Hanki Jerusalemi kini ne' Adonizedekima antahiama, Josuama Jeriko kumate'ma hu'neaza huno Ai rankuma'ene ana kumate kini ne'ene, ha'ma hu agatereno zamahe hanama nehuno kumazmima eri havizama hu'nea ke'ne, Gibioni vahe'mo'zama Israeli naga'enema mago zamarimpa hu'za manisaza zamofo ke'ma huvempama hu'naza kema nentahino'a,
2 Yena labantu bakhe besaba kakhulu ngalokhu, ngenxa yokuthi iGibhiyoni kwakulidolobho eliqakatheke kakhulu, njengelinye lamadolobho esikhosini; lalilikhulu kule-Ayi, njalo amadoda alo wonke ayezingwazi ezilamandla.
agrane vahe'amozanena ana zankura tusi'a zamagogogu hu'naze. Na'ankure Gibioni kumamo'a mago'a kumara agatereno agi me'nea rankumakino, Ai rankuma'enena rugaterene. Hagi ana rankumapina hanavenentake sondia veneneraminke mani'naze.
3 Ngakho u-Adoni-Zedekhi inkosi yaseJerusalema wakhalaza kuHohamu inkosi yaseHebhroni, kuPhiramu inkosi yaseJamuthi, kuJafiya inkosi yaseLakhishi lakuDebhiri inkosi yase-Egiloni.
E'ina hu'negu Jerusalemi kini ne Adonizedekia 4'a rankumate kini vahetega kea atrezamante'ne. Ana vahera Hebroni kini ne' Hohamuma, Piramu kini ne' Jarmutima, Jafia kini ne' Lakisima, Debiri kini ne' Eklonima huno kea atre'zamante'ne.
4 Wathi kubo, “Wozani lizongincedisa ukuhlasela iGibhiyoni ngenxa yokuthi yenze isivumelwano sokuthula loJoshuwa labako-Israyeli.”
Ana kini nagakura amanage hu'ne, tamagra etma eme naza hinketa Gibioni nagara hara huzmantaneno. Na'ankure zamagra Josuane Israeli vahe'enena huvempa hu'za hara osu'za, mago zamarimpa hu'za manisnaza naneke huhagerafi'naze.
5 Ngakho amakhosi womahlanu ama-Amori, aseJerusalema, eHebhroni, eJamuthi, eLakhishi lase-Egiloni abambana. Aphuma lamabutho awo wonke ayihonqolozela iGibhiyoni ayihlasela.
Hanki 5fu'a Amori kini vahe'ma eme eri atruma hu'nazana, Jerusalemi kini neki, Hebroni kini neki, Jarmuti kini ne'ki, Lakisine Ekloni kini netre'ne hu'za sondia vahe'zamia eri tru hu'za seli nona ome ki'za avazagigagi'za manine'za, Gibioni vahera hara huzmante'naze.
6 AmaGibhiyoni athumela ilizwi kuJoshuwa ezihonqweni zaseGiligali athi: “Ungalahli izinceku zakho. Woza ngapha kithi ngokuphangisa uzosisiza! Sincede, ngoba wonke amakhosi ama-Amori abusa emazweni asemaqaqeni asebambene ukuze alwisane lathi.”
Anante Gibioni vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'ma Gilgalima kuma eme ante'za mani'nare Josuantega kea atrente'za amanage hu'naze, eri'za vahekamota kamefira huoraminka ame hunka emrerinka tagu'vazinka taza huo. Na'ankure Amori kini vahetamima agonamofo asoparegama nemaniza kini vahe'mo'za eri tru hu'za ha' eme hurante'za nehaze.
7 Ngakho uJoshuwa wasuka eGiligali, wenyuka kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, elaligoqela wonke amadoda ayekwazi ukulwa.
Hanki Josua'ma ananke'ma nentahino'a, sondia vahe'ane knare'ma hu'za ha'ma nehaza vahera maka zamavareno Gilgalia atreno Gibioni vahe'mokizmia zamaza hunaku marerino vu'ne.
