UJoshuwa 24
1 Ngakho uJoshuwa wabuthanisa zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli eShekhemu. Wamema bonke abadala, abakhokheli, abahluleli leziphathamandla zako-Israyeli, njalo bazethula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Markaasaa Yashuuca qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku soo ururshay Shekem, oo wuxuu u yeedhay waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil, iyo madaxdoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, oo waxay kulligood ku soo urureen Ilaah hortiisa.
2 UJoshuwa wathi ebantwini bonke, “UThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli uthi: ‘Kudala okhokho benu, okugoqela uThera uyise ka-Abhrahama loNahori, babehlala ngaphetsheya koMfula njalo bekhonza abanye onkulunkulu.
Oo Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Awowayaashiin waxay waa hore degganaan jireen Webigii shishadiisa, oo waxaa ka mid ahaa Terax oo ahaa aabbihii Ibraahim iyo Naaxoor; waxayna u adeegi jireen ilaahyo kale.
3 Kodwa ngathatha uyihlo u-Abhrahama elizweni elingaphetsheya koMfula ngamkhokhelela eKhenani ngamnika izizukulwane ezinengi. Ngamnika u-Isaka,
Markaasaan awowgiin Ibraahim ka soo kexeeyey Webiga shishadiisa, oo aan dhex mariyey dalka Kancaan oo dhan, oo farcankiisiina waan badiyey, oo waxaan siiyey Isxaaq.
4 njalo u-Isaka ngamnika uJakhobe lo-Esawu. Nganika ilizwe lonke elilamaqaqa eleSeyiri ku-Esawu, kodwa uJakhobe lamadodana akhe baya eGibhithe.
Isxaaqna waxaan siiyey Yacquub iyo Ceesaw; Ceesawna waxaan Buur Seciir u siiyey inuu hantiyo, oo Yacquub iyo carruurtiisiina waxay ku dhaadhaceen xagga dalka Masar.
5 Ngasengithuma uMosi lo-Aroni, njalo ngajezisa amaGibhithe ngalokho engakwenza khonale ngasengilikhupha khona.
Oo markaasaan soo diray Muuse iyo Haaruun, oo Masarna belaayaan ku riday, sidii wixii aan dhexdooda ku sameeyey; oo dabadeedna waan idinka soo saaray.
6 Ekukhupheni kwami okhokho benu eGibhithe, beza olwandle njalo amaGibhithe axotshana labo ngezinqola lamabhiza baze bayafika eLwandle Olubomvu.
Oo awowayaashiin waxaan ka soo saaray Masar, oo markaasaad timaadeen badda; oo Masriyiintiina awowayaashiin ayay ku sii eryadeen gaadhifardood, iyo fardooley, ilaa ay yimaadeen Badda Cas.
7 Kodwa bakhala kuThixo befuna uncedo yena waseletha umnyama phakathi kwenu lamaGibhithe; waletha ulwandle phezu kwabo wabembesa ngalo. Lazibonela ngamehlo enu lokho engakwenza kumaGibhithe. Laselihlala enkangala okwesikhathi eside.
Oo markay Rabbiga u qayshadeen ayuu gudcur kala dhex dhigay idinka iyo Masriyiintii, oo badduu ku soo daayay oo ku daboolay; oo indhihiinnaad ku aragteen wixii aan ku sameeyey Masar; oo idinna maalmo badan ayaad cidlada degganaydeen.
8 Ngaliletha elizweni lama-Amori ayehlala empumalanga yeJodani. Balwisana lani, kodwa mina ngabanikela ezandleni zenu. Ngababhubhisa phambi kwenu njalo laselithatha ilizwe labo.
Oo markaasaan idin keenay dalkii reer Amor, kuwaasoo degganaa Webi Urdun shishadiisa, oo iyana way idinla dirireen; kolkaasaan gacanta idiin geliyey, oo dalkoodiina waad hantideen, iyagiina hortiinna waan ka baabbi'iyey.
9 Lapho uBhalaki indodana kaZiphori inkosi yaseMowabi, alungiselela ukulwisana lo-Israyeli, wathumela uBhalamu indodana kaBheyori ukuthi aliqalekise.
Dabadeedna waxaa kacay boqorkii Moo'aab oo ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor, oo wuxuu la diriray reer binu Israa'iil, markaasuu u yeedhay oo idiinku soo diray inuu idin habaaro Balcaam ina Becoor.
10 Kodwa ngala ukulalela uBhalamu, ngakho walibusisa njalonjalo mina ngasengilihlenga esandleni sakhe.
Laakiinse anigu Balcaam ma aanan dhegaysan; sidaas daraaddeed weliba wuu idiin sii duceeyey; oo sidaasaan gacantiisii idiinka samatabbixiyey.
11 Laselichapha uJodani leza eJerikho. Izakhamizi zeJerikho zalwisana lani njengalokho okwenziwa ngama-Amori, amaPherizi, amaKhenani, amaHithi, amaGigashi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, kodwa ngabanikela ezandleni zenu.
