< UJoshuwa 22 >
1 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wabiza abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sabakoManase,
A LAILA, kahea aku la o Iosua i ka Reubena, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Munase,
2 wathi kubo: Lina ligcinile konke uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyalilaya khona, lalilalela ilizwi lami kukho konke engalilaya khona.
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua malama oukou i na mea a pau i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa o Iehova ia oukou, a ua hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u leo e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou:
3 Kalibatshiyanga abafowenu kulezinsuku ezinengi, kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa ligcinile imfanelo yomlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Aole oukou i haalele i ko oukou poe hoahanau i na la a pau a hiki i neia la, aka, ua malama oukou i ka olelo i kauoha mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua.
4 Khathesi-ke, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ibanikile abafowenu ukuphumula, njengalokho akukhuluma kubo. Ngakho-ke buyelani lina liye emathenteni enu elizweni lelifa lenu, alinika lona uMozisi inceku yeNkosi ngaphetsheya kweJordani.
Ano la, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova ko oukou Akua i ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me kana olelo ana mai ia lakou; ano la, e hoi aku oukou, a e hele hou i ko oukou mau halelewa, i ka aina i loaa ia oukou, ua haawi mai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou i kela kapa o Ioredane.
5 Kuphela liqaphelisise ukwenza umlayo lomthetho uMozisi inceku yeNkosi alilaya wona, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lokuhamba endleleni zayo zonke, lokugcina imilayo yayo, lokunamathela kuyo, lokuyikhonza ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke.
Aka, e ao pono oukou, e malama i ke kauoha a me ke kanawai i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou, e aloha aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, e hele aku ma kona aoao a pau, e malama aku hoi i kona kanawai, e hoopili aku ia ia, a e hookauwa aku hoi nana, me ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau.
6 Wasebabusisa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba, baya emathenteni abo.
Alaila, hoomaikai aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hookuu aku. A hele aku la lakou i ko lakou mau halelewa.
7 Njalo kungxenye yesizwe sakoManase uMozisi wayenike indawo eBashani; kodwa kungxenye yayo uJoshuwa wayinika indawo labafowabo nganeno kweJordani entshonalanga. Njalo-ke nxa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba besiya emathenteni abo, wababusisa.
Ua haawi mai o Mose no kekahi ohana hapa o Manase i noho ana ma Basana; o kekahi ohana hapa hoi, haawi mai o Iosua no lakou, me ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma keia kapa o Ioredane ma ke komohana. Alaila, hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i ko lakou halelewa, a hoomaikai oia ia lakou.
8 Wakhuluma labo esithi: Buyelani emathenteni enu lilenotho enengi lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu lilesiliva legolide lethusi lensimbi lezigqoko ezinengi kakhulu; lehlukaniselane impango yezitha zenu labafowenu.
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E hoi oukou i ko oukou mau halelewa, me ka waiwai nui, a me na holoholona he nui loa, a me ke kala, a me ke gula, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ke kapa he nui loa. E puunauwe oukou i ka waiwai pio o ko oukou poe enemi, me ko oukou hoahanau.
9 Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebebuyela, besuka ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli bephuma eShilo eselizweni leKhanani, ukuya elizweni leGileyadi, elizweni lelifa labo ababelizuzile, ngokomlayo weNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
A hoi aku la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohaha hapa a Manase, a hele lakou, mai ka Iseraela aku, a mai Silo ma ka aina o Kanaana aku, e hele i ka aina o Gileada, i ka aina a lakou i loaa mai, ua loaa hoi ia lakou e like me ka olelo a Iehova ma ka lima o Mose.
10 Kwathi sebefikile emingceleni yeJordani eselizweni leKhanani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakha khona ilathi ngaseJordani, ilathi elikhulu ngokubonakala.
A hiki lakou i kahi e pili ana i Ioredane, aia ma ka aina o Kanaana, hana ae la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i kuahu malaila, ma Ioredane, ua nui kela kuahu i ka nana aku.
11 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli besizwa kuthiwa: Khangelani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakhile ilathi maqondana lelizwe leKhanani emingceleni eJordani ehlangothini lwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
A lohe ae la na mamo a Iseraela, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, ua hana ae la ka Reubena a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ke kuahu imua o ka aina o Kanaana, ma ke kapa o Ioredane, ma kahi e hele ae na mamo a Iseraela.
12 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekuzwa, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShilo ukwenyukela kubo empini.
A lohe na mamo a Iseraela, hoakoakoa iho la ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela ma Silo, e hele aku ia lakou e kaua aku.
