UJoshuwa 4
1 Kwasekusithi lapho isizwe sonke sesiqede ukuchapha iJordani, iNkosi yakhuluma kuJoshuwa isithi:
Tukun mwet Israel nukewa utyak tari nu finmes ah liki Infacl Jordan, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
2 Zithathele amadoda alitshumi lambili ebantwini, indoda ibenye kuleso lalesosizwe,
“Sulela mwet singoul luo, mwet se sin kais sie sruf,
3 uwalaye uthi: Zithatheleni okuvela lapha phakathi kweJordani kuleyondawo, lapho obekumi khona inyawo zabapristi ziqinile, amatshe alitshumi lambili, liwathwale lichaphe lawo, liwabeke endaweni yokulala lapho elizalala khona ebusuku.
ac sap elos in srukak kais sie eot liki infacl an yen mwet tol elos tu we, ac us welulos ac oakiya yen kowos ac mongla we ofong an.”
4 UJoshuwa wasebiza amadoda alitshumi lambili ayewalungisile ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, indoda yabanye kuleso lalesosizwe.
Ouinge Joshua el pangonma mwet singoul luo liki inmasrlon mwet uh su el srisrngiya liki inmasrlon kais sie sruf,
5 UJoshuwa wasesithi kuwo: Dlulani phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lingene phakathi kweJordani, lizithathele, lowo lalowo, ilitshe elilodwa, aletshate ehlombe, njengokwenani lezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli,
ac fahk nu selos, “Fahsrot nu infulwen Infacl Jordan. Fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lowos, ac srukak kais sie eot nu finpisowos, fal nu ke pisen sruf lun Israel.
6 ukuze lokhu kube yisiboniso phakathi kwenu. Nxa abantwana benu bebuza kusasa besithi: Ayini lamatshe kini?
Lela tuh ma inge in mwe akul nu suwos nu ke pacl tulik nutuwos uh ac mau siyuk in pacl tok uh lah mea kalmen eot inge,
7 Lizabatshela-ke: Ngoba amanzi eJordani aqunywa phambi komtshotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi. Lapho uchapha iJordani, amanzi eJordani aqunywa. Ngakho lamatshe azakuba yisikhumbuzo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
na kowos fah akkalemye nu selos lah kof ke Infacl Jordan tuh tui nwe ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD utukyak liki infacl ah. Eot inge ac fah mwe asmakin nu sin mwet Israel ke ma inge nwe tok.”
8 Labantwana bakoIsrayeli benza njalo njengokulaya kukaJoshuwa, bathatha amatshe alitshumi lambili phakathi kweJordani, njengokutsho kweNkosi kuJoshuwa, ngokwenani lezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli; bawathwala bachapha lawo, baya endaweni lapho abalala khona, bawabeka khona.
Na elos oru oana ke Joshua el sapkin nu selos. Elos srukak eot singoul luo liki infacl uh, fal nu ke pisen sruf lun Israel, oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Joshua, ac elos us eot inge nwe ke acn elos mongla we, ac filiya we.
9 UJoshuwa wasemisa amatshe alitshumi lambili phakathi kweJordani endaweni lapho inyawo zabapristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano ezazimi khona. Njalo asekhona lapho kuze kube lamuhla.
Ac Joshua el oayapa oakiya eot singoul luo ke infulwen Infacl Jordan, yen ma mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang elos tuh tu we ah, ac eot inge oasr na we nu misenge.
10 Ngoba abapristi ababethwele umtshokotsho bema phakathi kweJordani kwaze kwaphela yonke into iNkosi eyayimlaye yona uJoshuwa ukuyitshela abantu, njengakho konke uMozisi ayekulaye uJoshuwa. Labantu baphangisa bachapha.
Mwet tol inge tuh tu na infulwen Infacl Jordan nwe ke na ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Joshua tuh elan fahk nu sin mwet uh ac safla, oapana ke Moses el tuh sapkin nu sel Joshua. Ouinge mwet uh fahsr sulaklak in sun finmes uh.
