Zosua 5

1 Amori Kini vahe'ma Jodani timofo zage fre kazigama nemanimo'zane, Kenani Kini vahe'ma Meditereniani hagerimofo ankenaregama nemanimo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Jodani tima eri hagegema hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama Jodani tima takama he'naza kema nentahi'zageno, hanave'zamia omanege'za koro hu'za ha'ma hanaza zamagesa osu'naze.

Zvino madzimambo ose avaAmoni aigara kumavirazuva eJorodhani namadzimambo ose avaKenani vaigara pedyo negungwa vakanzwa kuti Jehovha akanga aomesa Jorodhani pamberi pavaIsraeri kusvikira vayambuka, mwoyo yavo yakarukutika vakasazova nokushinga nokuda kwavaIsraeri.

2 Hagi ana knafina Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne, Havereti asane kazina trohunka vene'neramine ne'mofavre naga'ma zamagoza anoma tagama osu'nesaza nagara taga huzamanto.

Panguva iyoyo Jehovha akataura naJoshua akati, “Gadzira mapanga amatombo anopinza ugodzingisa vaIsraeri zvakare.”

3 Higeno agra'a Josua'a havereti kazina trohuteno, ana vene'nene ne'mofavre nagara Ha'alotie nehaza osi agonare zamagoza anona taga huzmante'ne.

Naizvozvo Joshua akagadzira mapanga amatombo akadzingisa vaIsraeri paGibhea Hararoti (chikomo chezvikanda zvepamberi).

4 Hagi ha'ma huga vene'nema Isipiti'ma etirami'naza vahe'mo'za 40'a kafufima ka'ma kopima ne-eza fri vagare'nazagu Josua'a e'inahu zana huzamante'ne.

Joshua akavadzingisa nokuda kwechikonzero ichi: Varume vose vakabuda muIjipiti, varume vezera rehondo, vakafira munzira mugwenga mushure mokubuda muIjipiti.

5 Hanki ana maka vene'nema Isipiti'ma atre'zama etirami'naza vahe'mo'za zamagoza anona tagahute'za e'naze. Hianagi karankama ka'ma kopima ne-ezama kasezamante'naza vene'ne'a zamagoza anona taga osu'naze.

Vanhu vose vakabuda vakanga vadzingiswa asi vose vakaberekerwa mugwenga vachibva kuIjipiti vakanga vasina.

6 Israeli vahe'mo'za 40'a kafufi ka'ma kopina e'naze. Ha'ma huga vene'nema Isipiti'ma etirami'naza vahera e'ina knafi fri vagare'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo kea amage ontenagu, Agra amanage hu'ne, ana vene'nefintira magomo'e huno zamafahe'ima zamigahue hu'na amirimo'ene tumerimo'ma avite'nea mopama huvempama hu'zmante'noa moparera ovugahaze.

VaIsraeri vakanga vafamba mugwenga kwamakore makumi mana kusvikira varume vose vaiva vezera rehondo pavakabuda muIjipiti vafa, nokuti vakanga vasina kuteerera Jehovha. Nokuti Jehovha akanga apika kwavari kuti havaizoona nyika iyo yaakanga avimbisa madzitateguru avo kuti achatipa, nyika inoerera mukaka nouchi.

7 Ka'ma kopima zamagri noma erisagu'ma kasezmante'naza ne'mofavre'ramina Josua'a zamagoza anona taga huzamante'ne. Na'ankure karankama ne-eza zamagoza anona taga huozmante'nagu anara hu'ne.

Zvino akasimudza vanakomana vavo pachinzvimbo chavo, uye ivava ndivo vakanga vasati vadzingiswa naJoshua. Vakanga vasati vadzingiswa nokuti havana kunge vadzingiswa munzira.

8 Ana maka Israeli vene'nemo'za zamagoza anoma taga hute'za, kuma'ma ante'zama mani'nare mani'nageno, namuzmimo'a tegani'ne.

Shure kwokunge rudzi rwose rwadzingiswa, vakagara pavakanga vari pamisasa kusvikira vapora.

9 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, ko'ma tamagra Isipima mani'neta kazokzo eri'zama eneritma tamagazegu hu'nazane. Hianagi Nagra menina tamagri tamagaze zana eri netroe. Hige'za ana kumakura Gilgalie hu'za agia antemi'nageno, ana agimo'a meninena meno e'ne.

Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Nhasi ndabvisa kuzvidzwa kweIjipiti pamuri.” Saka nzvimbo iyoyo yakanzi Girigari, kusvikira nanhasi.

10 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za Jeriko agupofi Gilgali kumate mani'ne'za, ese ikana 14ni knamofo kinaga Ra Anumzamo'ma ozamahe zamagatere'nea zanku antahimi'za ra ne'za kre'za nene'za musena hu'naze.

Madekwana ezuva regumi namana romwedzi, vaIsraeri vari pamisasa paGirigari pamapani eJeriko, vakapemberera Pasika.

11 Ana ne'zama nete'za, anante knazupa Kenani mopafinti ne'zana agafa hu'za zo'ore bretine, kre hagege hu witinena ne'naze.

Zuva raitevera shure kwePasika, musi wacho chaiwo, vakadya zvimwe zvezvibereko zvenyika iyoyo: chingwa chisina mbiriso nezviyo zvakakangwa.

12 Israeli naga'mozama Kenani mopafinti ne'zama agafama hu'za naza knazupage, mana ne'zamo'ma monafinti'ma eneramiazana vagare'ne. E'ina hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kafufina mana ne'zana e'ori'nazanki, Kenani mopafinti ne'zanke ne'naze.

Mana yakabva yaguma musi wakatevera shure kwokudya zvokudya zvenyika iyoyo; vaIsraeri havana kuzova nemanazve, asi vakadya zvibereko zvenyika yeKenani gore iroro.

13 Mago zupa Josua'a Jeriko kuma tvaonte emani'neno keana, mago ne'mo'a bainati kazina azampi eri'neno, avuga oti'negeno negeno urava'o huno, Kagra tagri vahepi, ha' vaheti mani'nane?

Zvino Joshua akati ava pedyo neJeriko, akasimudza meso ake akaona murume amire pamberi pake akabata munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake. Joshua akaenda kwaari akabvunza achiti, “Uri mumwe wedu here kana wavavengi vedu?”

14 Higeno ana ne'mo'a huno, A'o nagra kagri kaziga vahera omani'na, ha' vahe kaziga vahera omaninoanki, nagra Ra Anumzamofo sondia vahete ugota kva ne' e'noe. Higeno Josua'a avugosaregati kepri huno agiafi renareno amanage hu'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na na'a hugahufi nasamio.

Iye akapindura achiti, “Kwete, asi ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaJehovha.” Ipapo Joshua akawira pasi nechiso chake akanamata, uye akamubvunza achiti, “Ishe wangu, mune shoko reiko kumuranda wenyu?”

15 Higeno Ra Anumzamofo sondia vahete ugota kva ne'mo'a Josuana amanage huno asmi'ne, Kagra kaga nona katufe tro. Na'ankure amama oti'nana mopamo'a ruotage hu'ne. Higeno Josua'a kema hiaza huno agia nona katufetre'ne.

Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akapindura achiti, “Bvisa shangu dzako mutsoka dzako nokuti nzvimbo yaumire itsvene.” Joshua akaita saizvozvo.
