Hagi kuma'ma eri havizama hanafintira mago'zana e'oritfa hiho huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli nagara zmasami'neana, zamagra Agri kea eritre'za amagera onte'naze. Juda naga nofipinti nera Akanina Kami kasentegeno, Kamina Zimri kasentegeno, Zimrina Zera kasentegeno hu'nea ne'mo Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli nagara e'oriho huno'ma hunagru'ma huzmante'nea zana e'rinegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.
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.
Hagi Jerikoma mani'nazareti Josua'a mago'a vahera huzmantege'za Ai kumate vu'naze. Ana kumara Bet-aven kuma tavaonte, Betel kumamofo zage hanati kaziga me'negeno, amanage huno huzmante'ne, frakita vuta ana kumara ome afureta keho. Hige'za kema hiaza hu'za Ai kumara ome afure'za ke'naze.
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.”
Hanki ana vahe'mo'za vute'za eza Josuana amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze, rama'a vahera zamatrege'za Ai kumate vahera hara ome huozamanteho. Na'ankure rama'a vahera omani'nazanki, ana maka vahera huzmantenka zamazeri amuhoa osunka, 2 tauseni'o 3 tauseni'a vahe'naza huzmantege'za vu'za hara ome huzmanteho.
4 Naizvozvo kwakaenda varume zviuru zvitatu; asi vakamhanyiswa zvakaipisisa navarume veAi,
Anante 3 tauseni'a vahe naza mareriza Ai kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera zamahe'za zamagene rage'za fre'za e'naze.
5 avo vakauraya vaIsraeri makumi matatu navatanhatu vavo. Vakavadzinganisa kubva pasuo reguta kusvikira kuShebharimu vakavaurayira pamawere, ipapo mwoyo yavanhu yakanyongodeka ikaita semvura.

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.
Josua'a ana zanku antahintahi hakare nehuno, kukena'a tagato nehuno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga avugosaregati umseno mani'negeno kinaga se'ne. Hagi miko Israeli kva vahe'mo'za Josua'ma hiaza nehu'za zamagra zamanunte kugusopa eri'za nefre'za, Josua'ene zmasunku nehu'za mani'nageno vuno kinga se'ne.
7 Zvino Joshua akati, “Haiwa! Ishe Jehovha, makamboyambutsirei vanhu ava Jorodhani kuti mutiise mumaoko avaAmori kuti vatiparadze? Dai takangogutsikana hedu takagara mhiri kweJorodhani!
Hanki anante Josua'a amanage hu'ne, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamoka kagra Jodani timofo kama kaziga Amori vahe'mo'za tazeri haviza hanazegu tavrenka e'nampi? Tagrama timofo kantu kazigama manisune hutama hu'nontegama manusina, amanahu zana forera osigeta knare huta manusine.
8 Haiwa Ishe, ndingatiiko zvino vaIsraeri zvavakundwa navavengi vavo?

