Omawiro wa Jeriko
1 Omivero vya Jeriko vya paterwe nu aavi tjeverwa kutja Ovaisrael ave ha yenene okuhita motjihuro. Kape nomundu ngwaa sora okuhita nokupita mu tjo. 2 Muhona wa tja ku Josua: “Tara, ami me yandja Jeriko nombara yatjo novarwe vatjo omapenda mouvara woye. 3 Ove novarwe voye wovita kondorokeye otjihuro hi otjikando tjimwe eyuva arihe oure womayuva hamboumwe. 4 Ovapristeri hambombari, auhe wawo nga toore ohiva ndja ungurwa ponya yondwezu yonḓu, nu ngave kayende komurungu wOtjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe. Nungwari meyuva oritjahambombari kondorokeye otjihuro potuhambombari, novapristeri ngave tone ozohiva. 5 Eṋe tji mwa zuu ovapristeri tji mave posisa ombosiro imwe onde yozohiva, otjiwaṋa ngatji tjite ondavaerero onene, norumbo rwotjihuro otji maru wire pehi, nomurumendu auhe otji ma kayenda osemba okuhita motjihuro.”
6 Josua, omuzandu wa Nun, wa isana ovapristeri na tja ku wo: “Tooreye Otjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe, nu hambombari veṋu ngave kayende momurungu watjo ave nozohiva nḓa ungurwa pozonya zozondwezu zozonḓu.” 7 Neye wa rakiza nai kotjiwaṋa: “Kaendeye! Kondorokeye otjihuro. Ovarwe wovita ngave kawondje momurungu wOtjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe wa Muhona.”
8 Nu Josua punga e ve rakiza, ovapristeri hambombari va ka wondja komurungu wOtjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe wa Muhona amave tono ozohiva zawo. 9 Ovarwe wovita va kayenda komurungu wovapristeri mbaa ve tono ozohiva, novatjevere vokombunda ave kongorere Otjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe. Oruveze aruhe tjandje ozohiva maze posisiwa. 10 Nungwari Josua wa tjaera otjiwaṋa kutja atji ha ravaere poo atji ha tjiti ombosiro nga eye tji meve rakiza okutjita nao. 11 Eye wa hinda ovapristeri nOtjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe wa Muhona ve kakondoroke otjihuro otjikando tjimwe. Okuza ngo owo va kotoka kozondanda nave rara mbo.
12 Mependukirwa Josua wa penduka omuhuka omunene; novapristeri va toora Otjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe wa Muhona. 13 Ovapristeri hambombari, mba ri nozohiva, va kayenda komurungu amave tono ozohiva aruhe. Nu imba ovarwe wovita va ka wondja komurungu wawo, ovatjevere vokombunda ngunda amave kongorere Otjipwikiro tjOmerikutiropamwe wa Muhona. Oruveze aruhe tjandje ozohiva maze posisiwa. 14 Norukwao meyuva oritjavari va kondoroka otjihuro otjikando tjimwe nave kotoka kozondanda. Notji va tjita nao oure womayuva hamboumwe.
15 Nu meyuva oritjahambombari va penduka menyunguhuka nave kondoroka otjihuro potuhambombari momuano otjingewo. Indi onda ri eyuva ariyerike, ndi va kondoroka otjihuro potuhambombari. 16 Nu mokukondoroka otjikando hi otjitjahambombari ovapristeri otji va tona ozohiva, nu Josua otja rakiza kotjiwaṋa ama tja: “Toneye ombimbi! Orondu Muhona me mu pe otjihuro hi! 17 Otjihuro na atjihe tji tji ri mu tjo ngavi yandekwe oparukaze vi rire ombunguhiro ku Muhona. Posi yaingwi omukorondu Rahab erike nonganda ye ombu mave yamwa, orondu eye wa ṱarisire ozohoze zetu. 18 Nungwari eṋe rikarekeye kokure naimbi mbi mavi nyonwa. Tji mwa toora tjimwe tjaimbi mbi mavi nyonwa, mamu eta oumba nonyonokero kozondanda zOvaisrael. 19 Notjiṋa atjihe tji tja ungurwa posilveri nongoldo nongoporo notjitenda matji pwikirwa Muhona. Novyo ngavi tuwe motjipwikiro tjovihuze vya Muhona.”
