Potero mudzadziwa njira yoti mudzere, popeza simunayendepo njira ino nʼkale lomwe. Koma musaliyandikire. Pakati pa inu ndi bokosilo pakhale mtunda pafupifupi kilomita imodzi.”
5 Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Monnwira mo ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkyena Awurade bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ mo mu.”
Yoswa anawuza anthu kuti, “Dzipatuleni tsono pakuti mawa Yehova adzachita zodabwitsa pakati panu.”

Mmawa mwake Yoswa ananena kwa ansembe kuti, “Nyamulani Bokosi la Chipangano muwoloke ndipo mukhale patsogolo pa anthu.” Motero iwo analinyamula ndi kupita patsogolo pawo.
7 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, mɛhyɛ aseɛ ayɛ wo kɛseɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa ani so. Na ɛbɛma wɔahunu sɛ, meka wo ho sɛdeɛ na meka Mose ho no.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Lero Ine ndidzayamba kukukweza pamaso pa Aisraeli onse kuti adziwe kuti ndili nawe monga ndinalili ndi Mose.

Ansembe amene akunyamula Bokosi la Chipangano uwalamule kuti, ‘Mukafika ku mtsinje wa Yorodani mulowe mu mtsinjemo ndi kuyima mʼmphepete.’”
9 Na Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Mommra mmɛtie asɛm a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn aka.
Yoswa anati kwa Aisraeli, “Bwerani pano mudzamve mawu a Yehova Mulungu wanu.
10 Ɛnnɛ mobɛhunu sɛ Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no ka mo ho. Ampa ara ɔbɛpam Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Hewifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Girgasifoɔ, Amorifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.

11 Monnwene ho! Apam Adaka a ɛyɛ Awurade a asase nyinaa yɛ ne dea no bɛdi mo anim de mo atware Asubɔnten Yordan.
Pamenepo, Bokosi la Chipangano la Mbuye wa dziko lonse lapansi lidzawoloka mu Yorodani patsogolo panu.
12 Afei, monyiyi nnipa dumienu a ɔbaako biara firi mmusuakuo dumienu no mu.
Musankhe amuna khumi ndi awiri kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Israeli.

Mapazi a ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Yehova, Mbuye wa dziko lapansi, akadzangoponda mu Yorodani, madzi ake onse ochokera ku mtunda adzaleka kuyenda ndipo adzayima ngati chipupa.”
14 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no sɔree sɛ wɔrekɔtwa Yordan no, asɔfoɔ a na wɔso Apam Adaka no dii wɔn anim.
Tsono Aisraeli anachoka ku misasa yawo kukawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani. Ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Chipangano ndiwo anatsogolera anthuwo.
15 Na ɛyɛ otwaberɛ mu enti na Yordan no ayiri aba nsunoa. Nanso, asɔfoɔ a wɔso Adaka no nan sii asuo no ano pɛ,
Nyengo imeneyi inali yokolola ndipo mtsinje wa Yorodani umakhala wodzaza. Komabe, ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Chipangano anafika ku Yorodani, ndipo atangoponda mʼmadzimo,

Madzi othamangira ku nyanja ya Araba, ngakhalenso amene amachokera kuti Nyanja ya Mchere amathera pamenepo. Choncho anthu anawoloka tsidya lina moyangʼanana ndi Yeriko.
17 Saa ɛberɛ no mu, asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no gyinaa asase kesee so wɔ subɔnhwa no mfimfini ma nnipa no nyinaa twaa mu. Wɔtwɛnee wɔ hɔ kɔsii sɛ obiara faa asase kesee so twaa Yordan.
