1 Hagi kuma'ma eri havizama hanafintira mago'zana e'oritfa hiho huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli nagara zmasami'neana, zamagra Agri kea eritre'za amagera onte'naze. Juda naga nofipinti nera Akanina Kami kasentegeno, Kamina Zimri kasentegeno, Zimrina Zera kasentegeno hu'nea ne'mo Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli nagara e'oriho huno'ma hunagru'ma huzmante'nea zana e'rinegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.
Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphambuka ngesiphambeko ngokuqalekisiweyo. Ngoba uAkani indodana kaKarmi indodana kaZabidi indodana kaZera owesizwe sakoJuda wathatha kokuqalekisiweyo; ulaka lweNkosi lwaselubavuthela abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
2 Hagi Jerikoma mani'nazareti Josua'a mago'a vahera huzmantege'za Ai kumate vu'naze. Ana kumara Bet-aven kuma tavaonte, Betel kumamofo zage hanati kaziga me'negeno, amanage huno huzmante'ne, frakita vuta ana kumara ome afureta keho. Hige'za kema hiaza hu'za Ai kumara ome afure'za ke'naze.
UJoshuwa wasethuma abantu besuka eJeriko besiya eAyi eliseduze leBeti-Aveni empumalanga kweBhetheli, wakhuluma kibo esithi: Yenyukani liyehlola ilizwe. Abantu basebesenyuka bayihlola iAyi.
3 Hanki ana vahe'mo'za vute'za eza Josuana amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze, rama'a vahera zamatrege'za Ai kumate vahera hara ome huozamanteho. Na'ankure rama'a vahera omani'nazanki, ana maka vahera huzmantenka zamazeri amuhoa osunka, 2 tauseni'o 3 tauseni'a vahe'naza huzmantege'za vu'za hara ome huzmanteho.
Basebebuyela kuJoshuwa bathi kuye: Kakungenyuki bonke abantu; kakwenyuke phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezimbili loba phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezintathu ukutshaya iAyi. Ungadinisi bonke abantu ngokuya khona, ngoba balutshwana.
4 Anante 3 tauseni'a vahe naza mareriza Ai kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera zamahe'za zamagene rage'za fre'za e'naze.
Kwasekusenyukela khona abavela ebantwini amadoda aphosa abe zinkulungwane ezintathu; abaleka phambi kwamadoda eAyi.
5 Ai vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe'ma zamagenema re'nazana, Ai rankumamofo kahanteti agafa hute'za, zamagene re'za agonaregati urami'za havema nefragazare urami'naze. Ana zupa 36si'a Israeli vahera zamahe frizageno Israeli naga'mo'za tusi'a koro hu'naze.
Lamadoda eAyi atshaya phose amadoda angamatshumi amathathu lesithupha, axotshana lawo phambi kwesango aze afika eShebarimi, awatshayela ekwehleni. Ngakho inhliziyo yabantu yancibilika yaba ngamanzi.
6 Josua'a ana zanku antahintahi hakare nehuno, kukena'a tagato nehuno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga avugosaregati umseno mani'negeno kinaga se'ne. Hagi miko Israeli kva vahe'mo'za Josua'ma hiaza nehu'za zamagra zamanunte kugusopa eri'za nefre'za, Josua'ene zmasunku nehu'za mani'nageno vuno kinga se'ne.
UJoshuwa wasedabula izigqoko zakhe, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi kwaze kwahlwa, yena labadala bakoIsrayeli, bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.
7 Hanki anante Josua'a amanage hu'ne, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamoka kagra Jodani timofo kama kaziga Amori vahe'mo'za tazeri haviza hanazegu tavrenka e'nampi? Tagrama timofo kantu kazigama manisune hutama hu'nontegama manusina, amanahu zana forera osigeta knare huta manusine.
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Maye Nkosi Jehova! Ubachaphiseleni lokubachaphisa lababantu iJordani ukusinikela esandleni samaAmori ukusibhubhisa? Kungathi ngabe seneliswa sahlala ngaphetsheya kweJordani!
8 Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za ha' vahezmimofo zamagoro rukrahe hu'zma atre'za fre'za azanki, nagra na'ane hu'na Ra Anumzamoka hugahue?
O Nkosi, ngizakuthini, emva kokuthi uIsrayeli esephendule intamo ezitheni zakhe?
