Abahluleli 2
1 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisenyuka isuka eGiligali isiya eBokimi, yathi: Ngalenyusa lisuka eGibhithe, ngaliletha elizweni engalifungela oyihlo, njalo ngathi: Kangiyikwephula isivumelwano sami lani kuze kube sephakadeni.
HELE mai la ka anela o Iehova, mai Gilegala mai, a i Bokima, i mai la, Ua lawe mai au ia oukou mai Aigupita mai, a ua hookomo mai au ia oukou i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna. I iho la au, Aole au e uhai i ka'u berita, a hiki loa i ka hopena.
2 Lani-ke kaliyikwenza isivumelwano labahlali balelilizwe, lizadiliza amalathi abo. Kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi lami. Kuyini lokhu elikwenzileyo?
Mai hana oukou i berita me ka poe e noho ana ma keia aina, e hoohiolo no oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu. Aole oukou i hoolohe i ko'u leo. No ke aha la oukou i hana'i i keia?
3 Ngakho lami ngathi: Kangiyikuzixotsha elifeni phambi kwenu, kodwa zizakuba njengameva enhlangothini zenu, labonkulunkulu bazo babe ngumjibila kini.
Nolaila au i olelo ai, Aole au e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e lilo lakou i poe enemi no oukou; a e lilo ko lakou mau akua i mea e hihia ai oukou.
4 Kwasekusithi lapho ingilosi yeNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu baphakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi.
A i ka wa i olelo ai ka anela o Iehova i keia mau olelo i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, hookiekie ae la na kanaka i ko lakou leo, uwe iho la.
5 Basebebiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yiBokimi, bayihlabela iNkosi lapho.
Kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, Bokima. A malaila lakou i mohai aku ai no Iehova.
6 Kwathi uJoshuwa esebayekele abantu bahamba, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba, ngulowo lalowo waya elifeni lakhe ukudla ilifa lelizwe.
I ka wa i kuu aku ai o Iosua i kanaka, alaila hele aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka o na mamo a Iseraela i kona hooilina iho, a komo i ka aina.
7 Abantu basebeyikhonza iNkosi kuzo zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa, lazo zonke izinsuku zabadala abasala bephila emva kukaJoshuwa, ababewubonile wonke umsebenzi omkhulu weNkosi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
Malama no na kanaka ia Iehova i na la a pau o Iosua, a i na la a pau o na lunakahiko i ola mahope iho o Iosua, ka poe i ike i na hana nui a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
8 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku yeNkosi, wafa-ke, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
A make iho la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Iehova, hookahi no haneri kona mau makahiki me ka umi keu.
9 Basebemngcwabela emngceleni welifa lakhe eThiminathi-Heresi entabeni yakoEfrayimi, enyakatho kwentaba iGahashi.
A kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ke kihi o kona aina, me Timenaheresa, ma ka puu o Eperaima, ma ke kukulu akau o ka puu o Gaasa.
10 Njalo lalesosizukulwana sabuthelwa kuboyise. Kwasekusukuma esinye isizukulwana emva kwabo esasingayazi iNkosi njalo lomsebenzi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
Hui pu ia'e la ia hanauna a pau me ko lakou poe makua: a ala mai la kekahi hanauna hou, mahope mai o lakou, aole lakou i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi i na hana ana i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
11 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, bakhonza oBhali.
Hana hewa aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a malama lakou ia Baala.
12 Batshiya iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu, kubonkulunkulu bezizwe ezazibazingelezele, bakhothama kibo, bayithukuthelisa iNkosi.
Haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ko lakou poe makua, i ka mea i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hahai lakou mamuli o na'kua e, i na'kua o ka poe kanaka e noho poai ana ia lakou, a kulou imua o lakou, a hoonaukiuki aku la ia Iehova.
13 Bayidela iNkosi, bakhonza uBhali laboAshitarothi.
Haalele lakou ia Iehova, a malama iho la ia Baala a me Asetarota.
14 Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphangayo; yabathengisa esandleni sezitha zabo inhlangothi zonke, ukuze bangabe besaba lakho ukuma phambi kwazo.
Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a haawi ae la ia lakou i ka lima o ka poe hao, a hao ae la ia poe i ka lakou, a hoolilo aku oia ia lakou i ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, e noho poai ana ia lakou, aole hiki ia lakou ke ku hou imua o ko lakou poe enemi.
15 Loba bephuma besiya ngaphi, isandla seNkosi samelana labo ngokubi, njengokutsho kweNkosi lanjengokufunga kweNkosi kibo, njalo bacindezeleka kakhulu.
Ma na wahi a pau a lakou i hele aku ai, ku e no ka lima o Iehova ia lakou i mea e hewa'i, e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki mai ai ia lakou; a pilikia loa iho la lakou.
16 INkosi yasimisa abahluleli ababophula esandleni salabo ababaphangayo.
Hoala mai no nae o Iehova i na lunakanawai, a hoola ae la lakou i ka Iseraela mailoko ae o ka lima o ka poe i hao i ka lakou.
17 Kanti kababalalelanga labahluleli babo, kodwa baphinga ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, bakhothama kibo; baphambuka masinyane endleleni oyise ababehamba kuyo, belalela imilayo yeNkosi. Bona kabenzanga njalo.
Aole hoi lakou i hoolohe i na lunakanawai; aka, moe kolohe lakou mamuli o na'kua e, a kulou hoomana aku la ia lakou. Haalele koke lakou i ke ala a ko lakou poe makua i hele ai, me ka hoolohe pono i ke kauoha a Iehova; aole hana keia poe pela.
18 Lalapho iNkosi ibamisela abahluleli, iNkosi yayilomahluleli, yabophula esandleni sezitha zabo zonke izinsuku zikamahluleli; ngoba iNkosi yazisola ngenxa yokububula kwabo ngenxa yalabo ababacindezelayo lababahlukuluzayo.
A i ka wa i hoala mai ai o Iehova i na lunakanawai no lakou, alaila, noho pu o Iehova me ka lunakanawai, a hoola no ia ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o ko lakou poe enemi, i na la a pau o ia lunakanawai; no ka mea, minamina o Iehova, no ko lakou kaniuhu ana i ka hoopilikiaia, a me ka hookaumahaia mai.
19 Kwasekusithi ekufeni kukamahluleli, babuyela emuva baxhwala okwedlula oyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, ngokubakhonza langokubakhothamela; kabalahlanga okwemisebenzi yabo lokwendlela yabo yenkani.
A i ka wa i make ai ka lunakanawai, hoi hou no lakou, a oi aku no ko lakou hewa mamua o ko lakou poe makua, ma ka hahai ana mamuli o na'kua e, e malama ia lakou, a e kulou hoomana ia lakou. Aole lakou i hooki iki i ka lakou hana, aole i ko lakou aoao paakiki.
20 Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yathi: Ngoba lesisizwe seqe isivumelwano sami engasilaya oyise, kasilalelanga ilizwi lami,
Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, i ae la ia, No ka hehi ana o keia poe kanaka maluna o ka'u berita, a'u i kauoha aku ai i ko lakou poe makua, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo;
21 lami kangisayikuxotsha loba ngubani elifeni phambi kwabo ezizweni uJoshuwa azitshiya ekufeni kwakhe,
Nolaila, aole au e kipaku hou, mai ko lakou alo aku, i kekahi o ko na aina a Iosua i waiho ai i kona make ana.
22 ukuze ngihlole ngazo uIsrayeli ukuthi bazagcina yini indlela yeNkosi ukuhamba kuyo njengaboyise bayigcina, kumbe hatshi.
I hoao aku ai au i ka Iseraela ma o lakou la, i malama paha lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, e hele malaila, e like me ka malama ana o ko lakou poe makua, aole paha.
23 Ngakho iNkosi yaziyekela lezozizwe, ukuze ingazixotshi elifeni masinyane, njalo kayizinikelanga esandleni sikaJoshuwa.
Waiho no o Iehova i ko ia mau aina, aole ia i kipaku koke aku ia lakou; aole hoi i haawi mai ia lakou i ka lima o Iosua.
