5 Waati kaŋ cine i na karyaŋo kuukandi, waati kaŋ araŋ mo maa hilley kaatiyaŋey, kala jama kulu ma ngey jindey tunandi nda gaabi ka kuuwa. Birno cinaro mo ga kaŋ, jama kulu mo ga kaaru, boro kulu nga jine tak-tak.»
6Zvino Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni, akadana vapristi, akati kwavari, Simudzai areka yesungano, vapristi vanomwe vafambe vakabata hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe pamberi peareka yaJehovha.
6 Yasuwa Nun izo binde na alfagey ce ka ne i se: «Wa sappa sundurko sambu. Alfaga iyye mo ma feeji hilli iyye sambu. I ma furo Rabbi sundurko jine.»
7Akati kuvanhu, Pfuurai, mupoteredze guta, varume vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vatungamirire areka yaJehovha.

8Zvino Joshua wakati ataura navanhu, vapristi vanomwe vakatungamira vakabata hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe, vakaridza hwamanda, areka yesungano yaJehovha ikavatevera.
8 Saaya kaŋ cine Yasuwa salaŋ jama se binde, kala alfaga* iyye kaŋ yaŋ go ga feeji hilli iyya gaay Rabbi jine, i bisa ka furo jina ka hilley kar. Rabbi sappa sundurko mo go g'i banda gana.

10Zvino Joshua akaraira vanhu, akati, Regai kudanidzira, namanzwi enyu ngaarege kunzwika, kana shoko rimwe ngarirege kubuda pamiromo yenyu, kusvikira pamusi wandinokurairai kuti mudanidzire; ipapo munofanira kudanidzira.
10 Yasuwa na borey lordi ka ne: «Araŋ ma si kuuwa, araŋ ma si ta i ma maa araŋ jindey mo. Sanni fo kulu mo ma si fun araŋ meyey ra, kala han kaŋ hane ay ci araŋ se ka ne: ‹Wa kuuwa!› A gaa no araŋ ga kuuwa.»
11Naizvozvo wakaraira kuti areka yaJehovha ipoteredze guta, iripoteredze kamwe chete; vanhu vakapindazve mumisasa, vakavatamo.
11 Kala Yasuwa na Rabbi sundurko daŋ a ma birno casu. A n'a casu sorro fo ka ye ka kaa gata ra ka zumbu.
12Joshua akamuka mangwanani, vapristi vakasimudza areka yaJehovha.
12 Yasuwa tun za susubay da hinay, alfagey mo na Rabbi sundurko sambu.
13Navapristi vanomwe vakanga vakabata hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe pamberi peareka yaJehovha, vakaramba vachifamba vachingoridza hwamanda; navarume vakanga vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vakavatungamirira; navarindi veshure vakatevera areka yaJehovha, vapristi vakafamba vachingoridza hwamanda.

15Nomusi wechinomwe vakafumira mangwanani, vakapoteredza guta nomutowo iwoyo kanomwe; nomusi iwoyochetevakapoteredza guta kanomwe.
15 A ciya mo, zaari iyyanta hane, i tun da hinay za mo boyaŋ. I na birno casu alhaali woodin boŋ hala sorro iyye. Zaari woodin hinne no i na birno casu sorro iyye.
16Zvino panguva yechinomwe, vapristi vakati vachiridza hwamanda, Joshua akati kuvanhu, Danidzirai, nekuti Jehovha wakupai guta.
16 A ciya mo, sorro iyyanta waate day, waato kaŋ cine alfagey na hilley kar, Yasuwa ne borey se: «Wa kuuwa! zama Rabbi na birno no araŋ se.
17Asi guta rinofanira kuyeriswa kuna Jehovha, iro nezvose zviri mukati maro; asi Rakabhi chete, chifeve chiya, ngaaregwe ari mupenyu, iye navose vari mumba make, nekuti wakavanza nhume dzatakatuma.
17 Birno ga ciya Rabbi wane, laaliyaŋ hari no araŋ se, nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go a ra. Rahab hinne, kaaruwa din, nga no ga funa, nga nda borey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda windo ra kulu, zama a na diyey kaŋ iri donton yaŋ din tugu.
18Asi imwi, chenjerai pazvinhu zvinoyera, kuti murege kutora chinhu chinoyera, mambochiyeresa, naizvozvo mungatukisa misasa yaIsiraeri mukaipinza mudambudziko.

