AWONA Yoswa. Wakuyowoya kuti: ‘Dazi, yimilira!’ Ndipo dazi likayimilira nadi. Likayimilira pakati pa mtambo zuŵa lose. Yehova ndiyo wakapangiska kuti ici cicitike! Tiye tiwone cifukwa ico Yoswa wakakhumbira dazi kuti lilutilire kuŵala.

Mafumu ghaheni ghankhondi gha caru ca Kenani ghakati ghayamba kutimbana na Ŵagibiyoni, Ŵagibiyoni ŵakatuma munthu kuti walute kukalomba wovwiri kwa Yoswa. ‘Zani kuno mwaluŵiro!’ Iyo wayowoya ntheura. ‘Tiponoskani! Mafumu ghose agho ghakukhala mu mapiri ghiza kuti ghatimbane na ŵateŵeti ŵinu.’

Nyengo yeneyiyo Yoswa na ŵanalume wose ŵankhondo ŵakaluta. Ŵakenda usiku wose. Ŵati ŵafika ku Gibiyoni, ŵasilikari ŵa mafumu ghankhondi ŵara ŵakacita wofi na kwamba kucimbira. Yehova wakakhizgira malibwe ghakuru kufuma kucanya, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵakafwa na malibwe kuluska awo ŵakakomeka na ŵanalume ŵankhondo ŵa Yoswa.

Ndico cifukwa cake Yoswa wakalomba kwa Yehova ndipo wakati: ‘Dazi, yimilira!’ Dazi lati lalutilira kuŵala, Ŵaisrayeli ŵakamalizga kuthereska ŵarwani ŵawo.

Mu Kenani mukaŵa mucali mafumu ghaheni ghanandi agho ghakatinkhanga ŵanthu ŵa Ciuta. Kukamutolera vilimika pafupifupi vinkhondi na cimoza kuti Yoswa na ŵasilikari ŵake ŵamalizge kuthereska mafumu 31 gha mu caru ca Kenani. Ici cati cacitika, Yoswa wakawoneseska kuti caru ca Kenani cagaŵika ku mafuko agho ghakaŵa ghacali kukhumba malo.

Vilimika vinandi vikajumphapo, Yoswa wakafwa na vilimika 110. Apo iyo na mabwezi ghake ŵakaŵa ŵamoyo, ŵanthu ŵakapulikiranga Yehova. Kweni ŵanthu ŵawemi aŵa ŵakati ŵafwa, ŵanthu ŵakamba kucita vinthu viheni na kunjira mu suzgo. Pa nyengo iyi ndipo ŵakakhumba comene wovwiri wa Ciuta.
