Yooxuuwa

8 Vano Yehova aahimuleela Yooxuuwa wiira: “Muhoove, nnakhala muhithukumele.+ Mwaakuxe anakhotto ootheene murowe mwatuphele muttetthe wa Ayi. Miyo kihoovahereryani mwene a Ayi, atthu awe, epooma awe, ni muttetthe awe.+ 2 Ntoko mwiirinhe anyu epooma ya oYeriko ni mwene aya,+ siiso-tho muhaana wiiriha epooma ya Ayi ni mwene aya. Masi nyuwo pooti okuxa itthu munrowa anyu ophwanya mpooma-mmo, vamosa ni inama. Mwaathanle anakhotto akina wiira yiipithe ottuli wa epooma”.

3 Siiso, Yooxuuwa ni anakhotto ootheene yaahirowa otuphela epooma ya Ayi. Yooxuuwa aahaathanla anakhotto ootupa 30.000, nto khwaaruma orowa ohiyu. 4 Yooxuuwa aahaaruma oriki: “Murowe mwiipithe ottuli wa epooma. Muhirakamele vanceene epooma eyo, ni mukhale oolikana ene. 5 Miyo ni atthu ootheene kirina aka, ninrowa waattamela epooma. Okathi atthu a mpooma-mmo, anrowa aya ophavela owana ni hiyo,+ ntoko woopaceryani, ninrowa waatthyawa. 6 Okathi anrowa aya onoomola, nnimwaarakamihela epooma, maana anrowa ohimyaka so: ‘Awo anoonitthyawa ntoko woopaceryani’.+ Siiso ninrowa waatthyawa. 7 Nto nyuwosa, muhaana ovenya opuro mwaipinthe anyu, mutuphele epooma. Yehova Muluku anyu onrowa woovahereryani epooma eyo. 8 Mukuxaka-ru epooma eyo, muhaana opaha.+ Muhaana opaka eyo muttharaka nuulumo na Yehova. Ela ti yooruma kinoovahaakani”.

9 Yooxuuwa aahaaruma anakhotto awe orowa wiipitha mpantta mukina wa epooma. Awo yaahiipitha eriyari ya oBeteli ni Ayi mpantta onikela nsuwa wa Ayi. Masi Yooxuuwa aahiviriha ohiyu ole ni anakhotto akina.

10 Nuumala Yooxuuwa ovenya voosiisu ene, aahaathukumanya atoropa. Moottharelana, owo ni makhulupale a aisarayeli, yaahirowa muttetthe wa Ayi. 11 Anakhotto ootheene+ aarina awe, yaaheetta khurowa ohoolo wa epooma eyo. Awo yaahimaka onorti wa Ayi. Nto eriyari ya anakhotto awo ni epooma ya Ayi, yaahikhala nxepa. 12 Yooxuuwa, aahaathanla alopwana oowiiraka 5.000, ni aahaaruma wiipitha+ eriyari ya oBeteli+ ni Ayi, mpantta onikela nsuwa wa epooma. 13 Siiso, anakhotto ale yaahimaka onorti wa epooma,+ nave ale yaahanle ottuli yaahimaka mpantta onikela nsuwa wa epooma.+ Ohiyu yoole, Yooxuuwa aahirowa mpakha oxepani.

14 Nuumala mwene a epooma ya Ayi waaweha anakhotto a Yooxuuwa, aahivenya niinaano-ru ni anakhotto a epooma ele voosiisu ene, wiira awane ni aisarayeli opuro waawehana ni oxepani. Masi mwene ole, khaasuwela wiira anakhotto akina yaaroomwiipithela ottuli wa epooma. 15 Okathi alopwana a epooma ya Ayi yaatuphenle aya aisarayeli, Yooxuuwa ni aisarayeli ootheene yaahitthyawa attharaka estaraata yaarowa woothakoni.+ 16 Vano alopwana akina yaahanle mpooma, yaahiireliwa wiira ewoomole aisarayeli. Okathi yaamoomola aya Yooxuuwa, awo yaanitepa orakamela epooma. 17 Khuuvo mulopwana a epooma ya Ayi ni oBeteli, ahaaronwe owoomola aisarayeli. Awo yaahihiya epooma yoohuleya ene, anawoomola aisarayeli.

