6 Abagabo b’i Gibeyoni baca batuma kuri Yosuwa kw’ikambi i Gilugali+ bati: “Ntukure ukuboko ku bashumba bawe+. Duga ningoga aho turi udukize, udufashe, kuko abami bose b’Abamori baba mu karere k’imisozi bakoraniye kuturwanya.” 7 Yosuwa araduga rero avuye i Gilugali, we hamwe n’abarwanyi bose+ n’abagabo b’intwari kandi b’abanyenkomezi bose+.

8 Maze Yehova abwira Yosuwa ati: “Ntubatinye+, kuko ndabatanze mu kuboko kwawe+. Nta n’umwe muri bo azoguhagarara imbere+.” 9 Yosuwa aza kubatera giturumbuka. Yari yaduze ijoro ryose avuye i Gilugali. 10 Yehova abata mu muvurungano imbere ya Isirayeli+, maze batangura kubagandagura, inganda ziratikira bimwe bikomeye i Gibeyoni+, babakurikira baciye mu nzira y’umudugo wa Beti-horoni, barabasasika gushika i Azeka+ n’i Makeda+. 11 Mu gihe bariko barahunga imbere ya Isirayeli, bakiri ku mumanuko wa Beti-horoni, Yehova abatibagurirako ibibuye bininibinini+ bivuye mw’ijuru gushika i Azeka, ku buryo bapfa. Abishwe n’ayo mabuye y’urubura baba benshi kuruta abo bene Isirayeli bicishije inkota.

13 Nuko izuba riguma rihagaze, n’ukwezi kurahagarara koko, gushika iryo hanga ryihoye abansi baryo+. None ivyo ntivyanditswe mu gitabu ca Yashari+? Nuko izuba riguma rihagaze hagati mw’ijuru, ntiryihutira kurenga, hafi umusi wose+. 14 Kandi nta musi wabaye nk’uwo, haba imbere yawo canke inyuma yawo, kuko Yehova yumvirije ijwi ry’umuntu+, kubera ko Yehova ubwiwe yariko arwanira Isirayeli+.

15 Inyuma y’ivyo, Yosuwa ari kumwe na Isirayeli yose asubira kw’ikambi i Gilugali+.

16 Muri ico gihe, abo bami batanu barahunga+, binyegeza mw’isenga i Makeda+. 17 Maze Yosuwa amenyeshwa ngo: “Ba bami batanu babasanze binyegeje mw’isenga i Makeda+.” 18 Yosuwa aca avuga ati: “Nimutembagarize ibibuye bininibinini ku munwa w’iryo senga hanyuma murishinge abagabo kugira babarinde. 19 Ariko mweho, ntimuhagarare. Mwome inyuma abansi banyu, mubatere ku gice cabo c’inyuma+. Ntimubakundire kwinjira mu bisagara vyabo, kuko Yehova Imana yanyu yabatanze mu maboko yanyu+.”

20 Yosuwa na bene Isirayeli bakirangiza kubagandagura inganda zigatikira bimwe bikomeye, gushika bano baherengeteye+, abacitse kw’icumu muri bo na bo bagahunga bakinjira mu bisagara bikingijwe ibihome+, 21 abantu bose batangura gusubira kw’ikambi, aho Yosuwa ari, i Makeda mu mahoro. Nta muntu n’umwe yazungagije ururimi yarakaye ngo arwanye bene Isirayeli+. 22 Maze Yosuwa avuga ati: “Nimwugurure umunwa wa rya senga, musohore abo bami batanu muri iryo senga mubanzanire.” 23 Nuko bagira gutyo, basohora nya bami batanu mw’isenga barabamuzanira, ari bo b’aba: umwami wa Yeruzalemu+, umwami wa Heburoni+, umwami wa Yarimuti, umwami wa Lakishi+, umwami wa Eguloni+. 24 Bakimara gusohora abo bami bakabazanira Yosuwa, Yosuwa ahamagara abagabo bose ba Isirayeli maze abwira abakomanda b’abarwanyi bari bajanye na we ati: “Nimwegere. Nimushire ibirenge ku bikanu vy’aba bami+.” Nuko baregera maze bashira ibirenge ku bikanu vyabo+. 25 Hanyuma Yosuwa abandanya kubabwira ati: “Ntimutinye canke ngo mutekerwe n’ubwoba+. Mugire umutima rugabo kandi mukomere, kuko uku ari ko Yehova azogirira abansi banyu bose muriko murarwanya+.”

26 Inyuma y’ivyo Yosuwa arabakubita, arabica, hanyuma abamanika ku biti bitanu, baguma bamanitse kuri nya biti gushika ku mugoroba+. 27 Nuko ku kirengazuba Yosuwa atanga itegeko, maze babamanura kuri nya biti+ hanyuma babaterera muri rya senga bari binyegejemwo. Baca bashira ibibuye bininibinini ku munwa w’iryo senga, gushika n’uyu musi.

Ntibasigazayo n’umwe. Gutyo, bagirira umwami waho nk’uko nyene bari bagiriye umwami wa Yeriko+.
