< UJoshuwa 7 >

1 Kodwa abako-Israyeli bephula umthetho ngokuphathelane lengcebo eyayehlukaniselwe uThixo; u-Akhani indodana kaKhami, indodana kaZabhidi, indodana kaZera, owesizwana sakoJuda, wathatha ezinye zakhona. Ngakho ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha kwabako-Israyeli.
Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku xadgudbeen alaabtii la xarrimay, waayo, waxaa alaabtii la xarrimay qaar qaatay Caakaan ina Karmii, ina Sabdii, oo ahaa ina Serax, oo ahaa qabiilka Yahuudah; oo markaasaa Rabbigu aad ugu cadhooday reer binu Israa'iil.
2 UJoshuwa wasethumela amadoda esuka eJerikho esiya e-Ayi eseduzane leBhethi-Aveni ngempumalanga yeBhetheli wathi kubo: “Hambani liyehlola lelolizwe.” Ngakho amadoda aphuma ayalihlola ilizwe.
Oo Yashuuca wuxuu niman ka diray Yerixoo oo u diray Aacii, taasoo ku tiil Beytaawen dhinaceeda, oo xagga bari ka jirtay Beytel. Oo intuu la hadlay wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Bal taga oo dalka soo basaasa. Oo nimankii intay tageen ayay Aacii soo basaaseen.
3 Bathi bephindela kuJoshuwa bafika bathi, “Akudingeki ukuthi lonke ibutho liyelwisana le-Ayi. Thumela amadoda azinkulungwane ezimbili kumbe ezintathu nje ukuze ayoyithumba njalo ungaze wadinisa ibutho lonke, ngenxa yokuthi lelodolobho lilabantu abalutshwana.”
Oo markaasay Yashuuca ku soo noqdeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Dadka oo dhammu yaanay wada tegin; laakiinse laba ama saddex kun oo nin ha tageen, oo ha baabbi'iyeen Aacii; oo dadka oo dhan halkaas ha ku daalin, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way yar yihiin.
4 Amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezintathu asuka ahamba kodwa ehlulwa ngamadoda e-Ayi, wona
Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa dadkii ka tegey oo halkaas u kacay in saddex kun oo nin ku dhow, oo waxay ka hor baqdeen dadkii reer Aacii.
5 abulala amadoda angamatshumi amathathu lesithupha. Baxotsha abako-Israyeli besuka esangweni ledolobho baze bayabatshiya enkwalini bababulalela ekwehleni. Bathi besizwa lokhu abantu baba lokwesaba okukhulu, baphelelwa ngamandla.
Oo markaasaa dadkii reer Aacii waxay iyagii ka laayeen lix iyo soddon nin; oo magaalada iriddeedii ayay ka eryadeen tan iyo Shebaariim, oo waxay ku laayeen meesha dhaadhaca ah, markaasaa dadkii qalbigiisii dhalaalay, oo biyo oo kale noqday.
6 UJoshuwa wadabula izigqoko zakhe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, wala elokhu enjalo kwaze kwahlwa. Abadala bako-Israyeli labo benza njalo, basebezithela ngothuli emakhanda abo.
Markaasaa Yashuuca intuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay ayuu wejiga dhulka saaray oo wuxuu ku hor sujuuday sanduuqii Rabbiga tan iyo fiidkii, isaga iyo waayeellada reer binu Israa'iilba; oo waxay madaxa iska mariyeen boodh.
7 UJoshuwa wasesithi, “Maye, Thixo Wobukhosi, wabachaphiselani iJodani lababantu ukuzabanikela ezandleni zama-Amori ukuze asibhubhise? Ngabe sasuthiseka ngokuzihlalela kwelinye iphetsheya leJodani!
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, Way, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, ma waxaad dadkan Webi Urdun uga soo gudbisay inaad nagu riddo gacmaha reer Amor iyo inaad na halligto? Waxaa noo wanaagsanaan lahaa inaannu degno Webi Urdun shishadiisa oo halkaas raalli ku ahaanno.
8 Maye, Thixo kuyini engingakutsho, njengoba u-Israyeli esebhuqwe yizitha zakhe?
Sayidow, maxaan idhaahdaa mar hadday reer binu Israa'iil cadaawayaashoodii dhabarka u jeediyeen?
