4 Vakauya nehondo dzavo dzose namabhiza nengoro zhinji zhinji, navanhu vazhinji kwazvo, vakanga vakawanda sejecha rapamahombekombe egungwa.
Mafumuwo anabwera pamodzi ndi ankhondo awo onse. Gulu la ankhondo linali lalikulu ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja. Analinso ndi akavalo ndi magaleta ambiri.

Mafumu onsewa anasonkhana pamodzi ndipo anamanga misasa yawo ku mtsinje wa Meromu, kuti amenyane ndi Israeli.
6 Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Usavatya nokuti mangwana nguva ino ndichavaisa vose vakatofa mumaoko avaIsraeri. Munofanira kutema marunda amakumbo amabhiza avo nokupisa ngoro dzavo.”
Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Usawaope chifukwa mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino ndidzawapereka kuti muwaphe. Akavalo awo muwadule matsinde ndipo magaleta awo muwatenthe ndi moto.”
7 Naizvozvo Joshua nehondo yake vakavavinga pakarepo paMvura yeMeromi vakavarwisa,
Kotero Yoswa pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo anafika kwa adani awo aja ku mtsinje wa Meromu modzidzimutsa ndi kuwathira nkhondo.

9 Joshua akaita kwavari zvakanga zvarayirwa naJehovha: Akatema marunda amabhiza akapisa ngoro dzavo.
Yoswa anawachita zimene Yehova analamula. Iye anadula matsinde a akavalo awo ndi kutentha magaleta awo.
10 Panguva iyoyo, Joshua akadzokera akatora Hazori ndokuuraya mambo waro. (Hazori waiva muzinda woumambo hwose uhu.)
Pambuyo pake Yoswa anabwera nalanda mzinda wa Hazori ndi kupha mfumu yake. (Nthawi imeneyo mzinda wa Hazori unali wopambana mizinda ina yonse).
11 Vakauraya nomunondo munhu wose aivamo. Vakavaparadza zvachose, vakasasiya chipi nechipi chaifema, uye akapisa Hazori pacharo nomoto.
Anapha aliyense wa mu mzindamo popanda wotsala wamoyo, ndipo mzinda wa Hazori anawutentha ndi moto.
12 Joshua akakunda maguta oumambo ose aya namadzimambo awo ndokuvauraya nomunondo. Akavaparadza zvachose, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha.
Yoswa analanda mizinda yonse ndi mafumu ake. Anthu onse anaphedwa ndi lupanga monga momwe analamulira Mose, mtumiki wa Yehova.
13 Asi vaIsraeri havana kupisa kana rimwe ramaguta akanga akavakwa pazvikomo zvavo, kusara kweHazori chete, rakapiswa naJoshua.

14 VaIsraeri vakatakura zvose zvavakapamba nezvipfuwo zvamaguta iwaya, asi vakaparadza zvachose vanhu vose, vakasasiya kana mumwe aifema.
Aisraeli anatenga zinthu zonse za mʼmizindayi pamodzi ndi ziweto kuti zikhale zawo, koma anapha anthu onse ndi lupanga osasiyako ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
15 Sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi muranda wake naJehovha, saizvozvo Mozisi akarayira Joshua, uye Joshua akazviita; hapana chaakasiya chisina kuitwa pane zvose zvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Monga momwe Yehova analamulira mtumiki wake Mose, nayenso Mose analamulira Yoswa ndipo Yoswa anachita chilichonse chimene Yehova analamulira Mose.
16 Naizvozvo Joshua akatora nyika yose iyi nyika yamakomo, neNegevhi, dunhu rose reGosheni, majinga ezvikomo zvokumavirira, neArabha namakomo eIsraeri namajinga awo,

atachita nawo nkhondo kwa nthawi yayitali.
19 Hakuna guta kana rimwe rakaita sungano yorugare navaIsraeri kunze kwavaHivhi vaigara muGibheoni, vavakatora vose pakurwa.
Palibe ngakhale ndi mfumu imodzi yomwe imene inachita mgwirizano wa mtendere ndi Aisraeli kupatula Ahivi okhala ku Gibiyoni. Koma mizinda ina yonse anachita kuyigonjetsa pa nkhondo.
20 Nokuti Jehovha ndiye akaomesa mwoyo yavo kuti varwe navaIsraeri, kuti vavaparadze zvachose, vavaparadze pasina kunzwira tsitsi, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Yehova anali atawumitsa mitima yawo kuti alimbane ndi Aisraeli kuti aphedwe popanda kuchitiridwa chifundo. Izi ndi zimene Yehova analamula Mose kuti zichitidwe.
21 Panguva iyoyo Joshua akaenda akandoparadza vaAnaki munyika yamakomo: kubva kuHebhuroni, nokuDhebhiri nokuAnabhi, nokubva munyika yose yamakomo yeJudha, uye nokubva munyika yose yamakomo yavaIsraeri. Joshua akavaparadza zvachose namaguta avo.
Pa nthawi imeneyi Yoswa anapita kukawononga Aanaki okhala mʼdziko lija la ku mapiri ku Hebroni, Debri, Anabu komanso madera onse a ku mapiri a Yuda ndi Israeli. Yoswa anawawononga onse pamodzi ndi mizinda yawo.
22 Hakuna vaAnaki vakasara munyika yeIsraeri: kusara kwomuGaza, nomuGati nomuAshidhodhi makasara vamwe.
Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsalako mʼdziko lonse la Israeli; komabe ku Gaza, ku Gati ndi Asidodi kokha ndi kumene anatsalako pangʼono.
