² Yoswa anati kwa anthu onse, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Kalekale makolo anu, kuphatikiza Tera, abambo a Abrahamu ndi Nahori ankakhala kutsidya kwa Mtsinje ndipo ankapembedza milungu ina. ³ Koma ine ndinatenga kholo lanu Abrahamu kumuchotsa ku dziko la kutsidya kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate ndipo ndinamutsogolera kupita ku dziko la Kanaani. Ndinamupatsa zidzukulu zambiri. Ndinamupatsa Isake, ⁴ ndipo Isake ndinamupatsa Yakobo ndi Esau. Ndinapereka dziko la mapiri la Seiri kwa Esau, koma Yakobo ndi ana ake anapita ku Igupto.

⁵ “ ‘Kenaka ndinatuma Mose ndi Aaroni, ndipo ine ndinazunza Aigupto. Pambuyo pake ndinakutulutsani. ⁶ Nditatulutsa makolo anu ku Igupto ndinafika nawo ku Nyanja Yofiira. Aigupto anawathamangira ndi magaleta ndi okwera pa akavalo mpaka ku Nyanja Yofiira. ⁷ Tsono makolo anuwo anapemphera kwa Ine kuti ndiwathandize, ndipo ndinayika mtambo wakuda pakati pawo ndi Aiguptowo, ndipo Nyanja inamiza Aigupto aja. Inu munaona ndi maso anu zimene ndinachita kwa Aiguptowo ndipo inu munakhala mʼchipululu nthawi yayitali.

⁸ “ ‘Pambuyo pake Ine ndinabwera nanu ku dziko la Aamori amene amakhala kummawa kwa Yorodani. Iwo anamenyana nanu koma ndinawapereka mʼdzanja lanu. Ndinawawononga pamaso panu, ndipo inu munalanda dziko lawo. ⁹ Balaki mwana wa Zipori, mfumu ya Mowabu, analimbana ndi Israeli. Iye anayitanitsa Balaamu mwana wa Beori kuti akutemberereni. ¹⁰ Koma ine sindinamvere Balaamu, kotero iye anakudalitsani mowirikiza ndipo ndinakulanditsani mʼdzanja lake.

¹¹ “ ‘Ndipo inu munawoloka Yorodani ndi kufika ku Yeriko. Anthu a ku Yeriko analimbana nanu pamodzi ndi Aamori, Aperezi, Akanaani, Ahiti, Agirigasi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi. Koma Ine ndinawapereka mʼdzanja lanu. ¹² Ine ndinatumiza mavu amene anapirikitsa mafumu awiri Aamori aja pamaso panu. Inu simunachite izi ndi lupanga ndi uta wanu. ¹³ Motero ndinakupatsani dziko limene simunalivutikire ndiponso mizinda imene simunamange. Inu mukukhala mʼmenemo ndi kumadya zipatso za mʼmunda wamphesa ndi kuthyola zipatso mʼmitengo ya olivi zimene simunadzale.’

¹⁴ “Ndipo tsopano wopani Yehova ndi kumutumikira Iye mokhulupirika ndi moona. Chotsani milungu imene makolo anu ankapembedza kutsidya kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate ndi ku Igupto ndipo tumikirani Yehova. ¹⁵ Koma ngati kutumikira Yehova kukuyipirani, sankhani lero amene mudzamutumikire, kapena milungu imene makolo anu ankayitumikira kutsidya kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate, kapena milungu ya Aamori, amene mukukhala mʼdziko lawo. Koma ine ndi banja langa, tidzatumikira Yehova.”

¹⁶ Ndipo anthu anayankha, “Sizingatheke kuti timusiye Yehova ndi kutumikira milungu ina! ¹⁷ Yehova Mulungu wathu ndiye amene anatitulutsa ife ndi makolo athu mu ukapolo, mʼdziko la Igupto. Tinaona ndi maso athu zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene anachita. Iye anatiteteza pa ulendo wathu wonse ndi pakati pa mitundu yonse imene tinkakumana nayo. ¹⁸ Ife tikufika Iye anapirikitsa anthu onse pamodzi ndi Aamori amene ankakhala mʼdzikoli. Ifenso tidzatumikira Yehova chifukwa Iye ndiye Mulungu.”

¹⁹ Koma Yoswa anati kwa anthuwo, “Inutu simungathe kutumikira Yehova. Iye ndi Mulungu woyera, salola kupikisana naye. Sadzakukhululukirani ngati mumuwukira ndi kumuchimwira. ²⁰ Ngati inu musiya Yehova ndi kutumikira milungu yachilendo, adzakufulatirani. Iye adzakulangani ndi kukuwonongani ngakhale kuti poyamba anakuchitirani zabwino.”

²¹ Koma anthuwo anati kwa Yoswa, “Ayi! Ife tidzatumikira Yehova.”

²² Kenaka Yoswa anati, “Inu mukudzichitira nokha umboni kuti mwasankha kutumikira Yehova.”

Iwo anayankha kuti, “Inde ife ndife mboni.”

²³ Yoswa anati, “Tsono chotsani milungu yachilendo imene ili pakati panu ndipo perekani mitima yanu kwa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.”

²⁴ Ndipo anthuwo anati kwa Yoswa, “Ife tidzatumikira Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi kumvera Iye.”

²⁵ Choncho pa tsiku limenelo Yoswa anachita pangano mʼmalo mwa anthuwo, ndipo pa Sekemu pomwepo iye anapereka malamulo ndi malangizo kwa anthu aja. ²⁶ Ndipo Yoswa analemba zinthu izi mʼbuku la malamulo a Mulungu. Kenaka iye anatenga mwala waukulu nawuyimika pansi pa mtengo wa thundu pa malo wopatulika a Yehova.

²⁷ Yoswa anati kwa anthu onse, “Tamvani! Mwala uwu udzakhala mboni yotitsutsa. Mwalawu wamva mawu onse amene Yehova wayankhula kwa ife. Udzakhala mboni yotitsutsa ngati mukhala osakhulupirika kwa Mulungu wanu.”

Kumwalira kwa Yoswa ndi Eliezara

²⁸ Kenaka Yoswa analola anthu kuti apite, aliyense ku dera lake.

²⁹ Zitatha zinthu izi, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, mtumiki wa Yehova, anamwalira ali ndi zaka 110, ³⁰ ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda mʼdziko lake, ku Timnati-Sera dziko lamapiri la ku Efereimu, kumpoto kwa phiri la Gaasi.

Pakuti aliyense okhala mu Yerusalemu akudziwa kuti achita chodabwitsachi, ndipo ife sitingathe kukana. ¹⁷ Koma kuti mbiriyi isapitirire kuwanda pakati pa anthu, ife tiwachenjeze anthu amenewa kuti asayankhulenso kwa wina aliyense mʼdzina la Yesu.”
