4 Mtundu wose ukati wambuka Yorodani, Yehova wakati kwa Joshuwa:
2 “Tora ŵanalume 12 pakati pa ŵanthu, pa fuko lililose mwanalume yumoza.+
3 Uŵalangure kuti: ‘Torani malibwe 12 pakati pa Yorodani, apo pangwimilira ŵasembe,*+ mughanyamure ndipo mukaghaŵike pa malo agho mwamugona usiku uno.’”+
4 Ntheura Joshuwa wakachema ŵanalume 12 pa Ŵaisrayeli, ŵeneawo wakaŵimika, pa fuko lililose mwanalume yumoza.
5 Joshuwa wakati kwa iwo: “Dangirani panthazi pa Likasa la Yehova Chiuta winu m’paka pakati pa Yorodani, ndipo waliyose wa imwe wanyamure libwe pa chiŵegha chake, kuyana na unandi wa mafuko gha Ŵaisrayeli,
6 mwakuti chiŵe chimanyikwiro pakati pinu. Usange kunthazi ŵana ŵinu ŵazakamufumbani kuti: ‘Kasi malibwe agha ngachi?’+
7 Imwe muzakaŵaphalirenge kuti: ‘Malibwe agha ntchikumbusko chamuyirayira ku Ŵaisrayeli,+ chifukwa maji gha Yorodani ghakimiskika panthazi pa likasa+ la Yehova apo likanyamulika kwambuka Yorodani.’”
8 Ntheura Ŵaisrayeli ŵakachita nga umo Joshuwa wakaŵaphalilira. Ŵakatora malibwe 12 pakati pa Yorodani, nga umo Yehova wakaphalilira Joshuwa, kuyana na unandi wa mafuko gha Ŵaisrayeli. Ŵakaghanyamura kuya nagho ku malo agho ŵakagona na kughaŵika penepara.
9 Joshuwa nayo wakaŵika malibwe 12 pakati pa Yorodani pa malo apo ŵasembe awo ŵakanyamura likasa la phangano ŵakimilira,+ ndipo malibwe agha ghachali penepara m’paka muhanya uno.
10 Ŵasembe awo ŵakanyamura Likasa ŵakimilira pakatikati pa Yorodani m’paka vyose ivyo Yehova wakalangura Joshuwa kuti waphalire ŵanthu vikamara, kuyana na vyose ivyo Mozesi wakalangura Joshuwa. Pa nyengo yose iyi, ŵanthu ŵakambukanga luŵiroluŵiro.
11 Ŵanthu wose ŵakati ŵambuka, Likasa la Yehova na ŵasembe ŵakambuka pamaso pa ŵanthu.+
12 Ndipo Ŵarubeni, Ŵagadi, na hafu ya fuko la Manase nawo ŵakambuka kunozgekera nkhondo+ panthazi pa Ŵaisrayeli ŵanyawo, nga umo Mozesi wakaŵaphalilira.+
13 Ŵasilikari pafupifupi 40,000 ŵakuŵa na vilwero vya nkhondo ŵakambuka panthazi pa Yehova kuya mu vidika vya Yeriko.
14 Pa zuŵa lira, Yehova wakakwezga Joshuwa pamaso pa Israyeli yose,+ ndipo ŵanthu ŵakamuchindikanga* chomene mazuŵa ghose gha umoyo wake, nga umo ŵakachindikiranga Mozesi.+
15 Penepapo Yehova wakati kwa Joshuwa:
16 “Phalira ŵasembe awo ŵanyamura likasa+ la Ukaboni kuti ŵafumemo mu Yorodani.”
17 Ntheura Joshuwa wakaphalira ŵasembe kuti: “Fumanimo mu Yorodani.”
18 Ŵasembe awo ŵakanyamura likasa+ la phangano la Yehova ŵakati ŵafumapo pakati pa Yorodani ndipo malundi gha ŵasembe ghakati ghakanda pa mtunda wakomira, maji gha Yorodani ghakambaso kwenda na kufulukira mumphepete mose,+ umo vikaŵira pakwamba.
19 Ŵanthu ŵakafumamo mu Yorodani pa zuŵa la 10 la mwezi wakwamba ndipo ŵakazenga msasa pa Giligala+ mu mphaka ya kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Yeriko.
20 Ndipo malibwe 12 agho ŵakatora mu Yorodani, Joshuwa wakaghaŵika pa Giligala.+
21 Penepapo wakati ku Ŵaisrayeli: “Kunthazi para ŵana ŵinu ŵakuzakafumba ŵawiskewo kuti: ‘Kasi malibwe agha ngachi?’+
22 muzakaŵalongosolere ŵana ŵinu kuti: ‘Israyeli wakambuka Yorodani pa mtunda wakomira,+
23 apo Yehova Chiuta winu wakakamuska maji gha Yorodani panthazi pawo m’paka ŵakambuka, nga umo Yehova Chiuta winu wakachitira na Nyanja Yiswesi apo wakayikamuska panthazi pithu m’paka tikambuka.+
24 Wakachita nthena kuti ŵanthu wose pa charu chapasi ŵamanye kuti woko la Yehova ndankhongono,+ ndiposo kuti muwopenge Yehova Chiuta winu nyengo zose.’”
