8 Mada Joshua ọkk'anọng mba idik nna ọgbaakha, afọhnẹja mba azenamfa p'atzim abukpọhng azenamfa k'itzitzikha s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, akwọbha k'ororo, am-agyi abukpọhng pabẹ, Ẹkkọhbhi ch'Echekhi ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ebire etzor bẹ nnam. 9 Abaabhi p'ade arim-egbong acheden, afọhnẹja p'agyi abukpọhng ajema, yina ọkhaana kw'abaabhi on-otzori Ẹkkọhbhi ch'Echekhi nnam. M'ogbe nwa biphyir bẹ achina ororo agyi abukpọhng. 10 Yina, ode cha Joshua okk'arim-egbong ẹfa ọnanga bi, “Bọng agbong-mọng kàkkọhn, bọng iyọkhi kàsi, bọng ẹmọng manda dani kàkpẹbh maa, opyiri ewu cha mben bọng bi, bọng akpẹbh.

Bẹ atzima chẹ akhọri ogbe wani, yina arim-egbong an-abhan k'ibhingabe atza attaabha m'erungi nduma.
12 Joshua e, ọphyọbha k'ekpekpebha ch'ewu ehobh mẹ, afọhnẹja atzini Ẹkkọhbhi ch'Echekhi ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. 13 Afọhnẹja mba azenamfa p'atzim abukpọhng azenamfa akwọbha am-agyi abukpọhng mba, yina Ẹkkọhbhi ch'Echekhi ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi en-ejem. Arim-egbong achi bẹ eden k'ororo, yina ọkhaana kw'abaabhi on-otzori Ẹkkọhbhi ch'Echekhi ch'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi nnam. Bẹ am-achina ororo agyi abukpọhng. 14 Ottong iwu ifa bẹ abira arenga akhọri odedenmon ogbe wani, yina bẹ an-abhan k'ibhingabe. Wa bẹ asi mando k'iwu azadani.

Ode ngọmi kwẹ on-ode bi, wa bẹ an-akhọri odedenmon nwa igbe izenamfa m'ewu nduma. 16 Okwu ottonga igbe izenamfa sa bẹ akk'akhọri, afọhnẹja agyi abukpọhng. Mando kwa Joshua ọnangi arim-egbong ẹfa oben bi, “Bọng kpẹbh!

Oyongi Rehab kw'ode ọzaaza-kwanọng, ọmaana ọnọng kpenamkpen kw'owobh k'ọhọhm kwẹ bọ ákhaama ẹnaanga, okhuri da iwa ọkkaan odubha nttọ sa mọtzọhmi. 18 Yina, bọng ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'ofon m'obhon nwa kàtzọkha, ifha bọng aningi oponga-pyibha atzọk.

20 Mada bẹ agyi abukpọhng, arim-egbong p'Israẹl awuri amọng k'ẹrọng, mada bẹ awuri amọng mba, echumi ch'ọbaakha kwa Jeriko etto, arim-egbong biphyir adim kẹ atzọkha odedenmon nwa. 21 Bẹ atte odedenmon nwa ọbọhk anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, bẹ atzima ọkkangkkaang afhu ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'orukhi akpen, ajinọng ọmaana panọng akhar-ọkhara, abar-ọbar, abhaam, ọmaana arukhimaan ttara nnyanyaang.
22 Mando kwa Joshua obeni ajinọng mba afa p'iwa akk'obhon nwa atza aroma bi, “Bọng dim k'ọhọhm kw'ọzaaza-kwanọng nwa, atzim-ẹ ayin k'iyaan ọmaana ọnọng kpenamkpen kw'owobh ttar-ẹ, atzor k'echekhi ch'iwa bọng akhaam ttar-ẹ.” 23 Mando kw'ajinọng mba p'iwa atza arom obhon nwa adimi kẹ bẹ atzima Rehab ayin k'iyaan, ttara otte ọmaana ọkka, ọmaana vọkka p'ijinọng ttara ọnọng kpenamkpen kw'ode kwẹ.

24 Mada bẹ akk'mando asa, bẹ atza akwọmi odedenmon nwa biphyir ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'owobh kẹ. Yina, wa bẹ atzọkha silva ọmaana gol, ọmaana ẹfhanginẹkpo pya brọns ttara akkonga atza aye k'ọkkọ-họhm kw'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. 25 Yina, wa Joshua otte Rehab kw'ode ọzaaza-kwanọng ọbọhk, ọmaana echimma chẹ ttara ọnọng kpenamkpen kw'ode kwẹ, okhuri da iwa odubh ajinọng pa Joshua ọkk'ọtzọhma macha nttọ bi, bẹ atza arom Jeriko. Wa anọng mba an-aruk ttara anọng p'Israẹl maa, apyiri k'ewu cha mayina.
26 M'ogbe nwuma, Joshua ọtzọr anọng p'Israẹl itzọhng oben bi,
“Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọ́nang ọnọng kpenamkpen ẹmma kw'óben bi, obiro okwu osi odedenmon nwa kwa Jeriko:
