< Iosua 11 >

1 A LOHE mai la o Iabina, ke alii o Hazora, alaila, hoouna ae la oia ia Iobaba, i ke alii o Madona, a i ke alii o Simerona, a i ke alii o Akesapa,
Kwathi uJabhini inkosi yeHazori isizwa lokhu yathumela ilizwi kuJobhabhi inkosi yeMadoni lasemakhosini eShimroni le-Akhishafi,
2 A i na'lii ma ka aoao akau o na mauna, a ma na papu ma ka aoao hema o Kinerota, a ma ke awawa, a me kahi kiekie o Dora, ma ke komohana,
lasemakhosini enyakatho ayesezintabeni ze-Arabha eningizimu yeKhinerethi emawatheni amaqaqa entshonalanga kanye laseNafothi Dori entshonalanga;
3 A i ko Kanaana ma ka hikina, a ma ke komohana, a i ka Amora, a i ka Heta, a i ka Pereza, a i ka Iebusa, ma ka mauna; a i ka Heva malalo ma Heremona, ma ka aina o Mizepa.
lakumaKhenani empumalanga lentshonalanga; lakuma-Amori, amaHithi, amaPherizi lamaJebusi elizweni elilamaqaqa; kanye lakumaHivi ngaphansi kweHemoni esabelweni seMizipha.
4 Hele mai la lakou, a me ko lakou poe koa pu a pau, he poe kanaka nui loa, e like me ke one ma kahakai ka nui, he poe lio kekahi me na halekaa he nui loa.
Baphuma lamabutho abo wonke lenani elikhulu lamabhiza lezinqola, ibutho elikhulu, ubunengi lingangetshebetshebe okhunjini lolwandle.
5 A pau keia poe alii i ke akoakoa mai, hele mai la lakou a hoomoana pu iho la ma na wai o Meroma, e kaua i ka Iseraela.
Wonke amakhosi la abambana asesakha izihonqo ndawonye eManzini aseMeromi, ukulwa labako-Israyeli.
6 I mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, Mai makau oe ia lakou, no ka mea, ke hiki i keia hora i ka la apopo, na'u no e haawi aku ia lakou a pau e make imua i ke alo o ka Iseraela; a e oki oukou i ke olona o ko lakou mau lio, a e puhi aku i ko lakou halekaa i ke ahi.
UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Ungabesabi, ngoba ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizabanikela bonke kwabako-Israyeli sebefile. Uzaquma imisipha yamabhiza abo njalo utshise izihonqo zabo.”
7 Hele aku la o Iosua a me na kanaka kaua a pau pu me ia, a hoohikilele aku la kona hoouka ana ia lakou, ma na wai o Meroma.
Ngakho uJoshuwa lebutho lakhe lonke bahlangana labo mathupha eManzini eMeromi wasebahlasela,
8 Haawi mai la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ka Iseraela, a pepehi aku la ka Iseraela ia lakou, a hahai aku la ia lakou, a hiki i Zidonanui, a i Mizerepotemaima, a i ke awawa o Mizepe, ma ka hikina. Luku aku la ia lakou, aole i waiho i kekahi koena o lakou.
uThixo wabanikela esandleni sika-Israyeli. Babanqoba, baxotshana labo baze babafikisa eSidoni Enkulu kusiya eMisirefothi-Mayimi, leSigodini seMizipha empumalanga kwaze kwasala kungelamuntu ophilayo.
9 Hana aku no hoi o Iosua ia lakou e like me ka Iehova kauoha ana ia ia; a oki iho la i ke olona o na lio, a puhi aku la i na halekaa i ke ahi.
UJoshuwa wenza kibo lokho ayekulaywe nguThixo: Waquma imisipha yamabhiza abo njalo watshisa izinqola zabo.
10 Ia manawa, hoi mai la o Iosua a hoopio iho la i Hazora, a pepehi ae la i ko laila alii i ka pahikaua, no ka mea, i ka manawa mamua, o Hazora no ke poo o ia mau aupuni a pau.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa waphenduka wabuyela emuva wathumba iHazori wasehlasela inkosi yakuleyo ndawo ngenkemba. (IHazori yayiyisigodlo sayo yonke imibuso leyo.)
11 Luku ae la no ia i ko laila kanaka a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua, hooki loa iho la ia lakou, aole i koe kekahi e hanu ana. Puhi aku la oia ia Hazora i ko ahi.
Wonke umuntu owayephakathi kwayo wabhujiswa ngenkemba. Bababhubhisa baphela, abaze batshiya lutho oluphefumulayo, watshisa iHazori ngokwayo.
12 Hoopio iho la o Iosua i na kulanakauhale a pau o ia poe alii, a me ko laila alii no hoi, a luku aku la ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua; hooki loa iho la ia ia lakou, e like me ke kauoha ana mai o Mose, ke kauwa a ke Akua.
UJoshuwa wathumba wonke amadolobho esikhosini lamakhosi awo wawahlasela ngenkemba. Wawabhubhisa wonke, njengokulaya kukaMosi inceku kaThixo.
