1 Panyima pa lufu lua Mose muena mudimu wa Yehowa, Yehowa wakambila Yoshua*+ muana wa Nuna, muambuluishi+ wa Mose ne:
2 “Mose muena mudimu wanyi wafu.+ Mpindieu juka, usabuke Yadene, wewe ne tshisamba tshionso etshi, ubuele mu buloba bundi mbapesha bobu, tshisamba tshia Isalele.+
3 Nennupeshe muaba wonso wadiata makasa enu, anu mumvua mulaye Mose.+
4 Buloba buenu nebumbukile ku tshipela too ne ku Lebanona ne ku musulu munene, musulu wa Pelata, (buloba buonso bua bena Hiti+) ne nebuye too ne ku Mbuu Munene* ku ouest.*+
5 Muntu nansha umue kakukokesha mua kukukandamena matuku onso audi ne muoyo to.+ Nengikale nebe anu mumvua ne Mose.+ Tshiakukushiya nkayebe anyi tshiakukulekela to.+
6 Ikala ne dikima ne bukole,+ bualu wewe ke wenza bua tshisamba etshi tshipiane buloba bumvua muditshipe kudi bankambua babu bua kubapesha.+
7 “Kadi ikala anu ne dikima ne bukole bua bungi, utumikile ne muoyo mujima Mikenji yonso ivua muena mudimu wanyi Mose mukutumine dîyi bua kutumikila. Kusesukiku, uya ku dia balume anyi ku dia bakaji,+ bua wenze malu ne meji kuonso kuudi uya.+
8 Mukanda wa Mikenji eu kawumbuki mukana muebe to;+ udi ne bua kuwubala ne dîyi dia panshi panshi* munya ne butuku, bua utumikile ne muoyo mujima malu onso adibu bafundamu;+ bualu dîba adi malu ebe neende bimpe, ne dîba adi newenze malu ne meji.+
9 Tshiena mukutumine dîyi anyi? Ikala ne dikima ne bukole. Kuikadi ne buôwa anyi kutshinyi to, bualu Yehowa Nzambi webe udi nebe kuonso kuudi uya.”+
10 Pashishe Yoshua wakatumina batangidi ba tshisamba dîyi ne:
11 “Pitshilayi munkatshi mua tshitudilu, nuelele bantu mukenji eu ne: ‘Longololayi biakudia, bualu mu matuku asatu emu nenusabuke Yadene bua kubuela ne kuangata buloba budi Yehowa Nzambi wenu unupesha bua buikale buenu.’”+
12 Yoshua wakambila bena Lubena, bena Gada, ne tshitupa tshia tshisa tshia Manashe ne:
13 “Nuvuluke tshivua Mose muena mudimu wa Yehowa munutumine dîyi bua kuenza:+ ‘Yehowa Nzambi wenu udi unupesha dikisha ne mmunupeshe buloba ebu.
14 Bakaji benu, bana benu balela, ne bimuna bienu nebishale mu buloba budi Mose munupeshe dia munemu* dia Yadene,+ kadi nuenu bilobo bia mvita+ bionso nenusabuke kumpala kua bana benu, badilongolole bua mvita.+ Nudi ne bua kubambuluisha
15 too ne padi Yehowa upesha bana benu dikisha, anu mudiye munupeshadi, ne padibu bangata pabu buloba budi Yehowa Nzambi wenu ubapesha. Pashishe nupingane mu buloba buvuabu banupeshe bua kusomba ne nubuangate, buloba buvua Mose muena mudimu wa Yehowa munupeshe ku luseke lua ku est kua Yadene.’”+
16 Bakandamuna Yoshua ne: “Netuenze bionso biudi mututumine dîyi bua kuenza, ne netuye kuonso kuudi ututuma.+
17 Netukuteleje anu mutuvua bateleje malu onso avua Mose muambe. Kadi Yehowa Nzambi webe ikale nebe anu bu muvuaye ne Mose.+
18 Muntu yonso udi utombokela dîyi diebe ne ubenga kutumikila mukenji wonso uudi umuelela neashipibue.+ Kadi wewe ikala anu ne dikima ne bukole.”+
