1 Emva kokufa kukaJoshuwa, abako-Israyeli babuza uThixo bathi, “Pho ngubani ozahamba kuqala ukuba ayesilwela lamaKhenani na?”
Joshua a dueknah hnukah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a dawt uh tih, “Ulae kaimih ham Kanaan taengla aka cet vetih a moecuek kah bangla anih te a vathoh thil lah ve,” a ti uh.
2 UThixo waphendula wathi, “NguJuda ozahamba; ilizwe sengilinikele ezandleni zabo.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Judah te cet saeh lamtah khohmuen he a kut ah ka paek tangtae coeng ni ke,” a ti nah.
3 Lapho-ke abantu bakoJuda bathi kwabakoSimiyoni abafowabo, “Hambani lathi elizweni esalabelwayo, ukuyakulwa lamaKhenani. Lathi sizakwenanisa ngokuhamba lani kwelenu.” Ngakho abakoSimiyoni ahamba labo.
Te vaengah a manuca Simeon te, “Kai hmulung khuila kamah taengla ha luei lamtah Kanaan ke vathoh thil sih. Kai khaw nang hmulung kah khuikah nang taengah ka pongpa van eh,” a ti nah tih Simeon khaw anih taengla cet.
4 Kwathi uJuda esehlasele, uThixo wanikela amaKhenani lamaPherizi ezandleni zabo, wabulala abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi eBhezekhi.
Judah a luei vaengah BOEIPA loh amih kut ah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloeng pah tih Bezek ah hlang thawng rha a tloek uh.
5 Kukhonapho abafica khona u-Adoni-Bhezekhi balwa laye, baqothula amaKhenani kanye lamaPherizi.
Bezek ah Adonibezek te a hmuh uh tih anih te a tloek uh phoeiah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloek uh.
6 U-Adoni-Bhezekhi wabaleka, kodwa baxotshana laye baze bambamba, bamquma izithupha zakhe lamazwane amakhulu.
Adonibezek te rhaelrham van dae a hnukah a hloem uh tih a kae uh vaengah a kut a kho kah kutnu khonu te a tlueh pauh.
7 U-Adoni-Bhezekhi wasesithi, “Amakhosi angamatshumi ayisikhombisa ayequnywe izithupha zawo lamazwane amakhulu ayedobha imvuthuluka ngaphansi kwetafula yami. Khathesi uNkulunkulu usephindisele kimi ngalokho engakwenza kuwo.” Bamusa eJerusalema lapho afela khona.
Te vaengah Adonibezek loh, “Manghai sawmrhih kut kho kah kutnu khonu ka tlueh pah tih ka caboei hmuikah cakdik aka rhut la om uh. Ka saii bangla Pathen loh kai taengah han thuung coeng,” a ti. Anih te Jerusalem la a khuen uh tih te ah te duek.
8 Abantu bakoJuda bahlasela leJerusalema bayithumba. Bahlasela idolobho ngezinkemba balithungela ngomlilo.
Judah ca rhoek loh Jerusalem te a vathoh thil uh tih a buem uh. cunghang ha neh a ngawn phoeiah khopuei te hmai ah a pup uh.
9 Emva kwalokho, abantu bakoJuda bahamba bayakulwa lamaKhenani ayehlala elizweni lezintaba, iNegebi kanye lamawatha ezintaba angasentshonalanga.
Te phoeiah tlang neh tuithim kolrhawk kah aka om Kanaan te tloek ham Judah ca rhoek loh suntla uh.
10 Baqhubeka bayahlasela amaKhenani ayehlala eHebhroni (kuqala eyayithiwa yiKhiriyathi Aribha) banqoba uSheshayi, u-Ahimani kanye loThalimayi.
Te phoeiah Hebron ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Judah loh a paan bal. Hebron kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriatharba ni. Te vaengah Sheshai, Ahiman neh Talmai te khaw a tloek uh.