8 UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Ungabesabi; sengibanikele esandleni sakho. Kakho loyedwa ozakwenelisa ukumelana lawe.”
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra korora zamagrikura osuo. Na'ankure zamagrira ko kagri kazampi zamavare ante'nogu, mago ne'mo'e huno kagrira hara hu kagateoregahie.
9 Ngemva kokuhamba okobusuku bonke besuka eGiligali, uJoshuwa wabajuma.
Anante Josua'ene ana maka sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke vu'za Amori vahe'ma eritru hu'zama mani'nafi antri hazaza hu'za ame hu'za hara ome huzmante'naze.
10 UThixo wenza ukuthi basanganiseke phambi kuka-Israyeli, wabehlula ngokunqoba okukhulu eGibhiyoni. Abako-Israyeli baxotshana labo emgwaqweni oya eBhethi-Horoni, baxhumana labo baze bayafika e-Azekha leMakheda.
Ana'ma hazageno'a Ra Anumzamo Israeli naga'mokizmi zamavufi Amori vahera zamazeri neginagi hige'za, rama'a vahe Gibioni kumatera zamahete'za, mago'a vahera zamarotago hu'za Bet-horonima mareneri'za karanka zamaheme vu'za Azekane, Makeda kumate'ene uhanati'naze.
11 Lapho bebalekela abako-Israyeli emgwaqweni osuka eBhethi-Horoni usiya e-Azekha, uThixo wehlisa isiqhotho esikhulu sivela emkhathini, njalo inengi labo lafa libulawa yisiqhotho ukwedlula ababulawa zinkemba zabako-Israyeli.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamagoro'ma hu'za Amori vahe'mo'za Bet-horoniti'ma fre'za Azekama urami'nea kantega nevazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a tusinasi ko'mopa ko atregeno havegna huno herafiramino, Amori vahera zamahe fri'ne. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama bainati kazinteti'ma zamahe fri'nazama'a ruzamagatereno haveretira zamahe fri'ne.
12 Ngalelolanga uThixo wanikela ngalo ama-Amori kwabako-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wathi kuThixo phambi kwabako-Israyeli: “We langa, mana uthi mpo ngaphezu kweGibhiyoni, lawe nyanga, mana ngaphezu kweSigodi se-Ayijaloni.”
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamaza hige'za, Amori vahe'ma ha'ma hu zamagateraza knazupa Josua'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamufi Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno asami'ne, zagemoka uoraminka Gibioni megeno, ikamoka Azaloni agupofi megahane.
13 Ngakho ilanga lema lathi mpo, lenyanga yema, isizwe saze saphindisela ngokupheleleyo ezitheni zaso, njengoba kulotshiwe oGwalweni lukaJasha. Ilanga lema phakathi laphakathi kwesibhakabhaka laphuza ukutshona okosuku lonke.
Higeno zagemo'a anante megeno, ikamo'enena ohanatine. Ana hu'nege'za Israeli naga'mo'za ha' vahezamia hara huzmagatere'naze. Ana zupa zagemo'a uofreno anuntumpi me'nege'za hara hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hu'naza zamofo agenkea Jashariema nehaza avontafepi krente'naze. (Jasahariema hu'neana fatgo vahe'mokizmi avontafere hu'ne.)
14 Kakuzange kube losuku olwafana lalo ngaphambili kumbe kuze kube lamhlanje, usuku lapho uThixo alalela khona umuntu. Ngeqiniso uThixo wayelwela u-Israyeli!
Korapa knareti'ma eno meninte'ma ehanati'neana, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuna antahizamino e'inahukna zana erifore osu'neankna kna efore hu'neankino, henkanena anara osugahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a magoke ne'mofo ke antahimino Israeli vahetega anteno Agra hara hu'ne.
15 Ngakho uJoshuwa waphindela labo bonke abako-Israyeli ezihonqweni zaseGiligali.
Hagi ha'ma huvagarete'za Josua'ene ana maka Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Gilgalima kuma'ma eme ante'za mani'narega ete vu'naze.
