11 1Pamene Yabini mfumu ya Hazori anamva zimenezi, anatumiza uthenga kwa Yobabu mfumu ya Madoni, ndi kwa mfumu ya Simironi, ndi kwa mfumu ya Akisafu, 2ndi kwa mafumu a kumpoto: a ku dziko la mapiri, a ku Araba kum'mwera kwa Kinereti, a ku chigwa, ndi a ku zitunda za Dori cha kumadzulo; 3kwa Akanani a kummawa ndi a kumadzulo, kwa Aamori, Ahiti, Aperizi, ndi Ayebusi a ku dziko la mapiri, ndi kwa Ahivi a kumunsi kwa Herimoni m'dziko la Mizipa. 4Anatuluka ndi gulu lawo lonse lankhondo—gulu lochuluka ngati mchenga wa m'mbali mwa nyanja—ndi akavalo ndi magaleta ochuluka kwambiri. 5Mafumu onsewa anagwirizana, nabwera namanga misasa pamodzi pa madzi a Meromu kuti amenyane ndi Israeli.
6Atate wathu anati kwa Yoswa, “Usawaope, pakuti mawa nthawi ngati ino Ine ndidzawapereka onse kwa Israeli, atafa. Udule mitsempha ya akavalo awo, ndipo utenthe magaleta awo ndi moto.”
7Yoswa ndi gulu lake lankhondo anafika pa iwo mwadzidzidzi pa madzi a Meromu, nawathira nkhondo, 8ndipo Atate wathu anawapereka kwa Israeli, amene anawakantha nawathamangitsa mpaka ku Sidoni Wamkulu ndi ku Mizirefoti-maimu, ndi cha kummawa mpaka ku Chigwa cha Mizipe, osasiya wopulumuka ngakhale mmodzi. 9Yoswa anawachitira monga momwe Atate wathu anamuuzira: anadula mitsempha ya akavalo awo, nawotcha magaleta awo ndi moto. 10Pa nthawi imeneyo Yoswa anabwerera, nalanda Hazori, nakantha mfumu yake ndi lupanga, pakuti kale Hazori anali mutu wa maufumu onsewa. 11Anakantha aliyense wa m'menemo ndi lupanga, nawawononga kotheratu; panalibe chamoyo chimene chinatsala, ndipo Yoswa anatentha Hazori yemweyo ndi moto. 12Yoswa analanda mizinda yonse ya mafumuwa ndi mafumu awo onse, nawakantha ndi lupanga, nawawononga kotheratu, monga Mose mtumiki wa Atate wathu analamula. 13Israeli sanatenthe mizinda imene inakhala pa milu yake, koma Hazori yokha—iyi Yoswa anaitentha. 14Israeli anadzitengera zofunkha zonse ndi ziweto za mizindayi, koma anakantha munthu aliyense ndi lupanga kufikira panalibe wotsala ndi moyo. 15Monga Atate wathu analamula Mose mtumiki wake, momwemonso Mose analamula Yoswa, ndipo Yoswa anachita zimenezi, osasiya kalikonse kosachita pa zonse zimene Atate wathu analamula Mose.
16Yoswa anatenga dziko lonseli: dziko la mapiri, Negevi yonse, dziko lonse la Goseni, chigwa, Araba, ndi dziko la mapiri la Israeli pamodzi ndi chigwa chake. 17Kuchokera ku Phiri la Halaki, lokwera cha ku Seiri, mpaka ku Baala-gadi m'Chigwa cha Lebano kumunsi kwa Phiri la Herimoni, analanda mafumu awo onse, nawakantha, nawapha. 18Yoswa anachita nkhondo ndi mafumu onsewa kwa nthawi yaitali. 19Panalibe mzinda umene unachita mtendere ndi Israeli koma Ahivi a ku Gibeoni okha; Israeli anawatenga onse ku nkhondo. 20Pakuti Atate wathu anawumitsa mitima yawo kuti achite nkhondo ndi Israeli, kuti awonongedwe kotheratu, osawachitira chifundo, nawatheretu—monga Atate wathu analamula Mose. 21Pa nthawi imeneyo Yoswa anapita, nachotsa Aanaki ku dziko la mapiri—Hebroni, Debiri, Anabu—ndi ku dziko lonse la mapiri la Yuda ndi dziko lonse la mapiri la Israeli, nawawononga kotheratu iwo ndi mizinda yawo. 22Panalibe Aanaki amene anatsala m'dziko la Aisraeli; ku Gaza, ku Gati, ndi ku Asidodi kokha ndiko kunatsala ena. 23Choncho Yoswa anatenga dziko lonse, molondola monga Atate wathu anauza Mose, nalipereka kwa Israeli kukhala cholowa chawo monga magawo a mafuko awo. Ndipo dziko linapumula ku nkhondo.
