1 Yosuwa amaze gupfa,+ Abisirayeli* babaza Yehova+ bati: “Ni nde muri twe uzabanza gutera Abanyakanani?”

18 Nuko barazamuka bajya i Beteli kubaza Imana.+ Abisirayeli barayibaza bati: “Ni nde muri twe uzajya imbere tugiye kurwana n’abo mu muryango wa Benyamini?” Yehova arabasubiza ati: “Yuda ni we uzabajya imbere.”

28 Muri iyo minsi, Finehasi+ umuhungu wa Eleyazari, umwuzukuru wa Aroni, ni we wakoreraga* imbere y’iyo sanduku. Barabaza bati: “Ese twongere tujye gutera abavandimwe bacu bo mu muryango wa Benyamini, cyangwa tubireke?”+ Yehova arabasubiza ati: “Mugende, kuko ejo nzatuma mubatsinda.”

2 Nuko Dawidi abaza Yehova ati:+ “Ese ngende ntere abo Bafilisitiya?” Yehova aramusubiza ati: “Genda utere Abafilisitiya ukize ab’i Keyila.”
