9 Yoswa anati kwa Aisraeli, “Bwerani pano mudzamve mawu a Yehova Mulungu wanu. 10 Umu ndi mmene mudzadziwira kuti Mulungu wamoyo ali pakati panu. Inu mukamadzapita patsogolo Iye adzathamangitsa Akanaani, Ahiti, Ahivi, Aperezi, Agirigasi, Aamori ndi Ayebusi. 11 Pamenepo, Bokosi la Chipangano la Mbuye wa dziko lonse lapansi lidzawoloka mu Yorodani patsogolo panu. 12 Musankhe amuna khumi ndi awiri kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Israeli. 13 Mapazi a ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Yehova, Mbuye wa dziko lapansi, akadzangoponda mu Yorodani, madzi ake onse ochokera ku mtunda adzaleka kuyenda ndipo adzayima ngati chipupa.”

Madzi a Yorodani ochokera ku mtunda anawunjikana pamodzi ngati khoma lalitali pa mtunda wautali ndithu ndi mzinda wa Adama chapafupi ndi mzinda wa Zaretani. Madzi othamangira ku nyanja ya Araba, ngakhalenso amene amachokera kuti Nyanja ya Mchere amathera pamenepo. Choncho anthu anawoloka tsidya lina moyangʼanana ndi Yeriko. 17 Ansembe onyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova anali chiyimire powuma, pakati pa Yorodani pamene Aisraeli amawoloka mpaka gulu lonse linamaliza kuwoloka powuma.
