Aayamori taa sindwa
1 Adonizedek, omukwaniilwa gwaJerusalem, oku uvu kutya Josua okwa sindi nokuyonagula po Ai thiluthilu nokwa dhipaga omukwaniilwa gwasho, ngaashi naanaa a ningile Jeriko nomukwaniilwa gwasho. Oku uvu wo kutya oshigwana shaGibeon osha panga uukuume nAaisraeli noye li mokati kawo. 2 Aantu yomuJerusalem oya li ya lulilwa kushika, oshoka Gibeon osha li oshilando oshinene shi thike pamwe noshilando kehe shi na omukwaniilwa; osha li shi vule Ai, naalumentu yomuGibeon oya li aakwiita ya pyokoka. 3 Ano Adonizedek okwa tumu elaka komukwaniilwa Hoham gwaHebron, omukwaniilwa Piram gwaJarmut, omukwaniilwa Jafia gwaLakish nomukwaniilwa Debir gwaEglon. Elaka otali ti: 4 “Ileni, mu kwathe ndje okuponokela Gibeon, oshoka osha panga uukuume naJosua nAaisraeli.” 5 Aakwaniilwa mbaka yatano yAayamori, ngoka gwaJerusalem, ngoka gwaHebron, ngoka gwaJarmut, ngoka gwaLakish naangoka gwaEglon, oya hangenene olugodhi, ya kondeke Gibeon e taye shi ponokele.
6 Aalumentu yomuGibeon oya tumu elaka kuJosua kontanda kuGilgal tali ti: “Ino tu ethela, tatekulu! Endelela, u tu kwathe! Tu hupitha! Aakwaniilwa ayehe yAayamori mevi lyokoondundu oya hangenene olugodhi noye tu ponokele.”
7 Onkee Josua okwa zi muGilgal pamwe netangakwiita lye alihe, moka mwa li oofulelela adhihe. 8 Omuwa okwa ti kuJosua: “Ino ya tila. Onde ku pa nale esindano. Kaku na nando ogumwe gwomuyo ta vulu oku ku thikamena.” 9 Uusiku auhe Josua naantu ye oya li mondjila okuza kuGilgal, sigo oGibeon, noya koloka e taa ponokele Aayamori. 10 Omuwa okwa vundakanitha Aayamori, sho ya mono etangakwiita lyAaisraeli. Aaisraeli oye ya dhipaga puGibeon noye ya tidha nondjila yuupitilo waBethoron e taye ya dhipaga, sigo okuAseka naMakkeda kuumbugantu. 11 Manga nee Aayamori ya li taa yi ontuku yetangakwiita lyAaisraeli taa kuluka metaulilo lyaBethoron, Omuwa okwe ya lokithile omamanya omanene goompawe ethimbo alihe, sigo okuAseka. Mboka ya si koompawe, oya li oyendji ye vule mboka ya dhipagwa kAaisraeli.
12 Esiku ndyoka Omuwa a pe Aaisraeli esindano okusinda Aayamori, Josua okwa popi nOmuwa. Okwa popi montaneho yAaisraeli a ti:
“Tango, kankama thilu muGibeon;
Mwedhi, mwena molusilu lwaAjalon.”
13 Etango olya kala lya mwena, nomwedhi inagu inyenga, sigo oshigwana sha sindi aatondi yasho. Shika osha nyolwa mEmbo lyaJashar. Etango olya thikama lya mwena pokati komutenya noinali peguka esiku alihe. 14 Muuyuni wonale nenge mboka wa landula ko inamu kala esiku lya fa ndika, Omuwa sho a vulika komuntu. Omuwa okwa kondjele shili Aaisraeli.
15 Konima yaambika Josua naakwiita ye oya shuna kontanda kuGilgal.
Josua ta kwata aakwaniilwa yatano yAayamori
16 Aakwaniilwa mbeyaka yatano yAayamori oya adhika ya fadhuka po e taa holama mekololo lyaMakkeda. 17 Omuntu gumwe okwe ya mono, naJosua okwa lombwelwa mpoka ya holama. 18 Oye a ti: “Galangatithilii po omamanya gamwe omanene posheelo shekololo. Tulii po wo aalangeli, 19 ihe inamu kala po ne yene. Ka landuleni aatondi, ne mu ya homone tamu zi molutako lwawo. Inamu ya etha, ya ka shune miilando yawo. Omuwa Kalunga keni okwe ye mu sinditha.”
20 Josua naakwiita ye oye ya dhipaga, nando aanelago yamwe ya hupu ngaa, sho ya ka holama moohote dhiilando yawo noinaa dhipagwa. 21 Nena aantu yaJosua ayehe oya galukile kuye kontanda puMakkeda yaa na mbudhi.
Moshilongo kamwa li nando ogumwe ta vulu okwiitakeka Aaisraeli.
22 Nena Josua okwa ti: “Thitululeni osheelo shekololo, ne mu ete aakwaniilwa mboka yatano kungame.” 23 Ekololo olye egululwa, naakwaniilwa gwaJerusalem, gwaHebron, gwaJarmut, gwaLakish nogwaEglon oya kuthwa mo 24 e taa falwa kuJosua. Josua okwi ithanene kuye aalumentu ayehe yaIsrael, e ta lombwele aambala mboka ye ende pamwe naye, ya lyate aakwaniilwa koothingo. Osho ya ningi. 25 Nena Josua okwa ti kaambala: “Inamu tila nenge mu tyololoke. Ikoleleni, ne mu kale nomukumo, oshoka shika osho shoka Omuwa ta ka ninga aatondi yeni ayehe.” 26 Nena Josua okwa dhipaga aakwaniilwa e te ya endjeleleke komiti ntano, nkoka omidhimba dhawo dha kala sigo ongulohi. 27 Peningino lyetango Josua okwa lombwele, omidhimba dhi kuthwe ko dho dhi umbilwe mekololo moka ya li ya holama nale. Omimanya ominene odha tulwa posheelo shekololo noko dhi li natango.
Josua ta tsikile okusinda iilando yAayamori

Ngaashi naanaa ya ningile puLibna, inaa hupitha nando ogumwe, ihe oya dhipaga ayehe moshilando. 33 Omukwaniilwa Horam gwaGeser okwe ya okukwatha Lakish, ihe Josua okwe mu dhenge netangakwiita lye ye ina hupitha nando ogumwe gwomuyo, a kale e na omwenyo.
34 Opo ihe Josua netangakwiita lye oya zi muLakish yu uka kuEglon noye shi kondeke e taye shi ponokele. 35 Oye shi kwata po esiku tuu ndyoka e taa dhipaga omuntu kehe, ngaashi naanaa ya ningile muLakish.
