6 ¹Na tenepo Yeriko ikhadafungwa mwakukhwima thangwi ya ana a Izarayeli; nkhabe munthu akhabuluka, pontho nkhabe munthu akhapita.

²Penepo Baba wathu alonga kuna Djosuwe tenepa: “Ona, Ine ndakupasa Yeriko, mambo wace, na anyankhondo ace amphambvu m'manja mwako.

³“Zungulirani nzinda, imwe anyankhondo onsene, mbamuuzungulira kabodzi. Citani tenepa mu ntsiku zitanthatu. ⁴Anyantsembe anomwe asanyamule manyanga anomwe a mabira patsogolo pa bokosi. Pa ntsiku yacinomwe, zungulirani nzinda kanomwe, mu n'dzidzi unaliza anyantsembe manyanga. ⁵Nyanga ya bira ingabvuma mwakutalisa, imwe mungaibva, anthu onsene mbakhuwe mwakugaluza. Khoma ya nzinda inadzagwa pantsi, na munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi anadzalowa mwakulunjika.”

⁶Djosuwe mwana wa Nuni acemera anyantsembe mbaapanga: “Nyamulani bokosi ya cibverano, na anyantsembe anomwe mbanyamule manyanga anomwe a mabira patsogolo pa bokosi ya Baba wathu.”

⁷Iye apanga anthu: “Fambani! Zungulirani nzinda, na anyankhondo mbaende patsogolo pa bokosi ya Baba wathu.”

⁸Djosuwe pidamala iye kulonga, anyantsembe anomwe akhanyamula manyanga anomwe a mabira patsogolo pa Baba wathu aenda patsogolo, mbaliza manyanga, na bokosi ya cibverano ca Baba wathu yaatowera. ⁹Anyankhondo akhafamba patsogolo pa anyantsembe akhaliza manyanga, mbumba yakutsalira kunduli ikhatowera bokosi, manyanga mbakhabvuma n'dzidzi onsene.

¹⁰Mbwenye Djosuwe apanga anthu: “Lekani kukhuwa nee kubvekesa fala yanu; nkhabe fala m'bodzi mukamwa mwanu mpaka ndinalonga Ine, ‘Khuwani!’ Penepo mukhuwe.” ¹¹Na tenepo iye acitisa bokosi ya Baba wathu kuzungulira nzinda kabodzi. Penepo aenda ku nsasa mbagona kweneko. ¹²Mangwana mwace Djosuwe alamuka macibese, na anyantsembe anyamula bokosi ya Baba wathu. ¹³Anyantsembe anomwe akhanyamula manyanga anomwe a mabira patsogolo pa bokosi ya Baba wathu afamba, mbaliza manyanga mwakukhonda kuleka. Anyankhondo akhatsogolera; mbumba yakutsalira kunduli ikhatowera bokosi ya Baba wathu, mu n'dzidzi ukhabvuma manyanga. ¹⁴Na tenepo pa ntsiku yaciwiri azungulira nzinda kabodzi mbabwerera ku nsasa. Acita tenepa mu ntsiku zitanthatu.

¹⁵Pa ntsiku yacinomwe alamuka maulambo mbazungulira nzinda ninga mukhacitira iwo, mbwenye ntsiku ineyi kanomwe. ¹⁶Pa ulendo wacinomwe, mu n'dzidzi ukhaliza anyantsembe manyanga, Djosuwe apanga anthu: “Khuwani! Thangwi Baba wathu akupasani kale nzinda. ¹⁷Nzinda na pyonsene piri mwenemu ndi pyakuperekwa kuna Baba wathu toera kufudzwa. Basi ene Rahabi nyentswe, na onsene ali na iye n'nyumba mwace, anadzakhala maso, thangwi iye abisa amithenga adatuma ife. ^a a v17 Kuperekwa kuna Baba wathu toera kufudzwa kusabveka kuti pinthu pyonsene pikhaperekwa mwakukwana kuna Mulungu mukupifudza — nkhabe cuma cikhakwanisika kukwatwa toera kuphatisira ekhene. ¹⁸Mbwenye khalani kutali na pinthu pidaikhwa padhambo toera kufudzwa, toera lekani kubweresa cifudzo kwa imwe ene mukukwata cinthu cibodzi ca pyenepi, mbamuikha nsasa onsene wa Izarayeli pa ngozwi ya kufudzwa, mbamuubweresera nyatwa. ¹⁹Mbwenye parata yonsene, ouro, na pinthu pya nkuwa na pya utale ndi pyakucena kuna Baba wathu; pisafunika kupita mu mbuto yace yakukoyera cuma.”

²⁰Na tenepo anthu akhuwa mu n'dzidzi ukhaliza anyantsembe manyanga. Pidabva iwo nyanga, akhuwa mwakugaluza, na khoma yagwa pantsi. Anthu alowa mu nzinda, m'bodzi na m'bodzi mwakulunjika, mbaukunda. ²¹Aperekera pinthu pyonsene piri mu nzinda toera kufudzwa—amuna na akazi, aphale na akulu, ng'ombe, mabira, maburu—na ciso ca supada. ^b b v21 Kuperekwa kwa Yeriko toera kufudzwa ndi cibodzi ca pinthu pyakunentsa kakamwe m'Malemba: ciruzo ca Baba wathu cidadikhira n'dzidzi uzinji pa mbumba ikhacita pyaukali na kupereka ana ninga ntsembe. Ngakhala penepa ntsisi zace zisafika, mukupulumusa Rahabi na banja yace yonsene—mulendo ule adatembenukira kuna Iye mu cikhulupiro. ²²Djosuwe apanga amuna awiri ale akhadasaka dziko mwacibisobiso: “Ndokoni ku nyumba ya nyentswe mbamubulusa nkazi, na onsene ali a iye, ninga mudadumbirira imwe kuna iye.” ²³Na tenepo aphale akhadasaka dziko apita mbabulusa Rahabi, baba wace, mai wace, abale ace, na onsene akhali a iye. Abulusa banja yace yonsene mbaaikha kunja kwa nsasa wa Izarayeli. ²⁴Apisa nzinda na pyonsene pikhali mwenemu, mbwenye aikha parata, ouro, na pinthu pya nkuwa na pya utale mu mbuto yakukoyera cuma ya nyumba ya Baba wathu. ²⁵Djosuwe apulumusa Rahabi nyentswe, banja ya baba wace, na onsene akhali a iye. Iye akhala pakati pa Izarayeli mpaka lero, thangwi abisa amithenga adatumwa na Djosuwe toera kusaka Yeriko mwacibisobiso.

²⁶Penepo Djosuwe aacitisa kudumbira nthimo iyi: “Wakutembererwa patsogolo pa Baba wathu ndi mamuna ule anadzalamuka toera kumangabve nzinda uyu, Yeriko. Iye anadzamanga maziko ace mukufa kwa mwana wace wakutoma kubalwa, mbaimisa misuwo yace mukufa kwa mwana wace wang'ono.” ²⁷Na tenepo Baba wathu akhali na Djosuwe, na mbiri ya Djosuwe yamwazika mu dziko yonsene.
