Abanyagibeyoni bariganya abantu b'Imana
Abanyagibeyoni baza bambaye inkweto zishaje bafite imigati yumye imanyagurika, bavuga ko bavuye urugendo rw'igihe kirekire. Isiraheli isuzuma impamba ariko ntibaze Data wa twese, maze bagirana isezerano banarahira. Nyuma y'iminsi itatu ikinyoma kiragaragara, ariko indahiro iracyahagaze, nuko baba abatashya inkwi.
9 1Abami bose bari hakurya ya Yorodani, mu misozi miremire no mu misozi migufi no ku nkombe zose z'Inyanja ya Mediterane berekeza i Libani, ari bo Abaheti, Abamori, Abanyakanāni, Abaperizi, Abahivi n'Abayebuzi, babyumvise, 2barakorana hamwe nk'umuntu umwe kugira ngo barwanye Yozuwe na Isiraheli. 3Ariko abaturage b'i Gibeyoni bumvise ibyo Yozuwe yakoreye Yeriko na Ayi, 4na bo bakoresha uburiganya: bagenda bagize nk'intumwa ziyoberanyije, bafata imifuka ishaje n'amahu y'inzoga ashaje, yasaduka yaradodewe, babishyira ku ndogobe zabo, 5inkweto zishaje zadodewe ku birenge, n'imyenda yashaje ku mibiri yabo; imigati yabo yose yari yumye kandi imanyagurika. 6Bagera kwa Yozuwe mu nkambi y'i Gilugali, bamubwira we n'Abisiraheli bati: “Twaturutse mu gihugu cya kure; none mugire isezerano natwe.”
7Ariko Abisiraheli babwira Abahivi bati: “Ahari mutuye hagati muri twe. None twabagiranaho isezerano dute?”
8Babwira Yozuwe bati: “Turi abagaragu bawe.” Yozuwe arababaza ati: “Muri bande, kandi muturutse he?”
9Baramubwira bati: “Abagaragu bawe baje baturutse mu gihugu cya kure cyane ku bwa izina ry'Uhoraho Imana yanyu, kuko twumvise ikirangirire cye, ibyo yakoze byose mu Misiri, 10kimwe n'ibyo yakoreye abami babiri b'Abamori bari batuye hakurya ya Yorodani: Sihoni wari umwami i Heshiboni, na Ogi wari umwami wa Bashani, wari utuye i Ashitaroti. 11Nuko abakuru bacu n'abaturage bacu bose baravuga bati: ‘Nimufate impamba z'urugendo, mujye kubasanganira, mubwire muti: “Turi abagaragu banyu; none mugire isezerano natwe.” ’ 12Imigati yacu yari ishyushye ubwo twayipakiraga iwacu umunsi twavuyeyo tugana iwanyu; none dore yumye iramanyagurika. 13Aya mahu y'inzoga yari mashya ubwo twayuzuzaga, none dore yarasaduka. N'imyenda yacu n'inkweto byashaje bitewe n'urugendo rurerure cyane.”
14Nuko abagabo basogongera ku mpamba zabo, ariko ntibabajije Data wa twese inama. 15Nuko Yozuwe agirana na bo amahoro, baca isezerano ryo kubareka ngo babeho, kandi abatware b'iteraniro barabarahira. a a v15 Kuvuga ‘kuca isezerano’ ni imvugo ya kera: amasezerano yemezwaga yitambirwaho inyamaswa zigabanyijwe hagati y'impande zombi. 16Hashize iminsi itatu bamaze kugirana na bo isezerano, bumva ko abo bantu ari abaturanyi batuye hagati muri bo. 17Abisiraheli baragenda bagera mu mijyi yabo ku munsi wa gatatu. Imijyi yabo yari iyi: Gibeyoni, Kefira, Bēroti na Kiriyati-Yeyarimu. 18Ariko Abisiraheli ntibabatera, kuko abatware b'iteraniro bari barabarahiye Data wa twese, Imana ya Isiraheli. Nuko iteraniro ryose ryitotombera abatware. 19Ariko abatware bose babwira iteraniro ryose bati: “Twarahiye Data wa twese, Imana ya Isiraheli, none ntidushobora kubakoraho. 20Iki ni cyo tuzabagenza: ni babeho, kugira ngo nta uburakari butugereho ku bw'indahiro twarahiye.” 21Abatware babwira iteraniro bati: “Nibabeho.” Nuko baba abatema inkwi n'abavoma amazi ku muryango wose, nk'uko abatware babasezeranyije.
22Nuko Yozuwe arabahamagara ati: “Kuki mwaturiganyije, mukavuga muti: ‘Dutuye kure cyane yanyu,’ nyamara mutuye hagati muri twe? 23None mwaravumwe: muzahora muri abagaragu, abatema inkwi n'abavoma amazi ku nzu ya Data.”
24Basubiza Yozuwe bati: “Abagaragu bawe babwiwe mu buryo busobanutse ko Uhoraho Imana yanyu yategetse umugaragu we Musa kubaha igihugu cyose, no kurimbura abagituye bose imbere yanyu. Nuko dutinyira cyane ubugingo bwacu bitewe namwe, ni cyo gituma twabigenje dutyo. 25None turi mu maboko yawe. Dukore ibyo ubona ko ari byiza kandi bikwiye mu maso yawe.”
26Nuko abagirira atyo, abakiza Abisiraheli, ntibabica. 27Uwo munsi Yozuwe abagira abatema inkwi n'abavoma amazi ku bw'iteraniro no ku bw'urutambiro rwa Data wa twese, ahantu yari kuzitoranyiriza; kandi ni ko bikimeze kugeza n'uyu munsi.
