La ngamabizo alawomadoda athunywa nguMosi ukuyahlola ilizwe. (UMosi wetha uHosheya indodana kaNuni ibizo elithi Joshuwa.)
17 Mosese'a Kenani mopa vu'za ome afure'za kehogu, agra anage huno huzmante'ne, Anagamu Negev mareriteta, anantetira agona moparega mareriho.
Ekubathumeni kwakhe ukuyahlola ilizwe laseKhenani, uMosi wathi kubo, “Hambani liye eNegebi likhuphukele elizweni lezintaba.
18 Mopamo'a inankna hu'nefi ome negeta, ana mopafima nemaniza vahera hanave vahepi hanavezamia omne'ne vahepi, osi'a mani'nafi, rama'a vahe mani'nafi ome keho.
Likhangele ukuthi ilizwe lakhona linjani njalo lokuthi abantu bakhona balamandla kumbe babuthakathaka, balutshwana kumbe banengi.
19 Inankna hu'nea mopafi nemanizo, ana mopamo'a knare hu'nefi, haviza hu'nefi? Ranra kuma'zamimo'a inankna hu'ne, ruherafi'za kumara ante'za mani'nafi, hanave vihu kegina hu'nazafi keho?
Ilizwe abahlala kulo linjani? Lihle na loba libi? Amadolobho abahlala kuwo anjani? Agonjolozelwe ngemiduli loba asegcekeni nje?
20 Mopamo'a inankna hu'ne, masvema'ane mopafi hagege hu'ne? Anampina zafa me'nefi omane'ne? Ete eku'ma hanuta mago'a zafa raga eri'neta eho. Ana'ma huzmante'neana krepimo ese agafa huno afure'nea knafi huzmantege'za vu'naze.
Umhlabathi wakhona unjani? Uvundile na loba ulugwadule? Langabe lilezihlahla loba hayi? Yenzani ubungcono benu libuye lezinye zezithelo zakulelolizwe.” (Kwakuyisikhathi sokuvuthwa kwezithelo zakuqala zevini.)
21 Zini ka'ma hagege kokampi mareri'za ana mopa oku'a afu omere'za nege'za, Rehob vu'za Lebo-hamati kaziga uhanati'naze.
Ngakho bahamba ukuyahlola ilizwe besukela eNkangala yaseZini kuze kuyefika eRehobhi, ngokuya eLebho Hamathi.
22 Hagi Negevi mareri'za uhanatite'za, Anaki agehe'za Ahimanima, Sesai'ma, Talmai'zama hu'za, Hebroni mani'nazare vu'naze. (Hebroni kuma erifore hu'naza kna 7ni'a kafu agateretege'za, Zoan kumara Isipi'a erifore hu'naze).
Bahamba-ke badabula eNegebi baze bayafika eHebhroni, lapho okwakuhlala khona u-Ahimani, loSheshayi kanye loThalimayi, izizukulwane zika-Anakhi. (IHebhroni yakhiwa iminyaka eyisikhombisa kungakakhiwa idolobho laseZowani eGibhithe.)
23 Anantetira Eskol agupofi uhanati'za, anampinti krepimo mago azankunate manumanu huno te'nea akafri'za, zafare taremoke zafa hutere nehu'za, mago'a pomigrenet ragane, fiki ragane eri'za e'naze.
Bathi befika esihotsheni sase-Eshikholi baquma ugatsha olwalulesixha sezithelo zevini. Ababili babo basithwala besigaxe egodweni ndawonye lamaphomegranathi kanye lomkhiwa.
24 Ana kokankura Eskol agupoe hu'za hu'naze. Na'ankure mago'pima (manu manuma huno zafa rgama re'nege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za akafri'za) eri'za e'nagu hu'naze.
Lindawo yabizwa ngokuthi yisihotsha sase-Eshikholi ngenxa yesixha sezithelo zevini esaqunywa khona ngabako-Israyeli.
