Joshuwa 18:1-28
18 Penepapo wumba wose wa Israyeli ukawungana pa Shilo.+ Ŵakajintha chihema chakukumanamo penepara,+ pakuti charu chikathereskeka pamaso pawo.+
2 Kweni pakakhala mafuko 7 gha Ŵaisrayeli agho ghakaŵa kuti ghandapokere chiharo chawo.
3 Ntheura Joshuwa wakati kwa Ŵaisrayeli: “Kasi muziwulikenge m’paka pawuli kuluta na kupoka charu icho Yehova Chiuta wa ŵasekuru ŵinu wamupani?+
4 Pa fuko lililose munipe ŵanalume ŵatatu kuti niŵatume. Ŵalute na kukenda mu charu chose na kuchilemba kuyana na chiharo chawo. Pamasinda ŵizeso kwa ine.
5 Ŵagaŵane vigaŵa 7.+ Yuda wakhalenge mu chigaŵa chake kumwera,+ ndipo ŵa nyumba ya Yosefe ŵakhalenge mu chigaŵa chawo kumpoto.+
6 Kweni imwe, mulembe charu mu vigaŵa 7, na kwiza navyo kwa ine, ndipo nimuchitiraninge mphenduzga+ pamaso pa Yehova Chiuta withu.
7 Ŵalevi ŵalije chigaŵa pakati pinu,+ chifukwa usembe wa Yehova ndiwo chiharo chawo.+ Gadi, Rubeni, na hafu ya fuko la Manase+ ŵali kupokera kale chiharo chawo kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Yorodani, icho Mozesi muteŵeti wa Yehova wakaŵapa.”
8 Ŵanalume ŵara ŵakanozgeka kuluta, ndipo Joshuwa wakalangura awo ŵakalutanga kukalemba charu kuti: “Lutani, mukende mu charu chose na kuchilemba makora, mukizeso kwa ine kuti nimuchitireni mphenduzga pamaso pa Yehova muno mu Shilo.”+
9 Ntheura ŵanalume ŵara ŵakaluta na kwenda mu charu chose, ŵakachilemba mu buku kuyana na misumba mu vigaŵa 7. Pamasinda ŵakiza kwa Joshuwa ku msasa mu Shilo.
10 Ndipo Joshuwa wakaŵachitira mphenduzga mu Shilo pamaso pa Yehova.+ Penepara Joshuwa wakagaŵa charu kwa Ŵaisrayeli kuyana na vigaŵa vyawo.+
11 Mphenduzga yikawira pa fuko la Benjamini kuyana na mbumba zawo, ndipo chigaŵa chawo chikaŵa pakati pa fuko la Yuda+ na fuko la Yosefe.+
12 Kumpoto, mphaka yawo yikambira ku Yorodani, ndipo yikalazga ku chikhizga cha Yeriko+ kumpoto na kukwelera ku phiri kumanjiliro gha dazi, yikalutilira m’paka ku mapopa gha Beti-aveni.+
13 Mphaka yikalutilira kufuma kura m’paka ku Luzi, ku chikhizga cha kumwera kwa Luzi, ndiko kuti, Beteli.+ Ndipo yikakhilira ku Ataroti-ada+ pa phiri ilo lili kumwera kwa Beti-horoni Wakusika.+
14 Mphaka yikalembeka chakumanjiliro gha dazi na kuzingilira kulazga kumwera kufuma ku phiri ilo lathyana na Beti-horoni kumwera, ndipo yikamalira pa Kiriyati-baala, ndiko kuti, Kiriyati-yerimu,+ msumba wa Yuda. Ichi ntchigaŵa cha kumanjiliro gha dazi.
15 Chigaŵa cha kumwera chikambira kuumaliro wa Kiriyati-yerimu, ndipo mphaka yikalazga kumanjiliro gha dazi, yikafika m’paka ku mbwiwi za maji gha Nefutowa.+
16 Mphaka yikakhira kuya kuumaliro wa phiri ilo lathyana na Dambo la Mwana wa Hinomu,+ ilo lili mu Dambo* la Refayimu+ kumpoto, ndipo yikakhira m’paka mu Dambo la Hinomu, kulazga ku chikhizga cha Ŵayebusi+ kumwera, na kumalira ku Eni-rogeli.+
17 Yikalembeka kulazga kumpoto kukafika ku Eni-shemeshi na kukafumira ku Geliloti, kuthyana na chikwezga cha Adumimu,+ ndipo yikakhilira ku libwe+ la Bohani+ mwana wa Rubeni.
18 Kufuma kura, yikalutilira ku chikhizga cha kumpoto kuthyana na Araba na kugodobokera ku Araba.
19 Mphaka yikalutilira ku chikhizga cha kumpoto kwa Beti-hogila,+ ndipo yikamalira pa chinkhodyera* chakumpoto cha Nyanja Yamchere*+ pa chigoti cha kumwera cha Yorodani. Iyi yikaŵa mphaka ya kumwera.
20 Yorodani ndiyo yikaŵa mphaka yake kumafumiro gha dazi. Ichi chikaŵa chiharo cha mphapu ya Benjamini mu mbumba zawo, kuyana na mphaka zawo zingilizge.
21 Misumba ya fuko la Benjamini kuyana na mbumba zawo yikaŵa Yeriko, Beti-hogila, Emeki-kezizi,
22 Beti-araba,+ Zemarayimu, Beteli,+
