8 Taurira vaprista vanotakura areka yesungano uti: ‘Kana masvika panotangira mvura yeJorodhani, munofanira kupinda momira muJorodhani.’”
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.”

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 Ichi ndicho chinhu chamuchaziva nacho kuti Mwari wenyu mupenyu ari pakati penyu uye kuti zvirokwazvo achadzinga vaKenani mberi kwenyu, navaHiti, navaPerizi, navaGirigashi, navaAmoni navaJebhusi.
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.

Vakai, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻao ki loto Sioatani.
12 Naizvozvo, sarudzai varume gumi navaviri kubva kumarudzi avaIsraeri, mumwe chete kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe.
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 Uye vaprista vanotakura areka yaJehovha, Ishe wenyika yose, pavanongotsika netsoka dzavo muJorodhani, mvura yarwo inoerera ichibva kumusoro ichamira yoita murwi.”
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 Naizvozvo vanhu pavakasimuka kubva pamisasa kuti vayambuke Jorodhani, vaprista vakanga vakatakura areka yesungano vakavatungamirira.
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 Zvino Jorodhani runogara ruzere nguva yose yokukohwa. Asi vaprista vakanga vakatakura areka pavakangosvika paJorodhani tsoka dzavo dzichitsika kumucheto kwemvura,
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 mvura yaibva kumusoro yakabva yamira kuerera. Yakaungana ikaita murwi iri kure chaizvo, paguta rinonzi Adhama pedyo neZaretani, mvura yaiererawo ichidzika kuGungwa reArabha (Gungwa roMunyu) yakagurwa zvachose. Naizvozvo vanhu vakayambuka mhiri kwakatarisana neJeriko.
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 Vaprista vakanga vakatakura areka yesungano yaJehovha vakaramba vamire pavhu rakaoma pakati peJorodhani, vaIsraeri vose pavaipfuura, kusvikira rudzi rwose rwapedza kuyambuka napavhu rakaoma.
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.
