6Joshua akataura navapristi, akati, Simudzai areka yesungano, mutungamirire vanhu pakuyambuka. Ivo vakasimudza areka yesungano, vakatungamirira vanhu.
6 Yasuwa ye ka salaŋ alfagey se ka ne: «Wa sappa sundurko sambu ka daŋandi jama jine.» I binde na sappa sundurko sambu ka furo jama jine.
7Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, Nhasi ndichatanga kukukudza pamberi pavaIsiraeri vose, vazive kuti ndichava newe, sezvandaisiva naMozisi.

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