1 Hagi ananteti'ma rukrahe'ma huta Basanima vunaku'ma nevunkeno'a, Basani kini ne' Ogi'a mika sondia vahe'a zamavreno hara eme hurante'naku Edrei kumate e'ne.
“Sasuka sasesiphenduka sakhwela njalo sisekele umgwaqo oya eBhashani, kanti u-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lamabutho akhe wonke wayesihlangabeza ukuze alwe lathi e-Edreyi.
2 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Mosesega, Oginkura korora osuo. Na'ankure agri'ene, sondia vahe'ane mopa'anena Nagra ko kagri kazampi ante'noankinka, Hesbonima nemania Amori kini ne' Sihonima hu'nanaza hunka, agri'ene mika vea'enena zamahe vagaregahane.
UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Ungamesabi ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.’
3 Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'a taza higeta Basani kini ne' Ogine mika vahe'anena avreramigeta magore huta ozmatreta, maka zamahe vagare'none.
Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wanikela u-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani lamabutho akhe wonke ezandleni zethu. Sababulala bonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo.
4 Hagi Basani kini ne' Ogi'ma ana knafima 60'a ranra kumatmima miko Argob mopafima me'negeno kegava hu'nea kumatamine mopanena magore huta otreta, maka zamaheta hanare vagare'none.
Ngalesosikhathi sathumba wonke amadolobho akhe. Akusalanga dolobho lalinye esingalithumbanga phakathi kwawo wonke angamatshumi ayisithupha, umhlubulo wonke welizwe le-Agobhi, ilizwe lika-Ogi eBhashani.
5 Hagi e'i ana mika kumazmia tusinasi vihu hugagine'za, kaha hagente'za ana kahana aenireti resihuntetere hu'naza kumatami zamaheta nehanareta, rama'a kumatamine, vihuzmia omane neonse kumazmia hara huzmanteta eri'none.
Wonke amadolobho la ayevikelwa ngemiduli ephakemeyo langemigoqo yokuvala amasango lemijabo yokunxiba, kanti njalo yayiminengi eminye imizi eyayingahonqolozelwanga ngemiduli yokuvikela.
6 Hagi Hesboni kumate'ma nemania Amori kini ne' Sihonima hu'nonaza huta, Basani kini ne'ene mika vene'nene, a'nanene mofavreramine mika zamahe vagare'none.
Satshaya sabhuqa konke, kwaba njengalokhu esakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni, sabhidliza wonke amadolobho, amadoda, abesifazane kanye labantwana.
7 Hianagi maka zagagafa zamine mago'a zantaminena ana ha'ma hu'na kumazmifintira eri'none.
Kanti-ke izifuyo zonke kanye lesakuthumba emadolobheni abo sazithathela kwaba ngokwethu.
8 Ana knafima mopama eri'nonana, tare Amori vahe'mokizmi kini ne'tremofo zanazampintira mopaznia, Jodani timofona zage hanati kaziga Arnoni tinteti erigafa huno vuno, Hermoni agonare vu'nea mopa ana mika eri vagare'none.
Ngakho ngalesosikhathi kulawo makhosi womabili ama-Amori sathumba ilizwe elisempumalanga yeJodani, kusukela ezindongeni zase-Arinoni kuze kuyefika ezintabeni zaseHemoni.”
9 Saidoni vahe'mo'za Hermoni agonagura Sirioni agone hu'za nehazageno, Amori vahe'mo'za Seniri agone hu'za nehaze.
(IHemoni ibizwa ngokuthi yiSiriyoni ngamaSidoni, kanti-ke ama-Amori ayibiza ngokuthi yiSeniri.)
10 Hagi avapafima maka me'nea kumatamine, maka Giliati mopareti vuno Sareka kuma'ene Edrei kuma'ma Basani me'nakeno Ogi'ma kegavama hu'nea rankumatrena eri vagare'none.
“Sathumba wonke amadolobho emagcekeni, kanye lawo wonke eGiliyadi, laseBhashani yonke kusiya eSalekha lase-Edreyi, engamadolobho ombuso ka-Ogi eBhashani.”
11 (Maka Refaimi ranra vahepintira Basani kini ne' Ogike'za agrake henkarfana fri'ne. Hagi agrama frige'zama erinte'naza sipa ainireti tro hu'neankino, upa'amo'a 2 mita higeno, zaza'amo'a 4 mita hu'ne. Hagi ana sipa Raba kumate me'nege'za, Amoni vahe'mo'za negaze.)
