1 Sasesiphenduka sisenyuka ngendlela yeBashani. UOgi inkosi yeBashani wasephuma ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eEdreyi.
Mushure maizvozvo takadzoka tikakwidza nenzira inoenda kuBhashani, uye Ogi mambo weBhashani nehondo yake yose vakauya kuzorwa nesu paEdhirei.
2 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kimi: Ungamesabi, ngoba ngizamnikela labantu bakhe bonke lelizwe lakhe esandleni sakho; njalo uzakwenza kuye njengokwenza kwakho kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni.
Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Usatya nokuda kwake, nokuti ndakamuisa kwauri uye nenyika yake. Muitire sezvamakaita kuna Sihani mambo wavaAmoni, akanga achitonga muHeshibhoni.”
3 Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yanikela esandleni sethu loOgi inkosi yeBashani labo bonke abantu bakhe; sasesimtshaya, kakwaze kwasala lansali kuye.
Naizvozvo Jehovha Mwari wedu akaisawo Ogi mambo weBhashani nehondo yake yose mumaoko edu. Takavaparadza tikasasiya kana mumwe chete mupenyu.
4 Sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe ngalesosikhathi; kwakungelamuzi esingawuthathanga kibo; imizi engamatshumi ayisithupha, isabelo sonke seArigobi, umbuso kaOgi eBashani.
Panguva iyoyo takatora maguta ake ose. Hapana kana guta rimwe chete ratisina kuvatorera pamaguta makumi matanhatu, nyika yose yeArigobhu, noushe hwaOgi muBhashani.
5 Yonke limizi yayivikelwe ngemithangala ephakemeyo, amasango lemigoqo, ngaphandle kwemizana eminengi kakhulu engelamithangala.
Maguta ose iwaya akanga akapoteredzwa namasvingo marefu namasuo namazariro, uye kwakanga kunewo misha mizhinji kwazvo yakanga isina kukomberedzwa namasvingo.
6 Sasesiyitshabalalisa, njengokwenza kwethu kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, satshabalalisa yonke imizi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana.
Takaaparadza zvachose, sezvatakaitira Sihoni mambo weHeshibhoni, takaparadza guta rimwe nerimwe, varume, navakadzi uye navana.
7 Kodwa zonke izifuyo lempango yemizi, saziphangela.
Asi zvipfuwo zvose nezvatakapamba kubva mumaguta avo takazvitora zvikava zvedu.
8 Ngalesosikhathi sasesithatha esandleni samakhosi amabili amaAmori ilizwe, elalinganeno kweJordani, kusukela esifuleni iArinoni kuze kube sentabeni yeHermoni.
Saka nenguva iyoyo takatorera madzimambo maviri aya avaAmoni nyika yokumabvazuva kweJorodhani, kubva paMupata weArinoni kusvikira kuGomo reHerimoni.
9 (AmaSidoni ayibiza iHermoni ngokuthi yiSiriyoni, lamaAmori ayibiza ngokuthi yiSeniri.)
(Herimoni rinonzi Sirioni navaSidhoni; vaAmori vanoriti Seniri).
10 Yonke imizi yemagcekeni, leGileyadi yonke, leBashani yonke, kuze kube seSaleka leEdreyi, imizi yombuso kaOgi eBashani.
Takatora maguta ose enzvimbo yakakwirira neGireadhi yose, uye neBhashani yose kusvikira paSareka neEdhirei, maguta oushe hwaOgi muBhashani.
11 Ngoba nguOgi kuphela, inkosi yeBashani, owasalayo kunsali yeziqhwaga; khangela, umbheda wakhe wawungumbheda wensimbi; kawukho yini eRaba yabantwana bakoAmoni? Ubude bawo babuzingalo eziyisificamunwemunye, lobubanzi bawo babuzingalo ezine, ngokwengalo yomuntu.
(Ogi mambo weBhashani ndiye chete akasara pane vakasara vevaRefaiti. Mubhedha wake wakanga wakagadzirwa nesimbi uye wakanga wakareba makubhiti mapfumbamwe uye makubhiti mana paupamhi. Uchiriko muRabha ravaAmoni.)
12 Lalelilizwe sadla ilifa lalo ngalesosikhathi; kusukela eAroweri, elisesifuleni seArinoni, lengxenye yentaba yeGileyadi lemizi yayo ngayipha abakoRubeni labakoGadi.
Panyika yatakatora panguva iyoyo, ndakapa vaRubheni navaGadhi nyika yokumusoro kweAroeri Mupata weArimoni, kusanganisira nehafu yenyika yamakomo yeGireadhi, pamwe chete namaguta ayo.
13 Lokuseleyo kweGileyadi leBashani yonke, umbuso kaOgi, ngakunika kungxenye yesizwe sakoManase; isabelo sonke seArigobi, layo yonke iBashani, eyayithiwa yilizwe leziqhwaga.
Imwe nyika yose yeGireadhi uyewo neBhashani yose, muumambo hwaOgi ndakapa kuhafu yorudzi rwaManase. (Nyika yose yeArigobhu muBhashani yaimbozivikanwa senyika yavaRefaimu.
14 UJayiri indodana kaManase wathatha isabelo sonke seArigobi, kuze kube semngceleni wamaGeshuri lowamaMahakathi; wayibiza imizi ngebizo lakhe wathi yiBashani-Havothi-Jayiri, kuze kube yilolusuku.
