UJoshuwa 22
1 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wabiza abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sabakoManase,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ke haʻu ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase,
2 wathi kubo: Lina ligcinile konke uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyalilaya khona, lalilalela ilizwi lami kukho konke engalilaya khona.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo mou fai talangofua kiate au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu:
3 Kalibatshiyanga abafowenu kulezinsuku ezinengi, kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa ligcinile imfanelo yomlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Naʻe ʻikai te mou liʻaki homou kāinga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ka kuo mou tauhi ʻae enginaki ʻoe fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
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.
Pea ko eni, kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae mālōlō ki homou kāinga ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate kinautolu; ko ia ke mou liu atu ni, ʻo ʻalu ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea ki he fonua ʻo homou tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
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.
Ka mou faʻa vakai ʻo fai ki he fekau mo e fono, ʻaia naʻe fakapapau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea ke ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea ke mou pikitai kiate ia, pea ke mou tauhi ia ʻaki homou loto kotoa, pea mo homou laumālie kotoa.”
6 Wasebabusisa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba, baya emathenteni abo.
Naʻe pehē ʻae tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
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.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻae tofiʻa ʻi Pesani; ka ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe foaki ʻe Siosiua fakataha mo honau kāinga ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani ki he potu lulunga. Pea ʻi he fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua ke ʻalu foki ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, naʻa ne toki tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu,
8 Wakhuluma labo esithi: Buyelani emathenteni enu lilenotho enengi lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu lilesiliva legolide lethusi lensimbi lezigqoko ezinengi kakhulu; lehlukaniselane impango yezitha zenu labafowenu.
Pea lea ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, Toe ʻalu mo e koloa lahi ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo e fanga manu lahi, mo e siliva, mo e koula, mo e palasa, mo e ʻaione, pea mo e ngaahi kofu lahi: mou vahevahe ʻae vete ʻo homou ngaahi fili ki homou kāinga.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻonau ʻalu mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sailo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, kenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo Kiliati, ki he fonua ʻo honau tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa nau maʻu, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
10 Kwathi sebefikile emingceleni yeJordani eselizweni leKhanani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakha khona ilathi ngaseJordani, ilathi elikhulu ngokubonakala.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki he veʻe Sioatani, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ofi ki Sioatani, ʻae ʻesifeilaulau lahi ke vakai ki ai.
11 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli besizwa kuthiwa: Khangelani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakhile ilathi maqondana lelizwe leKhanani emingceleni eJordani ehlangothini lwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe fanongo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he lau, “Vakai, kuo langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻo hanga atu ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi he veʻe Sioatani, ʻi he aʻaʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
12 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekuzwa, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShilo ukwenyukela kubo empini.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakataha ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sailo, koeʻuhi kenau ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
13 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethuma kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi uPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, mo e fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki he vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻi he fonua ko Kiliati, ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki,
14 lezinduna ezilitshumi laye, induna eyodwa ngendlu ngayinye yaboyise ivela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli; ngayinye yayiyinhloko yendlu yaboyise, kunkulungwane zakoIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻae ʻeiki ʻe taha ʻi he fale ʻeiki taki taha ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa nau taki taha ʻeiki ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 Basebefika kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi, bakhuluma labo besithi:
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ki he fonua ko Kiliati, pea naʻa nau lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
16 Itsho njalo inhlangano yonke yeNkosi: Kuyisiphambeko bani eseliphambeke ngaso limelane loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, liphambuka lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, ekuzakheleni ilathi, ukuze lihlamukele iNkosi lamuhla?
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa hala ni kuo mou fai ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tafoki he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova, ʻi hoʻomou langa kiate kimoutolu ha feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ke mou fai angatuʻu he ʻaho ni kia Sihova?
17 Ngabe isiphambeko sePeyori sincinyane kakhulu kithi yini, esingahlanjululwanga kuso kuze kube lamuhla, lanxa inhlupheko yayiphakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi,
He kuo siʻi fau kiate kitautolu ʻae hia ʻa Peoli, (ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei ai he ʻaho ni, ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ai ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he fakataha ʻa Sihova, )
18 ukuze lina liphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi? Kuzakuthi uba lina liyihlamuka iNkosi lamuhla, kusasa izayithukuthelela inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli.
