6 Mpindieu biibi bia Yeliko bivua bikanga bikole bualu bua bena Isalele; kakuvua muntu uvua upatuka ne kakuvua muntu uvua ubuela to.+
2 Nunku Yehowa wakambila Yoshua ne: “Mona, ndi mufile Yeliko ne mukalenge wende ne bilobo biende bia mvita mu tshianza tshiebe.+
3 Nuenu baluanganyi ba mvita bonso nenuende nunyunguluka tshimenga, nunyunguluka tshimenga musangu umue. Nenuenze nunku matuku asambombo.
4 Enza bua bakuidi muanda mutekete bikale ne nsengu muanda mutekete ya bimpanga bia mikoko kumpala kua Mushete. Kadi dituku dia muanda mutekete, nenuende nunyunguluka tshimenga misangu muanda mutekete ne bakuidi nebele mpungi.+
5 Padibu bela mpungi wa lusengu lua tshimpanga tshia mukoko, diakamue panudi numvua muadi* wa mpungi, bantu bonso nebele lubila lua mvita lukole. Dîba adi bimanu bia tshimenga nebiupuke, bilala panshi,+ ne bantu badi ne bua kuya, muntu yonso mutangile kumpala kuende.”
6 Nunku Yoshua muana wa Nuna wakasangisha bakuidi pamue, kubambilaye ne: “Ambulayi mushete wa tshipungidi, ne bakuidi muanda mutekete bambule nsengu muanda mutekete ya bimpanga bia mikoko kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa.”+
7 Pashishe wakambila bantu ne: “Ndayi, nunyunguluke tshimenga, ne basalayi bavuale bia mvita+ nebaye kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa.”
8 Anu muvua Yoshua muambile bantu, bakuidi muanda mutekete bambule nsengu muanda mutekete ya bimpanga bia mikoko kumpala kua Yehowa bakaya kumpala, ne bakela mpungi, ne mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa uvua ubalonda.
9 Basalayi bavua ne bia mvita bakaya kumpala kua bakuidi bavua benda bela mpungi, ne bakuabu bavua panyima bakalonda Mushete pavua mpungi yenda idila.
10 Mpindieu Yoshua uvua muelele bantu mukenji ne: “Kanuedi mbila anyi mêyi enu kaumvuiki to. Dîyi nansha dimue kadipatuki mukana muenu too ne dituku dindi nnuambila ne: ‘Elayi mbila!’ Dîba adi nenuele mbila.”
11 Wakenza bua Mushete wa Yehowa unyunguluke tshimenga, utshinyunguluka musangu umue, pashishe bakapingana mu tshitudilu, kulalabu muntu amu.
12 Dinda diakalonda Yoshua wakajuka mu dinda menemene, ne bakuidi bakambula Mushete+ wa Yehowa,
13 ne bakuidi muanda mutekete bavua bambule nsengu muanda mutekete ya bimpanga bia mikoko bavua benda kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa, benda bela mpungi. Basalayi bavua ne bia mvita bavua benda kumpala kuabu, eku basalayi bakuabu bavua panyima benda balonda Mushete wa Yehowa pavua mpungi yenda idila.
14 Bakanyunguluka tshimenga musangu umue dituku dibidi, pashishe bakapingana mu tshitudilu. Ke tshiakenzabu matuku asambombo.+
15 Dituku dia muanda mutekete bakajuka mu dindadinda diakamue pakatshia butuku, ne bakanyunguluka tshimenga mushindu wa muomumue misangu muanda mutekete. Anu dituku adi ke divuabu banyunguluke tshimenga misangu muanda mutekete.+
16 Musangu wa muanda mutekete bakuidi bakela mpungi, ne Yoshua wakambila bantu ne: “Elayi mbila,+ bualu Yehowa mmunupeshe tshimenga etshi!
17 Tshimenga ne bintu bionso bidimu mbia kubutula;+ tshionso tshijima ntshia Yehowa. Anu Lahaba+ mukaji wa ndumba ke washala ne muoyo, yeye ne bonso badi nende mu nzubu muende, bualu uvua musokoke bantu batuvua batume.+
18 Kadi nudilame ku tshintu tshia kubutula,+ bua kanujingi tshintu tshia kubutula ne kanutshiangatshi,+ nuvuija tshitudilu tshia Isalele tshintu tshia kubutula, nutshikebela dikenga.*+
19 Kadi arjan yonso ne or ne bintu bia tshiamu tshia mitaku ne bia tshiamu tshifiike mbia tshijila kudi Yehowa.+ Mbia kuela mu tshibutshilu tshia Yehowa.”+
20 Pashishe bantu bakela mbila pavuabu bele mpungi.+ Diakamue pavua bantu bumvue muadi wa mpungi ne bele lubila lua mvita lukole, bimanu biakupuka, kulalabi panshi.+ Pashishe bantu bakabanda mu tshimenga, muntu yonso mutangile kumpala kuende, kukuatabu tshimenga.
21 Bakabutula bionso bivua mu tshimenga ne muele wa mvita: bantu balume ne bantu bakaji, bana ne bakulumpe, ngombe, mikoko, ne mpunda.+
22 Yoshua wakambila bantu babidi bavua batentekele buloba abu ne: “Buelayi mu nzubu wa mukaji wa ndumba au, nupatule mukaji au ne bonso badiye nabu, anu munuvua baditshipe kudiye.”+
23 Nunku bansongalume bavua batentekele tshimenga abu bakabuela, kupatulabu Lahaba, pamue ne tatuende, mamuende, bana babu ba balume, ne bantu bonso bavuaye nabu; bushuwa, bakapatula dîku diende dijima,+ bakaya nabu muaba kampanda pambelu pa tshitudilu tshia Isalele kakuyi bualu bubi bubenzekele.
24 Pashishe bakuosha tshimenga ne bionso bivuamu ne kapia. Kadi bakafila arjan ne or ne bintu bia tshiamu tshia mitaku ne bia tshiamu tshifiike mu tshibutshilu tshia nzubu wa Yehowa.+
25 Kadi Yoshua wakalama anu Lahaba mukaji wa ndumba, ne ba mu nzubu wa tatuende, ne bantu bonso bavuaye nabu;+ yeye mmusombele mu Isalele too ne lelu+ bualu wakasokoka bantu bavua Yoshua mutume bua kutentekela Yeliko.+
26 Tshikondo atshi, Yoshua wakenza mutshipu* eu wamba ne: “Muntu udi ubanga kuibakulula tshimenga tshia Yeliko etshi edibue mulawu kumpala kua Yehowa. Neajimije muanabute wende bua kuasa tshishimikidi tshiende, ne neajimije muanende wa mukala bua kuela biibi biatshi.”+
27 Nunku Yehowa uvua ne Yoshua,+ ne lumu luende luakatangalaka pa buloba bujima.+
