atiza.

⁶Engari me noho ia ki taua pa, kia tu ra ano ia ki mua i te whakaminenga whakawakia ai, a kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga o aua ra: ko reira hoki ai te tangata whakamate, haere ai ki tona pa, ki tona whare hoki, ki te pa i rere atu nei ia i reira

⁷Ipapo vakatsaura Kedheshi muGarirea panyika yamakomo yaNafutari, neShemi, panyika yamakomo yaEfuremu, neKiriati-abha (ndiro Zebhuroni) panyika yamakomo yaJudha.

⁷¶ Na ka whakatapua e ratou ko Kerehe i Kariri, i te whenua pukepuke o Napatari, ko Hekeme i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ko Kiriata Arapa, ara ko Heperona, i te whenua pukepuke o Hura.

⁸Nemhiri kwaJoridhani paJeriko kumabvazuva vakatsaura Bhezeri murenje pabani kurudzi rwaRubheni, neRamoti muGiriyadhi kurudzi rwaGadhi, neGorani muBhashani kurudzi rwaManase.

⁸Na i tawahi o Horano, i te wahi e anga ana ki Heriko whaka te rawhiti ka whakaritea e ratou ko Petere i te koraha i te mania, no te iwi o Reupena, ko Ramoto i Kireara, no te iwi o Kara, ko Korana hoki i Pahana, no te iwi o Manahi.

⁹Ndiwo maguta akatsaurirwa vana vaIsiraeri, vose navatorwa vaigara pakati pavo, kuti ani naani unouraya munhu nokusaziva atizireko, arege kufa noruoko rwomutsivi weropa, kusvikira amira pamberi peungano.

⁹Ko nga pa enei i whakaritea mo nga tama katoa a Iharaira, mo te manene hoki e noho ana i roto i a ratou, hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata katoa i whakamatea ai tetahi tangata, he mea urupa, kei mate i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, kia tu ra ano i mua i te whakaminenga.