9 AmaKhenani labanye abantu belizwe bazakuzwa ngalokhu besebesihanqa besule ibizo lethu emhlabeni. Pho kuyini ozakwenzela ibizo lakho elikhulu kangaka na?”
Maxaa yeelay, reer Kancaan iyo kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu waxay maqli doonaan warkaas, oo markaasay na hareerayn doonaan oo ay magacayaga dhulka ka tiri doonaan; oo markaas maxaad u samaynaysaa magacaaga weyn?
10 UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Sukuma. Kuyini okwenzayo uthe mbo ngobuso bakho?
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Sara joogso, maxaad sidaas wejigaaga isugu tuurtay?
11 Abako-Israyeli bonile; bephule isivumelwano sami engabalaya ukuthi basigcine. Sebethethe ezinye izinto ezahlukaniselwe mina; bebile, baqamba amanga, sebezifake empangweni yabo.
Reer binu Israa'iil way dembaabeen; xataa weliba waxay ku xadgudbeen axdigaygii aan iyaga ku amray; xataa waxay wax ka qaadeen alaabtii la xarrimay, oo wax bay xadeen, khiyaanana way sameeyeen, oo waxay weliba ku dhex darsadeen alaabtoodii.
12 Yikho abako-Israyeli bengeke bamelana lezitha zabo; bayabafulathela bebaleka ngoba sebeyinto efanele ukubhujiswa. Kangisoze ngibe lani ngaphandle kokuthi lichithe lokho okwakwehlukaniselwe ukubhujiswa.
Oo sidaas daraaddeed reer binu Israa'iil cadaawayaashooda isma hor taagi karaan, oo cadaawayaashooday dhabarka u jeediyeen, maxaa yeelay, waxay noqdeen wax la xarrimay. Anigu mar dambe idinla jiri maayo, inaad alaabtii la xarrimay dhexdiinna ka baabbi'isaan mooyaane.
13 Hamba ungcwelise abantu. Ubatshele uthi, ‘Zingcweliseni ukulungiselela kusasa; ngoba lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli ukuthi: Lokho okwahlukaniselwe uThixo kuphakathi kwenu, lina bako-Israyeli. Kalingeke limelane lezitha zenu ngaphandle kokuba selikukhuphile.
Kac, oo dadka quduus ka dhig, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Berri quduus iska dhiga, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaa idinku dhex jira alaab la xarrimay, oo isma aad hor taagi kartaan cadaawayaashiinna, ilaa aad dhexdiinna ka fogaysaan alaabtii la xarrimay.
14 Ekuseni kumele lisondeze isizwana ngesizwana. Isizwana esikhethwa nguThixo kuzamele sisondele phambili usendo ngosendo; usendo oluzakhethwa nguThixo luzasondela imuli ngemuli; imuli ezakhethwa nguThixo izasondela umuntu ngamunye.
Haddaba aroorta waxaa laydiin soo dhowayn doonaa qabiil qabiil, oo qabiilkii Rabbigu soo sooco ha ii soo dhowaado iyagoo reer reer ah; oo haddana reerkii Rabbigu soo sooco, ha iigu soo dhowaadeen xaas xaas; oo haddana xaaskii Rabbigu soo sooco nin nin ha iigu soo dhowaadeen.
15 Lowo ozafunyanwa elezinto ezahlukaniselwe uThixo uzatshiswa ngomlilo, lakho konke alakho. Wephule isivumelwano sikaThixo njalo wenze into elihlazo phakathi kuka-Israyeli.’”
Oo kii laga helo alaabtii la xarrimay dab baa lagu gubi doonaa isaga iyo wuxuu haysto oo dhanba; maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku xadgudbay axdigii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iilna ku dhex sameeyey xumaan.
16 Kusesele ngelanga elilandelayo uJoshuwa wenza u-Israyeli wasondela ngezizwana, inkatho yadla koJuda.
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhoweeyey qabiil qabiil, oo markaasaa waxaa la soocay qabiilkii Yahuudah.
17 Insendo zakoJuda zasondela, inkatho yadla abakoZera. Wasondeza insendo zakoZera ngezimuli. Inkatho yadla uZabhidi.
Markaasuu hadda wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilkii Yahuudah; oo wuxuu ka soocay reerkii Serax. Markaasuu xaaskii Serax u soo dhoweeyey nin nin, oo waxaa lala baxay Sabdii.
