¹Zvino Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni, wakatuma varume vaviri pakavanda, vachibva Shitimi, kuti vandoshora, achiti, Endai mundotarira nyika neJeriko. Vakaenda, vakapinda muimba yechifeve, chainzi Rakabhi, vakavatapo.

¹Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun wuxuu Shitiim si qarsoon uga diray laba nin oo basaasyo ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal taga oo soo ilaaleeya dalka iyo magaalada Yerixoo. Markaasay tageen, oo waxay galeen guri naag dhillo ah oo magaceeda la odhan jiray Raxab, oo halkaasay jiifsadeen.

²Zvino mambo weJeriko akaudzwa, zvichinzi, Tarirai, varume vavana vaIsiraeri vakapinda muno usiku huno kuzoshora nyika.

²Oo markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Niman reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa caawa magaalada yimid si ay dalka u ilaaleeyaan.

³Zvino mambo weJeriko akatuma shoko kuna Rakabhi, akati, Budisa varume vakasvika kwauri, vapinda mumba mako, nekuti vauya kuzoshora nyika yose.

³Markaasaa boqorkii Yerixoo cid u diray Raxab, oo ku yidhi, Soo bixi nimankii kuu yimid oo gurigaaga galay, waayo, waxay u yimaadeen si ay dalka oo dhan u ilaaleeyaan.

⁴Mukadzi akatora varume avo vaviri, akavavanza, akati, Hongu, varume vakasvika havo kwandiri, asi ndakanga ndisingazivi kuti vaibvepi.

⁴Laakiin naagtii mar horay kaxaysay labadii nin, wayna qarisay; oo waxay tidhi, Haah, nimankii waa ii yimaadeen, laakiinse ma aan garanaynin meel ay ka yimaadeen,

⁵Zvino nenguva yokupfigwa kwesuwo, kwasviba, varume vakabudazve; kwavakazoenda ivo varume, ini handikuzivi; kurumidzai kuvatevera, nekuti mungandovabata.

⁵oo markii iridda la xidhi lahaa oo ay gudcur noqotay ayay nimankii baxeen. Meeshii nimankii tageenna anigu garan maayo; haddaba dhaqso u raacdeeya, waayo, waad gaadhi karaysaan.

⁶Asi wakange avakwidza pamusoro pedenga, akavavanza pasi povutanda hwamasosoori, hwakanga hwakarongwa naye padenga.

⁶Laakiinse waxay iyagii keentay saqafkii dushiisa, oo waxay ku qarisay caws linen la yidhaahdo oo ay qummaati ugu dhigtay saqafka dushiisa.

⁷Varume vakavateverera nenzira inoenda Joridhani, kusvikira kumazambuko; zvino vakavatevera vakati vabuda, suwo rikazarirwa.

⁷Nimankiina markaasay u raacdaysteen xagga Webi Urdun ilaa meeshii laga gudbi jiray; oo isla markii kuwii iyaga raacdaynayay baxeen ayaa iriddii la xidhay.

⁸Zvino vachigere kuvata, Rakabhi ndokukwira kwavari pamusoro pedenga,

⁸Oo intaanay seexan ka hor ayaa naagtii saqafkii ugu timid iyagii,

⁹akati kuvarume, Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha wakakupai nyika, tinokutyai kwazvo, vanhu vose vagere munyika vavhunduka pamberi penyu.

⁹oo waxay nimankii ku tidhi, Anigu waan ogahay in Rabbigu dalka idin siiyey, oo cabsidiinnii baa nagu dhacday, iyo in kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu ay hortiinna ku dhalaaleen.

¹⁰Nekuti takanzwa kuti Jehovha wakapwisa mvura yeGungwa Dzvuku pamberi penyu, nguva yokubuda kwenyu Egipita, nezvamakaitira madzimambo maviri avaAmori, vakanga vari mhiri kwaJoridhani, ivo Sihoni naOgi, vamakaparadza chose.

¹⁰Waayo, waxaannu maqalnay sidii Rabbigu hortiinna uga engejiyey biyihii Badda Cas, markii aad Masar ka soo baxdeen, iyo wixii aad ku samayseen labadii boqor oo Siixon iyo Coog oo ahaa reer Amor, ee joogay Webi Urdun shishadiisa, oo aad wada baabbi'iseen.

¹¹Zvino pakarepo takati tichinzwa izvozvo moyo yedu ikavhunduka, hakuna munhu uchinokutsunga pamoyo pake nokuda kwenyu, nekuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu, ndiye Mwari kudenga kumusoro napanyika pasi.

¹¹Oo isla markii aannu maqalnay ayaannu dhalaalnay, oo idinka daraaddiin ninna xoog kuma hadhin; maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu waa Ilaaha samada sare iyo dhulka hooseba jooga.

¹²Naizvozvo zvino ndipikirei henyu naJehovha, kuti zvandakakuitirai zvakanaka, nemiwo muchaitira imba yababa vangu zvakanaka; mundipeiwo chiratidzo chakasimba,

¹²Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waan idin baryayaaye, Rabbiga iigu dhaarta inaad reerka aabbahay ugu roonaanaysaan sidaan idiinku roonaaday oo kale, oo i siiya calaamo run ah;

¹³kuti muchararamisa baba vangu namai vangu nehanzvadzi dzangu navanin'ina vangu, nezvose zvavanazvo, nokurwira upenyu bwedu parufu.