9 Hanki Kenani vahe'mo'zane ama ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za ama anazamofo kema nentahi'za tagrira tavazagikagi'za tahe fanane hanageno, ama mopafina tagia omanegahie. Hanki kagri rankagima huhavizama osnagura kagra na'a hugahane?
Ngoba amaKhanani labo bonke abakhileyo elizweni bazakuzwa, basihanqe, baliqume ibizo lethu lisuke emhlabeni. Pho, uzalenzelani ibizo lakho elikhulu?
10 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka mopafina kavugosaregatira masetenka mani'nane, otio.
INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Sukuma wena, uweleni kanje ngobuso bakho?
11 Hanki kotazana ko huvempa hu'na, Jeriko kumapima me'nea zantamina nagrike zanki maka eri havizama hiho hu'na huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'noana, Israeli naga'mo'za keni'a rutagre'za kumi hu'naze. Zamagra mago'azana musufase'za, zamagra'a fenozampi erinte havia hu'naze.
UIsrayeli wonile; njalo baseqile isivumelwano sami engabalaya sona, bathethe futhi kokuqalekisiweyo, njalo bebile, baqamba amanga futhi, yebo bakubekile empahleni zabo.
12 E'ina hu'negu Israeli naga'mo'za oti hanaveti'ne'za ha' vahe'zaminena hara osu'za, rukrahe hu'za ha' vahe'zmi koro fre'naze. Hanki eri haviza hiho hu'nama hunagru'ma huramante'noa zantamima erihavizama osnazana, Nagra tamagranena omanitfa hugahue.
Ngalokho abantwana bakoIsrayeli babengelakuma phambi kwezitha zabo, baphendula umhlana phambi kwezitha zabo, ngoba beqalekisiwe. Kangisayikuba lani uba lingabhubhisi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.
13 Otinka Israeli vahera zamazeri agru nehunka zamasamio, zamagra'a zamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure okina Ra Anumzamo'na tamagrane eme keaga hugahie. Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo'na amanage nehue, maka eri havizama hiho hu'noa zantamina eri'za e'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagra ana zantamina eritre hana hutetage ha' vahetamia hara hu zamagateregahaze.
Sukuma, ngcwelisa abantu, uthi: Zingcweliseleleni ikusasa; ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Kukhona okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwakho, Israyeli; ungeke ume phambi kwezitha zakho lize likhuphe okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.
14 Hagi oki nanterana maka'motma eme atru hutetma taisi zokago reta kenkeno, ina nofipinti Ra Anumzamo'a huhamparigahie ana nofipintira nagate nagate etere nehanageno Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nia nagapinti magoke magoke vene'ne etere hiho.
Ngakho ekuseni lizasondezwa ngezizwe zenu; kuzakuthi-ke isizwe iNkosi ezasibamba sizasondela ngensendo, losendo iNkosi ezalubamba luzasondela ngezindlu, lendlu iNkosi ezayibamba izasondela ngabantu.
15 E'ina hanageno'a maka'zama eri haviza hihoma hu'noa zantamima erino e'nesimo'a eama hanigeta, anamofona, agri'ene naga'ane ana maka zama'anena tevefi krerasageho. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzamo'nema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'naza kea rufutagino Israeli vahera tusi'a zamagaze eri'zami'ne.
Kuzakuthi-ke lowo ozabanjwa lokuqalekisiweyo uzatshiswa ngomlilo, yena lakho konke alakho, ngoba eqe isivumelwano seNkosi, langoba enze ubuphukuphuku koIsrayeli.
16 Higeno Josua'a nanterampi otino Israeli vahera kehige'za nofite nofite neazafinti, Juda naga nofi zamazeri'ne.
UJoshuwa wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wenza uIsrayeli wasondela ngezizwe zakhe; lesizwe sakoJuda sabanjwa;
17 Anante Josua'a Juda naga nofira zamavareno Ra Anumzamofonte e'ne, ana higeno Zera naga zamazeri fore hige'za ana nagapintira vene'ne'age'za neage'za Zabti azeri'ne.
wasesenza usendo lwakoJuda lusondele, wabamba usendo lwakoZera; wenza usendo lwakoZera lusondele ngabantu; uZabidi wasebanjwa;
18 Hagi anante Zabti nagapinti vene'neneraminke ageno Josua'a zamazeri otiteno, anampinti Akani avazu hu'ne. Hagi Akanina Karami kasentegeno, Karamina Zapti kasentegeno, Zaptina Zera kasente'ne. Hagi Zera'a e'i Juda naga nofipinti ne' mani'ne.
wasesenza indlu yakhe isondele ngabantu; uAkani, indodana kaKarmi, indodana kaZabidi, indodana kaZera, owesizwe sakoJuda, wasebanjwa.
