Uwexuko lukaYoshuwa lwathi loo ndawo yiGiligali

1Kwathi, beva bonke ookumkani bama-Amori, ababephesheya kweYordan ngasentshonalanga, nookumkani bonke bamaKanan, ababengaselwandle, ukuba uYehova wawapheka kuqala amanzi aseYordan sada sacanda oonyana bakaSirayeli, zanyibilika iintliziyo zabo, akaba sabakho kubo umoya wabo ngenxa yoonyana bakaSirayeli.

2Ngelo xesha wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa, Zenzele iintshengece, uphinde ubaluse oonyana bakaSirayeli okwesibini.

3Wazenzela uYoshuwa iintshengece, wabalusa oonyana bakaSirayeli endulini yezintsu.

4Nasi isizathu sokuba uYoshuwa abaluse: Bonke abantu abaphuma eYiputa, amadoda, ewe, onke amadoda okulwa, afela entlango endleleni, ekuphumeni kwawo eYiputa.

5Baqalekiswa bonke abantu abaphumayo; Ke bonke abantu abazalelwe entlango endleleni ephuma eYiputa babengalukanga.

6Bahamba oonyana bakaSirayeli entlango iminyaka emashumi mane, ada atshabalala onke amadoda okulwa aphuma eYiputa, ngokuba engaliphulaphulanga ilizwi likaYehova; awabafungelayo uYehova ukuba akayi kubakho babonise ilizwe elo uYehova walithembisa ooyise ngesifungo, ukuba wosinika lona, ilizwe elibaleka amasi neenyosi.

7Kwaabantwana wabavusileyo endaweni yabo, ngabo abamalusayo uYoshuwa, ngokuba bemathile, ngokuba bengabalusanga endleleni.

8Bakuba belugqibile ukulwalusa uhlanga lonke, bahlala ezintenteni zabo, bada baphola.

9Wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa, Namhla ndilisusile ihlazo leYiputa kuwe; ngenxa yoko kwathiwa igama laloo ndawo yiGiligali, unanamhla.

10Bamisa iintente oonyana bakaSirayeli eGiligali, benza ipasika ngomhla weshumi elinesine wenyanga, lakutshona ilanga, ezinkqantosini zaseYeriko.

11Ngengomso emva kwepasika yengqolowa yelizwe, badla izonka ezingenagwele nengqolowa egcadiweyo, kwangaloo mini.

Umphathi-mkhosi

12Yaphela imana ngengomso, xa badla ingqolowa yelizwe; bangabi saba nemana oonyana bakaSirayeli; badla iziqhamo zelizwe lakwaKanan ngaloo mnyaka.

13Xa uYoshuwa wayeseYeriko wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, wakhangela, wabona indoda imi malunga naye, ithe rhuthu ikrele layo ngesandla; Waya kuyo uYoshuwa, wathi kuyo, Ungakuthi, ungakuthi, kusini na?

14Wathi, Hayi; kodwa ngoku ingumthetheli wenkundla kaYehova. Wawa uYoshuwa ngobuso bakhe, waqubuda, wathi kuyo, Ithetha ntoni na inkosi yam kumkhonzi wayo?

15Wathi umthetheli womkhosi kaYehova kuYoshuwa, Khulula iimbadada zakho; ngokuba indawo leyo umi kuyo ingcwele. Wenjenjalo uYoshuwa.
