3 Basebebuyela kuJoshuwa bathi kuye: Kakungenyuki bonke abantu; kakwenyuke phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezimbili loba phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezintathu ukutshaya iAyi. Ungadinisi bonke abantu ngokuya khona, ngoba balutshwana.

4 Kwasekusenyukela khona abavela ebantwini amadoda aphosa abe zinkulungwane ezintathu; abaleka phambi kwamadoda eAyi.

5 Lamadoda eAyi atshaya phose amadoda angamatshumi amathathu lesithupha, axotshana lawo phambi kwesango aze afika eShebarimi, awatshayela ekwehleni. Ngakho inhliziyo yabantu yancibilika yaba ngamanzi.

7 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Maye Nkosi Jehova! Ubachaphiseleni lokubachaphisa lababantu iJordani ukusinikela esandleni samaAmori ukusibhubhisa? Kungathi ngabe seneliswa sahlala ngaphetsheya kweJordani!
Hichun Joshua akapjah jengun, “O Pakai Pathen hiche Amor mite thagamding bepma hi ipi dinga hiche Jordan hi neihinpui galkaiju ham? Hitiding sanga hi Jordan gallang khatna chu neichenden sah jenguleh itiaham?
8 O Nkosi, ngizakuthini, emva kokuthi uIsrayeli esephendule intamo ezitheni zakhe?

9 Ngoba amaKhanani labo bonke abakhileyo elizweni bazakuzwa, basihanqe, baliqume ibizo lethu lisuke emhlabeni. Pho, uzalenzelani ibizo lakho elikhulu?

10 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Sukuma wena, uweleni kanje ngobuso bakho?
Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah ahin seijin, “Kithoudoh loijin, ipi dinga bohkhupma kijamjeng nahiham?
11 UIsrayeli wonile; njalo baseqile isivumelwano sami engabalaya sona, bathethe futhi kokuqalekisiweyo, njalo bebile, baqamba amanga futhi, yebo bakubekile empahleni zabo.
Israel’in kakitepna asukeh’in sapset changsa thilho aguuvin, eijoulhepmun athilkeo lah’uva akoijun ahi.
12 Ngalokho abantwana bakoIsrayeli babengelakuma phambi kwezitha zabo, baphendula umhlana phambi kwezitha zabo, ngoba beqalekisiwe. Kangisayikuba lani uba lingabhubhisi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu.

19 UJoshuwa wasesithi kuAkani: Ndodana yami, ake unike iNkosi udumo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, uvume kuye; ake ungitshele lokho okwenzileyo, ungangifihleli.
Hichun Joshua’n Achan kommachun hitin aseije, “Kachapa, Israel Pathen loupina hi jana penlang thudihtah seijin, ipi bepseu nanabol hitam phongdoh’in lang, neiseipeh’in, imacha imhihbeh’in” ati.
20 UAkani wasephendula uJoshuwa wathi: Isibili mina ngonile eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli. Ngokunje langokunje ngikwenzile.
Achan’in adonbutnin, “Adih’e, Pakai dounan kana chonsetai.
21 Kwathi ngibona phakathi kwempango isembatho seBhabhiloni esihle esisodwa, lamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amabili, lolimi lwegolide olulodwa osisindo salo singamashekeli angamatshumi amahlanu, ngakuhawukela, ngakuthatha, khangela-ke, kuthukuziwe emhlabathini phakathi kwethente lami, lesiliva singaphansi kwakho.

23 Bakukhupha phakathi kwethente, bakuletha kuJoshuwa lebantwaneni bonke bakoIsrayeli, bakuthululela phambi kweNkosi.
Amahon ponbuh a konchun hiche thilho jouse chu ahinchoijun Israelte leh Joshua komma chun ahinchoijun, hicheho chu Pakai angsung tollhanga chun asekhommun ahi.
24 UJoshuwa loIsrayeli wonke ekanye laye basebemthatha uAkani indodana kaZera, lesiliva, lesembatho, lolimi lwegolide, lamadodana akhe, lamadodakazi akhe, lenkabi zakhe, labobabhemi bakhe, lezimvu zakhe, lethente lakhe, lakho konke ayelakho, bakwenyusela esihotsheni seAkori.