Oo idinku waxaad ka soo gudubteen Webi Urdun oo aad timaadeen Yerixoo, oo dadkii reer Yerixoo way idinla dagaallameen, kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus, oo anna dhammaantood gacantaan idiin geliyey.
12 Ngathumela olonyovu phambi kwenu, olwabaxotsha phambi kwenu kanye lamakhosi amabili ama-Amori. Kalizange likwenze ngenkemba yenu langedandili lenu.
Oo waxaan idinka hor mariyey xoonkii hortiinna ka eryay iyagii oo ahaa xataa labadii boqor oo reer Amor, oo kuwaas kuma aadan eryin seeftaada iyo qaansadaada toona.
13 Ngakho ngalinika ilizwe elingazanga liliginqele lamadolobho elingazange liwakhe; njalo lihlala phakathi kwawo njalo lisidla ezivinini zama-oliva elingazihlanyelanga.’
Oo waxaan idin siiyey dal aydnaan u hawshoon, iyo magaalooyin aydnaan dhisan, oo waad iska dhex degtaan, oo waxaad ka cuntaan canab iyo saytuun aydnaan beeran.
14 Ngakho mesabeni uThixo limkhonze ngokuthembeka konke. Lahlani onkulunkulu ababekhonzwa ngokhokho benu ngaphetsheya koMfula laseGibhithe, likhonze uThixo.
Haddaba Rabbiga ka cabsada, oo daacad iyo run ugu adeega; oo iska fogeeya ilaahyadii awowayaashiin ugu adeegi jireen Webiga shishadiisa, iyo dalka Masar dhexdiisa, oo idinku waxaad u adeegtaan Rabbiga.
15 Kodwa nxa ukukhonza uThixo kukhanya kungathandeki kini, khethani phakathi kwenu namhlanje lowo elizamkhonza, kumbe ngonkulunkulu okhokho benu ababebakhonza ngaphetsheya koMfula kumbe onkulunkulu bama-Amori, lawo elihlala elizweni lawo. Kodwa mina lendlu yami sizakhonza uThixo.”
Oo hadday shar idinla tahay inaad Rabbiga u adeegtaan, haddaba maanta doorta kii aad u adeegi doontaan, ama ha noqoto ilaahyadii awowayaashiin ugu adeegi jireen Webiga shishadiisa, ama ilaahyada reer Amor, kuwaas oo aad dalkoodii deggan tihiin; laakiinse aniga iyo reerkayguba waxaannu u adeegi doonaa Rabbiga.
16 Abantu basebephendula besithi, “Akube khatshana lathi ukuthi silahle uThixo ukuze sikhonze abanye onkulunkulu!
Kolkaasaa dadkii waxay ugu jawaabeen, Ilaah ha naga fogeeyo inaannu Rabbiga ka tagno oo aannu u adeegno ilaahyo kale;
17 KwakunguThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ngokwakhe owasikhuphayo thina kanye labobaba eGibhithe sisuka elizweni lobugqili, wasesenza izimanga ezinkulu emehlweni ethu. Wasivikela kulolonke uhambo lwethu lakuzo zonke izizwe.
waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu waa kii innaga iyo awowayaasheenba inaga soo saaray dalkii Masar oo ahaa gurigii addoonsiga, oo isagu waa kii calaamooyinkaas waaweyn ku sameeyey horteenna oo inagu dhawrayay jidkii aan soo marnay oo dhan, oo inaga samatabbixiyey dadkii aynu soo dhex soconnay oo dhan.
18 Njalo uThixo wazixotsha phambi kwethu zonke izizwe, okugoqela ama-Amori ayehlala elizweni. Lathi sizamkhonza uThixo ngoba unguNkulunkulu wethu.”
Oo Rabbigu wuxuu horteenna ka eryay dadkii oo dhan, iyo xataa reer Amor oo dalka degganaa; oo sidaas daraaddeed annaguna waxaannu u adeegi doonnaa Rabbiga, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa Ilaahayo.
19 UJoshuwa wathi ebantwini, “Kalenelisi ukumkhonza uThixo. UnguNkulunkulu ongcwele; unguNkulunkulu olobukhwele. Kasoze alixolele ekuhlamukeni kwenu lezonweni zenu.
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Rabbiga uma aad adeegi kartaan; waayo, isagu waa Ilaah quduus ah; oo waa Ilaah masayr ah, oo isagu idinkama cafiyi doono xadgudubkiinna iyo dembiyadiinna toona.
20 Nxa lingatshiya uThixo beselikhonza abanye onkulunkulu bezizweni uzaliphendukela alehlisele umonakalo aliqede du, yena ubelungile.”
Oo markuu wax wanaagsan idiin sameeyo dabadeed, haddaad Rabbiga ka tagtaan, oo aad u adeegtaan ilaahyo qalaad, de markaas wuu soo jeesan doonaa oo wax xun buu idinku samayn doonaa, oo wuu idin baabbi'in doonaa.
