4 Diakamue pakajikija tshisamba tshijima kusabuka Yadene, Yehowa wakambila Yoshua ne:
2 “Angata bantu balume 12 mu tshisamba, muntu umue mu tshisa tshionso,+
3 ubatumine dîyi edi ne: ‘Angatayi mabue 12 munkatshi mua Yadene muaba uvua makasa a bakuidi mimane,+ nuye nawu, nuateke muaba unualala butuku.’”+
4 Nunku Yoshua wakabikila bantu balume 12 bavuaye musungule mu bena Isalele, muntu umue mu tshisa tshionso,
5 ne Yoshua wakabambila ne: “Pitayi kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa Nzambi wenu, nuye munkatshi mua Yadene, muntu yonso ambule dibue pa dikaya diende, bilondeshile bungi bua bisa bia bena Isalele,
6 bua ikale tshimanyinu munkatshi muenu. Bikala bana* benu banuebeje pashishe ne: ‘Mabue aa nga tshinyi?’+
7 nenubambile ne: ‘Bualu mâyi a Yadene avua mimane kumpala kua mushete+ wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa. Pavuawu musabuke Yadene, mâyi a Yadene akimana. Mabue aa neikale tshivulukilu tshia kashidi kudi tshisamba tshia Isalele.’”+
8 Nunku bena Isalele bakenza anu muvua Yoshua mubatumine dîyi bua kuenza. Bakangata mabue 12 munkatshi mua Yadene, anu muvua Yehowa muambile Yoshua bua kuenza, bua ikale bungi bumue ne bungi bua bisa bia bena Isalele. Bakaambula, kuyabu nawu muaba uvuabu ne bua kulala butuku, bobu kuateka muaba au.
9 Yoshua wakimanyika kabidi mabue 12 munkatshi mua Yadene muaba uvua makasa a bakuidi bavua bambule mushete wa tshipungidi mimane,+ ne mabue au adi muaba au too ne lelu.
10 Bakuidi bavua bambule Mushete bakashala bimane munkatshi mua Yadene too ne pakajika malu onso avua Yehowa mutumine Yoshua dîyi bua kuambila bantu bua kuenza, mu diumvuangana ne malu onso avua Mose mutumine Yoshua dîyi bua kuenza. Mutantshi wonso au, bantu bavua basabuka lukasa lukasa.
11 Diakamue pakajikija bantu bonso kusabuka, Mushete wa Yehowa ne bakuidi bakasabuka mu mêsu a bantu bonso.+
12 Bena Lubena, bena Gada, ne tshitupa tshia tshisa tshia Manashe bakasabuka badilongolole bua mvita+ kumpala kua bena Isalele bakuabu, anu muvua Mose mubambile bua kuenza.+
13 Basalayi batue ku binunu 40 bikale ne bia mvita bua kuluangana bakasabuka kumpala kua Yehowa mu mpata ya bipela ya Yeliko.
14 Dituku adi Yehowa wakatumbisha Yoshua ku mêsu kua Isalele mujima,+ ne bakamunemeka* bikole matuku ende onso a muoyo, anu muvuabu banemeka Mose bikole.+
15 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Yoshua ne:
16 “Tumina bakuidi badi bambule mushete+ wa Bujadiki dîyi bua bapatuke mu Yadene.”
17 Ke Yoshua kutumina bakuidi dîyi ne: “Patukayi mu Yadene.”
18 Pavua bakuidi bavua bambule mushete+ wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa bapatuke munkatshi mua Yadene ne makasa a bakuidi madiate pa buloba bume, mâyi a Yadene akatuadija kupueka kabidi, kuwulawu kupita too ne pa mikalu+ anu bu kumpala.
19 Bantu bakumbuka ku Yadene mu dituku dia dikumi dia ngondo wa kumpala, bobu kutudila ku Gilegala+ ku mukalu wa ku est kua Yeliko.
20 Bua mabue 12 avuabu bangate mu Yadene au, Yoshua wakaimanyika ku Gilegala.+
21 Pashishe wakambila bena Isalele ne: “Pikala bana benu bebeje batatuabu mu matuku alualua ne: ‘Mabue aa adi umvuija tshinyi?’+
22 nudi ne bua kumvuija bana benu ne: ‘Bena Isalele bavua basabuke Yadene pa buloba bume+
23 pavua Yehowa Nzambi wenu mumishe mâyi a Yadene kumpala kuabu too ne pavuabu bamusabuke, anu muvua Yehowa Nzambi wenu muenze ku Mbuu Mukunze pavuaye mumumishe kumpala kuetu too ne patuvua bamusabuke.+
24 Uvua muenze nunku bua bisamba bionso bia pa buloba bimanye mudi tshianza tshia Yehowa tshikale+ ne bukole ne bua nuikale nutshina Yehowa Nzambi wenu misangu yonso.’”