16 Amakhosi lawo womahlanu abaleka ayacatsha ebhalwini lwaseMakheda.
Anama hutazageno'a 5fu'a kini vahe'mo'za koro fre'za vu'za Makida kuma tavaonte mago havegampi ome fraki'naze.
17 Kwathi uJoshuwa esetshelwe ukuthi amakhosi womahlanu ayetholakale ecatshile ebhalwini lweMakheda,
Hanki mago'a vahe'mo'za ana 5fu'a kini vahe'ma Makida havegampi fra'maki'nazana kete'za, Josuana eme asamizageno,
18 wathi, “Giqani amatshe amakhulu liwafake emlonyeni wobhalu, beselisithi amanye amadoda alinde.
Josua'a sondia vahera zamasamino, ranra haverami atufetma ana havegana renkanineretma, mago'a sondia vahera huzmantenke'za anante kva hu'za maniho.
19 Kodwa lingemi! Xotshani izitha zenu, lingazivumeli ukuthi zifike emadolobheni azo, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu esezinikele ezandleni zenu.”
Ana'ma nehutma tamagra manigasa osutma, ha' vahetamia zamefi zamarotgo hutma kuma'zmifina uofre'nesagetama hara ome huzmanteho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo ana vahetamina ko tamazampi zamavarente'ne.
20 Ngakho uJoshuwa labako-Israyeli bababhubhisa baphosa baphela bonke kodwa abalutshwana abasalayo banelisa ukufika emadolobheni abo ayezinqaba.
Hanki Josua'ene Israeli ha' vahe'zamia zamarotgo hu'za zamahe hana hu'za kantega vazage'za, osi'a naga'mo'za koro fre'za rankuma zamimofo vihufi ufre'naze.
21 Ibutho lonke lenelisa ukuphenduka ngokuthula kuJoshuwa esihonqweni seMakheda, njalo kakho owake wakhuluma okubi ngabako-Israyeli.
Ana'ma hute'za ana maka Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamavufarera hazenkea e'ori, Makida kuma'ma omente'zama mani'nare Josua'a mani'nege'za ete e'naze. Ana'ma hazage'za magore hu'za Kenani mopare vahe'mo'za Israeli vahetega mago kea huozmante'naze.
22 UJoshuwa wathi, “Vulani umlomo wobhalu beseliletha amakhosi womahlanu eze kimi.”
Anante Josua'a amanage hu'ne, Havegama renkanimare'naza haveramina eri atretma ana 5fu'a kini vahera havegampintira zamavareta nagrite eho.
23 Ngakho bakhupha amakhosi womahlanu ebhalwini, inkosi yaseJerusalema, eyeHebhroni, yeJamuthi, eyeLakhishi kanye leyase-Egiloni.
Hanki kema hia ke amagente'za ana kini vahera havegampintira ome zamavaremegi atre'za zamavare'zama e'nazana, Jerusalemi kinigi Hebroni kinigi, Jarmuti kinigi, Lakisi kinigi, Ekloni kini neki hu'za zamavare'za Josuante e'naze.
24 Bathi sebelethe amakhosi la kuJoshuwa, wabiza wonke amadoda ako-Israyeli wasesithi kubo bonke abalawuli bamabutho ababeze laye, “Wozani lapha lizofaka inyawo zenu entanyeni zala amakhosi.” Ngakho beza phambili basebefaka inyawo zabo entanyeni zawo.
Ana kini vahera zamavare'za etageno, Josua'a maka Israeli vahera kehu tru huteno, sondia vahete kva vahe'ma agranema ha'ma ome hu'naza vahe'mokizmia amanage huno zamasami'ne, amare etma tamaganuti ama kini vahe'mokizmi zamanankena rentroko hiho, hige'za Josuankea amage ante'za ana hu'naze.
25 UJoshuwa wathi kubo, “Lingesabi; lingadangali qinani libe lezibindi. Lokhu yikho okuzakwenziwa nguThixo kuzozonke izitha elizalwisana lazo.”
Hanki Josua'a Israeli vahe'mokizmia amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra korora huge, antahintahi hakarea osiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amama hiaza huno maka ha' vahetamima ha'ma huzmante'nazana anahu zanke hugahie.