13 Aka, o na kulanakauhale a pau i noho malie i ko lakou puu iho, aole i puhi aku ka Iseraela i kekahi o lakou, o Hazora wale no ka Iosua i puhi aku ai.
Kukanti-ke u-Israyeli kazange atshise loba yiwaphi amadolobho ayakhelwe emadundulwini ngaphandle kweHazori, eyatshiswa nguJoshuwa.
14 Lawe ae la na momo a Iseraela i ka waiwaipio a pau o ia poe kulanakauhale, a me na bipi, i waiwai no lakou. Aka, o kanaka a pau, ka lakou i luku aku ai ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, a oki loa iho la, aole lakou i waiho i kekahi e hanu ana.
Abako-Israyeli bathatha zaba ngezabo zonke impahla ababezithumbile okwakugoqela izifuyo zamadolobho la bahamba lakho kodwa bonke abantu bababhubhisa ngenkemba baphela du, bengatshiyi lutho oluphefumulayo.
15 E like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai i kana kauwa ia Mose, pela no Mose i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua, pela no hoi o Iosua i hana aku ai, aole loa ia i haalele i kekahi o na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
Njengoba uThixo walaya inceku yakhe uMosi, uMosi laye walaya uJoshuwa, uJoshuwa wakwenza lokho: katshiyanga lutho lungenziwanga ezintweni zonke uThixo owazilaya uMosi.
16 Hoopio iho la o Iosua ia mau aina a pau ma na mauna, a me na wahi a pau loa ma ka aoao hema, a me ka aina a pau o Gosena, a me ke awawa, a me ka papu, a me ke kuahiwi o ka Iseraela, a me ko laila awawa;
Ngakho uJoshuwa wathatha ilizwe lonke: ilizwe lamaqaqa, yonke iNegebi, isabelo sonke seGosheni, amawatha asentshonalanga, i-Arabha, lezintaba zako-Israyeli lamawatha azo,
17 Mai ka mauna mai o Halaka, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Seira, a hiki i Baalegada, ma ke awawa o Lebanona, malalo iho o ka mauna o Heremona. Hoopio no ia i ko laila poe alii a pau, a pepehi aku la ia lakou a make loa.
kusukela entabeni yeHalakhi, ephakama ngokuya eSeyiri, kusiya eBhali-Gadi esiGodini seLebhanoni ngaphansi kwentaba iHemoni. Wathumba wonke amakhosi awo, wawehlula, wawabulala.
18 Kaua loihi loa o Iosua me ia poe alii.
UJoshuwa walwa impi lawo wonke amakhosi okwesikhathi eside.
19 Aole loa kekahi kulanakauhale i hoolealea mai i na mamo a Iseraela, o ka Heva wale no, o ka poe i noho ma Gibeona. Pio no na aina e a pau loa, i ke kaua ana.
Ngaphandle kwamaHivi ayehlala eGibhiyoni, kalikho idolobho loba elilodwa elenza isivumelwano sokuthula labako-Israyeli, kwabawathumba empini.
20 Na Iehova no i hoopaakiki i ko lakou naau e hele i ke kaua me ka Iseraela, i anai loa aku ai oia ia lakou, i ole hoi e loaa ia lakou ka lokomaikaiia'ku, i pau no hoi lakou i ka lukuia, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
Ngoba kwakunguThixo owenza inhliziyo zawo zaba lukhuni zafuna ukulwa impi lo-Israyeli, ukwenzela ukuthi enelise ukubachitha baphele, ebabhubhisa okungelazwelo, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
21 Ia manawa, hele ae la o Iosua, a luku aku la i ka poe Anakima, ma na mauna, ma Heberona, ma Debira, a ma Anaba, a ma na mauna o Iuda a pau, a ma na mauna a pau o Iseraela. Luku loa aku la o Iosua ia lakou, me ko lakou mau kulanakauhale.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa waphuma wawabhubhisa ama-Anakhi elizweni lamaqaqa: kusukela eHebhroni, eDebhiri le-Anabhi, kusukela elizweni lonke lamaqaqa akoJuda. UJoshuwa wabhubhisa wababhuqa bona kanye lamadolobho abo.
22 Aole i koe kekahi o na Anakima, ma ka aina o na mamo a Iseraela; a ma Gaza hoi, a ma Gata a ma Asedoda, ua koe no.
Akula ma-Anakhi asala esabelweni sabako-Israyeli; ngaphandle kweGaza iGathi le-Ashidodi lapho okwasila abanye bakhona.
23 Hoopio iho la o Iosua i ka aina a pau, e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose. A o ka mea i ili mai na ka Iseraela, haawi mai la o Iosua, ma ko lakou papa, maloko o ko lakou ohana. A hoomaha iho la ka aina i ke kaua.
Ngakho uJoshuwa wathumba ilizwe lonke njengoba uThixo walaya uMosi, waselinika abako-Israyeli njengelifa kusiya ngokwahlukaniswa kwezizwana zabo. Ngakho-ke ilizwe laphumula ekulweni izimpi.
