1 Mosese'a mago'ene Israeli vahera nanekea zamasmino,
UMosi waphuma wayakwethula lamazwi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli wathi:
2 Nagra 120'a kafu hu'na ozafaroanki'na mago'enena vugota hu'na tamavre'na vugara osugeno, Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Jodani tina takahenka kantu kaziga ovugosane huno nasami'ne.
“Sengileminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili yokuzalwa angisenelisi ukulikhokhela. UThixo usethe kimi, ‘Awusayi kuchapha iJodani.’
3 Hianagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a Agra'a vugota huramanteno tina takaheno kantu kaziga nevuno, maka ana mopafima mani'nea vahe'tamina zamahe hana hanigeta, ana mopazmia erigahaze. Hagi Rana tamagri Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante Josua'a vugota hurmanteno, tamavreno tina takaheno vugahie.
UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ozachapha phambi kwenu. Uzabhubhisa lezizizwe phambi kwenu, lina lizathatha ilizwe lazo libe ngelenu. UJoshuwa laye uzachapha ahambe phambi kwenu, njengokutsho kukaThixo.
4 Hagi Amori vahe kini ne'tre Sihonine Oginema hu'neaza huno Rana tamagri Anumzamo'a ana mopafi vahera zamahehna hugahie.
UThixo uzakwenza lokho akwenza kuSihoni lo-Ogi, amakhosi ama-Amori, ababhubhisa wabatshabalalisa lamazwe abo.
5 Hagi ana mopafi vahera Ramo'a tamazampi zamavarente'na, hihoma hu'na tamasamua zana ana vahera huzamantegahaze.
UThixo uzabanikela kini, lina-ke kufanele lenze lokho engililaye khona.
6 Hagi oti hankavetita mani'neta ana vahetminkura korora huta tamagogogura osiho. Na'ankure Rana tamagri Anumzamo'a, tamagrane nevuno vugota huramanteno vugahie. Hagi Agra amefira huoramige, tamatrege osugahie.
Qinani libe lesibindi. Lingesabi lithithibale ngenxa yabo, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uhamba lani, kayikulitshiya njalo kayikulifulathela.”
7 Hagi anante Mosese'a Israeli vahe'mokizimi zamavufi Josuana kehuno amanage huno asami'ne, Josuaga korora osunka oti hankavetio. Na'ankure ama vahera zamavarenka Ramo'ma zamigahue huno'ma zamagehe'ima huhampri zamante'nea mopafi vunka ana mopa omeri zamisanke'za erisantiharegahaze.
Ngakho uMosi wasebiza uJoshuwa wasesithi kuye phambi kwakhe wonke u-Israyeli, “Qina njalo iba lesibindi, ngoba kumele uhambe lalababantu kulelolizwe uThixo afunga kubokhokho babo ukubanika, njalo uzamele ubabele lona ubahlukanisele libe yilifa labo.
8 Hagi korora huge, kahirahikura osuo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ogatregosianki, kagri'ene mani'neno vugota huganteno vugahie.
UThixo ngokwakhe uhamba phambi kwakho njalo uzakuba lawe; kasoze akutshiye loba akufulathele. Ungesabi; ungapheli amandla.”
9 Anante Mosese'a ana kasege kreno Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempa kema me'nea vogisima eneriza Livae pristi vahetamine, Israeli ranra kva vahe'taminena zami'ne.
UMosi wawuloba phansi umthetho wawuqhubela abaphristi, amadodana abaLevi, ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, kanye labadala bonke bako-Israyeli.
10 Ana nehuno Mosese'a zamasmino, Mika namba 7 kafumofo atumparega vahe'mofo zama eri'nesia zama eteno nemino, seli nompima manita e'naza zamofo antahimita musenkasema hu knarera,
UMosi wasebalaya wathi, “Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngomnyaka wokwesulelana izikwelede, ngoMkhosi weziHonqo,
11 Rana tamagri Anumzamofo avugama mono hunantegahazema hania kumapima maka Israeli vahe'tmima etruma hanaza knare ama ana avontafera nentahisageta hampriho.
ngesikhathi abako-Israyeli bonke bezokuma phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azabe eyikhethile, lizawubala lumthetho phambi kwabo bezizwela.
12 Hagi maka vene'nema, a'ne'ma mofavreramima, ruregati'ma tamagri kumapima emani'naza vahe'taminena kehutru huta ama avontafepima me'nea kasegea hamprinke'za nentahi'za, Rana tamagri Anumzamofona korora hunente'za maka tra kea kva hune'za avaririho.
