Yoshua

6 Anka Yeriko baadi mufungibue bi bukopo muanda wa bena Isalele; takui muntu su ngumune baadi atuuku na takui muntu su ngumune baadi atuele.

2 Akupu Yehowa nkulungula Yoshua’shi: “Tala, nakupa Yeriko na nfumu aaye na bilobo biaye bia ngoshi. 3 Anue boso bantu abalu ngoshi abitungu nuifunye kibundi, nuende na kuifunya kibundi musango umune. Anukitshi biabia munda mua mafuku asamombo. 4 Nuikale na ba tshite muakuidi musambobidi basemune mpungi ya nsengua ya mukooko ulume musambobibi kumpala kua Mushete. Anka muifuku dia musambobidi, abitungu nuende na kuifunya kibundi misango musambobidi na abitungu ba tshite muakuidi beele mpungi. 5 Apadidi nsengua ya mukooko ulume, nka nuki’anupusha kudila kua mpungi,* abitungu bantu boso beele musaase wi bukopo wa ngoshi. Paapa mudimba wa kibundi aupono paashi, na bantu abatuele, muntu oso mululame kumpala kuaye.”

6 Biabia Yoshua muana a Nune nkubunga ba tshite muakuidi na nkuibalungula’shi: “Atayi mushete wa kilombeno, na abitungu ba tshite muakuidi musambobidi basemune mpungi ya nsengua ya mukooko ulume musambobidi kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa.” 7 Akupu aye nkulungula bantu’shi: “Bangayi luendo nuende na kuifunya kibundi, na abitungu basalayi bena bina ngoshi bakile kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa.” 8 Nka bu bibaadi Yoshua mulungule bantu, ba tshite muakuidi musambobidi basemune mpungi ya nsengua ya mukooko ulume musambobidi kumpala kua Yehowa, abakidile kumpala, beela mpungi na mushete wa kilombeno wa Yehowa ubaadi awibalondo. 9 Na basalayi be na bina ngoshi abakidile kumpala kua ba tshite muakuidi abaadi abende na kuela mpungi, na bangi basalayi abaadi kunyima kua Mushete pabaadi mpungi ayende na kudila.

10 Yoshua baadi mutumine bantu eyi’shi: “Tanuelanga musaase. Sunga mayi eenu taapushikanga, kishima su nkimune takitukanga mukanua muenu mpa n’efuku dianenulungula’shi, ‘Elayi misaase!’ Paapa nyi p’anuele misaase.” 11 Baadi mukite bia’shi Mushete wa Yehowa wifunye kibundi, wikifunye mususa umune, kunyima abalukiile mu kishalelo na abo nkulaala kuakua.

12 Efuku dibalondele Yoshua babuukile ku namashika buee, na ba tshite muakuidi abasemuine Mushete wa Yehowa, 13 na ba tshite muakuidi musambobidi basemune mpungi ya nsengua ya mukooko ulume musambobidi abaadi abatambuka kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa, bendanga na kuela mpungi. Basalayi be na bina ngoshi abaadi abende kumpala kuabo pabaadi bangi basalayi abalondo Mushete wa Yehowa nsaa ibaadi mpungi ayende na kudila. 14 Muifuku dia kabidi abaadi befunye kibundi mususa umune, kunyima abalukiile ku kishalelo. Abakitshine biabia munda mua mafuku asamombo.

15 Muifuku dia musambobidi ababuukile namashika buee nka bufuku buki’abutooko, na abo nkuifunya kibundi mu mushindo umune misusa musambobidi. Nka mu diadia efuku dimune nyi mubaabadi befunye kibundi misusa musambobidi. 16 Na pa mususa wa musambobidi, ba tshite muakuidi abelele mpungi, na Yoshua nkulungula bantu’shi: “Elayi misaase, muanda Yehowa benupa kibundi! 17 Kibundi na bintu bioso bi muanka mbia kubutula; bioso mbia Yehowa. Nka penda Rahabe ndumba nyi mulombene kushala na muwa, aye na boso badi nabo mu nshibo, muanda baadi mufuamishe mikiendi yatutumine. 18 Anka tanuatanga kintu kioso kia kubutula, bua’shi tanulakilanga kintu kia kubutula na nuekiata, nuekasha kishalelo kia Isalele bu kintu kia kubutula pa kuikifuishila makienga.* 19 Anka kiamo kia arja kioso, ôlo oso na bintu bioso bia kiamo kia munyinga, na kiamo kioso, mbia kishila bua Yehowa. Abitungu biende mu mbalo ya kulamina bintu bia muulo bia nshibo ya Yehowa.”

20 Akupu bantu nkuela musaase pabaabadi bapushe kudila kua mpungi. Nka bantu baki’abapusha kudila kua mpungi na beela musaase wi bukopo wa ngoshi, mudimba ubaponene paashi. Kunyima kua biabia bantu abatuelele mu kibundi, muntu oso mululame kumpala kuaye, na abakuatshile kibundi. 21 Ababutuile bioso bibaadi mu kibundi ku lupete lua ngoshi, bana balume, bana bakashi, ba nsongua na banunu, ngombe, mikooko na mpunda.

22 Yoshua nkulungula bana balume babidi abayile mu kupuupa nsenga’shi: “Ndayi mu nshibo mua yawa ndumba, numutuushe na bantu baye boso, nka bu bianubaadi betshipe kuadi.” 23 Biabia baba ba nsongualume ba mpuupa abatuelele na abo nkutuusha Rahabe pamune na nshaye, nyinaye, bakuabo, na bantu baye boso; oolo abatuushile kifuko kiaye kioso, na bebatuala kushi masaku mu mbalo kampanda paasha pa kishalelo kia Isalele.

24 Akupu abashiikile kibundi na bintu bioso bi muanka kaalo. Anka kiamo kia arja, ôlo, bintu bia kiamo kia munyinga,* na kiamo abaadi bebituule mu mbalo ya kulamina bintu bia muulo bia nshibo ya Yehowa. 25 Nka penda Rahabe ndumba na ba mu nshibo mua nshaye na bantu baye boso nyi babaabadi bapaashe kui Yoshua; na mmushale mu Isalele mpa na lelo, muanda baadi mufuamishe mikiendi ibaadi Yoshua mutume bua kupuupa Yeriko.

26 Mu aa mafuku Yoshua bakitshine uno mutshipo’shi:* “Muntu abanga kuibakuula kino kibundi kia Yeriko edibue mulua kumpala kua Yehowa. P’ashimika bitako biakio muan’aye mbedi afu, p’eele biibi biakio muan’aye a mukala afu.”

27 Biabia Yehowa baadi na Yoshua, na nkumo yaye ibapalakene pa nsenga ishima.
