Bena Isalele bakumbuka ku mukuna wa Sinai, kuenzabu luendu bapitshila mu tshipela tshia Palana batangile ku Kadeshe. Yehowa wakambila Mose kuntu aku ne: ‘Tuma bantu balume 12, mu tshisa tshionso muntu umue, bua kutentekela Kanâna, buloba bungapesha bena Isalele.’ Nunku Mose wakasungula bantu balume 12, kubambilaye ne: ‘Ndayi mu Kanâna, numone bikala buloba bukumbane bua kudimamu biakudia. Numone bikala bantu badimu batekete anyi ba bukole, ne bikalabu basombele mu ntenta anyi mu bimenga.’ Batentekedi 12 bakaya mu Kanâna, munkatshi muabu muvua Yoshua ne Kaleba.

Pakapita matuku 40, batentekedi bakapingana, kuluabu ne tumuma tua mfigi, bimuma bia grenade, ne tumuma tua mvinyo. Batentekedi bakamba ne: ‘Buloba mbuimpe, kadi bantu badimu badi ne bukole ne bimenga bidi ne bimanu bile.’ Pashishe Kaleba wakamba ne: ‘Tudi mua kubatshimuna. Tuyayi anu mpindieu!’ Udiku mumanye bua tshinyi Kaleba uvua muambe nanku anyi? Bualu yeye ne Yoshua bavua beyemene Yehowa. Kadi batentekedi bakuabu dikumi bakamba ne: ‘Tòo! Bantu badi muntu amu mbantu ba mpolondo, banene bale! Tuetu tudi anu bu mpasu kumpala kuabu.’

Bena Isalele bakateketa mu maboko. Bakatuadija kudilakana bambilangana ne: ‘Tusungulayi mfumu mukuabu ne tupingane mu Ejipitu. Bua tshinyi tudi ne bua kuya kuntu aku bua baye kutushipa?’  Yoshua ne Kaleba bakamba ne: ‘Kanubengi kutumikila Yehowa, ne kanutshinyi to. Yehowa neatukube.’ Kadi bena Isalele kabakateleja to. Bakajinga too ne bua kushipa Yoshua ne Kaleba!

Ntshinyi tshiakenza Yehowa? Wakambila Mose ne: ‘Nansha mundi muenzele bena Isalele malu onso, kabena anu bantumikila to. Nunku nebashale mu tshipela bidimu 40, ne nebafuilamu. Anu bana babu balela, pamue ne Yoshua ne Kaleba ke basomba mu buloba bumvua mulaye bua kubapesha.’
