1 Na tongo-tongo, Jozue mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele babimaki wuta na Shitimi mpe bakendeki kino na Yordani epai wapi batongaki molako na bango liboso ete bakatisa.
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 Sima na mikolo misato, bakambi bakomaki kotambola kati na molako
Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau matāpule ki he fakataha ʻoe kautau:
3 mpo na kopesa bato mitindo oyo: — Soki bomoni Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi komema yango, bolongwa na bisika oyo bozali mpe bolanda yango.
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 Bongo bokoyeba nzela nini bokoki kolanda mpo ete nanu botambola na nzela yango te. Kasi bozala mosika na Sanduku ya Boyokani, na bametele pene nkoto moko, bopusana pene na yango te.
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 Jozue alobaki na bato: — Bomibulisa, pamba te lobi, Yawe akosala makambo ya kokamwa kati na bino.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻae ngaahi mana ʻiate kimoutolu.”
6 Jozue alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe: — Bomema Sanduku ya Boyokani mpe botambola liboso ya bato. Batombolaki yango mpe batambolaki liboso ya bato.
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 Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Lelo, nakobanda kotombola yo na miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete bayeba ete nazali mpe elongo na yo ndenge nazalaki elongo na Moyize.
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 Yebisa Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemi Sanduku ya Boyokani: « Tango bokokoma pembeni ya mayi ya Yordani, botia makolo na bino kati na mayi mpe botelema wana. »
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 Jozue alobaki na bana ya Isalaele: — Bopusana awa mpe boyoka maloba ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
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 Bongo Jozue alobaki: — Ezali na nzela oyo nde bokoyeba solo ete Nzambe na bomoi azali elongo na bino mpe akobengana liboso na bino bato ya Kanana, ya Iti, ya Evi, ya Perizi, ya Girigazi, ya Amori mpe ya Yebusi.
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 Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ya mokili mobimba ekoleka liboso na bino kati na mayi ya Yordani.
Vakai, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻao ki loto Sioatani.
12 Sik’oyo, bopona bato zomi na mibale kati na mabota ya Isalaele, moto moko mpo na libota moko.
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 Mpe tango kaka Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakomema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nkolo ya mokili mobimba, bakotia matambe ya makolo na bango kati na Yordani, mayi na yango ekokabwana na biteni mibale; mayi oyo ekowuta na ngambo ya likolo ekotelema lokola mir.
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 Boye tango bato bakobima na molako mpo na kokatisa Yordani, Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakomema Sanduku ya Boyokani bakotambola liboso na bango.
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 Nzokande, na tango ya kobuka milona, mayi ya Yordani etondaka makasi penza. Kasi tango kaka Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemaki Sanduku bakomaki pembeni ya Yordani mpe batiaki matambe na bango kati na mayi,
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 mayi oyo ezalaki kowuta na ngambo ya likolo etikaki kotiola mpe esalaki lokola mir moko ya monene, mpe etikaki nzela moko ya monene wuta na engumba Adamu, oyo ezalaki pembeni ya Tsaritani; bongo na ngambo mosusu, mayi oyo ezalaki kokita kino na ebale monene ya Araba, ebale monene ya Barozo, ya lubwaku ya Yordani, esilaki nyonso. Bato bakatisaki kino na Jeriko oyo ezalaki liboso na bango.
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 Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe bapikamaki na mabele ya kokawuka, na kati-kati ya mayi ya Yordani, wana bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki koleka kino tango ekolo mobimba esilisaki kokatisa na mabele ya kokawuka.
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.
