Ngakho abako-Israyeli bathuma uFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi elizweni leGiliyadi kuRubheni, uGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase.

14 Hanki Finiasi'enena 10ni'a vugagota kva vahetamine huzmantazage'za vu'naze. Ana vahera tauseni'a Israeli vahepima mago'mago naga'nofi'ma mani'nafintira vugagota hu'naza vahe'age, mago'mago huhamprintetere hazage'za vu'naze.

15 Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'ma hu'za Gileati kumate'ma mani'nare e'za amanage hu'za eme zamasmi'naze,

Ekuyeni kwabo eGiliyadi, kuRubheni loGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase bathi kubo:

16 ana maka Ra Anumzamofo kevu naga'mo'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Na'ahigeta amanahu tamavu tamavara huta Ra Anumzamofona antahi omi'naze. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofona tamefira humita ke'a rutagreta menina ama kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzamofoma ha'marente'zana tamagra tro hu'naze.

“Umphakathi wonke kaThixo uthi: ‘Kungani lisuke langathembeki kuNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli ngale indlela? Kungani lilahle uNkulunkulu lizakhela i-alithari njengokumhlamukela khathesi.

17 Kora Peori kumate'ma, mani'neta kumi hunkeno Ra Anumzamo'a mago kri atregeno vahe'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'neane, hagi meninena ana kumimo'a tatreno ovu'ne. Tamagrama antahi'zana ana hazenke zamo'a knare hu'nefi, ana hu'negeta mago'ene ru hazenkea nehazo?

Kambe ukona kukaPheyori kakwanelanga kithi na? Kuze kube lamhla kasikazihlambululi esonweni leso, lanxa umkhuhlane wake wahlasela isizwe sikaThixo!

18 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamofona tamamefira hunemize, menima Ra Anumzamofoma Agri kema ontahita ha'ma rentesageno'a, okina Agra ana maka Israeli vahe'mota rimpa aherantegahie.

Selibalekela uThixo na? Nxa lingahlamukela uThixo lamhla, kusasa uzazondela isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli:

19 Hagi mopa tamimo'ma Anumzamofo avure'ma havizama hu'ne hutama hanuta, tamagra eta tagri mopafima Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nere, Agri mopa fatgofi tagrane emaniho. Hanki tamagra na'a hu'negeta Ra Anumzamofona ke'a antahi nomita tagrira tatreta vuta, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo Kresramana vu itama ko'ma me'neana atreta, ru kresramna vu ita tro nehaze.

Nxa umhlaba elilawo ungcolisiwe wozani emhlabeni kaThixo lapho ithabanikeli likaThixo elimi khona beselisabelana umhlaba lathi. Kodwa lingahlamukeli uThixo kumbe thina ngokuzakhela i-alithari lenu, ngaphandle kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma i'o hu'nea zantamima, Zera nemofo Akani'ma Jeriko rankumapinti'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma ru tagreno'ma eri'nea kumi'amofo kna'a agrakera ofri'neanki mago'a nema agri kumimofo kna'ama eri'za fri'naza zana tamagera okaniho.

Lapho u-Akhani indodana kaZera aze angathembeki ezintweni ezingcwelisiweyo, isijeziso kasehlelanga isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli yini? Kayisuye yedwa owafela isono sakhe.’”

21 Anante Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a amu'nompinti refkoma hu'naza Manase naga'mo'za oti'za Israeli vahepima nagate nofite'ma ugagota hu'naza vahera amanage hu'za zamasmi'naze,

Ngakho uRubheni, uGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase baphendula abakhokheli bezinsendo zako-Israyeli bathi:

22 hankavenentake Anumzana Ra Anumzana Agrake mani'ne, magoke hankavenentake hu'nea Ra Anumzamo Agra antahi'ne, hu'negu Israeli vahe'motanena antahiho, tagrama Ra Anumzamofo kema rutagrege, Agri kasegema ovariri nesunketa menina oratreta tahe friho.

“USomandla, uNkulunkulu uThixo! USomandla uNkulunkulu uThixo! Uyazi! Njalo u-Israyeli kabe lolwazi! Nxa lokhu bekuyikuhlamukela kumbe ukuqholozela uThixo, lingasisindisi lamhlanje.

23 Hanki tagrama Ra Anumzamofoma tamefi humi kazigati'ma kresramna vu ofama huge, witi ofa huge, mago tarimpa hu ofama hu kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nesunkeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a tagrira tazeri haviza hugahie.

Nxa sazakhela i-alithari lethu ukwenzela ukubalekela uThixo lokunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yamabele, kumbe ukunikela ngeminikelo yokuthula kulo, uThixo ngokwakhe kasijezise.

24 Hianagi tagrama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, henkama tamagri tamagehe'za, tagri tageheinku hu'za, tagri Ra Anumzantera monora huontege, amagera ontegahazema hu'za hu'zanku koro huta tro hu'none.

Hatshi! Sakwenza sisesaba ukuthi kwelinye ilanga izizukulwane zenu zingathi kwezethu, ‘Lilani loThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli?

25 Hanki tagri'ene, tamagri'ene amu'nompina Ra Anumzamo Jodani tinte mopamofo agema'a ante'neankita, tamagra Rubeni naga'ene Gati nagara tagri naga omani'naze nehu'za, Anumzana tamagri Anumza omani'neankita monora huonteho hu'za hu'zanku koro huta ana ita tro hu'none.

UThixo sewenza iJodani ibe ngumngcele phakathi kwethu lani lina maRubheni lamaGadi! Kalilasabelo kuThixo.’ Ngakho izizukulwane zenu zingenza ukuthi ezethu ziyekele ukwesaba uThixo.

26 E'ina agafare amanage hu'none, kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nonana tevefima kresramna vu ofa hu ito, mago'a zama kresramna vu ofa hu ita trora osu'none.

Yikho sathi, ‘Kasilungiseni sakhe i-alithari, kodwa hatshi eleminikelo yokutshiswa kumbe imihlatshelo.’

27 Hagi tamagri'ene tagri'enena ama anazamo'a mago avame'za mane'neno, tagehezama henkama fore'ma hanaza vahera zamaveri huno, tagranena Ra Anumzana Agriteke monora hunentone hugahaze. Ana hanige'za tamagranena Ra Anumzamofo avurera tevefi kresramna vu ofane, ruzahu ruzahu ofaramine, rimpa fru ofanena mono noma'afina hunentaze hugahaze. Ru ete henka tamagri tamagehe'za tagri tagehe'inku hu'za tamagra Ra Anumzamofo vahe omani'naze huzanku anara hu'none.

Ngeyinye indlela, kuzakuba yibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani lezizukulwane ezizalandela, ukuthi sizekhonza uThixo endlini yakhe engcwele ngeminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yethu kanye leyokuthula. Ngakho kwelakusasa izizukulwane zenu kazisoze zithi kwezethu, ‘Kalilasabelo kuThixo.’

28 E'ina hu'negu tagra amanage huta hu'none, tamagrama amanahu kema tagritero, tagehe'inte'ma hanageta amanage huta zamasmigahune huta hu'none, Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu itama tafahezama tro hazageno me'neana keho, mago kresramna vu ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofa hu ita trora osu'nonanki tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina, ama ana itamo'a mago avame'za me'ne huta hugahune.

Njalo sathi, ‘Bangavele batsho lokhu kithi kumbe kuzizukulwane zethu, sizaphendula sithi: Khangelani emfanekisweni we-alithari likaThixo, elakhiwa ngobaba, hatshi eleminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, kodwa njengobufakazi phakathi kwethu lani.’

29 Tagrama ama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huge, witi ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofama hu ita trora osu'none. Tagra e'inama hanuta, Ra Anumzamofona tamefi humita ke'a rutagregahune. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo itama seli mono nomofo avugama me'nea kresramna vu itamofo noma eri'nigure huta trora huonte'none.

Kukhatshana kithi ukuthi sihlamukele uThixo simfulathele lamhla ngokwakha i-alithari leminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yamabele lemihlatshelo, ngaphandle kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu elimi phambi kwethabanikeli lakhe.”

30 Hanki pristi ne' Fineasi'ene Israeli vahepima mago mago naga nofite'ma ugagota hutere hu'naza vahe'mo'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, Manase naga'mo'zama hazankema nentahi'za, zamagra zamarimpa fru nehu'za muse hu'naze.

Kwathi uFinehasi umphristi labakhokheli besizwe, abakhokheli bezinsendo zako-Israyeli, sebezwe okwakutshiwo nguRubheni, uGadi loManase bathokoza.

31 Hanki anante pristi ne' Eleazari nemofo Finiasi'a, Rubenima, Gatine, Manase nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, menina tagrama keama'ma hunana Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'ne. Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefira huonte'naze, e'inama hazana maka Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo azampintira tagu'vazize.

UFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi, wathi kuRubheni, uGadi loManase, “Lamhla siyazi ukuthi uThixo ulathi, ngenxa yokuthi kalizange liyekele ukwethembeka phambi kukaThixo kuloludaba. Khathesi selihlenge abako-Israyeli esandleni sikaThixo.”

32 Ana keagama hute'za pristi ne' Eleaza nemofo Finiasi'ene Israeli nagapi nagate nofite ugagota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'za ete Kenani e'za Rubenine, Gati, naga'enema keagama hu'naza zamofo agenkea Israeli vahera Gileati kumate mani'nage'za eme zamisami'naze.

UFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi, labakhokheli babuyela eKhenani bevela emhlanganweni wabo labakoRubheni labakoGadi eGiliyadi basebebika kwabako-Israyeli.

33 Hanki anazamofo agenkema Israeli naga'mo'zama nentahi'za muse hu'za Anumzamofo ra agi nemi'za, Rubenine, Gati naga'ma nemaniza mopama ha' huzamanteta mopazamima eri haviza hugahunema hu'naza ke'a eri atre'naze.

Bathokoza ukuzwa umbiko basebedumisa uNkulunkulu. Kabasakhulumanga njalo ngokuya empini yokubalwisa ukwenzela ukutshabalalisa ilizwe lapho abakoRubheni labakoGadi ababehlala khona.

Njalo abakoRubheni labakoGadi banika i-alithari lelibizo: UBufakazi Phakathi Kwethu ukuthi uThixo unguNkulunkulu.
