3 Zvino Joshua akanga akapfeka nguo dzakasviba,+ akamira pamberi pengirozi.
4 Iye akabva ati kune vaya vakanga vakamira pamberi pake: “Mubvisei nguo dzakasviba.” Akatizve kwaari: “Ona, ndabvisa kukanganisa kwako pauri,+ wava kupfekedzwa nguo refu dzomutambo.”+
5 Ndakabva ndati: “Ngavaise ngowani yakachena mumusoro make.”+ Zvino vakaisa ngowani yakachena mumusoro make, vakamupfekedza nguo; uye ngirozi yaJehovha yakanga yakamira pedyo.

8 “‘Ndapota, inzwa, haiwa iwe mupristi mukuru Joshua, iwe neshamwari dzako dzakagara pamberi pako, nokuti ivo vanhu vari kushanda sezviratidzo;+ nokuti ndichaunza mushumiri+ wangu anonzi Nhungirwa!+
9 Nokuti tarira! dombo+ randakaisa pamberi paJoshua! Padombo rimwe chete pane maziso manomwe.+ Tarira ndichatemera runyoro rwaro,’+ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wemauto, ‘uye ndichabvisa kukanganisa kwenyika iyoyo muzuva rimwe chete.’+
10 “‘Pazuva iroro,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wemauto, ‘mumwe nomumwe achashevedza mumwe wake, ari pasi pomuzambiringa uye ari pasi pomuonde.’”+