9 VaKenani navamwe vanhu vari munyika muno vachazvinzwa vagotikomberedza nokubvisa zita redu pano pasi. Zvino muchagozoitei nezita renyu guru?”
Hanki Kenani vahe'mo'zane ama ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za ama anazamofo kema nentahi'za tagrira tavazagikagi'za tahe fanane hanageno, ama mopafina tagia omanegahie. Hanki kagri rankagima huhavizama osnagura kagra na'a hugahane?
10 Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Simuka! Wawireiko pasi nechiso chako?
Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka mopafina kavugosaregatira masetenka mani'nane, otio.
11 VaIsraeri vatadza; vadarika sungano yangu, yandakavarayira kuti vaichengete. Vatora zvimwe zvezvinhu zvakatukwa; vaba, vanyepa, vazvivhenganisa nezvinhu zvavo.
Hanki kotazana ko huvempa hu'na, Jeriko kumapima me'nea zantamina nagrike zanki maka eri havizama hiho hu'na huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'noana, Israeli naga'mo'za keni'a rutagre'za kumi hu'naze. Zamagra mago'azana musufase'za, zamagra'a fenozampi erinte havia hu'naze.
12 Ndokusaka vaIsraeri vasingagoni kumisidzana navavengi vavo; vanofuratira vachitiza nokuti vava vanhu vakatukwa.
E'ina hu'negu Israeli naga'mo'za oti hanaveti'ne'za ha' vahe'zaminena hara osu'za, rukrahe hu'za ha' vahe'zmi koro fre'naze. Hanki eri haviza hiho hu'nama hunagru'ma huramante'noa zantamima erihavizama osnazana, Nagra tamagranena omanitfa hugahue.
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.
Otinka Israeli vahera zamazeri agru nehunka zamasamio, zamagra'a zamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure okina Ra Anumzamo'na tamagrane eme keaga hugahie. Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo'na amanage nehue, maka eri havizama hiho hu'noa zantamina eri'za e'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagra ana zantamina eritre hana hutetage ha' vahetamia hara hu zamagateregahaze.
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.
Hagi oki nanterana maka'motma eme atru hutetma taisi zokago reta kenkeno, ina nofipinti Ra Anumzamo'a huhamparigahie ana nofipintira nagate nagate etere nehanageno Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nia nagapinti magoke magoke vene'ne etere hiho.
15 Uyo achawanikwa ane zvinhu zvakatukwa achaparadzwa nomoto, nazvose zvaanazvo. Akanganisa sungano yaJehovha uye aita chinhu chinonyadzisa muIsraeri!’”
E'ina hanageno'a maka'zama eri haviza hihoma hu'noa zantamima erino e'nesimo'a eama hanigeta, anamofona, agri'ene naga'ane ana maka zama'anena tevefi krerasageho. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzamo'nema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'naza kea rufutagino Israeli vahera tusi'a zamagaze eri'zami'ne.
16 Mangwana mangwanani Joshua akati vaIsraeri vauye rudzi norudzi; rudzi rwaJudha rukabatwa.
Higeno Josua'a nanterampi otino Israeli vahera kehige'za nofite nofite neazafinti, Juda naga nofi zamazeri'ne.
17 Dzimba dzokwaJudha dzakauya mberi imba yavaZera ikabatwa. Akauyisa imba yavaZera nemhuri dzayo, Zimiri akabatwa.
Anante Josua'a Juda naga nofira zamavareno Ra Anumzamofonte e'ne, ana higeno Zera naga zamazeri fore hige'za ana nagapintira vene'ne'age'za neage'za Zabti azeri'ne.
18 Joshua akauyisa mhuri yake munhu nomunhu, uye Akani mwanakomana waKami, mwanakomana waZimiri, mwanakomana waZera, worudzi rwaJudha, akabatwa.
Hagi anante Zabti nagapinti vene'neneraminke ageno Josua'a zamazeri otiteno, anampinti Akani avazu hu'ne. Hagi Akanina Karami kasentegeno, Karamina Zapti kasentegeno, Zaptina Zera kasente'ne. Hagi Zera'a e'i Juda naga nofipinti ne' mani'ne.
19 Ipapo akati kuna Akani, “Mwanakomana wangu, ipa mbiri kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ureurure kwaari. Ndiudze kuti chii chawaita; usandivanzira.”
Anante Josua'a Akaninkura amanage hu'ne, Ne'nimoka Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzana ra agi neminka agi'a ahentesga huo. Hanki kagra na'a hu'nampi nasmio, nagri navufina mago'zana erifrara okio.
20 Akani akapindura achiti, “Ichokwadi! Ndakatadzira Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri. Izvi ndizvo zvandakaita:
Anante Akani'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Tamage hu'na nagra Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'noe. Hagi nagra na'a hu'nofi kagrira kasmigahue.
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.”
Jeriko rankuma'ma ha'ma huzamagatere nompintira, kogeno mago knare zantfa hu'nea Babiloniti za'za kukenane, mago'a silva kna'amo'a 4'a kilogi, golia kna'amo'a mago kilo hu'neana kogeno nanunu hige'na, eri'na e'noe. Ana zantamina erina seli noni'afi mopa kafi'na silva antete'na ana agofetu mago'azana ante'na asente'noe.
22 Naizvozvo Joshua akatuma nhume, vakamhanyira kutende, vakanowana zviriko, zvakavigwa mutende rake, sirivha iri pasi.
Higeno Josua'a kato vahe huzmantege'za zamagare'za vu'za Akani seli nompima ome kazana, Akani'ma hu'nea kante anteno ana silva frakino fenamete megeno, mago'azana anaga me'nege'za ome ke'naze

Hagi zamagra ana maka zana ana seli nompintira eri'za Josuane maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavuga Ra Anumzamofo avure eme herafi'naze.
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.

25 Joshua akati, “Watipinzireiko mudambudziko iri? Jehovha achakupinza mudambudziko nhasi.” Ipapo vaIsraeri vose vakamutema namatombo, uye shure kwokuvatema vose, vakavapisa nomoto.
Anante Josua'a Akanina amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka tagrira hazenkefina tavrentane? Ra Anumzamo menina kagri'enena hazenkea kamigahie. Anante maka Israeli vahe'mo'za have kanonteti Akanine ana maka naga'anena zamahe frite'za zamagri'ene ana maka zazminena tevefi kre fanane hu'naze.
