Otamu ka lemaneka uukambe wawo nokufika po omatemba gawo guukwiita.” 7 Josua naakwiita ye oye ya homona oshikumithi okalonga kaMerom. 8 Omuwa okwa pe Aaisraeli esindano; Aaisraeli oye ya ponokele noye ya tidha sigo oMisrefot Majim naSidon kuumbangalantu nokolusilu lwaMispe kuuzilo.

10 Opo ihe Josua okwa piluka, a kwata po Hazor e ta dhipaga omukwaniilwa gwasho. (Pethimbo ndiyaka Hazor osha li oshilando oshinankondo shi vule ayihe yilwe.) 11 Oya dhipaga ayeheyehe; inapu hupa nando ogumwe, noshilando osha fikwa po.

Okwa ningi ashihe shoka Omuwa a li a lombwele Moses.
Oshitopolwa sha kwatwa po kuJosua
16 Josua okwa lala evi alihe — evi lyokoondundu niikulundundu yoponyonga yadho, kuumbangalantu nokuumbugantu, oshitopolwa ashihe shaGoshen nombinga ihaayi lokwa 17-18 kuumbugantu washo, osho wo olusilu lwaJordan. Oshitopolwa osha li sha taandela okuza kondundu Halak kuumbugantu popepi naEdom, sigo oBaal Gad kuumbangalantu molusilu lwaLibanon kuumbugantu wondundu Hermon. Ethimbo ele Josua okwa li ta kondjitha aakwaniilwa yoshitopolwa shika, ndele okwe ya sindi ayehe e te ya dhipaga. 19 Oshilando shimwe ashike shoka sha panga ombili nAaisraeli, osha li Gibeon, shoka sha kalwa kAahevi.

21 Pethimbo ndiyaka Josua okwa yi e ta thekagula po oludhi lwaalefule halu ithanwa Aayanakim. Oya kala mevi lyokoondundu — muHebron, Debir, Anab nomevi alihe lyokoondundu dhaJuda naIsrael. Josua okwe ya hanagula po sheke niilando yawo. 22 Mevi lyAaisraeli inamu thigala nando Omuanakim gumwe; omandaangela oga kala ngaa muGaza, Gat naAshdod.
23 Josua okwa kwata po evi alihe, ngaashi Omuwa a lombwelele Moses. Josua okwe li pe Aaisraeli, li ninge lyawo nokwe li topola miitopolwa, ezimo kehe oshitopolwa shalyo.
