Wugwe we likaya lya Yeliko
1Baho malango ge likaya lya Yeliko, gekalaga madindwe, kanyhi galanjililwaga muno muno, ho Waisilayeli walece kwinjila. Kukawa kusina mono yakwinjila hamba kulawila mwi'kaya. 2Muwaha Mulungu yakamulonjela Yoshuwa yakamutya, “Alu neza kukupela likaya lya Yeliko, no mutemi wayo, hamonga ne wasilikale wayo. 3Mulimo wenyu'nye wowa kulipilima likaya du vilo vyose kamonga kamonga mu vilo mutandatu. 4Na mwi'zuwa lyo mupunghati, wakohani mupunghati, wasole munhu ndulele monga ye hembe lya nduwilu, walongolele ku mwande ye Lisanduku lye Cilagane. Nagwe, hamonga ne wasilikale wako, mulipilimaje likaya, sunga kali mupunghati, akuno i wakohani nawo wajendeleye du wakutowa zindulele zawo. 5Ninga mu nghanghulo yo mupunghati, i wakohani watowe zindulele wazozize muno muno, ko mulilo we kweneza. Nanye kolo mukuhulika nhavivyo, ale i wanhu wose, wazozeze hamonga kwe mazi mawaha muno muno, hobaho i majinji ge likaya, gose gogwa hasi lwa kamonga. Nalyo lipuga lyose lye wasilikale, wawe kwinjila mwi'kaya lwa kamonga.”
6Yoshuwa u mwana wa Nuni, yakawacema wakohani wose, yakawatya, “Ale mulidinghule Lisanduku lye Cilagane, na muli nyenye, wayenyu wanji mupunghati, walongole ku mwande ye Lisanduku, akuno wazidinghuye ne zindulele.” 7Hobaho yakawa kuwalajiliza wanhu wakwe, wanze kulipilima likaya. Nawo wono wali wena ne vitwalo vyo wulugu, wakawa walongoleye kumwande ye Lisanduku lye Cilagane.
8Na lono Yoshuwa yali yawalonjela wanze kulipilima likaya; lipuga lye wasilikale wono wali wena vitwalo vyo wulugu, likalongolela kumwande ye wakohani wono watowaga zi ndulele, hanyuma ho wakatyatya i wakohani wono wali walidinghuye Lisanduku lye Cilagane. 9Kanyhi ho wakatyatya wasilikale. Na mu cipango cico cose, zindulele zali zijendeleye zikutowa. 10Ninga Yoshuwa yali yakondya kuwalonjela wanhu walece kuzoza, kanyhi walece kulavya hamba yizi, sunga mweneco yawalonjele. 11Hobaho yakalilonjela lipuga lye wanhu wawa, wajendelele hamonga ne Lisanduku lye Cilagane lyo Muwaha Mulungu walipilime likaya kamonga du. Hanyuma wakawa kuwuya kugona ku nghambi yawo. 12Ne mitondo yaco, Yoshuwa yakelawa kwinuka hakali mitondo muno muno ne wakohani nawo wakalidinghula Lisanduku lye Cilagane lyo Muwaha Mulungu. Na mwi'zuwa lilyo lye kejete, i wakohani ne wasilikale, wakalipilima kanyhi likaya mu wityatye wu wulya du wono wanoza mwi'zuwa lilongozi. Wakalongola i wasilikale wono wena vitwalo vyo wulugu, hanyuma wakatyatya wakohani mupunghati wono watowaga zindulele mupunghati. 13Hanyuma wakatyatya i wakohani wono wali walidinghuye Lisanduku lye Cilagane lyo Muwaha Mulungu, hanyuma ho wakatyatya i wanhu wose. Na mu vipango vivyo vyose, zindulele zajendelelaga kutowa du. 14Na mwi'zuwa lilyo lye kejete, wakalipilima kanyhi likaya kamonga du, wakawuya kugona ku nghambi yawo. Wakanoza nhavivi, vilo mutandatu.