13 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethuma kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi uPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi,
Hoouna aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Pinehasa i ke keiki a Eleazara, ke kahuna, e hele i ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ka aina o Gileada,
14 lezinduna ezilitshumi laye, induna eyodwa ngendlu ngayinye yaboyise ivela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli; ngayinye yayiyinhloko yendlu yaboyise, kunkulungwane zakoIsrayeli.
A me na'lii pu me ia he umi, pakahi ke alii i ka hale o na kupuna ma na ohana a pau a Iseraela: he poe alii wale no lakou o na kupuna, ma na tausani o ka Iseraela.
15 Basebefika kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi, bakhuluma labo besithi:
A hele aku la lakou i ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i ka aina i Gileada, a kamailio pu me lakou, i aku la,
16 Itsho njalo inhlangano yonke yeNkosi: Kuyisiphambeko bani eseliphambeke ngaso limelane loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, liphambuka lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, ekuzakheleni ilathi, ukuze lihlamukele iNkosi lamuhla?
Pela ka olelo ana mai a ke anaina a pau o Iehova, Heaha keia hewa a oukou i hana aku ai i ke Akua o Iseraela, e huli i keia la, mai o Iehova aku, i ko oukou kukulu ana i kuahu no oukou iho, i kipi aku oukou i keia la ia Iehova?
17 Ngabe isiphambeko sePeyori sincinyane kakhulu kithi yini, esingahlanjululwanga kuso kuze kube lamuhla, lanxa inhlupheko yayiphakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi,
He uuku anei ka hewa o Peora ia kakou, aole kakou i holoi aku i keia mea, mai o kakou aku, a hiki mai i keia la, he mea ia i ahulau ai ke anaina o Iehova,
18 ukuze lina liphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi? Kuzakuthi uba lina liyihlamuka iNkosi lamuhla, kusasa izayithukuthelela inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli.
I huli ai oukou i keia la, mai o Iehova aku? a i kipi aku oukou ia Iehova i keia la, a apopo e huhu mai oia i ke anaina a pau o Iseraela.
19 Kodwa ngeqiniso, uba ilizwe lemfuyo yenu lingcolile, chaphelani lina elizweni lemfuyo yeNkosi lapho ithabhanekele leNkosi elihlala khona, lizizuzele imfuyo phakathi kwethu; kodwa lingayihlamukeli iNkosi njalo lingasihlamukeli ekuzakheleni kwenu ilathi ngaphandle kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
Aka, ina he aina haumia, ka oukou i loaa ai, e hele aku oukou i kela kapa, i ka aina a Iehova i loaa ai, i kahi e noho ana kana pahuberita; a e hoonoho oukou ia oukou iho, mawaena konu o makou. Mai kipi hoi oukou ia Iehova, mai kipi no hoi ia makou, i ko oukou kukulu ana i ke kuahu no oukou iho, okoa ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua.
20 UAkani indodana kaZera kaphambekanga yini ngesiphambeko entweni eqalekisiweyo, kwasekusiba lolaka phezu kwenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli? Leyondoda kayibhubhanga-ke yodwa esiphambekweni sayo.
Aole anei i lawehala o Akana, ke keiki a Zera, i ka mea laa, aole anei i hiki mai ka huhu maluna o na mamo a pau a Iseraela? Aole oia wale no ka i make i kona hewa.
21 Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebephendula bathi kunhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli:
Alaila, ekemu mai la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i mai la lakou i ka poe luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela,
22 UNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uyazi, loIsrayeli kakwazi; uba bekungokuhlamuka kumbe uba ngokuphambuka eNkosini, lingasisindisi lamuhla,
O Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, o Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, oia ka i ike, a e ike no hoi auanei ka Iseraela; ina ma ke kipi ana a me ka hana hewa ana ia Iehova, mai hoola oukou ia makou i keia la,
23 ukuthi sizakhele ilathi ukuphambuka ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, loba sinikelele phezu kwalo umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umnikelo wokudla, loba ukwenza phezu kwalo iminikelo yokuthula, iNkosi uqobo kayikudinge.
Ina paha makou i kukulu i ke kuahu no makou, e huli, mai o Iehova aku, a e kaumaha maluna iho i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohaiai, a e kaumaha maluna olaila i ka mohai aloha, na Iehova no e hoopai ia mea.
24 Kodwa ngeqiniso sikwenze ngokunqineka ngaloludaba sisithi: Kusasa abantwana benu bazakhuluma kubantwana bethu bathi: Lilani leNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli?
Ina aole i hana makou pela no ka makau ana i keia mea, me ka i ana iho, Mamuli paha, e olelo mai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki, me ka i ana mai, Heaha ka oukou ia Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela?
