1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima. Tenga gulu lonse la nkhondo, ndipo upite ku Ai. Taona, ndapereka mfumu ya Ai pamodzi ndi anthu ake, mzinda wake ndi dziko lake lonse mʼmanja mwako.
Hanki anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Korora osuge, atregeno kagu'amo'a kna osino. Maka sondia vahera zamavarenka marerinka Ai kumara hara ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Nagra Ai kuma'mofo kini ne'ma, vahe'ama, ran kuma'ane, mopa'anena ko kagri kzampi ante'noe.
2 Mzinda wa Ai ndi mfumu yake muchite monga munachita ndi mzinda wa Yeriko ndi mfumu yake, koma katundu wa mumzindamo ndi zoweta mukazitenge ndi kuzisunga kuti zikhale zanu. Mukalalire mzinda wa Ai ndi kuwuthira nkhondo kuchokera kumbuyo.”
Kagra Jeriko kini ne'ene rankuma'anema hu'nanaza hunka, Ai rankuma'mofo kini ne'ene ana maka'zana eri haviza huo. Hianagi ana kumapinti'ma maka tamavesisia zantamine bulimakao afutaminena tamagra'a suza avreta viho. Hanki menina ha'ma hanagu tro nehuta, mago'a sondia vahera huzmantenke'za rankumamofo mefiga'a kafona omenteho.
3 Kotero Yoswa ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo anakonzeka kupita ku Ai. Iye anasankha amuna 30,000 odziwa kumenya nkhondo bwino ndipo anawatumiza usiku
Anagema hige'za Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'mo'za Ai kumate vahera ha' huzmantenaku vu'naze. Hanki koro osu'za hanaveti'za ha'ma nehaza vahe Josua'a 30 tauseni'a huzmantege'za kenageke vu'naze.
4 nawapatsa malamulo awa kuti, “Mvetsani bwino; mukabisale kuseri kwa mzindawo. Musakapite patali ndi mzindawo, koma nonsenu mukakhale okonzekera nkhondo.
Hagi nevzageno Josua'a amanage huno huzmante'ne, Ama nanekea tamagesa anteta antahiho, tamagra rankuma'mofo tvaonte amefiga'a kafo ome anteta hahu'are tro huta umaniho.
5 Ine ndi gulu langa lonse tikayamba kuwuputa mzindawu, ndipo akadzangotuluka kudzalimbana nafe, ife tidzawathawa monga tinachitira poyamba.
Hanki nagranema mani'naza sondia vahe'enena rankuma'mofona avugati vugahune. Hanki Ai rankumapi vahe'mo'zama ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za ha'ma hurante'naku atiramiza esnageta, tagra ese knazupama hu'nonaza huta zamimi huta koro freta egahune.
6 Iwo adzatithamangitsa mpaka titawakokera kutali ndi mzindawo, pakuti iwo adzati, ‘Akutithawa monga anachitira poyamba.’ Pamene ife tizidzathawa,
Tagra zami'mi huta freta esunke'za, rankuma'zmia atre'za trotago hu'za afete'ma esu'za zamagra amanage hugahaze, ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za tagri koro fraze nehanageta, tagra zami'mi huta afete kna egahune.
7 inu mudzatuluke pamene mwabisalapo ndi kulanda mzindawo. Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakupatsani mzindawo.
Anama hanunketa tamagra kafoma antetama mani'nafintira atretma vutma, Ai rankumara ome eriho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a ana rankumara tazampi antegahie.
8 Mukakawulanda mzindawo mudzawuyatse moto. Mukachite monga mwa mawu a Yehova. Amenewa ndiwo malamulo amene ndakupatsani.”
Hagi tamagrama ana rankuma'ma ome eritesuta, teve tagintenkeno teno. Ra Anumzamo'ma nasamige'na tamasami'noa kante antetma anazana hiho.
9 Yoswa atawatumiza, anapita ku malo wokabisalakowo ndipo anadikirira kumeneko. Malowa anali pakati pa Beteli ndi Ai, kumadzulo kwa Ai. Koma Yoswa anagona usiku umenewu pakati pa gulu lake lankhondo.
