AmaGibhiyoni athumela ilizwi kuJoshuwa ezihonqweni zaseGiligali athi: “Ungalahli izinceku zakho. Woza ngapha kithi ngokuphangisa uzosisiza! Sincede, ngoba wonke amakhosi ama-Amori abusa emazweni asemaqaqeni asebambene ukuze alwisane lathi.”

Ngakho uJoshuwa wasuka eGiligali, wenyuka kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, elaligoqela wonke amadoda ayekwazi ukulwa.
8 Pakaiyin Joshua kommah “Amahokhu kicha hih’un, ajeh chu keiman amaho chunga khu galjona kapeh’u nahitauve. Amaho khatcha nangho masanga dingngam louding ahiuve.” Tin aseipeh tai.
UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Ungabesabi; sengibanikele esandleni sakho. Kakho loyedwa ozakwenelisa ukumelana lawe.”

Ngalelolanga uThixo wanikela ngalo ama-Amori kwabako-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wathi kuThixo phambi kwabako-Israyeli: “We langa, mana uthi mpo ngaphezu kweGibhiyoni, lawe nyanga, mana ngaphezu kweSigodi se-Ayijaloni.”
13 Hitichun nisa leh lha chu Israel nammiten agalmite ajokah seuvin ama muncheh’a adingden lhontan ahi. Hiche thilsoh hi Jashar lekhabua kijihlutna hilouham? Nisa chu vanlaijolla anading dennin nidanga nisalhum ngai bangin analhumpon ahi.
Ngakho ilanga lema lathi mpo, lenyanga yema, isizwe saze saphindisela ngokupheleleyo ezitheni zaso, njengoba kulotshiwe oGwalweni lukaJasha. Ilanga lema phakathi laphakathi kwesibhakabhaka laphuza ukutshona okosuku lonke.
