Mala 12 Aya Mutala Gifutshi mu Gisuegi

Tangua enya Isalele akatugile gu Mulundu wa Sinayi, abalegele mu mavu a luselenga a Parane, ayile gu Kadeshe. Yehowa wawambelele Moize egi: ‘Tuma athu ha guya mutala gifutshi gia Kanana, gifutshi ngudi muhana enya Isalele. Mu giphuta nu giphuta, udi naye gutuma muthu mumoshi.’ Moize watombele mala 12, waawambelele egi: ‘Ndenu gu Kanana mutale gula mavu ene anazola mbuto. Talenu nji gula athu a mu gifutshi giene adi enya ngolo nga ndo, gula ana jinga mu matenta nga mu membo.’ Mala ene 12 ayile mutala gifutshi gia Kanana; Yoshua nu Kalebe akhalele nawo.

Gungima dia masugu 40, mala ene ajile muvutuga, abatele mabundu a figi nu a grenade nu a vinyo. Azuelele egi: ‘Gifutshi giene gidi giabonga, uvi athu a mu gifutshi giene adi enya ngolo, membo awo adi nu ibayi yakola.’ Uvi Kalebe wazuelele egi: ‘Tuajiya guabinga. Tuyenu tualuise!’ Umujiya mukunda natshi Kalebe wazuelele ngenyi? Idi handaga muene nu Yoshua akhalele mushila Yehowa mutshima. Uvi Mala ako kumi azuelele egi: ‘Ndo! Athu ene adi nu ngolo, adi akoma, aleha! Tuakhadi gifua tumatulu gutuama diawo.’

Enya Isalele alebele diago muila. Asendesele guboguta, akhalele muzuela egi: ‘Tutombenu fumu muko, tuvutuge gu Ejipitu. Mukunda natshi tudi naye guya mu gifutshi giene hagula tushiyiwe?’ Yoshua nu Kalebe azuelele egi: ‘Mulumbugilago Yehowa, muvuigo woma, handaga Yehowa mbawutubamba.’ Uvi enya Isalele atunyile guavila. Atshiginyile gushiya Yoshua nu Kalebe!

Itshi Yehowa watshitshile? Wawambelele Moize egi: ‘Uu nu tangua ditshi mbaalandula gutuna gungutumagela, ikhale ngaakalegele gale ndaga jiavula. Hene mbaawungagana mu mavu a luselenga ivo 40 nu mbaafua muene. Phamba an’awo nu Kalebe nu Yoshua mbaangina mu mavu ngalayele ha guahana.’
