UThixo wasesithi kuJoshuwa:
2 “Tun keiman Mose kana seipeh bangin Israel techun kiselna ding khopiho chu akilhendoh diovin seipehtan
“Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi baphawule amadolobho okuphephela njengokulilaya engakwenza ngoMosi,
3 ‘Koitabang hamkhat in mikhattou tupna mong umlouva ahilou leh hettoh louva ahin tha khah tah a ahileh athatpa chunga phulanom athipa sopiho khutna konna ajamlut nading kiselna khopi ho umding ahi.
ukuze wonke umuntu obulala omunye ngengozi hatshi ngabomo abalekele kulo ukuze aphephe esandleni somphindiseli wegazi.
4 Hiche khopiho khatpen’a hi ajamlut teng hiche mithatpahi khopi kelkot phunga upa ho masanga achungthu akiphondoh ding, amahon hichepa hi khopi sunga alutsah uva amaho komma achenthei nading agonpeh diu ahi.
Lapho ebalekela kwelinye lala amadolobho, kumele eme esangweni ledolobho abesesitsho ukuthi ukhala ngani ebadaleni balelodolobho. Abadala sebezamamukela-ke edolobheni labo besebemnika indawo yokuhlala phakathi kwabo.
5 Ijemtia athipa insung mite chu phula dinga ahungu leh lamkai hochun mithatpa chu amaho komma apehlut louding ahi, ajeh chu amapa chun tumasanga kinahna umlou chuleh tupna mong imacha umlouva khutsoiya anatha khah jeh ahi.
Nxa umphindiseli wegazi emlandela, akumelanga bamnikele lowo owetheswa umlandu ngoba kambulalanga ngabomo kumbe ngenhliziyo embi.
6 Ahinlah mithatpa chu hiche khopia chu umden ding, khopi chun achung thu akhol toh uva athu atandiu ahi, chuleh hiche thilso petna thempu chungnung natongpa hinlai sea hiche komma chu cheng ding ahi. Hijouteng chuleh ahung jamdohna khopi sung ain munna chu kilekit thei ding ahi.
Usezahlala kulelodolobho kuze kufike isikhathi sokuthonisiswa phambi kwebandla njalo kuze kufe umphristi omkhulu oyabe ephethe umsebenzi ngalesosikhathi. Lapho usengabuyela ngakibo, edolobheni abaleka kulo.”
7 Hicheho hi kiselna khopi hochu: Naphtali thinglhang gam'a din Galilee a um Kadesh, Ephraim thinglhang gammadin Sechem, Judah thinglhang gam'a din Kiriath-arba (Hebron tina),
Ngakho behlukanisa iKhedeshi eseGalile elizweni lamaqaqa koNafithali, iShekhemu elizweni lamaqaqa ko-Efrayimi leKhiriyathi Aribha (okutsho iHebhroni) elizweni lamaqaqa koJuda.
8 Jericho gallang Jordan vadung solama din hiche khopiho hi alhengdoh un ahi: Reuben phung phaicham gammang langa din Bezer; Gad phung mite gamsunga din Gilead na um Ramoth, Manasseh phung mite gamsunga din Bashan’a um Golan ahiuve.
Empumalanga yeJodani leJerikho baphawula iBhezeri enkangala esemagcekeni esizwaneni sikaRubheni, iRamothi eseGiliyadi esizwaneni sikaGadi, leGolani eseBhashani esizwaneni sikaManase.

Iloba ngubani owako-Israyeli kumbe omunye owezizweni ohlala phakathi kwabo owabulala omunye umuntu ngengozi wayengabalekela emadolobheni aqanjiweyo, aphephe ekubulaweni ngumphindiseli wegazi engakamiswa phambi kwebandla ukuba athonisiswe.
