12 E nɔ jena mɔtu ɔ, Yoshua te si mla, nɛ osɔfo ɔmɛ wo Yehowa Daka a, 13 nɛ osɔfohi kpaago nɛ a hɛɛ titimati kpaago nyɛɛ Yehowa Daka a hɛ mi, nɛ a ya nɔ nɛ a kpa titimati ɔmɛ. Tabo ɔmɛ nɛ a hɛɛ ta hwumi níhi ɔ sɛ a hlami, nɛ sekpɛ tabo ɔ nyɛɛ Yehowa Daka a se be mi nɛ a ya nɔ nɛ a ngɛ titimati ɔmɛ kpae ɔ. 14 Ligbi enyɔne ɔ, a si ako kɛ bɔle ma a si kake, nɛ lɔ ɔ se ɔ, a kpale kɛ ba sito he ɔ.

Jamɛ a ligbi ɔ pɛ nɛ a si ako kɛ bɔle ma a si kpaago. 16 Nɛ ngɛ si kpaagone ɔ nɔ ɔ, osɔfo ɔmɛ kpa titimati ɔmɛ, nɛ Yoshua de ni ɔmɛ ke: “Nyɛ kpa ngmlaa, ejakaa Yehowa ngɔ ma a kɛ ha nyɛ! 17 Á kpata ma a kɛ nɔ́ fɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ ngɛ mi ɔ hɛ mi; Yehowa nɔ́ ji lɛ tsuo. Rahab, nɛ ji tuutuu yo ɔ pɛ nɛ e ma nyɛ maa hi wami mi, e kɛ nihi tsuo nɛ a piɛɛ e he ngɛ e we ɔ mi ɔ, ejakaa e ngɔ tsɔli ɔmɛ nɛ wa tsɔ ɔ kɛ laa. 18 Se nyɛɛ yu nyɛ he ngɛ níhi nɛ e sa kaa a kpata hɛ mi ɔmɛ a he, konɛ nyɛ ko ná nɔ́ ko nɛ e sa kaa a kpata hɛ mi ɔ he akɔnɔ nɛ́ nyɛɛ ngɔ, nɛ́ lɔ ɔ nɛ ba ha nɛ Israel sito he ɔ nɛ plɛ pee nɔ́ ko nɛ a ma kpata hɛ mi kɛ gu haomi nɛ nyɛɛ kɛ maa ba nɔ ɔ nɔ.* 19 Se sika hiɔ ɔ, kɛ sika tsu ɔ, kɛ akɔblee kɛ dade ní ɔmɛ tsuo lɛɛ a ngɛ klɔuklɔu kɛ ha Yehowa. Á ngɔ kɛ ya Yehowa juetli to he ɔ.”

20 Kɛkɛ nɛ benɛ a kpa titimati ɔmɛ ɔ, ni ɔmɛ kpa ngmlaa. Benɛ ni ɔmɛ nu titimati ɔ pɛmi ɔ nɛ́ a he ta ose nɛ nya wa a pɛ ɔ, gbogbo ɔ nɔ si butuu.
