2 Zvino Joshua akatuma vanhu kubva kuJeriko kuenda kuAi, iri pedyo neBheti Avheni kumabudazuva kweBheteri, akavaudza kuti, “Endai munosora nzvimbo iyi.” Naizvozvo varume vakaenda vakanosora Ai.
Esi woxɔ Yeriko teti ko la, Yosua ɖo ame aɖewo ɖa be woatsa ŋku le Ai, si te ɖe Bet Aven le Betel ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
3 Pavakadzoka kuna Joshua, vakati, “Hazvifaniri kuti vanhu vose vaende kundorwa neAi. Tumirai varume zviuru zviviri kana zvitatu kuti vaitore, mugorega kunetsa vanhu vose ava, nokuti ikoko kuna vanhu vashomanana chete.”
Ŋkutsalawo trɔ gbɔ va gblɔ na Yosua be, “Ai nye du sue aɖe ko, míaƒe aʋawɔla akpe eve alo akpe etɔ̃ gɔ̃ hã ate ŋu axɔ du la bɔbɔe, eya ta mehiã be mí katã míayi o.”
4 Naizvozvo kwakaenda varume zviuru zvitatu; asi vakamhanyiswa zvakaipisisa navarume veAi,
Ale woɖo aʋawɔla abe akpe etɔ̃ ene ko ɖa. Ke woɖu Israelviwo dzi bɔbɔe;

6 Zvino Joshua akabvarura nguo dzake akawira pasi nechiso chake pamberi peareka yaJehovha akaramba aripo kusvikira madekwana. Vakuru vavaIsraeri vakaitawo saizvozvo, vakadira guruva pamisoro yavo.

7 Zvino Joshua akati, “Haiwa! Ishe Jehovha, makamboyambutsirei vanhu ava Jorodhani kuti mutiise mumaoko avaAmori kuti vatiparadze? Dai takangogutsikana hedu takagara mhiri kweJorodhani!
Yosua do ɣli na Yehowa be, “Oo, Yehowa, nu ka ta nèkplɔ mí va tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la be Amoritɔwo nawu mí? Nu ka ta míekpɔ ŋudzedze le nu si nɔ mía si la ŋu o? Nu ka ta míetsi tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ o?

10 Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Simuka! Wawireiko pasi nechiso chako?
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Tsi tsitre! Nu ka ta nèmlɔ anyigba ale?
11 VaIsraeri vatadza; vadarika sungano yangu, yandakavarayira kuti vaichengete. Vatora zvimwe zvezvinhu zvakatukwa; vaba, vanyepa, vazvivhenganisa nezvinhu zvavo.
Israelviwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, wogbe nubabla si mewɔ kpli wo la dzi wɔwɔ. Wotsɔ nu siwo meɖe gbe be woatsrɔ̃ la dometɔ aɖewo, wofi wo, da alakpa, eye wotsɔ wo ɣla ɖe woƒe nuwo dome.

Esia ta wole Israelviwo dzi ɖum ɖo, eya ta wò aʋawɔlawo le sisim le woƒe futɔwo nu, elabena fiƒode le wo dzi. Nyemaganɔ mia dome azɔ o, negbe ɖeko miaɖe busunu si le mia dome la ɖa hafi.
13 “Enda unonatsa vanhu. Uvataurire kuti, ‘Zvinatsei muchigadzirira zuva ramangwana; nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: Chinhu chakatukwa chiri pakati penyu, imi vaIsraeri. Hamungagoni kumisidzana navavengi venyu kusvikira machibvisa.
“Tsi tsitre! Gblɔ na ameawo be, ‘Ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nawɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ɖa ƒe kɔnu, adzra ɖo na etsɔ si gbɔna, elabena Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be ame aɖe fi fi, eya ta miate ŋu aɖu miaƒe futɔwo dzi o va se ɖe esime miaɖe nu vɔ̃ sia ƒe busu ɖa le mia dome.
14 “‘Zvino mangwana mangwanani, munofanira kuzviratidza rudzi norudzi. Rudzi ruchabatwa naJehovha runofanira kuuya mberi imba neimba; imba ichabatwa naJehovha inofanira kuuya mberi, mhuri nemhuri; mhuri ichabatwa naJehovha inofanira kuuya mberi munhu nomunhu.
“‘Eya ta le ŋdi la, miava le ɖoɖo nu, to sia to nava, eye Yehowa afia asi to si me fɔɖila sia tso. To ma ƒe hlɔ̃wo ava ɖekaɖeka ekema Yehowa aɖe hlɔ̃ si me fɔɖila la le la afia, eye hlɔ̃ ma hã ƒe ƒomewo ava ɖekaɖeka. Le esia megbe la, ƒome si me fɔɖila la le la me tɔwo ava ɖekaɖeka.

