Haasi mapakatwa enyu kana miseve yenyu yakaita izvozvi. 13Ndakakupai minda yamusina kumbounda namaguta amusina kuvaka mamugere, muchidya zvenyu michero yeminda yemigirepisi neyemiorivhi yamusina kumbosima.’
14“Saka zvino ityai Tenzi mumunamate nomwoyo wose muchokwadi, rasai vamwari vainamatwa namadzitateguru enyu kumhiri kwerwizi kuya nokuIjipiti, munamate Tenzi. 15Kana imi musingadi kunamata Tenzi chisarudzai nhasi uno wamunoda kunamata pana vamwari vainamatwa namadzibaba enyu kumhiri kwerwizi kana vamwari vavaAmori vomunyika ino yamugere. Asi ini nemhuri yangu tichanamata Tenzi.”
16Vanhu ndokuti, “Hatimbofa takafuratira Tenzi tichindonamata vamwe vamwari 17nokuti Tenzi, Mwari wedu ndiye akatiburitsa isu namadzibaba edu munyika yeIjipiti muuranda, akaita zviratidzo zvikuru zviya tichiona nameso edu.

Naizvozvo kana nesuwo tichanamata Tenzi nokuti ndiye Mwari wedu.” 19Asi Joshuwa akavati, “Hamungambokwanisi kushandira Tenzi imi nokuti iye ndiMwari mutsvene. NdiMwari weshanje. Haazokuregererai zvikanganiso nezvitadzo zvenyu. 20Chandinodariro ndechokuti mukazofuratira Tenzi mondonamata vamwari vasirivo achakupindukirai wokuitirai zvakaipa achakuparadzai iye ambenge achikukuitirai zvakanaka.”
21Vanhu vakati kuna Joshuwa, “Kwete. Tenzi ndiye watichanamata.”
22Joshuwa ndokuti kwavari, “Iyemi ndimi matova zvapupu zvokuzvipupurira pachenyu kuti masarudza kuti Tenzi ndiye wamuchanamata.” Vakati, “Hongu ndisu zvapupu zvacho.”

24Vanhu vakati kuna Joshuwa, “Tenzi Mwari wedu ndiye watichanamata, izwi rake ndiro ratichateerera.”
25Naizvozvo Joshuwa akaita chitenderano navanhu musi iwoyo, akavapa mitemo nemirao kuShikemu. 26Ipapo Joshuwa akanyora zvinhu izvozvi mubhuku romutemo waMwari. Akatora zidombo guru akaridzimikira pasi pomuti womuoku, pedyo nenzvimbo yaTenzi inoera. 27Joshuwa akataurira vanhu vose achiti, “Chionai, zidombo iri richava chapupu chokutipisa mhosva nokuti ranzwa zvose zvataurwa naTenzi kwatiri. Naizvozvo richava chapupu chokukupisai mhosva zvimwe mungadaro mukazoita zvokunyengedza Mwari wenyu.” 28Joshuwa akazoti vanhu vachienda zvavo kunyika dzenhaka dzavo vachiti uyu kwake uyu kwake.
