1Yangibonisa uJoshuwa, umpristi omkhulu, emi phambi kwengelosi kaJehova, noSathane emi ngakwesokunene sakhe ukumelana naye.
2UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “UJehova uyakukukhuza, Sathane! yebo, uJehova owakhetha iJerusalema uyakukhuza. Akusona isitsha somlilo esikhishwe emlilweni na?
3UJoshuwa wayembethe izingubo ezingcolile wema phambi kwengelosi.
4Wasephendula, wakhuluma kwababemi phambi kwakhe, wathi: Msuseni izigqoko ezingcolileyo. Wathi kuye: “Bheka, ngibususile ububi bakho kuwe, ngembathisile ezinye izingubo.”
5Ngasengisithi: Kabamthwese isigqoko esihle ekhanda. Bamgqokisa isigqoko esihle ekhanda, bamembathisa izingubo. Ingelosi kaJehova yema eduze.
6Ingelosi kaJehova yamsola uJoshuwa, yathi:
7Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Uma nihamba ezindleleni zami, nilalela imiyalo yami, niyakwahlulela indlu yami, nilonde amagceke ami, ngininike izindawo zokuhamba phakathi kwalabo abami khona.
8Manje yizwa, Joshuwa, mpristi omkhulu, wena nabangane bakho abahlala phambi kwakho, ngoba bangabantu abamangalisayo, ngoba bheka, ngiyoveza inceku yami, iHLUmela.
9Ngokuba bheka, itshe engalibeka phambi kukaJoshuwa; etsheni linye kuyakuba namehlo ayisikhombisa; bheka, ngiyakuqopha umbhalo wakhe,” usho uJehova Sebawoti, “ngisuse ububi balelo zwe ngalusuku lunye.
10Ngalolo suku, usho uJehova Sebawoti, niyakuqamba, kube yilowo nalowo umakhelwane wakhe phansi komvini naphansi komkhiwane.