19Asi sirivha yose, nendarama, nemidziyo yendarira, neyamatare zvitsvene kuna Jehovha; zvinofanira kuiswa muchivigiro chefuma chaJehovha.
19 Amma nzarfu kulu, da wura da guuru-ciray jinayey, da guuru-bi wane -- ngey wo hananteyaŋ no Rabbi se. I ga kand'ey Rabbi jisiri nango ra.»
20Naizvozvo vanhu vakadanidzira, navapristi vakaridza hwamanda; zvino vanhu vakati vachinzwa kurira kwehwamanda, vanhu vakadanidzira nokudanidzira kukuru, rusvingo ndokukoromoka chose, vanhu vakakwira vachipinda muguta, mumwe nomumwe pakaruramana naye, vakakunda guta.
20 Borey binde kuuwa ka ne: «Yiihu!» Alfagey mo na hilley kar. A te ka ciya binde, saaya kaŋ cine borey maa hilli kaatiyaŋey, i na jinde sambu ka te «Yiihu!» da jinde beeri, kala birni cinaro mo kulu taŋ ka gusam ganda parkatak! Kala borey kaaru ka furo, boro kulu nga jine ka birno ŋwa.
21Vakaparadza chose nomunondo unopinza zvose zvakanga zviri muguta, varume navakadzi, vaduku navakuru, nenzombe, namakwai, nembongoro.
21 Hay kulu kaŋ go birno ra, i n'i halaci saray: alboro nda wayboro zankey da arkusu zeeney, haw da feeji da farkayey. I n'i kulu halaci da takuba.
22Joshua akati kuvarume vaviri vakanga vandoshora nyika, Pindai muimba yechifeve, mubudise mukadzi nezvose zvaanazvo, sezvamakapika kwaari.
22 Yasuwa ne boro hinka kaŋ yaŋ na laabo windi din se: «Wa furo wayboro kaaruwa din windo ra. Araŋ ma waybora da hay kulu kaŋ go a se kaa taray, danga mate kaŋ cine araŋ ze a se d'a.»
23Zvino majaya iwayo, vashori, vakapinda, vakabudisa Rakabhi, nababa vake, namai vake, nehanzvadzi dzake, nezvose zvaakanga anazvo, vakabudisawo hama dzake dzose, vakavaisa kunze kwemisasa yaIsiraeri.
23 Ma-carare sahãkooney din binde furo Rahab windo ra. I na Rahab d'a baabo, d'a nyaŋo, d'a nya-ka-fo-siney, da hay kulu kaŋ go a se, d'a dumey kulu mo kaa taray. I n'i kaa taray k'i ye Israyla borey banda.
24Ipapo vakapisa guta nomoto, nezvose zvakanga zviri mukati maro; asi sirivha, nendarama, nemidziyo yendarira, neyamatare, vakazviisa muchivigiro chefuma cheimba yaJehovha.
24 I na birno ton da danji, nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go birno ra. Kala day nzarfu da wura da guuru-ciray jinayey, da guuru-bi waney, i na woodin yaŋ jisi Rabbi jisiri nango ra.
25Asi Joshua wakarega Rakabhi, chifeve chiya, ari mupenyu, iye naveimba yababa vake, nezvose zvaakanga anazvo; iye akagara pakati paIsiraeri kusvikira nhasi; nekuti wakange avanza nhume dzakatumwa naJoshua kundoshora Jeriko.
25 Amma kaaruwa Rahab da nga baabo almayaaley, da hay kulu kaŋ go a se, Yasuwa n'i naŋ da fundi. A goro mo Israyla game ra, hala ka kaa sohõ, zama nga no ka diyey kaŋ yaŋ Yasuwa donton i ma koy ka Yeriko guna din tugu.
26Nenguva iyo Joshua akavapikisa, achiti, Munhu unozomuka akavaka guta iri reJeriko ngaatukwe; ucharashikirwa nedangwe rake kana achiteya nheyo dzaro, uye ucharashikirwa norugotwe rwake kana achimutsa masuwo aro.
26 Yasuwa ye ka sanno da zeyaŋo gaabandi i se koyne alwaati woodin ra ka ne: «Laalante no Rabbi jine, bora kaŋ tun ka ne nga ga birni woone Yeriko cina: A hay-jine mursay no a g'a daba cina nd'a. A ize koda mursay mo no a g'a me-daabirjey sinji nd'a.»
27Naizvozvo Jehovha wakange ana Joshua; mukurumbira wake ukanzwika panyika yose.
27 Yaadin no Rabbi go Yasuwa banda, a maa baaro mo koy laabo ra nangu kulu.
