UJoshuwa 10
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,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAtoni-Seteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema kuo maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAi, pea kuo ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia; hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Seliko mo hono tuʻi, kuo pehē pe ʻene fai ki ʻAi mo hono tuʻi: pea koeʻuhi kuo fakalelei mo ʻIsileli ʻae kakai ʻo Kipione, pea kuo nau nonofo;
2 besaba kakhulu, ngoba iGibeyoni yayingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, langoba yayinkulu kuleAyi, lamadoda ayo wonke engamaqhawe.
Naʻa nau manavahē lahi ai, he koeʻuhi ko e kolo lahi ʻa Kipione, ʻo hangē ha kolo ʻoe houʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ia ʻia ʻAi, pea ko e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻi ai ko e kau mālohi.
3 Ngakho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema yathumela kuHohamu inkosi yeHebroni, lakuPiramu inkosi yeJarimuthi, lakuJafiya inkosi yeLakishi, lakuDebiri inkosi yeEgiloni, esithi:
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻAtoni-Seteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema kia Hoami ko e tuʻi ʻa Hepeloni, pea kia Pilami ko e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, pea kia Safia ko e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, pea kia Tipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni, ʻo pehē,
4 Yenyukelani kimi lingisize, ukuze siyitshaye iGibeyoni; ngoba yenzile ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
“Mou haʻu ni kiate au, ʻo tokoni au, koeʻuhi ke tau taaʻi ʻa Kipione: he kuo fakalelei ia mo Siosiua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
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.
Ko ia, ko e tuʻi ʻe toko nima ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hepeloni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, ko e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni, naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻalu hake, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau tau kotoa pē, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Kipione, ko honau tauʻi ia.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Kipione kia Siosiua ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali, ʻo pehē; “ʻOua naʻa ke fakatuai ho nima mei hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; ka ke ʻalu vave hake kiate kimautolu, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, pea tokoniʻi ʻakimautolu: he ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga kuo nau kātoa kiate kimautolu ko homau tauʻi.”
7 Ngakho uJoshuwa wenyuka esuka eGiligali, yena labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Siosiua mei Kilikali, ʻa ia, mo e kakai tau kotoa pē mo ia, mo e kau tangata mālohi kotoa pē mo e toʻa.
8 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungabesabi, ngoba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; kakulamuntu wabo ozakuma phambi kwakho.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: he kuo u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima: ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu te ne tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao.”
9 UJoshuwa wasebajuma, enyuke ubusuku bonke esuka eGiligali.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻo hoko fakafokifā pē ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he poʻuli mei Kilikali.
10 INkosi yabasanganisa phambi kukaIsrayeli, yabatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu eGibeyoni, yaxotshana labo endleleni enyukela eBhethi-Horoni, yabatshaya kwaze kwaba seAseka kwaze kwaba seMakeda.
Pea naʻe veuveuki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tā lahi ʻi Kipione, pea tuli ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻalu hake ki Pete-holoni, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki ʻAseka, pea ki Maketa.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki Pete-holoni, naʻe lī hifo ai ʻe Sihova mei langi, ʻae ngaahi maka lahi kiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu ki ʻAseka, pea naʻa nau mate ai: naʻe tokolahi hake ʻakinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he ʻuha maka ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae heletā.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wakhuluma eNkosini mhla iNkosi inikela amaAmori phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli: Langa, mana eGibeyoni, lawe nyanga, esihotsheni seAjaloni.
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Siosiua kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe tukuange ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kau ʻAmoli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Laʻā, ke ke tuʻumaʻu koe ki Kipione; pea ko koe, māhina, ʻi he teleʻa ʻo ʻAsaloni.”
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe tatali pe ʻae māhina, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae fai totongi ʻe he kakai ki honau fili. ʻIkai kuo tohi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he tohi ʻa Sesa? Pea ko ia naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā ʻi he loto langi, pea naʻe ʻikai fakavave ke ʻalu hifo ia ʻi hono tatau nai mo e ʻaho kotoa.
