1 Haaho, Nahano anadeta kwokuno: «E Yoshwa, utayobohe, utanavunike umutima. Uyabiirage abasirikaani booshi, munagendi teera akaaya keꞌHayi. Si keera nabiika umwami wako mu maboko gaawe, kuguma naꞌbandu baage, kiri neꞌkihugo kyage kyoshi. 2 Yako kaaya keꞌHayi noꞌmwami wako, ugakagira nga kwo ukagira akaaya keꞌYeriko noꞌmwami wako. Si leero, ibindu byabo byoshi bigaaba byeꞌmwinyu. Aaho! Mugendi bishama inyuma lyaꞌkaaya, gira mukayiji kateera.»

3 Yoshwa anarongoora abasirikaani baage booshi halinde i Hayi. Anatoola ibikalage byaꞌbasirikaani bihumbi makumi gashatu, anabatuma bushigi, 4 anabakomeereza kwokuno: «Mundegage amatwiri. Yako kaaya, mugendi bishama inyuma lyako. Munabeere haaho-haaho, muli ibiringiini. 5 Naani, kuguma naꞌbandi booshi bo tuliriinwi, tugagendi kateera hiꞌrembo lyako.

«Mango yabo batuulaga bayiji tulwisa nga kulya kwa mbere, tugatee bapuumuka. 6 Nabo, bagayija batulandiriziizi kwo, halinde batushendekeze hala naꞌkaaya kaabo. Bagaatona kwo batuhima, nga kwokulya kwa mbere. Ikyanya tugaaba tukola mu bapuumuka, 7 mwehe munayami bishuuka, munagwate akaaya kaabo. Mukuba, Nahano, Rurema winyu akoli kabiisiri mu maboko giinyu. 8 Mango mwakagwata, mukayami kajigiivya, nga kwo Nahano adesiri. Aahago! Yaga mategeko, mugasimbahe.»

9 Haaho, Yoshwa anababwira kwo bagendi yibisha ha kati keꞌHayi neꞌBeteeri, uluhande lweꞌmuga lweꞌHayi. Mu bwobwo bushigi, Yoshwa yehe analaala mu shumbi yaꞌBahisiraheeri.

10 Iri bukatejuukana, Yoshwa anavyuka, anakuumania Abahisiraheeri, kuguma neꞌbirongoozi, anabatwala hoofi naꞌkaaya. 11 Yabo booshi bo akatwala, banabunda uluhande lweꞌmbembe, mu kabanda ákâli riiri hoofi lyako. 12 Anayabiira abandi basirikaani hoofi bihumbi bitaanu, anababisha ha kati kaꞌkaaya keꞌBeteeri, naꞌkeꞌHayi, imuga. 13 Yoshwa, anayabiiraga ikiso kihamu, anakibiika uluhande lweꞌmbembe yako. Na ngiisi ábakasigala, anababiika uluhande lweꞌmuga yako, gira bakayiji kateera ha nyuma. Mu bwobwo bushigi, yehe anagendi laala mu kabanda.

14 Mwami weꞌHayi, ikyanya akavyuka, abona Abahisiraheeri bali ha kajabo kaꞌkabanda, anashubi yimuka kuguma naꞌbandu booshi baꞌkaaya kaabo. Balya booshi, banashubi genda ku gwogulya mudulumuko úgwâli shooziri i Haraba, gira bagendi teera yaꞌBahisiraheeri. Kiziga uyo mwami, atâli yiji kweꞌnyuma lyage, hakola abandu ábamúbishamiri.

15 Yoshwa, kuguma na balya Bahisiraheeri booshi, banayigira nga ábahimwa, banayihongoleka mwiꞌshamba. 16 Abandu booshi beꞌHayi, banatabaazibwa kwo bakulikire Yoshwa naꞌbandu baage. Banashindibuka ku Yoshwa, halinde banayikondeera hala naꞌkaaya. 17 Mu kaaya keꞌHayi, ndaaye kiri noꞌmushosi muguma úkakasigala mwo. Si booshi, bâli bingiriziizi Abahisiraheeri, kyanatuma kagasigala buzira mulaazi.

18 Lyeryo, Nahano anabwiraga Yoshwa kwokuno: «Ewe! Ukunangule itumu lyawe, ulishonge mu kaaya keꞌHayi. Mukuba, keera nakabiika mu maboko gaawe.» Yoshwa anasimbaha. 19 Kwokwo, Yoshwa anakema balya bandu ábâli bishamiri inyuma lyaꞌkaaya, banabishuuka, banayami yingira mu kaaya banakagwata mbira, banakaduulika mwoꞌmuliro.

