1 Kwasekusithi lapho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uyithumbile iAyi, wayitshabalalisa, njengalokho akwenza eJeriko lenkosini yayo, wenze njalo eAyi lenkosini yayo, lokuthi abahlali beGibeyoni benza ukuthula loIsrayeli, babephakathi kwabo,
Hanki Jerusalemi kini ne' Adonizedekima antahiama, Josuama Jeriko kumate'ma hu'neaza huno Ai rankuma'ene ana kumate kini ne'ene, ha'ma hu agatereno zamahe hanama nehuno kumazmima eri havizama hu'nea ke'ne, Gibioni vahe'mo'zama Israeli naga'enema mago zamarimpa hu'za manisaza zamofo ke'ma huvempama hu'naza kema nentahino'a,
2 besaba kakhulu, ngoba iGibeyoni yayingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, langoba yayinkulu kuleAyi, lamadoda ayo wonke engamaqhawe.
agrane vahe'amozanena ana zankura tusi'a zamagogogu hu'naze. Na'ankure Gibioni kumamo'a mago'a kumara agatereno agi me'nea rankumakino, Ai rankuma'enena rugaterene. Hagi ana rankumapina hanavenentake sondia veneneraminke mani'naze.
3 Ngakho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema yathumela kuHohamu inkosi yeHebroni, lakuPiramu inkosi yeJarimuthi, lakuJafiya inkosi yeLakishi, lakuDebiri inkosi yeEgiloni, esithi:
E'ina hu'negu Jerusalemi kini ne Adonizedekia 4'a rankumate kini vahetega kea atrezamante'ne. Ana vahera Hebroni kini ne' Hohamuma, Piramu kini ne' Jarmutima, Jafia kini ne' Lakisima, Debiri kini ne' Eklonima huno kea atre'zamante'ne.
4 Yenyukelani kimi lingisize, ukuze siyitshaye iGibeyoni; ngoba yenzile ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ana kini nagakura amanage hu'ne, tamagra etma eme naza hinketa Gibioni nagara hara huzmantaneno. Na'ankure zamagra Josuane Israeli vahe'enena huvempa hu'za hara osu'za, mago zamarimpa hu'za manisnaza naneke huhagerafi'naze.
5 Ngakho amakhosi amahlanu amaAmori, inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni, ahlangana enyuka, wona lamabutho awo wonke, amisa inkamba maqondana leGibeyoni, alwa layo.
Hanki 5fu'a Amori kini vahe'ma eme eri atruma hu'nazana, Jerusalemi kini neki, Hebroni kini neki, Jarmuti kini ne'ki, Lakisine Ekloni kini netre'ne hu'za sondia vahe'zamia eri tru hu'za seli nona ome ki'za avazagigagi'za manine'za, Gibioni vahera hara huzmante'naze.
6 Amadoda eGibeyoni asethumela kuJoshuwa enkambeni yeGiligali esithi: Isandla sakho singatshiyi izinceku zakho; yenyukela kithi masinyane usisindise usisize, ngoba amakhosi wonke amaAmori ahlala ezintabeni asesihlanganyele.
Anante Gibioni vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'ma Gilgalima kuma eme ante'za mani'nare Josuantega kea atrente'za amanage hu'naze, eri'za vahekamota kamefira huoraminka ame hunka emrerinka tagu'vazinka taza huo. Na'ankure Amori kini vahetamima agonamofo asoparegama nemaniza kini vahe'mo'za eri tru hu'za ha' eme hurante'za nehaze.
7 Ngakho uJoshuwa wenyuka esuka eGiligali, yena labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla.
Hanki Josua'ma ananke'ma nentahino'a, sondia vahe'ane knare'ma hu'za ha'ma nehaza vahera maka zamavareno Gilgalia atreno Gibioni vahe'mokizmia zamaza hunaku marerino vu'ne.
8 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungabesabi, ngoba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; kakulamuntu wabo ozakuma phambi kwakho.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra korora zamagrikura osuo. Na'ankure zamagrira ko kagri kazampi zamavare ante'nogu, mago ne'mo'e huno kagrira hara hu kagateoregahie.
9 UJoshuwa wasebajuma, enyuke ubusuku bonke esuka eGiligali.
Anante Josua'ene ana maka sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke vu'za Amori vahe'ma eritru hu'zama mani'nafi antri hazaza hu'za ame hu'za hara ome huzmante'naze.
10 INkosi yabasanganisa phambi kukaIsrayeli, yabatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu eGibeyoni, yaxotshana labo endleleni enyukela eBhethi-Horoni, yabatshaya kwaze kwaba seAseka kwaze kwaba seMakeda.
Ana'ma hazageno'a Ra Anumzamo Israeli naga'mokizmi zamavufi Amori vahera zamazeri neginagi hige'za, rama'a vahe Gibioni kumatera zamahete'za, mago'a vahera zamarotago hu'za Bet-horonima mareneri'za karanka zamaheme vu'za Azekane, Makeda kumate'ene uhanati'naze.