18 UJoshuwa wasondeza imuli kaZabhidi indoda yinye ngayinye, inkatho yadla u-Akhani indodana kaKhami, indodana kaZabhidi, indodana kaZera owesizwana sakoJuda.
Markaasuu reerkiisii nin nin u soo dhoweeyey, kolkaasaa waxaa la soocay Caakaan ina Karmii, ina Sabdii, oo ahaa ina Serax ee qabiilkiisuna ahaa Yahuudah.
19 UJoshuwa wathi ku-Akhani, “Ndodana yami, dumisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, umuphe udumo. Ngitshela lokho okwenzileyo, ungaze wangifihlela.”
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Caakaan ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ammaan, oo isaga wax u qiro; oo anna hadda ii sheeg waxaad samaysay, oo ha iga qarinin.
20 U-Akhani waphendula wathi, “Liqiniso! Ngonile phambi kukaThixo, uNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli. Nanku engikwenzileyo:
Markaasaa Caakaan wuxuu Yashuuca ugu jawaabay, Sida runta ah waan ku dembaabay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaan sameeyey sidaas iyo sidaas:
21 Ngathi ngibona phakathi kwempango ingubo enhle yaseBhabhiloni, lamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amabili lomgqala wegolide olesisindo samashekeli angamatshumi amahlanu ngakuhawukela, ngakuthatha. Ngakumbela phansi ethenteni lami, isiliva singaphansi.”
markaan alaabtii boolida ahayd ku dhex arkay dhar wanaagsan oo Baabuloon laga keenay, iyo laba boqol oo sheqel oo lacag ah, iyo waslad dahab ah oo miisaankeedu yahay konton sheqel ayaan damcay, oo qaatay, oo bal eeg waxay haatan ku qarsoon yihiin dhulka meel teendhadayda dhexdeeda ah, lacagtuna way ka hoosaysaa.
22 UJoshuwa wathuma izithunywa, zagijima zaya ethenteni lakhe, zakufumana kufihlilwe ethenteni lakhe, isiliva singaphansi.
Markaasaa Yashuuca cid u diray, oo teendhaday ku ordeen, oo bal eeg, alaabtii waxay ku qarsoonayd teendhadiisii, oo waxaa ka hoosaysay lacagtii.
23 Bathatha izinto ezazisethenteni, baziletha kuJoshuwa lebantwini bonke bako-Israyeli, bazichaya phambi kukaThixo.
Oo markaasay ka bixiyeen teendhadii dhexdeedii, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxay hor dhigeen Rabbiga.
24 UJoshuwa labo bonke abako-Israyeli bathatha u-Akhani indodana kaZera lesiliva, ingubo, lomgqala wegolide, lamadodana lamadodakazi akhe, lenkomo zakhe, obabhemi kanye lezimvu, ithente lakhe lakho konke ayelakho bakusa esiHotsheni se-Akhori.
Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo isaga la jira waxay qaadeen Caakaan ina Serax, iyo lacagtii, iyo dharkii, iyo wasladdii dahabka ahayd, iyo Caakaan wiilashiisii, iyo gabdhihiisii, iyo dibidiisii, iyo dameerradiisii, iyo idihiisii, iyo teendhadiisii, iyo wixii uu haystay oo dhan; oo waxay keeneen dooxadii Caakoor.
25 UJoshuwa wathi, “Kungani usilethele uhlupho olungaka? UThixo uzakwehlisela uhlupho lamhlanje.” Bonke abako-Israyeli bamkhanda ngamatshe, njalo bathi sebeqedile ukukhanda labanye ngamatshe babatshisa.
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, War maxaad noo dhibtay? Rabbiguna maantuu ku dhibi doonaaye. Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay isaga la dheceen dhagaxyo; oo haddana waxay iyaga ku gubeen dab, oo dhagaxyona way la dheceen.
26 Babuthelela inqwaba yamatshe amakhulu phezu kuka-Akhani alokhu ekhona lalamhlanje. Ukuvutha kolaka lukaThixo kwahle kwaphela. Ngakho leyondawo lalamhlanje ilokhu isabizwa ngokuthi yisiGodi sika-Akhori.
Oo waxay ku kor tuuleen dhagaxyo badan oo jira ilaa maantadan la joogo. Markaasaa Rabbigu ka soo noqday cadhadiisii kululayd. Sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Dooxadii Caakoor, oo waa loo yaqaanna ilaa maantadan la joogo.
