Yoshua 8:1-35
8 Pashishe Yehowa wakambila Yoshua ne: “Kutshinyi anyi kuikadi ne buôwa to.+ Angata baluanganyi ba mvita bonso, ubande bua kuluisha Ai. Mona, ndi mufile mukalenge wa Ai ne bantu bende ne tshimenga tshiende ne buloba buende mu tshianza tshiebe.+
2 Wenzele Ai ne mukalenge wende anu muuvua muenzele Yeliko ne mukalenge wende,+ kadi nudi mua kuangata bintu ne bimuna binudi nupetamu buenu nuenu. Uteke bantu bua kualamina panyima pa tshimenga.”
3 Nunku Yoshua ne baluanganyi ba mvita bonso bakabanda bua kuluisha Ai. Yoshua wakasungula bilobo bia mvita binunu 30, kubitumaye butuku butuku.
4 Wakabitumina dîyi edi ne: “Tangilayi, nudi ne bua kualamina panyima pa tshimenga. Kanuyi kule menemene ne tshimenga to, ne nuenu bonso nuikale badilongolole.
5 Meme ne bantu bonso badi nanyi netusemene pabuipi ne tshimenga, ne padibu bapatuka bua kutuluisha anu bu kumpala,+ netubanyeme.
6 Padibu bapatuka bua kutulonda, netubakoke kule ne tshimenga, bualu nebambe ne: ‘Badi batunyema anu bu kumpala.’+ Nunku tuetu netubanyeme.
7 Pashishe nenujuke muaba unudi balamine, nenukuate tshimenga; Yehowa Nzambi wenu neatshifile mu bianza bienu.
8 Diakamue panudi nukuata tshimenga, nudi ne bua kutshitua kapia.+ Nenuenze malu bilondeshile dîyi dia Yehowa. Tangilayi, ndi munuambile tshinudi ne bua kuenza.”
9 Pashishe Yoshua wakabatuma, bobu kuya muaba uvuabu ne bua kualamina; bakimanyina pankatshi pa Betele ne Ai, ku ouest kua Ai, pavua Yoshua yeye mushale ne bantu butuku abu.
10 Pashishe Yoshua wakajuka mu dinda menemene, kusangishaye basalayi, ne yeye ne bakulu ba mu Isalele bakabalombola ku Ai.
11 Baluanganyi ba mvita bonso+ bavua nende bakaya, kusemenabu kumpala kua tshimenga. Bakatudila ku nord kua Ai, ne tshibandabanda tshivua pankatshi pabu ne Ai.
12 Pine apu ukavua muangate bantu batue ku 5 000, mubateke bua kualamina+ pankatshi pa Betele+ ne Ai, ku ouest kua tshimenga.
13 Nunku bantu bakasa tshitudilu tshinene ku nord kua tshimenga,+ ne basalayi bavua balamine bavua ku ouest kua tshimenga,+ ne Yoshua wakaya munkatshi mua tshibandabanda* butuku abu.
14 Diakamue pavua mukalenge wa Ai mumone bualu ebu, yeye ne bantu balume ba mu tshimenga bakapatuka lukasa mu dinda menemene bua kuluangana ne Isalele muaba kampanda uvua kuulu kua mpata wa tshipela. Kadi kavua mumanye ne: kuvua bantu bavua balamine panyima pa tshimenga bua kumuluisha to.
15 Pakatuadija bantu ba mu Ai kubaluisha, Yoshua ne bena Isalele bonso bakanyemena mu njila udi mutangile mu tshipela.+
16 Nunku bakatumina bantu bonso bavua mu tshimenga dîyi bua kubalondabu; ne pavuabu balonda Yoshua, bakakokibua kule ne tshimenga.
17 Kakuvua muntu mulume nansha umue uvua mushale mu Ai ne mu Betele uvua kayi mulonde bena Isalele to. Bakashiya tshimenga tshionso buashi, kulondabu bena Isalele.
18 Ke Yehowa kuambila Yoshua ne: “Olola tshianza tshiebe, utangije difuma didimu ku Ai,+ bualu nemmufile mu tshianza tshiebe.”+ Nunku Yoshua wakolola tshianza tshiende, kutangijaye difuma divuamu ku tshimenga.
