2 Ngalesosikhathi iNkosi yathi kuJoshuwa: Zenzele ingqamu zensengetshe, ubasoke futhi abantwana bakoIsrayeli okwesibili.
Hiche pettah chu Pakaiyin Joshua kommah “Songhem chu chemcha bangin semminlang Israelte chu akhangni channin achep’u tanpeh’in,” ati.
3 UJoshuwa wasezenzela ingqamu zensengetshe, wabasoka abantwana bakoIsrayeli oqaqeni lwamajwabu aphambili.
Hitichun Joshua’n jong songhem chemchan asemmin Israelte chu Gibeath-haaraoth munnah achep’u anatanpeh’in ahi.
4 Njalo yilesisizatho uJoshuwa abasokela sona; bonke abantu abaphuma eGibhithe, abesilisa, amadoda wonke empi, afela enkangala endleleni esephumile eGibhithe.

5 Ngoba bonke abantu abaphumayo babesokiwe, kodwa bonke abantu ababezalelwe enkangala endleleni sebephumile eGibhithe babengabasokanga.

6 Ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba enkangala iminyaka engamatshumi amane saze sabhubha isizwe sonke samadoda empi ayephume eGibhithe, ngoba engalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi; iNkosi eyayifungile kuwo ukuthi kayiyikuwatshengisa ilizwe iNkosi eyayifungele oyise ukusinika lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.

8 Kwasekusithi sebeqedile ukusoka isizwe sonke, bahlala endaweni yabo enkambeni baze baphola.

9 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Lamuhla ngigiqile ngasusa kini ihlazo leGibhithe. Ngakho ibizo laleyondawo lathiwa yiGiligali kuze kube lamuhla.
Hichun Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun “Tunia hi Egypt gamma nasohchan nauva najumnao chu katolmangpeh’u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh a chu hiche mun chu tunichangeija Gilgal kitia ahitai.
10 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebemisa inkamba eGiligali, bagcina iphasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga kusihlwa emagcekeni eJeriko.
Israelten Gilgal munna ngahmun asemsungu lhamasa nisomle nili chan nilhahchun Jericho phaichamma kalchuh kut anamangun ahi.
11 Basebesidla izithelo zelizwe, ngekuseni eyalandela iphasika, izinkwa ezingelamvubelo lamabele akhanzingiweyo, ngalona lolosuku.

12 Imana yacina ngelanga elalandela abadla ngalo izithelo zelizwe; labantwana bakoIsrayeli kabasabanga lemana, kodwa badla izithelo zelizwe leKhanani ngalowomnyaka.
Amahon agamsungsoh agamga aneh masat niuvapat chun Manna akimutapon, mujong akimukit mongmong tapon ahi.
13 Kwasekusithi uJoshuwa eseJeriko, waphakamisa amehlo akhe wabona, khangela-ke, indoda imi maqondana laye ilenkemba yayo ehwatshiweyo isesandleni sayo. UJoshuwa wasesiya kuyo wathi kuyo: Ungowakithi yini, kumbe ungowezitha zethu?
Joshua chu Jericho khopi kom agalhun chun akhodah in chunglang agahvetleh akhutna chemjam kichoi mikhat amasanga adinchu amun ahi. Joshua chun ajonlutnin amapa chu ana dongin, “Nanghi eipanpi ding kagol nahim ahilouleh galmi nahim? ati.
14 Wasesithi: Hatshi; kodwa ngiyinduna yebutho leNkosi; sengibuyile. UJoshuwa wasesithi mbo ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini, wakhonza esithi kuye: INkosi yami ithini encekwini yayo?
Amachun ahindonbutnin “Khatchachu kahipoi, keima Pakai sepaite lamkaija pang tuahi hungkon kahitai,” ati. Hichun Joshua chu tolla abohkhupmin achibeijin, “Ka Pakaiyin nalhacha keima hi ipi neibolsah got ham?” ati.
15 Induna yebutho leNkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Khulula inyathela lakho enyaweni lwakho, ngoba indawo omi kiyo ingcwele. UJoshuwa wasesenza njalo.
Pakai sepaite lamkai pachun adonbutnin, “Nakengkoh chu sutlhan ajeh chu nadinna chu muntheng ahi,” ati. Hichun Joshua’n aseibang chun aboltai.
