Anamanga misasa kulimbana ndi Gibiyoni, nauthira nkhondo. ⁶Amuna a Gibiyoni anatumiza uthenga uwu kwa Yoswa ku msasa wa Giligala, nati: “Musasiye antchito anu! Bwerani msanga mudzatipulumutse—tithandizeni! Mafumu onse a Aamori a m'dziko la mapiri agwirizana kulimbana nafe.”

⁷Ndipo Yoswa anachoka ku Giligala ndi anthu ake onse ankhondo—ankhondo ake amphamvu.

⁸Ndipo Atate wathu anati kwa Yoswa, “Usawaope—ndawapereka m'manja mwako. Palibe ngakhale mmodzi amene adzaima pamaso pako.”

⁹Ndipo Yoswa anawafikira mwadzidzidzi, atayenda usiku wonse kuchokera ku Giligala. ¹⁰Ndipo Atate wathu anawasokoneza pamaso pa Israeli, nawakantha koopsa ku Gibiyoni, nawathamangitsa m'njira yokwerera ku Beti-horoni, nawapha mpaka ku Azeka ndi Makeda. ¹¹Pamene ankathawa pamaso pa Israeli potsetsereka ku Beti-horoni, Atate wathu anawaponyera miyala ikuluikulu kuchokera kumwamba, mpaka ku Azeka, ndipo anafa. Ambiri a iwo anafa ndi miyala ya matalala kuposa amene anthu a Israeli anawapha ndi lupanga.

¹²Ndipo Yoswa anayankhula ndi Atate wathu pa tsiku limene Atate wathu anapereka Aamori m'manja mwa anthu a Israeli, ndipo pamaso pa Israeli yense anati: “Dzuwa, imirira pamwamba pa Gibiyoni, ndipo mwezi, pamwamba pa Chigwa cha Aiyaloni.” ¹³Ndipo dzuwa linaimirira, ndipo mwezi unaima, mpaka mtundu wa anthu utabwezera adani ake. Kodi izi sizinalembedwe m'buku la Yasari? Dzuwa linaima pakati pa thambo ndipo silinafulumira kulowa pafupifupi tsiku lathunthu. ^a a v13 Buku la Yasari linali lundu lakale la Chihebri la ndakatulo ndi nyimbo, limene tsopano linatayika. ¹⁴Panalibe tsiku ngati limeneli, kale kapena pambuyo pake, pamene Atate wathu anamvera mau a munthu—pakuti Atate wathu anamenyera Israeli nkhondo.

¹⁵Ndipo Yoswa pamodzi ndi Israeli yense anabwerera ku msasa wa Giligala.

Mafumu Asanu Agonjetsedwa

¹⁶Koma mafumu asanu amenewa anathawa, nabisala m'phanga ku Makeda. ¹⁷Ndipo Yoswa anauzidwa kuti, “Mafumu asanu apezeka, atabisala m'phanga ku Makeda.”

¹⁸Ndipo Yoswa anati, “Gubuduzirani miyala ikuluikulu pakamwa pa phanga, ndipo ikani amuna m'mbali mwake kuti awalondere. ¹⁹Koma inu musakhale pamenepo. Thamangitsani adani anu, muwakanthe kumbuyo. Musawalole kufika ku mizinda yawo, pakuti Atate wanu wawapereka m'manja mwanu.”

²⁰Ndipo Yoswa ndi anthu a Israeli atawakantha ndi nkhondo yoopsa, nawafafaniza—ngakhale ochepa amene anatsala anathawira m'mizinda yotetezedwa. ²¹Ndipo anthu onse anabwerera mwamtendere kwa Yoswa ku msasa wa Makeda, ndipo panalibe amene analimba mtima kuyankhula motsutsa Mwisraeli aliyense. ²²Ndipo Yoswa anati, “Tsekulani pakamwa pa phanga, mundibweretsere mafumu asanu aja.” ²³Ndipo anatulutsa mafumu asanu m'phanga, nabwera nao kwa iye: mafumu a Yerusalemu, Heburoni, Yarimuti, Lakisi, ndi Egiloni. ²⁴Atatulutsa mafumu awa nabwera nao kwa Yoswa, iye anaitana amuna onse a Israeli, nati kwa atsogoleri a nkhondo amene anapita naye, “Sonderani, ikani mapazi anu pa makosi a mafumu awa.” Ndipo anasondera, naika mapazi awo pa makosi awo.

²⁵Yoswa anati kwa iwo, “Musaope kapena kuchita mantha. Limbani mtima, ndipo khalani olimba mtima—umu ndi mmene Atate wathu adzachitira adani onse amene mukumenyana nao.”

²⁶Zitatha izi, Yoswa anakantha mafumuwo, nawapha, nawapachika pa mitengo isanu, ndipo anakhalapo mpaka madzulo. ²⁷Pakulowa kwa dzuwa Yoswa analamula kuti mitembo itsitsidwe pa mitengo, nayiponya m'phanga mmene mafumu anabisala. Anaika miyala ikuluikulu pakamwa pa phanga, imene ilipobe mpaka lero.

²⁸Tsiku limenelo Yoswa anatenga Makeda, nawukantha ndi mfumu yake ndi lupanga, nawononga aliyense anali momwemo—panalibe wotsala. Anachitira mfumu ya Makeda monga anachitira mfumu ya Yeriko.