Te lamloh Debir kah khosa rhoek te a paan uh cetuh. Derbir kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriathsepher ni.
12 UKhalebi wathi, “Ngizakwendisela indodakazi yami u-Akhisa endodeni ezahlasela ithumbe iKhiriyathi-Sefa.”
Te vaengah Kaleb loh, “Kiriathsepher aka tloek tih aka buem te tah ka canu Akcah te a yuu la ka paek ni,” a ti.
13 U-Othiniyeli, indodana kaKhenazi, umnawakhe kaKhalebi, wayithumba; ngakho uKhalebi wendisela indodakazi yakhe u-Akhisa kuye.
Te dongah Kaleb mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh a buem tih a canu Akcah te a yuu la a paek.
14 Ngelinye ilanga u-Akhisa wafika ku-Othiniyeli wamkhuthaza ukuthi acele insimu kuyise. Lapho esehlile kubabhemi wakhe uKhalebi wambuza wathi, “Kuyini engingakwenzela khona?”
A yuu te ha pawk vaengah a napa taengkah khohmuen bih ham a va te a vueh. laak dong lamkah a bit uh vanneh anih te Kaleb loh, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh,” a ti nah.
15 Waphendula wathi, “Ngicela ungenzele umusa obalulekileyo. Njengoba unginike umhlaba eNegebi, ngicela unginike lemithombo yamanzi.” Ngakho uKhalebi wamnika imithombo eyayingaphezulu leyayingaphansi.
Te dongah a canu loh, “Kai ham khaw yoethennah nan suem vanbangla tuithim khohmuen ke kai m'pae mai lamtah tuidueh tui khaw kai ham nam paek mai mako,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Kaleb loh a siip tuidueh neh a hnawt tuidueh te a paek.
16 Abayinzalo kayisezala kaMosi, amaKheni, bahamba labantu bakoJuda besuka edolobheni laMalala besiyahlala phakathi kwabantu basenkangala yakoJuda eNegebi eduze le-Aradi.
Rhophoe khopuei lamkah Moses masae Keni ca rhoek neh Arad tuithim Judah khosoek Judah ca rhoek tah luei uh tih pilnam taengah kho a sak uh.
17 Emva kwalokho abantu bakoJuda bahamba labakoSimiyoni abafowabo bahlasela amaKhenani ayehlala eZefathi, idolobho basebelichitha ngokupheleleyo. Ngakho lathiwa yiHoma.

18 Abantu bakoJuda bathumba njalo iGaza, i-Ashikheloni kanye le-Ekroni, idolobho linye ngalinye kanye lelizwe lalo.
Te vaengah Judah loh Gaza neh a khorhi, Ashkelon neh a khorhi, Ekron neh a khorhi te a loh.
19 UThixo wayelabantu bakoJuda. Bathumba ilizwe lezintaba, kodwa behluleka ukuxotsha abantu ababesemagcekeni ngoba babelezinqola zempi ezenzwe ngensimbi.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judah a om puei tih tlang khaw a huul coeng dae kol kah khosa rhoek tah thi leng a khueh dongah haek thai pawh.
20 Njengokuthembisa kukaMosi, iHebhroni yaphiwa uKhalebi, owaxotsha kuyo amadodana amathathu ka-Anakhi.
Moses kah a thui bangla Hebron te Kaleb taengah a paek uh hatah te lamkah Anak ca rhoek pathum te vik a vai.
21 Kodwa abakoBhenjamini behluleka ukususa amaJebusi ayehlala eJerusalema; lalamhlanje amaJebusi ahlala khona labakoBhenjamini.

22 Ngalesosikhathi abendlu kaJosefa bahlasela iBhetheli, njalo uThixo wayelabo.
Joseph imko loh Bethel a paan uh vaengah khaw amih te BOEIPA loh a om puei.
23 Ekuthumeni kwabo abantu ukuba bayehlola iBhetheli (kuqala idolobho lelo lalithiwa yiLuzi),

24 inhloli zabona umuntu ephuma edolobheni zasezisithi kuye, “Sitshengise ukuthi singangena njani edolobheni, thina-ke sizabona ukuthi uphatheka kuhle.”

29 Labako-Efrayimi kabawaxotshanga amaKhenani ayehlala eGezeri, kodwa amaKhenani aqhubeka ehlala khona labo.
