12 ǝmdi Israilning ⱪǝbililiridin on ikki adǝmni tallanglar, ⱨǝrⱪaysi ⱪǝbilidin birdin bolsun;
Ngakho-ke, khethani amadoda alitshumi lambili esuka ezizwaneni zako-Israyeli, oyedwa esizwaneni esisodwa.

14 Əmdi xundaⱪ boldiki, hǝlⱪ qedirliridin qiⱪip Iordan dǝryasidin ɵtmǝkqi bolƣanda, ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini kɵtürgǝn kaⱨinlar hǝlⱪning aldida mangdi;
Ngakho kwathi abantu sebesuke ezihonqweni ukuze bayechapha uJodani, abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano bahamba phambili.

Abuthana aba yinqwaba ema khatshana laphaya, malungana ledolobho elithiwa yi-Adamu duzane leZarethani kukanti amanzi ayegelezela phansi ngekuyeni olwandle lwe-Arabha (okutsho uLwandle Lwetswayi) ahle ehlukaniswa ngokupheleleyo. Ngakho-ke abantu bachaphela ngaphetsheya malungana leJerikho.
17 Pütkül Israil ⱪuruⱪ yǝrni dǝssǝp, barliⱪ hǝlⱪ Iordan dǝryasidin pütünlǝy ɵtüp bolƣuqilik, Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini kɵtürgǝn kaⱨinlar Iordan dǝryasining otturisida ⱪuruⱪ yǝrdǝ mǝzmut turdi.