Nehuno Josua'a ana sondia vahera huzmantege'za vu'za zagema ufre kaziga Ai rankuma'ene Beteli rankuma'mofo amu'nozanifi ome kafona ante'naze. Hianagi agra Josua'a ruga'a sondia vahezagane kumama ome ante'za mani'narega ana kenagera mani'ne.
10 Mmawa mwake, Yoswa anadzuka nayitana asilikali ake. Tsono iye pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Aisraeli anatsogola kupita ku Ai.
Hanki Josua'a nanterampi otino sondia vahe'zaga kehu tru huteno, Israeli ranra vahera zamavareno ugota hige'za sondia vahe'ane Ai kumate vu'naze.
11 Gulu lonse la nkhondo limene linali ndi iye linatsogolako ndi kukamanga zithando pafupi ndi mzindawo chakumpoto mopenyana nawo. Pakati pa iwo ndi mzindawo panali chigwa.
Josua'enema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za rankumamofona avuga kazigati vurava'o hu'naze. Anante Ai rankumamofona noti kaziga mago agupo amu'nozamifina me'negeno kantu kaziga Ai rankuma me'nege'za, kamakaziga kumara omente'naze.
12 Yoswa anali atatenga asilikali 5,000 ndi kuwabisa pakati pa Ai ndi Beteli, kumadzulo kwa mzindawo.
Hagi Josua'a sondia vahera 5 tauseni'a naza ko huzamantege'za vu'za, Ai rankumamofo zage fre kaziga Ai kuma'ene Beteli kumamokizni amu'nompi kafona omente'naze.
13 Anakhazika anthuwo mokonzekera nkhondo. Gulu lalikulu la nkhondo linakamanga zithando zawo kumpoto kwa mzinda, ndipo gulu lina linakamanga zithando zawo kumadzulo kwa mzindawo. Usiku umenewo Yoswa anakagona ku chigwa.
Hanki ha'ma hanaza kankamuna amanahu hu'za retrora hu'naze. Ai rankumamofo noti kazigama tro'ma hu'za mani'naza sondia vahera rama'agna hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazage'za mago'a sondia vahera zage ufre kaziga kafonte'za mani'naze. Hanki Josua'a ana kenagera agra agupofi uramino umani'ne.
14 Mfumu ya Ai itaona ankhondo a Yoswa, inachita zinthu mofulumira. Inadzuka mmamawa ndipo inapita pamodzi ndi anthu ake ku malo otsika oyangʼanana ndi Araba kuti akachite nkhondo ndi Aisraeli. Koma iyo sinadziwe kuti ayithira nkhondo kudzera kumbuyo kwa mzindawo.
Hanki Ai kumate kini ne'mo'ma agra anama hazazama negeno'a, agrane maka vahe'ane, maka ana kumapi vene'nemo'za Israeli naga Jodani agupofi ha' huzmanteku nanterampi ame hu'za kumara atre'za atirami'za e'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate kini ne'mo'a kuma'amofo amefi'ama mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama kafoma omente'zama mani'nazana onke'ne.
15 Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anachita ngati agonja ndi kumathawira ku chipululu.
Anante Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'amo'za Ai kumate kini nera revatga hu'za ami'mi hu'za hagege kokama me'nerega fre'za vu'naze.
16 Anthu onse a ku Ai anawuzidwa kuti awapirikitse. Ndipo iwo anapirikitsadi Yoswa uja, ndi kupita kutali ndi mzinda wawo.
Hagi Ai kini ne'mo'ma zamagege'za Israeli naga'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koroma frazageno'a, maka venenema ana rankumapima mani'naza vahera ke hige'za, Israeli vahera zamarotago hu'za vu'naze. Ana hige'za kumazamia atre'za Josuane Israeli vahetamina zamarotgo hu'za afete vu'naze.
17 Palibe munthu wamwamuna wa mzinda wa Ai kapena wa Beteli amene sanatuluke kukapirikitsa Aisraeli. Iwo anasiya mzinda wosatseka ndi kumapirikitsa Aisraeli.
Hanki Ai kumate'ene Beteli kumate vene'nea magore hu'za kumazmia kegava hu'za omani'za, ana maka'mo'za atre'za Israeli vahe zamarotago hu'za vazageno, kuma kahamo'a hagro huno me'ne.
