Negiwachone Joshua niya, “Wan jotichu.” To Joshua nopenjogi niya, “Un ngʼa gini to bende ua kanye?”
9 Baphendula bathi, “Izinceku zakho zivela elizweni elikude njalo zikhangwe yindumela kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Ngoba sesezwa imibiko eminengi ngaye: konke akwenza eGibhithe,

14 Abako-Israyeli bahlola imiphako yabo kodwa-ke kabasabuzanga kuThixo.
Jotelo moko mag jo-Israel nobilo chiemb jogo ka ok gipenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach.
15 Ngakho uJoshuwa wenza isivumelwano sokuthula labo wabavumela ukuthi bahlale, njalo abathungameli bebandla bavumelana lalokhu ngesifungo.
Omiyo Joshua noketo winjruok mar kwe kodgi mondo oyienegi gidag kodgi, kendo jotelo ne opwodho ma ka gikwongʼore.
16 Sekwedlule insuku ezintathu benze isivumelwano lamaGibhiyoni, abako-Israyeli bezwa ukuthi lababantu babengomakhelwana, ababehlala eduzane labo.
Ndalo adek bangʼ kane giseloso winjruok gi jo-Gibeon, jo-Israel nowinjo ni jogo gin mana joma odak kodgi machiegni.
17 Abako-Israyeli baya emadolobheni abo ayebalisa iGibhiyoni, iKhefira, iBherothi leKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi.
Omiyo jo-Israel nowuok, to odiechiengʼ mar adek negichopo e miechgi madongo kaka: Gibeon, Kefira, Beeroth, kod Kiriath Jearim.
18 Kodwa abako-Israyeli kabazange babahlasele ngenxa yokuthi abathungameli bebandla babefunge ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli. Ibandla lonke lakhonona ngabadala bebandla;

19 kodwa bona bonke baphendula bathi, “Sibanike isifungo sethu ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli njalo asingeke sabathinta khathesi.
to jotelogo duto nowacho niya, “Wasemiyogi singruok marwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, omiyo koro ok wanyal mulogi.
20 Lokhu yikho esizakwenza kubo: Sizabayekela bahlale, ukuze ulaka lungezi kithi ngenxa yokwephula isifungo esasenza phambi kwabo.”
Ma e gima wabiro timonegi: ‘Wabiro wegi gidagi mondo kik mirima bi kuomwa nikech waketho kwongʼruok mane wasingonegi.’”
21 Baqhubeka bathi, “Bayekeleni bahlale, kodwa bazakuba ngababandi benkuni labakhi bamanzi abazasebenzela uzulu wonke.” Ngakho-ke isivumelwano sabakhokheli sagcinwa.
Negidhi nyime kagiwacho niya, “Wegi gidagi, mondo gibednwa jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jowa duto.” Omiyo jotelo norito singruok margi.
22 UJoshuwa wabiza wonke amaGibhiyoni wathi kuwo, “Kungani lisikhohlisile ngokuthi, ‘Sihlala khatshana lani, lina lihlala eduzane lathi kangaka?’
Eka Joshua noluongo jo-Gibeon kendo owachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne uwuondowa ka uwacho ni, ‘Wadak mochwalore kodu,’ to kuom adier udak mana butwa?
23 Seliqalekisiwe: kalisoze liyekele ukuba ngababandi benkuni labakhi bamanzi lisebenzela indlu kaNkulunkulu wami.”
Un joma okwongʼ! Ok unuwe tiyonwa kaka jobar yien gi joumb pi e od Nyasacha.”
24 Baphendula uJoshuwa bathi, “Izinceku zakho zatshelwa mgceke ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu walaya njani inceku yakhe uMosi ukuthi alinike ilizwe lonke lokuthi litshabalalise bonke ababakhele kulo lina lingakafiki. Ngakho-ke sesabela impilo zethu ngenxa yenu, yikho okwenze senza lokhu.
Negidwoko Joshua niya, “Jotichni notimo kamano nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi nochiko Musa jatichne mondo omiu pinyni duto kendo uneg ji duto modakie. Omiyo ne waluor nikech un, kendo mano ema nomiyo watimo kamano.
25 Sesizinikele ezandleni zenu. Yenzani kithi konke elikubona kufanele njalo kuqondile kini.”
Koro to wan e lweti. Timnwauru gimoro amora muneno ni ber kendo longʼonu.”
26 Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wabasindisa esandleni sika-Israyeli, njalo kabasababulalanga.
Omiyo Joshua nokonyogi kuom jo-Israel ma ok ginegogi.
27 Ngalelolanga wenza ukuthi amaGibhiyoni abe ngababandi benkuni labakhi bamanzi besebenzela uzulu njalo besebenza e-alithareni likaThixo endaweni eyayikhethwe nguThixo. Yikho abayikhona kuze kube lamhlanje.
E odiechiengʼno noketo jo-Gibeon obedo jobar yien gi joumb pi ni jo-Israel duto kendo ni tich kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye kama Jehova Nyasaye biro yiero. Kendo mano e gima gin nyaka chil kawuono.