(U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani nguye yedwa owayesesele emthonselaneni wamaRefayi. Umbheda wakhe wawungowensimbi njalo umude ukwedlula izingalo ezilitshumi lantathu kanti ububanzi bawo buzingalo eziyisithupha. Wona ulokhu useRabha yase-Amoni.)
12 Ana'ma eri'nona mopa Arnoni agupomofo atumparega Aroeri kumateti agafa huno vuno, Giliati mopamofona amu'nompinti refko huno mago kazigane anampima me'nea ranra kumataminena, Rubeni naga'ene Gati nagamokizmi zami'noe.
“Phakathi kwelizwe esalithumbayo ngalesosikhathi, nganika abakoRubheni labakoGadi ilizwe elisenyakatho yase-Aroweri endongeni zase-Arinoni, kuhlanganisa lengxenye yelizwe lamaqaqa aseGiliyadi, kanye lamadolobho akhona.
13 Hagi Giliati mopama amu'nompinti'ma refko hutre'noa mago kaziga mopane, Basani kini ne' Ogima kegavama hu'nea mopanena, Manase nagara amu'nompinti refko hu'ne'na, magokaziga maniza naga zami'noe. Hagi maka Argopu mopa Basani kaziga me'nea mopagu Refaimi vahe mopae hu'za nehaze.
EleGiliyadi lonke kanye lalo lonke eleBhashani, lombuso ka-Ogi, ngalinika abayingxenye yesizukulwane sikaManase.” (Umhlubulo wonke welizwe le-Agobhi ngaseBhashani lalisaziwa ngokuthi yilizwe lamaRefayi.
14 Hagi Manase nagapinti fore hu'nea kva ne' Jaeli'a Argopu mopa Basani kazigati agafa huno vuno, Kesuri vahe'ene Makati vahe mopa atupama eme atreteti maka mopa eri vagareteno, ana moparamina Havot Jaire huno agra'a agire asamre'nege'za meninena ana agi nehaze.
UJayiri, owosendo lukaManase, wathatha sonke isiqinti esisukela emangweni we-Agobhi kusiya emngceleni weGeshuri lamaMahakhathi; saba yisiqinti esabizwa ngaye, okokuthi lalamuhla iBhashani ibizwa ngokuthi yiHavothi-Jayiri.)
15 Hagi Giliati mopamofo noti kaziga'a Makiri naga zami'noe.
“IGiliyadi ngayinika uMakhiri.
16 Hagi ana Giliati mopamofona Sauti kaziga mopa Rubeni naga'ene, Gati nagamokizmi zami'noe. E'ina mopamo'a Giliatitira vuno Arnoni agupofi uhnatiteno, ete rukrahe huno Amoni vahe mopa atupare Jaboku tinkenare uhanati'ne.
Kodwa abakoRubheni labakoGadi ngabanika isiqinti selizwe elisuka eGiliyadi lisiya ezindongeni zase-Arinoni (phakathi laphakathi kwendonga kungumngcele) kusehla kusiya eMfuleni uJabhoki, ongumngcele wama-Amoni.
17 Hagi Galili hagerinkenati'ma vuno fri'nea hageri ankenare'ma vigeno, Jodani timo'ma zage fre kaziga rugitagigeno, zage hanati kaziga Pisga agonamo rugitagigeno, Jodani agupoa ana nagamoke'za eri'naze.
Umngcele wentshonalanga kuyiJodani ngase-Arabha, kusukela eKhinerethi kusiya oLwandle lwase-Arabha (uLwandle lweTswayi) ngaphansi ekwehleni okungapha ngePhisiga.
18 Hagi anankna zupa Jodani timofo kantu kazigama manisaza nagara amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a ama mopa tamagra eriho huno tami'ne. Hagi maka ha'ma huga vahe'mota ha'zantamina eri'neta tina takaheta, ugagota huta tamafuhe'ina hara ome huzamaza hiho.
Ngalilaya ngalesosikhathi ngathi: ‘UThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ukuphile lelilizwe, lithathe libe ngelakho. Kodwa wonke amadoda asaqinile, ahlomele ukulwa, kumele achaphe kuqala phambi kwabafowenu abako-Israyeli.
