¹Zvino madzimambo ose avaAmori, akanga agere mhiri kwaJoridhani kumavirazuva, namadzimambo ose avaKanani, akanga agere pagungwa, akati achinzwa kuti Jehovha wakapwisa mvura yaJoridhani pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri, kusvikira tayambuka, moyo yavo ikavhunduka, vakasazova nomweya mukati mavo, nokuda kwavana vaIsiraeri.

¹Oo boqorradii reer Amor oo dhan oo joogay Webi Urdun xaggiisa shishe oo galbeed, iyo boqorradii reer Kancaan oo dhan oo badda dhinaceeda degganaa, markay maqleen sida Rabbigu biyihii Webi Urdun u engejiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ilaa aannu soo wada gudubnay, ayay wada dhalaaleen, oo xoog dambena kuma jirin, reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.

²Nenguva iyo Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, Uzviitire mapanga amabwe anopinza, udzingisezve vana vaIsiraeri.

²Oo markaasuu Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Waxaad samaysaa mindiyo dhagax adag ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil haddana ku gud mar labaad.

³Joshua akazviitira mapanga amabwe anopinza, akadzingisa vana vaIsiraeri pachikomo chezvikanda zvapamberi.

³Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu samaystay mindiyo dhagax adag ah, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku guday meel la yidhi Buurta Buuryada.

⁴Joshua akavadzingisa nemhaka iyi, nekuti vanhurume vose vakanga vabuda Egipita, ivo varume vehondo, vakanga vafira panzira murenje pakubuda kwavo Egipita.

⁴Oo Yashuuca sababtii uu u gudayna waxay ahayd sidan: dadkii dalkii Masar ka soo baxay oo dhammu, intii labka ahayd, xataa raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammuba waxay ku dhinteen cidlada intay jidka ku jireen markay Masar ka soo bexeen dabadeed.

⁵nekuti vanhu vose vakabuda Egipita vakanga vadzingiswa; asi vanhu vose vakanga vaponerwa murenje panzira pakubuda kwavo Egipita, vakanga vasina kudzingiswa.

⁵Oo dadkii soo baxay oo dhammu way gudnaayeen; laakiinse kulli dadkii cidlada ku dhashay intay jidka ku jireen markay Masar ka soo bexeen dabadeed, kuwaas lama gudin.

⁶nekuti vana vaIsiraeri vakafamba makore ana makumi mana murenje, kusvikira rudzi rwose, ivo varume vehondo vakanga vabuda Egipita, vaparadzwa, nekuti havana kuteerera inzwi raJehovha, Jehovha akapika kwavari kuti haangavaonesi nyika, yaakanga apikira madzibaba avo, kuti uchatipa iyo, iri nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.

⁶Waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay cidlada dhex socdeen afartan sannadood, ilaa quruuntii oo dhan ay ka dhammaadeen xataa raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo Masar ka soo baxay oo dhammu, waayo, waxay maqli waayeen codkii Rabbiga; kuwaas oo Rabbigu ugu dhaartay inaanu u oggolaanayn inay arkaan dalkii Rabbigu ugu dhaartay awowayaashood inuu annagana siin doono, dalkaas oo ah dal caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan.

⁷Zvino vana vavo vaakanga amutsa panzvimbo yavo, ndivo vakadzingiswa naJoshua; nekuti vakanga vasina kudzingiswa, zvavakanga vasina kudzingiswa panzira.

⁷Oo carruurtoodii oo uu Rabbigu meeshoodii ka kiciyey, ayaa Yashuuca guday; maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen buuryoqab, waayo, jidka laguma soo gudin.

⁸Zvino vakati vapedza kudzingisa rudzi rwose, vakagara pavakanga vari pamisasa kusvikira vapora.

⁸Oo markay quruuntii oo dhan wada gudeen, waxay iska joogeen meelahoodii ahaa xerada dhexdeeda ilaa ay ka bogsadeen.

⁹Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, Nhasi ndabvisa kwamuri kuzvidzwa kwamakazvidzwa nako navaEgipita. Naizvozvo nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Girigari, kusvikira nhasi.

⁹Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Maantaan idinka rogay ceebtii Masar, oo sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa lagu magacaabaa Gilgaal.

¹⁰Vana vaIsiraeri vakavaka misasa yavo paGirigari, vakadya Pasika pazuva regumi namana romwedzi madekwana, pamapani eJeriko.

¹⁰Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay degeen Gilgaal; oo bisha maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaad markay fiidkii ahayd ayay bannaankii Yerixoo ku sameeyeen Iiddii Kormaridda.

¹¹Nomusi uyo, uri musi wakatevera Pasika, vakadya zvibereko zvenyika iyo, zvingwa zvisina kuviriswa pamwechete nehura dzakakangwa nomusi iwoyo.

¹¹Oo maalintii Iidda Kormaridda ka dambaysay waxay cuneen hadhuudhkii dalkii ka baxay, kaas oo ahaa kibis aan khamiir lahayn, iyo hadhuudh la dubay, maalintaas qudheeda.

¹²mana*ikaguma nomusi wakatevera uyo wavakadya nawo zvibereko zvenyika iyo; vana vaIsiraeri havana kuzova nemanazve, asi vakadya zvibereko zvenyika yeKanani gore irero.

¹²Oo maannadiina maalintii dambe ayay ka joogsatay, markay cuneen hadhuudhkii dalkii ka baxay dabadeed, oo reer binu Israa'iilna ma ay helin maanna dambe, laakiinse sannaddaas waxay cuneen midhihii dalkii Kancaan ka baxay.

¹³Zvino Joshua wakati ari Jeriko akasimudza meso ake, akatarira, akaona murume amire pakatarisana naye, akabata munondo wake wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake; Joshua akenda kwaari, akati kwaari, Uri mumwe wedu here, kana wavavengi vedu?

¹³Oo markii Yashuuca joogay Yerixoo agteeda ayuu indhihiisa kor u taagay oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay nin isaga ka soo hor jeeda oo seeftiisii oo gal la' gacanta ku haysta. Markaasaa Yashuuca intuu u tegey ku yidhi, War ma annagaad nala gees tahay mise colkayagaad la gees tahay?

¹⁴Iye akati, Kwete, asi ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaJehovha. Ipapo Joshua akawira pasi nechiso chake, akanamata kwaari, akati kwaari, Ishe wangu unoreveiko kumuranda wake?

¹⁴Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya; laakiinse waxaan haatan u imid inaan madax u ahaado ciidanka Ilaah. Markaasaa Yashuuca wejigiisii dhulka saaray, wuuna sujuuday, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, maxaad anoo addoonkaaga ah igu odhan lahayd?Markaasaa kii ciidanka Rabbiga madax u ahaa wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Kabtaada iska siib, waayo, meeshaad ku taagan tahay waa quduus. Oo Yashuucana sidaasuu yeelay.

¹⁵Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akati kuna Joshua, Bvisa shangu yako parutsoka rwako, nekuti paumire patsvene; Joshua akaita saizvozvo.

¹⁵Markaasaa kii ciidanka Rabbiga madax u ahaa wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Kabtaada iska siib, waayo, meeshaad ku taagan tahay waa quduus. Oo Yashuucana sidaasuu yeelay.
