2 Nuko Yosuwa mwene Nuni yohereza mu ibanga abatasi babiri baturutse i Shitimu,+ arababwira ati “nimugende mutate igihugu, cyane cyane i Yeriko.” Baragenda bagera ku nzu y’umugore w’indaya witwaga Rahabu,+ bacumbika aho.

16 amazi yatembaga aturuka haruguru arahagarara, yigomerera+ kure cyane ahitwa Adamu, umugi uri hafi y’i Saretani,+ ayandi atemba agana mu nyanja ya Araba, ari yo Nyanja y’Umunyu,+ arashira. Amazi yigabanyijemo kabiri, abantu bambukira ahateganye n’i Yeriko.

6 Yeriko yari ikinze, idanangiye, bitewe n’Abisirayeli, ku buryo nta wasohokaga cyangwa ngo yinjire.+
