Iyyaasuu 5
1 Mootonni Amoorotaa kanneen gama dhiʼa Yordaanos jiraatanii fi mootonni Kanaʼaanotaa kanneen qarqara galaanaa jiraatan hundi akka Waaqayyo hamma nu ceenutti fuula saba Israaʼel duratti Yordaanos gogse yommuu dhagaʼanitti onneen isaanii ni baqxe; deebiʼaniis fuula Israaʼelootaa dura dhaabachuu sodaatan.
Kwathi amakhosi ama-Amori ayebusa entshonalanga kweJodani lamakhosi wonke amaKhenani ayebusa ezigcawini ezisekela ulwandle esizwa ukuthi uThixo wayomise njani uJodani phambi kwabako-Israyeli baze bachapha, inhliziyo zawo zathuthumela aswela izibindi zokumelana labako-Israyeli.
2 Waaqayyo yeroo sana Iyyaasuudhaan, “Haaduu qara qabu tolchiitii ammas Israaʼeloota dhagna qabi” jedhe.
Ngalesosikhathi uThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Khanda izingqamu ezibukhali ubususoka abako-Israyeli njalo.”
3 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun haaduu qara qabu tolchee Gibeʼaat Aaralootitti Israaʼeloota dhagna qabe.
Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wakhanda izingqamu ezibukhali wasesoka abako-Israyeli eGibhiya Haralothi.
4 Sababiin Iyyaasuun waan kana hojjeteef kana: Warri biyya Gibxii baʼanii dhufan hundinuu jechuunis dhiironni lolan hundinuu erga Gibxii baʼanii booddee gammoojjii keessatti karaatti dhuman.
Lokhu wakwenzela ukuthi: Bonke labo abaphuma eGibhithe, wonke amadoda ayengabuthelwa empini afela enkangala esemangweni wokusuka eGibhithe.
5 Namoonni Gibxii baʼan hundi dhagna qabatanii turan; warri yeroo Gibxii baʼanii gammoojjii keessa deemaa turanitti karaatti dhalatan garuu dhagna hin qabamne.
Bonke abantu abaphumayo babesokiwe, kodwa bonke abantu ababezalelwe enkangala phakathi kohambo lokusuka eGibhithe babengasokwanga.
6 Israaʼeloonni sababii Waaqayyoof ajajamuu didaniif hamma namoonni yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti loluu dandaʼan hundi dhumanitti waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessa jooran. Waaqayyo akka isaan biyya inni nuu kennuuf abbootii isaanii abdachiisee ture, biyya aannanii fi damma baaftu sana hin argine isaanitti kakatee tureetii.
Abako-Israyeli babezulazule enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, amadoda wonke ayefanele ukubuthelwa empini ngesikhathi esuka eGibhithe aze afa, njengoba engazange amlalele uThixo. Ngoba uThixo wayefunge waqinisa kubo wathi ayengasoze alibone ilizwe ayelithembise okhokho babo ukuthi bazalinikwa, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
7 Kanaafuu inni qooda isaanii ilmaan isaanii kaase; isaanis warra Iyyaasuun dhagna qabee dha. Isaan sababii karaatti dhagna hin qabaminiif hamma harʼaatti utuu dhagna hin qabamin jiraatan.
Ngakho wondla amadodana ezikhundleni zawo, njalo yiwo la asokwa nguJoshuwa. Ayelokhu engakasokwa ngoba kungazange kube lethuba lokubasoka endleleni.
8 Isaanis erga sabni guutuun dhagna qabamee booddee hamma fayyanitti lafuma jiran sana qubata keessa turan.
Kwathi isizwe sonke sesisokiwe, sahlala ezihonqweni baze baphola.
9 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan, “Ani harʼa arrabsoo Gibxi sana isin irraa gangalcheera” jedhe. Kanaafuu iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti Gilgaal jedhamee waamama.
UThixo wasesithi kuJoshuwa, “Lamuhla ngisuse ihlazo laseGibhithe kini.” Yikho indawo leyo lokhu ibizwa ngokuthi yiGiligali kuze kube lamhlanje.
10 Galgala bultii kudha afuraffaa jiʼa sanaatti sabni Israaʼel utuma dirree Yerikoo irra Gilgaal keessa qubatee jiruu Faasiikaa ayyaaneffate.
Kusihlwa ngelanga letshumi lane kuleyo nyanga, bathi belokhu besamise izihonqo zabo eGiligali emagcekeni eJerikho, abako-Israyeli bagcina iPhasika.
11 Isaanis guyyaa Faasiikaatti aanee dhufu, gaafuma sana midhaan biyyattii keessaa waa nyaatan; kunis Maxinoo fi asheetii waadamee dha.
Ngokusa olwalandela usuku lwePhasika badla okunye kwesivuno sabo ababekuvunile: isinkwa esingelamvubelo lamabele akhanzingiweyo.
12 Mannaanis guyyuma isaan midhaan biyya sanaa nyaatanitti aanu gad buʼuu dhiise; ergasii mannaan tokko iyyuu warra Israaʼeliif gad hin buune; garuu isaan waggaa sana keessa midhaan biyya Kanaʼaan nyaatan.
Imana yema ukukhithika ngelanga elalandela lelo abadla ngalo ukudla okwakuvela emhlabathini; ngakho kwakungasela mana yabako-Israyeli, kodwa ngalowomnyaka badla okwelizwe leKhenani.
13 Iyyaasuun yommuu Yerikootti dhiʼaatetti, ol milʼatee nama goraadee luqqifame harkatti qabatee isa dura dhaabatu tokko arge. Iyyaasuun gara isaa dhaqee, “Ati gara keenya moo gara diinota keenyaa ti?” jedhee isa gaafate.
Kwathi uJoshuwa esesondele eJerikho, wakhangela wabona indoda eyayimi phambi kwakhe ilomhedla esandleni sayo, uJoshuwa wasondela kuyo wayibuza wathi “Ungowakithi kumbe ungowezitha zethu?”
14 Innis deebisee, “Ani gara eenyuu iyyuu miti; garuu ani amma akka ajajaa loltoota Waaqayyootti dhufeera” jedhe. Iyyaasuunis addaan lafatti gombifamee sagadee, “Ergaan Gooftaan koo garbicha isaatiif qabu maali?” jedhee isa gaafate.
Yaphendula yathi “Angikho ndawo, kodwa njengomlawuli webutho likaThixo sengifikile.” UJoshuwa wathi mbo phansi ngobuso edumisa waseyibuza esithi, “Kambe iNkosi yami ilombiko bani wenceku yayo?”
15 Ajajaan loltoota Waaqayyoos Iyyaasuudhaan, “Sababii iddoon ati dhaabattu kun qulqulluu taʼeef kophee kee of irraa baasi” jedhe. Iyyaasuunis akkasuma godhe.
Umlawuli wamabutho kaThixo waphendula wathi, “Khulula izicathulo zakho ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingcwele.” UJoshuwa wenza njalo.
