¹Zvino Joshua akamuka mangwanani, vakabva Shitimi, vakasvika paJoridhani, iye navana vaIsiraeri vose; vakavatapo vasati vayambuka.

¹Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo Shitiim way ka guureen, oo Webi Urdun yimaadeen, isagii iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo halkaasay degeen intaanay gudbin ka hor.

²Mazuva matatu akati apera, vatariri vakapinda napakati pemisasa,

²Oo saddex maalmood dabadeed saraakiishii xeraday dhex mareen,

³vakaraira vanhu, vachiti, Kana muchiona areka yesungano yaJehovha Mwari wenyu, navapristi vaRevhi voitakura, munofanira kusimuka pamugere, nokuitevera.

³oo waxay dadkii ku amreen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Markaad aragtaan sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, iyo wadaaddada reer Laawi oo isaga sida waa inaad meeshiinna ka guurtaan, oo daba gashaan isaga.

⁴Asi munofanira kusiya nzvimbo pakati penyu naiyo, inosvika makubhiti anenge zviuru zviviri; regai kuswedera kwairi, kuti muzive nzira yamunofanira kuenda nayo; nekuti mugere kumbofamba nenzira iyi.

⁴Oo weliba waa in meel bannaan oo qiyaasteedu dhan tahay laba kun oo dhudhun idiin dhexaysaa idinka iyo sanduuqa. Ha u soo dhowaanina isaga, si aad u ogaataan jidkii aad mari lahaydeen; waayo, idinku hadda ka hor ma aydaan marin jidkan.

⁵Zvino Joshua akati kuvanhu, Zvinatsei, nekuti mangwana Jehovha uchaita zvinoshamisa pakati penyu.

⁵Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Quduus iska dhiga, waayo, berri Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdiinna ku samayn doonaa waxyaalo yaab leh.

⁶Joshua akataura navapristi, akati, Simudzai areka yesungano, mutungamirire vanhu pakuyambuka. Ivo vakasimudza areka yesungano, vakatungamirira vanhu.

⁶Oo Yashuuca wadaaddadii buu la hadlay, oo ku yidhi, Sanduuqa axdiga qaada, oo dadka ka hor gudba. Kolkaasay waxay qaadeen sanduuqii axdiga, oo dadkiina way ka hor mareen.

⁷Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, Nhasi ndichatanga kukukudza pamberi pavaIsiraeri vose, vazive kuti ndichava newe, sezvandaisiva naMozisi.

⁷Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Maantaan bilaabayaa inaan kugu weyneeyo reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, inay ogaadaan in sidii aan Muuse ula jiray, aan adigana kuula jiri doono.

⁸Iwe unofanira kuraira vapristi kuti vatakure areka yesungano, uchiti, Kana masvika parutivi rwemvura yaJoridhani, munofanira kumira muJoridhani.

⁸Oo waa inaad amartaa wadaaddada sanduuqa axdiga sida, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markii aad gaadhaan biyaha Webi Urdun qarkooda waa inaad Webi Urdun isdhex taagtaan.

⁹Zvino Joshua akati kuvana vaIsiraeri, Uyai pano, munzwe mashoko aJehovha Mwari wenyu.

⁹Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Kaalaya halkan, oo maqla erayada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

¹⁰Joshua akati, Muchaziva nechinhu ichi kuti Mwari mupenyu uri pakati penyu, uye kuti uchadzinga zvirokwazvo pamberi penyu vaKanani, navaHeti, navaHivhi, navaPerezi, navaGirigashi, navaAmori, navaJebhusi.

¹⁰Oo Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, Sidan baad ku ogaan doontaan in Ilaaha nool idin dhex joogo, iyo inuu shakila'aan hortiinna ka eryi doono reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Yebuus.

¹¹Tarirai, areka yesungano yaIshe wenyika yose inokutungamirirai pakuyambuka Joridhani.

¹¹Bal eega, Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan sanduuqiisii axdiga ayaa idin hor maraya xagga Webi Urdun dhexdiisa.

¹²Naizvozvo zvino muzvitorerei varume vane gumi navaviri pamarudzi ose avaIsiraeri, mumwe mumwe parudzi rumwe norumwe.

¹²Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed laba iyo toban nin ka soo bixiya qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil, qabiil walba nin.

¹³Zvino kana tsoka dzavapristi vanotakura areka yaJehovha, Ishe wenyika yose dzichitsika mumvura yaJoridhani, mvura yaJoridhani ichagurwa, iyo mvura inobva kumusoro; ichamira, ikaita murwi mukuru.

¹³Oo markii wadaaddada sida sanduuqa Rabbiga ah Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan ay calaacalaha cagahoodu taabtaan biyaha Webi Urdun, ayaa biyaha Webi Urdun kala go'i doonaan, kuwaasoo ah biyaha kor ka imanaya, oo markaasay meel istaagi doonaan iyagoo tuulan.

¹⁴Zvino vanhu vakati vachibva pamatende avo, kuti vayambuke Joridhani, vapristi vaitakura areka vakatungamirira vanhu;

¹⁴Oo markii dadku ka tegey teendhooyinkooda si ay Webi Urdun uga gudbaan aawadeed, iyadoo ay ka horreeyaan wadaaddada sida sanduuqii axdiga,

¹⁵zvino vakanga vakatakura areka vakati vachisvika paJoridhani, netsoka dzavapristi vakanga vakatakura areka dzichinyikwa pamucheto wemvura (nokuti Joridhani runofashamira nhivi dzarwo dzose nguva yose yokukohwa,)

¹⁵oo markii kuwa sanduuqa sida ay soo gaadheen Webi Urdun, oo wadaaddada sida sanduuqa ay cagahoodu galeen biyaha qarkooda, (waayo, xilliga waxgoosashada oo dhan Webi Urdun qararkiisa oo dhan buu buuxdhaafaa)

¹⁶mvura yakanga ichibva kumusoro ikamira, ikaita murwi mukuru, kusvikira kure-kure paAdhama, guta riri kurutivi rweZaretani; neyakanga ichiyerera kugungwa reArabha, ndiro Gungwa roMunyu, yakagurwa chose; vanhu vakayambuka pakatarisana neJeriko.

¹⁶ayay biyaha kor ka imanayay istaageen, iyagoo tuulan, oo meel aad u fog bay istaageen oo u dhow magaalada la yidhaahdo Aadaam oo ku ag taal Saaretaan. Kuwii hoos u kacay xagga badda Caraabaah, taasoo ah Badda Cusbada leh, iyana kulligood waa go'een; oo dadkii wuxuu u gudbay meel ku toosan Yerixoo.Oo wadaaddadii siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga waxay istaageen dhul engegan oo Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku gudbeen dhul engegan, ilaa ay quruuntii oo dhammu ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun.

¹⁷Vapristi vakanga vakatakura areka yesungano yaJehovha vakaramba vamire pasi pakaoma pakati paJoridhani; vaIsiraeri vose vakayambuka pavhu rakaoma kusvikira rudzi rwose rwapedza kuyambuka Joridhani.

¹⁷Oo wadaaddadii siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga waxay istaageen dhul engegan oo Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku gudbeen dhul engegan, ilaa ay quruuntii oo dhammu ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun.
