Yosuwa 6 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

6 ¹Yeriko yari ikinzwe cane kubera Abisirayeli; nta wasohoka kandi nta winjira.

²Maze Data wa twese abwira Yosuwa ati: “Raba, Yeriko n’umwami wayo n’intwari zayo z’inkomezi vyose nabishize mu minwe yawe.

³“Muzozengurutse igisagara, mwebwe basoda mwese, mukigenda rimwe. Muze mugire gutyo iminsi itandatu. ⁴Abaherezi indwi baze batware amahembe y’impfizi z’intama indwi imbere y’isandugu. Ku musi ugira indwi, muzozengurutse igisagara incuro indwi mu gihe abaherezi bavuza amahembe. ⁵Igihe ihembe ry’impfizi y’intama rizovuza urwamo rurerure, mukarwumva, muze mutume abantu bose basemerera cane. Uruzitiro rw’igisagara ruzosenyuka ruture hasi, maze umuntu wese arumuke adahengamye.”

⁶Yosuwa mwene Nuni ahamagara abaherezi ababwira ati: “Nyereza isandugu y’isezerano, kandi abaherezi indwi baze batware amahembe y’impfizi z’intama indwi imbere y’isandugu ya Data wa twese.”

⁷Abwira abantu ati: “Nimugende imbere! Muzengurutse igisagara, kandi abitwaje ibirwanisho baje imbere y’isandugu ya Data wa twese.”

⁸Yosuwa amaze kuvuga, abaherezi indwi batwaye amahembe y’impfizi z’intama indwi imbere ya Data wa twese baratambuka, bavuza amahembe, maze isandugu y’isezerano rya Data wa twese ibakurikira. ⁹Abitwaje ibirwanisho batambukira imbere y’abaherezi bavuza amahembe, nayo ingabo zisigara zikurikira isandugu, amahembe avuza atagushira.

¹⁰Ariko Yosuwa ategeka abantu ati: “Ntimusemerere canke ngo ijwi ryanyu ryumvikane; nta jambo na rimwe rizove mu kanwa kanyu, gushika aho nzovugira nti: ‘Nimusemerere!’ Ni ho muzosemerera.” ¹¹Nuko atuma isandugu ya Data wa twese izengurutse igisagara rimwe. Maze baza mu nkambi, barengana ijoro mu nkambi. ¹²Yosuwa avyuka mu gatondo ku musi ukurikira, maze abaherezi banyereza isandugu ya Data wa twese. ¹³Abaherezi indwi batwaye amahembe y’impfizi z’intama indwi imbere y’isandugu ya Data wa twese baratambuka, bayavuza badahengeshanya. Abitwaje ibirwanisho bari imbere; ingabo zisigara zikurikira isandugu ya Data wa twese mu gihe amahembe avuza. ¹⁴Nuko ku musi ugira kabiri bazengurutse igisagara rimwe maze basubira mu nkambi. Bagize gutyo iminsi itandatu.

¹⁵Ku musi ugira indwi bavyuka mu rukeruke bazengurutse igisagara nk’uko babigize, mugabo uwo musi incuro indwi. ¹⁶Incuro igira indwi bakizenguruka, mu gihe abaherezi bavuza amahembe, Yosuwa abwira abantu ati: “Nimusemerere! Kuko Data wa twese abahaye igisagara. ¹⁷Igisagara n’ivyo kirimwo vyose bitangwe kuri Data wa twese ngo birandurwe. Rahabu umumaraya gusa n’abari kumwe na we bose mu nzu yiwe ni bo bazokira, kuko yanyegeje intumwa twarungitse. ^a a v17 Gutangwa kuri Data wa twese ngo birandurwe bisobanura ko ikintu cose cahebewe Imana cokarwa, kiraruka—nta misahurano yari kwendwa ngo bayikoreshe ivyabo. ¹⁸Ariko mwikinge ku vyatangiwe kurandurwa, kugira ngo ntimwizanire iyangizwa mu kwenda ikintu na kimwe muri vyo, maze mukagira iyo nkambi yose ya Isirayeli iri mu kaga ko kurandurwa, mukayizanira amaganya. ¹⁹Ariko ifeza yose, inzahabu, n’ibikoresho vy’umuringa n’icuma ni vyera kuri Data wa twese; bitegerezwa kuja mu bubiko bwiwe.”

²⁰Nuko abantu baratakamba mu gihe abaherezi bavuza amahembe. Bumvise inzamba, baratakamba cane, maze uruzitiro ruture hasi. Abantu barurumuka binjira mu gisagara, umwese adahengamye, maze bagifata. ²¹Batanga ivyari mu gisagara vyose ngo birandurwe—abagabo n’abagore, abato n’abakuru, inka, intama, indogoba—ku bugi bw’inkota. ^b b v21 Gutangwa kwa Yeriko ngo kirandurwe ni rimwe mu makuru akomeye kuruta yose yo mu Vyanditswe: ni urubanza rwa Data wa twese yari yagumije igihe kirekire ku gisata c’abantu bari bihebeye ubwononyi no gutanga abana bakaba ibimazi. Mbere no ng’aho impuhwe ziwe zirakwira, akakiza Rahabu n’urugo rwiwe rwose—uwo w’ihanga rindi yamuhindukiriye mu kwizera. ²²Yosuwa abwira abagabo babiri bari baratase igihugu ati: “Nimuje mu nzu y’umumaraya, musohore uwo mugore n’abiwe bose, nk’uko mwamurahiriye.” ²³Nuko ya ntatsi zisore ziraja zisohora Rahabu, se, nyina, bene wabo, n’abiwe bose. Basohora umuryango wiwe wose maze babaha kuba hanze y’inkambi ya Isirayeli. ²⁴Baraturira igisagara n’ivyo kirimwo vyose, mugabo bashira ifeza, inzahabu, n’ibikoresho vy’umuringa n’icuma mu bubiko bw’inzu ya Data wa twese. ²⁵Yosuwa akiza Rahabu umumaraya, urugo rwa se, n’abiwe bose. Abaye muri Isirayeli gushika n’uyu musi, kuko yanyegeje intumwa Yosuwa yari yarungitse gutata Yeriko.

²⁶Maze Yosuwa abarahiza iri rahiro ati: “Avumwe imbere ya Data wa twese umuntu avyuka ngo asubire kwubaka iki gisagara, Yeriko. Azoshinga umushinge waco akataza imfura yiwe, ashinge amarembo yaco akataza umuhererezi wiwe.” ²⁷Nuko Data wa twese aba kumwe na Yosuwa, maze irengero rya Yosuwa rirakwira mu gihugu cose.
