Zosua 18

1 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za mago'a mopama omerite'za Sailo kumate omeritru hu'za, atruma hu'za mono'ma hu seli nona ki'naze.

Ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli labuthana eShilo laselimisa ithente lokuhlangana khonapho. Ilizwe lalethwa ngaphansi kombuso wabo,

2 Hianagi Israeli naga'pintira 7ni'a naga nofi'mo'za mopa erisanti ohare'nazageno,

kodwa kwakulokhu kulezizwana zako-Israyeli eziyisikhombisa ezazingakemukeli ilifa lazo.

3 Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamo mopa ko tami'neanki, na'anku avega anteta mani'neta ufreta mopa e'norize?

Ngakho uJoshuwa wathi kwabako-Israyeli, “Lizakuma okwesikhathi esingakanani lingakathathi ilizwe uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alinike lona na?

4 Hanki mago'mago naga nofipintira 3'a vene'ne hu hamprizmantenke'na nagra hu zamantesuge'za vu'za ana mopa inankna mopao ome nege'za, mago mago'mo'ma erisantima haresia avamente avon tafepi krenente'za ete'za nagrite eri'za eho.

Khethani amadoda amathathu esizweni sinye ngasinye. Ngizawathuma ukuthi ayehlola ilizwe abeseloba ngesimo salo, kusiya ngelifa lesizwana ngasinye. Azaphenduka kimi.

5 Hagi tamagra mopa 7ni'afi refko huntenkeno, Juda naga'mo'za sauti kaziga zamagra'a mopafi manisage'za, Josefe naga'mo'za noti kaziga zamagra'a mopafi mani fatgo hugahaze.

Lizakwaba umhlaba ube yizigaba eziyisikhombisa. UJuda uzaqhubeka eselizweni lakhe eningizimu njalo indlu kaJosefa iselizweni layo enyakatho.

6 Anama hutetma ana 7ni'a mopamofo naneke'a avon tafepi kretetma, nagrite eritma enke'na mago mago nagamo'a ina mopa erigahifi, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo avure satu zokagoreta iza mopa erigahifi kegahune.

Ngemva kokuba selibhale izimo zezigaba eziyisikhombisa zelizwe, lizilethe kimi lapha njalo ngizalenzela inkatho phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.

7 Na'ankure Livae naga'mo'za mopa e'ori'nazanki, Anumzamofo eri'zama erisnafinti erisantiharegahaze. Hagi Gati nagaki, Rubeni naga'ene, Manase nagara amu'nompinti refko hazage'za, Jodani timofo kantu zage hanati kaziga, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zami'nea mopa eri'naze.

Kodwa abaLevi kabayikuzuza lutho phakathi kwenu, ngoba umsebenzi wobuphristi kuThixo yilifa labo. Njalo uGadi, uRubheni lengxenye yesizwe sikaManase sebathola ilifa labo eceleni elingasempumalanga yeJodani. UMosi inceku kaThixo wabanika lona.”

8 Hagi mopamofo agema'ama avontafepi krente vahe'mo'za otizageno, Josua'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, ana maka mopafi vutma vararetma ketetma, inankna mopa me'nefi agi agenkea avompi krentetetma ete nagrite Sailo enke'na, Ra Anumzamofo avure satu zokagore'na, ina mopa zamigahifi ka'neno.

Kwathi amadoda engena indlela esiyahlola umhlaba, uJoshuwa wawalaya wathi, “Hambani liyehlola umhlaba beselibhala isimo sawo. Emva kwalokho beseliphenduka kimi, khona ngizalenzela inkatho lapha eShilo phambi kukaThixo.”

9 Hige'za zamagra anantetira atre'za vu'za ana mika mopa ome vano hu'za kete'za, ana moparamimofo nanekea avontafepi krente'naze. Ranra kumatmina agateore ana maka 7ni'afima regitagi'naza mopa ke vagarete'za, Josua'ma kuma'ma anteno Sailoma mani'nere ete'za e'naze.

Ngakho amadoda asuka adabula phakathi kwelizwe. Abhala isimo salo emqulwini, idolobho ngedolobho, ezigabeni eziyisikhombisa, asephindela kuJoshuwa esihonqweni seShilo.

10 Anante Sailo kumate Josua'a Ra Anumzamofo avure satu zokago reno keteno, anante Israeli vahe'mokizmia nagate nofite huno mopa refko huno zami'ne.

UJoshuwa wawenzela inkatho eShilo phambi kukaThixo, njalo lapho wabela ilizwe kwabako-Israyeli kusiya ngokwehlukaniswa kwezizwana zabo.

11 Hanki Benzameni naga'mo'zama nagate nofite hu'zama mopama refko hu'za eri'nazana, Juda naga'ene Josefe naga'mokizmi mopamofo amu'nozmifi me'nea mopa erisantihare'naze.

12 Noti kaziga mopazmimofo agema'amo'a Jodani tinteti agafa huteno vuno, Jeriko noti kaziga me'nea agonaramimofo asoparega vuno, agatereno zage ufre kaziga me'nea agonaramimpi ufreno ka'ma mopafi Bet Aveni uhanati'ne.

13 Anantetira mopamofo agema'amo'a rugitagino fenkamu sauti kaziga Luzi (menina Betelie nehaze) ran kumatega ne'onse agonarami me'nerega uramiteno, vuno sauti kaziga Bet Horon rankuma'mofo fenka kaziga tava'oma'are mago agonamofo agofetu me'nea rankuma Atarot Ada uhanati'ne.

Usuka lapho wawuchaphela emthezukweni weningizimu weLuzi (okutsho iBhetheli) usehlela e-Atharothi-Ada eqaqeni eliseningizimu ngaphansi kweBhethi-Horoni.

14 Hagi anantetira mopamofo agema'amo'a rukrahe huno ana agonamofo zage ufre kaziga Bethoroni vu'ne.

Umngcele wehla waya ewatheni lentaba ekhangelane leSigodi seBheni-Hinomu, enyakatho yeSigodi seRefayi. Waqhubeka usehla eSigodini seHinomu ulandela umthezuko wedolobho lamaJebusi usiya e-Eni Rogeli.

17 Hanki anantetira mopamofo agema'amo'a rukrahe huno noti kaziga vuno En-Semesi uhanatiteno, vuvava huno Adumimi agonarega avugosama hunte'nere Geliloti kumate uhanatiteno, anantetira vuvava huno Rubeni nemofo Bohani havere urami'ne.

Wasubhoda usiya enyakatho, waya e-Eni Shemeshi, waqhubeka usiya eGelilothi ekhangele uMkhandlu we-Adumimu, wehla phansi usiya elitsheni likaBhohani indodana kaRubheni.

18 Anantetira mago'ene mopamofo agema'amo'a vuvava huno noti kaziga Bet Araba me'nea agonarega vuteno, vuno Jodani tima enevia agupofi urami'ne.