20 Abandu beꞌHayi, mbu bakebagane, banabona kwaꞌkaaya kaabo kakola mu singooka, banabula ho bagatibitira. Mukuba, kundu bâli yimwiri Abahisiraheeri, haliko yabo Bahisiraheeri bâli mali bahindukira, gira babalwise.

21 Yoshwa, naꞌBahisiraheeri booshi, iri bakabona kwo balya ábashubi bishamiri keera bagwata akaaya, neꞌkyusi kigweti kigatutumuka, banahindukira yabo ábâli bakulikiiri, banatondeera ukubayita. 22 Abasirikaani ábâli bishamiri mu kaaya, nabo banalyoka mwo, gira batabaale abaabo. Balya bandu beꞌHayi banayigwana bakola ha kati keꞌbiso bibiri byaꞌbasirikaani baꞌBahisiraheeri. Ndaanaye kiri noꞌmuguma úkafuuka, booshi banayitwa. 23 Si mwami wako, yehe banamúgwata mbira, banamútwala imunda Yoshwa.

24 Yabo bandu beꞌHayi, yabo Bahisiraheeri banagenda bagabahiiva mwiꞌshamba, kiri na mu mbingiro. Neꞌkyanya bakayusa ukubayita booshi, banagalukira mu kaaya, banahereereza ábâli sigiiri mwo. 25 Ku lwolwo lusiku, abashosi naꞌbakazi mu kaaya keꞌHayi bakaminikwa. Banâli hisiri bandu bihumbi ikumi na bibiri.

26 Yoshwa âli bangwiri ukuboko úkwâli fumbiiti itumu. Atakakuyisa haashi, halinde abatuulaga booshi beꞌHayi bakaba keera bayitwa. 27 Abahisiraheeri banagendi shahula ibitugwa neꞌbindi bindu, nga kwo Nahano akagwanwa abwira Yoshwa. 28 Yako kaaya, kwokwo kwo Yoshwa akakajigiivya, kanakoli ba biguuka, halinde zeene.

29 Ulya mwami weꞌHayi, Yoshwa anamúmanika ku kiti, anamúsiga kwo, halinde kabigingwe. Iri izuuba likaba likola ligasooka, Yoshwa anabwira abandu kwo bagendi lyosa ikirunda ku kiti, banagendi kikabula kwiꞌrembo lyaꞌkaaya, banakilunda kwaꞌmabuye, ganakiri ho halinde zeene.

30 Ha nyuma, Yoshwa anagendaga ku mugazi Hebaali, anayubakira Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri haꞌkatanda koꞌkusiriigiza kwaꞌmatuulo. 31 Yako katanda, anakayubaka nga kwo Musa, umukozi wa Nahano akabwira Abahisiraheeri. Mukuba, biri biyandike mu kitaabo kyeꞌmaaja za Musa, kwo katayubakwe naꞌmabuye ágakabaajwa neꞌkikolanwa kyeꞌkyuma. Ku yako katanda, banakizi tangira Nahano kwaꞌmatuulo goꞌkusiriiza lwoshi, na goꞌkuyerekana ingoome.

32 Yoshwa, ikyanya akaba imbere lyaꞌBahisiraheeri booshi, anashubi hokoorora imaaja ku mabuye, nga kwokulya Musa âli yandisiri. 33 Abahisiraheeri booshi, banazunguluka Akajumba keꞌKihango kya Nahano, bali naꞌbashaaja baabo, naꞌbimangizi baabo, naꞌbatwi beꞌmaaja, neꞌbinyamahanga byoshi byo bâli ririinwi. Yabo booshi, banayimanga imbere lyaꞌbagingi baꞌBalaawi, bwo bâli betwiri yako Kajumba. Yabo bandu, ikimaanye kiguma kyanayimanga uluhande lwoꞌmugazi Gerizimu. Neꞌkindi, kyanayimanga uluhande lwoꞌmugazi Hebaali. Bakagira kwokwo, nga kwo Musa, umukozi wa Nahano, âli mali gwanwa ababwira, gira balonge ukugashaanirwa.

34 Ha nyuma, Yoshwa anasoma imaaja zooshi, nga kwo biri biyandike mu kitaabo, gaba gali magambo goꞌbugashaane, kandi iri giꞌdaaki. 35 Ngiisi byoshi byo Musa akayandika, Yoshwa anabisoma. Na yaho, hâli kumaniri abashosi, naꞌbakazi, naꞌbaana, kiri neꞌbinyamahanga.
