A LAILA, kahea aku la o Iosua i ka Reubena, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Munase,
2 wathi kubo, “Selenze konke uMosi inceku kaThixo eyakulayayo, njalo lingilalele kukho konke engililaye ngakho.
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua malama oukou i na mea a pau i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa o Iehova ia oukou, a ua hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u leo e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou:
3 Okwesikhathi eside khathesi, kuze kube lamuhla, kalizange lihlamukele abafowenu kodwa lenze umsebenzi lowo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinike wona.
Aole oukou i haalele i ko oukou poe hoahanau i na la a pau a hiki i neia la, aka, ua malama oukou i ka olelo i kauoha mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua.
4 Njengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wanika abafowenu ukuphumula njengokuthembisa kwakhe, buyelani emakhaya enu elizweni uMosi inceku kaThixo alinika lona ngaphetsheya kweJodani.
Ano la, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova ko oukou Akua i ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me kana olelo ana mai ia lakou; ano la, e hoi aku oukou, a e hele hou i ko oukou mau halelewa, i ka aina i loaa ia oukou, ua haawi mai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou i kela kapa o Ioredane.
5 Kodwa linanzelele kakhulu ukuthi lilondoloza umlayo lomthetho uMosi inceku kaThixo alinika wona: Ukuthanda uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuhamba ezindleleni zakhe zonke, ukulalela imilayo yakhe, ukubambelela kuye lokumsebenzela ngenhliziyo yenu yonke lomphefumulo wenu wonke.”
Aka, e ao pono oukou, e malama i ke kauoha a me ke kanawai i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou, e aloha aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, e hele aku ma kona aoao a pau, e malama aku hoi i kona kanawai, e hoopili aku ia ia, a e hookauwa aku hoi nana, me ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau.
6 UJoshuwa wasebabusisa wathi kabahambe; yikho basebesiya emizini yabo.
Alaila, hoomaikai aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hookuu aku. A hele aku la lakou i ko lakou mau halelewa.
7 Ingxenye yesizwana sakoManase uMosi wayeyinike ilizwe eBhashani, kwathi eyinye ingxenye yesizwana uJoshuwa wayeyinike indawo lapho okwakwakhele abafowabo eJodani. Kwathi uJoshuwa esethe kabahambe emakhaya, wababusisa
Ua haawi mai o Mose no kekahi ohana hapa o Manase i noho ana ma Basana; o kekahi ohana hapa hoi, haawi mai o Iosua no lakou, me ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma keia kapa o Ioredane ma ke komohana. Alaila, hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i ko lakou halelewa, a hoomaikai oia ia lakou.
8 wathi, “Buyelani emakhaya enu lenotho yenu enengi, lilemihlambi emikhulu yezifuyo, lilesiliva, igolide ithusi lensimbi, lamalembu amanengi, beselisabelana labafowenu lokho elakuthumba ezitheni zenu.”
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E hoi oukou i ko oukou mau halelewa, me ka waiwai nui, a me na holoholona he nui loa, a me ke kala, a me ke gula, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ke kapa he nui loa. E puunauwe oukou i ka waiwai pio o ko oukou poe enemi, me ko oukou hoahanau.
9 Ngakho abakoRubheni, abakoGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase batshiya abako-Israyeli eShilo eseKhenani babuyela eGiliyadi, ilizwe labo, ababelizuze kulandela umlayo kaThixo awethula ngoMosi.
A hoi aku la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohaha hapa a Manase, a hele lakou, mai ka Iseraela aku, a mai Silo ma ka aina o Kanaana aku, e hele i ka aina o Gileada, i ka aina a lakou i loaa mai, ua loaa hoi ia lakou e like me ka olelo a Iehova ma ka lima o Mose.
10 Bathi sebefike eGelithothi eduzane leJodani elizweni leKhenani, abakoRubheni, abakoGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase bakha i-alithari elikhulu eduzane leJodani.
A hiki lakou i kahi e pili ana i Ioredane, aia ma ka aina o Kanaana, hana ae la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i kuahu malaila, ma Ioredane, ua nui kela kuahu i ka nana aku.
11 Kwathi abako-Israyeli sebezwe ukuthi sebakhe i-alithari emngceleni weKhenani eGelithothi duzane leJodani eceleni lako-Israyeli,
A lohe ae la na mamo a Iseraela, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, ua hana ae la ka Reubena a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ke kuahu imua o ka aina o Kanaana, ma ke kapa o Ioredane, ma kahi e hele ae na mamo a Iseraela.
12 umphakathi wonke wako-Israyeli wabuthana eShilo ukulungiselela ukulwa labo empini.
A lohe na mamo a Iseraela, hoakoakoa iho la ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela ma Silo, e hele aku ia lakou e kaua aku.
