< UJoshuwa 8 >
1 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalo; thatha kanye lawe bonke abantu bempi, usukume wenyukele eAyi; bona, nginikele esandleni sakho inkosi yeAyi, labantu bayo, lomuzi wayo, lelizwe layo.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nimet kom sangeng ku sensen. Fahla ac us mwet mweun lom nukewa utyak nu Ai. Nga fah oru tuh kom fah kutangla tokosra lun Ai ac nga fah usot facl sac ac ma nukewa we tuh in ma lowos.
2 Uzakwenza-ke eAyi lenkosini yayo njengokwenza kwakho eJeriko lenkosini yayo. Kuphela impango yayo lezifuyo zayo lizaziphangela. Uzibekele abacathameli ngasemzini emva kwawo.
Ma nukewa kom tuh oru in acn Jericho ac nu sin tokosra we kom in oru oapana in acn Ai ac nu sin tokosra we. Tusruktu, ma lalos nukewa wi kosro natulos kowos ku in eis lowos. Akola kowos in mweunelos in lukma, tukun siti ah yak.”
3 UJoshuwa wasesukuma labo bonke abantu bempi ukwenyukela eAyi; uJoshuwa wasekhetha amaqhawe alamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, wawathuma ebusuku.
Ouinge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos akola in mweuni mwet Ai. El sulela tausin tolngoul mwet pisrla ke mweun ac supwalosla ke fong,
4 Wawalaya esithi: Bonani, lizawucathamela umuzi ngemva komuzi. Lingabi khatshana kakhulu lomuzi, kodwa lungani lonke.
ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos som ac wikwik akngusrikya tukun siti ah, ac tupan pacl in mweun. Nimet som loesla liki siti ah.
5 Mina-ke labo bonke abantu abalami sizasondela emzini. Kuzakuthi-ke lapho bephuma ukumelana lathi njengakuqala sibaleke phambi kwabo.
Nga ac mwet mweun lula uh ac fah kalukyang nu ke mutunpot in siti uh. Ke pacl se ma mwet Ai elos ac ilme in lain kut oana elos oru meet ah, na kut fah forla ac kaingkunulos.
6 Njalo bazaphuma emva kwethu size sibadonse basuke emzini. Ngoba bazakuthi: Bayabaleka phambi kwethu njengakuqala. Ngakho sizabaleka phambi kwabo.
Elos fah ukwe kut nwe ke na kut pwanulosla loes liki siti sac. Elos ac nunku mu kut kaingkunulos oana kut tuh kaingkunulos meet ah.
7 Lina-ke lizasukuma ekucathameni, liwuthumbe umuzi; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izawunikela esandleni senu.
Na kowos fah tuyak liki acn kowos wikwik we, ac utyak ac sruokya siti sac. LEUM GOD lowos el ac fah sot nu inpouwos.
8 Kuzakuthi-ke seliwuthumbile umuzi, liwutshise umuzi ngomlilo, lizakwenza njengokwelizwi leNkosi. Bonani, ngililayile.
Tukun kowos sruokya siti sac, kowos esukak, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin. Pa ingan sap ku kowos in fahsr kac.”
9 UJoshuwa wasebathuma, baya ekucathameni, bahlala phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi, entshonalanga kweAyi, kodwa uJoshuwa walala phakathi kwabantu ngalobobusuku.
Ouinge Joshua el supwalosla, ac elos som nu yen elos ac wikwik we inmasrlon acn Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai. Ac Joshua el mutana in lohm sin mwet mweun in fong sac.
10 UJoshuwa wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wabala abantu, wenyuka, yena labadala bakoIsrayeli, phambi kwabantu, waya eAyi.
Toang na ke lotu tok ah, Joshua el tukakek ac pangon mwet mweun ah nu sie. Na el ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel kololosla nu Ai.
11 Labo bonke abantu bempi ababelaye benyuka, basondela, beza maqondana lomuzi, bamisa inkamba enyakatho kweAyi. Njalo kwakulesihotsha phakathi kwabo leAyi.
Na mwet mweun ma welul ah elos kalukyang apkuran nu ke mutunpot lun siti sac ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos layen nu eir in Ai, ac oasr sie infahlfal inmasrlolos ac Ai.
12 Wasethatha phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu, wawacathamisa phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi entshonalanga komuzi.
El eis apkuran in mwet tausin limekosr ac sap elos in wikla inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai.
