3 Pashishe Yoshua wakajuka mu dindadinda, ne yeye ne bena Isalele* bonso bakumbuka ku Shitima,+ kufikabu ku Yadene. Bakapitshisha butuku muaba au kumpala kua kusabukabu.
2 Panyima pa matuku asatu, batangidi+ bakapita mu tshitudilu,
3 kutuminabu bantu dîyi ne: “Diakamue panudi numona bakuidi bena Lewi bambula mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa Nzambi wenu,+ nudi ne bua kuasa luendu muaba unudi, kuwulonda.
4 Kadi nuikale nawu ntanta wa nkubita 2 000,* kanusemenyi pabuipi nawu to, bua numanye njila wa kuyila bualu kanutu banji kuyila mu njila eu to.”
5 Ke Yoshua kuambila bantu ne: “Nudijidile,+ bualu malaba Yehowa neenze malu a kukema munkatshi muenu.”+
6 Pashishe Yoshua wakambila bakuidi ne: “Ambulayi mushete+ wa tshipungidi, nupite kumpala kua bantu.” Nunku bakambula mushete wa tshipungidi, kupitabu kumpala kua bantu.
7 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Yoshua ne: “Lelu eu nentuadije kukutumbisha ku mêsu kua Isalele mujima,+ bua bamanye ne: nengikale nebe+ anu bu mumvua ne Mose.+
8 Udi ne bua kutumina bakuidi bikala ne bua kuambula mushete wa tshipungidi dîyi edi ne: ‘Panudi nufika ku muelelu kua mâyi a Yadene, nushale bimane mu Yadene.’”+
9 Nunku Yoshua wakambila bena Isalele ne: “Luayi kuneku, nuteleje mêyi a Yehowa Nzambi wenu.”
10 Ke Yoshua kuamba ne: “Bua bualu ebu nenumanye ne: Nzambi wa muoyo udi munkatshi muenu,+ ne neipate kakuyi mpata bena Kanâna, bena Hiti, bena Hiwi, bena Pelizi, bena Gîgashi, bena Amole ne bena Yebuse+ kumpala kuenu.
11 Monayi! Mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Mukalenge wa buloba bujima udi ubuela mu Yadene kumpala kuenu.
12 Mpindieu sungulayi bantu balume 12 mu bisa bia Isalele, muntu umue bua tshisa tshionso,+
13 ne diakamue padi makasa a bakuidi badi bambule Mushete wa Yehowa, Mukalenge wa buloba bujima, adiata* mâyi a Yadene, mâyi a Yadene adi apueka afumina ku mutu neakosoloke, ne neimane anu bu nkila.”*+
14 Nunku pakasa bantu luendu bumbuka ku ntenta yabu kumpala kua kusabukabu Yadene, bakuidi bavua bambule mushete+ wa tshipungidi bakapita kumpala kua bantu.
15 Diakamue pavua bantu bavua bambule Mushete bafike ku Yadene ne bakuidi bavua bambule mushete batue makasa abu mu mâyi a ku muelelu (pabi Yadene uvua uwula bikole upita pa mikalu yende+ matuku onso a dinowa),
16 mâyi avua apueka afumina ku mutu akimana. Akimana mabande muulu menze bu nkila* kule menemene ku Adama, tshimenga tshidi pabuipi ne Saletana, pavua mâyi avua apueka ku Mbuu wa mu Alabâ, Mbuu wa Mukele,* enda akama. Mâyi akakosoloka, ne bantu kusabukabu dia muamua bitangilangane ne Yeliko.
17 Pavua bakuidi bavua bambule mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa bashale bimane pa buloba bume+ munkatshi mua Yadene, Isalele mujima wakasabuka pa buloba bume,+ too ne pavua tshisamba tshijima tshijikije kusabuka Yadene.
