Joshuwa wakati ku bantu, Amweende, mukauzinguluke munzi, oonse ooyo ulibambide ayinde kumpela a aleka lya Mwami. Nicakasika ciindi, Joshuwa nakamana kukanana ku bantu, bapailizyi balimusanu mubabili bakajisi myeembo ili musanu mwiibili iya meja aambelele bakeenda kumpela a Mwami, bakatalika kusiba myeembo: eelyo aleka lya cizuminano lyakali kubacilila.KKP 184.1

Lino basyikalumamba bakali bambide bakaunka kumpela a bapailizyi bakali kusiba myeembo, eelyo bamwi bakali kweenda munsi lya aleka, balo bapailizyi bakali kweenda kumpela kabaya kusiba myeembo.

Lino aleka lya Mwami lyakauzinguluka munzi, lyakatalika kuzinguluka munzi, bakauzinguluka ciindi comwe: eelyo bakaboola ku civuka, bakakala mu civuka.”KKP 184.2

Eeyi nkamu ya ma Hebulu yakali kweenda mu mulawo. Kutaanguna kwakaunka bantu bakajisi zya kulwanya, bakasalidwe, bakalisamide mbuli basyikalumamba, pesi teebakali kuyandika kuti basebenzye zya kulwanya zyabo, bakali kuyandika biyo kuti bateelele kulaililwa nkobakapegwa. Eelyo munsi a balombwana aabo, kwakali kucilila bapailizyi bali musanu mubabili bakajisi myeembo. Eelyo munsi a bapailizyi aabo kwakali kucilila aleka lya Leza, lyakajisi golide limwekamweka, alimwi lyakali vunikidwe abulemu, lyakali bwezedwe a bapailizyi, bakasamide zikobela zibotu zyakali kutondeezya bulemu ku mu- limo wabo usetekene. Lino bunji bwa bana ba Israeli bakali kucilila mbuli mbo bakalaililwa, mukowa omwe omwe wakali kweenda mbuli mbo wakalaililwa. Lino bakauzinguluka munzi kabajisi a aleka lya Leza. Kunyina kuyobeka kuteelelwa, pesi kwakali kuteelelwa biyo kweenda kwa bantu aaba, alimwi akulila kwa myeembo kuyoosya, kwakali kuteelelwa mu malundu, eelyo kwakali kuteelelwa mu munzi wa Jeliko.KKP 184.3

Mukukankamana alimwi akuyoowa, balindi ba munzi ooyo bakababona bantu boonse aabo bakali kweenda, eelyo bakaambila baabo bakali bapati ba mu munzi. Lino aabo bakali kulindila munzi, teebakakonzya kwaamba kuti eeci cintu coonse cakali kutondezyegwa cakali kwaamba nzi. Bamwi bakali kuseka nobakabona muzeezo ooyu wakali kucitwa mu kutola munzi, pesi bamwi bakayoowa, mbuli mbo bakabona aleka libotu, alimwi abapailizyi bakajisi bulemu, alimwi abantu boonse bakali kucilila bapailizyi, kakuli a Joshuwa kumpela lya bantu banji banji. Bantu bakayeeya kuti, Lwizyi Lusalala lwakandaana myaka ili makumi one iyakamanide, bakabona meenda mbwakaandaana, eelyo kwakacaala nzila yabo kuti bayinde, alimwi bakabona ameenda mbwaakandaana ku muionga wa Jolodani, bakazabuka mu muionga. Bantu ba mu munzi wa Jeliko bakayoowa kapati. Zilyango zya munzi bakazijala cakujatisya, ku cilyango comwe comwe bakabika balindi.KKP 185.1

Kwa mazuba ali musanu mu bumwi, aaba basyikalumamba ba Israeli bakauzinguluka munzi. Mu buzuba bwa musanu mwaabili, bakauzinguluka munzi ziindi zili musanu muzibili. Bantu bakalaililwa kuti baumune, mbuli lyoonse. Myeembo ilike njiyakali kuyandika kuteelelwa. Bantu bakaambilwa kuti balangilile biyo, eelyo ku ciindi myeembo ncoyakali kunga ilalila kapati kwiindilila, boonse bakaambilwa kuti bayobeke kapati, nkaambo Leza munzi wakalupede kuli mbabo. “Nocakasika ciindi mu buzuba bwa musanu mwaabili, bakabuka cifumofumo ku bucedo bwa buzuba, bakauzinguluka munzi mbuli lyoonse, bakauzinguluka ziindi zili musanu muzibili: mu buzuba oobo bulike mobakauzinguluka munzi ziindi zili musanu muzibili. Nobakali kweenda mu ciindi ca mu- sanu muzibili, bapailizyi nobakalizya myeembo, Joshuwa wakati ku bantu, Amuyobeke; nkaambo Mwami munzi waupa kuli ndinywe.” “Eelyo bantu bakayobeka ku ciindi bapailizyi nobakasiba myeembo: Bantu bakayobeka kapati, icakuti bwaanda boonse bwakawida ansi, eelyo bantu bakanjila mu munzi, bakausaala.”KKP 185.2

Walo a bangele mba bakali kulwana mukulwana ooku. Klistu wakalailila basyikalumamba ba ku julu kuti bawaale bwaanda bwa Jeliko ansi, ikutegwa Joshuwa a bana ba Israeli banjile mukati.