11 Kwasekusithi bonke abantu sebeqedile ukuchapha, umtshokotsho weNkosi wachapha, labapristi phambi kwabantu.
Ac tukun mwet nukewa utyak tari nu finmes, na mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD elos utyak ac sifil fahsr meet liki mwet uh.
12 Njalo abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bachapha behlomile phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, njengokubatshela kukaMozisi.
Ac mukul ke sruf lal Reuben, ac sruf lal Gad, ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh, elos us mwe mweun ac fahsr meet liki mwet uh, oana ke Moses el tuh sapkin nu selos.
13 Phose izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane behlomele impi, bachapha phambi kweNkosi ukuya empini, emagcekeni eJeriko.
Apkuran in tausin angngaul pisen mwet su akola nu ke mweun pa utyak ye mutun LEUM GOD nu yen tupasrpasr sisken acn Jericho.
14 Ngalolosuku iNkosi yamkhulisa uJoshuwa emehlweni kaIsrayeli wonke, njalo bamesaba njengalokhu babemesaba uMozisi insuku zonke zempilo yakhe.
LEUM GOD El akfulatyal Joshua ke mwenmen ma el sang Joshua el oru ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa in len sac, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos oayapa akfulatyal Joshua ke lusen moul lal nufon, oana ke elos tuh akfulatyal Moses in pacl lal ah.
15 INkosi yasikhuluma kuJoshuwa isithi:
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
16 Laya abapristi abathwala umtshokotsho wobufakazi ukuthi bakhuphuke eJordani.
“Fahkang nu sin mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang tuh elos in utyak liki Infacl Jordan.”
17 UJoshuwa wasebalaya abapristi esithi: Khuphukani eJordani.
Na Joshua el oru oana.
18 Kwasekusithi lapho abapristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi sebekhuphukile phakathi kweJordani, lengaphansi yenyawo zabapristi isiphakanyiselwe emhlabathini owomileyo, amanzi eJordani abuyela endaweni yawo, ahamba njengamandulo aphuphuma enkunjini zonke zayo.
Ouinge ke pacl se mwet tol elos tufahna sroak liki infacl ah nu finmes ah, na kof ke infacl ah sifilpa soror ac sronoti oana meet ah.
19 Labantu bakhuphuka besuka eJordani ngolwetshumi lwenyanga yokuqala, bamisa inkamba eGiligali ephethelweni lempumalanga yeJeriko.
Mwet uh elos tuh fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ke len aksingoul in malem se meet, ac elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Gilgal, kutulap in Jericho.
20 Lalawomatshe alitshumi lambili abawathatha eJordani uJoshuwa wawamisa eGiligali.
Na eot singoul luo ma elos tuh us liki Infacl Jordan, Joshua el oakiya in acn Gilgal.
21 Wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Nxa abantwana benu bebuza kusasa kuboyise besithi: Ayini lamatshe?
Ac el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “In pacl fahsru, tulik nutuwos fin siyuk suwos lah mea kalmen eot inge,
22 Lizabazisa-ke abantwana benu lisithi: UIsrayeli wayichapha le iJordani emhlabathini owomileyo.
na kowos fah srumun nu selos, ke pacl se mwet Israel tuh fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan elos fahsr ke acn pao.
23 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu yenza amanzi eJordani atsha phambi kwenu laze lachapha, njengokwenza kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kuLwandle oluBomvu eyalomisa phambi kwethu saze sachapha,
Fahkang nu selos lah LEUM GOD lowos el tuh akpaoyela Infacl Jordan nwe ke na kut nukewa fahsr sasla infacl ah, oana El tuh oru nu sin mwet matu lasr meet ah ke El akpaoyela Meoa Srusra.
24 ukuze zonke izizwe zomhlaba zazi isandla seNkosi, ukuthi silamandla, ukuze liyesabe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu zonke izinsuku.
El tuh oru ma inge tuh mwet in faclu nufon elos in etu ke ku lulap lun LEUM GOD, ac tuh kowos fah etu in akfulatye ac sunakin LEUM GOD lowos ma pahtpat.”
