Igihe Yabini umwami wa Hazori yavyumva, yarungikira ubutumwa Yobabu umwami wa Madoni, n’umwami wa Shimuroni, n’umwami wa Akishafu, n’abami bo mu buraruko: bo mu gihugu c’imisozi, no mu Araba mu bumanuko bwa Kineroti, no mu kiyaya, no ku vyibare vya Dori mu buseruko bw’izuba; ku Banyakanani bo mu buseruko no mu burengero, n’Abamori, n’Abaheti, n’Abaperizi, n’Abayebusi bo mu gihugu c’imisozi, n’Abahivi bo munsi ya Herumoni mu gihugu ca Mizipa. Baragenda bafise ingabo zabo zose, ingabo nyinshi nk’umusenyi uri ku nkengera y’ikiyaga, n’amafarasi menshi cane n’amakariro. Abo bami bose barunga maze baza gukambika hamwe ku mazi ya Meromu kugira ngo barwanye Isiraheli.

Data wa twese abwira Yosuwa ati: “Ntubatinye, kuko ejo nk’iki gihe nzobashikiriza bose Isiraheli bapfuye. Uzocibagure amafarasi yabo maze uzoturire amakariro yabo.”

Yosuwa arabagirira nk’uko Data wa twese yamubwiye: aracibagura amafarasi yabo maze aratwika amakariro yabo n’umuriro. Ico gihe Yosuwa aragaruka, afata Hazori, maze akubita umwami wayo n’inkota, kuko Hazori kera yari umutwe w’ayo bwami yose. Bakubita umwe wese yari muri yo n’inkota, barabatikiza rwose; nta kigira umwuka casigaye, maze Yosuwa aturira Hazori ubwayo n’umuriro. Yosuwa afata ibisagara vyose vy’abo bami hamwe n’abami babo bose, arabakubita n’inkota, arabamaraho, nk’uko Musa umusavyi wa Data wa twese yari yategetse. Isiraheli ntiyaturiye n’ikimwe mu bisagara vyari vyubatse ku vyibare vyavyo, atari Hazori yonyene, iyo Yosuwa yaturiye. Isiraheli yaritwarira iminyago yose n’amatungo vy’ivyo bisagara, mugabo bakubita umuntu wese n’inkota gushika aho nta wasigara afise umwuka. Nk’uko Data wa twese yategetse umusavyi wiwe Musa, ni ko Musa nyene yategetse Yosuwa, maze Yosuwa aravyubahiriza, ata co yareka mu vyose Data wa twese yari yategetse Musa.

Kuva ku Musozi Halaki, uduga werekeza i Seyiri, gushika i Baali-gadi mu Mubande wa Lebanoni munsi y’Umusozi Herumoni, afata abami babo bose, arabakubita maze arabica. Yosuwa yararwanye n’abo bami bose igihe kirekire. Nta gisagara na kimwe cagiranye amahoro na Isiraheli atari Abahivi bo i Gibeyoni; Isiraheli yarabafashe bose mu ntambara. Kuko Data wa twese yakomeje imitima yabo ngo barwanye Isiraheli, kugira ngo bamarweho, ntibabagirire imbabazi, maze batikizwe, nk’uko Data wa twese yari yategetse Musa. Ico gihe Yosuwa aragenda, akuraho Abanaki mu gihugu c’imisozi, i Heburoni, i Debiri, i Anabu, no mu gihugu cose c’imisozi ca Yuda, no mu gihugu cose c’imisozi ca Isiraheli, abatikiza bo n’ibisagara vyabo. Nta Banaki basigaye mu gihugu c’Abisiraheli; i Gaza gusa, n’i Gati, n’i Ashidodi ni ho bamwe basigaye. Nuko Yosuwa afata igihugu cose, nk’uko koko Data wa twese yari yabwiye Musa, maze aragiha Isiraheli ngo kibe intoranwa yabo nk’uko imiryango yabo yari igabanije. Maze igihugu kiruhukira intambara.