Lizabuthanisa abantu, amadoda, abafazi labantwana, kanye labezizweni abahlala emadolobheni enu ukuze bazizwele bafunde ukwesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu balandele ngonanzelelo wonke amazwi alumthetho.
13 Ana huta nehamprinke'za ontahi'ne'naza mofavretamimo'za nentahi'za Rana tamagri Anumzamofona korora huntegahaze. Hagi Jodani tima takaheta kantu kazigama umani'naza mopafina, ama ana zana huvava hiho.
Abantwababo, abangawaziyo lumthetho, kumele bawuzwe njalo bafunde ukwesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngasosonke isikhathi lisahlezi kulelilizwe elizachapha uJodani ukuba liyelithatha.”
14 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena amanage huno asmi'ne, Kagrama fri'nana knamo'a hago kofta hianki, Josuana kehunka atruhu seli mono nompi vuge'na eri'zana ami'neno. Anagema higekea Mosese'ene Josuakea atruhu seli mono nontega vu'na'e.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Usuku lokubhubha kwakho selusondele. Biza uJoshuwa lize lobabili ethenteni lokuhlangana, lapho engizamgcobela khona.” Ngakho uMosi loJoshuwa bahamba bayazethula ethenteni lokuhlangana.
15 Anama vakeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a vimago hampompi eramino atruhu seli mono nompi emanigeno, ana hampomo'a kafante atrureno me'ne.
UThixo wasebonakala ethenteni ngensika yeyezi, njalo iyezi lelo lema phezu komnyango wethente.
16 Hagi Ramo'a amanage huno Mosesena asami'ne, menina frinka kagehe'mo'zane manigasa hugahane. E'i anama hanankeno'a ama vahe'mo'za natre'za amama unefraza mopafi, ru anumzantminte monora ome huntegahaze. Hagi Nagrira zamagena hunenami'za zamagranema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'noana rutagregahaze.
UThixo waphinda wathi kuMosi: “Ususiyaphumula laboyihlo, kanti-ke lababantu bazahugeka masinyazana bakhonze onkulunkulu balelilizwe abazangena kulo. Bazangifulathela bephule isivumelwano engasenza labo.
17 E'i ana'ma hanageno'a, Nagrira tusi narimpa ahenke'na zamatre'na namefi hunezami'na ozamagesuge'za havizantfa hugahaze. Hagi rama'a havi zamo'ene hazenke zamo'ene zamagritera e'nige'za amanage hugahaze, Anumzana amu'nontifina omaninegeno hazenke zamo'a tavatera ne-efi? hu'za hugahaze.
Ngalolosuku ngizabathukuthelela ngibafulathele; ngizabafihlela ubuso bami, njalo bazabhujiswa. Bazakwehlelwa zingozi ezinengi lobunzima phezu kwabo, njalo ngalolosuku bazabuza bathi: ‘Kambe akusikuthi ingozi lezi zisehlela kubi kangaka ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu kakho phakathi kwethu na?’
18 Hagi tamage hu'na e'i ana knarera rukrahe hu'na ozamagegahue. Na'ankure zamagra maka havi avu'ava nehu'za ru anumzantaminte monora ome hunte'naze.
Ngiqinisile ubuso bami ngizabufihla ngalolosuku ngenxa yobubi babo ngokuphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu.
19 E'ina hu'negu amama kasamisua zagamemofo nanekea krenka Israeli vahera rempi huzamio. Henka ama ana zagame'mo me'neno keaga huzamantegahie.
Lobani lingoma liyifundise abako-Israyeli ukuze bayihlabele ibe ngufakazi wami wokumelana labo.
20 Na'ankure tumerimo'ene amirimo'enema avite'nea mopama zamagehe'ima zamigahue hu'nama huhampri zamante'noa mopafina Nagra zamavare'na vugahue. E'ina mopafi zamavare'na vanuge'za maka zampina knare nehu'za, ne'zana ne'zamu hugahazanagi, Nagrira zamefi hunenami'za ru anumzantami monora ome hunente'za, zamagranema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'noana ruhantagigahaze.
Ngizakuthi sengibangenise elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju, ilizwe engalithembisa okhokho babo ngesifungo, bathi nxa sebedle basutha baphumelela, bazaphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu babakhonze, bangiphike njalo bephule isivumelwano sami.