13 Ngakho abako-Israyeli bathuma uFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi elizweni leGiliyadi kuRubheni, uGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase.
Hoouna aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Pinehasa i ke keiki a Eleazara, ke kahuna, e hele i ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ka aina o Gileada,
14 Waphelekezelwa zinduna ezilitshumi, inye ngayinye ivela phakathi kwezizwe zonke zako-Israyeli njalo iyinhloko yesigaba semuli yensendo zako-Israyeli.
A me na'lii pu me ia he umi, pakahi ke alii i ka hale o na kupuna ma na ohana a pau a Iseraela: he poe alii wale no lakou o na kupuna, ma na tausani o ka Iseraela.
15 Ekuyeni kwabo eGiliyadi, kuRubheni loGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase bathi kubo:
A hele aku la lakou i ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i ka aina i Gileada, a kamailio pu me lakou, i aku la,
16 “Umphakathi wonke kaThixo uthi: ‘Kungani lisuke langathembeki kuNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli ngale indlela? Kungani lilahle uNkulunkulu lizakhela i-alithari njengokumhlamukela khathesi.
Pela ka olelo ana mai a ke anaina a pau o Iehova, Heaha keia hewa a oukou i hana aku ai i ke Akua o Iseraela, e huli i keia la, mai o Iehova aku, i ko oukou kukulu ana i kuahu no oukou iho, i kipi aku oukou i keia la ia Iehova?
17 Kambe ukona kukaPheyori kakwanelanga kithi na? Kuze kube lamhla kasikazihlambululi esonweni leso, lanxa umkhuhlane wake wahlasela isizwe sikaThixo!
He uuku anei ka hewa o Peora ia kakou, aole kakou i holoi aku i keia mea, mai o kakou aku, a hiki mai i keia la, he mea ia i ahulau ai ke anaina o Iehova,
18 Selibalekela uThixo na? Nxa lingahlamukela uThixo lamhla, kusasa uzazondela isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli:
I huli ai oukou i keia la, mai o Iehova aku? a i kipi aku oukou ia Iehova i keia la, a apopo e huhu mai oia i ke anaina a pau o Iseraela.
19 Nxa umhlaba elilawo ungcolisiwe wozani emhlabeni kaThixo lapho ithabanikeli likaThixo elimi khona beselisabelana umhlaba lathi. Kodwa lingahlamukeli uThixo kumbe thina ngokuzakhela i-alithari lenu, ngaphandle kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.
Aka, ina he aina haumia, ka oukou i loaa ai, e hele aku oukou i kela kapa, i ka aina a Iehova i loaa ai, i kahi e noho ana kana pahuberita; a e hoonoho oukou ia oukou iho, mawaena konu o makou. Mai kipi hoi oukou ia Iehova, mai kipi no hoi ia makou, i ko oukou kukulu ana i ke kuahu no oukou iho, okoa ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua.
20 Lapho u-Akhani indodana kaZera aze angathembeki ezintweni ezingcwelisiweyo, isijeziso kasehlelanga isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli yini? Kayisuye yedwa owafela isono sakhe.’”
Aole anei i lawehala o Akana, ke keiki a Zera, i ka mea laa, aole anei i hiki mai ka huhu maluna o na mamo a pau a Iseraela? Aole oia wale no ka i make i kona hewa.
21 Ngakho uRubheni, uGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase baphendula abakhokheli bezinsendo zako-Israyeli bathi:
Alaila, ekemu mai la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i mai la lakou i ka poe luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela,
22 “USomandla, uNkulunkulu uThixo! USomandla uNkulunkulu uThixo! Uyazi! Njalo u-Israyeli kabe lolwazi! Nxa lokhu bekuyikuhlamukela kumbe ukuqholozela uThixo, lingasisindisi lamhlanje.
O Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, o Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, oia ka i ike, a e ike no hoi auanei ka Iseraela; ina ma ke kipi ana a me ka hana hewa ana ia Iehova, mai hoola oukou ia makou i keia la,
23 Nxa sazakhela i-alithari lethu ukwenzela ukubalekela uThixo lokunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yamabele, kumbe ukunikela ngeminikelo yokuthula kulo, uThixo ngokwakhe kasijezise.
Ina paha makou i kukulu i ke kuahu no makou, e huli, mai o Iehova aku, a e kaumaha maluna iho i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohaiai, a e kaumaha maluna olaila i ka mohai aloha, na Iehova no e hoopai ia mea.
24 Hatshi! Sakwenza sisesaba ukuthi kwelinye ilanga izizukulwane zenu zingathi kwezethu, ‘Lilani loThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli?
Ina aole i hana makou pela no ka makau ana i keia mea, me ka i ana iho, Mamuli paha, e olelo mai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki, me ka i ana mai, Heaha ka oukou ia Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela?