25 Ngoba iNkosi iyenzile iJordani yaba ngumngcele phakathi kwethu lani, lina bantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi, kalilasabelo eNkosini. Ngalokho abantwana benu benze abantwana bethu ukuthi bayekele ukuyesaba iNkosi.
Ua haawi mai o Iehova ia Ioredane nei, i mokuna mawaena o kakou, e ka Reubena, a me ka Gada, aole o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la; pela no e hooki ai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki i ko lakou makau ana ia Iehova.
26 Ngakho sathi: Kasizilungiseleni khathesi ukwakha ilathi, lingabi ngelomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo lingabi ngelomhlatshelo,
Olelo iho la makou, Ina kakou, e kukulu i kuahu no kakou, aole no ka mohaikuni, aole no ka alana:
27 kodwa libe yibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani lezizukulwana zethu emva kwethu, ukuthi sikhonze inkonzo yeNkosi phambi kwayo ngeminikelo yethu yokutshiswa langemihlatshelo yethu langeminikelo yethu yokuthula, ukuze abantwana benu bangathi ebantwaneni bethu kusasa: Kalilasabelo eNkosini.
He mea hoike ia mawaena o makou a o oukou, a mawaena o ko kakou hanauna mahope aku nei o kakou; i hana makou i ka oihana a Iehova imua ona me ko makou mohaikuni a me ko makou alana, a me ko makou mohai aloha, i olelo ole ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki mahope aku nei, Aohe o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la.
28 Sasesisithi: Kuzakuthi-ke, nxa bekhuluma lokhu kithi lesizukulwaneni sethu kusasa, sizakuthi: Bonani umfanekiso welathi leNkosi obaba abalakhayo, kungeyisilo lomnikelo wokutshiswa lingeyisilo lomhlatshelo, kodwa liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani.
Nolaila i olelo ai makou, A hiki i ka wa e i mai ai lakou pela ia makou, a i ko makou hanauna mahope aku nei o makou, e olelo makou, Ea, e nana oukou i ka mea like me ke kuahu o Iehova, i ka mea i hanaia'i e ko makou poe makua, aole no ka mohaikuni, a me ka alana, aka, i mea hoailona mawaena o makou a me oukou.
29 Kakube khatshana lathi ukuthi siyihlamuke iNkosi, lokuthi siphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, ukwakha ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lelomnikelo wokudla lelomhlatshelo, ngaphandle kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eliphambi kwethabhanekele layo.
Aole loa makou e kipi ia Iehova, a huli, mai o Iehova aku i keia la, a kukulu i ke kuahu no ka mohaikuni a me ka mohai ai a me na alana. Ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua, ka mea imua o kona halelewa, oia wale no ke kuahu.
30 Kwathi uPhinehasi umpristi lenduna zenhlangano lenhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli ezazilaye bewezwa amazwi abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoManase abawakhulumayo, kwakukuhle emehlweni abo.
A lohe ae la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, a me na'lii o na mamo a Iseraela, a me na luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela, i na olelo i olelo mai ai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka Manase, he mea maikai no ia i ko lakou mau maka.
31 UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lakubantwana bakoManase: Lamuhla siyazi ukuthi iNkosi iphakathi kwethu, ngoba kaliphambekanga lesisiphambeko eNkosini; khathesi likhulule abantwana bakoIsrayeli esandleni seNkosi.
Olelo aku la o Pinehasa, o ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, i ka Reubena poe mamo, a i ka Gada a i ka Manase, Ua ike pono kakou i keia la, o Iehova no mawaena o kakou, aole oukou i hana hewa i keia mea. A ua hoopakele oukou i na mamo a Iseraela mai ka lima mai o Iehova.
32 UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi lezinduna basebebuyela bevela ebantwaneni bakoRubeni lebantwaneni bakoGadi elizweni leGileyadi, besiya elizweni leKhanani ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, babuyisela ilizwi kubo.
Alaila, hoi aku la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, a me na'lii, mai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, mai ka aina o Gileada aku, i ka aina o Kanaana, i na mamo a Iseraela, a hai aku la ia lakou i keia mea.
33 Lodaba lwaluluhle emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambusisa uNkulunkulu, kabasakhulumanga ngokwenyukela kubo empini ukuchitha ilizwe abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi ababehlala kulo.
A he mea maikai no ia i na maka o na mamo a Iseraela; a hoomaikai aku la na mamo a Iseraela i ke Akua; aole lakou i manao e pii aku ia lakou o kaua, e luku aku i ka aina o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i noho ai.
34 Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi balibiza ilathi ngokuthi: Liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu bokuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu.
Kapa aku la o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i ke kuahu, He mea hoike keia mawaena o kakou, o Iehova no, oia ke Akua.
