1Yeriko ekaba ekingiirwe kimwe ahabw'okutiina Abaisraeli; tihaine waabaire naashohora n'obu kwakuba okutaaha. 21 MUKAMA yaagambira Yoshua ati: Reeba, nkuhaire Yeriko n'omugabe waayo n'abashaija baayo amamanzi g'amaani. 3Imwe mwena, abashaija abarwani, nimwija kweziguurutsya orurembo omurundi gumwe; mukore mutyo amazooba mukaaga. 42 Kandi abanyamurwa mushanju nibaija kutwara enzamba mushanju z'amahembe g'empaya z'entaama, beebembere eshanduukye y'endagaano; aha izooba rya mushanju muziguurukye orurembo emirundi mushanju, obwo abanyamurwa nibateera enzamba. 5Ku baraateere enzamba y'akasirikiriro n'eihembe ry'empaya y'entaama, naimwe mwahurira eiraka ryayo, abantu boona bateerere hamwe orwari; ahonaaho orugo rw'amabaare rw'orurembo nirwija kukumbagara, rugwe ahansi, buri muntu arutembere ahu araabe yaahika. 6Bwanyima Yoshua mwene Nuuni yaayeta abanyamurwa, yaabagira ati: Muheekye eshanduukye y'endagaano, kandi n'abanyamurwa mushanju batware enzamba mushanju z'amahembe g'empaya z'entaama beebembere eshanduukye ya MUKAMA. 7Kandi yaagambira abantu ati: Mwimukye, muziguurukye orurembo, abaine eby'okurwanisa barabeho beebembere eshanduukye ya MUKAMA.

8Yoshua ku yaaherize kugambira abantu, abanyamurwa mushanju abaabaire baine enzamba mushanju z'amahembe g'empaya z'entaama omu maisho ga Mukama baagyenda omu maisho, nibateera enzamba, eshanduukye y'endagaano ya MUKAMA ebakuratiire. 9Abashaija abaabaire baine eby'okurwanisa baayebembera abanyamurwa abaabaire nibateera enzamba; ab'enyima baakuratira eshanduukye, obwo enzamba zigumiizemu nizigamba. 10Yoshua yaaragiira abantu ati: Mutateera orwari, n'amaraka gaanyu gatahurirwa, kandi hatagira owaateeza, okuhitsya aha izooba eri ndaabaragiirireho kuteera orwari; obwo nibwo muraaruteere. 11Atyo yaaziguurutsya eshanduukye ya MUKAMA orurembo omurundi gumwe; baagaruka omu rusiisira, baaraaramu.

12Bwanyima Yoshua yaaguruka kare omu kasheeshe, abanyamurwa baaheeka eshanduukye ya MUKAMA. 133 N'abanyamurwa mushanju, abaabaire baine enzamba mushanju z'amahembe g'empaya z'entaama beebembeire eshanduukye ya MUKAMA, baarabaho, baagumizamu nibateera enzamba; n'abashaija abaabaire baine eby'okurwanisa baabeebembera, ab'enyima baakuratira eshanduukye ya MUKAMA, obwo enzamba nizigamba. 14N'aha izooba rya kabiri baaziguuruka orurembo omurundi gumwe; baagaruka omu rusiisira rwabo. Baamara ebiro mukaaga nibakora batyo.

15Aha izooba rya mushanju baimuka kare omushekye nigujuguta, baaziguuruka orurembo, nk'oku baabaire nibagira; kwonka aha izooba eryo baaruziguuruka emirundi mushanju. 164 Aha murundi gwa mushanju, abanyamurwa ku baateire enzamba, Yoshua yaagambira abantu ati: Muteere orwari! Ahakuba orurembo MUKAMA yaarubaha. 175 Kandi orurembo n'ebirimu byona nibiija kubiikirwa MUKAMA, kureka Rahabu maraaya na boona abaraashangwe omu nju ye nibo baraakire, ahabw'okuba akashereka entumwa ezi twatumire. 186 Kwonka imwe mwerindire kimwe ekintu kyona ekibiikiirwe MUKAMA; ku muraabe mwabibiikire, hatakaagira owaatwara kimwe aharibyo, akareetera orusiisira rw'Abaisraeli kuhwerekyerera n'okwitwa kubi. 19Kwonka efeeza yoona n'ezaabu, ebintu eby'emiringa n'ebyoma n'ebirikwera ebitooraniirwe MUKAMA; bize omu ibiikiro rye. 207

Ahonaaho abantu baateera orwari, n'enzamba zaateerwa. Abantu ku baahuriire eiraka ry'enzamba, baateera munonga orwari, orugo rwakumbagara, rwagwa ahansi, batyo abantu baarutemberaho, baataaha omu rurembo, omuntu weena ahu yaabaire yaahika, baarukwata. 218 Baacwekyerereza kimwe ekintu kyona ekyabaire kirimu, abashaija n'abakazi, abato n'abakuru, ente n'entaama n'endogoya, baabiitsa rurara.

22Bwanyima Yoshua yaagira abashaija bari ababiri abaatatsire ensi, ati: Mutaahe omu nju ya maraaya, mwihemu ogwo mukazi n'abe boona, nk'oku mwamuraganiise. 239 Batyo abo batsigazi abaatatsire baataahamu, baihamu Rahabu, na ishe, na nyina, na banyaanya n'ebye byona; kandi baihamu n'abu aine nabo obuzaare, baabata aheeru y'orusiisira rw'Abaisraeli. 24Bwanyima baayotsya orurembo n'ebyabaire birimu byona; kwonka efeeza n'ezaabu n'ebintu by'emiringa n'ebyoma baabita omu ibiikiro ery'omu nju ya Mukama. 2510 Kwonka Rahabu maraaya, n'enju ya ishe n'abe boona Yoshua yaabarokora; Rahabu ogwo yaatuura omuri Israeli n'okuhitsya eri izooba, ahakuba akashereka entumwa ezi Yoshua yaatumire kutata Yeriko.

Omu bunaku obu ariba naayombekyeramu omusingi, omwana we w'omujigaijo aryafa; kandi ku ariba naabyara ebiti by'amarembo gaarwo, omwana wa bucuranda aryafa. 2712