25 UThixo sewenza iJodani ibe ngumngcele phakathi kwethu lani lina maRubheni lamaGadi! Kalilasabelo kuThixo.’ Ngakho izizukulwane zenu zingenza ukuthi ezethu ziyekele ukwesaba uThixo.
Ua haawi mai o Iehova ia Ioredane nei, i mokuna mawaena o kakou, e ka Reubena, a me ka Gada, aole o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la; pela no e hooki ai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki i ko lakou makau ana ia Iehova.
26 Yikho sathi, ‘Kasilungiseni sakhe i-alithari, kodwa hatshi eleminikelo yokutshiswa kumbe imihlatshelo.’
Olelo iho la makou, Ina kakou, e kukulu i kuahu no kakou, aole no ka mohaikuni, aole no ka alana:
27 Ngeyinye indlela, kuzakuba yibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani lezizukulwane ezizalandela, ukuthi sizekhonza uThixo endlini yakhe engcwele ngeminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yethu kanye leyokuthula. Ngakho kwelakusasa izizukulwane zenu kazisoze zithi kwezethu, ‘Kalilasabelo kuThixo.’
He mea hoike ia mawaena o makou a o oukou, a mawaena o ko kakou hanauna mahope aku nei o kakou; i hana makou i ka oihana a Iehova imua ona me ko makou mohaikuni a me ko makou alana, a me ko makou mohai aloha, i olelo ole ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki mahope aku nei, Aohe o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la.
28 Njalo sathi, ‘Bangavele batsho lokhu kithi kumbe kuzizukulwane zethu, sizaphendula sithi: Khangelani emfanekisweni we-alithari likaThixo, elakhiwa ngobaba, hatshi eleminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, kodwa njengobufakazi phakathi kwethu lani.’
Nolaila i olelo ai makou, A hiki i ka wa e i mai ai lakou pela ia makou, a i ko makou hanauna mahope aku nei o makou, e olelo makou, Ea, e nana oukou i ka mea like me ke kuahu o Iehova, i ka mea i hanaia'i e ko makou poe makua, aole no ka mohaikuni, a me ka alana, aka, i mea hoailona mawaena o makou a me oukou.
29 Kukhatshana kithi ukuthi sihlamukele uThixo simfulathele lamhla ngokwakha i-alithari leminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yamabele lemihlatshelo, ngaphandle kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu elimi phambi kwethabanikeli lakhe.”
Aole loa makou e kipi ia Iehova, a huli, mai o Iehova aku i keia la, a kukulu i ke kuahu no ka mohaikuni a me ka mohai ai a me na alana. Ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua, ka mea imua o kona halelewa, oia wale no ke kuahu.
30 Kwathi uFinehasi umphristi labakhokheli besizwe, abakhokheli bezinsendo zako-Israyeli, sebezwe okwakutshiwo nguRubheni, uGadi loManase bathokoza.
A lohe ae la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, a me na'lii o na mamo a Iseraela, a me na luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela, i na olelo i olelo mai ai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka Manase, he mea maikai no ia i ko lakou mau maka.
31 UFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi, wathi kuRubheni, uGadi loManase, “Lamhla siyazi ukuthi uThixo ulathi, ngenxa yokuthi kalizange liyekele ukwethembeka phambi kukaThixo kuloludaba. Khathesi selihlenge abako-Israyeli esandleni sikaThixo.”
Olelo aku la o Pinehasa, o ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, i ka Reubena poe mamo, a i ka Gada a i ka Manase, Ua ike pono kakou i keia la, o Iehova no mawaena o kakou, aole oukou i hana hewa i keia mea. A ua hoopakele oukou i na mamo a Iseraela mai ka lima mai o Iehova.
32 UFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi, labakhokheli babuyela eKhenani bevela emhlanganweni wabo labakoRubheni labakoGadi eGiliyadi basebebika kwabako-Israyeli.
Alaila, hoi aku la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, a me na'lii, mai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, mai ka aina o Gileada aku, i ka aina o Kanaana, i na mamo a Iseraela, a hai aku la ia lakou i keia mea.
33 Bathokoza ukuzwa umbiko basebedumisa uNkulunkulu. Kabasakhulumanga njalo ngokuya empini yokubalwisa ukwenzela ukutshabalalisa ilizwe lapho abakoRubheni labakoGadi ababehlala khona.
A he mea maikai no ia i na maka o na mamo a Iseraela; a hoomaikai aku la na mamo a Iseraela i ke Akua; aole lakou i manao e pii aku ia lakou o kaua, e luku aku i ka aina o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i noho ai.
34 Njalo abakoRubheni labakoGadi banika i-alithari lelibizo: UBufakazi Phakathi Kwethu ukuthi uThixo unguNkulunkulu.
Kapa aku la o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i ke kuahu, He mea hoike keia mawaena o kakou, o Iehova no, oia ke Akua.
