1Saphuma isithunywa sikaYehova eGiligali, senyuka saya eBhogim, sathi, Ndanikhupha eYiputa, ndanizisa ezweni endafungayo kooyihlo; ndathi, Andiyi kuwaphula umnqophiso wam nawe;
2Musani ukuhlangana nabemi beli lizwe; nizidilizile izibingelelo zabo, aniliphulaphula ilizwi lam. Uyenzele ntoni lonto?
3Ndathi ke, Andiyi kubagxotha phambi kwakho; kodwa baya kuba njengameva emacaleni enu, noothixo bazo babe ngumgibe kuni.
4Sawathetha ke isithunywa sikaYehova la mazwi kubo bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli, baliphakamisa abantu izwi labo, balila.
5Bayibiza loo ndawo ngokuthi yiBhogim baza babingelela kuYehova apho.
6Wathi uYoshuwa ebantwini ukuba bahambe; baya oonyana bakaSirayeli elowo elifeni lakhe, ukuba balidle ilifa ilizwe.
7Abantu bamkhonza uYehova yonke imihla kaYoshuwa nayo yonke imihla yamadoda amakhulu awayesaphila emva koYoshuwa, awayeyibona yonke imisebenzi emikhulu kaYehova awayeyenzele amaSirayeli.
8Wafa ke uYoshuwa unyana kaNun, umkhonzi kaYehova, eminyaka ilikhulu elinashumi-nye ezelwe.
9Bamngcwabela emdeni welifa lakhe, eTimnatare, kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, kumntla wenduli yaseGahazi.
10Yaye sonke eso sizukulwana sasuswa kooyise, kwaza kwavela esinye isizukulwana emva kwaso, awayengasazi uYehova okanye imisebenzi awayeyenzele uSirayeli.
11Oonyana bakaSirayeli benza ububi emehlweni kaYehova, bakhonza ooBhahali.
12Bamnikela umva uYehova uThixo wooyise, owabakhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, balandela oothixo bolunye uhlanga, oothixo beentlanga ezibangqongileyo, babanqula, bamphikisa uYehova umsindo.
13Bamlahla ke uYehova, bakhonza uBhahali noAshtaroti.
14Wavutha umsindo kaYehova ngoonyana bakaSirayeli, waza wabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphangayo, waza wathengisa ngabo esandleni seentshaba zabo ezazibajikelezile, ukuze bangabi saba nakuma phambi kweentshaba zabo.
15Naphi na apho aya khona, isandla sikaYehova saba nxamnye nawo ngobubi, kanye njengoko wakuthethayo uYehova nanjengoko wayewathethile ngesifungo uYehova; bakhathazeka kakhulu.
16Ke uYehova wavelisa abagwebi, ababasindisayo esandleni sabo babewaphanga.
17Noko ke, akabaphulaphulanga abagwebi bawo, asuka akrexeza nabanye oothixo, babanqula kodwa abazange.
18uYehova wabazisa abagwebi, uYehova waba naloo mgwebi, wabasindisa esandleni seentshaba zabo yonke imihla yaloo mgwebi; ngokuba uYehova wayenovelwano ngabo, walila ngenxa yabacinezeli bawo wabacaphukisa.
19Kwathi, kwakutshatyalaliswa umgwebi lowo, babuya batshabalalisa ngaphezu kooyise, balandela thixo bambi, babakhonze, baqubude kubo; abazange bazilahle izenzo zabo neentshukumo zabo ezilukhuni.
20Wavutha ke umsindo kaYehova kuSirayeli; Wathi, Ekubeni olu hlanga luwaphule umnqophiso wam endawumisela ooyise, alwaliphulaphula ilizwi lam;
21Kananjalo, ukususela ngoku kuse phambili, andiyi kugxotha nabani na phakathi kweentlanga awazishiyayo uYoshuwa ekufeni kwakhe;
22ukuze ndibacikide oonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba boyigcina na indlela kaYehova, bahambe ngayo, njengoko bayigcinayo ooyise, abayi kuyigcina, kusini na.
23Kungenxa yoko le nto uYehova ezishiya ngaphandle kokuzigxotha ngokukhawuleza ezo ntlanga; akabanikela esandleni sikaYoshuwa.