Ekema woatɔ dzo ame si da le sea dzi la ƒe nuwo kple nu sia nu si nye etɔ la, elabena eda le Yehowa ƒe nubabla la dzi, eye wòhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va Israel dukɔ la dzi.’”
16 Mangwana mangwanani Joshua akati vaIsraeri vauye rudzi norudzi; rudzi rwaJudha rukabatwa.
Ale esi ŋu ke ŋdi kanya la, Yosua kplɔ Israelviwo ƒe towo va Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòtɔ asi Yuda ƒe to la dzi.
17 Dzimba dzokwaJudha dzakauya mberi imba yavaZera ikabatwa. Akauyisa imba yavaZera nemhuri dzayo, Zimiri akabatwa.
Yosua kplɔ Yuda ƒe hlɔ̃wo vɛ ɖekaɖeka, eye wòtɔ asi Zera ƒe hlɔ̃ la dzi. Wokplɔ ƒome siwo tso Zera ƒe hlɔ̃ me la va Yehowa ŋkume ɖekaɖekae, eye wòtɔ asi Zabdi ƒe ƒome la dzi.
18 Joshua akauyisa mhuri yake munhu nomunhu, uye Akani mwanakomana waKami, mwanakomana waZimiri, mwanakomana waZera, worudzi rwaJudha, akabatwa.
Ale mlɔeba la, wokplɔ Zabdi ƒe ŋutsuwo vɛ ɖekaɖeka, eye wokpɔ be fiafitɔ lae nye Akan, Karmi ƒe vi.
19 Ipapo akati kuna Akani, “Mwanakomana wangu, ipa mbiri kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ureurure kwaari. Ndiudze kuti chii chawaita; usandivanzira.”
Yosua gblɔ na Akan be, “Vinye, tsɔ bubu na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eye nàʋu nu vɔ̃ me; gblɔ nu si nèwɔ la nam.”
20 Akani akapindura achiti, “Ichokwadi! Ndakatadzira Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri. Izvi ndizvo zvandakaita:
Akan ɖo eŋu be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋu.
21 Pandakaona pakati pezvakapambwa nguo yakanaka yokuBhabhironi, mashekeri mazana maviri esirivha negoridhe rairema mashekeri makumi mashanu, ndakazvichiva ndikazvitora. Zvakavigwa pasi mutende, sirivha iri pasi pazvo.”
Mekpɔ awu nyui aɖe si woƒle tso Babilonia kple klosaloga home aɖe kpe ɖe sikakɔ aɖe ŋuti. Meɣla wo ɖe to me le nye agbadɔ me; klosalo la le nuawo te.”
22 Naizvozvo Joshua akatuma nhume, vakamhanyira kutende, vakanowana zviriko, zvakavigwa mutende rake, sirivha iri pasi.
Yosua ɖo ame aɖewo ɖa be woaɖadi nu fifiawo. Woƒu du yi Axan ƒe agbadɔ me, eye wokpɔ nu fifiawo le to me, klosalo la nɔ nu bubuawo te abe ale si Axan gblɔ ene.
23 Vakazvibvisa mutende, vakauya nazvo kuna Joshua nokuvaIsraeri vose, vakazviwadzira pamberi paJehovha.
Wolɔ nuawo katã va da ɖe anyigba le Yosua ƒe afɔ nu.
24 Ipapo Joshua, pamwe chete navaIsraeri vose vakatora Akani mwanakomana waZera, nesirivha, nenguo, negoridhe, navanakomana navanasikana vake, mombe dzake, nembongoro dzake namakwai ake, netende rake nezvose zvaaiva nazvo, vakaenda nazvo kuMupata weAkori.
Yosua kple Israelviwo katã kplɔ Akan, Zera ƒe vi, wotsɔ klosalo la, awu la kple sikakɔ la, eye wokplɔ via ŋutsuwo, via nyɔnuwo, eƒe nyiwo, tedziwo kple alẽwo, eye wokɔ eƒe agbadɔ kple nu sia nu si nɔ esi la yi Axor balime.
25 Joshua akati, “Watipinzireiko mudambudziko iri? Jehovha achakupinza mudambudziko nhasi.” Ipapo vaIsraeri vose vakamutema namatombo, uye shure kwokuvatema vose, vakavapisa nomoto.
Yosua gblɔ na Axan le afi ma be, “Nu ka ta nèhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va mía dzi ɖo? Yehowa ahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va wò hã dzi azɔ.” Ale Israelviwo ƒu kpe wo woku, wotɔ dzo wo,
26 Vakaunganidza murwi wamatombo mukuru pamusoro paAkani, uchiripo nanhasi. Ipapo Jehovha akadzora kutsamwa kwake kukuru. Naizvozvo nzvimbo iyi yakanzi Mupata weAkori kubvira ipapo.
eye wofɔ kpewo li kɔ ɖe wo dzi. Kpeawo gale afi ma va se ɖe egbe. Wogayɔa teƒe la be “Dzɔgbevɔ̃e Ƒe Balime” va se ɖe egbe. Ale Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la nu tso.