18 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Loza mkondo uli mʼdzanja lako ku Ai pakuti ine ndipereka mʼdzanja lanu mzindawo.” Kotero Yoswa analoza mkondowo ku Ai.
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne, Karugru keveka'a erisga hunka Ai kumatega agona'a hunto, na'ankure Ai kumara kagri kzampi Nagra menina antegahue. Anage higeno Josua'a krugru keve'a erisga huno Ai kumatega agona'a hunte'ne.
19 Atangotambalitsa dzanja lake, anthu amene anabisala aja ananyamuka msangamsanga pamalo pawo ndi kuthamangira kutsogolo. Iwo analowa mu mzindamo ndi kuwulanda ndipo anawutentha mofulumira.
Hanki Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisgama hige'za kafoma ante'naza sondia vahe'mo'za nege'za, kafoma ante'naretira ame hu'za oti'za zamagare'za Ai rankumapina ufre'za, kuma'ma maka erivagamanere'za ame hu'za ana kumara teve taginte'naze.
20 Anthu a ku Ai aja atangochewukira mʼmbuyo anaona utsi uli tolotolo. Koma mpata woti athawireko panalibe pakuti Aisraeli amene amathawira ku chipululu anabwerera nayamba kuwathamangitsa.
Hanki Ai kumate vene'nemo'zama rukrahe hu'zama kazana kuma'zamifintira tevegumo'a vemagu vemagu huno mareri'ne. Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koro'ma fre'za nevazaretira rukrahe hu'za, Ai nagara hara hu'zamante'za azageno, koro'ma fre'naza kazamia omnene.
21 Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse ataona kuti obisalira aja alanda mzinda ndipo kuti utsi unali tolotolo, iwo anatembenuka ndi kuyamba kupha anthu a ku Ai.
Anante Josua'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za Ai vahe'ma nevazareti'ma, kageno Ai rankumapinti'ma teve kumo'ma vemagu vemagu huno monaregama marerige'za nege'za ete rukrahe hu'za zamarotagoma hu'za nevaza Ai vahera zamahe'naze.
22 Nawonso Aisraeli amene anali mu mzindamo anatuluka kudzalimbana ndi anthu a ku Ai. Choncho iwo anazingidwa mbali zonse ndi Aisraeli ndipo onse anaphedwa. Palibe amene anatsala wamoyo kapena wothawa
Hanki Israeli sondia vahe'ma Ai rankumapima mani'naza naga'mo'za atiramiza Ai vahera zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naze. Ana hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ai vahera zamazeri amu'no hute'za magore hu'za ozamatre'za, ana maka zamahe hana hu'naze.
23 kupatula mfumu ya ku Ai yokha imene anayigwira nabwera nayo kwa Yoswa.
Hianagi magoke Ai kini ne'ke ahe ofri avre'za Josuante vu'naze.
24 Aisraeli aja atatha kupha anthu onse a ku Ai amene anali mʼthengo ndi mʼchipululu kumene anawapirikitsira, onse anabwerera ku Ai ndi kupha onse amene anali mu mzindamo.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za ha' vahezmima, ka'ma kokampi ome zamahe vaganere'za ete rukrahe hu'za vu'za, Ai rankumapima mani'naza vahera bainati kazinteti ome zamahe vagare'naze.
25 Chiwerengero cha anthu onse a ku Ai, amuna ndi akazi, amene anaphedwa pa tsiku limeneli chinali 12,000.
Hanki ana zupa 12 tauseni'a Ai kumate vene'nene a'nene zamahe fri'naze.
26 Yoswa sanatsitse dzanja lake limene ananyamula mkondo mpaka ataona kuti onse amene amakhala mu mzinda wa Ai aphedwa.
Hianagi Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisga huno agona'ama Ai kumategama hunte'nea azana erinte orami erisga hu'nege'za, maka Ai kumapima mani'naza vahera zamahe vagare'naze.
27 Tsono Aisraeli anatenga zoweta ndi katundu yense wa anthu ophedwa aja, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Yoswa.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma Josuama asmi'nea kante ante'za, zamagra'a suza bulimakao afutaminke nevre'za, Ai kumapintira mago'a zantaminena eri'naze.
