Omui mu bantu aba li̱i̱na liye Akaani mutabani̱ wa Kalami̱, Kalami̱ mutabani̱ wa Jabbu̱di̱, Jabbu̱di̱ mutabani̱ wa Jeela, wʼomu ntu̱la ya Yu̱da, aatwala bimui haa bintu ebili byakuhwelekeelela kandi Mukama aasaaliluwa kwonini na Banai̱saaleeli̱ aba.

Obu baaku̱u̱ki̱ye hambali Yosuwa ali, baamughila bati, “Bantu boona bataghendayo, bhaatu oleke basaasa nga nku̱mi̱ ebili kedha esatu baghende kandi balu̱mbe kibugha kya Aai̱. Otatumayo mahe ghoona kughenda kulwana, nanga bantu baayo mbakee.” 
Nahabweki basaasa nga nku̱mi̱ esatu ku̱lu̱gha mu Banai̱saaleeli̱ baaghenda ku̱lu̱mba kibugha kya Aai̱. Bhaatu basaasa bʼomu kibugha kya Aai̱ baasi̱ngu̱la Banai̱saaleeli̱ aba. 
Basaasa aba baahuma Banai̱saaleeli̱ ku̱lu̱gha haa geeti̱ ya kibugha kyabo kandi baata baasilikale baa Banai̱saaleeli̱ haai maku̱mi̱ asatu na mukaagha. Baabahuma kubakoti̱ya keena kandi baabahi̱ki̱ya Sebbali̱i̱mu̱. Obu Banai̱saaleeli̱ baaghu̱u̱ye eki, mitima yaabakangama munda kandi boobaha.

Niibuwo Yosuwa aaghi̱li̱ye ati, “Ai̱ Mukama Luhanga, waaleki̱ye twabhasuka maasi Yolodaani̱ kutuhaayo mu mikono ya Bamooli̱ ku̱tu̱hwelekeeleli̱ya nangaaki? Kyangubaaye kilungi etu̱we kuukala luhande lweli̱ lwa maasi Yolodaani̱! 
Ai̱ Mukama, buuye mbu̱ghe ki, kubona Banai̱saaleeli̱ mbaaluka ngi̱ghu̱ syabo? 
Banakanaani̱ na bantu abaakaaye mu nsi eni baku̱u̱ghu̱wa eki, baase batweli̱ghi̱i̱li̱li̱ye kandi batu̱hwelekeeleli̱ye munsi. Buuye okukola ki kwoleka bantu ngu li̱i̱na lyawe ndyamaani̱?” 
Mukama aaghila Yosuwa ati, “Oomuke! Olangaaye haali̱i̱so yaawe aku̱mi̱ye hansi nangaaki? 
Banai̱saaleeli̱ baasi̱i̱si̱ye kandi baatu̱wa ndaghaano yanje eghi naabalaghiiye kukwata. Baatwete bimui haa bintu ebili bya kuhwelekeelela. Baabhi̱ye bintu ebi, baabita mu bintu byabo kandi baaha bisubha bati tabali nabiyo. 
Nahabweki bantu baa I̱saaleeli̱ tabakugubha kutodha kulwana na ngi̱ghu̱ syabo. Baalu̱ki̱ye ngi̱ghu̱ syabo nanga Banai̱saaleeli̱ aba ni bantu baa kuhwelekeelela. Tankutodha kuukala naanu ku̱hi̱ki̱ya mu̱hwelekeleei̱ye bintu byona ebi muli nabiyo, ebili bya kuhwelekeelela. 
“Oomuke! Weeli̱ye bantu aba kandi obateekani̱je kwisa mu maaso ghanje. Obaghambile kweteekani̱ja nanga munkiya, si̱ye Mukama Luhanga wa I̱saaleeli̱ nkubbala kubaghila nti, ‘Enu̱we Banai̱saaleeli̱, mu bintu byanu halimu bintu ebi naabalaghiiye ku̱hwelekeeleli̱ya. Tamukutodha kulwana na ngi̱ghu̱ syanu ku̱hi̱ki̱ya mwehiyʼo bintu ebi.’ ” 
“Munkiya nkyambisi mukwisa mu maaso ghaa Mukama ntu̱la haa ntu̱la. Ntu̱la eghi akukomamu na kaluulu ekwisa haai naye kusighikila haa ntu̱la syabo. Ntu̱la eghi Mukama akukomamu ekwisa haai naye kusighikila haa maka ghaabo. Ka eghi Mukama akukomamu basaasa baamu bakwisa haai naye omui haa omui. 
