1 Maze anyereka Yosuwa umutambyi mukuru ahagaze imbere ya marayika w’Uwiteka, na Satani ahagaze iburyo bwe ngo amurege.
2 Uwiteka abwira Satani ati “Uwiteka aguhane, yewe Satani. Ni koko Uwiteka watoranyije i Yerusalemu aguhane. Mbese uwo si umushimu ukuwe mu muriro?”
3 Kandi Yosuwa yari yambaye imyenda y’ibizinga, ahagaze imbere ya marayika.
4 Marayika abwira abari bamuri imbere ati “Nimumwambure iyo myenda y’ibizinga.” Maze abwira Yosuwa ati “Ngukuyeho gukiranirwa kwawe, kandi ndakwambika imyambaro myiza cyane.”
5 Ndategeka nti “Nimumwambike igitambaro cyiza mu mutwe.” Nuko bamwambika igitambaro cyiza mu mutwe, bamwambika n’imyenda. Marayika w’Uwiteka yari ahagaze aho.