Kuo mou tafoki ai ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova? Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi hoʻomou angatuʻu he ʻaho ni kia Sihova, ʻe houhau ia ʻapongipongi ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Ka koeʻuhi, kapau ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻae fonua ʻo homou tofiʻa, pea mou hiki mai ki he fonua ki he tofiʻa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, pea maʻu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo kimautolu: kaeʻoua te mou angatuʻu kia Sihova, pea angatuʻu kiate kimautolu, ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga moʻomoutolu, kae tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.
20 UAkani indodana kaZera kaphambekanga yini ngesiphambeko entweni eqalekisiweyo, kwasekusiba lolaka phezu kwenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli? Leyondoda kayibhubhanga-ke yodwa esiphambekweni sayo.
ʻIkai naʻe fai hala ʻe ʻAkani ko e foha ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa fakamalaʻia, pea naʻe tō ai ʻae houhau ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea naʻe ʻikai malaʻia tokotaha pe ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene hia.”
21 Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebephendula bathi kunhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli:
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻo tali, ʻonau pehē ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli,
22 UNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uyazi, loIsrayeli kakwazi; uba bekungokuhlamuka kumbe uba ngokuphambuka eNkosini, lingasisindisi lamuhla,
“Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi, pea ʻe ʻilo ia mo ʻIsileli foki; kapau kuo fai eni ʻi he angatuʻu, pea kapau ʻoku fai ʻi he talangataʻa kia Sihova, (ʻoua naʻa fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu he ʻaho ni, )
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.
ʻEmau langa homau feilaulauʻanga ke tafoki mei heʻemau muimui ʻia Sihova, pea kapau ko e meʻa ke fai ki ai ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pe ko e feilaulau meʻakai, pea ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, tuku ke totongi ia ʻe Sihova pe;
24 Kodwa ngeqiniso sikwenze ngokunqineka ngaloludaba sisithi: Kusasa abantwana benu bazakhuluma kubantwana bethu bathi: Lilani leNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli?
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ia ko e manavahē ki he meʻa ni, ʻo pehē, ʻe lea nai ʻe hoʻomou fānau ʻamui ki heʻemau fānau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mou kau ai ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli?
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.
He kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sioatani ko e ngataʻanga vahevahe ʻiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata; ʻoku ʻikai hamou tofiʻa ʻia Sihova;’ ko ia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻomou fānau ke taʻofi ʻemau fānau ʻi heʻenau manavahē kia Sihova.
26 Ngakho sathi: Kasizilungiseleni khathesi ukwakha ilathi, lingabi ngelomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo lingabi ngelomhlatshelo,
Ko ia naʻa mau alea ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke tau tokonaki ʻo langa haʻatau feilaulauʻanga, ʻoku ʻikai ki he feilaulau tutu, pe ki he feilaulau:
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.
Ka koeʻuhi ke hoko ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu, pea ki hotau ngaahi toʻutangata kimui ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke mau fai ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻao ʻaki ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau, mo ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei; ke ʻoua naʻa lau ʻe hoʻomou fānau ki heʻemau fānau ʻamui, ʻOku ʻikai te mou kau kia Sihova.’
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.
Ko ia naʻa mau pehē, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau tenau lau kiate kimautolu, pe ki homau toʻutangata kimui, pea te mau tali, ʻo pehē, Vakai ki hono fakatātā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai, naʻe ʻikai ki he feilaulau tutu, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau: ka ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu.’
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.
Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mau angatuʻu kia Sihova, ʻo tafoki he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova, ke langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau, kae tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he mata fale fehikitaki ʻoʻona.”
30 Kwathi uPhinehasi umpristi lenduna zenhlangano lenhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli ezazilaye bewezwa amazwi abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoManase abawakhulumayo, kwakukuhle emehlweni abo.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Finiasi ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kakai fakataha, mo e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Manase, naʻa nau fiemālie ai.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki he fānau ʻa Manase, “ʻOku mau mamata he ʻaho ni ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa hala ni kia Sihova; ko eni kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻo Sihova.”
32 UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi lezinduna basebebuyela bevela ebantwaneni bakoRubeni lebantwaneni bakoGadi elizweni leGileyadi, besiya elizweni leKhanani ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, babuyisela ilizwi kubo.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki, mei he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mei he fānau ʻa Kata, mei he fonua ko Kiliati, ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kiate kinautolu.
33 Lodaba lwaluluhle emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambusisa uNkulunkulu, kabasakhulumanga ngokwenyukela kubo empini ukuchitha ilizwe abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi ababehlala kulo.
Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau loto ke ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fonua naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni, mo Kata.
34 Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi balibiza ilathi ngokuthi: Liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu bokuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata ʻae feilaulauʻanga, “Ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻiate kitaua ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