19 Diakamue pakololaye tshianza, bantu bavua balamine bakajuka lukasa muaba uvuabu, kubuelabu mu tshimenga lubilu, kutshikuatabu, kutshituabu kapia musangu umue.+
20 Pakakudimuka bantu ba mu Ai, bakamona muishi wa tshimenga ubanda muulu, kupangabu bukole bua kunyemena luseke nansha lumue. Nunku bantu bavua banyemena luseke lua tshipela bakakudimukila bantu bavua babalonda.
21 Pakamona Yoshua ne bena Isalele bonso ne: bantu bavua balamine abu bavua bakuate tshimenga, ne bamone muishi wa tshimenga ubanda, bakakudimuka, kutuadijabu kuluisha bantu ba mu Ai.
22 Bakuabu abu bakapatuka pabu mu tshimenga bua kusambakena nabu, nunku bantu ba mu Ai bakadisangana munkatshi, bamue bena Isalele ku luseke elu ne bakuabu ku luseke lualua, ne bakabashipa too ne pavua muntu nansha umue kayi mushale ne muoyo anyi munyeme.+
23 Kadi bakakuata mukalenge wa Ai+ ne muoyo, kuluabu nende kumpala kua Yoshua.
24 Pakajikija bena Isalele kushipa bena mu Ai bonso pambelu pa tshimenga, mu tshipela muvuabu babalonde, ne pakakuluka muntu wa ndekelu ku muele wa mvita, nunku bena Isalele bonso bakapingana ku Ai, kumubutulabu ne muele wa mvita.
25 Bantu bonso bavua bafue dituku adi, bantu balume ne bantu bakaji, bavua binunu 12, mmumue ne: bantu bonso ba mu Ai.
26 Yoshua kakapingaja tshianza tshiende tshivua ne difuma tshivuaye muolole+ too ne pakabutulaye bantu bonso ba mu Ai.+
27 Kadi bena Isalele bakangata bimuna ne bintu bivuabu bapete mu tshimenga buabu bobu, bilondeshile mêyi avua Yehowa mutumine Yoshua.+
28 Pashishe Yoshua wakuosha Ai, kumushiyaye tshibundu bua kashidi,+ anu mudiye mushale too ne lelu.
29 Kukudikaye mukalenge wa Ai ku mutshi* too ne ku dilolo, ne pakavua dîba dikeba kubuela, Yoshua wakatuma dîyi bua batulule tshitalu tshiende ku mutshi.+ Pashishe bakatshimansha ku tshibuelelu tshia tshiibi tshia tshimenga, kunguijabu mushiki wa mabue pa tshitalu tshiende, mushiki au udiku too ne lelu.
30 Tshikondo atshi ke tshivua Yoshua muashile Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele tshioshelu ku mukuna wa Ebala,+
31 anu muvua Mose muena mudimu wa Yehowa mutumine bena Isalele dîyi bua kuenza ne anu mudibi bifunda mu mukanda wa Mikenji+ ya Mose ne: “Tshioshelu tshia mabue majima adibu kabayi bakose ne tshiamu.”+ Bakalambuilapu Yehowa milambu ya kuosha ne milambu ya diumvuangana.+
32 Pashishe wakatentula pa mabue apu Mikenji+ ivua Mose mufunde kumpala kua bena Isalele.+
33 Bena Isalele bonso, bakulu babu, batangidi babu, ne balumbuluishi babu, bavua bimane nseke yonso ibidi ya Mushete kumpala kua bakuidi bena Lewi bavua bambule mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa. Bantu bavua basombe buenyi ne bena Isalele bavuapu.+ Tshitupa tshia bantu tshivua tshimane kumpala kua mukuna wa Gelizima ne tshitupa tshikuabu kumpala kua mukuna wa Ebala,+ (anu muvua Mose muena mudimu wa Yehowa mudianjile kutuma dîyi),+ bua kubenesha tshisamba tshia Isalele.
34 Pashishe wakabala mêyi a mu Mikenji,+ mabenesha,+ ne milawu+ ne dîyi dikole, bilondeshile malu onso adibu bafunde mu mukanda wa Mikenji.
35 Kakuvua dîyi nansha dimue ku mêyi onso avua Mose mutume dîyi bua kuenza divua Yoshua kayi mubale ne dîyi dikole kumpala kua tshisumbu tshijima tshia bena Isalele,+ kusangisha ne bantu bakaji ne bana ne bantu bavua basombe buenyi+ bavua* munkatshi muabu.+
