5 Aboobo bakati: “Ikuti naa mwatufwida luzyalo, amutupe nyika eeyi tobabelesi banu kuti ibe lukono lwesu. Mutatupi kuti tuzabuke Jordano pe.”
6 Kumane Musa wakati kubana ba Gadi akubana ba Rubeni: “Sena ncibotu kuti banabokwanu baunke kunkondo nywebo kamukkede buyo okuno?
7 Nkaambo nzi ncomuyanda kutyompya bana Israyeli kuti batazabuki akunjila munyika eeyo Jehova njayakubapa?
8 Oobu mbombubo abalo bamauso mbobakacita nindakabatuma kuzwa ku Kadesi-barinea kuti bakabone nyika.+
9 Nobakaunka ku Kkuti* lya Esikoli+ akwiibona nyika, bakatyompya bana Israyeli kuti batanjili munyika eeyo Jehova njaakali kuyoobapa.+
10 Mpoonya buzuba oobo ibukali bwa Jehova bwakabuka, mane wakakonka kuti:+

12 pele buyo Kalebe+ imwana wa Jefune muna Kenizi a Joshua+ imwana wa Nuni, nkaambo batobela Jehova amoyo woonse.’+
13 Aboobo bukali bwa Jehova bwakabukila bana Israyeli, eelyo wakabapa kuti baingaile munkanda myaka iili 40,+ mane kusikila zyalani eelyo ilyakali kucita bubi kubusyu bwa Jehova nilyakamaninina.+
14 Lino nywebo nobasizibi mwatalika kucita mbubonya mbobakacita bamauso, kuti mwiindizye bukali bupati bwa Jehova kubana Israyeli.
15 Ikuti muleke kumutobela, masimpe ulabaleka kuti kabacikkede munkanda, eelyo mulapa kuti bantu aaba boonse banyonyooke.”
16 Nokwakainda ciindi bakaunka kulinguwe akumwaambila kuti: “Amutuleke tuyake zimpati zyamabwe zyabanyama besu bavwubwa alimwi aminzi yabana besu.
17 Pele swebo tulazumanana katulibambilide kuunka kunkondo+ alimwi tulaunka kumbele lyabana Israyeli kusikila tukabanjizye mubusena bwabo, lino bana besu balasyaala muminzi iikwabilidwe, kabakwabilidwe kubantu bamunyika eeyi.
18 Tatukapiluki kumaanda eesu kusikila umwi aumwi wabana Israyeli akajane nyika yalukono lwakwe.+
19 Swebo tatukapegwi lukono antoomwe ambabo kutala lya Jordano, nkaambo twapegwa lukono lwesu kujwe aa Jordano.”+
20 Musa wakabaingula kuti: “Ikuti naa mwazumina kucita oobo: Amulibambile kuunka kunkondo+ kubusyu bwa Jehova;
21 alimwi ikuti naa umwi aumwi wanu alibambile kuunka kunkondo akuzabuka Jordano kubusyu bwa Jehova natanda basinkondonyina kuzwa kubusyu bwakwe+
22 kusikila nyika ikazundwe kubusyu bwa Jehova,+ kumane muyoopiluka+ kamutajisi mulandu kuli Jehova akubana Israyeli. Mpoonya nyika eeyi iyooba lukono lwanu kubusyu bwa Jehova.+
23 Pele ikuti mutaciti oobo, mulabisizya Jehova. Ikuti caba boobo, amuzyibe kuti cibi canu ciyoomutobela.
24 Aboobo mulakonzya kuyakila bana banu minzi akuyakila banyama banu zimpati,+ pele mweelede kucita mbubonya mbomwasyomezya.”
25 Bana ba Gadi abana ba Rubeni bakaambila Musa kuti: “Tobabelesi bako tulacita mbubonya mwami wesu mbwaalailila.
26 Bana besu, bamakaintu besu abanyama besu boonse balasyaala kuno muminzi ya Gileadi,+
27 pele swebo tobabelesi bako tulazabuka kubusyu bwa Jehova+ akuunka kunkondo, umwi aumwi kalibambilide, mbubonya mwami mbwaamba.”
28 Aboobo Musa wakapa malailile aajatikizya mbabo kuli Eleazara mupaizi, kuli Joshua imwana wa Nuni alimwi akuli basilutwe baziinga zyabamausyi zyamisyobo ya Israyeli.
29 Aboobo Musa wakati kulimbabo: “Ikuti bana ba Gadi abana ba Rubeni bakazabuke Jordano antoomwe andinywe, umwi aumwi kalibambilide kuunka kunkondo kubusyu bwa Jehova, akuti nyika mukaizunde, nkokuti muyoobapa nyika ya Gileadi kuti ikabe lukono lwabo.+
30 Pele ikuti bakake kulibambila kuunka kunkondo akuzabuka antoomwe andinywe, nkokuti beelede kuyookkala akati kanu munyika ya Kanana.”
31 Bamvwe boobo ibana ba Gadi abana ba Rubeni bakaingula kuti: “Tulacita ncaatwaambila Jehova tobabelesi banu.
32 Tulalibambila kuunka kunkondo akuzabuka kubusyu bwa Jehova kunyika ya Kanana,+ pele lukono lwesu luyooba kutala lino lya Jordano.”
33 Aboobo Musa wakabapa–bana ba Gadi, bana ba Rubeni+ acisela camusyobo wa Manase+ mwana wa Josefa–bwami bwa Sihoni+ mwami wabana Amori abwami bwa Ogi+ mwami wa Basani, inyika aminzi yoonse iili muzilawo eezyo aminzi iili munyika yeengelede.
