Ndinati ‘Sindidzaswa pangano langa ndi inu, 2ndipo inu musadzachite pangano ndi anthu a dziko lino, koma mudzaphwanye maguwa awo ansembe.’ Koma inu simunamvere lamulo langa. Chifukwa chiyani mwachita zimenezi? 3Ndikukuwuzani tsopano kuti sindithamangitsa nzikazo pamene inu mukufika. Ndidzawasandutsa kukhala adani anu ndipo milungu yawo idzakhala ngati msampha kwa inu.”

12:1 a Bal 6:11 b nny 5 c Kuv 20:2 d Lub 17:8 e Lv 26:42-44; Ma 7:9Awo Malayika wa Mukama n’ava e Bokimu n’ajja e Girugaali, n’agamba nti, “Nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri ne mbaleeta mu nsi gye nalayira okuwa bajjajjammwe; ne ŋŋamba nti, ‘Endagaano yange gye nalagaana nammwe sirigimenya emirembe gyonna; 22:2 a Kuv 23:32; 34:12; Ma 7:2 b Kuv 34:13nammwe temukolanga ndagaano n’abantu ab’omu nsi eyo: museseggulanga ebyoto byabwe.’ Naye mmwe temugondedde kiragiro kyange: Kiki ekibakozesezza bwe mutyo? 32:3 a Yos 23:13 b Kbl 33:55 c Ma 7:16; Bal 3:6; Zab 106:36Kaakano kyenva ŋŋamba nti, ‘Siibafubutule mu maaso gammwe, naye banaaba balabe bammwe ne bakatonda baabwe banaaba nkonge gye muli.’ ”
4Malayika wa Mukama bwe yamala okugamba Abayisirayiri bonna ebigambo bino ne balyoka batema emiranga. 5Ekifo ekyo ne bakituuma erinnya Bokimu; ne baweera eyo Ssaddaaka eri Mukama.
6Awo Yoswa bwe yamala okulagira Abayisirayiri baabuke, buli omu ku bo n’agenda okugabana ekitundu kye yasuubizibwa. 7Abayisirayiri ne baweerezanga Mukama mu kiseera kyonna ekya Yoswa era ne mu kiseera kyonna eky’abakulembeze abaawangaala okusinga Yoswa era abaalaba ebikolwa eby’amaanyi Mukama bye yakolera Abayisirayiri.
8Awo omuweereza wa Mukama Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’afa. We yafiira ng’aweza emyaka kikumi mu kkumi. 92:9 Yos 19:50Ne bamuziika e Timunasukeresi mu kitundu kye yagabana mu nsi ya Efulayimu ey’ensozi mu bukiika obwa kkono obw’olusozi Gaasi.

162:16 a Bik 13:20 b Zab 106:43Mukama n’abawa abakulembeze abaabalwaniriranga ne babawonya abanyazi. 172:17 a Kuv 34:15 b nny 7Naye tebaawuliriza bakulembeze baabwe ne bagoberera era ne basinza bakatonda abalala. Tebaakola nga bajjajjaabwe abaagobereranga n’okuwuliranga ebiragiro bya Mukama. 182:18 a Ma 32:36; Yos 1:5 b Zab 106:44Buli Mukama lwe yabawanga omukulembeze yamuyambanga era n’anunulanga Abayisirayiri okuva mu mikono gy’abalabe baabwe ekiseera eky’omukulembeze oyo. Olw’okusindanga n’okweraliikirizibwa abalabe baabwe abaabajooganga, Mukama kyeyava abakwatirwa ekisa. 192:19 a Bal 3:12 b Bal 4:1; 8:33Naye omukulembeze olwafanga ne baddamu okweyisanga obubi okukira ne bajjajjaabwe, ne bagobereranga ne baweerezanga era n’okuvuunamiranga bakatonda abalala ne banywerera ku mpisa zaabwe embi olw’emputtu yaabwe.
202:20 nny 14; Yos 23:16Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Abayisirayiri n’agamba nti, “Olw’okuba nga abantu bano bamenye endagaano gye nalagaana ne bajjajjaabwe, so tebagondedde ddoboozi lyange, 212:21 Yos 23:13siifubutule mu maaso gaabwe wadde eggwanga n’erimu ku ago Yoswa ge yafa bawangudde. 222:22 Ma 8:2, 16; Bal 3:1, 14Wabula nzija kukozesa amawanga gano okugezesa Abayisirayiri okulaba obanga banaafaayo okunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama nga bajjajjaabwe bwe baakola, oba nedda.” 23Bw’atyo Mukama n’aleka amawanga gali mu nsi eyo, n’atagawaayo mu mikono gya Yoswa yadde okugafubutula mu nsi eyo nga Yoswa yaakafa.
