UJoshuwa wasebuthanisa zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli eShekema, wabiza abadala bakoIsrayeli lenhloko zabo labahluleli babo lenduna zabo, bazimisa phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

2 Anante Josua'a ana maka veara amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo amanage huno hu'ne, Korapara neramageho'za Yufretisi timofo kantu kaziga mani'ne'za havi anumzantaminte monora hunteme azageno eno, neramageho Abrahamune Nahori kizani neznafa Tera knafina ehanati'ne.

5 Hanki anantera Mosesene Aroninena huzanantogeke Isipi vake'na, tusia knazanteti Isipi vahera zamazeri haviza nehu'na, tamagrira anampinti Nagra'a tamavre'na atiramino'e.

Ngasengililetha elizweni lamaAmori ayehlala ngaphetsheya kweJordani, asesilwa lani, ngawanikela esandleni senu, lalidla ilifa lelizwe lawo, ngawachitha phambi kwenu.

9 Hagi henka Moapu kini ne' Zipori nemofo Baraki'ma Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteku'ma nehuno'a, Beori nemofo Balamuna Israeli vahe kazusi ke huzmantenogu kea atrente'ne.

10 Hianagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Balamu'ma hiankea antahiomi'na, nagra hugeno asomu ke huramante'ne. Hige'na Nagra Balaki azampintira tamagu'vazi'noe.

13 Hanki tamagra'a eri'zana e'ori'naza mopane, tamagra'a onki'naza ranra kumatamugeta nemanita, tamagra'a tamazampinti onkri'naza waini hozafinti'ene olivi hozafintira tagitma ne'naze.

Ngasengilinika ilizwe elingalisebenzelanga, lemizi elingayakhanga, lihlala kiyo. Lidla okwezivini lezivande zemihlwathi elingakuhlanyelanga.

14 E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamofona koro huntetma tamagu'areti tamage hutma monora hunenteta eri'zana erinteho. Hagi timofo kantu kaziga Isipima tamagehe'zama mani'ne'za mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamintera monora huonteta, Ra Anumzamofonke monora hunteho.

30 Hige'za Gasi agonamofo noti kaziga Efraemi naga'mokizmi agona mopamofo asoparega, Timnat Sera rankumate agra'ama erisantimahare'nea mopafi asente'naze.
