Nanzi izizwe ezatshiywa nguThixo ukuze abahlole bonke abako-Israyeli ababengazibonanga izimpi eKhenani

2 Hagi Israeli vahe'ma efore hutere hu'za henkama esaza vahetami Ra Anumzamo'a ha'ma hanaza avu'avaza rempi huzaminaku Kenani mopafi vahera zamahenatitre vagaore'ne.

(wenza lokhu ukuba azifundise izizukulwane zako-Israyeli ukulwiwa kwezimpi lezo ezazingazange zikubone ukulwa ngaphambilini):

3 Ama'na kumatmimpi nemaniza vahetami zamatrege'za mani'naze. Faifu'a kumapima nemani'za Filistia vaheki, maka Kenani vaheki, Saidoni vaheki, Hivi vahe'ma Lebanoni agonamofoma Bal-Hermoniti'ma vuno Hamat kumate'ma uhanati'nea vahe'mokizmi ozamahe zamatrege'za mani'naze.

ababusi abahlanu bamaFilistiya, amaKhenani wonke, amaSidoni, lamaHivi ahlala ezintabeni zaseLebhanoni kusukela eNtabeni iBhali-Hemoni kusiya eLebho Hamathi.

4 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegea avaririgahazafi ovaririgosazafi huno Israeli vahe'ma rezamaheno kesigu Ra Anumzamo'a ana vahera zamatrege'za mani'naze.

Babetshiyelwe ukuhlola abako-Israyeli ukuba kubonakale ukuthi bayayilalela na imilayo kaThixo, ayeyinike okhokho babo ngoMosi.

5 E'ina hazageno Kenani vahe'ene, Hiti vahe'ene, Amori vahe'ene, Perisi vahe'ene Hivi vahe'ene, Jebusi vahe'mokizmi amu'nompi Israeli vahera mani'naze.

Abako-Israyeli babehlala phakathi kwamaKhenani, lamaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaHivi kanye lamaJebusi.

6 Ana'ma nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za zamagri mofa'ne ara e'neri'za, ete zamagra mofa'nea zamatrazage'za zamagri mofavreramintera vea omeneri'za unemrazageno, havi anumzazmirera monora ome hunte'naze.

Bathatha amadodakazi awo aba ngomkabo njalo bendisela amadodakazi abo emadodaneni awo, bakhonza labonkulunkulu bawo.

7 Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avufina kefo zamavu'zmava nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofona zamagekani nente'za, Bali havi anumzante'ene Asera havi anumzamofo amema'are monora hunte'naze.

Abako-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaThixo; bamkhohlwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo bakhonza oBhali labo-Ashera.

8 E'ina hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'tminkura tusi arimpa ahezamanteno Mesopotemia Kini ne' Kusan-risataimi azampi zamavarentegeno ha' eme huzamanteno zamazeri haviza nehuno, zamavareno kina ome huzmantege'za 8'a zagegafufi Kusan-risataimi kazokzo eri'za vahe umani'naze.

Ulaka lukaThixo lwavuthela abako-Israyeli waze wabanikela ezandleni zikaKhushani-Rishathayimi inkosi yase-Aramu Naharayimu, lapho abantu bako-Israyeli ababangaphansi kombuso wayo iminyaka eyisificaminwembili.

9 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofontega zamazama hinogura krafa hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a zamazama hu' nera, Kalepi negana Kenazi ne'mofo, Otnielina azeri oti'ne.

Kodwa ekukhaleni kwabo kuThixo, wabalethela umhlengi, u-Othiniyeli indodana kaKhenazi, umnawakhe kaKhalebi, owabakhululayo.

10 Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a agri'ene emani'negeno, Israeli vahe'mokizmi keaga refko hu kva vahera mani'ne. Hagi Otnieli'ma Mesopotemia vahe'ene ha' ome nehigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne' Kusan-risataimina azampi avrentegeno aheno hara azeri agatere'ne.

Umoya kaThixo wehlela kuye, wasesiba ngumahluleli wako-Israyeli waya empini. UThixo wanikela uKhushani-Rishathayimi inkosi ye-Aramu ezandleni zika-Othiniyeli, wamnqoba.

11 Ana higeno 40'a kafufina ha'huzana omanege'za, fru hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za mani'nazageno, Kenazi ne'mofo Otnieli'a fri'ne.

