“ ‘Niibuwo naatu̱mi̱yeyo Musa na Alooni̱ kandi naaha bantu baa Mi̱si̱li̱ bifubilo kusighikila haa bintu ebi naabakoli̱yʼo, du̱mbi̱ naayayo enu̱we. 
“ ‘Naayayo baataata baanu kandi mwaki̱dha haa nanja. Banami̱si̱li̱ baahuma baataata baanu bani̱i̱ni̱ye bigaali̱ na banji haa nkai̱na ku̱hi̱ka haa Nanja Mutuku. 
Obu baataata baanu baaneesengeleei̱ye kubakoonela, naatʼo mweli̱ma haagati yaanu na Banami̱si̱li̱ kandi naaleka nanja eghi yaamela Banami̱si̱li̱ aba. Mukabona ebi naakoli̱ye mu nsi ya Mi̱si̱li̱ kandi ngoku mwakaaye mu elungu haabwa bwile bukani̱ye.

Niibuwo Bbalaki̱ mutabani̱ wa Jipola, mukama wa Mowaabu, aatandi̱ki̱ye kulwana na Banai̱saaleeli̱. Aabilikila Bbalaamu mutabani̱ wa Bbeyola kwisa kukiina enu̱we. 
Bhaatu naabhenga ku̱tegheeleli̱ya Bbalaamu oghu. Majima, naaleka aaha enu̱we mu̱gi̱sa kandi naabajuna mukono ghwa Bbalaki̱. 
“ ‘Mwabhasuka maasi Yolodaani̱ kandi mwaki̱dha Yeli̱ko. Beebembeli̱ baa Yeli̱ko na Bamooli̱, Bapeleeji̱, Banakanaani̱, Bahi̱ti̱, Bagi̱li̱gasi̱, Bahi̱vi̱ na Bayebu̱si̱ baalwana naanu. Bhaatu naahaayo bantu aba mu mukono ghwanu. 
Obu mwabaagha mutakaki̱dhi̱ye mu nsi eghi, naatumayo minkebe kandi naabhinga bakama babili baa Bamooli̱. Takyabaaye kihiyo kyanu kedha buta bwanu. 
Naabaha nsi eghi mutaakoli̱yemu kandi bibugha ebi mutaakweye kandi mwakalamu. Mwaliya bi̱ghu̱ma bya mi̱jaabbi̱i̱bbu̱ na bi̱ghu̱ma bya biti oli̱va ebi mutaaheli̱ye.’ 
“Nahabweki mu̱hu̱ti̱ye Mukama kandi mu̱mu̱heeleli̱ye mu majima kandi mu bwesighibuwa. Mwehiyʼo baaluhanga aba baataata baanu baaheeleli̱yagha luhande lweli̱ lwa maasi Efulaati̱ na Mi̱si̱li̱ kandi mu̱heeleli̱ye Mukama. 
Bhaatu nkyabaaye ki̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama, obwalo mukomemu oghu mu̱ku̱heeleli̱ya, balakaba bali baaluhanga aba baataata baanu baaheeleli̱yagha mu kyalo kya luhande lweli̱ lwa maasi Efulaati̱, kedha baaluhanga baa Bamooli̱ aba muukaaye mu nsi yabo. Bhaatu si̱ye na ka yanje tu̱ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama.” 
Bantu aba baakuukamu bati, “Majima tatu̱ku̱lu̱ghʼo Mukama ku̱heeleli̱ya baaluhanga banji, 
nanga Mukama Luhanga waatu niiye akaaya etu̱we na baataata baatu mu nsi ya Mi̱si̱li̱. Aatuuya mu nsi hambali twabaagha basyana. Niiye akakola byakuswekani̱ya byamaani̱ tunaloli̱ye kandi aatulinda mu kihanda hambali twakweme na mu mahanga ghoona agha twasaaliiyemu. 
Mukama aabhinga tunaloli̱ye bantu bʼomu mahanga otaayemu Bamooli̱ abaabaagha baakaaye mu nsi eghi. Nahabweki naatu dhee, tu̱ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama, nanga eye enkaha niiye Luhanga waatu.” 
Bhaatu Yosuwa aaghila bantu aba ati, “Tamukugubha ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama, nanga ni Luhanga ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye. Ni Luhanga wa etima, taakubaghanila bikoluwa byanu bi̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye kedha bibhi byanu. 
Kaakuba mu̱lu̱ghʼo Mukama kandi mu̱heeleli̱ya baaluhanga banji, akubakola kubhi kandi abahwelekeeleli̱ye, haanu̱ma ya kubakolela bintu bilungi.” 
Bantu aba baaghila Yosuwa bati, “Bbaa, tu̱ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama.” 
Yosuwa aabaghila ati, “Enu̱we boonini muli baakai̱so ngoku mwatu̱u̱yemu kukomamu Mukama kandi ku̱mu̱heeleli̱ya.” Baamughila bati, “Ee, tuli baakai̱so.” 
Aaghila ati, “Mwehiyʼo baaluhanga banji aba muli nabo kandi mitima yaanu yeebohelʼo Mukama Luhanga wa I̱saaleeli̱.” 
Bantu aba baaghila Yosuwa bati, “Tu̱ku̱heeleli̱ya Mukama Luhanga waatu kandi tu̱ku̱mu̱hu̱ti̱ya.” 
Kilo eki Yosuwa aakola ndaghaano na bantu aba kandi aabateelʼo ntu̱wamu na bilaghilo obu baabaagha bali Sekeemu. 
Yosuwa aahandiika bighambo ebi mu kitabo kya bilaghilo kya Luhanga. Du̱mbi̱ aakwata ebaale liinamu̱li̱to kandi aalisimba hansi ya ki̱i̱looku̱ ekyabaagha haai na ki̱i̱kalo ki̱hi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye ya Mukama. 
Yosuwa aaghila bantu aba boona ati, “Mulole, ebaale lini likuba kai̱so kubasi̱ngi̱i̱si̱ya musango, nanga lyaghu̱u̱ye bighambo byona ebi Mukama aabu̱ghi̱ye. Nahabweki likuba kai̱so kubasi̱ngi̱i̱si̱ya musango, kaakuba mujeemela Luhanga waanu.” 
Du̱mbi̱ Yosuwa aalagha bantu aba kandi baakuuka mu maka ghaabo. 
Haanu̱ma ya bwile kusaala, Yosuwa mu̱heeleli̱ya wa Mukama kandi mutabani̱ wa Nu̱u̱ni̱ aaku̱wa. Akaba ali na myaka ki̱ku̱mi̱ nʼeku̱mi̱ ya bukulu.
