Tuh ke mwet Gibeon, su mwet Hiv, elos lohng ke ma Joshua el tuh oru in acn Jericho ac Ai,
4 labo basebesenza ngobuqili; bahamba bazenza izithunywa, bathwalisa obabhemi babo amasaka agugileyo lemigodla yewayini egugileyo ledabukileyo lebekelweyo,

Elos nokomang mahn nuknuk ac falkeang mahn fahluk pun, ac bread ma elos us pulamlamla ac suckak.
6 Basebesiya kuJoshuwa enkambeni eGiligali, bathi kuye lemadodeni akoIsrayeli: Sivela elizweni elikhatshana, ngakho-ke yenzani isivumelwano lathi.
Na elos som nu Gilgal, nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel, ac fahk nu sel Joshua ac mwet Israel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ac kut kena tuh kowos in orala sie wulela nu sesr.”
7 Kodwa amadoda akoIsrayeli athi kumaHivi: Mhlawumbe lihlala phakathi kwethu; pho, singenza njani isivumelwano lenu?
Ac mwet Israel elos fahk, “Efu ku kut in orek wulela nu suwos? Kowos acnu muta fototo nu yorosr.”
8 Asesithi kuJoshuwa: Sizinceku zakho. UJoshuwa wasesithi kiwo: Lingobani? Njalo livela ngaphi?
Na elos fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kut tuku in kulansupwekom.” Ac Joshua el siyuk selos, “Su kowos an? Ac kowos tuku oya me?”
9 Asesithi kuye: Izinceku zakho zivela elizweni elikhatshana kakhulu, ngenxa yebizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngoba sizwile indumela yayo lakho konke eyakwenza eGibhithe,
Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ke sripen kut lohng ke LEUM GOD lowos, oayapa kut lohng ke ma nukewa El oru in acn Egypt,
10 lakho konke eyakwenza emakhosini amabili amaAmori ayengaphetsheya kweJordani, uSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, loOgi inkosi yeBashani, eyayiseAshitarothi.
ac ma El oru nu sin tokosra luo lun mwet Amor, su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan — tokosra Sihon lun acn Heshbon, ac tokosra Og lun acn Bashan su muta in acn Ashtaroth.
11 Ngakho abadala bethu labo bonke abakhileyo elizweni lakithi bakhuluma kithi besithi: Thathani umphako wendlela esandleni senu, lihambe liyehlangana labo, lithi kibo: Sizinceku zenu; ngakho-ke yenzani isivumelwano lathi.
Mwet kol lasr ac mwet nukewa in facl sesr elos fahk tuh kut in eis ma nasr ac akola in tuku sun kom. Elos fahk nu sesr tuh kut in tuku ac eiskutwot tuh in mwet kulansap lom, ac siyuk tuh kom in oru sie wulela nu sesr.
12 Lesisinkwa sethu sasithatha sitshisa singumphako wethu ezindlini zethu mhla siphumayo sisiza kini; kodwa khathesi, khangela, sesomile sakhunta.
Liye bread nasr inge. Ke kut mukuiyak in tuku liki acn sesr ah, bread inge srakna fusrfusr. A liye, inge pulamlamla ac suckak.
13 Lalimigodla yewayini esayigcwalisayo yayimitsha; kodwa khangela, isidabukile. Lalezizigqoko zethu lamanyathela ethu sekugugiswe luhambo olude kakhulu.
Ke kut tuh nwakla mwe neinyuk wain inge, sasu na. A liye, mihsasa uh. Nuknuk lasr ac fahluk lasr mihsasa uh ke sripen loesla fahsr lasr uh.”
14 Ngakho amadoda athatha kokomphako wabo, engabuzanga umlomo weNkosi.
Mwet Israel elos eis ac kang kutu mwe mongo selos inge, tusruktu elos tiana lolngok yurin LEUM GOD meet.
15 UJoshuwa wasesenza ukuthula labo, wenza isivumelwano labo sokubayekela baphile, lezinduna zenhlangano zafunga kibo.
Joshua el orala sie wulela nu sin mwet Gibeon tuh elos fah ku in moul ac muta in misla. Ac mwet matu lun mwet Israel elos wi pac oru wuleang lalos in karingin wulela se inge.
