Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi; pea naʻa nau hiki mei Sitimi, ʻo hoko ki Sioatani, ʻaia mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo nofo ʻi ai ʻi he teʻeki ke aʻa atu.
2 Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị, ndịisi ụmụ Izrel gabigara jegharịa nʼetiti ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ,
Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau matāpule ki he fakataha ʻoe kautau:

Pea naʻa nau fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hoʻomou mamata ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻoku haʻamo ia, ke mou hiki ai mei homou potu, ʻo muimui ki ai.
4 Ma a ga-enwe oke nʼetiti unu na ha, ihe dịka otu kilomita site nʼebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị. Unu agaghị abịaru ya nso. Nke a bụ maka ị mara ụzọ unu ga-eso, nʼihi na unu esibeghị nʼụzọ a gaa ije mbụ.”
Ka ʻe ai ha vahaʻa ʻiate kimoutolu mo ia, ko e hanga ʻe fā afe nai hono fuofua: ʻoua naʻa mou hoko ke ofi ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mou ʻalu ai: he ʻoku teʻeki ai te mou fou ʻi he hala ni.”
5 Joshua gwara ndị Izrel sị, “Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, nʼihi na echi ka Onyenwe anyị ga-eme oke ihe ebube dị iche iche nʼetiti unu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻae ngaahi mana ʻiate kimoutolu.”
6 Joshua gwara ndị nchụaja sị ha, “Bulienụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, gabiga nʼihu ndị Izrel.” Ha buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, bido ịga nʼihu ụmụ Izrel.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kakai.”
7 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua sị, “Taa, ka m ga-amalite ime ka ị dị ukwuu nʼanya ụmụ Izrel niile, ka ha niile mata na dịka m si nọnyere Mosis, otu a ka m ga-esi nọnyere gị.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Ko e ʻaho ni te u kamata fakahikihiki koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau ʻilo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe.
8 Ị ga-enye ndị nchụaja bụ ndị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ iwu si, ‘Mgbe unu ruru nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan, banyekwanụ gaa guzo nʼime osimiri ahụ.’”
Pea ke fekau ʻe koe ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo pehē, ʻI hoʻomou hoko ki he veʻevai ʻo Sioatani, te mou tuʻumaʻu pe ʻi Sioatani.”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua gwara ụmụ Izrel niile sị, “Bịanụ nso, bịanụ nụrụ okwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Mou haʻu ki heni, pea fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”
10 Otu a ka unu ga-esi mata nʼezie na Chineke dị ndụ nọ nʼetiti unu, unu ga-amatakwa na ọ ghaghị ịnapụ ndị Kenan, na ndị Het, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Periz, na ndị Gigash, na ndị Amọrait, na ndị Jebus ala ha nʼihu unu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Te mou ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe kapusi ʻe ia mei homou ʻao ʻae kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Sepusi.
11 Lee, igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe ụwa niile ga-agabiga nʼihu unu banye nʼime Jọdan.
Vakai, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻao ki loto Sioatani.
12 Ugbu a sitenụ nʼebo Izrel niile họpụta ndị ikom iri na abụọ, site nʼebo ọbụla otu onye.
Pea ko eni, mou fili ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e tangata pe taha mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē.
13 Ngwangwa ndị nchụaja bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe ụwa niile zọnyere ụkwụ na Jọdan, mmiri Jọdan nke si nʼebe elu ya na-arịdata ga-akwụsị ịsọ, guzoro dịka mgbidi.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ke tuʻu ki he vai ʻo Sioatani, ʻe motuhi leva ʻae vai ʻo Sioatani mei he vai ʻoku tafe hifo; pea ʻe tuʻu fakaʻesi pe ia.”
14 Ya mere, mgbe ndị Izrel sitere nʼụlọ ikwu ha bilie njem ịgabiga osimiri Jọdan, ndị nchụaja bụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ buuru ha ụzọ na-aga ha nʼihu.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hiki ʻae kakai mei honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ke ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava;
15 Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi ọbụla, osimiri Jọdan na-etoju etoju, sọjukwaa akụkụ ya niile. Ma ngwangwa ndị nchụaja bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ a bịaruru nso zọnye ụkwụ ha nʼọnụ mmiri Jọdan,
Pea ʻi he hoko ki Sioatani ʻakinautolu naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, pea tuʻu ki he veʻevai ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, (he naʻe fonu mahakehake ʻa Sioatani, ʻi hono ngaahi ngutu vai kotoa pē ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē ʻoe ututaʻu, )
16 mmiri si nʼelu elu osimiri ahụ kwụsịrị ịsọ, ọ gara elu tụkọta onwe ya dịka mgbidi nʼebe dị anya, nʼobodo a na-akpọ Adam, nke dị nso obodo Zaretan. Ebe mmiri nke na-eruda na-asọbanye osimiri Araba, ya bụ, osimiri Nnu kwụsịrị ịsọ kpamkpam. Ya mere, ndị Izrel gabigara na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
ʻIloange ko e ngaahi vai naʻe tafe mai naʻe tuʻu, pea tupu hake ʻo fakatafungofunga, ʻo vāmamaʻo ʻaupito mei he kolo ko ʻAtama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻo Salitani: pea ko ia naʻe tafe mai ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻaia ko e tahi kona, naʻe mamaha ia, pea motuhi: pea naʻe aʻa ai ʻae kakai ʻo hangatonu ki Seliko.
17 Ndị nchụaja bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị guzoro nʼala akọrọ nʼetiti Jọdan, Izrel niile gabigakwara tutu ruo mgbe mba ahụ niile gafesịrị nʼala akọrọ.
Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi loto Sioatani, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he kelekele mōmoa, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