19 Anante Josua'a Akaninkura amanage hu'ne, Ne'nimoka Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzana ra agi neminka agi'a ahentesga huo. Hanki kagra na'a hu'nampi nasmio, nagri navufina mago'zana erifrara okio.
UJoshuwa wasesithi kuAkani: Ndodana yami, ake unike iNkosi udumo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, uvume kuye; ake ungitshele lokho okwenzileyo, ungangifihleli.
20 Anante Akani'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Tamage hu'na nagra Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'noe. Hagi nagra na'a hu'nofi kagrira kasmigahue.
UAkani wasephendula uJoshuwa wathi: Isibili mina ngonile eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli. Ngokunje langokunje ngikwenzile.
21 Jeriko rankuma'ma ha'ma huzamagatere nompintira, kogeno mago knare zantfa hu'nea Babiloniti za'za kukenane, mago'a silva kna'amo'a 4'a kilogi, golia kna'amo'a mago kilo hu'neana kogeno nanunu hige'na, eri'na e'noe. Ana zantamina erina seli noni'afi mopa kafi'na silva antete'na ana agofetu mago'azana ante'na asente'noe.
Kwathi ngibona phakathi kwempango isembatho seBhabhiloni esihle esisodwa, lamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amabili, lolimi lwegolide olulodwa osisindo salo singamashekeli angamatshumi amahlanu, ngakuhawukela, ngakuthatha, khangela-ke, kuthukuziwe emhlabathini phakathi kwethente lami, lesiliva singaphansi kwakho.
22 Higeno Josua'a kato vahe huzmantege'za zamagare'za vu'za Akani seli nompima ome kazana, Akani'ma hu'nea kante anteno ana silva frakino fenamete megeno, mago'azana anaga me'nege'za ome ke'naze
UJoshuwa wasethuma izithunywa, zagijima zaya ethenteni, khangela-ke, kwakufihliwe ethenteni lakhe, lesiliva singaphansi kwakho.
23 Hagi zamagra ana maka zana ana seli nompintira eri'za Josuane maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavuga Ra Anumzamofo avure eme herafi'naze.
Bakukhupha phakathi kwethente, bakuletha kuJoshuwa lebantwaneni bonke bakoIsrayeli, bakuthululela phambi kweNkosi.
24 Anante Josua'ene ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Zera nemofo Akanina nevre'za, ana silvama, zaza kenama, ana golima, ne'mofavre naga'ama, mofane naga'ama, ana maka bulimakao afu'ama, tonki'ama, sipisipine, seli noma'ane ana maka zama'anena eri'za, Akorie nehaza agupofi avre'za vu'naze.
UJoshuwa loIsrayeli wonke ekanye laye basebemthatha uAkani indodana kaZera, lesiliva, lesembatho, lolimi lwegolide, lamadodana akhe, lamadodakazi akhe, lenkabi zakhe, labobabhemi bakhe, lezimvu zakhe, lethente lakhe, lakho konke ayelakho, bakwenyusela esihotsheni seAkori.
25 Anante Josua'a Akanina amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka tagrira hazenkefina tavrentane? Ra Anumzamo menina kagri'enena hazenkea kamigahie. Anante maka Israeli vahe'mo'za have kanonteti Akanine ana maka naga'anena zamahe frite'za zamagri'ene ana maka zazminena tevefi kre fanane hu'naze.
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Usihlupheleni? INkosi izakuhlupha lamuhla. LoIsrayeli wonke wamkhanda ngamatshe; babatshisa ngomlilo, babakhanda ngamatshe.
26 Ana hute'za rama'a haveraminu Akani agofetura ante hihi hu'naze. Ana haveramina meninena me'ne. Anante Ra Anumzamofoma arimpa ahe'zamo'a amne hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu ana kumamofo agi'a Akori agupoe huno me'nege'za meninena agi'a nehaze.
Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu yamatshe kuze kube lamuhla. Ngalokho iNkosi yaphenduka ekuvutheni kolaka lwayo. Ngakho ibizo laleyondawo labizwa ngokuthi yisihotsha seAkori, kuze kube lamuhla.
