2 UMozisi inceku yami usefile; ngakho-ke sukuma uchaphe le iJordani, wena labo bonke lababantu, liye elizweni engibanika lona, ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli.

5 Kakulamuntu ozakuma phambi kwakho zonke izinsuku zempilo yakho. Njengalokhu ngangiloMozisi, ngizakuba lawe; kangiyikukutshiya, kangiyikukulahla.

10 UJoshuwa waselaya izinduna zabantu, esithi:
Higeno Josua'a amanage huno Israeli kva vahe'mokizmia zamasami'ne,
11 Dabulani phakathi kwenkamba lilaye abantu lithi: Zilungiseleni umphako, ngoba kusesezinsuku ezintathu lizachapha le iJordani, ukuze lingene lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elinika lona ukuthi lidle ilifa lalo.

12 UJoshuwa wasekhuluma kwabakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase esithi:
Hagi Josua'a Rubeni naga'ene Gati naga'ene, Manase naga'ma amu'nompinti refkoma hu'naza naga'enena amanage huno zamasmi'ne,
13 Khumbulani ilizwi uMozisi inceku yeNkosi alilaya ngalo esithi: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu iyaliphumuza, ilinika lelilizwe.
Maka nanekema Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tamasami'nea kegura tamagera okaniho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a mani fru hiho huno ama mopa tamagrira neramie.
14 Omkenu, abantwanyana benu, lezifuyo zenu kuzahlala elizweni uMozisi alinika lona nganeno kweJordani; kodwa lina lizachapha lihlomile phambi kwabafowenu, wonke amaqhawe alamandla, libasize,

15 iNkosi ize iphumuze abafowenu njengani, labo njalo badle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ebanika lona. Lizabuyela-ke elizweni lelifa lenu, lidle ilifa lalo, uMozisi inceku yeNkosi alinika lona, nganeno kweJordani, empumalanga.
Hanki tamafuhe'ina zamaza nehinke'za hara hu'za mopa erisageno, tamagri'ma hu'neaza huno Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo mani fru nezamino mopama nezamia moparera umanitesageta, ete etma Jodani timofo kama kaziga Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo Mosese'ma tami'nea moparera emanigahaze.
16 Basebemphendula uJoshuwa besithi: Konke osilaya khona sizakwenza, laloba ngaphi lapho ozasithuma khona sizahamba.
Josua'ma anagema hutege'za, agri kemofo nona'a amanage hu'naze, nazano hihoma hunka hana zana nehuta, inantego vihoma hunka hurantesantega vugahune.
17 Njengakho konke esamlalela uMozisi ngakho, ngokunjalo sizakulalela. Kuphela iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ibe lawe njengoba yayiloMozisi.
Hagi tagra ana maka Mosese'ma hiankema antahita amage ante'nonaza huta, kagri kea amage antegahune. Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo Mosese'ene mani'neaza huno kagrane manigahie.
18 Wonke umuntu ozavukela umlomo wakho, angalaleli amazwi akho, kukho konke omlaya khona, uzabulawa. Kuphela qina, ume isibindi.
