Esi Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Domeƒu la nu se be Yehowa na Yɔdan tɔsisi la mie, ale be Israelviwo te ŋu zɔ ƒuƒuiƒe le tɔʋu la me hetso tɔsisia la, dzi ɖe le wo ƒo, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔŋutɔ.
2 Panguva iyoyo Jehovha akataura naJoshua akati, “Gadzira mapanga amatombo anopinza ugodzingisa vaIsraeri zvakare.”
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Tsɔ kpe nàwɔ hɛwo, eye nàtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã.”
3 Naizvozvo Joshua akagadzira mapanga amatombo akadzingisa vaIsraeri paGibhea Hararoti (chikomo chezvikanda zvepamberi).
Yosua wɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la dzi, eye wòtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã le Aralɔt togbɛ la gbɔ.
4 Joshua akavadzingisa nokuda kwechikonzero ichi: Varume vose vakabuda muIjipiti, varume vezera rehondo, vakafira munzira mugwenga mushure mokubuda muIjipiti.
Azɔ la, susu si ta wòwɔe ɖo lae nye esi: ame siwo katã do tso Egipte, ŋutsu siwo katã ate ŋu ayi aʋa la ku ɖe gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte.
5 Vanhu vose vakabuda vakanga vadzingiswa asi vose vakaberekerwa mugwenga vachibva kuIjipiti vakanga vasina.
Wotso aʋa na ame siwo katã do go tso Egipte, ke wometsoe na ame siwo katã wodzi le gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte la o.
6 VaIsraeri vakanga vafamba mugwenga kwamakore makumi mana kusvikira varume vose vaiva vezera rehondo pavakabuda muIjipiti vafa, nokuti vakanga vasina kuteerera Jehovha. Nokuti Jehovha akanga apika kwavari kuti havaizoona nyika iyo yaakanga avimbisa madzitateguru avo kuti achatipa, nyika inoerera mukaka nouchi.
Israel dukɔ la tsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ va se ɖe esime ŋutsu siwo katã tsi, eye woate ŋu ade aʋa esi wodzo le Egipte la ku. Womeɖo to Yehowa o, eya ta Yehowa ka atam be yemana woade anyigba si ŋugbe yedo na Israel, “Anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” la dzi o.
7 Zvino akasimudza vanakomana vavo pachinzvimbo chavo, uye ivava ndivo vakanga vasati vadzingiswa naJoshua. Vakanga vasati vadzingiswa nokuti havana kunge vadzingiswa munzira.
Ale Yosua tso aʋa na wo viŋutsuwo, ame siwo tsi va xɔ ɖe wo fofowo teƒe la azɔ.
8 Shure kwokunge rudzi rwose rwadzingiswa, vakagara pavakanga vari pamisasa kusvikira vapora.
Esi wotso aʋa na ŋutsuawo vɔ la, dukɔ blibo la tɔ ɖe asaɖa la me va se ɖe esime abiawo ku.
9 Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Nhasi ndabvisa kuzvidzwa kweIjipiti pamuri.” Saka nzvimbo iyoyo yakanzi Girigari, kusvikira nanhasi.
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Egbe la, miaƒe kluvinyenye le Egipte ƒe ŋukpe la ɖe ɖa,” eya ta woyɔa teƒe ma va se ɖe egbe be Gilgal, si gɔmee nye, “Ɖeɖeɖa.”
10 Madekwana ezuva regumi namana romwedzi, vaIsraeri vari pamisasa paGirigari pamapani eJeriko, vakapemberera Pasika.
Esime wonɔ asaɖa me le Gilgal le Yeriko gbedzi la, woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia ƒe fiẽ.
11 Zuva raitevera shure kwePasika, musi wacho chaiwo, vakadya zvimwe zvezvibereko zvenyika iyoyo: chingwa chisina mbiriso nezviyo zvakakangwa.
Gbe ma gbe ƒe fɔŋlie nye ŋkeke gbãtɔ si dzi woɖu nukuwo tso Kanaanyigba la dzi; woɖu bli meme kple amɔ maʋamaʋã.
12 Mana yakabva yaguma musi wakatevera shure kwokudya zvokudya zvenyika iyoyo; vaIsraeri havana kuzova nemanazve, asi vakadya zvibereko zvenyika yeKenani gore iroro.
Esi ŋu ke la, mana megadza o, eye womegakpɔe kpɔ va se ɖe egbe o! Eya ta tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woɖua Kanaanyigba dzi nukuwo.
13 Zvino Joshua akati ava pedyo neJeriko, akasimudza meso ake akaona murume amire pamberi pake akabata munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake. Joshua akaenda kwaari akabvunza achiti, “Uri mumwe wedu here kana wavavengi vedu?”
Esime Yosua nɔ teƒe si te ɖe Yeriko ŋu, eye wòfɔ kɔ dzi ko la, ame aɖe si lé yi ɖe asi la do ɖe eŋkume kpoyi! Yosua te ɖe eŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Mía dzie nèle loo alo míaƒe futɔe nènye?”
14 Iye akapindura achiti, “Kwete, asi ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaJehovha.” Ipapo Joshua akawira pasi nechiso chake akanamata, uye akamubvunza achiti, “Ishe wangu, mune shoko reiko kumuranda wenyu?”
Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe Aʋafiae menye.” Yosua tsyɔ mo anyi, de ta agu nɛ kple vɔvɔ̃, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔlae menye; nu ka nèdi be mawɔ?”
15 Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akapindura achiti, “Bvisa shangu dzako mutsoka dzako nokuti nzvimbo yaumire itsvene.” Joshua akaita saizvozvo.
Yehowa ƒe Aʋafia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe wò afɔkpa le afɔ, elabena teƒe kɔkɔe aɖee nètsi tsitre ɖo!” Yosua wɔ nu si Aʋafia la ɖo nɛ, heɖe eƒe afɔkpa la le afɔ.