28 Pambuyo pake Yoswa anawutentha mzinda wa Ai ndi kuwusiya bwinja monga ulili leromu.
Ana hutegeno Josua'a Ai rankumara teve tagintegeno tevemo te osavazigeno ana zantamimo'a hihi huno meno ama knarera e'ne.
29 Iye anapachika pa mtengo mfumu ya Ai ndipo anayisiya mpaka madzulo. Pomwe dzuwa linalowa Yoswa analamula kuti akachotse mtembowo ndi kukawutaya ku chipata cha mzindawo. Pamwamba pa mtembowo anawunjikapo mulu waukulu wa miyala. Muluwo ulipobe mpaka lero lino.
Anante Josua'a Ai kini nera anankempi nofi harari vazino mago zafare anakintegeno frino avufga'amo'a meno vuno kinaga ome se'ne. Hagi zagea tamifretegeno, Josua'a vahe huzmantege'za avufga'a eri'za Ai rankumamofo ufre kafante ome netre'za, ana agofetura have eri'za antehihi hazageno, ana haveramimo'a meno ama knarera ehanati'ne.
30 Ndipo Yoswa anamanga guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli pa phiri la Ebala.
Anante Josua'a Ebali agonafi mago kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzantega tro hu'ne.
31 Analimanga motsata zimene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova analamulira Aisraeli, ndiponso potsata zomwe zinalembedwa mʼbuku la malamulo a Mose kuti guwa lansembe likhale la miyala yosasemedwa ndi chitsulo. Pa guwalo anapereka kwa Yehova nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yachiyanjano.
Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamasami'nea kea amage nenteno, Mosese kasegefi me'nea kante'ene amage anteno aenireti taga hu'za eri fatgo osu'naza haveraminteti, mago kre fananema hu ofama hu ita trohu'ne. Ana itamofo agofetura tevefi kre fananehu ofane, Anumzanema mago zamarimpa hu ofa hu'naze.
32 Kenaka anthu onse akupenya, Yoswa analemba pa miyala chitsanzo cha malamulo amene Mose analemba.
Anante ko'ma Mosese'ma kre'nea kasegea Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavure Josua'a mago'a havemofo agofetu ete krente'ne.
33 Aisraeli onse, akuluakulu awo, atsogoleri awo ndi oweruza awo, alendo pamodzi ndi mbadwa, anayimirira mbali zonse ziwiri za Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, ena uku ena uku moyangʼanana ndi ansembe a Chilevi. Theka la anthu linayima patsogolo pa phiri la Gerizimu ndipo theka lina patsogolo pa phiri la Ebala, monga momwe Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anawalamulira mʼmbuyomo pamene anawapatsa malangizo podalitsa Aisraeli.
Ana maka Israeli vahe'ma ranra vahetamima keagama refkoma nehaza vahe'ma, sondia vahete kva vahe'ma, rurega vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza vahe'mo'za tare kevu vahera refko hu'naze. Ana hute'za mago kevu vahe'mo'za Gerisim agona tava'onte manizageno, mago kevu vahe'mo'za Ebeli agona tvaonte mani'naze. Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a amu'nozamifi me'ne. Hige'za ana vogisima pristi vahe'mo'zama erisgama hu'za vazazana maka veamo'za ke'naze. Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zamasamino, Kenani mopafima umaniteta tamazeri so'e hanigu Ramofontega hihoma hu'nea zana hu'naze.
34 Pambuyo pake Yoswa anawerenga mawu onse a malamulo, madalitso ndi matemberero monga momwe zinalembedwera mʼbuku la malamulo a Mose.
Anante maka asomu'ma huzmantesia ke'ne, zamazeri havizama hu kema Mosese'ma kasege avontafepima krente'neana maka vahe zamavuga Josua'a hamprine.
35 Yoswa anawerenga mawu onse amene Mose analamula, gulu lonse la Israeli limene linasonkhana likumva. Amayi, ana ndi alendo omwe okhala pakati pawo anali pomwepo.
Josua'a ana maka kasegema Mosese'ma kre'neana magore huno otreno hampri vagarege'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hanki a'ne'ma, mofavre zagama, ruregati vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza nena ana kea antahi'naze.
