6 “Yahova Mulungu wathu atipanga ku Orebhi: ‘Mwakhala ntsiku zizinji mucisa cino ca mapiri.+ 7 Khunganyikani toera muende kucisa ca Aamori+ ku mapiri kukhundu ya anthu anakhala cifupi na iwo kucisa ca mapiri a ku Arabha,+ ku Sefela, ku Nejebhu, nʼkhundu mwa bara,+ ku dziko ya Akanani na ku Libhano*+ mpaka ku nkulo ukulu, wakuti ndi nkulo wa Eufrate.+ 8 Onani, ine ndiri kukupasani dziko iri patsogolo panu. Pitani mwenemu toera mukwate dziko ineyi idadumbira Yahova kuti mbadaipasa ambuyanu, Abhrahamu, Izaki,+ Yakobe+ na dzindza* yawo.’+

9 “Pa ndzidzi unoyu ine ndakupangani: ‘Nee ndinakwanisa kukutsogolerani ndekhene.+ 10 Yahova Mulungu wanu akunjipisani, lero ndimwe azinji kakamwe ninga nyenyezi zakudzulu.+ 11 Yahova Mulungu wa ambuyanu mbakunjipiseni kakamwe+ kupiringana cincino, pontho mbakupaseni nkhombo ninga mudapikira iye kuna imwe.+ 12 Mphapo ndinakwanisa tani kutsalakana ndekhene mikandzo yanu na kulongezana kwanu?*+ 13 Sankhulani amuna audziwisi, andzeru na aluso mʼmadzindza mwanu, ine ndinadzaakhazikisa toera akhale atsogoleri anu.’+ 14 Imwe mwatawira: ‘Pidatipanga imwe mphyadidi.’ 15 Natenepa ndakwata atsogoleri a madzindza anu, akuti ndi amuna audziwisi na aluso mbandiakhazikisa ninga atsogoleri anu a misoka ya anthu 1.000, atsogoleri a anthu 100, atsogoleri a anthu 50 na atsogoleri a anthu khumi, na akulu a madzindza anu.+

16 “Pa ndzidzi unoyu, ine ndapanga anyakutonga miseru pakati panu: ‘Anthu angakhala na nseru pakati pa mbumba, angabwera kudzasuma kuna imwe, musafunika kutonga mwakulungama+ nseru wa anthu anewa, mwakukhonda tsalakana khala ndi Aizraeli awiri peno Muizraeli na munthu wakunja anakhala pakati panu.+ 17 Lekani kutonga mwakukhonda kulungama.+ Munthu wangʼono musafunika kumbvesera sawasawa ninga munabvesera imwe munthu wankulu.+ Nee musafunika kugopa anthu,+ thangwi mu ndzidzi unatonga imwe muli kuimirira Mulungu;+ khala nseru ndi wakunentsa kakamwe kuna imwe, musafunika kuubweresa kuna ine, penepo ine ndinadzaubvesera.’+ 18 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, ine ndakupasani pitsogolero pya pinthu pyonsene pikhafunika imwe kucita.

19 “Penepo ife tabuluka ku Orebhi mbatipita na nʼthando+ ineyi ikulu na yakugopswa idaona imwe nʼnjira yakuenda kucisa ca mapiri a Aamori+ ninga mudatipanga Yahova Mulungu wathu. Pakumalisa, ife tafika ku Kadhesi-Bharneya.+ 20 Penepo ine ndakupangani: ‘Cincino imwe mwafika kucisa ca mapiri a Aamori, cinafuna kutipasa Yahova Mulungu wathu. 21 Onani, Yahova Mulungu wanu akupasani dziko ineyi. Ndokoni toera mukwate dziko ineyi mwakubverana na pidakupangani Yahova Mulungu wa ambuyanu.+ Lekani kugopa peno kutetemera.’*