13 Lapho sebemisa abantu, lonke ibutho elalisenyakatho komuzi, labacathami ngasentshonalanga komuzi, uJoshuwa waya phakathi kwesihotsha ngalobobusuku.
Na mwet mweun elos akola nu ke mweun. Pusiyen mwet uh elos muta eir, ac mwet lula ah elos muta roto. Ac Joshua el mongla in fong sac infahlfal sac.
14 Kwasekusithi inkosi yeAyi ikubona, aphangisa avuka ngovivi; lamadoda omuzi aphuma impi emelane loIsrayeli, yona labantu bayo bonke, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, phambi kwamagceke; kodwa yona yayingazi ukuthi kukhona abayicathameleyo emva komuzi.
Ke tokosra Ai el liye mwet mweun lal Joshua, el sa in mukuila. El ac mwet lal nukewa fahla suiya Infahlfal Jordan in mweuni mwet Israel, acn se na ma elos tuh mweun we meet ah. Ac el tia etu lah oasr pac mwet mweun akola in tuku tokolos ac lainulos.
15 UJoshuwa loIsrayeli basebetshaywa phambi kwawo, babaleka ngendlela yenkangala.
Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos oru acnu mu elos kaingkunulos ac elos kaing nu yen mwesis.
16 Kwasekubizwa bonke abantu ababesemzini ukuxotshana labo. Nxa bexotshana loJoshuwa badonswa basuka emzini.
Suliyuk mwet nukewa in siti sac in tuku ac ukwe mwet lal Joshua, ac ke elos ukwal Joshua, elos loeselik liki siti sac.
17 Njalo kakusalanga muntu eAyi kumbe eBhetheli, abangaphumanga ukulandela uIsrayeli; bawutshiya umuzi ukhamisile, baxotshana loIsrayeli.
Mwet Ai nukewa elos som ukwe mwet Israel, ac mutunpot in siti sac ikakelik na ac wangin mwet lula in karingin.
18 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Yelulela umkhonto osesandleni sakho eAyi, ngoba ngizayinikela esandleni sakho. UJoshuwa waseselulela umkhonto osesandleni sakhe emzini.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kolla osra soko inpoum an nu Ai, tuh nga ac sot siti sac nu sum.” Na Joshua el oru oana ke fwack nu sel.
19 Abacathemeyo basebesukuma masinyane endaweni yabo; bagijima esanda ukwelula isandla sakhe, bangena emzini, bawuthumba, baphangisa, bawutshisa umuzi ngomlilo.
Ke pacl se na ma el kolla osra soko ah, na mwet ma wikwik likin siti ah elos sulaklak na tuyak ac kasrusr nu ke siti sac. Elos utyak sruokya siti sac ac esukak.
20 Kwathi lapho amadoda eAyi enyemukula abona, khangela-ke, intuthu yomuzi yenyukela emazulwini, njalo ayengelandawo yokubalekela ngapha langapha, ngoba abantu ababebalekele enkangala baphendukela ababaxotshayo.
Ke mwet Ai elos tapulla elos liye lah fosryak siti ah. Tusruktu, wangin acn elos ku in kaingla nu we mweyen mwet Israel su kaing nu yen mwesis ah elos forla ac lainulos.
21 Kwathi uJoshuwa loIsrayeli wonke bebona ukuthi abacathemeyo sebewuthumbile umuzi lokuthi intuthu yomuzi yenyuka, baphenduka batshaya amadoda eAyi.
Ke Joshua ac mwet lal ah liye lah mwet wialos ah eisla ac esukak siti sac, elos forla ac mutawauk in uni mwet Ai ah.
22 Lalaba baphuma emzini ukumelana lawo, aze aba phakathi kukaIsrayeli, abanye ngapha labanye ngale; basebewatshaya, kakwaze kwasala muntu kuwo, owasilayo kumbe owaphunyukayo.
Na mwet Israel ma esukak siti sac elos tufoki ac wi mweuni mwet Ai. Elos raunelosla ac onelosla ac wangin sie selos moulla ku kaingla,
23 Kodwa inkosi yeAyi bayibamba iphila, bayisondeza kuJoshuwa.
sayen tokosra Ai. Sruhu el ac utukla nu yorol Joshua.
24 Kwasekusithi lapho uIsrayeli eseqedile ukubulala bonke abahlali beAyi egangeni, enkangala lapho ababebaxotshele khona, babewile bonke ngobukhali benkemba, baze baqedwa, uIsrayeli wonke wabuyela eAyi, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba.
