Siosiua 20
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova foki kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,
Pambuyo pake Yehova anati kwa Yoswa:
2 Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Fili moʻomoutolu ʻae ngaahi kolo ke hūfanga ki ai, ʻaia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese:
“Uza Aisraeli kuti apatule mizinda yopulumukiramo, monga ine ndinakulangizira kudzera mwa Mose,
3 Koeʻuhi ke hola ki ai ʻae fakapō ʻaia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha ʻo taʻeloto ki ai: pea ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko homou hūfanga mei he totongi toto.
kuti aliyense amene wapha munthu mosazindikira osati mwadala azithawirako. Motero adzatetezedwa kwa wolipsira.
4 Pea ka tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi kolo ni, ʻaia ʻoku ne hola ki ai, ʻo ne fakamatala ʻene meʻa ʻi he telinga ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia, tenau ʻave ia ki he kolo kiate kinautolu, ʻonau tuku kiate ia ha potu, ke ne nofo ai mo kinautolu.
Ngati munthu wathawira ku umodzi mwa mizinda imeneyi, akafike pa malo oweruzira milandu amene ali pa chipata cha mzindawo ndipo akafotokoze mlandu wake pamaso pa akuluakulu a mzindawo. Kenaka iwo adzamulola kulowa mu mzinda wawo ndi kumupatsa malo woti akhale nawo.
5 Pea kapau ʻoku tuli ia ʻe he totongi toto, ʻe ʻikai ai tenau tukuange ʻae fakapō ki hono nima; koeʻuhi naʻa ne tā lavenoaʻia hono kaungāʻapi, ka naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fehiʻa kiate ia.
Ngati munthu wolipsirayo amutsatira komweko atsogoleriwo asapereke munthu wakuphayo chifukwa anapha Mwisraeli mnzakeyo mosazindikira, osati mwachiwembu.
6 Pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he kolo ko ia, ke ʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ʻi he fakamaau, pea ke ʻoua ke pekia ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaia ʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea ʻe toki liu mai ʻae tāmate faainoa, ʻo haʻu ki heʻene kolo, pea haʻu ki hono fale, ki he kolo naʻe hola ia mei ai.”
Munthu wakuphayo adzakhalabe mu mzindawo mpaka atayimbidwa mlandu pamaso pa gulu lonse, ndiponso mpaka atamwalira mkulu wa ansembe amene akutumikira pa nthawiyo. Pamenepo munthuyo atha kubwereranso ku mudzi kwawo kumene anachoka mothawa kuja.”
7 Pea naʻa nau fili ʻa Ketesi ʻi Kaleli ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Nafitalai, mo Sikemi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo Kesa-ʻAlipa, ʻaia ko Hepeloni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Siuta.
Choncho iwo anapatula Kedesi mʼdera la Galileya ku mapiri a Nafutali, Sekemu ku mapiri a Efereimu, ndi Kiriati Ariba (ndiye Hebroni) ku mapiri a Yuda.
8 Pea ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ofi ki Seliko ʻi he potu hahake, naʻa nau fili ʻa Peseli ʻi he toafa ki he potu ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo Lemoti ʻi Kiliati mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo Kolani Pesani mei he faʻahinga ʻo Manase.
Kummawa kwa Yorodani, mʼmapiri a chipululu a kummawa kwa Yeriko, anapatula Bezeri pakati pa dera la fuko la Rubeni. Anapatulanso Ramoti ku Giliyadi mʼdera la fuko la Gadi, ndiponso Golani ku Basani mʼdera la fuko la Manase.
9 Ko eni ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe fili ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne tāmate lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha, ke hola ia ki ai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia ʻi he nima ʻoe totongi toto, kaeʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha.
Imeneyi ndiyo inali mizinda yopulumukiramo ya Aisraeli onse ngakhalenso mlendo wokhala pakati pawo. Munthu aliyense wopha mnzake mwangozi ankathawira ku mizinda imeneyi. Munthu wolipsira sankaloledwa kuti aphe munthu wothawayo ngati mlandu wake sunazengedwe pamaso pa gulu lonse.