11 Kwasekusithi besabaleka phambi kukaIsrayeli ekwehleni kweBhethi-Horoni, iNkosi yaphosela phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu evela emazulwini, kwaze kwaba seAzeka, njalo bafa. Babebanengi abafa ngesiqhotho okwedlula labo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abababulala ngenkemba.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamagoro'ma hu'za Amori vahe'mo'za Bet-horoniti'ma fre'za Azekama urami'nea kantega nevazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a tusinasi ko'mopa ko atregeno havegna huno herafiramino, Amori vahera zamahe fri'ne. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama bainati kazinteti'ma zamahe fri'nazama'a ruzamagatereno haveretira zamahe fri'ne.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wakhuluma eNkosini mhla iNkosi inikela amaAmori phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli: Langa, mana eGibeyoni, lawe nyanga, esihotsheni seAjaloni.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamaza hige'za, Amori vahe'ma ha'ma hu zamagateraza knazupa Josua'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamufi Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno asami'ne, zagemoka uoraminka Gibioni megeno, ikamoka Azaloni agupofi megahane.
13 Lelanga lathi mpo lenyanga yema, abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Lokhu kakubhaliwe yini egwalweni lukaJashari? Ngakho ilanga lema phakathi komkhathi, kalaze laphangisa ukutshona phose okosuku olupheleleyo.
Higeno zagemo'a anante megeno, ikamo'enena ohanatine. Ana hu'nege'za Israeli naga'mo'za ha' vahezamia hara huzmagatere'naze. Ana zupa zagemo'a uofreno anuntumpi me'nege'za hara hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hu'naza zamofo agenkea Jashariema nehaza avontafepi krente'naze. (Jasahariema hu'neana fatgo vahe'mokizmi avontafere hu'ne.)
14 Kaluzanga lube khona usuku olunjalo ngaphambi kwalo loba emva kwalo lapho iNkosi eyalizwa khona ilizwi lomuntu, ngoba iNkosi yamlwela uIsrayeli.
Korapa knareti'ma eno meninte'ma ehanati'neana, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuna antahizamino e'inahukna zana erifore osu'neankna kna efore hu'neankino, henkanena anara osugahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a magoke ne'mofo ke antahimino Israeli vahetega anteno Agra hara hu'ne.
15 UJoshuwa wasebuyela enkambeni eGiligali loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye.
Hagi ha'ma huvagarete'za Josua'ene ana maka Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Gilgalima kuma'ma eme ante'za mani'narega ete vu'naze.
16 Kodwa lawomakhosi amahlanu abaleka, acatsha ebhalwini eMakeda.
Anama hutazageno'a 5fu'a kini vahe'mo'za koro fre'za vu'za Makida kuma tavaonte mago havegampi ome fraki'naze.
17 Kwasekubikwa kuJoshuwa ukuthi: Amakhosi amahlanu atholwe ecatshile ebhalwini eMakeda.
Hanki mago'a vahe'mo'za ana 5fu'a kini vahe'ma Makida havegampi fra'maki'nazana kete'za, Josuana eme asamizageno,
18 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Giqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, limise amadoda kulo ukuwalinda.
Josua'a sondia vahera zamasamino, ranra haverami atufetma ana havegana renkanineretma, mago'a sondia vahera huzmantenke'za anante kva hu'za maniho.
19 Kodwa lina lingami; xotshanani lezitha zenu, lizitshaye ngemuva kwazo, lingaziyekeli zingene emizini yazo, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izinikele esandleni senu.
Ana'ma nehutma tamagra manigasa osutma, ha' vahetamia zamefi zamarotgo hutma kuma'zmifina uofre'nesagetama hara ome huzmanteho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo ana vahetamina ko tamazampi zamavarente'ne.
20 Kwasekusithi lapho uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebeqedile ukuzitshaya ngokutshaya okukhulukazi zaze zaqedwa, insali eyasalayo yazo yangena emizini evikelweyo.
Hanki Josua'ene Israeli ha' vahe'zamia zamarotgo hu'za zamahe hana hu'za kantega vazage'za, osi'a naga'mo'za koro fre'za rankuma zamimofo vihufi ufre'naze.
21 Labantu bonke babuyela enkambeni kuJoshuwa eMakeda ngokuthula; kakho owanyikinya ulimi lwakhe emelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ana'ma hute'za ana maka Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamavufarera hazenkea e'ori, Makida kuma'ma omente'zama mani'nare Josua'a mani'nege'za ete e'naze. Ana'ma hazage'za magore hu'za Kenani mopare vahe'mo'za Israeli vahetega mago kea huozmante'naze.
22 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Vulani umlomo wobhalu, likhuphele kimi lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini.
Anante Josua'a amanage hu'ne, Havegama renkanimare'naza haveramina eri atretma ana 5fu'a kini vahera havegampintira zamavareta nagrite eho.
23 Basebesenza njalo, bawakhuphela kuye lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini: Inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni.
Hanki kema hia ke amagente'za ana kini vahera havegampintira ome zamavaremegi atre'za zamavare'zama e'nazana, Jerusalemi kinigi Hebroni kinigi, Jarmuti kinigi, Lakisi kinigi, Ekloni kini neki hu'za zamavare'za Josuante e'naze.