18 Yehova aahimuleela Yooxuuwa wiira: “Muthoonye epooma ya Ayi ni nivaka mukunxe anyu mmatatani mwanyu,+ okhala wiira kinrowa woovahereryani epooma eyo”.+ Nto Yooxuuwa aahithoonya epooma ya Ayi ni nivaka aakunxe awe mmatatani mwawe. 19 Okathi Yooxuuwa aathoonyale awe epooma eyo, anakhotto awe yaahivenya moowaakuveya opuro waipinthe aya, nto yaahitthimakela epooma eyo, atuphela. Vano niinaano-ru, yaahipaha epooma eyo ni mooro.+

20 Okathi atthu a epooma ya Ayi yaarukununwe aya, yaahiweha mwiixi waatthuwa opooma iwe, nto khiyaawerya-tho otthyawela opuro mukina. Vano anakhotto aisarayeli yaatthyawela moothakoni, yaahaarukunuwela ale yaawoomola. 21 Okathi Yooxuuwa ni aisarayeli ootheene yaawenhe aya wiira anakhotto yaipinthe yaahikuxa epooma, ni yaawenhe aya mwiixi waatthuwa opooma iwe, yaahirukunuwa, yaatuphela anakhotto a epooma ya Ayi. 22 Anakhotto aisarayeli yaakunxe epooma, yaahikhuma, arowa waatuphela awanani aya. Siiso, anakhotto a epooma ya Ayi yaari eriyari: aisarayeli akina mpantta ola nno, akina mpantta ole iwe. Nto aisarayeli yaahiwiivakasa anakhotto ootheene, khuuvo ooponwe nnakhala otthyawa.+ 23 Masi, yaahinvara mwene a epooma ya Ayi+ ori ene mukumi, amuroiha wa Yooxuuwa.

24 Aisarayeli yaahiwiivakasa anakhotto a epooma ya Ayi woothakoni weiwo yaatthimakela aya. Aisarayeli yaahiwiivakasa ni espaata* anakhotto a epooma ya Ayi woothakoni, mpakha waamaliha ootheene aya. Nuumala-vo awo yaahitthikela epooma ya Ayi, awiivakasa ni espaata* ale yaahanle. 25 Atthu ootheene yaakhwiiye nihiku nne, alopwana ni athiyana, yaari 12.000, eyo piiyo, atthu ootheene a epooma ya Ayi. 26 Yooxuuwa khaahiyale othoonya epooma ele ni nivaka aakunxe awe mmatatani,+ mpakha atthu ootheene a epooma ya Ayi opwetexiwa.+ 27 Vano, aisarayeli yaahikuxa inama ni itthu sa epooma ele, ntoko Yehova aamurumme awe Yooxuuwa.+

28 Nto Yooxuuwa aahipaha epooma ya Ayi, khukhaliha milepe* mahiku ootheene,+ ntoko siri aya mpakha olelo-va. 29 Yooxuuwa aahimwiiva ni aahimuthomeya vamwirini mwene a epooma ya Ayi mpakha makaaripi. Nto nsuwa nihalaka osama, Yooxuuwa aahiruma okuruxiwa murutthu wa mwene owo vamwirini.+ Nuumala-vo, murutthu owo waahiriheliwa vamukhora wa epooma, ni yaahuukeliwa maluku manceene vasulu vaya. Maluku awo annikhala opuro yoowo, mpakha olelo-va.

30 Okathi owo, Yooxuuwa aahimutekela altaari Yehova Muluku a Isarayeli omwaako Ebali.+ 31 Owo aahipaka eyo, ntoko Moise, murumeyi a Yehova, aarumme awe aisarayeli, ntoko siisaale silempwale aya muliivuruni ya Nlamulo+ na Moise, wiira: “Altaari etekiwe ni maluku maalupale, ehirumeeliwe nnakhala ekaruma emosa ya eyuuma”.+ Valtaari owo, aahivahiwa Yehova soovaha para opahiwa ni mikuttho sa opatthani.+

32 Yooxuuwa aahilepa vasulu va maluku awo ekoopiya ya Nlamulo,+ nenno Moise aalempe awe ohoolo wa aisarayeli.+ 33 Aisarayeli ootheene, ni axitokweene, ni makhulupale, ni alipa oophuka yaaheemela ipantta soopiili sa Nivuku na Nivarihano, ohoolo wa anamukuttho alevi, yaawo yaakunxe Nivuku na Nivarihano na Yehova. Opuro owo, yaahikhala anamurwa ni aisarayeli axineene.+ Nimeya na atthu awo, yeemenle ohoolo wa mwaako Xerizimi, nimeya nikina yeemenle ohoolo wa mwaako Ebali+ (ntoko Moise murumeyi a Yehova aarumme awe),+ wiira areelihiwe atthu a Isarayeli. 34 Moottharelana, Yooxuuwa aahisoma voowiiwanyeya moolumo ootheene a Nlamulo+ na Moise, eyo piiyo, moolumo ooreeliha+ ni ootakhaliha,+ moovarihana ni itthu sootheene saalempwale muliivuruni ya Nlamulo. 35 Yooxuuwa aahaasomela voowiiwanyeya aisarayeli ootheene moolumo ootheene aarummwale awe ni Moise.+ Opuro owo, yaahikhala athiyana, anamwane, ni anamurwa+ yaakhala* eriyari ya aisarayeli.+
