Yozuwe 6 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

6 ¹Yeriko yari ikinze iteye utwatsi kubera Abisiraheli; nta muntu wasohokaga, nta n'uwinjira.

²Nuko Data wa twese abwira Yozuwe ati: “Dore nguhaye Yeriko, umwami wayo, n'intwari zayo z'abagabo.

³“Muzenguruke uwo mujyi, mwese abagabo barwana, incuro imwe. Muzabigenze mutyo iminsi itandatu. ⁴Abatambyi barindwi bazajye bitwaje amahembe arindwi y'amapfizi y'intama imbere y'isanduku. Ku munsi wa karindwi, muzenguruke uwo mujyi incuro ndwi mu gihe abatambyi bavuza amahembe. ⁵Ihembe ry'ipfizi ry'intama nirivuza riranguye mukaryumva, abantu bose muzasakuze cyane. Urukuta rw'umujyi ruzasenyuka rwose, maze buri muntu asatire imbere.”

⁶Yozuwe mwene Nuni ahamagara abatambyi arababwira ati: “Mufate isanduku y'Isezerano, maze abatambyi barindwi bariheke amahembe arindwi y'amapfizi y'intama imbere y'isanduku ya Data wa twese.”

⁷Abwira abantu ati: “Nimusatire! Muzenguruke uwo mujyi, maze abagabo bitwaje intwaro barangaze imbere y'isanduku ya Data wa twese.”

⁸Yozuwe amaze kuvuga, abatambyi barindwi bitwaje amahembe arindwi y'amapfizi y'intama imbere ya Data wa twese batangira bagenda, bavuza amahembe, maze isanduku y'Isezerano rya Data wa twese ibakurikira. ⁹Abagabo bitwaje intwaro barangaza imbere y'abatambyi bavuza amahembe, naho abarinda inyuma bakurikira isanduku, amahembe avuga ubudahwema.

¹⁰Ariko Yozuwe ategeka abantu ati: “Ntimukasakuze cyangwa ngo ijwi ryanyu ryumvikane; nta jambo na rimwe rizave mu kanwa kanyu kugeza igihe nzavugira nti: 'Nimusakuze!' Ni bwo muzasakuza.” ¹¹Nuko atuma isanduku ya Data wa twese izenguruka uwo mujyi rimwe. Hanyuma baza mu nkambi, barara mu nkambi. ¹²Yozuwe azinduka kare bukeye, maze abatambyi bafata isanduku ya Data wa twese. ¹³Abatambyi barindwi bitwaje amahembe arindwi y'amapfizi y'intama imbere y'isanduku ya Data wa twese batangira bagenda, bayavuza badahwema. Abagabo bitwaje intwaro barangaza imbere; naho abarinda inyuma bakurikira isanduku ya Data wa twese mu gihe amahembe avuga. ¹⁴Nuko ku munsi wa kabiri bazenguruka uwo mujyi rimwe, basubira mu nkambi. Babigenje batyo iminsi itandatu.

¹⁵Ku munsi wa karindwi bazinduka mu museke, bazenguruka uwo mujyi nk'uko babigenzaga, ariko uwo munsi incuro ndwi. ¹⁶Ku ncuro ya karindwi, mu gihe abatambyi bavuzaga amahembe, Yozuwe abwira abantu ati: “Nimusakuze! Kuko Data wa twese abahaye uwo mujyi. ¹⁷Uwo mujyi n'ibiwurimo byose byeguriwe Data wa twese ngo birimburwe. Rahabu w'indaya wenyine n'abo bari kumwe mu nzu ye ni bo bazakira, kuko yahishe intumwa twohereje. ^a a v17 Kweguriwe Data wa twese ngo birimburwe bisobanura ko byose byatanzwe burundu kwa Data binyuze mu kurimburwa — nta munyago washoboraga gufatirwa inyungu bwite. ¹⁸Ariko mwirinde ibyeguriwe irimbuka, kugira ngo mutazirimbura ubwanyu mufate kimwe muri byo, mukazanira inkambi yose ya Isiraheli akaga ko kurimbuka no kuzanira ibyago. ¹⁹Ariko ifeza yose n'izahabu n'ibikoresho byose by'umuringa n'iby'icyuma ni byera kuri Data wa twese; bigomba kujya mu bubiko bwe.”

²⁰Nuko abantu baranguruye mu gihe abatambyi bavuzaga amahembe. Bumvise impanda, baranguruye cyane, maze urukuta rurasenyuka rwose. Abantu basatira mu mujyi, buri wese ahanganye imbere ye, maze bawigarurira. ²¹Begurira irimbuka ibyari mu mujyi byose—abagabo n'abagore, abato n'abakuru, inka, intama, indogobe—babicisha inkota. ^b b v21 Kwegurira irimbuka Yeriko ni kimwe mu bintu bikomeye cyane bivugwa mu Byanditswe: urubanza rwa Data wa twese yari yararindiriye igihe kinini ku muryango w'abantu witangiye ubugome no gutamba abana. No muri ibi, impuhwe ze zirakira, zikiza Rahabu n'urugo rwe rwose—umunyamahanga wamuhindukiriye amwizera. ²²Yozuwe abwira abagabo bombi bari baratashye igihugu ati: “Nimujye mu nzu y'indaya, muzane uwo mugore n'abo ari babo bose, nk'uko mwamurahiye.” ²³Nuko bariya basore b'abatasi barinjira, basohora Rahabu, se, na nyina, n'abavandimwe be, n'abo ari babo bose. Basohora umuryango we wose, babashyira hanze y'inkambi ya Isiraheli. ²⁴Batwika uwo mujyi n'ibiwurimo byose, ariko ifeza n'izahabu n'ibikoresho by'umuringa n'iby'icyuma babishyira mu bubiko bw'inzu ya Data wa twese. ²⁵Yozuwe akiza Rahabu w'indaya, n'urugo rwa se, n'abo ari babo bose. Yabaye mu Bisiraheli kugeza n'ubu, kuko yahishe intumwa Yozuwe yari yohereje gutata Yeriko.

²⁶Nuko Yozuwe abarahiza indahiro iti: “Havumwe imbere ya Data wa twese umuntu uzahaguruka ngo yubaka uyu mujyi, ari wo Yeriko. Azawushingira urufatiro apfusha impfura ye, kandi azashinga amarembo yawo apfusha umuhererezi we.” ²⁷Nuko Data wa twese aba kumwe na Yozuwe, maze inkuru ya Yozuwe yamamara mu gihugu cyose.
