Ngemva kokufa kukaMosi inceku kaThixo, uThixo wathi kuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, umsekeli kaMosi:
2 Musa jatichna osetho. Omiyo sani, in kod jogi duto, ikreuru mondo ungʼad Aora Jordan e piny makoro achiegni miyo jo-Israel.
“UMosi inceku yami usefile. Ngakho-ke, wena labantu bonke laba, lungiselelani ukuchapha umfula uJodani liye elizweni esengizalinika lona, abako-Israyeli.
3 Kamoro amora ma tiendu nonyon anamiu, kaka nasingora ni Musa.
Ngizalinika zonke izindawo lapho elizanyathela khona ngezinyawo zenu njengokuthembisa engakwenza kuMosi.
4 Gwengʼi nochakre e kuonde motwo nyaka Lebanon, kendo koa e aora maduongʼ, ma en Yufrate; piny mar jo-Hiti duto; nyaka chop e Nam Mediterania mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.
Ilizwe lenu lizasukela enkangala yeLebhanoni lasemfuleni omkhulu uYufrathe, ilizwe lonke lamaHithi, lize liyekhawula olwandle olukhulu entshonalanga.
5 Onge ngʼama noloyi e ndalo duto mar ngimani. Kaka ne an kod Musa, bende e kaka abiro bedo kodi; ok anaweyi kata jwangʼi.
Kakulamuntu ozenelisa ukumelana lani zonke insuku zokuphila kwenu. Njengoba ngangiloMosi, ngizakuba lawe; kangisoze ngikutshiye, kangisoze ngikudele.
6 “Bed motegno kendo gi chir; nikech ibiro telone jogi nyaka e piny mar girkeni mane akwongʼora ni kweregi ni namigi.
Qina ube lesibindi ngenxa yokuthi uzakhokhela abantu laba ukuze bayethatha ilizwe elilifa labo engafunga kubokhokho babo ukuthi ngizabanika lona.
7 Bed motegno kendo gi chir mogundho. Bed motangʼ mondo iluor chike duto mane jatichna Musa omiyi; kik ilokri korachwich kata koracham kiweyo chikegi, mano nomi ibed gi hawi kamoro amora midhiye.
Qina ube lesibindi. Ugcine yonke imithetho owayiphiwa nguMosi inceku yami, ungaze waphambuka kuyo uye kwesokunene kumbe kwesokhohlo ukuze uphumelele kuzozonke izindawo ozakuya kuzo.
8 Kik iwe Kitabu mar Chikni oa e dhogi; par wechene matut odiechiengʼ kod otieno, mondo mi ibed motangʼ kitimo gik moko duto mondik e iye. Mano biro miyo ibedo gi hawi e gimoro amora mitimo.
INcwadi yoMthetho le kayingasuki emlonyeni wakho, cabanga ngayo emini lebusuku ukuze unanzelele ukugcina konke okulotshwe kuyo. Ngokwena njalo uzaphumelela.
9 Par kaka asechiki. Bed motegno kendo gi chir. Kik iluor kendo kik chunyi nyosre; nikech an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi abiro bedo kodi kamoro amora midhiye.”
Angikulayanga na? Qina ube lesibindi, ungethuki njalo ungalahli ithemba, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzakuba lawe loba kungaphi lapho oya khona.”
10 Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jotend Israel niya,
Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa walaya iziphathamandla zabantu wathi:
11 “Dhiuru e kambi kendo unyis ji ni, ‘Ikuru gigeu mag lweny. Ndalo adek koa kawuono ubiro kalo aora Jordan gikae mondo udhi kendo ukaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kaka maru owuon.’”
“Dabulani phakathi kwezihonqo litshele abantu ukuthi, ‘Lungisani imiphako yenu. Ensukwini ezintathu kusukela lamhla lizachapha uJodani lapha ukuze lingene liyethatha ilizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu!’”
12 To joka Reuben, gi joka Gad kod nus mar dhood joka Manase, Joshua nowachonegi niya,
UJoshuwa wathi kwabakoRubheni, labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwana sikaManase,
13 “Paruru chike mane Musa jatich mar Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou, kowacho ni: ‘Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu miyou kar yweyo kendo osechiwonu pinyni.’
“Khumbulani umlayo uMosi inceku kaThixo alinika wona owokuthi: ‘UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzaliphumuza ngokulinika ilizwe leli.’
14 Mondeu, nyithindu kod kweth mag jambu nyalo dak e piny mane Musa omiyou yo ka wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan, makmana jou makedo duto, moikore gi gige lweny, nyaka uidh loka kutelo e nyim oweteu ma jo-Israel. Konyuru oweteu,
Amakhosikazi enu, abantwabenu lezifuyo zenu zingahlala elizweni elalinikwa nguMosi empumalanga yeJodani, kodwa ibutho lenu lonke, lihlome liphelele, kumele lichaphe ngaphambi kwabafowenu. Kuzamele lincedise abafowenu,
15 nyaka Jehova Nyasaye migi yweyo, mana kaka osetimoni, kendo nyaka gin bende gikaw mwandu mar piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu dhi miyogi. Bangʼ mano, unyalo dok kendo udagie pinyu owuon, mane Musa, jatich Jehova Nyasaye nomiyou bath aora Jordan ma yo wuok chiengʼ.”
uThixo aze abaphumuze, njengalokho alenzele khona lina, labo baze bathathe ilizwe lelo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu abanika lona. Ngemva kwalokho selingabuyela liyehlala elizweni lenu, uMosi inceku kaThixo alinika lona ngempumalanga yeJodani.”
16 Eka negidwoko Joshua niya, “Gimoro amora misechikowa wabiro timo, kendo kamoro amora mi iorowae wabiro dhiyoe.
Baphendula uJoshuwa bathi, “Konke osilaya khona sizakwenza, lalapho osithuma khona sizahamba.
17 Mana kaka ne waluoro Musa, bende e kaka wabiro luoroi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu bed kodi kaka nobedo gi Musa.
Njengalokhu salalela uMosi ngokupheleleyo, lawe sizakulalela. Sifisa ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho abe lawe njengoba wayeloMosi.
18 Ngʼato angʼata modagi winjo wachni kendo ok oluoro wecheni bende ok odewo chike mimiyogi, ibiro negi. Bed mana motegno kendo jachir!”
Yiloba ngubani ohlamukela ilizwi lakho njalo engalaleli lokho okutshoyo, lalokho oyabe ukulaya, kumele abulawe. Kumele uqine ube lesibindi!”
