8 Ni Yehowa kɛɛ Yoshua akɛ: “Kaashe amɛ gbeyei,+ ejaakɛ mikɛ amɛ ewo odɛŋ.+ Amɛteŋ mɔ ko mɔ ko nyɛŋ ohiɛ edamɔ.”+ 9 Yoshua nyiɛ kɛjɛ Gilgal jenamɔ muu fɛɛ, ni ebatutua amɛ trukaa. 10 Yehowa hã amɛjijaa yɛ Israel hiɛ,+ ni amɛgbe amɛteŋ mɛi babaoo yɛ Gibeon, ni amɛnyiɛ amɛsɛɛ kɛtsɔ gbɛ ni atsɔɔ nɔ kɛkwɔɔ kɛyaa Bet-horon lɛ nɔ, ni amɛtswia amɛ nii aahu kɛyashi Azeka kɛ Makeda tɔ̃ɔ. 11 Be ni amɛjoɔ foi yɛ Israel hiɛ ni amɛshɛ Bet-horon shikpelekemɔhe lɛ, Yehowa hã nyɔŋmɔŋtɛi wuji nɛ kɛjɛ ŋwɛi shwie amɛnɔ kɛyashi Azeka tɔ̃ɔ, ni amɛhiɛ kpãtã.

28 Yoshua ye Makeda+ nɔ kunim yɛ nakai gbi lɛ nɔ, ni ekɛ klante kpãtã maŋ lɛ hiɛ. Ekpãtã emli maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛ mɔ fɛɛ mɔ* ni yɔɔ mli lɛ hiɛ, ehãaa mɔ kome folo po ashwɛ ni hiɛ kã.+ Efee Makeda maŋtsɛ+ lɛ tamɔ bɔ ni efee Yeriko maŋtsɛ lɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ.