20 Komuhingo mbwi ovapristeri va tona ozohiva. Nu kamanga otjiwaṋa tji tje ze zuva otji tja tona ombimbi, norumbo rwotjihuro arire tji rwa wire pehi. Notjiwaṋa atjihe tja ka wondja osemba okuhita motjihuro natji tji huura. 21 Nowo va zepa omundu ngamwa auhe motjihuro ho nomangaruvyo wawo, omurumendu nomukazendu nomutanda nomukurundu. Wina va zepa ozongombe nozonḓu nousino.
22 Nu Josua wa raera kovarumendu vevari mba, mba ri ozohoze, a tja: “Hiteye mondjuwo yomukorondu, nu mu pitise omukazendu ngo nomuhoko we pendje otja tji mwa kwizikire ku ye.” 23 Nowo arire tji va kapitisa Rahab puna ihe na ina novaṱena nomuhoko we auhe. Owo va toora avehe, eṱunḓu novakarere, nave ve twara pendje yozondanda zOvaisrael. 24 Tjazumba va hwika otjihuro noviṋa avihe mbya ri mu tjo posi yoviṋa mbya ungurwa pongoldo nosilveri nongoporo notjitenda ombi va toora nave vi twa motjipwikiro tjovihuze vyondjuwo ya Muhona. 25 Nungwari Josua wa yama omuinyo womukorondu Rahab novyovazamumwe ve avehe, orondu Rahab tja ṱarisire ovahindwa, mba tuminwe i Josua kutja ve kahore Jeriko. Ozondekurona ze za tura mOisrael nga ku ndinondi.
26 Moruveze ndo Josua wa yanisa otjiwaṋa nomambo nga: “Auhe ngu ma kondjo okutungurura Jeriko ma sengwa i Muhona.
Ngu ma ziki ewe romazikameno watjo ma zepaisa omuzandu everi re;
nu ngu ma tungu omivero vyatjo ma zepaisa ongero ye.”
27 Muhona otja kara puna Josua, nondangu ya Josua ya tandavara mehi arihe.
Jeriko tashi hanaunwa po
1 Ndelenee Jeriko osha idila po oshivelo ndele sha kala sha idilwa molwovana vaIsrael. Inamu pita nande omunhu ndele inamu ya nande omunhu. 2 Opo nee Omwene okwa lombwela Josua ndele ta ti: “Tala, Ame ohandi yandje Jeriko pamwe nohamba yasho novakwanyati meke loye. 3 Nye ovakwaita amushe, omu nokudingilila oshilando. Oshilando shi dingilileni lumwe. Osho ngaha mu nokuninga omafiku ahamano.Nye ovakwaita omu na okudingilila oshilando efiku keshe omafiku ahamano. 4 Novapristeli vaheyali ve nokuhumbata omanghuma aheyali eembinga deedi deemhedi komesho yoshikefa. Ndelenee efiku etiheyali nye mu nokudingilila oshilando luheyali. Novapristeli ve nokushika omanghuma. 5 Ndele vo ngeenge tava shiki omanghuma eembinga deedi deemhedi mokutwaalela, nye ngeenge tamu udu ondaka yomanghuma, ovanhu aveshe ve nokuyelula ondaka nokwiingida pombada. Opo nee ohotekuma yoshilando tai ka ngumauka po monhele yayo. Novanhu ve nokutotela mo, keshe umwe ta yukilile.” 6 Opo nee Josua yaNun okwa ifana ovapristeli ndele okwe va lombwela ta ti: “Kufeni oshikefa shehangano, novapristeli vaheyali nava humbate omanghuma aheyali eembinga deedi deemhedi komesho yoshikefa shOmwene.” 7 Ndele okwa lombwela ovanhu: “Indeni mu ka dingilile oshilando. Ndelenee ava va ve nokutetekela oshikefa shOmwene.” 8 Opa ningwa, Josua eshi a lombwela ovanhu, ovapristeli vaheyali va humbata omanghuma aheyali eembinga deedi deemhedi ova enda koshipala shOmwene ndele va shika omanghuma, fimbo oshikefa shehangano lOmwene she va shikula. 9 Ovakwaita ova enda yo komesho yovapristeli ava va shika omanghuma, fimbo ongudu yovanhu ya enda konima yoshikefa, ndele omanghuma a shikwa efimbo alishe. 