31 Chocho Mose yaya, yalweza maliji wano kuli A-Izalele eswe 2 ngwenyi: “Musono nguli ni miaka 120. Chatambile nawa kunusongwela, mumu Yehova kangulweza ngwenyi: ‘Yena kuuchi kazauka Yordau.’ 3 Yehova Zambi yenu mwe makanutetekela, iye makanongesa mavungu kumeso jenu, yenu munukatambula chifuchi ni kutwamamo. Yoshua mwe makanusongwela ha kuzauka ngwe chize Yehova amba. 4 Yehova makalinga kuli ayo ngwe chize alingile kuli Sahone ni Oge mianangana A-Amore ni chifuchi cho muze aanongesene. 5 Yehova makaanongesa kumeso jenu, yenu nwatamba kulinga kuli ayo kulita ni shimbi yeswe yize nanwaha. 6 Hamukenu, takamenu. Kanda nwevwila woma chipwe mwongo, mumu Yehova Zambi yenu mwe unanutetekela. Iye kechi kanwehuka chipwe kunumbila.”
7 Chocho Mose yasanyika Yoshua yamulweza kumeso ja A-Izalele eswe ngwenyi: “Hamuka, takama, mumu yena mwe mukanjisa atu wano mu chifuchi chize Yehova alishingile kuhana kuli tulamba jenu, yena mwe mukaahacho ngwe chihinga. 8 Yehova mwe makakutetekela, iye makapwa hamwe ni yena. Kechi kakwehuka chipwe kukumbila. Kashika, kanda wivwa woma chipwe mwongo.”
9 Chocho Mose yasoneka Shimbi yino, yayihana kuli asasendote A-Levi waze te akumbata mushete wa usendo wa Yehova ni kuli makulwana eswe a Izalele. 10 Mose yaalweza ngwenyi: “Ku songo lia miaka yeswe shimbiali, ha shimbu lize hanatese ha mwaka wa kutusula, ha mashimbu a Chiwanyino cha Yisakila, 11 muze A-Izalele eswe masoloka kumeso ja Yehova Zambi yenu ku chihela kuze masakula, yenu nwatamba kutanga Shimbi yino hanga A-Izalele eswe ayivwe. 12 Kungenu atu, malunga, mapwo, twanuke ni yilambala waze atwama mu mambonge jenu hanga apanjike, alilongese hakutwala kuli Yehova Zambi yenu hanga amuvumbike ni kukaula kanawa maliji a Shimbi yino. 13 Chocho ana jo waze te kanyingikine Shimbi yino, makapanjika ni kulilongesa kuvumbika Yehova Zambi yenu matangwa eswe waze matwama mu chifuchi chize makatambula ha kuzauka Yordau.”
14 Mba Yehova yalweza Mose ngwenyi: “Tangwa lia kufwa che linakundama. Sanyika Yoshua hanga nuye mu mbalaka ya kulikungulwila hanga ngumutongole ngwe kasongo.” Chocho Mose ni Yoshua yaya mu mbalaka ya kulikungulwila. 15 Yehova yasoloka mu mbalaka, mu nguji lia lelwa, mba nguji lia lelwa yilimana ku chikolo cha mbalaka.
16 Yehova yalweza Mose ngwenyi: “Kwasala hakehe hanga ufwe, atu wano makalinga ukoi wa ku spiritu ni tuzambi a yilambala waze ali hakamwihi ni chifuchi muze makaya. Ayo makangumbila ni kwehuka usendo uze nalinga no. 17 Ha shimbu liacho utenu wami muukeza hali ayo, mungukaambila, chichi kasoloka kuli ayo ndo muze maanongesa. Muze makamona lamba linji ni luyinda, makalihula ngwo: ‘Shina chino chinalingiwa mumu Zambi yetu keshi nawa mukachi ketu?’ 18 Alioze yami chichi kasoloka kuli ayo ha shimbu liacho mumu lia upi weswe uze alinga ha kuwayila tuzambi akwo.
19 “Haliapwila sonekenu mwaso uno, ulongesenu kuli A-Izalele. Akolwezenu hanga alilongesewo ukapwe uchela wami hali A-Izalele. 20 Muze mungwatwala mu chifuchi chize nalishingile kuhana kuli tulamba jo, chifuchi cha yamwa ni wuchi, ayo malia, makuta ni kutohwa, mahiluka kuli tuzambi eka ni kwalingila, manguhona vumbi ni kutangula usendo wami. 21 Muze kapinda munji ni lamba muliza hali ayo, mwaso uno muupwa uchela wami kuli ayo (mumu ana jo katambile kuvulama mwaso wacho), mumu ngunanyingika kupwa cha mbunge jo, chipwe muze te kanda nguchanjisa mu chifuchi chize nalishingile kwaha.”
22 Chocho Mose yasoneka mwaso wacho ha tangwa lizeliene, mba yaulongesa kuli A-Izalele.
23 Mba iye* yatongola Yoshua mwana wa Nune hanga apwe kasongo, yamulweza ngwenyi: “Takama, hamuka, mumu yena mukanjisa A-Izalele mu chifuchi chize nalishingile kwaha, yami mungununga ni kukukwasa.”
24 Muze Mose ahwishile kusoneka maliji eswe a Shimbi yino ha mukanda, 25 Mose yalweza A-Levi waze te akumbata mushete wa usendo wa Yehova ngwenyi: 26 “Andenu mukanda uno wa shimbi nuuse sali lia mushete wa usendo wa Yehova Zambi yenu, ukapwe uchela wami hali yenu. 27 Yami ngunanyingika kanawa uhulia ni pami jenu. Kama muze nguchili ni mwono nwakukolema Yehova, mba yika mutwamba muze yami mungufwa! 28 Ngukungulwilenu makulwana eswe a minyachi yenu ni tupitau jenu a maswalale hanga ngwalweze maliji wano kumeso jo. Malilu ni hashi makapwa yela a yuma yize ayo malinga. 29 Ngunanyingika ngwami, muze yami mungufwa, yenu munulinga yuma yinji yipi, munupianguka mu jila yize nanutumine kwenda. Mba kulutwe lamba muliza hali yenu, mumu nwalinga yuma yipi kumeso ja Yehova, munukamutuka ni milimo ya moko jenu.”
30 Mba Mose yahilukila maliji a mwaso uno kumeso ja A-Izalele eswe, chize ku uputukilo ndo ku songo:
