UJoshuwa wayelaye-ke abantu esithi: Lingamemezi, loba lizwakalise ilizwi lenu; kungaphumi lizwi emlonyeni wenu kuze kube lusuku engizalitshela ngalo ukuthi limemeze; beselimemeza.
11 Anante Josua'a pristi nagara huzamantege'za Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia erisga hu'za, magoke zupa Jeriko rankumara kagite'za, atre'za kuma'ma omente'za mani'nafi ana kenagera emase'naze.
Ngakho umtshokotsho weNkosi wawubhoda umuzi, uzingelezela kanye; basebesiza enkambeni, balala enkambeni ebusuku.

16 Hagi 7nire'ma kamanegi'za, pristi vahe'mo'za ufe nerazageno Josua'a vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, ra tamageru rutma ivimo agazamo hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo Jeriko rankumara ko tamagri tamazampi ante'ne.
Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sesikhombisa, abapristi bavuthela impondo, uJoshuwa wasesithi ebantwini: Memezani, ngoba iNkosi ilinikile umuzi.
17 Hanki Jeriko kuma'ene anampima me'nea zantamia ana maka Ra Anumzamofontega mago ofa amiankna hutma eri haviza hugahaze. Hianagi afure vahe'ma huzmantoke'zama e'naza naga'ma zamavare frakinegu monko a' Rehapune noma'afima mani'naza naga'anenke zamahe ofriho.

18 Hianagi kva hiho, Jeriko kumapintira magore hutma mago'zana e'oritfa hiho. Mago'zama erisutma Israeli naga'ma nemanuna kumapina hazenke avreta efregahaze.
Kodwa lina sibili zigcineni kokuqalekisiweyo, hlezi lizenze abaqalekisiweyo nxa lithatha kokuqalekisiweyo, lenze inkamba yakoIsrayeli ibe yinto eqalekisiweyo, liyihluphe.

21 Mareri'za vea'ene mofavrene zamahehana nehu'za bulimakaone, sipisipine, tonkinena, anazanke hu'za zamahehana hu'naze.
Batshabalalisa konke okusemzini, kusukela kowesilisa kusiya kowesifazana, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, kuze kube senkabini lemvini lobabhemi, ngobukhali benkemba.
22 Anante Josua'a ko'ma afure netrema mopama ome ke'ogu'ma huzanante'nea netre'na zanasamino, tanagrama huvempa huntena'a kante antetna, ana monko a'mofo nompi umarerita agri'ene naga'anena ome zamavareta atiramiho huno huznantene.
Lakulawomadoda amabili ayeyehlola ilizwe uJoshuwa wathi: Ngenani endlini yowesifazana oliwule, likhuphe kuyo owesifazana lakho konke alakho, njengokufunga kwenu kuye.
23 Hanki ana tare afure ne'tremokea umarerike Rehapune nererane nefane, asarehe'ine ana maka naga'a zamavare'za Israeli naga'ma seli noma emegi'za mani'naza kumamofo megi'a eme zamante'naze.

24 Anante ana ran kuma'ene ana maka'zana teve tagintazageno te'ne. Hianagi silvaretiro goliretiro bronsiretiro aenireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamina eri'za Ra Anumzamofo nompima zagoma nentafi ome ante'naze.
Basebewutshisa umuzi ngomlilo lakho konke okwakukiwo; kuphela isiliva legolide lezitsha zethusi lezensimbi bakufaka kokuligugu kwendlu yeNkosi.
25 Hagi Rehapune ana maka naga'a Josua'a ozmahe zamatrege'za mani'naze. Na'ankure tare afure netrema Josua'ma huznantegekema Jeriko kumate'ma vakeno'ma Rehapu'ma zanavre fra'ma ki'negu anara hu'ne. Hanki Rehapu nagapinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vahera Israeli nagapine meninena mani'naze.
Ngakho uRahabi iwule, lendlu kayise, labo bonke ayelabo, uJoshuwa wabayekela bephila; wahlala phakathi koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla, ngoba wafihla izithunywa uJoshuwa ayezithume ukuhlola iJeriko.
26 Anante Josua'a hanavenentake kazusi kea amanage huno vea nagara zamasami'ne, Mago ne'mo'ma ama Jeriko rankumama azeri otisia ne'mofona, Ra Anumzamo'a azeri haviza hugahie. Hanki agrama eri'zama eri agafama hania knazupa, zage ne'mofavre'a frisigeno, kuma keginamofo kafaramima hagentesia zupa amite'namo'a frigahie. (1 King 16:34)
UJoshuwa wabafungisa esithi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu phambi kweNkosi osukuma akhe lumuzi iJeriko. Uzawusekela ngezibulo lakhe, amise amasango awo ngecinathunjana lakhe.
27 Ra Anumzamo'a Josua e'ne mani'negu agri agimo'a anama mani'naza mopafina haruharu huno vuno eno hu'ne.
Ngokunjalo iNkosi yaba loJoshuwa, lodumo lwakhe lwaba selizweni lonke.