¹³iyo inaad badbaadinaysaan aabbahay, iyo hooyaday, iyo walaalahay, iyo waxay haystaan oo dhan, iyo inaad naftayada dhimasho ka samatabbixinaysaan.

¹⁴Ipapo varume vakati kwaari, Isu ngatife panzvimbo yenyu, kana musingabudisi pachena basa redu iri; kana Jehovha achitipa nyika iyi, tichakuitira zvakanaka nechokwadi.

¹⁴Markaasaa nimankii waxay naagtii ku yidhaahdeen, Naftayadu waxay u bixi doontaa tiinna, haddaydnan sheegin xaalkayaga, oo markii Rabbigu dalka na siiyo roonaan iyo daacadnimo ayaannu kugula macaamiloon doonnaa.

¹⁵Ipapo akavaburusira pasi nebote napahwindo, nekuti imba yake yakanga iri pamusoro porusvingo rweguta, naiye wakange agere pamusoro porusvingo.

¹⁵Kolkaasay xadhig daaqadda kaga dhex dejisay, waayo, gurigeedu wuxuu ku yiil magaalada derbigeeda, oo waxay degganayd derbiga dushiisa.

¹⁶Akati kwavari, Tizirai henyu kumakomo, kuti vateveri verege kusangana nemi, muvandepo mazuva matatu, kusvikira vateveri vadzoka; pashure mungaenda henyu.

¹⁶Oo waxay iyagii ku tidhi, Buurta xaggeeda taga, yaan raacdadu idin heline, oo intii saddex maalmood ah halkaas ku dhuunta, ilaa ay raacdadu ka soo noqonayso; dabadeedna jidkiinna iska mara.

¹⁷Zvino varume vakati kwaari, Hatingasungwi nemhiko yako iyi yawakatipikisa.

¹⁷Kolkaasaa nimankii waxay iyadii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, annagu eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadan aad nagu dhaarisay.

¹⁸Tarira, nguva yatinopinda panyika ino, unofanira kusungira bote iri dzvuku rakakoshwa pahwindo pawakatiburusira pasi napo; unofanirawo kuunganidza mumba mako baba vako, namai vako, nehanzvadzi dzako, navose veimba yababa vako.

¹⁸Markii aannu dalka nimaadno, xadhiggan dunta guduudan ah waa inaad ku xidhaa daaqaddii aad naga dejisay. Oo waa inaad guriga gudihiisa ku soo urursataa aabbahaa, iyo hooyadaa, iyo walaalahaa, iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhan.

¹⁹Zvino ani naani unobuda kunze kwemikova yeimba yako, ropa rake richava pamusoro pomusoro wake, asi isu hatingavi nemhosva; ani naani unewe mumba mako, ropa rake richava pamusoro pemisoro yedu, kana akaitirwa zvakaipa noruoko rwomunhu.

¹⁹Oo waxay ahaan doontaa, in ku alla kii ka baxa albaabbada gurigaaga oo jidka maraba, uu dhiiggiisu ahaan doono dushiisa, oo annana aannan eed ku yeelanaynin, iyo in ku alla kii guriga kugula jira haddii far la saaro, uu dhiiggiisu dushayada ahaan doono.

²⁰Asi kana ukabudisa pachena basa redu iri, isu hatingasungwi nemhiko yako yawakatipikisa.

²⁰Laakiinse haddaad xaalkayaga sheegto, de markaas eed kuma yeelan doonno dhaartaadii aad nagu dhaarisay.

²¹Iye akati, Ngazviitwe sezvamakataura; akavaendesa, vakabva, iye ndokusungira bote dzvuku pahwindo.

²¹Kolkaasay waxay ku tidhi, Sidaad tidhaahdeen ha ahaato. Kolkaasay iska dirtay, oo iyana way ka tageen; markaasay xadhiggii guduudnaa daaqaddii ku xidhay.

²²Ivo vakaenda, vakasvika kumakomo, vakagarapo mazuva matatu, kusvikira vateveri vadzoka; vateveri vakavatsvaka panzira iyo yose, asi havana kuvawana.

²²Kolkaasay tageen, oo waxay yimaadeen buurtii, oo halkaasay saddex maalmood joogeen, ilaa ay raacdadii ka soo noqotay; oo raacdadiina jidka oo dhan bay ka doondooneen, laakiinse ma ay helin.

²³Zvino varume avo vaviri vakadzoka, vakaburuka pamakomo, vakayambuka, vakasvikazve kuna Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni; vakamuudza zvose zvavakanga vaitirwa.

²³Markaasaa labadii nin noqdeen; buurtii bay ka degeen, oo intay webigii gudbeen ayay u yimaadeen Yashuuca ina Nuun; kolkaasay u sheegeen wixii ku dhacay oo dhan.Oo waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Sida runta Rabbigu dalka oo dhan gacmaheennuu geliyey, oo weliba, kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu horteenay ku dhalaalayaan kulligood.

²⁴Vakati kuna Joshua, Zvirokwazvo, Jehovha wakaisa nyika yose mumaoko edu; uye vanhu vose vagere panyika iyo vavhunduka pamberi pedu.

²⁴Oo waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Sida runta Rabbigu dalka oo dhan gacmaheennuu geliyey, oo weliba, kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu horteenay ku dhalaalayaan kulligood.