21 Hagi ana'ma hanageno'a havi zamo'ene, hazenke zamo'enema zamagrite'ma e'nigeno'a, ama zagame'mo avame'za me'nena ana zagamema nehanu'za zamagesa antahigahaze. Na'ankure fore hunante anante'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za ama ana zagamera zamagera okani huvava hugahaze. Na'ankure zamigahue hu'nama hu'noa mopafima ome hanaza zamavu'zamava zana Nagra menina ko antahi'na ke'na hu'noe.
Kuzakuthi nxa sebehlaselwa zingozi lobunzima, ingoma le izakuba yibufakazi bokumelana labo ngoba ayiyikukhohlakala lakuzizukulwane zabo. Ngiyakwazi okulula kubo ukuba bakwenze, lanxa ngingakabangenisi elizweni engibathembise lona ngesifungo.”
22 Ana higeno Mosese'a ana knazupage ana zagamera kreno Israeli vahera rempi huzami'ne.
Ngakho uMosi wabhala leyongoma mhlalokho wahle wayifundisa abako-Israyeli.
23 Hagi anante Ramo'a Nuni nemofo Josuana huhamprinenteno amanage huno eri'zana ami'ne, korera osunka oti hankavetio! Na'ankure Israeli vahe'ma zamigahue hu'nama huhampri zamante'noa mopafina, kagra Israeli vahera zamavarenka ufregahane. Anama nehananke'na Nagra kagrane manigahue.
UThixo wanika uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni umlayo othi “Qina ube lesibindi, ngoba uzangenisa abako-Israyeli elizweni engabathembisa lona ngesifungo, njalo mina ngokwami ngizakuba lawe.”
24 Hagi Mosese'ma ana kasegema avontafepima krente vagareteno'a,
Ngemva kokuba uMosi eseqedile ukuloba ogwalweni amazwi alowomthetho kusukela ekuqaleni kusiya ekucineni,
25 huhagerafi huvempa kemofo vogisima zafama huno vu Livae nagara amanage huno huzmante'ne,
walaya abaLevi ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo wathi:
26 Ama'i kasege avontafera erita Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempa vogisimofo asoparega antenkeno me'neno, Israeli vahe'mokizmi kefo zamavu'zmava eriama hu'za meno.
“Thathani iNcwadi yoMthetho le liyifake eceleni komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, izahlala lapha njengofakazi walokho elikwenzayo.
27 Na'ankure Nagra tamantahina ke'na hunoankita, keontahi hankave antahintahine vahe mani'naze. Hagi antahiho, meninena amama ofri'na mani'norera Ra Anumzamofona ha'renentazankita, fri'nugeta menima nehaza zana agatereta ha'rentegahaze.
Mina ngiyakwazi ukuhlamuka kwenu lokuba ngontamozilukhuni kwenu. Nxa kade lihlamukela uThixo ngisaphila njalo ngiselani, kuzakuba nganani ukuhlamuka kwenu nxa sengifile!
28 E'ina hu'negu mika Israeli ranra vahe'ene, vugota eri'za vahe'enena kehuta emetru hanage'na, monane mopanena keha'ne'na tamagri'ma tamavumro'ma antesua nanekea monane mopanemokea antahigaha'e.
Buthanisani phambi kwami bonke abadala bezizwana zenu kanye lezikhulu zenu zonke ukuze ngethule lamazwi bezizwela nginxuse izulu lomhlaba ukuba kufakaze ububi babo.
29 Na'ankure Nagra tamantahina ke'na hu'noankita, nagrama fri'nugeta keontahi tamavutamava nehuta, nagrama avaririho hu'nama huramantoa kana atreta haviga avariri'nageno'a, havizamo tamagritera egahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'ava nehuta, havizama tro'ma hanaza zamo'a Ra Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahegahie.
Ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthi nxa ngingasekho sengifile lizaxhwala liphambuke endleleni engililaye yona. Ensukwini ezizayo, lizawelwa yingozi ngoba lizakwenza ububi phambi kukaThixo limvuse ulaka ngemisebenzi emibi yezandla zenu.”
30 Anante Mosese'a ama ana zagamera maka Israeli vahe'tmimo'za nentahizageno zamasami vagare'ne.
Ngakho uMosi wawaphinda amazwi engoma leyo kusukela ekuqaleni kusiya ekuphetheni ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli lilalele:
