Akupu anue nkushala mu kabaaka munda mua bipua* bi bungi.

8 “‘Ami nkuenda nenu mu nsenga ya bena Amore babaadi bashale abua bushiya* bua Yordane, na abo nkuinuluisha ngoshi. Anka ami nkuinupa banka mu maasa eenu bua’shi nuate nsenga yabo bu yenu, na ami nkuibabutula kumpala kuenu. 9 Akupu Balake muana a Zipore, nfumu a Moabe, nkuibua na nkuluisha Isalele ngoshi.

11 “‘Akupu anue nkusabuka Yordane, nkufika ku Yeriko. Na bakunkushi* ba Yeriko, bena Amore, bena Perizi, bena Kanaana, bena Ite, bena Girgashi, bena Ivii, na bena Yebuse nkuinuluisha ngoshi, anka ami nkuinupa banka mu maasa eenu. 12 Biabia ami nkukita bia’shi babofule ku mashimba,* na abo nkusuuka kumpala kuenu, ba nfumu babidi ba bena Amore. Tabibaadi ku lupete luenu lua ngoshi sunga ku buta buenu. 13 Nyi binaadi muinupe nsenga yanushibaadi bafumbakene, na bibundi bianushibaadi bebakie na anue nkushala muanka. Nukuete kudia tukuba tua mu mafuba a nfinyo na tua mu mafuba a olive tuanushibaadi bakune.’

14 “Biabia tshinayi Yehowa na numufubile na lulamato loso,* nukatushe b’efile babaadi ba mashenu kulu bafubile abua bushiya bua Muela na mu Ejipitu, na nufubile Yehowa. 15 Binobino su abimueneka bi bubi kuanudi bua kufubila Yehowa, sangulayi anue banabene lelo uno yawa anufubila, biabikala b’efile babaadi ba mashenu kulu bafubile abua bushiya bua Muela sunga b’efile ba bena Amore ba sha nsenga yanudi bashale. Anka ami na ba mu nshibo muande, atufubila Yehowa.”

16 Biabia muilo nkualula’shi: “Tatui balombene su nkapeela kusumbushena Yehowa bua kulanguila bangi b’efile. 17 Yehowa Efile Mukulu eetu nyi baadi muitutuushe na ba mashetu mu nsenga ya Ejipitu, mu nshibo ya bupika, na nnaye baadi mukite bino bitunduilo bikata mu meso muetu na muitulame muishinda dioso mubatudi batambukie na munkatshi mua miilo yoso mubatudi bakidile. 18 Yehowa baadi mubingie miilo yoso mpa na bena Amore abaadi bashale mu nsenga kumpala kuetu. Biabia natue namu, atufubila Yehowa, muanda nyi Efile Mukulu eetu.”

19 Akupu Yoshua nkulungula muilo’shi: “Tanui balombene kufubila Yehowa, muanda nyi Efile Mukulu eselele; Efile Mukulu atekaa’shi bamulamate nka penda aye. T’enufuila lusa bua kuipaa kuenu kua miiya* na bua miluisho yenu. 20 Su nuasumbushena Yehowa na nuafubila b’efile benyi, aye namu akenusumbushena na kuinubutula kunyima kua kuinukitshina bi buwa.”

21 Anka muilo nkulungula Yoshua’shi: “Nya, atue atufubila Yehowa!” 22 Biabia Yoshua nkulungula muilo’shi: “Nui tumonyi buenu’nue banabene’shi, nubasangula anue banabene bua kufubila Yehowa.” Abo nkuakula’shi: “Tui tumonyi.”

23 “Biabia, katushayi b’efile benyi be munkatshi muenu, na nufubile Yehowa Efile Mukulu a Isalele n’eshimba dienu dioso.” 24 Muilo nkualula Yoshua’shi: “Atufubila Yehowa Efile Mukulu eetu, na atukookiela eyi diaye!”

25 Biabia Yoshua nkukita na muilo kilombeno mu diadia efuku na nkuibelela muiya na kitshibilo mu Shekeme. 26 Akupu Yoshua nkufunda ano mayi mu mukanda wa Muiya w’Efile Mukulu, na nkuata ebue dikata nkuidituula muushi mua mutshi ukata wi pepi na mbalo ya kishila ya Yehowa.

27 Yoshua nkulungula muilo oso’shi: “Talayi! Dino ebue adikekala bu kamonyi kuatudi, muanda dibapusha mianda yoso ibetulungula Yehowa, na adikekala bu kamonyi kuanudi, bua’shi tanupelanga Efile Mukulu eenu.” 28 Biabia Yoshua nkualusha muilo, muntu oso ku bupianyi buaye.

29 Kunyima kua ino mianda, Yoshua muana a Nune mufubi a Yehowa, nkufua na bipua 110. 30 Biabia abo nkumushiika mu nsenga ya bupianyi buaye mu Timenate-sera, i mu nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime, dia kunundu kua Muengie wa Gashe. 31 Isalele batungunukile na kufubila Yehowa mafuku oso a Yoshua, na mafuku oso a bakulu babaadi na muwa kunyima kua lufu lua Yoshua, na babaadi abauku bioso bibaadi Yehowa mukitshine Isalele.
