9 ¹Pamene mafumu onse a tsidya la Yorodani anamva zimenezi—a kumapiri, a kuzigwa, ndi m'mphepete mwa Nyanja Yaikulu yonse kuloza ku Lebano—Ahiti, Aamori, Akanani, Aperizi, Ahivi, ndi Ayebusi, ²anasonkhana pamodzi mogwirizana ngati munthu mmodzi kuti amenyane ndi Yoswa ndi Aisraeli. ³Koma pamene anthu a ku Gibeoni anamva zimene Yoswa anachitira Yeriko ndi Ai, ⁴iwonso anachita mochenjera: ananyamuka monyengerera ngati amithenga, natenga matumba akale oguga ndi zikopa zakale za vinyo, zong'ambika ndi zosoka, za abulu awo, ⁵nkwapulo zakale zosoka kumapazi awo, zovala zong'ambika pa iwo; mkate wawo wonse unali wouma ndi wogumuka. ⁶Anapita kwa Yoswa ku msasa wa ku Giligala, nawuza iye ndi Aisraeli kuti, “Tachokera ku dziko lakutali; tsopano chitani pangano nafe.”

⁷Koma anthu a Israeli anati kwa Ahivi, “Mwina mukhala pakati pathu penipeni. Nanga tingachite bwanji pangano nanu?”

⁸Anawuza Yoswa kuti, “Ife ndife atumiki anu.” Yoswa anafunsa kuti, “Ndinu yani, ndipo mwachokera kuti?”

⁹Anamuwuza kuti, “Atumiki anu tachokera ku dziko lakutali kwambiri chifukwa cha dzina la Yehova Mulungu wanu, popeza tamva mbiri yake—zonse zimene anazichita ku Igupto, ¹⁰ndi zonse zimene anachitira mafumu awiri a Aamori a tsidya la Yorodani—Sihoni mfumu ya Hesiboni ndi Ogi mfumu ya Basani, amene analamulira ku Asitaroti. ¹¹Choncho akulu athu ndi anthu athu onse anati, ‘Tengani chakudya cha paulendo, pitani mukakumane nawo, ndipo muwawuze kuti, “Ife ndife atumiki anu; tsopano chitani pangano nafe.”’ ¹²Mkate wathu unali wofunda pamene tinawulongedza ku nyumba tsiku limene tinanyamuka kudza kwa inu; tsopano, taonani—wauma ndi wogumuka. ¹³Zikopa za vinyo izi zinali zatsopano pamene tinazidzaza—tsopano zang'ambuka. Ndipo zovala zathu ndi nkwapulo zathu zaguga chifukwa cha ulendo wautali kwambiri.”

¹⁴Choncho anthuwo analawa chakudya chawo, koma sanapemphe malangizo kwa Atate wathu. ¹⁵Ndipo Yoswa anachita mtendere nawo, nadula pangano loti akhale ndi moyo, ndipo atsogoleri a mpingo analumbira kwa iwo. ^a a v15 “Kudula pangano” ndi mawu akale: mapangano okhazikika ankatsimikizidwa mwa kupereka nsembe ndi kugawa nyama pakati pa magulu awiriwo. ¹⁶Patapita masiku atatu, atachita nawo pangano, anamva kuti anthuwa anali anansi okhala pakati pawo. ¹⁷Aisraeli ananyamuka, nafika ku mizinda yawo tsiku lachitatu. Mizinda yawo inali: Gibeoni, Kefira, Beeroti, ndi Kiriati-yearimu. ¹⁸Koma Israeli sanawathire nkhondo, chifukwa atsogoleri a msonkhano anali atalumbira kwa iwo mwa Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli. Ndipo msonkhano wonse unang'ung'udza pa atsogoleriwo. ¹⁹Koma atsogoleri onse anawuza mpingo wonse kuti, “Ife tinalumbira kwa iwo mwa Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, choncho tsopano sitingathe kuwakhudza. ²⁰Chimene tidzawachitira ndi ichi: tiwaleke akhale ndi moyo, kuti mkwiyo usatigwere chifukwa cha lumbiro limene tinalumbira kwa iwo.” ²¹Atsogoleri anati kwa iwo, “Aleke akhale ndi moyo.” Choncho anakhala odula nkhuni ndi otunga madzi a anthu onse, monga momwe atsogoleri analonjezera.

²²Ndipo Yoswa anawaitana, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani munatinyenga, kunena kuti, ‘Timakhala kutali kwambiri ndi inu,’ pamene mumakhala pakati pathu penipeni? ²³Choncho tsopano ndinu otembereredwa: nthawi zonse mudzakhala atumiki—odula nkhuni ndi otunga madzi a nyumba ya Atate wanga.”

²⁴Anayankha Yoswa kuti, “Atumiki anu anawuzidwa momveka bwino kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu analamula mtumiki wake Mose kuti akupatseni dziko lonse ndi kuwononga onse okhala m'menemo pamaso panu. Choncho, poopa kwambiri miyoyo yathu chifukwa cha inu, tinachita zimenezi. ²⁵Tsopano tili m'manja mwanu. Tichitireni chilichonse chimene chikuoneka chabwino ndi cholungama pamaso panu.”

²⁶Choncho anawachitira momwemo, nawapulumutsa m'manja mwa anthu a Israeli, ndipo sanawaphe. ²⁷Tsiku limenelo Yoswa anawasandutsa odula nkhuni ndi otunga madzi a mpingo ndi guwa lansembe la Atate wathu pa malo amene Iye adzasankha—ndipo zakhala momwemo mpaka lero.