Ngakho ilizwe laba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi amane, u-Othiniyeli indodana kaKhenazi waze wafa.

12 Ete mago'ene Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avufina kefo avu'avara hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a Moapu kini ne' Eklonina hankavea amigeno Israeli vahera hara eme huzmagatereno kegava huzmante'ne. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofo avufina kefo zamavu'zamava hu'naze.

Abako-Israyeli baphinda benza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, kwathi ngenxa yokuthi babenze lobububi uThixo wanika u-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi amandla phezu kuka-Israyeli.

13 Hagi Ekloni'a Amoni vahe'ene Ameleki vahe'enena kehige'za azageno Israeli vahera hara ome huzamante'za tofegna zafamoke hu'nea Jeriko rankuma zamahe'za hanare'naze.

Esenze ama-Amoni lama-Amaleki amanyana laye, u-Egiloni wayahlasela u-Israyeli, basebethumba idolobho laMalala.

14 Hagi ana hazageno Israeli vahe'mo'za 18ni'a kafuzagefi Moapu kini ne' Ekloni kazokzo eri'za vahera mani'naze.

Abako-Israyeli babangaphansi kombuso ka-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi iminyaka elitshumi layisificaminwembili.

15 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamofontegama zamaza hinogu'ma krafagema hazageno'a, ha' vahe zamazampinti'ma zamazama hu' nera Benzameni nagapinti Gera nemofo hoga azane ne' Ehuti azeri oti'ne. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za kafure kafure'ma kini ne'ma takesi zagoma nemizaza huno Moapu kini ne' Ekloni ome ami'nogu ana zantamina Ehutina nemi'za huntazageno erino vu'ne.

Abako-Israyeli bakhala futhi kuThixo, wasebapha umhlengi u-Ehudi, indoda eyayilinxele indodana kaGera owakoBhenjamini. Abako-Israyeli bamthuma lesipho ku-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi.

16 Ana higeno Ehuti'a tarega kaziga asane bainati kazina zaza'amo'a 50'a sentemita hu'nea tro huno tamaga kaziga amote anakiteno za'za ke'na'a antanino refite'ne.

U-Ehudi wayenze inkemba esika inxa zombili eyayingaba yingalo lengxenye ubude bayo, ayibophela ethangazini lakhe lwesokudla ngaphansi kwezigqoko zakhe.

17 Hagi Ekloni'a ra avufgane ne' mani'neankino, Ehuti'a ana takesi zagone maka zantamina erino Eglonina ome ami'ne.

Wasethula isipho ku-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi, owayengumuntu oqatha kakhulu.

18 Hagi ana takesi zantamima amiteno'a, ana zantamima azama hu'za eri'za vu'naza vahera eme huzamantege'za vu'naze.

Emva kokuba u-Ehudi esesethule isipho, walaya abantu ababesithwele ukuba bazihambele.

19 Hianagi Ehuti'a Gilgali tavaonte'ma havi anumzama tro'ma hunte'nazareti ete rukrehe huno Ekloninte eno amanage hu'ne, Ekloniga oku'a nanekeka'a erigante'na oe, higeno Ekloni'a eri'za vahe'agura huno, amafintira maka atiramiho, hige'za maka eri'za vahe'amo'za atirami vagare'naze.

Ezithombeni eduze leGiligali yena uqobo wabuyela emuva, wathi, “Oh nkosi, ngilelizwi lakho eliyimfihlo.” Inkosi yathi, “Thula!” Zonke izikhonzi zayo zasuka kuyo.

20 Hagi Eglonima zasi'ma e'neria noma'afi agrake'ma manigeno'a, Ehuti'a amanage hu'ne, Anumzamofontegati oku nanekeka'a eri'na e'noe. Anage higeno tra'aretira oti'ne.

U-Ehudi wayilanda isihlezi yodwa ekamelweni langaphezulu elipholileyo endlini yayo yobukhosi wathi, “Ngilelizwi lakho elivela kuNkulunkulu.” Kwathi inkosi isukuma esihlalweni sayo,

21 Hagi Ehuti'a tarega kazigama asane bainati kazima tamaga kaziga amote'ma anakinte'nea kazina avazu huno, Ekloni rimpa reragufe'ne.

u-Ehudi wafinyelela ngesandla sakhe senxele, wahwatsha inkemba ethangazini lakhe kwesokudla wayithela esiswini senkosi.