25 Hagi 40'a zage gnamofo agu'afi mopa oku'a vano hu'za afure'za kete'za e'naze.
Ngemva kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane zokuhlola ilizwe inhloli zabuyela emuva.
26 Mosesene, Aronine, maka'a Israeli vahe kevune Paran ka'ma hagege mopafi, Kades mani'nage'za, Kenani mopafima me'nege'za kete'za aza zamofo nanekea eme nezmasmi'za, ana mopafinti zafa ragama eri'za e'nazana eme zamaveri nehu'za,
Babuyela kuMosi lo-Aroni lakuso sonke isizwe sako-Israyeli eKhadeshi, enkangala yasePharani. Babikela uMosi lo-Aroni kanye labo bonke abako-Israyeli njalo batshengisa lezithelo zakulelolizwe.
27 amanage hu'za Mosesena asmi'naze, Hurantanketa vu'nona mopafina, tamage huno ami rine, tume rinena avite'ne. Hagi anampinti'ma zafa rgama erita e'nonana ama'ne.
Balandisela uMosi bathi: “Sihambile elizweni lelo obukade usithume kulo, ngempela ligeleza uchago loluju! Nanzi izithelo zalo.
28 Hianagi ana mopafina hanavenentake vahe manine'za, ranra kuma'zamirera tusinasi vihu hu'naze. Hagi anampina Anaki nezmagehoza mani'nageta zamage'none.
Kodwa abantu abahlala khona balamandla kanti lamadolobho akhona makhulu njalo avikelwe. Size sabona lezizukulwane zika-Anakhi khonale.
29 Ameleki vahera Negev mopafi mani'naze, Hiti vahe'ene, Jebusi vahe'ene, Amori vahe'enena agona mopafi mani'naze. Hagi Kenani vahera hageri ankenane, Jodani timofo ankenarega mani'za evu'naze.
Ama-Amaleki ahlala eNegebi; amaHithi, lamaJebusi lama-Amori bahlala elizweni lezintaba, amaKhenani wona ahlala eduzane lolwandle esekele umfula uJodani.”
30 Hagi Mosese avuga, Kalepi'a otino amanage hu'ne, Kea tagane'neta antahiho, inazano fore hania zankura ontahita, otinketa marerita ana mopa omeri maneno. Na'ankure tagra hara huzmagatereta mopa erigahune.
Emva kwalokho uKhalebi wathulisa abantu phambi kukaMosi wasesithi, “Kufanele ukuthi sihambe siyethatha ilizwe leli libe ngelethu, ngoba singakwenza sibili.”
31 Hianagi mago'a vahe'ma agrane vu'naza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, tagra ana vahera zamahega osu'none. Na'ankure hanave zamimo'a tagri hanavea agatere'ne!
Kodwa amadoda lawo ayehambe laye athi, “Asingeke sibahlasele abantu labo; balamandla kulathi.”
32 Ana mopa ome afure'za kete'za e'naza vahe'mo'za, koro nehu'za Israeli vahera havige rezmatga hu'za anage hu'naze, anama ome ke'nona mopamo'a aza'o ana mopare umani'simofona aheno nehna hugahie. Hagi ana mika vahe'ma zamage'nona vahera tusinasi vahe mani'naze.
Basebetshela abantu bako-Israyeli umbiko omubi ngelizwe ababelihlolile. Bathi, “Ilizwe esilihlolileyo liyabagabhela labantu abahlala kulo. Bonke abantu esibabone khonale yiziqhwaga.
33 Ana mopafinke Nefilim vahera nezmageta, Anaki vahera, Nefilim vahe'mokizmi zamagehezagita, tagrama zamagonana kenu kna tagra hu'none. Hagi zamagrama taga'zana ana zanke hu'none.
Sibone khona amaNefilimi (isizukulwane sika-Anakhi sivela kumaNefilimi.) Emehlweni ethu besingangentethe phambi kwabo, lasemehlweni abo besinjalo.”
