24 ¹Yosuwe wákhokisa bikanda byosu bya Kiseledi ku Sikemi, wátedisa bambuta bandi, batwadisi, bafundisi yi batsinzidi, amana bátelema ku thwala ya Tata wetu.

²Yosuwe wázimbula kwena batu boosu: «Tala mana kazimbula Tata wetu, Nzambi wa Kiseledi: “Tukidila thama, bakhaka benu bázinga ku sambwa dikwawu dya nzadi Efalati—Tela, tata wa Bulahami yi Nahodi—amana basadila banzambi bankaka. ³Yábonga tata wenu Bulahami ku sambwa dikwawu dya nzadi, yámunata muna tsi yosu ya Kanana, yávula bana bandi, amana yámuheka Yizaki. ⁴Yáheka Yizaki Yakobi yi Kizawu, yáheka Kizawu mongu wa Seyidi hanga kimvwama, kaasi Yakobi yi bana bandi bákulumuka ku Ngiphiti.

⁵Yáthuma Moyize yi Loni, yábeta Ngiphiti mu mana yásala mu kati dya bawu, amana yálulubula. ⁶Yálubula bakhaka benu mu Ngiphiti; lwátula ku yanga. Bisi Ngiphiti bálanda bakhaka benu ni makalu yi baphunda ku yanga dya Kabengi. ⁷Muna bábokila kwena meni, yátula mudima hana kati dya benu yi Bisi Ngiphiti, yánata yanga ha thandu ya bawu, amana yábafuka. Mesu menu mámona mana yásala mu Ngiphiti. Kunima lwázinga mu nganga tangwa dya lawu.

⁸Yálunata muna tsi ya Bayamoli ku sambwa dya Yolutani. Bálunwanisa; yábaheka mu moku menu, amana lwábonga tsi ya bawu. Yázilula bawu ku thwala ya benu. ⁹Amana Balaki mwana wa Zipoli, kinga wa Mowabi, wátelema amana wánwanisa Kiseledi. Wáthuma amana wátela Balami mwana wa Beoli hanga kalusinga, ¹⁰kaasi yázolaku kuyukila Balami, buna wálusakumuna mbala za lawu, amana yáluhulula mu koku kwandi.

¹¹Lwásabuka Yolutani ku Yediko. Bakwa mulambu wandi bálunwanisa—Bayamoli, Baphelizi, Bakanana, Bahiti, Bangilangasi, Bahivi, Bayebusi—kaasi yábaheka mu moku menu. ¹²Yáthuma mbonzi ku thwala ya benu; yákukwasa bakinga bodi ba Bayamoli ku thwala ya benu—ka mu mbedi yenu ku, ka mu bata dyenu ku. ¹³Yáluheka tsi yina lwásalaku, mbanza zina lwátungaku—amana lwenina mu zawu; lwisi dya mu mavinu yi mu bilanga bya olive bina lwákunaku.”»

¹⁴«Buthwena, bweyenu Tata wetu, musadilenu mu kasemi yi mu kwikama. Katulenu banzambi bana basadila bakhaka benu ku sambwa dikwawu dya nzadi yi mu Ngiphiti, amana musadilenu Tata wetu. ¹⁵Kaasi yuka ni kusadila Tata wetu kwamonika kwa mbi kwena benu, solenu benu meni lelu nani wuna lwakasadila—banzambi bana basadila bakhaka benu ku sambwa dikwawu dya nzadi, holo banzambi ba Bayamoli bana lwenina mu tsi ya bawu. Kaasi meni yi batu ba nzu yama, tukasadila Tata wetu.»

¹⁶Batu bávutula: «Buna tulendaku kulosa Tata wetu amana tusadila banzambi bankaka! ¹⁷Mukuma Tata wetu wátulubula betu yi bakhaka betu mu tsi ya Ngiphiti, mu nzu ya kihika, amana wásala bidimbu byabina byanene ku mesu metu. Watúkeba mboti-mboti mu nzila yosu yina twadyatila, yi hana kati dya batu boosu bana twáhyokila. ¹⁸Amana Tata wetu wákukwasa ku thwala ya betu batu boosu, kumosi yi Bayamoli bana bázinga mu tsi. Betu phi tukasadila yandi, mukuma yandi wenina Tata wetu.»

¹⁹Yosuwe wázimbula kwena batu: «Lwalendaku kusadila Tata wetu—yandi wenina Nzambi watoma, Nzambi wa kiphala. Káluyambwadilaku mambu menu ma kukonda kulemvuka yi masumu menu. ²⁰Yuka ni lwálosa Tata wetu amana lwasadila banzambi ba banzenza, yandi kavutuka, kalunyokuna, amana kaluzinisa, kunima dya kulusadila mamboti.»

²¹Kaasi batu bázimbula kwena Yosuwe: «Loni! Tukasadila Tata wetu.»

²²Amana Yosuwe wázimbula kwena batu: «Benu lwenina bambangi ha thandu ya benu meni ni lwasóla Tata wetu, hanga lumusadila.» Bawu bázimbula: «Betu twenina bambangi.»

²³«Buthwena katulenu banzambi ba banzenza bana benina mu kati dya benu, amana balulenu mbundu zenu kwena Tata wetu, Nzambi wa Kiseledi.»

²⁴Amana batu bázimbula kwena Yosuwe: «Tukasadila Tata wetu, amana tukalemvukila ndinga yandi.»

²⁵Yosuwe wásala bulunda yi batu muna kilumbu kina, amana wábasila nsiku yi mutsiku ku Sikemi. ²⁶Yosuwe wásonika mambu mama mu mukanda wa Mitsiku mya Tata wetu, amana wábonga tadi dyanene amana wáditelemika kwakuna ku sina dya miti wa olive bela-bela yi kikumbu kya Tata wetu.

²⁷Yosuwe wázimbula kwena batu boosu: «Tala, tadi dyadi dyakála kimbangi ha thandu ya betu, mukuma dyáyuka mambu moosu mana kázimbula Tata wetu kwena betu. Dyakála kimbangi ha thandu ya benu, hanga lulewulaku Tata wenu.» ²⁸Amana Yosuwe wáyambula batu benda, kosu mutu ku kimvwama kyandi.

Yosuwe, Musadi wa Tata, Wisi Vunda

²⁹Kunima dya bwabuna, Yosuwe mwana wa Nunu, musadi wa Tata wetu, wáfwa mu mvula khama mosi yi kumi. ³⁰Bámuzika mu kimvwama kyandi ku Timanati-Sela, mu kinzunga kya malondi ma Efwayimi, ku londi dya mongu wa Ngaasi. ³¹Kiseledi wásadila Tata wetu bilumbu byosu bya Yosuwe, yi bilumbu byosu bya bambuta bana bázinga ku manima ma yandi amana bázaya muhangu wosu wuna kásala Tata wetu kikuma kya Kiseledi. ³²Mifufwa mya Yozefu, mina bisi Kiseledi bánata tuka ku Ngiphiti, bámizika ku Sikemi, muna tsi yina kásumba Yakobi kwena bana ba Amoni, tata wa Sikemi, mu mbongu khama mosi—yákituka kimvwama kya bana ba Yozefu. ³³Eleyazadi mwana wa Loni wáfwa, amana bámuzika ku Ngibeya, yina báheka mwana wandi Phineyasi mu kinzunga kya malondi ma Efwayimi.
