1 Kunyima kua lufu lua Yoshua, bena Isalele* abayipuishe Yehowa’shi: “Nnanyi a kuatudi ende a kumpala mu kuluisha bena Kanaana?” 2 Yehowa nkualula’shi: “Yunda nyi ende. Talayi! Namupa* nsenga muiyasa diaye.” 3 Nyi Yunda nkulungula mukuabo Simeone’shi: “Fika tuende mu nsenga* yabadi bampe bua’shi tukalue ngoshi na bena Kanaana. Akupu nende nobe mu nsenga yabadi bakupe.” Biabia Simeone nkuenda naye.

4 Pabaadi Yunda muende, Yehowa bebapeele bena Kanaana na bena Perizi mu maasa muabo, abo nkutshokola bantu 10 000 mu Bezeke. 5 Abo nkusangana Adoni-bezeke mu Bezeke, na kuakua abo nkulua naye ngoshi na nkutshokola bena Kanaana na bena Perizi. 6 Pabaadi Adoni-bezeke musuukie, babamulondele, bamukuata na bamutshiba biala na mana akata. 7 Nyi Adoni-bezeke nkuakula’shi: “Kui ba nfumu 70 babadi batshibe biala na mana akata na bakuete kusangula bia kudia muushi mua mesa ande. Efile Mukulu bankitshi nka bu biandi mukite bangi.” Kunyima kua biabia babamutuadile ku Yelusalema na aye nkafuila kuakua.

8 Dingi bantu ba Yunda nkulua na Yelusalema ngoshi na abo nkumukuata; abo nkuipaa bantu ba muanka ku lupete lua ngoshi na nkuela kibundi kaalo. 9 Kunyima kua biabia, bantu ba Yunda babaalalele mu kulua ngoshi na bena Kanaana bashale mu nsenga ya ku miengie, mu Negebe na mu Shefela. 10 Biabia Yunda nkuenda mu kulua na bena Kanaana babaadi bashale mu Ebrone (kumpala eshina dia Ebrone dibaadi Kiriate-arba), na abo nkuipaa Sheshayi, Ahimane, na Talmayi.

11 Abo nkukatuka kuakua, nkuenda mu kulua ngoshi na bantu ba ku Debire. (Kumpala eshina dia Debire dibaadi Kiriate-sefere.) 12 Akupu Kalebe nkuakula’shi: “Muntu akaluisha bena Kiriate-sefere na akuata kibundi kiabo, namupa muana ande mukashi Akesa bu mukashi aaye.” 13 Na Otenyele muana a Kenaze, muina a Kalebe mulume nkuikikuata. Biabia Kalebe nkumupa muana aaye mukashi Akesa bu mukashi aaye. 14 Pabaadi Akesa ende ku nshibo ya mulume aaye, baadi mutakule mulume aaye bua kuteka nshaye efuba. Akupu aye nkuika ku mpunda* aaye. Kalebe nkumuipusha’shi: “Okiebe kinyi?” 15 Aye nkumulungula’shi: “Ngielele namu miabi, muanda we mumpe kipindi kia nsenga dia kuushi;* mpe namu dingi Gulote-maime.”* Biabia Kalebe nkumupa Gulote a Kunundu na Gulote a Kuushi.

16 Na lutandua lua muina Keni muko mulume a Moyise, nkukatuka mu kibundi kia mabo na muilo wa Yunda, nkuenda ku kabaaka ka Yunda dia kuushi kua Arade. Abo nkuenda kuakua na nkushala munkatshi mua muilo. 17 Anka Yunda na mukuabo Simeone, nkuenda na nkuluisha bena Kanaana abaadi bashale mu Sefate na nkubutula kibundi. Biabia abo nkuudika kibundi bu Orma.* 18 Akupu Yunda nkukuata Gaza na nsenga yaye, Ashekelone na nsenga yaye, na Ekrone na nsenga yaye. 19 Yehowa baadi na Yunda na abo nkuata nsenga ya ku miengie, anka tababaadi bobeshe kubinga bantu babaadi bashale muibanda, muanda abaadi na matempu a ngoshi e na tupete tula tua kiamo ku bipombo.* 20 Abo nkupa Kalebe Ebrone, nka bu bibaadi Moyise mulee, na aye nkubinga bana balume basatu ba Anake muanka.

22 Yaaya nsaa, lutandua lua Yosefe nkukaamina mu kulua ngoshi na Betele, na Yehowa baadi nabo. 23 Lutandua lua Yosefe lubatumine bantu mu kupuupa Betele (kumpala eshina dia kibundi dibaadi Luze), 24 na ba mpuupa babamuene muntu baadi atuuku mu kibundi. Biabia abo nkumulungula’shi: “Etuleshe namu eshinda adituele mu kibundi, na atukukitshina mianda na kalolo.”* 25 Biabia yawa muntu nkuibalesha eshinda adituele mu kibundi, na abo nkuipaa bantu ba mu kibundi ku lupete lua ngoshi, anka abo nkutadiila yawa muntu na kifuko kiaye buabadia kuenda. 26 Yawa muntu nkuenda mu nsenga ya bena Ite, nkuibaka kibundi na nkuikiudika bu Luze, nyi eshina diakio mpa na lelo.