10 Ndele Josua okwa lombwela ovanhu ndele ta ti: “Nye inamu ingida ile ondaka yeni iha udike, nondjovo nande imwe iha pite mo mokanya keni fiyo efiku tuu olo ame handi mu lombwele: Ingideni! Opo nee tamu ingida. 11 Ndele ve nokudingililifa oshikefa shOmwene oshilando lumwe.” Opo nee va shuna monhanda, nomo va nangala. 12 Ndele Josua okwa meneka novapristeli va humbata oshikefa shOmwene. 13 Novapristeli vaheyali ava va humbata omanghuma aheyali eembinga deedi deemhedi ova enda komesho yoshikefa shOmwene efimbo alishe ndele va shika omanghuma fimbo ovakwaita va enda komesho yavo. Nongudu yovanhu oya enda konima yoshikefa shOmwene, fimbo omanghuma a shikwa efimbo alishe. 14 Osho ngaha va dingilila oshilando lumwe mefiku etivali. Opo nee va shuna monhanda. Osho ngaha va ninga momafiku ahamano. 15 Ndelenee mefiku etiheyali ova meneka, eluwa eshi tali tende, ndele va dingilila oshilando panghedi tuu ei luheyali. Mefiku olo tuu alike va dingilila oshilando luheyali. 16 Novapristeli eshi va shika omanghuma olutiheyali, Josua okwa lombwela ovanhu: “Ingideni! Osheshi Omwene ta yandje oshilando momake eni. 17 Ndelenee oshilando naashishe shi li mo, shi nokuninga omundiloyambo kOmwene. Rahab, ombwada, ye aeke na xupe, ye pamwe naaveshe ava ve li puye mongulu yaye, osheshi oye okwa holeka eendadi twe di tuma ko. 18 Ndelenee lungameni shili mu kukume eshi sha yapulilwa ehanauno, muha hangike ketulomutima, ngeenge tamu kufa sha shomoinima ya yapulilwa okuhanaunwa po, nena otamu twala onhanda yaIsrael koshi yetulomutima ndele tamu i etele omupya. 19 Ndelenee oshisiliveli ashishe noshingoldo noinima yoshikushu noyoshivela, oya yapulilwa Omwene, nai tulwe memona lOmwene.” 20 Opo nee ovanhu va ingida unene ndele va shika omanghuma. Oshiwana eshi sha uda ondaka yenghuma, osha lokosha pombada. Nohotekuma ya ngumauka po monhele yayo, ndele ovanhu va londa va ya moshilando, keshe umwe a yukilila, ndele va nangala oshilando. 21 Naashishe eshi sha li moshilando, ove shi dipaa neongamukonda, omulumenhu nomukainhu, omunyasha nomukulunhu fiyo okongobe nodi nondongi.
Rahab neumbo laye tava xupifwa
22 Ndele Josua okwa lombwela ovalumenhu venya vavali va lavele oshilongo ta ti: “Indeni meumbo lombwada ndele pitifeni mo omukainhu naaveshe ava ve li puye, ngaashi mwe mu anena.” 23 Ovalumenhu ovanyasha, eendadi, ova ya mo, ndele va pitifa mo Rahab naxe naina novamwaina naaveshe va li puye, novakwapata vaye aveshe ove va pitifa mo ndele ve va kaleka pondje yonhanda yaIsrael. 24 Noshilando naashishe sha li mo ve shi xwika po nomundilo. Oshisiliveli ashike noshingoldo noinima yoshikushu noyoshivela ve i weda kemona lOmwene. 25 Ndelenee Josua okwa efa Rahab neumbo laye naaveshe va li puye va kale nomwenyo. Opo ye a kala mokati kaIsrael fiyo onena eli, shaashi okwa holeka eendadi dinya da tuminwe kuJosua okulava Jeriko. 26 Mefimbo tuu olo Josua okwa anifa eano neendjovo edi: “Na fingwe koshipala shOmwene omulumenhu ou ta ka hovela okutungulula oshilando eshi shaJeriko.
Mokutunga kwaye ekanghameno
oshiveli shaye nashi fye
ndele mokutula mo oivelo
onghelo nai fye.”
27 NOmwene okwa li pamwe naJosua. Netumbalo laye ola ya nedu alishe.
