16Ndi dzone ṱholi dze Mushe a dzi ruma u yo ṱola shango. Mushe a ri dzina ḽa Hoshea ṅwana wa Nunu ḽi vho pfi Joshua.
17Mushe a tshi vha ruma u yo tandula shango ḽa Kanana a vha vhudza a ri, “Ni tshi bva fhano ni livhe devhula ni dzhene Negeve, ni konou livha mivhunduni. 18Ni tandule uri iḽo shango ḽo tou ita hani, vhathu vha no dzula henefho ndi vhangana, na uri vha na maanḓa mangafhani. 19Na sedza arali shango ḽi ḽavhuḓi kana ḽi si ḽavhuḓi, ni dovhe ni sedze arali vhathu avho vha tshi dzula ḓoroboni dzi si na luhura kana vha tshi dzula miḓini yo tangedzwaho nga mitsheṱo. 20Ni sedze arali mavu aḽo o vhibvela kana lu lukwara, ḽi na miri kana ḽi si na. Ni tshi vhuya ni ite maanḓa uri ni vhuye na mitshelo ya shango ḽeneḽo.” (Tsho vha tshi tshifhinga tshine nḓirivhe dza thoma u vhibva.)
21Ndi hone avho vhanna vha tshi livha thungo ya devhula, vha tandula shango u bva phangani ya Tsini thungo ya tshipembe u vhuya u swika Rehobo, tsini ha Phara ya Hamathi thungo ya devhula. 22Vho thoma nga u dzhena Negeve vha swika Hebroni, he ha vha hu tshi dzula vha mitupo ya Ahimani na Sheshai na Thalamai, vha lutsinga lwa Anaki. (Hebroni wo ri u fhaṱiwa ha fhela miṅwaha miṱanu na mivhili ha konou fhaṱiwa Tsuani u re Egipita.) 23Vha swika Govhani ḽa Eshkolo, henefho vha rema davhi ḽe ḽa vha ḽi na tshiṱokola tsha nḓirivhe, vha ita mutingati vha tshi hwala tsho nembelela kha thanda.
