1 ¹Shure kwokufa kwaJoshua, vaIsraeri vakabvunza Baba vedu, vachiti, “Ndiani pakati pedu achatanga kukwira kundorwa navaKenani?”

²Baba vedu vakati, “Judha achakwira. Ndakaisa nyika mumaoko ake.”

³Judha akati kuhama yake Simeoni, “Kwira neni tiende munyika yandakagoverwa, tindorwa navaKenani; neniwo ndichaenda newe munyika yako.” Saka Simeoni akaenda naye. ⁴Saka Judha akakwira, uye Baba vedu vakaisa vaKenani navaPerizi mumaoko avo, vakauraya varume zviuru gumi paBhezeki. ⁵PaBhezeki vakawana Adhoni-bhezeki, vakarwa naye, vakauraya vaKenani navaPerizi. ⁶Adhoni-bhezeki akatiza, asi vakamutevera, vakamubata, vakamugura zvigunwe zvikuru zvamaoko ake nezvetsoka. ⁷Adhoni-bhezeki akati, “Madzimambo makumi manomwe akagurwa zvigunwe zvikuru zvamaoko nezvetsoka aisinhanʼira zvimedu zvokudya pasi petafura yangu. Sezvandakaita, saizvozvo Mwari andiripira.” Vakaenda naye kuJerusarema, uko kwaakafira.

⁸Varume vaJudha vakarwisa Jerusarema, vakarikunda, vakaribaya nomunondo, vakapisa guta. ⁹Shure kwaizvozvo Judha akaburuka kundorwa navaKenani vaigara munyika yezvikomo, neNegevhi, nomujinga mezvikomo kumavirira. ¹⁰Judha akaenda kundorwa navaKenani vaiva muHebhuroni (yaimbonzi Kiriati-abha) akauraya Sheshai, Ahimani, naTarimai.

¹¹Vachibva ipapo vakaenda kundorwa navagari vomuDhebhiri (zita reDhebhiri raimbonzi Kiriati-sefa). ¹²Karebhu akati, “Ani naani anorwisa achikunda Kiriati-sefa, ndichamupa mwanasikana wangu Akisa kuti ave mukadzi wake.” ¹³Otinieri mwanakomana waKenazi, mununʼuna waKarebhu, akarikunda, saka Karebhu akamupa mwanasikana wake Akisa kuti amuroore.

¹⁴Paakasvika kuna Otinieri, akamukurudzira kuti akumbire munda kuna baba vake. Paakaburuka pambongoro yake, Karebhu akamubvunza akati, “Chii chaunoda?”

¹⁵Akati kwaari, “Ndikomborerei. Sezvo makandipa nyika yeNegevhi, ndipeiwo zvitubu zvemvura.” Saka Karebhu akamupa zvitubu zvokumusoro nezvokuzasi. ¹⁶Vana vomuKeni, veimba yatezvara vaMozisi, vakakwira pamwe chete navanhu vaJudha vachibva kuguta remichindwe vakaenda kurenje reJudha riri muNegevhi pedyo neAradhi, vakagara pakati pavanhu. ^a a v16 Guta remichindwe ndiJeriko, riri mumupata weJoridhani. ¹⁷Judha akaenda nehama yake Simeoni; vakauraya vaKenani vaigara muZefati vakariparadza zvachose, saka guta rakatumidzwa kuti Horima. ^b b v17 Horima zvinoreva kuti “kuparadzwa” — zita idzva rinonyora kuti guta rakanga rakatsaurirwa zvachose kuti riparadzwe. ¹⁸Judha akakundawo Gaza nenharaunda yayo, neAshikeroni nenharaunda yayo, neEkironi nenharaunda yayo. ¹⁹Baba vedu vakanga vaina Judha, akatora nyika yezvikomo asi akatadza kudzinga vanhu vomumupata, nokuti vakanga vane ngoro dzesimbi. ²⁰Vakapa Hebhuroni kuna Karebhu, sezvakanga vavimbisa Mozisi, akadzinga vanakomana vatatu vaAnaki ipapo. ²¹Asi vaBhenjamini havana kudzinga vaJebhusi vaiva muJerusarema; saka vaJebhusi vagere navaBhenjamini muJerusarema kusvikira nhasi.

²²Imba yaJosefa yakakwirawo kundorwa neBheteri, uye Baba vedu vakanga vainavo. ²³Imba yaJosefa yakatuma varume kundosora Bheteri (guta raimbonzi Ruzi). ²⁴Vasori vakaona murume achibuda muguta vakati kwaari, “Tiratidze nzira yokupinda nayo, isu tigokuitira zvakanaka.” ²⁵Saka akavaratidza nzira yokupinda nayo, vakauraya guta nomunondo, asi vakarega murume neveimba yake vose vachienda. ²⁶Murume uyu akaenda kunyika yavaHiti, akavaka guta, akaritumidza kuti Ruzi—ndiro zita raro kusvikira nhasi.