22 “Mbwenye imwe mwabwera kuna ine mbamulonga: ‘Mbatitumizeni amuna patsogolo pathu toera aende kaona dziko ineyi, atibweresere mphangwa za njira inafuna kupita na ife, pontho atipange ntundu wa mizinda inafuna kugumana ife kweneko.’+ 23 Ine ndaona kuti pidalonga imwe mphyadidi, natenepa ndasankhula amuna 12, mʼbodzi mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi.+ 24 Iwo abuluka mbaenda kucisa ca mapiri,+ afika ku Gowa* ya Eskole mbaona dziko ineyi. 25 Iwo akwata misapo mingasi ya dziko ineyi mbabwera nayo. Pontho iwo atibweresera mphangwa, mbalonga: ‘Dziko inafuna kutipasa Yahova Mulungu ndi yadidi.’+ 26 Mbwenye imwe mwakhonda kuendako, mbamupokanya pidalonga Yahova Mulungu wanu.+ 27 Imwe mukhadungunya mʼmisasa yanu, pontho mukhalonga kuti: ‘Yahova asatiida; na thangwi ineyi iye atibulusa ku Ejitu toera kutipereka mʼmanja mwa Aamori toera atifudze. 28 Kodi ife tiri kuenda kupi? Abale athu atifewesa manungo*+ pidalonga iwo kuti: “Iwo ndi anthu akuwanga kakamwe na akulapha maningi kupiringana ife, pontho mizinda yawo ndi mikulu, yakuzungulirwa na mipanda yakuwanga idafika mpaka kudzulu.+ Kweneko ife taonambo ana a dzindza ya Anaki.”’+

29 “Mbwenye ine ndakupangani: ‘Lekani kugopa, peno kutetemera thangwi ya iwo.+ 30 Yahova Mulungu wanu anadzaenda patsogolo panu, mbamenya nkhondo toera kukuphedzani,+ ninga pidacita iye mu dziko ya Ejitu pamaso panu.+ 31 Pontho imwe mwaona nʼthando kuti Yahova Mulungu wanu akuthukulani ninga munthu anathukula mwanace, iye acita pyenepi konsene kudapita imwe mpaka kufika pa mbuto ino.’ 32 Mbwenye mwakukhonda tsalakana pyenepi, imwe nee mwakhulupira Yahova Mulungu wanu,+ 33 wakuti akhaenda patsogolo panu toera kukusakirani mbuto inafuna imwe kumanga misasa yanu. Namasiku iye akhaonekera pa khole ya moto, namasikati iye akhaonekera pa khole toera kukupangizani njira inafuna kupita na imwe.+

34 “Mu ndzidzi unoyu onsene, Yahova akhabva pikhalonga imwe, na thangwi ineyi iye aipirwa, mbadumbira kuti:+ 35 ‘Nee mʼbodzi wa anthu awa a dzindza yakuipa anadzaona dziko idapikira ine kupasa ambuyanu,+ 36 basi ene Kalebe mwana wa Yefune ndiye anafuna kuiona. Iye anadzaiona, pontho ine ndinadzapasa iye na anace dziko idafamba iye, thangwi iye abvera Yahova na ntima wace onsene.*+ 37 (Yahova aipirwambo na ine thangwi ya imwe, mbalonga: “Iwembo nee unadzapitamo.+ 38 Ntumiki wako+ Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndiye anafuna kupita mu dziko ineyi.+ Muwangise*+ thangwi ndiye anafuna kupitisa Aizraeli mu dziko ineyi.”) 39 Mbwenye ananu adalonga imwe kuti anadzakwatwa ninga pinthu pyakutapatwa,+ na ananu akuti lero nkhabe dziwa cinthu cadidi na cakuipa, anewa anadzapitamo, pontho ndinadzaapasa dziko ineyi ninga unthaka.+ 40 Mbwenye imwe bwererani nduli mubuluke nʼthando mupite na njira ya ku Bara Yakufuira.’+

41 “Penepo imwe mwandipanga: ‘Ife tadawa kuna Yahova. Cincino ife tinaenda kamenya nkhondo, mwakubverana na pidatipanga Yahova Mulungu wathu!’ Natenepa mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa imwe akwata pida pyace pya nkhondo, mbamunyerezera kuti pinakhala pyakukhonda nentsa kuenda kucisa ca mapiri.+ 42 Mbwenye Yahova andipanga: ‘Apange kuti: “Lekani kuenda kamenya nkhondo, thangwi ine nee ndinadzakhala na imwe.+ Mungaenda, munakundwa na anyamalwa anu.”’ 43 Ine ndakupangani pyenepi, mbwenye imwe nee mwandibvera. Imwe mwapwaza pidalonga Yahova, mwacita pikhafuna imwe mbamuyesera kuenda kucisa ca mapiri. 44 Penepo Aamori akuti akakhala mucisa ceneci abwera kuna imwe mbakutowererani ninga pinacita nyuci, iwo akuthamangisani* kuenda ku Seiri mpaka ku Orma. 45 Natenepa imwe mwabwerera mbamutoma kulira pamaso pa Yahova, mbwenye Yahova nee akubveserani, pontho nee akutsalakanani. 46 Na thangwi ineyi, mwapitiriza kukhala ku Kadhesi mu ntsiku zizinji.