22 Ana bainati kazimofo nena'amo'ene asana'amo'enena Eglonina rimpafi ufresupanegeno afovamo'a herafiramino bainati kazina refite'ne.

Inkemba yatshona yasala ngesilanda, amathumbu akhe agcwala phansi. U-Ehudi kayingcothulanga inkemba, idanga layemboza.

23 Ehuti'a ana kazina eriokasi Ekloni avufgafi me'negeno netreno, agu'ati kafana erinegino, marerino nomofo agofetu'ma zasi'ma e'nerizareti takaureno fre'ne.

U-Ehudi waphuma phandle, wavala iminyango yekamelo langaphezulu wayihluthulela.

24 Ehuti'ma vutegeno'a, Ekloni eri'za vahe'mo'za eme kazana anaga kaziga nomofo kafana erigi'negeno, zamagesama antahi'zana agu'afinka rifa nereno mani'ne hu'za hu'naze.

Esehambile kweza izinceku zathola iminyango yekamelo langaphezulu ihluthulelwe. Zathi, “Kutsho ukuthi iye ngaphandle ekamelweni elingaphakathi kwendlu.”

25 Anage hu'za nentahiza kafante avega ante'naze. Hianagi kafana ame huno onagige'za kafante kinofira eri'za ana kafana anagi'za kazana, kvazmimo'a frino mopafi mase'nege'za ke'naze.

Zalinda zaze zakhathazeka, kodwa ngoba ingasavulanga iminyango yekamelo lelo, zathatha ikhiye zayivula. Lapho-ke zabona inkosi yazo iwele phansi, isifile.

26 Hagi kini ne' eri'za vahe'mo'zama kafante avega ante'za mani'nazageno, Ehuti'a freno havere taga hu'za trohunte'naza havi anumzamofo amema'a me'nea kumara agatereno Seira vu'ne.

Zisalindile, u-Ehudi wasuka wahamba. Wedlula eduzane lezithombe wabalekela eSeyira.

27 Hagi ana'ma huteno'a Israeli vahe'mofo mopafima ufreno Efraemi agonafima nevuno'a, ufe rege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za nentahi'za eme atru hazageno, ha' hunaku zamavareno ugota huno agra urami'ne.

Esefike lapho wakhalisa icilongo elizweni lezintaba lako-Efrayimi, abako-Israyeli basebesehla laye ezintabeni, yena ebakhokhele.

28 Anama uneramino'a amanage huno hu'ne, navaririta viho, na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ha' vahetamia Moapu vahera tamagri tamazampi avrente'neankita zamahegahaze. Anage hige'za Israel vahe'mo'za Ehutina avariri'za Jodani tima takama nehazare Moapu vahe'enena hara ome hu'za magore hu'za ozamatre zamahehana hu'naze.

Wabalaya wathi, “Ngilandelani, ngoba uThixo usenikele uMowabi, isitha senu, ezandleni zenu.” Ngakho behlela laye phansi bemlandela, kwathi sebethumbe amazibuko eJodani ayewelela eMowabi, kabaze bavumela muntu ukuba achaphele ngaphetsheya.

29 Ana hapina Moapu hankavenentake ha' vahe'tmina Israeli vahe'mo'za 10tauseni'a vahe zamahehna nehu'za zamatrage'za ofre'naze.

Ngalesosikhathi babulala amaMowabi ayengaba zinkulungwane ezilitshumi, wonke ayeqinile elamandla; akukho muntu owaphunyukayo.

30 E'ina hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Moapu vahera, zamahe vagarazageno 80'a kafufina hahu'zana omanege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za knare hu'za mani'naze.

Ngalolosuku iMowabi yanqotshwa yi-Israyeli, ilizwe laselisiba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.

31 Ehuti amefira Anati nemofo Samgari efore huno bulimakao afu reneharia ronku hu'nea azotareti 600'a Filistia vahera zamahe hana huno Israeli vahera zamagu'vazi'ne.

Emva kuka-Ehudi kwaba loShamigari indodana ka-Anathi owabulala amaFilistiya angamakhulu ayisithupha ngesijujo senkabi. Laye wamkhulula u-Israyeli.
