1 Esi Israelviwo xɔ anyigba vɔ megbe la, wo katã wova kpe ta ɖe Silo, eye wotu Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ ɖe afi ma.

2 Womema anyigba na Israel ƒe to adre haɖe o.
Kwasekusele phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezazingabelwanga ilifa lazo.
3 Ale Yosua bia Israelviwo be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie mialala hafi anya ame siwo le anyigba si Yehowa, mia Mawu la na mi la dzi?
UJoshuwa wasesithi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: Koze kube nini lidonda ukuyakudla ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo elinike lona?
4 Mitia ame etɔ̃ tso to ɖe sia ɖe me, eye madɔ wo ɖa be woayi aɖatsa ŋku le afi siwo dzi míeɖu haɖe o la dzi, ale be woana manya woƒe lolome kple anyigba la ƒe lolome si to ɖe sia ɖe adi be yeaxɔ, ekema mate ŋu amae na mi.
Zinikeni amadoda amathathu ngesizwe, ngiwathume, asukume ahambe adabule ilizwe, alibhale ngokwelifa lazo, abuye kimi.
5 Mama anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me: Yuda ƒe viwo anɔ woƒe anyigba dzi le dziehe, eye Yosef ƒe viwo anɔ anyiehe.
Azalehlukanisa libe yizabelo eziyisikhombisa; uJuda uzahlala emngceleni wakhe eningizimu, labendlu kaJosefa bahlale emngceleni wabo enyakatho.
6 Miŋlɔ nu tso anyigba la ƒe akpa adreawo ŋu tsɔ vɛ nam. Ekema mada akɔ ɖe edzi le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume ale be manya ale si mama anyigba lae.
Lani lizabhala ilizwe ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa, beseliletha kimi lapha, ukuthi ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
7 Ke miɖo ŋku edzi be womama anyigba na Levitɔwo o, elabena Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo wonye, eye woƒe nunɔladɔe nye woƒe domenyinu wɔnuku la. Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã magaxɔ anyigba aɖeke o, elabena woxɔ anyigba xoxo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, afi si ŋugbe Mose do na wo.”
Ngoba amaLevi kawalasabelo phakathi kwenu, ngoba ubupristi beNkosi buyilifa labo. LoGadi loRubeni lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase sebethethe ilifa labo ngaphetsheya kweJordani empumalanga, uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyabanika lona.
8 Ame siwo wotia la dze mɔ be woata anyigba la vɛ na Yosua ekema ate ŋu ama anyigba la na toawo to akɔdada le Yehowa ŋkume me.
Asesuka amadoda ahamba. UJoshuwa wawalaya ahambayo ukubhala ilizwe esithi: Hambani lidabule ilizwe lilibhale, libuyele kimi, ukuze ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi eShilo.
9 Ame tiatiawo wɔ abe ale si woɖo na wo ene. Woma anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me, woŋlɔ du siwo nɔ mama ɖe sia ɖe me la da ɖi, eye wotrɔ va Yosua gbɔ le asaɖa la me le Silo.
Ngakho amadoda ahamba adabula phakathi kwelizwe, alibhala ngemizi ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa egwalweni; asebuya kuJoshuwa enkambeni eShilo.
10 Le afi ma, le asaɖa la me le Silo la, Yehowa fia Yosua to akɔdada la me, ale si wòama anyigba lae na to vovovoawo.