26 Ngakho uJoshuwa wawabulala amakhosi la wawalengisa ensikeni ezinhlanu, alenga lapho kwaze kwahlwa.
Anage huteno Josua'a ana kini vahera zamahe friteno, 5fu'a zafare zamufga hantintegeno me'negeno vuno kinaga zagea ufre'ne.
27 Ekutshoneni kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule bawaphose ebhalwini lapho ayekade ecatshe khona. Emlonyeni wobhalu bafaka amatshe amakhulu alokhu ekhona lanamhlanje.
Hagi zagema ufregeno'a Josua'a huzmantege'za ana vahe zamavufaga zafaretira erifenka atre'za, ko'ma fra'makiza mani'naza havegampi ome zamatrete'za ana havegantera ranra havenuti renkani razageno meno eno, ama knarera ehanatine.
28 Ngalelolanga uJoshuwa wathumba iMakheda. Wahlasela idolobho kanye lenkosi yalo ngenkemba, wabhubhisa wonke umuntu owayephakathi kwalo. Kakho owatshiywa ephila. Wenza enkosini yeMakheda lokho ayekwenze enkosini yaseJerikho.
Hagi ana zupage Josua'a Makida rankumara hara hu zamagtereno kini ne'zamine ana maka vahera kazinteti zamahe fri vagare'ne. Ana kumapina mago'zane huno otreno ana maka'zana eri haviza nehuno, mago vahera atregeno omani'ne. Hagi Jeriko kini ne'ma hunte'neaza huno, Makida kumate kini nera ana zanke hunte'ne.
29 Ngakho uJoshuwa labo bonke abako-Israyeli ababelaye basuka eMakheda baya eLibhina balihlasela.
Hanki Makida rankumama ha'ma huzamagaterete'za, Josua'ene sondia naga'mo'za Makida atre'za vu'za Libna kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.
30 UThixo waphinda wanikela lelodolobho lenkosi yalo esandleni sika-Israyeli. UJoshuwa wahlasela ngenkemba idolobho laye wonke umuntu owayephakathi kwalo. Kakho owatshiywa ephila lapho. Wenza enkosini yalo lokho ayekwenze enkosini yeJerikho.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo anahukna huno Israeli vahera zamaza hige'za, Libna kini ne'ene ana maka vahe'anena kazinteti zamahe vagare'naze. Ana kumapina Josua'a mago'zane huno otreno, ana maka'zana eri haviza nehuno mago vahere huno atregeno omani'ne. Hagi Jeriko kini ne'ma hunte'neaza huno, Libna kini nera ana zanke hunte'ne.
31 Ngakho uJoshuwa labo bonke abako-Israyeli ayelabo bahamba besuka eLibhina besiya eLakhishi; balihanqa basebelihlasela.
Ana'ma hute'za, Josua'ene Israeli sondia naga'mo'za Libna kumara atre'za vu'za, Lakisi kumara ome avazagigagi'za mani'ne'za hara huzmante'naze.
32 UThixo wanikela iLakhishi ku-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wayithatha ngelanga lesibili. Idolobho laye wonke umuntu owayephakathi kwalo wakuhlasela ngenkemba, njengalokho ayekwenze eLibhina.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo Israeli vahe'mokizmia zamaza huno hara higeno, nampa 2 knarera Josua'a Lakisi vahera hara hu zamagaterege'za, ana maka vahera Libna kumate vahe'ma hu'nazaza hu'za bainati kazinteti zamahe fri vagare'naze.
33 Kunjalo-nje uHoramu inkosi yaseGezeri yayize ukuzoncedisa iLakhishi kodwa uJoshuwa wayehlula ndawonye lebutho layo, kakho owatshiywa ephila.
Anante Gezeri kini ne' Horamua Lakisi vahetami hara huzmaza hu'naku mrerino egeno, Josua'a ana kini ne'ene naga'anena hara nehuno, mago vahere huno ozmantre'neanki zamahe fri vagare'naze.
