2 “Khetha amadoda alitshumi lambili phakathi kwabantu, yileyo imele isizwana sako-Israyeli,

to take: take to/for you from [the] people two ten human man one man one from tribe

3 ubusubatshela ukuthi bathathe amatshe alitshumi lambili phakathi laphakathi kweJodani kusukela lapho okwakumi khona abaphristi, beseliwathwala liwabeke endaweni elizalala kuyo lamuhla ebusuku.”

and to command [obj] them to/for to say to lift: raise to/for you from this from midst [the] Jordan from station foot [the] priest to establish: establish two ten stone and to pass: bring [obj] them with you and to rest [obj] them in/on/with lodging which to lodge in/on/with him [the] night

4 Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wabiza amadoda alitshumi lambili ayewakhethe phakathi kwabako-Israyeli, eyodwa ivela esizwaneni.

5 Wasesithi kuwo, “Hambani phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu liye phakathi laphakathi kweJodani. Omunye lomunye wenu kumele athwale ilitshe ehlombe lakhe, kusiya ngenani lezizwana zako-Israyeli,

and to say to/for them Joshua to pass to/for face: before ark LORD God your to(wards) midst [the] Jordan and to exalt to/for you man: anyone stone one upon shoulder his to/for number tribe son: descendant/people Israel

6 ukuze kube luphawu phakathi kwenu. Kwelizayo nxa abantwana benu belibuza besithi, ‘Kanti amatshe la atshoni?’

because to be this sign: indicator in/on/with entrails: among your for to ask [emph?] son: child your tomorrow to/for to say what? [the] stone [the] these to/for you

7 Libatshele ukuthi ukugeleza kweJodani kwamiswa phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo. Kwathi lapho umtshokotsho uchapha iJodani, amanzi omfula uJodani ehlukaniswa. Amatshe la azakuba yisukhumbuzo ebantwini bako-Israyeli nini lanini.”

and to say to/for them which to cut: cut water [the] Jordan from face: before ark covenant LORD in/on/with to pass he in/on/with Jordan to cut: cut water [the] Jordan and to be [the] stone [the] these to/for memorial to/for son: descendant/people Israel till forever: enduring

8 Ngakho-ke abako-Israyeli benza njengokulaya kukaJoshuwa. Bathatha amatshe alitshumi lambili phakathi laphakathi kweJodani, kusiya ngenani lezizwana zako-Israyeli, njengokulaywa kukaJoshuwa nguThixo; basebewathwalela ezihonqweni zabo lapho abafika bawabeka khona phansi.

and to make: do so son: descendant/people Israel like/as as which to command Joshua and to lift: raise two ten stone from midst [the] Jordan like/as as which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Joshua to/for number tribe son: descendant/people Israel and to pass: bring them with them to(wards) [the] lodging and to rest them there

9 UJoshuwa wamisa amatshe alitshumi lambili ayekade ephakathi laphakathi kweJodani, endaweni lapho abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano abafika bema khona njalo lokhu ekhonapho kuze kube lamhlanje.

and two ten stone to arise: establish Joshua in/on/with midst [the] Jordan underneath: stand station foot [the] priest to lift: bear ark [the] covenant and to be there till [the] day [the] this

10 Abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho baqhubeka bemi phakathi kweJodani abantu baze baqeda konke uThixo ayekulaye uJoshuwa, njengokuqondiswa kukaJoshuwa nguMosi. Abantu bedlula ngokuphangisa

and [the] priest to lift: bear [the] ark to stand: stand in/on/with midst [the] Jordan till to finish all [the] word: thing which to command LORD [obj] Joshua to/for to speak: speak to(wards) [the] people like/as all which to command Moses [obj] Joshua and to hasten [the] people and to pass

11 njalo bathi bonke sebechaphile, umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo labaphristi beza kwelinye icele abantu bekhangele.

and to be like/as as which to finish all [the] people to/for to pass and to pass ark LORD and [the] priest to/for face: before [the] people

12 Amadoda akoRubheni, akoGadi lengxenye yesizwana sakoManase achapha ehlomile phambi kwabako-Israyeli njengokuqondisa kukaMosi.

and to pass son: descendant/people Reuben and son: descendant/people Gad and half tribe [the] Manasseh armed to/for face: before son: descendant/people Israel like/as as which to speak: speak to(wards) them Moses

13 Abantu abaphose bafike kunkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane ababehlomele impi bachapha phambi kukaThixo besiya emagcekeni eJerikho ukuyakulwa impi.

like/as forty thousand to arm [the] army: war to pass to/for face: before LORD to/for battle to(wards) plain Jericho

14 Ngalelolanga uThixo waphakamisa uJoshuwa emehlweni abo bonke abako-Israyeli; njalo bamhlonipha okwempilo yakhe yonke, njengoba babehloniphe uMosi.

in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to magnify LORD [obj] Joshua in/on/with eye: seeing all Israel and to fear: revere [obj] him like/as as which to fear: revere [obj] Moses all day life his

15 UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa,

16 “Laya abaphristi abathwele umtshokotsho woBufakazi bakhuphuke baphume eJodani.”

to command [obj] [the] priest to lift: bear ark [the] testimony and to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan

17 Ngakho uJoshuwa walaya abaphristi wathi, “Phumani phakathi kweJodani.”

and to command Joshua [obj] [the] priest to/for to say to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan

18 Abaphristi baphuma emfuleni bethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo. Bonela ukunyathela umhlabathi owomileyo amanzi eJodani ahle abuyela endaweni yawo, ageleza okomfula ogcweleyo njengakuqala.

19 Ngelanga letshumi enyangeni yakuqala abantu basuka eJodani bayamisa izihonqo eGiligali emngceleni ongempumalanga yeJerikho.

and [the] people to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan in/on/with ten to/for month [the] first and to camp in/on/with Gilgal in/on/with end east Jericho

20 UJoshuwa wamisa amatshe alitshumi ayethethwe phakathi kweJodani eGiligali.

and [obj] two ten [the] stone [the] these which to take: take from [the] Jordan to arise: establish Joshua in/on/with Gilgal

21 Wakhuluma kwabako-Israyeli wathi, “Kwelizayo nxa izizukulwane zenu zingabuza abazali bazo zisithi, ‘Amatshe la atshoni?’

and to say to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel to/for to say which to ask [emph?] son: descendant/people your tomorrow [obj] father their to/for to say what? [the] stone [the] these

22 Kumele libatshele ukuthi ‘Abako-Israyeli bachapha uJodani emhlabathini owomileyo!’

and to know [obj] son: child your to/for to say in/on/with dry land to pass Israel [obj] [the] Jordan [the] this

23 Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu womisa umfula uJodani phambi kwenu laze lachapha. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wenza kuJodani lokho akwenza oLwandle Olubomvu aze alomise phambi kwethu saze sachapha sonke.

which to wither LORD God your [obj] water [the] Jordan from face: before your till to pass you like/as as which to make: do LORD God your to/for sea Red (Sea) which to wither from face: before our till to pass we

24 Wenza lokhu ukuze abantu bonke bomhlaba bakwazi ukuthi isandla sikaThixo silamandla lokuthi lihlale limesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”

because to know all people [the] land: country/planet [obj] hand: power LORD for strong he/she/it because to fear: revere [obj] LORD God your all [the] day: always