16 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezintathu emva kokuthi sebenzile isivumelwano labo, bezwa ukuthi bangomakhelwane babo, lokuthi babehlala phakathi kwabo.
Len tolu tukun orekla wulela se inge, mwet Israel elos konauk lah pwayeiya uh mwet inge elos mutana apkuran nu yorolos.
17 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesuka bafika emizini yabo ngosuku lwesithathu. Njalo imizi yabo yayiyiGibeyoni leKefira leBherothi leKiriyathi-Jeyarimi.
Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos mutawauk in sifil fahsr, ac tukun len tolu elos sun acn sin mwet inge — Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, ac Kiriath Jearim.
18 Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli kababatshayanga ngoba izinduna zebandla zazibafungele ngeNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; inhlangano yonke yasingungunela izinduna.
Tusruktu mwet Israel elos kofla in onelosla, mweyen mwet kol lalos inge elos tuh orala sie wulela ku nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ke sripen wulela se inge, mwet Israel nukewa torkaskas lain mwet kol lalos.
19 Kodwa zonke izinduna zathi enhlanganweni yonke: Thina sifungile kibo ngeNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngakho-ke kasilakubathinta.
Na mwet kol lun mwet Israel elos topuk, “Kut orala wulela se tari nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ouinge, kut tia ku in oru kutena ma nu selos.
20 Sizakwenza lokhu kibo, sibayekele baphile, ukuze kungabi khona ulaka phezu kwethu ngenxa yesifungo esasifunga kibo.
Kut enenu in lela elos in moul ke sripen wulela sac. Kut fin tia, God El ac fah kai kut.
21 Lezinduna zathi kubo: Bayekeleni baphile, kodwa kababe ngabagamuli benkuni labakhi bamanzi enhlanganweni yonke, njengokutsho kwezinduna kubo.
Lela elos in moul, tusruktu elos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof lasr.” Pa inge nunak lun mwet kol ah.
22 UJoshuwa wasebabiza, wakhuluma labo esithi: Lisikhohliseleni, lisithi: Sikhatshana kakhulu lani; kanti lina lihlala phakathi kwethu?
Ac Joshua el sap tuh mwet Gibeon in tuku nu yorol, ac el siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku kiapwekutla ac fahk mu kowos tuku yen loesla me, a kowos mutana fototo nu yorosr?
23 Ngakho-ke liqalekisiwe, njalo kakuyikuqunywa phakathi kwenu izigqili labagamuli benkuni labakhi bamanzi bendlu kaNkulunkulu wami.
Ke sripa se inge, God El selngawikowosi. Kowos ac mwet lowos fah mwet kohs nwe tok. Kowos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof nu ke lohm sin God luk.”
24 Basebephendula uJoshuwa bathi: Ngoba kwatshelwa lokutshelwa ezincekwini zakho ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yalaya uMozisi inceku yayo ukulinika ilizwe lonke lokuchitha bonke abakhileyo belizwe phambi kwenu. Ngakho sesaba kakhulu ngempilo yethu ngenxa yenu. Yikho senze le into.
Ac elos topuk, “Aok, kut oru ke sripen kut etu tuh pwaye LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap lal, tuh elan asot acn nukewa su kowos fah utyak nu we, ac kunausla mwet nukewa su muta fin acn ingan. Kut oru ouingan mweyen kut arulana sangeng suwos ac nunku mu kowos ac unikutla.
25 Khathesi-ke, khangela, sesisesandleni sakho; yenza njengokulungileyo lanjengokuqondileyo emehlweni akho ukukwenza kithi.
Inge kut muta inpoum. Oru nu sesr ma kom nunku mu fal in orek nu sesr.”
26 Ngakho wenza njalo kubo, wabophula esandleni sabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuze bangababulali.
Pa inge ma Joshua el oru, el karingnalosyang ac el tia lela mwet Israel in onelosla.
27 UJoshuwa wasebenza ngalolosuku baba ngabagamuli benkuni labakhi bamanzi benhlangano, labelathi leNkosi, kuze kube lamuhla, endaweni ezayikhetha.
In len sacna, el orala tuh elos in mwet kohs. Elos in ti etong ac ut kof nu sin mwet Israel ac nu ke loang lun LEUM GOD. Elos srakna oru orekma se inge nwe misenge, in acn ma LEUM GOD El sulela tuh mwet in alu su sel we.