14 Kaluzanga lube khona usuku olunjalo ngaphambi kwalo loba emva kwalo lapho iNkosi eyalizwa khona ilizwi lomuntu, ngoba iNkosi yamlwela uIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa pe kimui ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ke tokanga ʻa Sihova ki he leʻo ʻoe tangata: he naʻe tau ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli.
15 UJoshuwa wasebuyela enkambeni eGiligali loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
16 Kodwa lawomakhosi amahlanu abaleka, acatsha ebhalwini eMakeda.
Ka naʻe hola ʻae kau tuʻi ʻe toko nima ni, ʻo [nau ]fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.
17 Kwasekubikwa kuJoshuwa ukuthi: Amakhosi amahlanu atholwe ecatshile ebhalwini eMakeda.
Pea naʻe tala kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻilo ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko nima kuo nau fufū ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.”
18 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Giqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, limise amadoda kulo ukuwalinda.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Tekaʻi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea fakanofo ki ai ʻae kau tangata ke leʻohi ʻakinautolu:
19 Kodwa lina lingami; xotshanani lezitha zenu, lizitshaye ngemuva kwazo, lingaziyekeli zingene emizini yazo, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izinikele esandleni senu.
Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tatali, kae tuli ki homou ngaahi fili, pea taaʻi honau muifononga; ʻoua naʻa mou tuku ʻakinautolu ke hū ki heʻenau ngaahi kolo: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki homou nima.”
20 Kwasekusithi lapho uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebeqedile ukuzitshaya ngokutshaya okukhulukazi zaze zaqedwa, insali eyasalayo yazo yangena emizini evikelweyo.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi hono taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi ʻaupito, kenau ʻauha ai, naʻe hū ʻakinautolu naʻe hao ki he ngaahi kolo mālohi.
21 Labantu bonke babuyela enkambeni kuJoshuwa eMakeda ngokuthula; kakho owanyikinya ulimi lwakhe emelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻapitanga kia Siosiua ʻi Maketa ʻi he fiemālie: naʻe ʻikai lea kovi ha tokotaha ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
22 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Vulani umlomo wobhalu, likhuphele kimi lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini.
Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Siosiua, “Toʻo ʻae ngutu ʻana, ʻo ʻomi ʻae tuʻi naʻe toko nima kiate au mei he ʻana.”
23 Basebesenza njalo, bawakhuphela kuye lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini: Inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni.
Pea naʻa nau fai ia, ʻo ʻomi kituʻa kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ko ia ʻe toko nima mei he ʻana, ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema, mo e tuʻi ʻo Hepeloni, mo e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, mo e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi na kia Siosiua, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kautau ʻaia naʻe ʻalu mo ia, Mou ʻunuʻunu mai, pea ʻai homou vaʻe ki he kia ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ni. Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai pea naʻe ʻai honau vaʻe ki honau kia.
25 UJoshuwa wasesithi kuzo: Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; qinani lime isibindi, ngoba iNkosi izakwenza njalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu elilwa limelene lazo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, ka mou mālohi, pea lototoʻa: he koeʻuhi ʻe fai pehē pē ʻe Sihova ki homou ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻoku mou tauʻi.”
26 Emva kwalokho uJoshuwa wasewatshaya wawabulala, wawalengisa ezihlahleni ezinhlanu; njalo ayelenga ezihlahleni kwaze kwahlwa.
Pea hili ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tāmateʻi, pea ne tautau ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻe nima: pea naʻe tautau ai pe ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
27 Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule ezihlahleni, bawaphosele ebhalwini ayecatshe khona; basebefaka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, akhona kuze kube yilona lolusuku.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he feituʻu efiafi ʻoe tō ʻae laʻā, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, pea naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi ʻakau, pea naʻe lī ʻakinautolu ki he ʻana ʻaia naʻe fufū ai ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe hili ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea ʻoku kei ai ni.
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.
