21 Pakumvua mukalenge muena Kanâna wa ku Alada+ uvua musombele mu Negebe ne: Isalele uvua muluile njila wa Atalima, wakaluangana ne Isalele, kukuataye bamue ba kudibu, kuyaye nabu. 2 Nunku Isalele wakaditshipa kudi Yehowa, wamba ne: “Wewe mufile bantu aba mu tshianza tshianyi, nembutule bimenga biabu kakuyi mpata.” 3 Nunku Yehowa wakateleja dîyi dia Isalele, kubapeshaye bena Kanâna; kubabutulabu bobu ne bimenga biabu. Ke bualu kayi bakinyika muaba au ne: Hôma.*+

4 Pavuabu batungunuka ne luendu luabu bumbukila ku mukuna wa Hô,+ balonda njila wa ku Mbuu Mukunze bua kunyunguluka buloba bua Edome,+ bantu* bakapungila bua luendu. 5 Bantu bakatuadija kuakula bibi bua Nzambi ne bua Mose,+ bamba ne: “Bua tshinyi nudi batupatule mu Ejipitu bua tuetu kufuila mu tshipela emu? Kamuena ni mbiakudia ni mmâyi,+ ne tuetu* tukadi bakine* bimampa bibi ebi.”+ 6 Nunku Yehowa wakatumina bantu nyoka ya lulengu;* nyoka ayi ivua isuma bantu, nunku bena Isalele ba bungi bakafua.+

7 Nunku bantu bakalua kudi Mose, kuambabu ne: “Tudi benze mpekatu patudi bakule bibi bua Yehowa ne buebe wewe.+ Utulombele kudi Yehowa bua atumbushile nyoka eyi.” Mose wakalombela bantu kudi Nzambi.+ 8 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Mose ne: “Enza tshimfuanyi tshia nyoka wa lulengu* ne utshiteke ku dikunji. Padibu basuma muntu, dîba adi udi ne bua kutshitangila bua ashale ne muoyo.” 9 Diakamue Mose wakenza nyoka wa tshiamu tshia mitaku,+ kumutekaye ku dikunji,+ ne dîba dionso divua nyoka usuma muntu, ne muntu au yeye mutangile nyoka wa tshiamu tshia mitaku, uvua upanda.+

10 Panyima pa bualu abu bena Isalele bakasa luendu, kutudilabu mu Oboto.+ 11 Pashishe bakumbuka mu Oboto, kutudilabu mu Iye-habalima,+ mu tshipela tshidi tshitangilangane ne Moaba, lua ku est. 12 Bakumbuka kuntu aku, kutudilabu pabuipi ne Tshibandabanda* tshia Zelede.+ 13 Bakumbuka kabidi kuntu aku, kutudilabu mu tshitupa tshia buloba tshia Ânona+ tshidi mu tshipela tshidi tshiumbukile ku mukalu wa bena Amole, bualu Ânona mmukalu wa Moaba, pankatshi pa Moaba ne bena Amole. 14 Ke bualu kayi mukanda wa Mvita ya Yehowa udi wakula bua “Waheba mu Sufaha ne bibandabanda* bia Ânona, 15 ne mpulumuku* wa bibandabanda* udi muye too ne ku luseke lua musoko wa Ale, udi mulamate ku mukalu wa Moaba.”

16 Pashishe bakaya ku Bê. Etshi ntshina tshivua Yehowa muambile Mose ne: “Sangisha bantu bua mbapeshe mâyi.”

17 Tshikondo atshi Isalele wakimba musambu eu:

“Patula mâyi, wewe tshina!—Tshipungulujayi!*

18 Tshina tshivua bakokeshi bumbule, tshivua bantu banene ba mu tshisamba buondole,

Ne dikombo dia mukokeshi ne makombo abu bobu bine.”

Pashishe bakumbuka mu tshipela kuyabu ku Matana, 19 kumbukabu ku Matana kuyabu ku Nahaliele, kumbukabu ku Nahaliele kuyabu ku Bamota.+ 20 Bakumbuka ku Bamota kuyabu mu tshibandabanda tshidi mu buloba* bua Moaba,+ ku mutu kua Pisega+ udi kuulu kua Yeshimone.*+

21 Mpindieu Isalele wakatuma bantu ne mukenji kudi Sihona mukalenge wa bena Amole bua kumuambila ne:+ 22 “Utulekele tupitshile mu buloba buebe. Katuakukudimuka bua kuya mu budimi kampanda anyi budimi bua tumuma tua mvinyo. Katuakunua mâyi a mu tshina nansha tshimue. Netuendele mu Njila wa Mukalenge too ne patuapita buloba buebe.”+ 23 Sihona kakitabila Isalele bua kupitshila mu buloba buende to. Kadi Sihona wakasangisha bantu bende bonso, kupatukaye bua kuluisha Isalele mu tshipela, kufikaye ku Yahasa ne kutuadijaye kuluangana ne Isalele.+ 24 Kadi Isalele wakamutshimuna ne muele wa mvita,+ kukuataye buloba buende+ kumbukila ku Ânona+ too ne ku Yaboka,+ pabuipi ne bena Amona, bualu Yazê+ udi ku muelelu kua buloba bua bena Amona.+

25 Nunku Isalele wakakuata bimenga bionso ebi ne bakatuadija kusombela mu bimenga bionso bia bena Amole,+ mu Heshebona ne mu misoko yonso ivua kumpenga kuende.* 26 Bualu Heshebona uvua tshimenga tshia Sihona, mukalenge wa bena Amole, uvua muluangane ne mukalenge wa Moaba ne mumunyenge maloba ende onso too ne ku Ânona. 27 Ke tshivua tshifikishe ku lusumuinu lua mayobo ludi luamba ne:

“Luayi ku Heshebona.

Tshimenga tshia Sihona tshibakibue ne tshijadikibue bikole.

28 Bualu kapia kavua kafume mu Heshebona, ludimi lua kapia mu tshimenga tshia Sihona.

Nkuoshe Ale wa mu Moaba, bakalenge ba miaba mitumbuke ya Ânona.

29 Diakabi diebe, Moaba! Nenubutudibue nuenu bantu ba Kemoshe!+

Yeye udi uvuija bana bende ba balume banyemakanyi ne bana bende ba bakaji bantu bakuata kudi Sihona, mukalenge wa bena Amole.

30 Tubasayi;

Heshebona neabutudibue too ne ku Dibona;+

Tumushiye tshipela too ne ku Nofaha;

Kapia nekatampakane too ne ku Medeba.”+

31 Nunku Isalele wakatuadija kusombela mu buloba bua bena Amole. 32 Pashishe Mose wakatuma bantu bua kutentekela Yazê.+ Bakakuata misoko ivua kumpenga kuende,* kuipatabu bena Amole bavuamu. 33 Pashishe bakakudimuka, kubandabu ne Njila wa Bashana. Ke Oga+ mukalenge wa Bashana kupatukaye ne bantu bende bonso bua kuluangana nabu mvita ku Edelei.+ 34 Yehowa wakambila Mose ne: “Kumutshinyi to,+ bualu nemmufile yeye ne bantu bende bonso ne buloba buende mu tshianza tshiebe,+ ne neumuenzele anu muuvua muenzele Sihona, mukalenge wa bena Amole, uvua musombele mu Heshebona.”+ 35 Nunku bakatungunuka ne kushipa, kumushipabu yeye pamue ne bana bende ne bantu bende bonso, too ne pavuaku kakuyi kushale muntu wende nansha umue ne muoyo;+ bakakuata kabidi buloba buende.+
