13Yoshua ku yaabaire ari haihi na Yeriko, yaimutsya amaisho, yaareeba omushaija amwemereire omu maisho, aine rurara esyoirweyo omu mukono gwe. Yoshua yaamuhikaho, yaamubuuza ati: Ori ow'orubaju rwaitu, nari orw'abazigu?14Yaamugarukamu ati: Ngaaha! Kureka naija kuba omukuru w'eihe rya MUKAMA. Yoshua yaagwa ahansi, yaajuumara, yaamuramya, yaamubuuza ati: Mukama wangye, nooragiira ki omwiru waawe?15Omukuru w'eihe rya MUKAMA yaagira Yoshua ati: Iha enkaito omu bigyere byawe; ahakuba omwanya ogu oyemereiremu n'ogurikwera.
