1Eitse Adoni-Sekeke, morena wa Jerusalema, a utlwa kamoo Joshua a hapileng Ai kateng, a mo otla ka thohako; A etsa joalo ka Jeriko le ho morena oa eona, le Ai le morena oa teng; le kamoo baahi ba Gibeone ba entseng kgotso le Baiseraele kateng, mme ba dula hara bona;
2ba tshoha haholo, hobane Gibeone e ne e le motse o moholo, o kang o mong wa metse ya borena, le kahobane o ne o le moholo ho feta Ai, le banna bohle ba teng ba le matla.
3Yaba Adoni-Sedeke, morena wa Jerusalema, o romela ho Hohame, morena wa Hebrone, le ho Pirame, morena wa Jarmuthe, le ho Jafia, morena wa Lakishe, le ho Debire, morena wa Eglone, a re:
4Nyolohelang ho ’na ’me le nthuse, e le hore re ka hlola Gibeone, hobane e ne e entse khotso le Joshua le bara ba Iseraele.
5Yaba marena a mahlano a Baamore, morena wa Jerusalema, le morena wa Hebrone, le morena wa Jarmuthe, le morena wa Lakishe, morena wa Eglone, a phutheha, a futuha, wona le makgotla wohle a wona, a emisa pela Gibeone, e loanetse ntoa khahlanong le eona.
6Eaba banna ba Gibeone ba romela ho Joshua liahelong tse Gilgale, ba re: U se ke ua tlosa letsoho la hao ho bahlanka ba hao; ako tle ho rona, o re namolele, o re thuse, hobane marena wohle a Baamore a ahileng dithabeng a re bokanetse.
7Joshua a nyoloha Gilgale, a e-na le banna bohle ba ntoa le bahale bohle.
8Eaba Jehova o re ho Joshua: U se ke ua ba tšaba, hobane ke nehelane ka bona matsohong a hao; ha ho le a mong wa bona ya tla ema pela hao.
9Joale Joshua a tla ka tšohanyetso ho bona ’me a nyoloha ho tloha Gilgale bosiu bohle.
10Jehova a ba hlohlelletsa ka pel’a Baiseraele, ’me a ba bolaea Gibeone ka polao e kholo, a ba lelekisa tseleng e nyolohelang Bethe-Horone, a ba bolaea ho ea fihla Aseka le ho ea fihla Makeda.
11Eitse ha ba ntse ba baleha ka pel’a Baiseraele le tseleng e eang Bethe-horone, Jehova a betsa holim ’a bona ka majoe a maholo a tsoang leholimong ho ea fihla Aseka, eaba baa shoa; bana ba Iseraele ba bolaile ka sabole.
12Joale Joshua a bua le Jehova letsatsing leo ka lona Jehova a ileng a nehelana ka Baamore ho bara ba Iseraele, ’me a re ka pel’a mahlo a Baiseraele: “Letsatsi, ema holim ’a Gibeone; le uena, khoeli, khohlong ea Ajalone.
13Letsatsi la ema, le khoeli ea ema ho fihlela sechaba se iphetetsa ho lira tsa sona. Ha ke re, ho ngodilwe bukeng ya Jasere na? Letsatsi la ema le sa sisinyehe bohareng ba leholimo, la se ke la potlakela ho phirima, hoo e ka bang letsatsi lohle.
14Ho ne ho se letsatsi le kang leo pele ho eena kapa ka mor’a moo Jehova a ileng a mamela lentsoe la motho; gonne Jehofa o ne a tlhabanela Iseraele.
15Eaba Joshua le Baiseraele bohle ba ho eena ba khutlela liahelong tse Gilgale.
16Empa marena ana a mahlano a baleha ’me a ipata lehaheng la Makeda.
17Joshua a tsebiswa, ha thwe: Marena a mahlano a fumanwe a ipatile lehaheng la Makeda.
18Eaba Joshua o re: “Phikolosetsang majoe a maholo monyako oa lehaha, ’me le behe batho haufi le ’ona ho le lebela.
19Mme le se ke la sala, le lelekise dira tsa lona, mme le hlole ba kamorao ho tsona; le se ke la ba dumella ho kena metseng ya bona, hobane Jehova, Modimo wa lona, o ba neetse matsohong a lona.
20Eitse ha Joshua le bara ba Iseraele ba qetile ho li bolaea ka polao e khōlō haholo ho fihlela li timetsoa, ’me ba setseng ba bona ba kena metseng e etselitsoeng liqhobosheane.
21Sechaba sohle sa khutlela liahelong ka khotso ho Joshua Makeda; ha hoa ka ha e-ba le ea mong oa bana ba Iseraele ka leleme la hae.