Jairi mwana waManase, akatora nyika yose yeArigobhu, kusvikira kumuganhu wavaGeshuri navaMaakati, akaitumidza zita rake zvokuti nanhasi Bhashani inonzi Havhoti Jairi.)
15 Ngasengimnika uMakiri iGileyadi.
Uye ndakapa Gireadhi kuna Makiri.
16 LakwabakoRubeni lakwabakoGadi nganika kusukela eGileyadi ngitsho kuze kufike esifuleni seArinoni, phakathi laphakathi kwesifula, lomngcele, njalo kuze kube sesifuleni iJaboki, umngcele wabantwana bakoAmoni.
Asi vaRubheni navaGadhi ndakavapa nyika inobva paGireadhi zvichidzika kusvikira paMupata weArinoni (pakati pemupata uriwo muganhu) uye kubuda kusvikira kuRwizi Jabhoki, unova ndiwo muganhu wavaAmoni.
17 Lamagceke, leJordani, lomngcele, kusukela eKinerethi njalo kuze kufike elwandle lwemagcekeni, ulwandle lwetshwayi, ngaphansi kweAshidodi-Pisiga ngasempumalanga.
Muganhu wayo wokumavirira waiva Jorodhani muArabha, kubva Kinereti kusvika kuGungwa reArabha (Gungwa roMunyu), mujinga mamawere ePisiga.
18 Ngasengililaya ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ilinikile lelilizwe libe yilifa lenu. Lizachapha lihlomile phambi kwabafowenu, abantwana bakoIsrayeli, wonke amadodana angamaqhawe.
Panguva iyo ndakakurayirai, ndikati, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu akakupai nyika iyi kuti ive yenyu. Asi varume vose vakasimba vanofanira kuyambuka pamberi pehama dzenyu vaIsraeri, vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa.
19 Kuphela omkenu labantwanyana benu lezifuyo zenu - ngiyazi ukuthi lilezifuyo ezinengi - kuzahlala emizini yenu engilinike yona,
Asi, vakadzi venyu navana venyu uye nezvipfuwo zvenyu (ndinoziva kuti mune zvipfuwo zvakawanda) zvinosara mumaguta andakakupai,
20 iNkosi ize ibanike ukuphumula abafowenu njengani, baze bathi labo badle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ebaphe lona, ngaphetsheya kweJordani; beselibuyela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lakhe, engilinike lona.
kusvikira Jehovha apa hama dzenyu zororo sezvaakarayira kwamuri, uye naivowo vatora nyika yavanopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu mhiri kwaJorodhani. Shure kwaizvozvo mumwe nomumwe wenyu achadzoka kunhaka yandakakupai.”
21 Njalo ngamlaya uJoshuwa ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Amehlo akho abonile konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ekwenze kulawomakhosi amabili; izakwenza njalo iNkosi kuyo yonke imibuso ozakwedlulela kuyo.
Panguva iyo ndakarayira Joshua, ndikati, “Wakaona nameso ako zvose zvakaitwa naJehovha Mwari wako kumadzimambo maviri aya. Jehovha achaita zvimwe chetezvo kuushe hwose mhiri uko kwamunoenda.
22 Lingabesabi, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, yona izalilwela.
Usavatya; Jehovha Mwari wako pachake achakurwira.”
23 Ngasengiyincenga iNkosi ngalesosikhathi ngisithi:
Zvino ndakanyengetera kuna Jehovha panguva iyo, ndikati,
24 Nkosi Jehova, wena usuqalile ukutshengisa inceku yakho ubukhulu bakho lesandla sakho esilamandla; ngoba nguwuphi unkulunkulu emazulwini lemhlabeni ongenza njengemisebenzi yakho lanjengamandla akho?
“Imi Ishe Jehovha, makatanga kuratidza muranda wenyu ukuru hwenyu noruoko rwenyu rune simba. Nokuti ndoupiko Mwari kudenga kana panyika angaita zvakafanana namabasa enyu uye namabasa makuru amunoita?
25 Ngicela ngichaphe, ngibone ilizwe elihle elingaphetsheya kweJordani, leyontaba enhle, leLebhanoni.
Nditenderei henyu kuti ndiyambuke ndinoona nyika yakanaka iri mhiri kwaJorodhani, iyo nyika yamakomo yakanaka neRebhanoni.”
26 Kodwa iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, kayingizwanga; iNkosi yasisithi kimi: Kwenele kuwe; ungabe usaphinda ukukhuluma kimi ngaloludaba.
Asi nokuda kwenyu, Jehovha akanditsamwira akasandinzwa Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Zvaringana. Usataurazve kwandiri pamusoro peshoko iri.
27 Yenyukela engqongeni yePisiga, uphakamisele amehlo akho ngentshonalanga langenyakatho langeningizimu langempumalanga, ukhangele ngamehlo akho; ngoba kawuyikuchapha le iJordani.
Kwira pamusoro pegomo rePisiga ugotarisa kumadokero nokumusoro nezasi nokumabvazuva, uone nyika yacho nameso ako, sezvo usingazoyambuki Jorodhani urwu.
28 Kodwa laya uJoshuwa, umkhuthaze, umqinise; ngoba yena uzachapha phambi kwalababantu, laye abenze badle ilifa lelizwe ozalibona.
Asi rayira Joshua, ugomukurudzira nokumusimbisa nokuti achatungamirira vanhu ava pakuyambuka uye achaita kuti vagare nhaka yenyika yauchaona.”
29 Sasesihlala esigodini maqondana leBeti-Peyori.
Saka takagara mumupata uri pedyo neBheti Peori.
