Yoshua 7:1-26
7 Kadi bena Isalele bakapanga lulamatu bua bintu bivuabu ne bua kubutula, bualu Akana+ muana wa Kâmi, muana wa Zabedi, muana wa Zela, wa mu tshisa tshia Yuda wakangata bimue bintu bivuabu ne bua kubutula.+ Ke tshiji tshia Yehowa kutemenatshi bena Isalele.+
2 Pashishe Yoshua wakatuma bantu balume kumbukila ku Yeliko bua kuya ku Ai+ udi pabuipi ne Bete-awena ne udi ku est kua Betele,+ kubambilaye ne: “Bandayi, nutentekele buloba.” Nunku bantu abu bakabanda, kutentekelabu Ai.
3 Pakapinganabu kudi Yoshua, bakamuambila ne: “Kabiena bikengela bua bantu bonso babande kuntu aku to. Bantu batue ku 2 000 anyi 3 000 mbakumbane bua kutshimuna Ai. Kutshiokeshi tshisamba tshijima, utshituma kuntu aku to, bualu bobu badi anu bakese.”
4 Nunku bantu balume batue ku 3 000 bakabanda kuntu aku, kadi bakanyema bantu ba ku Ai.+
5 Bantu ba ku Ai bakashipa bantu 36, bobu kubalondakaja pambelu pa tshiibi tshia tshimenga too ne ku Shebalima,* ne bakatungunuka ne kubashipa mu dipueka. Nunku mioyo ya bantu yakabanga kuzakala, bobu kupanga dikima.*
6 Ke Yoshua kudipanda bilamba, kutuaye mpala wende panshi kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa too ne ku dilolo, yeye ne bakulu ba mu Isalele, ne bakatungunuka anu ne kudiela buloba mu mutu.
7 Yoshua wakamba ne: “Aka! Mukalenge Mutambe Bunene Yehowa, bua tshinyi uvua mulue ne tshisamba etshi, mutshisabuishe too ne Yadene anu bua kutufila mu bianza bia bena Amole bua kutubutulabu? Tuvua mua kuikala nansha bashale dia muamua* dia Yadene!
8 Mfuila koku luse Yehowa, ntshinyi tshindi mua kuamba mpindieu udi Isalele munyeme kumpala kua bena lukuna bende?*
9 Pumvua bena Kanâna ne bantu bonso ba mu buloba ebu bualu ebu, nebatunyunguluke ne nebajimije dîna dietu mene pa buloba, ne ntshinyi tshiwenza bua dîna diebe dinene?”+
10 Yehowa wakandamuna Yoshua ne: “Juka! Bua tshinyi udi mutue mpala panshi?
11 Bena Isalele mbenze mpekatu. Mbanyange tshipungidi tshianyi+ tshimvua mubelele mukenji bua kulama. Mbangate bimue bintu bivuabu ne bua kubutula,+ mbabiibe+ ne mbabiteke mu bintu biabu mu musokoko.+
12 Nunku bena Isalele kabakukumbana bua kuimana kumpala kua bena lukuna babu to. Nebele bena lukuna babu nyima ne nebabanyeme, bualu mbalue tshintu tshia kubutula. Nuenu kanuyi babutule tshintu tshivuabu ne bua kubutula tshidi munkatshi muenu, tshiakuikala nenu to.+
13 Juka, ujidile bantu!+ Ubambile ne: ‘Dijidilayi bua malaba, bualu Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele udi wamba ne: “Tshintu tshidibu ne bua kubutula tshidi munkatshi muebe, wewe Isalele. Kuakukumbana bua kuimana kumpala kua bena lukuna bebe too ne paudi umbusha tshintu tshia kubutula tshidi munkatshi muebe.
14 Nenulue mu dinda tshisa ku tshisa, ne tshisa tshiasungula Yehowa+ netshisemene dîku ku dîku, ne dîku diasungula Yehowa nedisemene nzubu ku nzubu, ne nzubu wasungula Yehowa neasemene muntu ku muntu.
15 Muntu wakuatabu ne tshintu tshia kubutula nebamuoshe ne kapia,+ yeye ne bionso bidiye nabi, bualu mmunyange tshipungidi+ tshia Yehowa ne bualu mmuenze bualu bua bundu mu Isalele.”’”
16 Nunku pakatshiabu, Yoshua wakajuka mu dinda menemene, kusemejaye bena Isalele tshisa ku tshisa, bobu kusungula tshisa tshia Yuda.
17 Wakasemeja mêku a Yuda, bobu kusungula dîku dia bena Zela,+ pashishe kusemejaye dîku dia bena Zela muntu ku muntu, kusungulabu Zabedi.
18 Ndekelu wa bionso, wakasemeja ba mu nzubu mua Zabedi muntu ku muntu, kusungulabu Akana muana wa Kâmi, muana wa Zabedi, muana wa Zela, wa mu tshisa tshia Yuda.+
19 Ke Yoshua kuambila Akana ne: “Muananyi, ndi nkulomba bua unemeke Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele ne umutondele mpekatu webe. Ngambila koku tshiudi muenze. Kutshinsokoki to.”
20 Akana wakandamuna Yoshua ne: “Bushuwa, meme ke udi muenzele Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele mpekatu; bualu bundi muenze budi nunku:
21 Pamvua mumone tshilamba tshimpe tshia pa buatshi tshia ku Shinâ,+ ne nshekele* 200 ya tshiamu tshia arjan ne mulungu wa or wa bujitu bua nshekele 50 mu bintu bituvua bapete, biakansamina muoyo, ke meme kubiangata. Mpindieu mbisokoka mu buloba mu ntenta wanyi, ne makuta adi muinshi.”
22 Diakamue Yoshua wakatuma bantu, kuyabu lubilu mu ntenta wa Akana; monayi, tshilamba tshivua tshisokoka mu ntenta amu ne makuta avua muinshi muatshi.
23 Nunku bakangata bintu abi mu ntenta, kuluabu nabi kudi Yoshua ne kudi bena Isalele bonso, bobu kubiteka kumpala kua Yehowa.
24 Pashishe Yoshua ne bena Isalele bavua nende bakangata Akana+ muana wa Zela, ne tshiamu tshia arjan, ne tshilamba tshia pa buatshi, ne mulungu wa or,+ pamue ne bana bende ba balume, ne bana bende ba bakaji, ne ngombe yende, ne mpunda yende, ne mikoko yende, ne ntenta wende, ne bintu bionso bivuaye nabi, bobu kuya nabu mu Tshibandabanda* tshia Akola.+
25 Pashishe Yoshua wakamba ne: “Bua tshinyi udi mutukebele dikenga?*+ Yehowa neakutumine dikenga lelu eu.” Ke bena Isalele bonso kumuasa mabue,+ pashishe bakabuosha ne kapia.+ Nunku bakabasa mabue buonso buabu.
26 Pashishe bakakunguija mushiki munene wa mabue pa mutu pende; mushiki au udiku too ne lelu. Nunku tshiji tshikole tshia Yehowa tshiakapueka.+ Ke bualu kayi badi babikila muaba au ne: Tshibandabanda tshia Akola* too ne lelu.
