2 ¹Nake Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni agĩtũma andũ eerĩ kuuma Shitimu na hitho, marĩ athigaani, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũthigaane bũrũri ũcio, na makĩria Jeriko.” Nao magĩthiĩ, magĩtoonya nyũmba ya mũmaraya wetagwo Rahabu, makĩraara ho.

²Nake mũthamaki wa Jeriko akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ ũyũ nĩ gũũkĩte andũ gũkũ moimĩte kũrĩ ciana cia Isiraeli, mathigaane bũrũri ũyũ.”

³Nake mũthamaki wa Jeriko agĩtũmana kũrĩ Rahabu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ruta andũ acio mookire kũrĩ we, o acio matoonyire nyũmba yaku, nĩgũkorwo mokĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũyũ wothe.”

⁴No mũtumia ũcio nĩoete andũ acio eerĩ akĩmahitha, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, andũ acio nĩmookire kũrĩ niĩ, no ndiamenyire kũrĩa moimĩte. ⁵Na rĩrĩa kwambĩrĩirie kũgĩa nduma, hĩndĩ ya kũhinga kĩhingo, andũ acio makiuma. Ndiũĩ kũrĩa andũ acio maathiire. Marũmĩrĩrei na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũrĩmakinyĩra.” ⁶No we nĩamambatĩtie nyũmba igũrũ, akĩmahitha thĩinĩ wa mahuti ma ũgũũ marĩa aarĩ aarĩte ho. ⁷Nao andũ acio makĩrũmĩrĩra athigaani njĩra-inĩ ya Jorodani, nginya mariũko-inĩ; na rĩrĩa arĩa maamarũmĩrĩire moimire, kĩhingo gĩgĩthingwo.

⁸Na athigaani acio matanakoma, Rahabu akĩambata kũrĩ o nyũmba igũrũ, ⁹akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũĩ atĩ MWATHANI nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ, na atĩ guoya wanyu nĩũtũgwĩrĩire, na andũ othe arĩa matũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ ũndũ wanyu. ¹⁰Nĩgũkorwo nĩtwaiguire ũrĩa MWATHANI aahũithirie maaĩ ma Iria Itune mbere yanyu rĩrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, na ũrĩa mwĩkire Sihoni na Ogu, athamaki acio eerĩ a Aamori arĩa maarĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Jorodani, arĩa mwaanangire biũ. ¹¹Twaigua ũguo, ngoro ciitũ ikĩaga hinya, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgĩa na ũmĩrĩru nĩ ũndũ wanyu, nĩgũkorwo MWATHANI Ngai wanyu nĩ we Ngai igũrũ kũu na thĩ gũkũ. ¹²Nake rĩu ndĩra, mwĩhĩte na MWATHANI atĩ, tondũ nĩndamwĩkĩra wega, o na inyuĩ nĩmũkeekĩra nyũmba ya baba wakwa wega. Heei kĩmenyithia kĩa ma, ¹³atĩ nĩmũrĩtigĩria baba, na maitũ, na ariũ a baba, na aarĩ a baba, na othe arĩa marĩ ao muoyo, na mũtũhonokie kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ.”

¹⁴Nao andũ acio makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Muoyo witũ ũgaakorwo handũ-inĩ ha wanyu! Ũngĩaga kuumbũra ũrĩa twĩkaga, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ithe witũ arĩtũhe bũrũri ũyũ, nĩtũgaakwĩkĩra wega na wĩhokeku.”

¹⁵Agĩcooka akĩmaharũrũkia na mũkwa ndirica-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo nyũmba yake yaarĩ rũthingo-inĩ rwa itũũra; aatũũraga rũthingo-inĩ. ¹⁶Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi irĩma-inĩ, nĩguo arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire matikamũtũnge. Mwĩhithei kũu matukũ matatũ, nginya macooke, mũcooke mũthiĩ njĩra yanyu.”

¹⁷Nao andũ acio makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ nĩtũkoima thĩinĩ wa mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ ũtũhĩtithĩtie, ¹⁸tiga, rĩrĩa tũgaatoonya bũrũri ũyũ, nĩũkoohe rũrigi rũrũ rwa gakarakũ ndirica-inĩ ĩrĩa ũtũharũrũkĩirie, na ũcookanĩrĩrie baba, na maitũ, na ariũ a baba, na nyũmba yothe ya baba, ũmarehe nyũmba thĩinĩ waku. ¹⁹Mũndũ o wothe ũkoima mĩrango-inĩ ya nyũmba yaku athiĩ njĩra-inĩ, thakame yake ĩgaakorwo mũtwe-inĩ wake mwene; ithuĩ tũtikagĩa na ihĩtia. No mũndũ o wothe ũrĩkorwo hamwe nawe thĩinĩ, guoko kũngĩmũhutia, thakame yake ĩgaakorwo mũtwe-inĩ witũ. ²⁰No ũngĩumbũra ũrĩa twĩkaga, ithuĩ nĩtũkoima thĩinĩ wa mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ ũtũhĩtithĩtie.”

²¹Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩgũtuĩke o ta ũguo muuga.” Agĩcooka akĩmoimagaria; nao magĩthiĩ, nake akĩoha rũrigi rũu rwa gakarakũ ndirica-inĩ.

²²Nao magĩthiĩ, magĩkinya irĩma-inĩ, magĩikara kũu matukũ matatũ, nginya arĩa maamarũmĩrĩire magĩcooka. Nao arĩa maamarũmĩrĩire magĩcaria njĩra yothe, no matiamoonire. ²³Nao andũ acio eerĩ magĩcooka, magĩikũrũka kuuma irĩma-inĩ, makĩringa rũũĩ, magĩkinya kũrĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, makĩmũhe ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe marĩa maamakorire. ²⁴Makĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ithe witũ nĩaneanĩte bũrũri ũyũ wothe moko-inĩ maitũ; o na andũ othe arĩa matũũraga kuo nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ guoya nĩ ũndũ witũ.”