21 Kodwa abantu bathi kuJoshuwa, “Hatshi! Sizamkhonza uThixo.”
Markaasaa dadkii waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Maya; laakiinse annagu Rabbiga waannu u adeegi doonnaa.
22 UJoshuwa wathi, “Yini elizifakazelayo ukuthi selikhethe ukukhonza uThixo.” Baphendula bathi, “Yebo singofakazi.”
Yashuucana wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Idinka qudhiinnaa isku marag furaya inaad doorateen Rabbiga oo aad isaga u adeegaysaan. Kolkaasay yidhaahdeen, Annagaa ka marag ah.
23 UJoshuwa wathi kubo, “Ngakho-ke lahlani bonke onkulunkulu bezizweni abaphakathi kwenu beselinikela inhliziyo zenu kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli.”
Kolkaasuu yidhi, Haddaba iska fogeeya ilaahyada qalaad oo idinku dhex jira, oo qalbigiinna u jeediya Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.
24 Abantu bathi kuJoshuwa, “Sizamkhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu simlalele.”
Markaasaa dadkii waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaannu u adeegi doonnaa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, oo weliba codkiisaannu maqli doonnaa.
25 Ngalelolanga uJoshuwa wenzela abantu isivumelwano, njalo wabenzela imithetho lemilayo khonapho eShekhemu.
Taas daraaddeed maalintaas ayaa Yashuuca dadkii axdi la dhigtay, oo Shekem buu ugu dejiyey qaynuun iyo amar.
26 UJoshuwa waloba konke lokhu oGwalweni lwemiThetho kaNkulunkulu. Wasethatha ilitshe elikhulu walimisa phansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi eduzane lendawo engcwele kaThixo.
Markaasaa Yashuuca erayadan ku qoray kitaabkii sharcigii Ilaah; oo dhagax weyn buu qaaday, oo wuxuu hoos qotonshay geedkii ku ag yiil taambuugga quduuskaa oo Rabbiga.
27 Wathi ebantwini bonke, “Khangelani! Ilitshe leli lizakuba yibufakazi kithi sonke. Selizwile wonke amazwi akhulunywe nguThixo kithi. Lizakuba ngofakazi wokulilahla nxa lingakhulumi iqiniso kuNkulunkulu.”
Yashuucana wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Bal ogaada, dhagaxanaa inagu marag furi doonee; waayo, wuxuu maqlay erayadii Rabbiga oo uu inagula hadlay oo dhan; sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu idinku noqon doonaa marag, si aydnaan Ilaahiinna u inkirin.
28 UJoshuwa wasetshela abantu ukuba bahambe, yilowo esiya elifeni lakhe.
Markaasaa Yashuuca dadkii kala diray oo nin waluba wuxuu tegey dalkii dhaxalkiisa ahaa.
29 Ngemva kwezinto lezi, uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku kaThixo wafa eseleminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
Oo taas dabadeed addoonkii Rabbiga oo ahaa Yashuuca ina Nuun ayaa dhintay, isagoo jira boqol iyo toban sannadood.
30 Njalo bamngcwaba elizweni alizuza njengelifa, eThimnathi-Sera elizweni elilamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi enyakatho yentaba yeGashi.
Oo waxay ku aaseen dalkii uu dhaxalka u helay oo ahaa Timnad Serah oo ku tiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, oo xagga woqooyi ka xigta buurta Gacash.
31 Abako-Israyeli bamkhonza uThixo ngezinsuku zokuphila kukaJoshuwa labadala kulaye ababesele bephila njalo bebone zonke izinto uThixo ayezenzele abako-Israyeli.
Reer binu Israa'iilna Rabbigay u adeegi jireen waagii Yashuuca oo dhan, iyo waagii odayaashii ka nolol dambeeyey Yashuuca oo dhan, kuwaas oo ogaa kulli shuqulkii Rabbigu u sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil.
32 Njalo amathambo kaJosefa, abako-Israyeli ababesuke lawo eGibhithe, angcwatshelwa eShekhemu esiqintini somhlaba leso uJakhobe asithenga ngenhlamvu ezilikhulu zesiliva emadodaneni kaHamori, uyise kaShekhemu. Leli laba yilifa lezizukulwane zikaJosefa.
Oo lafihii Yuusuf oo reer binu Israa'iil ka soo saareen Masar, waxay ku aaseen Shekem taasoo ah dhulkii yaraa oo Yacquub ka iibsaday reer Xamoor oo ahaa Shekem aabbihiis oo uu ka siistay boqol gogo' oo lacag ah; oo meeshaasu waxay dhaxal u noqotay reer Yuusuf.
33 U-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni wafa wasengcwatshelwa eGibhiya, eyayabelwe indodana yakhe uFinehasi elizweni lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi.
Oo Elecaasaar ina Haaruunna wuu dhintay, oo waxay isna ku aaseen buurtii wiilkiisa Fiinexaas oo isaga laga siiyey dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.
