14 Abayisirayiri, awatali kumala kubuuza eri Mukama, ne bakkiriza okulya ku mmere y’abatambuze bano.
Aisraeli anatengako chakudya chawo koma sanafunse kwa Yehova.
15 Yoswa n’abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri ne bakola nabo endagaano y’emirembe era ne beerayirira obutabakolako kabi konna.
Choncho Yoswa anapangana nawo za mtendere kuti sadzawapha, ndipo atsogoleri a gulu anavomereza pochita lumbiro.
16 Nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu ng’endagaano ewedde okukola, Abayisirayiri ne bakivumbula ng’abantu abo baliraanwa baabwe.
Patatha masiku atatu atachita mgwirizano wa mtendere ndi Agibiyoni, Aisraeli anamva kuti anali anansi awo, anthu amene amakhala nawo pafupi.
17 Abayisirayiri ne bagenda okunoonyereza, ku lunaku olwokusatu ne batuuka mu bibuga by’abantu bano: Gibyoni, ne Kefira, ne Beroosi ne Kiriyasuyalimu.
Tsono Aisraeli ananyamuka ulendo ndipo tsiku lachitatu anafika ku mizinda ya Gibiyoni, Kefira, Beeroti ndi Kiriati-Yearimu.
18 Naye Abayisirayiri tebatta bantu bano kubanga abakulembeze baabwe baali baamala dda okwerayirira mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri obutabatta. Abayisirayiri bonna ne beemulugunyiza abakulembeze baabwe.
Koma Aisraeli sanawaphe anthuwo chifukwa atsogoleri awo anali atalonjeza mʼdzina la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli za Agibiyoniwo. Koma anthu onse anatsutsana ndi atsogoleriwo.
19 Naye bo abakulembeze ne bakakata nti, “Twamala dda okwerayirira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, tetuyinza kubatta.
Koma atsogoleriwo anayankha kuti, “Ife tinawalonjeza mʼdzina la Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, ndipo tsopano sitingawaphe.
20 Tetuteekwa kubatta kubanga twalayira obutakikola, singa tukikola obusungu bwa Katonda bujja kutubuubuukirako.”
Chimene tidzachita nawo ndi ichi: Tidzawasiya akhale ndi moyo kuti mkwiyo wa Yehova usatigwere chifukwa chophwanya lonjezo limene tinawalonjeza.”
21 Abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri ne bagamba nti, “Temubatta.” Bwe batyo ne bafuuka baakwasanga nku era n’okukimanga amazzi g’Abayisirayiri ng’abakulembeze bwe babalagira.
Anapitiriza kunena kuti “Asiyeni akhale ndi moyo, komabe akhale otidulira mitengo ndi kutitungira madzi ogwiritsa ntchito pa chipembedzo.” Lonjezo la atsogoleriwo linasungidwa.
22 Yoswa n’ayita abantu abo n’ababuuza nti, “Naye lwaki mwatulimba nti muli b’ewala, so nga ate muli baliraanwa baffe?
Kenaka Yoswa anayitanitsa Agibiyoni aja nawafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani inu munatinyenga ponena kuti mumachokera kutali pamene zoona zake nʼzoti mumakhala pafupi pomwe pano?
23 Kale nno kaakano mukolimiddwa, munaabeeranga baddu, baakwasanga nku era n’okukimanga amazzi mu nnyumba ya Katonda wange.”
Tsopano popeza mwachita izi, Mulungu wakutembererani ndipo palibe wina mwa inu amene akhale mfulu. Nthawi zonse inu muzidzatidulira nkhuni ndi kutitungira madzi ku Nyumba ya Yehova.”
24 Yoswa ne bamuddamu nti, “Abaddu bo kino twakikola lwa kubanga twawulira nti, Mukama Katonda wo yalagira omuddu we Musa okubawa ensi eno era n’okuzikiriza bonna abagibeeramu, bwe tutyo ne tutya nnyo ne twagala okuwonya obulamu bwaffe kye kyatukozeseza ekintu kino.
Iwo anayankha Yoswa kuti, “Ife akapolo anufe tinachita zimenezi chifukwa tinamva bwino lomwe kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu analamula Mose mtumiki wake kuti adzakupatsani dziko lonseli ndi kuti anthu onse okhalamo adzaphedwe. Tsono ife tinachita mantha aakulu ndipo tinachita zimenezi pofuna kupulumutsa miyoyo yathu.
25 Naye tuutuno kaakano tuli mu mukono gwo gw’omanyi eky’okutukolera.”
Tsopanotu ife tili mʼmanja mwanu, ndipo inu chitani nafe monga kukukomerani.”
26 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’awonya abantu bano mu mukono gw’Abayisirayiri, ne batabatta.
Tsono Yoswa anawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa Aisraeli ndipo sanawaphe.
27 Naye okuva olwo n’abafuula baakwasanga nku n’okukimiranga Abayisirayiri amazzi, era n’okuweerezanga ku kyoto kya Mukama mu kifo Mukama ky’anaalondanga okukiteekamu. Era bwe batyo bwe bakola ne leero.
Kuyambira tsiku limenelo Agibiyoni aja anasanduka odula nkhuni zaguwa lansembe la Yehova ndiponso otunga madzi. Mpaka lero lino iwo akuchitabe zimenezi kulikonse kumene Yehova anasankha.