Ke mwet Israel elos onela kewa mwet Ai ah yen mwesis ma elos ukwalosla nu we ah, na elos folokla nu in siti lun mwet Ai ac onela mwet nukewa ma lula we.
25 Kwasekusithi, bonke abawayo mhlalokho, kusukela kwabesilisa kusiya kwabesifazana, babeyizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili, bonke abantu beAyi.
Pisen mwet Ai, mukul ac mutan, pa singoul luo tausin, ac elos nukewa anwuki in len sac.
26 Njalo uJoshuwa kasifinyezanga isandla sakhe ayelule umkhonto ngaso baze batshabalalisa bonke abahlali beAyi.
Joshua el kolla na osra soko inpaol ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa in Ai anwukla.
27 Kuphela izifuyo lempango yalowomuzi uIsrayeli waziphangela, njengelizwi leNkosi eyalilaya uJoshuwa.
Mwet Israel elos eis kosro ac ma nukewa lun mwet Ai tuh in ma lalos, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Joshua.
28 UJoshuwa waseyitshisa iAyi, wayimisa yaba yinqwaba phakade, unxiwa, kuze kube lamuhla.
Ouinge Joshua el esukak acn Ai ac wanginla ma fac nwe misenge.
29 Lenkosi yeAyi wayiphanyeka esihlahleni kwaze kwaba yisikhathi santambama. Lekutshoneni kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bethule isidumbu sayo esihlahleni, basiphosele emnyango wesango lomuzi, bamisa phezu kwaso inqwaba enkulu yamatshe, ekhona kuze kube lamuhla.
Joshua el unilya tokosra lun acn Ai ac srupsrulak ke sak soko, na el sripsrip we nwe ke na ekela. Ke faht ah tili, Joshua el sap elos eisya manol ac sisya mutunpot in siti uh. Ac elos elosak yol in eot se nu facl, su oanna nwe misenge.
30 Khona uJoshuwa wayakhela iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ilathi entabeni yeEbhali.
Na Joshua el etoak sie loang Fineol Ebal nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
31 Njengokulaya kukaMozisi inceku yeNkosi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, njengalokhu kubhalwe egwalweni lomlayo kaMozisi, ilathi lamatshe apheleleyo, okungazange kusetshenziswe nsimbi phezu kwalo. Basebenikela phezu kwalo eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa, bahlaba iminikelo yokuthula.
El orala oana Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sapkin nu sin mwet Israel. El oru fal nu ke lumah ma aketeyuki in book in Ma Sap lal Moses — “sie loang orekla ke eot ma tia akfwelyeyuk ke kutena osra.” Elos orekmakin loang se inge nu ke mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo lalos nu sin LEUM GOD.
32 Wasebhala lapho ematsheni impinda yomlayo kaMozisi, ayibhala phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Joshua el simusla ma sap fin eot ah ye mutun mwet nukewa, in oana ke Moses el tuh simusla meet ah.
33 UIsrayeli wonke-ke, labadala babo, lezinduna, labahluleli babo, bema ngapha langapha komtshokotsho, beqondene labapristi, amaLevi, abathwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, owezizwe njengowokuzalwa. Ingxenye yabo imaqondana lentaba yeGerizimi, lengxenye yabo maqondana lentaba yeEbhali, njengokulaya kukaMozisi inceku yeNkosi, ukubusisa abantu bakoIsrayeli kuqala.
Mwet kol, mwet matu, mwet nununku, ac mwet Israel nukewa, wi mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos, elos takla tu sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Tafu selos tu pe Fineol Gerizim ac tafu selos tu pe Fineol Ebal, ac ngetani nu yurin mwet tol Levi su us Tuptup sac inmasrlolos, oana ke Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sap elos in oru ke pacl in eis mwe insewowo.
34 Langemva kwalokho wamemezela wonke amazwi omlayo, isibusiso lesiqalekiso, njengakho konke okubhaliweyo egwalweni lomlayo.
Tukun ma inge Joshua el riteak nukewa kas in Ma Sap ah, kas in akinsewowo ac kas in selnga, oana ke simla in book in Ma Sap.
35 Akwabakho ilizwi kukho konke uMozisi akulayayo uJoshuwa angalimemezelanga phambi kwebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli labesifazana labantwanyana labezizweni ababehamba phakathi kwabo.
Ma sap nukewa lal Moses Joshua el riteak nu sin mwet nukewa su tukeni ah, weang pacna mutan ac tulik ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos.