Musaasa oghu bakusanga na bintu ebyabaagha bili bya kuhwelekeelela bamwoki̱ye na mulilo na bintu byona ebi ali nabiyo, nanga aatu̱u̱ye ndaghaano ya Mukama kandi aakola kintu kikuhemula mu I̱saaleeli̱.” 
Nkyambisi cu̱i̱ ya kilo ekyalabhi̱yʼo Yosuwa aaleeta haai Banai̱saaleeli̱ ntu̱la haa ntu̱la, Mukama aakomamu ntu̱la ya Yu̱da. 
Yosuwa aaleeta haai ntu̱la ya Yu̱da kusighikila haa ntu̱la syabo, Mukama aakomamu ntu̱la ya Bajelaahi̱. Du̱mbi̱ aaleeta mu maaso ntu̱la ya Bajelaahi̱ ka haa ka, Mukama aakomamu ka ya Jabbu̱di̱. 
Yosuwa aaleeta haai ka ya Jabbu̱di̱ musaasa omui haa omui, Mukama aakomamu Akaani, mutabani̱ wa Kalami̱, Kalami̱ mutabani̱ wa Jabbu̱di̱, Jabbu̱di̱ mutabani̱ wa Jeela, wʼomu ntu̱la ya Yu̱da. 
Du̱mbi̱ Yosuwa aaghila Akaani ati, “Mutabani̱ wanje, ohe ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa Mukama Luhanga wa I̱saaleeli̱ kandi omusinde. Ongambile endindi eki waakoli̱ye kandi otaki̱mbi̱sa.” 
Akaani aakuukamu Yosuwa ati, “Ni majima! Naasi̱i̱si̱ye ewaa Mukama Luhanga wa I̱saaleeli̱. Kini niikiyo naakoli̱ye: 
mu bintu ebi twahu̱ngi̱ye nkabonamu nkanji̱ esemeeye eghi bakoleeye Sinala, ki̱lo ebili sya siliva na kimui kyakabili kya ki̱lo ya feeja. Bintu ebi byandheedha kandi naabitwala. Bintu ebi bili mu ki̱i̱na mu weema yanje kandi siliva niiyo eli hansi ya biyo.” 
Niibuwo Yosuwa aatu̱mi̱ye batumuwa, baali̱gi̱ta kandi baataaha mu weema ya Akaani, baasangamu bintu ebi abi̱bi̱si̱ye mu weema yee kandi siliva eli hansi yabiyo. 
Baasaasa aba baaya bintu ebi mu weema ya Akaani. Baabileetela Yosuwa na Banai̱saaleeli̱ boona. Baabita byona hansi mu maaso ghaa Mukama. 
Yosuwa na Banai̱saaleeli̱ boona baakwata Akaani mutabani̱ wa Jeela, siliva, nkanji̱, feeja, batabani̱ be, bahala be, nte, ndogooi̱, ntaama, weema yee, na bintu byona ebi aabaagha nabiyo. Baamutwala mu kighona Akooli̱. 
Yosuwa aaghila Akaani ati, “Waatuleeteeye kijibu eki nangaaki? Naawe dhee obwalo Mukama akukuleetela kijibu.” Du̱mbi̱ Banai̱saaleeli̱ baamuhuula mabaale na bantu baa ka yee boona. Booki̱ya mi̱ku̱ yabo na mulilo na bintu byona ebi aabaagha nabiyo. 
Mu̱ku̱ ghwa Akaani baaghutʼo ntuumo yamaani̱ ya mabaale kandi ghanaliyo ku̱hi̱ki̱ya endindi. Du̱mbi̱ Mukama aaleka kusaaliluwa na Banai̱saaleeli̱ aba. Nahabweki ku̱lu̱gha bwile obu ki̱i̱kalo eki baatandika kukighilamu kighona Akooli̱.
