Ariko mugendere nko ku ngero z’igice c’ukuboko ibihumbi bibiri inyuma yabo, ntimuze muyegere.”5Yosuwa abarira abantu ati: “Mwiyeze kuko ejo Uhoraho azokora ibitangaza bikomeye muri mwebwe.”6Yosuwa yongera abarira abaherezi ati: “Fata Isandugu y’Isezerano muje imbere y’abandi mu kujabuka.” Nuko baterura iyo Sandugu, baja imbere baragenda.7Uhoraho abarira Yosuwa ati: “Uyu musi ngira ntangure kugushira hejuru imbere y’Abisirayeli, kugira ngo bamenye ko ndi kumwe nawe nk’uko nari kumwe na Mose.8Barira abaherezi bareruye Isandugu y’Isezerano uti: ‘Nimwashika ku nkengera y’uruzi Yorodani, muce murutambukiramwo muruhagararemwo.’ ”9Yosuwa abwira Abisirayeli ati: “Egera hino mwumvirize amajambo y’Uhoraho Imana yanyu.10Iki ni co kizobamenyesha ko Imana nzima iri muri mwebwe, kandi ko izokwirukana imbere yanyu Abanyakanani, Abaheti, Abahiwi, Abaperizi, Abagirugashi, Abamori n’Abayebusi.11Raba Isandugu y’Isezerano y’Uhoraho nyene isi yose igiye kuri Yorodani imbere yanyu.12None rero, nimutoranye abagabo icumi na babiri mu miryango y’Abisirayeli, umwumwe mu muryango.13Abaherezi bareruye Isandugu y’Isezerano y’Uhoraho nyene isi yose nibamara guhonyoza ibirenge muri Yorodani, ruzocikamwo kabiri, amazi ntasubire gutemba, ahagarare nk’uruhome.”14Nuko abantu bose bamaze kuzinga amahema yabo kugira ngo bajabuke Yorodani, abaherezi baca barerura Isandugu y’Isezerano, babaja imbere.15Ico gihe hari mu gihe c’iyimbura, kandi Yorodani rwari rwarengeye inkombe zarwo. Ariko ba baherezi bari bareruye Isandugu y’Isezerano bamaze guhonyoza ibirenge mu mazi yo ku nkengera y’urwo ruzi,16amazi yo haruguru aca arahagarara ntiyasubira gutemba.

Nuko abantu baca barajabuka hakurya bashika ahegereye Yeriko.17Ico gihe abaherezi bari bareruye Isandugu y’Isezerano y’Uhoraho bari bahagaze bemye kw’isi yumye hagati muri Yorodani, Abisirayeli na bo bariko barajabuka gushika ihanga ryose rijabutse rica kw’isi yumutse.Biblica, Inc.
