6 ¹Zvino Jeriko rakanga rakapfigwa kwazvo nokuda kwavaIsraeri; hakuna aibuda uye hakuna aipinda.

²Ipapo Baba vedu vakati kuna Joshua, “Tarira, ndakaisa Jeriko, mambo waro, nemhare dzaro mumaoko ako.

³“Komberedzai guta, imi varwi mose, muchirizunguruka kamwe chete. Itai izvi kwamazuva matanhatu. ⁴Vaprista vanomwe ngavatakure hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondohwe pamberi peareka. Pazuva rechinomwe, komberedzai guta kanomwe nguva, vaprista vachiridza hwamanda. ⁵Kana hwamanda yenyanga yegondohwe ikarira kwenguva refu mukazvinzwa, vanhu vose ngavape mhere huru. Rusvingo rweguta ruchawira pasi, mumwe nomumwe achimhanya akananga mberi.”

⁶Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akadana vaprista akati kwavari, “Takurai areka yesungano, uye vaprista vanomwe ngavatakure hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondohwe pamberi peareka yaBaba vedu.”

⁷Akati kuvanhu, “Pfuurai mberi! Komberedzai guta, uye varume vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa ngavatungamire pamberi peareka yaBaba vedu.”

⁸Joshua paakapedza kutaura, vaprista vanomwe vaitakura hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondohwe pamberi paBaba vedu vakapfuurira mberi, vachiridza hwamanda, uye areka yesungano yaBaba vedu yakavatevera. ⁹Varume vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vakafamba pamberi pavaprista vairidza hwamanda, varindi vokumashure vari shure kweareka, hwamanda dzichingoramba dzichirira.

¹⁰Asi Joshua akarayira vanhu, “Musadanidzira kana kuita kuti inzwi renyu rinzwike; pashaye shoko rimwe chete rinobuda mumuromo menyu kusvikira ndati, ‘Danidzirai!’ Ipapo mochidanidzira.” ¹¹Saka akaita kuti areka yaBaba vedu ikomberedze guta kamwe chete. Ipapo vakasvika kumusasa vakavata usiku mumusasa. ¹²Joshua akamuka mangwanani-ngwanani zuva raitevera, uye vaprista vakatakura areka yaBaba vedu. ¹³Vaprista vanomwe vaitakura hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondohwe pamberi peareka yaBaba vedu vakaramba vachifamba, vachidziridza nguva dzose. Varume vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vakatungamira; varindi vokumashure vakatevera areka yaBaba vedu hwamanda dzichirira. ¹⁴Saka pazuva rechipiri vakakomberedza guta kamwe chete vakadzokera kumusasa. Vakaita izvi kwamazuva matanhatu.

¹⁵Pazuva rechinomwe vakamuka mambakwedza vakakomberedza guta sapakutanga, asi pazuva iri kanomwe nguva. ¹⁶Pavakakomberedza kechinomwe, vaprista vachiridza hwamanda, Joshua akati kuvanhu, “Danidzirai! Nokuti Baba vedu vakupai guta. ¹⁷Guta nezvose zviri mariri zvakatsaurirwa kuparadzwa kuna Baba vedu. Rahabhi chete pfambi iyi navose vanaye mumba make vachararama, nokuti akavanza nhume dzatakatuma. ^a a v17 Kutsaurirwa kuparadzwa kuna Baba vedu zvinoreva kuti zvinhu zvose zvakapiwa zvachose kuna Mwari nokuparadzwa — pakanga pasina zvakapambwa zvaigona kutorwa kuti zvishandiswe nomunhu oga. ¹⁸Asi garai kure nezvinhu zvakatsaurirwa kuparadzwa, kuti murege kuzviunzira kuparadzwa nokutora chimwe chazvo, muchiisa musasa wose waIsraeri mungozi yokuparadzwa muchiuunzira dambudziko. ¹⁹Asi sirivha yose, goridhe, nenhumbi dzendarira nedzesimbi zvitsvene kuna Baba vedu; zvinofanira kupinda mudura repfuma ravo.”

²⁰Saka vanhu vakadanidzira vaprista vachiridza hwamanda. Pavakanzwa hwamanda, vakadanidzira nenzwi guru, rusvingo rukawira pasi. Vanhu vakapinda muguta vachimhanya, mumwe nomumwe akananga mberi, vakarikunda. ²¹Vakaparadza chose zvose zvaiva muguta—varume navakadzi, vaduku navakuru, nzombe, makwai, nembongoro—nomuromo womunondo. ^b b v21 Kutsaurirwa kweJeriko kuti riparadzwe ndechimwe chezvinhu zvakaoma kwazvo zviri muMagwaro: kutonga kwaBaba vedu kwavakanga vanonotsa kwenguva refu pamusoro pomunharaunda wakazvipira kuutsinye nokubayira vana. Kunyange pano tsitsi dzavo dzinosvika, dzichinunura Rahabhi nemhuri yake yose—mutorwa akatendeukira kwavari nokutenda. ²²Joshua akati kuvarume vaviri vakanga vasora nyika, “Endai kumba kwepfambi mubudise mukadzi navose vake, sezvamakapika kwaari.” ²³Saka vasori vaduku vakapinda vakabudisa Rahabhi, baba vake, mai vake, hama dzake, navose vake. Vakabudisa mhuri yake yose vakavagarisa kunze kwomusasa waIsraeri. ²⁴Vakapisa guta nezvose zvaiva mariri, asi vakaisa sirivha, goridhe, nenhumbi dzendarira nedzesimbi mudura reimba yaBaba vedu. ²⁵Joshua akararamisa Rahabhi pfambi, imba yababa vake, navose vake. Agara pakati pavaIsraeri kusvikira nhasi, nokuti akavanza nhume dzakatumwa naJoshua kundosora Jeriko.

²⁶Ipapo Joshua akavapikisa mhiko iyi, achiti: “Ngaatukwe pamberi paBaba vedu munhu anosimuka kuzovakazve guta iri, Jeriko. Achateya nheyo dzaro nokufirwa nedangwe rake uye achamisa masuo aro nokufirwa nomwana wake gotwe.” ²⁷Saka Baba vedu vaiva naJoshua, uye mukurumbira waJoshua wakapararira munyika yose.