24 Kwasekusithi sebewakhuphele kuJoshuwa lawomakhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihambe laye: Sondelani, libeke inyawo zenu entanyeni zalamakhosi. Zasezisondela, zabeka inyawo zazo entanyeni zawo.
Ana kini vahera zamavare'za etageno, Josua'a maka Israeli vahera kehu tru huteno, sondia vahete kva vahe'ma agranema ha'ma ome hu'naza vahe'mokizmia amanage huno zamasami'ne, amare etma tamaganuti ama kini vahe'mokizmi zamanankena rentroko hiho, hige'za Josuankea amage ante'za ana hu'naze.
25 UJoshuwa wasesithi kuzo: Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; qinani lime isibindi, ngoba iNkosi izakwenza njalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu elilwa limelene lazo.
Hanki Josua'a Israeli vahe'mokizmia amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra korora huge, antahintahi hakarea osiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amama hiaza huno maka ha' vahetamima ha'ma huzmante'nazana anahu zanke hugahie.
26 Emva kwalokho uJoshuwa wasewatshaya wawabulala, wawalengisa ezihlahleni ezinhlanu; njalo ayelenga ezihlahleni kwaze kwahlwa.
Anage huteno Josua'a ana kini vahera zamahe friteno, 5fu'a zafare zamufga hantintegeno me'negeno vuno kinaga zagea ufre'ne.
27 Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule ezihlahleni, bawaphosele ebhalwini ayecatshe khona; basebefaka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, akhona kuze kube yilona lolusuku.
Hagi zagema ufregeno'a Josua'a huzmantege'za ana vahe zamavufaga zafaretira erifenka atre'za, ko'ma fra'makiza mani'naza havegampi ome zamatrete'za ana havegantera ranra havenuti renkani razageno meno eno, ama knarera ehanatine.
28 UJoshuwa wathumba layo iMakeda ngalolosuku, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, watshabalalisa lenkosi yayo, bona, layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, katshiyanga insali. Wasesenza enkosini yeMakeda njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
Hagi ana zupage Josua'a Makida rankumara hara hu zamagtereno kini ne'zamine ana maka vahera kazinteti zamahe fri vagare'ne. Ana kumapina mago'zane huno otreno ana maka'zana eri haviza nehuno, mago vahera atregeno omani'ne. Hagi Jeriko kini ne'ma hunte'neaza huno, Makida kumate kini nera ana zanke hunte'ne.
29 UJoshuwa, loIsrayeli wonke laye, wasedlula esuka eMakeda waya eLibhina, walwa emelene leLibhina.
Hanki Makida rankumama ha'ma huzamagaterete'za, Josua'ene sondia naga'mo'za Makida atre'za vu'za Libna kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.
30 INkosi yasiyinikela layo lenkosi yayo esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyitshaya ngobukhali benkemba lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo; katshiyanga insali kiyo; wenza enkosini yayo njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo anahukna huno Israeli vahera zamaza hige'za, Libna kini ne'ene ana maka vahe'anena kazinteti zamahe vagare'naze. Ana kumapina Josua'a mago'zane huno otreno, ana maka'zana eri haviza nehuno mago vahere huno atregeno omani'ne. Hagi Jeriko kini ne'ma hunte'neaza huno, Libna kini nera ana zanke hunte'ne.
31 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLibhina, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, waya eLakishi, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo, walwa emelene layo.
Ana'ma hute'za, Josua'ene Israeli sondia naga'mo'za Libna kumara atre'za vu'za, Lakisi kumara ome avazagigagi'za mani'ne'za hara huzmante'naze.
32 INkosi yasiyinikela iLakishi esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyithumba ngosuku lwesibili, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, njengakho konke akwenza eLibhina.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo Israeli vahe'mokizmia zamaza huno hara higeno, nampa 2 knarera Josua'a Lakisi vahera hara hu zamagaterege'za, ana maka vahera Libna kumate vahe'ma hu'nazaza hu'za bainati kazinteti zamahe fri vagare'naze.
33 Ngalesosikhathi uHoramu inkosi yeGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; kodwa uJoshuwa wamtshaya labantu bakhe, kwaze kwathi kamtshiyelanga insali.
Anante Gezeri kini ne' Horamua Lakisi vahetami hara huzmaza hu'naku mrerino egeno, Josua'a ana kini ne'ene naga'anena hara nehuno, mago vahere huno ozmantre'neanki zamahe fri vagare'naze.
34 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLakishi, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eEgiloni, bamisa inkamba maqondana layo, balwa bemelene layo.
Ana'ma huteno'a Josua'a miko Israeli vahe'ene Lakisia atre'za Ekloni vu'za, kafo ome ante'za mani'ne'za avazagi kagiza hara huzmante'naze.

40 Ngakho uJoshuwa walitshaya ilizwe lonke lezintaba leleningizimu lelesihotsha lelamawatha lawo wonke amakhosi abo; katshiyanga insali, kodwa watshabalalisa konke okuphefumulayo, njengokulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
