5 Amambo anewa onsene abverana toera kugumanyikana, mbaenda kamanga pabodzi misasa dhuzi na madzi a ku Meromu, toera amenyane na Aizraeli.
6 Natenepa Yahova apanga Yoswa: “Leka kuagopa,+ thangwi mangwana ndzidzi ninga uno, ndinapereka onsene toera aphiwe na Aizraeli. Gwanda uzingo*+ wa makavalo awo, pontho pisa na moto ngolo zawo.”
7 Yoswa pabodzi na anyankhondo onsene aenda kamenyana nawo mwakututumusa dhuzi na madzi a ku Meromu.
8 Yahova aapereka mʼmanja mwa Aizraeli,+ iwo aakunda mbaatowera mpaka ku Sidhoni Wankulu,+ ku Mesirefoti-Maimu+ na ku Gowa ya Mispe kumabulukiro a dzuwa, pontho iwo apha onsene, nee mʼbodzi adapulumuka.+

13 Mbwenye Aizraeli nee apisa mizinda yakuti ikhali padzulu pa mapiri; kusiyapo nzinda wa Azori udapisa Yoswa na moto.
14 Aizraeli akwata pinthu pyonsene na pifuyo pya mizinda ineyi.+ Mbwenye iwo apha na supada anthu mpaka kumala onsene.+ Iwo nee asiya munthu na umaso.+