15Mwi'zuwa lyo mupunghati, wakelawa hakali mitondo muno muno. Wakalipilima likaya kali mupunghati. Ne lizuwa lili, lyali lyo lizuwa limonga du, lyono walipilimila likaya kali mupunghati mwizuwa limonga. 16Ne nghanghulo yiyo yo mupunghati, lono i wakohani wali weza kwanza kuzitowa du zindulele, Yoshuwa yakawalonjela wanhu wose wazoze muno muno. Kanyhi yakawatya. “Muwaha Mulungu yakondya kumupelenyi likaya! 17Holeka lu likaya lili, na vyose vyono vili mugati yalyo, yinojeye vyose viticimizwe no moto, ciwe cilavywa kuli Muwaha Mulungu. Langa Lahabu u musenyha, hamonga na vya mu nyumba yakwe, mulece kuwatendela vibi, hambi nha yawahundika i watandizi wetu wono cawatuma. 18Ninga anye, mulecele lukulu kusola cinji co cose cono cinojeye citicimizwe, na hono yunji yejelele du yasole, moleta magayo no wongomele mu nghambi ye Waisilayeli. 19Kanyhi cinhu co cose cono cinozezwe fweza, hamba zahabu, hamba shaba, hamba ca cuma, vivyo, vyelile so Muwaha Mulungu. Vinojeye viwikwe mu viwutwa vyo Muwaha Mulungu.”
20Hobaho i wakohani wakatowa zi ndulele. Nawo wanhu wali weza kuzihulika du zi ndulele, wakazoza muno muno, ne majinji ga Yeliko gakawa kugwa. Lulo lulo lipuga lyose lye wasilikale, likamangha musunho likukola mucanyha ye malowanjila ge majinji. Wakenjila mwi'kaya no kuliteka. 21Wakawawulaga wanhu wose kwe mimaje, walume ne we cicekulu, wadodo ne wakombi sunga ne zimitugo, zingholo ne zindogowe ne zing'ombe.
22Hanyuma Yoshuwa yakawa kuwalonjela wawalya wejete i watandizi, yakawatya, “Alu mwinjile mu nyumba ya Lahabu u musenyha, mumulete mwene hamonga ne wanduguze, nha vyono mwamwihuwiza.” 23Hobaho wakenjila no kumuleta Lahabu kudeha, hamonga no sogwe, no nyina, ne wanduguze wose, wa mu mhuga yakwe. Wakawasola wose, Lahabu ne mhuga yakwe yose, hamonga ne wetumami wawo wose, wakawawika wapolile behi ne nghambi ye Waisilayeli. 24Hanyuma wakawa kulipembela moto likaya, wakaliticimiziza lukulu lyose, hamonga ne vinhu vyose vyono vyali vili mumo. Langa i vinhu vyono vyali vinozezwe zahabu, fweza ne shaba hamonga na vye cuma, avyo wakavisola no kuviwika mu ciwutwa co Muwaha Mulungu. 25Langa Yoshuwa yakamuponya Lahabu u mucekulu musenyha, hamonga ne wanduguze wose, vyono mwene yakawahundika i watandizi wejete, wono mwene Yoshuwa yawatuma ku Yeliko. (No lulelo lwa Lahabu, wanji wakali wasigaye mu yisi ya Isilayeli sunga nalu.)
26Lulo Yoshuwa yakawelahiza, yakawatya,
“Munhu wo wose mono kokwijelela yalizenje kanyhi likaya lya Yeliko,
kowa mulijitwe hali Muwaha Mulungu.
No munhu wo wose mono kokwijelela yawice musinji wayo,
kofwilwa no mwanagwe mulongozi kulelwa.”
No munhu wo wose mono kokwijelela yawicile malango gayo,
kofwilwa no mwanagwe u muziwanda.
27Muwaha Mulungu yakawa hamonga na Yoshuwa. No lukumyo lwa Yoshuwa lukamanyika mu yisi yose.
