Aagibeon taa kotokele Josua
1 Omasindano gaIsrael oga tseyika kaakwaniilwa ayehe ya li kuuninginino waJordan — koondundu, kiikulundundu yoponyonga yadho nokombinga ayihe yomunkulo gwEfuta lyopokati, sigo okuLibanon kuumbangalantu. Mbaka oyo aakwaniilwa Aaheti, Aayamori, Aakaanana, Aaperesi, Aahevi nAayebusi. 2 Oya gongala kumwe, ya hangane okukondjitha Josua nAaisraeli.
3 Ihe aantu yomuGibeon, mboka ya li Aahevi, sho yu uvu, Josua nkene a ningile Jeriko naAi, 4 oya tokola, ye mu kotokele. Oya yi niikulya yimwe ye yi londeke kuusino nomahahi omakulu noompunda dhomaviinu dha andekwa. 5 Oya zala oonguwo dha kulupa noongaku oonkulu dha andekwa. Iikwiila yawo oya li ya kukuta noyi na oshushi. 6 Oya yi kontanda kuGilgal taa ti kuJosua nokaalumentu yaIsrael: “Otwa zi koshilongo shokokule; otwa hala, mu ninge euvaneno natse.”
7 Ihe aalumentu Aaisraeli oya ti: “Omolwashike tu na okuninga euvaneno nane? Mwa fa ngaa mu li popepi mpoka.”
8 Oyo ya ti kuJosua: “Tse aapiya yoye.”
Josua okwe ya pula: “One oolye notamu zi peni?”
9 Oyo ye mu hokololele ya ti: “Otatu zi kevi lyokokule, tatekulu, oshoka otwa kundana Omuwa Kalunga keni. Otu uvu ayihe mbyoka a ningi muEgipiti. 10 Naashoka a ningile aakwaniilwa yaali yAayamori kuuzilo waJordan: omukwaniilwa Sihon gwaHeshbon nomukwaniilwa Og gwaBaasha, mboka ya kala muAshtarot. 11 Aawiliki yetu naantu ayehe moshilongo shetu oye tu lombwele, tu kuthe iikulya yimwe, tu idhenge mondjila, tu ye tu ku tsakaneke. Otwa lombwelwa, tu ninge aayakuli yoye noku ku pula, u ninge euvaneno natse. 12 Tala kiikwiila yetu. Sho twa zi kegumbo, tu ye tu ku tsakaneke, oya li ya pupyala. Ihe yi tala ngashingeyi! Oya kukuta noyi na oshushi. 13 Sho tu udha oompunda ndhika dhomaviinu, odha li oompe, ihe ngashingeyi odha kulupa. Oonguwo dhetu noongaku dhetu odha kulupile mondjila onde.”
14 Aalumentu Aaisraeli oya taamba kuyo iikulya yimwe, ihe inaa pula nando omayele kOmuwa moshinima shika. 15 Josua okwa ningi euvaneno lyombili naantu yomuGibeon e te ya pitika, ya kale ye na omwenyo. Aawiliki yAaisraeli oye shi koleke nokugana.
16 Omasiku gatatu sho ga piti po okuza keuvaneno, Aaisraeli oya koneke kutya nani aantu mbaka oya zi popepi. 17 Onkee Aaisraeli oya thikama nokonima yomasiku gatatu oya thiki kiilando yawo: Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot naKiriat Jearim. 18 Ihe Aaisraeli inaye ya dhipaga, oshoka aawiliki oya adhika ya ninga naantu mbaka euvaneko lyokwakola medhina lyOmuwa, Kalunga kaIsrael. Aantu ayehe oye shi nyenyetele kaawiliki, 19 ihe mbaka oya yamukula: “Otse twe ya pe euvaneko lyokwakola medhina lyOmuwa Kalunga kaIsrael. Onkee itatu vulu oku ya ninga nayi. 20 Otu na oku ya etha, ya kale ye na omwenyo omolweuvaneko lyetu; ngele itatu shi ningi, nena Kalunga ote tu geele. 21 Naa kale ye na omwenyo, ihe oye na okutyaya iikuni noku tu tekela omeya.” Osho aawiliki ya tokola omolwawo.
22 Josua okwi ithanitha aantu yomuGibeon, ye ye kuye, nokwe ya pula: “Omolwashike tamu tu kotokele noku tu lombwela kutya omwa zi kokule, nando omu li popepi natse? 23 Molwashoka mwa ningi ngeyi, Kalunga okwe mu tokola. Oshigwana sheni otashi ka kala aluhe oshipika, aatyayi yiikuni naateki yomeya gomotempeli yaKalunga kandje.”
24 Oya yamukula ya ti: “Shika otwe shi ningi, tatekulu, oshoka otu uvile kutya Omuwa Kalunga koye okwa li a lombwele omumati gwe Moses, e mu pe evi ndika alihe nokudhipaga aantu ayehe mondjila yeni. Otwe shi ningi, oshoka otwa li twe mu tila nokutya otamu tu dhipaga. 25 Ngashingeyi otu li miikaha yoye; tu ninga shoka she ku opalela noshu uka.” 26 Josua osho a ningi. Okwe ya gamene noina zimina, Aaisraeli ye ya dhipage. 27 Ihe okwe ya ningi aapika yokutyaya iikuni nokuteka omeya gAaisraeli nogoshiyambelo shOmuwa. Sigo ongashingeyi oya tsikile okulonga mbika meha ndyoka Omuwa a hogolola, a simanekelwe mo.