22Joshua a re: Npuleleng lesoba la lehaha, le ntshetse marena ao a mahlano ka lehaheng.
23Ba etsa joalo, ’me ba tlisa ho eena marena ao a mahlano a tsoang lehaheng, e leng morena oa Jerusalema, le morena oa Hebrone, le morena oa Jarmuthe, le morena oa Lakishe, le morena oa Eglone.
24Eitse hobane ba ntshetse marena ao ho Joshua, Joshua a bitsa banna bohle ba Iseraele, a re ho balaodi ba bahlabani ba neng ba tsamaile le yena: Atamelang, le bee maoto a lona melaleng ya marena ana. Ba atamela, ba bea maoto a bona melaleng.
25Joshua a re ho bona: Le se ke la tshoha, le se ke la tshoha; le be matla, le be sebete, hobane Jehova o tla etsa jwalo ho dira tsa lona tsohle tseo le di lwantshang.
26Ka mor’a moo Joshua a ba hlōla ’me a ba bolaea ’me a ba fanyeha lifateng tse hlano, eaba ba fanyehoa lifateng ho fihlela mantsiboea.
27Eitse ha letsatsi le likela, Joshua a laela, ’me ba e ntša lifateng ’me ba e lahlela ka lehaheng leo ba neng ba ipatile ka ho lona, ’me ba beha majoe a maholo molomong oa lehaha e leng teng le kajeno.
28Joshua a hapa Makeda letsatsing leo ’me a e hlōla ka bohale ba sabole, ’me a bolaea morena oa eona ka thohako, bona le meea eohle e neng e le ho eona; a etsa ho morena wa Makeda jwalokaha a ne a entse ho morena wa Jeriko.
29Joale Joshua a tloha Makeda le Baiseraele bohle ba na le yena ho ya fihla Libna, ba lwantsha Libna;
30Jehova a nehelana ka eona le morena oa eona matsohong a Baiseraele; a e bolaya ka bohale ba lerumo, le batho bohle ba neng ba le ho yona; ha a ka a dumella motho ho sala teng; empa a etsa ho morena wa hae jwalokaha a entse ho morena wa Jeriko.
31Joale Joshua a tloha Libna hammoho le Baiseraele bohle ba ea Lakishe ’me ba hloma liahelo khahlanong le eona ’me ba e loantša.
32Jehova a nehelana ka Lakishe matsohong a Baiseraele, ’me ba e hapa ka letsatsi la bobeli ’me ba bolaea le batho bohle ba neng ba le ho eona ka bohale ba sabole, feela joalokaha a ile a etsa ka Libna.
33Yaba Horame, morena wa Gesere, o futuhela Lakishe; Joshua a mmolaya le setjhaba sa hae, ho fihlela a se na motho.
34Joshua a tloha Lakishe, a ya Eglone, a ena le Baiseraele bohle; mme ba o thibella, ba o lwantsha.
35Ba e hapa letsatsing leo ’me ba e hlōla ka bohale ba sabole, ’me a otla meea eohle e neng e le ho eona letsatsing leo ka thohako, feela joalokaha a ile a etsa ka Lagishe.
36Joshua a tloha Eglone hammoho le Baiseraele bohle ho ea Hebrone; mme ba e lwantsha.
37Ba e hapa ’me ba e bolaea ka bohale ba sabole, le morena oa eona le metse eohle ea eona le meea eohle e neng e le ho eona; a se ke a siya motho, jwalokaha a ile a etsa ho Eglone; empa a e otla ka thohako, le meya yohle e neng e le ho yona.
38Joshua a kgutlela Debiri, a ena le Baiseraele bohle; mme a e lwantsha.
39A e hapa hammoho le morena oa hae le metse eohle ea hae; ba ba bolaya ka bohale ba lerumo, ba rohaka le meya yohle e neng e le teng ho yona; o ne a se na motho; A etsa joalo ka Hebrone, le Debiri le morena oa teng; joalo ka ha a entse le Libna le morena oa eona.
40Joshua a hlola naha yohle e maralla, le e ka nqa borwa, le ya phula, le ya didiba, le marena wohle a teng;
41Joshua a ba hlola ho tloha Kadeshe-Barnea ho ea Gaza le naheng eohle ea Goshene ho ea fihla Gibeone.
42Joshua a hapa marena ao ’ohle le linaha tsa ’ona hang-hang, hobane Jehova, Modimo oa Iseraele, o ne a loanela Iseraele.
43Joshua le Baiseraele bohle ba nang le yena ba kgutlela diahelong tse Gilgale.
