Njodzi namatambudziko mazhinji zvichavawira uye pazuva iro vachabvunza vachiti, ‘Ko, hatina kuwirwa nenjodzi idzi nokuti Mwari wedu haasi pakati pedu here?’ 18 Zvino ndichaviga chiso changu zvirokwazvo nezuva iro nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavo zvose zvokutsaukira kuna vamwe vamwari.

Ini ndinoziva zvavachazoita, kunyange ndisati ndavauyisa munyika yandakavavimbisa nemhiko.” 22 Saka Mozisi akanyora rwiyo urwu nomusi uyu uye akarudzidzisa kuvaIsraeri.

23 Jehovha akapa murayiro uyu kuna Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akati, “Simba utsunge mwoyo, nokuti uchauyisa vaIsraeri munyika yandakavavimbisa nemhiko, uye ini pachangu ndichava newe.”

24 Mushure mokunge Mozisi apedza kunyora mubhuku mashoko omurayiro uyu kubva pokutanga kusvikira pokupedzisira, 25 akapa murayiro uyu kuvaRevhi vaitakura areka yesungano yaJehovha achiti, 26 “Torai Bhuku iri roMurayiro muriise parutivi peareka yesungano yaJehovha Mwari wenyu.
