Ozombara nḓa za ri ozOvahetite nozOvaamori nozOvakanaan nozOvaperesi nozOvahevi nozOvajebusi. 2 Ozo azehe ze rikuta kumwe okurwisa Josua nOvaisrael.
3 Ovature va Gibeon va zuva imbi Josua mbya tjita kOjeriko na Ai, 4 notji ve ripura okumutjita ovineya. Owo va katoora ovikurya nave kutire omakutu nga kurupa kousino wawo, nozondjaṱu zomikova zomavinu nḓa kurupa nu nḓa yatatwa. 5 Nowo va zara ozongaku nḓa kurupa nu nḓa yatatwa, nozombanda nḓa tauka. Ozomboroto nḓu va toora otja onguta za kukuta naze rire outekero. 6 Tji ve ya ku Josua kozondanda za Gilgal va tja nai ku ye na kOvaisrael: “Matu zu kehi rokokure, ngatu rikute kumwe.”
7 Ovaisrael va zira nai kOvahevi: “Matu kutasanene tjike na eṋe? Ngahino mwa tura popezu na eṱe.”
8 Owo va zira ku Josua ave tja: “Oweṱe ovakarere voye.”

9 Owo ve mu zira ave tja: “Eṱe matu zu kehi rokokure, muhona, orondu twa zuva ondangu ya Muhona, Ndjambi woye. Twa raerwa oviṋa avihe eye mbya tjitire mOengipte, 10 na imbi mbya tjita kozombara mbari zOvaamori, munda mbwina na Jordan, okutja oSihon, ombara ya Hesbon, na Og, ombara ya Basan, ndja turire mOastarot. 11 Ovanane vetu novature vehi retu ve tu raera kutja ngatu tooreye ovikurya nu tu yende okukahakaena na wo. Nu ve tu raerere kutja ngatu riwise kehi yeṋu otja ovakarere nu tu mu ningire kutja tu rikute kumwe! 12 Tareye ozomboroto zetu! Tji twa sekama konganda okuhakaena na eṋe, tjandje ozombwa. Nambano tareye, ozo za kukuta, nu za rira outekero. 13 Neṱe tji twe urisa ozondjaṱu zomikova zomavinu nḓa, tjandje ozombe; nambano tareye, ozo za tauka. Nozombanda nozongaku zetu za kurupisiwa i oure wondjira.”
14 Ovaisrael va rora ovikurya mbi, nungwari kave ningirire ondunge ku Muhona. 15 Josua otja tjita ohange nOvagibeon, ne rikutu kuna wo kutja e ve hupise. Novanane wombongo yOvaisrael va tjita oruyano rwomazuvasaneno.
16 Kombunda yomayuva yetatu omazuvasaneno tji ya za nokutjitwa, Ovaisrael otji va zuva kutja ovandu mba, tjiri, va tura popezu na wo. 17 Ovaisrael va kumuka, nu meyuva oritjatatu va kavaza kovihuro vyovandu mba mu va tura, okutja oGibeon na Kefira na Beerot na Kirjat-Jearim. 18 Nungwari Ovaisrael kave ve zepere, ovanane vawo tjinga ava tjita omakwizikiro kovandu mba mena ra Muhona, Ndjambi wa Israel. Ovandu avehe va unaunina ovanane mena rotjiṋa hi. 19 Novanane va zira ave tja: “Eṱe twe ve yanena mena ra Muhona, Ndjambi wa Israel, kutja katu nokuvetjita otjipo. 20 Eṱe matu ve esa ve kare nomuinyo, orondu twa tjita omakwizikiro; nu tji tu hi nokutjita nao, Ndjambi me tu vere.” 21 Ovanane va ryama okuhungira ave tja nai ku wo: “Ve eseye ve hupe. Owo mave tu tyorere ozonguṋe nu mave tu tekere omeva.”
22 Josua wa rakiza ovandu va Gibeon ne ve pura nai: “Okutjavi tji mwe tu wovisa amamu tu raere kutja mwa tura kokure, ngunda nangwari amwa tura mokati ketu? 23 Eṋe tjinga amwa tjita nai, mamu sengwa i Ndjambi. Aruhe mamu rire ovakarere, mbu mamu tyora ozonguṋe nu mbu mamu teke omeva wotjouyapuke tja Ndjambi wandje.”
24 Owo va zira ave tja: “Eṱe twa tjita nao, muhona, tjinga atwa raerwa kutja, tjiri, Muhona, Ndjambi weṋu, wa rakizire komukarere we Moses e mu pe ehi arihe, nokutja a nyone ovandu avehe mba tura mu ro, tji mamu yende amamu ryama. Eṱe twa tjita nao, tjinga aa tu mu tira tjinene, nokutira okuṱa. 25 Nambano tu ri mouvara woye; tjita ku eṱe otja pu movanga.” 26 Komuhingo mbwi Josua otje ve yama kOvaisrael kutja ave ha ṱu. 27 Okuzambo Josua we ve isa po ovakarere vokutyora ozonguṋe nokuteka omeva wombongo nowotjipunguhiro tja Muhona. Owo va kara pokuungura nai nga ku ndinondi poṋa Muhona pa toorora kutja a kumbirwe po.
