4 1Pidamala mbumba yonsene kuwambuka Djordani, Baba wathu alonga kuna Djoswa:
2“Kwata amuna khumi na awiri pakati pa mbumba, mamuna m'bodzi mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi. 3Apange iwo kuti: ‘Kwatani miyala khumi na miwiri pano, pakati pa Djordani, pa mbuto idalimira myendo ya anyantsembe mwakuwanga; mbwambukani nayo, mbwaiikhani pa ntsasa munagona imwe masiku ano.’”
4Na tenepo Djoswa acemera amuna khumi na awiri adasankhulwa pakati pa ana a Izarayeli, m'bodzi mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi. 5Iye aapanga: “Wambukani patsogolo pa bhokosi ya Baba wanu, mbamuenda pakati pa Djordani, m'bodzi na m'bodzi wa imwe akwate mwala, mbaunyamula paphewa pace—ubodzi mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi ya ana a Izarayeli, 6toera pyenepi pikhale cizindikiro pakati panu: ana anu angabvundza nkutsogolo, ‘Kodi miyala iyi isabvekanji kuna imwe?’ 7Apangeni kuti: madzi a Djordani agwanditswa patsogolo pa bhokosi ya cibverano ca Baba wathu. Pidawambuka iyo Djordani, madzi a Djordani agwanditswa. Miyala iyi inakhala cikumbuso kuna mbumba ya Izarayeli kwenda na kwenda.”
8Aizarayeli acita ninga mudaapangira Djoswa: akwata miyala khumi na miwiri pakati pa Djordani, ubodzi mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi ya Izarayeli, ninga mudapangira Baba wathu Djoswa, mbaenda nayo ku ntsasa wawo, mbaiikha penepo. 9Djoswa aikhambo miyala khumi na miwiri pakati pa Djordani, pa mbuto idalimira myendo ya anyantsembe akhanyamula bhokosi ya cibverano; iyo iciripo penepo mpaka lero. 10Anyantsembe akhanyamula bhokosi alimira pakati pa Djordani mpaka pidamala pyonsene pidapanga Baba wathu Djoswa toera kupanga mbumba—ninga mudapangira Mose Djoswa. Mbumba yawambuka mwakucimbiza. 11Pidamala mbumba yonsene kuwambuka, bhokosi ya Baba wathu na anyantsembe awambuka patsogolo pa mbumba. 12Ana a Rubeni, ana a Gadhi, na hafu ya dzindza ya Manase awambuka akuphata pifuwo pya nkhondo patsogolo pa ana a Izarayeli, ninga mudaapangira Mose. 13Pafupi na amuna 40.000 akuphata pifuwo pya nkhondo awambuka patsogolo pa Baba wathu, kuenda ku nkhondo ku mathando a Djeriko. 14Ntsiku ineyi Baba wathu akuza Djoswa pamaso pa Izarayeli onsene; iwo angopa iye ninga mudagopa iwo Mose, masiku onsene a umaso wace.
15Penepo Baba wathu alonga kuna Djoswa:
16“Apange anyantsembe akunyamula bhokosi ya umboni toera abuluke mu Djordani.”
17Na tenepo Djoswa apanga anyantsembe: “Bulukani mu Djordani.” 18Pidabuluka anyantsembe akhanyamula bhokosi ya cibverano ca Baba wathu pakati pa Djordani, myendo yawo mbikhuya pantsi pakuuma, madzi a Djordani abwerera pa mbuto yawo, mbasesa pa makhundu onsene a nkulo ninga kale.
19Mbumba yabuluka mu Djordani ntsiku yakhumi ya nthanda yakutoma, mbimanga ntsasa ku Giligali, kunkhundu wa kumabulukiro a dzuwa kwa Djeriko. 20Djoswa aikha miyala ineyi khumi na miwiri ku Giligali—miyala idakwata iwo mu Djordani. 21Iye apanga Aizarayeli: “Mu ntsiku zinafuna kudza, ana anu angabvundza ababa awo, ‘Kodi miyala iyi isabvekanji?’ 22apangeni ana anu: ‘Izarayeli awambuka Djordani iyi pa pantsi pakuuma.’ 23Thangwi Baba wanu aumisa madzi a Djordani patsogolo panu mpaka pidawambuka imwe, ninga mudaumisa Baba wanu Bara Yakufuira patsogolo pathu mpaka pidawambuka ife, 24toera mbumba zonsene za pa dziko zidziwe kuti djanja ya Baba wathu ndi yamphambvu, na toera imwe mugope Baba wanu ntsiku zonsene.”