19 Hianagi a'netamine, mofavretamine zagagafatamimo'za zamavega ante'za Nagrama zami'noa kumatamimpi manigahaze. (Hagi rama'a zagagafa ante'nazana nagra antahi'noe.)
Kanti-ke abafazi benu, abantwana lezifuyo zenu (ngiyazi lifuyile kakhulu) bangazihlalela emadolobheni engilinike wona,
20 E'ina huta hara huta tamafuhe'ina zamaza nehanage'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamagri'ma Jodani timofo kantu kazigama zami'nea mopa eritesageta, tamagri'ma tami'noa moparera emanigahaze.
kuze kuthi uThixo aphumuze abafowenu njengalokhu akwenzileyo kini, kanti labo njalo bazabe sebelithethe ilizwe abaliphiwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ngaphetsheya kweJodani. Ngemva kwalokho, lonke ngamunye kuzamele libuyele eziqintini engilinike zona.’”
21 Hagi ana zupa nagra Josuana amanage hu'na asami'noe, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tare kini ne'trente'ma hu'nea zana hago kagra'a kavufinti ke'nane. E'ina hu'kna'za amama unefraza moparamimpi kini vahetmina huzmantegahie.
“Ngalesosikhathi ngalaya uJoshuwa ngathi: ‘Usuzibonele ngamehlo akho konke uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akwenze emakhosini amabili la. UThixo uzakwenza khonokho kuzozonke izizwe oya kuzo.
22 E'ina moparamimpi nemaniza vahetminkura korora osiho, na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a tamaza huno hara huzamantegahie.
Ungazesabi lezozizwe, uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzakulwela yena uqobo lwakhe.’
23 Ana zupa nagra hankaveti'na nunamuna hu'na Ra Anumzamofona amanage hu'na antahige'noe,
Ngalesosikhathi ngacela kuThixo ngathi:
24 Ra Anumzana kagra miko'zama kegavama hu'nana Anumzane, kagra agafa hunka eri'za vahe kamo'na himamu hankaveka'a naveri hane, na'ankure monafine ama mopafinena kagrama nehanankna zama huga anumzana omani'ne.
‘Oh Thixo wobukhosi, usuqalisile ukutshengisa inceku yakho ubukhulu bakho lesandla sakho esilamandla amakhulu. Kambe nguphi unkulunkulu ezulwini loba emhlabeni ongenza lokhu okwenzileyo lemisebenzi emikhulu oyenzayo?
25 Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki, natrege'na Jodani tina takahe'na kantu kaziga knare mopane, knare agona mopane Lebanoni mopanena ome ka'neno.
Ngivumela ngiye khona ngiyebona ilizwe elingaphetsheya kweJodani, ilizwe elihle lamaqaqa kanye leLebhanoni.’
26 Hianagi tamagrama ke'ama ontahi'naza zanku, Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira arimpa ahenanteno amanage hu'ne, ha'e! Keka'ama antahi'zankura navresrahianki mago'anena ama anankea osuo hu'ne.
Kodwa ngenxa yenu uThixo wangithukuthelela akazange athande ukungizwa. UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Kwanele, ungabe usakhuluma kimi futhi ngalindaba.
27 Hagi Pisga agonare marerinka zage hanati kazigane, zage fre kazigane ruga raga kaziga omege emege huo. Na'ankure antu ana mopafina takahenka ovugahane.
Khwela phezu kwePhisiga ukhangele entshonalanga, enyakatho, eningizimu lasempumalanga. Ukhangele ulibone ngawakho amehlo ilizwe njengoba ungasoze uchaphe uJodani.
28 Hianagi Josuana azeri hankavetike nesaminka huntegeno, Israeli vahera zamavareno Jodani tina takaheno vino. Na'ankure agra Israeli vahetera vugota hu'neno, kagrama kana mopa refko huno zamigahie.
Kodwa beka uJoshuwa esikhundleni, umkhuthaze njalo umqinise, ngoba uzakhokhela lababantu abachaphise njalo uzakwenza balithathe lelolizwe ozalibona libe yilifa labo.’
29 Ana higeta Beti-Peori tavaonte me'nea agupofi mani'none.
Ngakho sahlala esihotsheni phansi kweBhethi-Pheyori.”