Pea naʻe kapa ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻa Maketa, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e tuʻi ʻo ia naʻa ne fakaʻauha, ʻakinautolu, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha tokotaha ke toe pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Maketa ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko.
29 UJoshuwa, loIsrayeli wonke laye, wasedlula esuka eMakeda waya eLibhina, walwa emelene leLibhina.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Siosiua mei Maketa, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lipina, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa Lipina:
30 INkosi yasiyinikela layo lenkosi yayo esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyitshaya ngobukhali benkemba lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo; katshiyanga insali kiyo; wenza enkosini yayo njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
Pea naʻe tukuange foki ia ʻe Sihova, mo hono tuʻi ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe ʻi ai ka naʻe fai ki hono tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko.
31 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLibhina, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, waya eLakishi, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo, walwa emelene layo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lipina, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lakisi, ʻo ne ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo ne tauʻi ia:
32 INkosi yasiyinikela iLakishi esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyithumba ngosuku lwesibili, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, njengakho konke akwenza eLibhina.
Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa Lakisi ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne kapa ia ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki Lipina.
33 Ngalesosikhathi uHoramu inkosi yeGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; kodwa uJoshuwa wamtshaya labantu bakhe, kwaze kwathi kamtshiyelanga insali.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Holami ko e tuʻi ʻo Kesa ke tokoni ʻa Lakisi; pea taaʻi ia ʻe Siosiua mo hono kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi kiate ia ke toe.
34 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLakishi, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eEgiloni, bamisa inkamba maqondana layo, balwa bemelene layo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lakisi ki Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia pea nau ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo tauʻi ia:
35 Bayithumba ngalolosuku, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo bayitshabalalisa ngalolosuku, njengakho konke akwenza eLakishi.
Pea naʻa nau lavaʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, naʻa ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki Lakisi.
36 UJoshuwa wasesenyuka esuka eEgiloni loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eHebroni, balwa bemelene layo,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Hepeloni pea nau tauʻi ia;
37 bayithumba, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lenkosi yayo lemizi yayo yonke lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali, njengakho konke akwenza eEgiloni, wawutshabalalisa lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo.
Pea nau lavaʻi ia, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo hono tuʻi, mo hono ngaahi kolo, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe, kae hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Ekeloni; naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai.
38 UJoshuwa wasebuyela eDebiri loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, balwa bemelene layo,
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Tipa; ʻo tauʻi ia:
39 bayithumba lenkosi yayo layo yonke imizi yayo, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, batshabalalisa wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali. Njengokwenza kwakhe eHebroni wenza njalo eDebiri lenkosini yayo, lanjengokwenza kwakhe eLibhina lenkosini yayo.
Pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia, mo hono tuʻi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi ai; pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai; naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe: hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Hepeloni, naʻe pehē ʻene fai ki Tipa, pea ki hono tuʻi; hangē ko ia foki naʻa ne fai ki Lipina, pea ki hono tuʻi.
40 Ngakho uJoshuwa walitshaya ilizwe lonke lezintaba leleningizimu lelesihotsha lelamawatha lawo wonke amakhosi abo; katshiyanga insali, kodwa watshabalalisa konke okuphefumulayo, njengokulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Naʻe pehē ʻae taaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea mo e potu tonga, pea mo e tafangafanga, mo e ngaahi matavai, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe, ka naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mānava, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
41 UJoshuwa wasebatshaya kusukela eKadeshi-Bhaneya kwaze kwaba seGaza, lelizwe lonke leGosheni, kwaze kwaba seGibeyoni.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mei Ketesi-pania ʻo aʻu ki Kesa, mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Koseni ʻo aʻu ki Kipione.
42 UJoshuwa wasethumba wonke lamakhosi lelizwe lawo ngasikhathi sinye, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yamlwela uIsrayeli.
Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ni mo honau fonua naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻi he kuonga pe taha, he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa ne tau maʻa ʻIsileli.
43 UJoshuwa wasebuyela, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, enkambeni eGiligali.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
