Iyyaasuu 6
1 Yeroo sanatti Yerikoon sababii Israaʼelootaatiif jabeeffamtee cufamtee turte. Namni tokko iyyuu gad hin baʼu; namni tokko iyyuus ol hin seenu ture.
IJerikho yayivalwe ngci ngenxa yabako-Israyeli. Akulamuntu owayephuma loba owayengena.
2 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani mootii isheetii fi loltoota ishee wajjin Yerikoo dabarsee harka keetti kenneera.
Ngakho uThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Khangela, senginikele iJerikho, inkosi yayo kanye lamabutho ayo ezandleni zakho.
3 Hidhattoota hunda wajjin yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼaa; kanas bultii jaʼa hojjedhaa.
Hambani libhode idolobho kanye lamadoda wonke ahlomileyo. Kwenzeni lokhu okwensuku eziyisithupha.
4 Luboonni torbas malakata torba kanneen gaanfa hoolaa irraa hojjetaman qabatanii taabota dura haa deeman. Isinis guyyaa torbaffaatti yeroo torba magaalattii irra nanaannaʼaa; luboonnis malakata haa afuufan.
Abaphristi abayisikhombisa kabathwale amacilongo enziwe ngempondo zenqama phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano. Ngosuku lwesikhombisa libhode idolobho kasikhombisa, abaphristi bevuthela amacilongo.
5 Yommuu isaan sagalee malakataa dheeraa isaa dhageessisanitti namni hundinuu sagalee guddaadhaan haa iyyu; dallaan magaalaa sanaa yommusuma jiga; namoonnis ol baʼu; namni hundinuus qajeelee itti seena.”
Nxa lingabezwa sebetshaya amacilongo bedonsa, abantu bonke kabahlabe umkhosi; umduli wedolobho uzadilika abantu bahle bangene, yilowo lalowo aqonde phambili.”
6 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni luboota ofitti waamee, “Taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo fuudhaatii luboonni torba malakata baatanii isa dura haa deeman” jedheen.
Ngakho uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wabiza abaphristi wathi kubo, “Thathani umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo kuthi abaphristi abayisikhombisa bahambe phambi kwawo bethwele amacilongo.”
7 Namootaanis, “Fuula duratti deemaatii magaalaa sana irra naannaʼaa; loltoonni hidhatanis taabota Waaqayyoo dura haa deeman” jedhe.
Waselaya abantu esithi, “Akuhanjwe! Hambani libhode idolobho, amabutho ahlomileyo ehamba phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo.”
8 Erga Iyyaasuun namootatti dubbatee booddee, luboonni torban fuula Waaqayyoo duratti malakata torba baatan sun malakata isaanii afuufaa dura darban; taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoos isaan duukaa buʼe.
Kwathi uJoshuwa esekhulume labantu, abaphristi abayisikhombisa ababethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa phambi kukaThixo bahamba phambili bevuthela amacilongo, njalo umtshokotsho wesivumelwano ubalandela.
9 Loltoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatanis luboota malakata afuufaa turan dura deeman; loltoonni dugda duubaa immoo taaboticha duukaa buʼan. Yeroo kana hundas malakanni afuufamaa ture.
Amabutho ayehlomile ahamba phambi kwabaphristi ababevuthela amacilongo, njalo amabutho angemuva ayelandela umtshokotsho. Ngasosonke lesisikhathi amacilongo ayekhala.
10 Iyyaasuun garuu namootaan, “Iyya lolaa hin iyyinaa; sagalee keessan ol hin fudhatinaa; hamma guyyaa ani iyyaa isiniin jedhuutti dubbii tokko illee hin dubbatinaa. Gaafas iyyaa!” jedhe.
Kodwa uJoshuwa wayelaye abantu wathi, “Lingaze lahlaba umkhosi wempini, lingakhwezi amazwi enu, lingakhulumi lutho kuze kufike isikhathi engizalitshela ngaso ukuthi limemeze. Beselihlaba-ke umkhosi.”
11 Kanaafuu inni akka taabonni Waaqayyoo baatamee magaalaa sana irra yeroo tokko naannaʼu godhe. Ergasiis namoonni gara qubataatti deebiʼanii achi bulan.
Ngakho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo bawuthwala babhoda lawo idolobho kanye. Abantu babuyela ezihonqweni bayalala.
12 Iyyaasuun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼe; luboonnis taabota Waaqayyoo ol fuudhan.
UJoshuwa wavuka kusesele ngelanga elilandelayo njalo abaphristi bathwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo.
13 Luboonni torban malakata torba baatanis taabota Waaqayyoo dura deemaa malakatas afuufaa fuula duratti qajeelan. Loltoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatan isaan dura buʼan; loltoonni dugda duubaa immoo taabota Waaqayyoo duukaa buʼan; malakannis ittuma fufee afuufamaa ture.
Abaphristi abayisikhombisa ababethwele amacilongo ayisikhombisa bahamba phambili bekhokhele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, bevuthela amacilongo. Amadoda ayehlomile ayehamba phambi kwabo njalo amabutho angemuva ayelandela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, kukanti-ke amacilongo aqhubeka ekhala.
14 Kanaafuu guyyaa lammaffaatti yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼanii gara qubataatti deebiʼan. Kanas bultii jaʼa hojjetan.
Ngosuku lwesibili babhoda idolobho kanye basebebuyela ezihonqweni. Bakwenza lokhu okwensuku eziyisithupha.
15 Guyyaa torbaffaatti ganama barii kaʼanii haaluma duraa sanaan yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan; isaan gaafuma sana qofa yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan.
Ngelanga lesikhombisa bavuka emadabukakusa babhoda idolobho kasikhombisa ngendlela efanayo, ngaphandle kokuthi ngalelolanga babhoda kasikhombisa.
16 Marsaa torbaffaatti yommuu luboonni malakata afuufanitti Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee namoota ajaje; “Iyyaa! Waaqayyo magaalattii isinii kenneeraatii!
Ngokwesikhombisa, kwathi abaphristi bekhalisa amacilongo, uJoshuwa walaya abantu wathi, “Memezani! Ngoba uThixo useliphile idolobho.
17 Magaalattii fi wanni ishee keessa jiru hundinuu Waaqayyoof addaan haa baafaman. Sababii isheen basaastota nu erganne sana dhoksiteef, Rahaab sagaagaltittiin qofti warra mana ishee keessa jiran hunda wajjin haa baraaramtu.
Idolobho lakho konke okukulo kuzakwahlukaniselwa uThixo. URahabi isifebe lalabo ahlala labo endlini yakhe yibo abazasindiswa ngenxa yokuthi wafihla inhloli esazithumayo.
18 Isin garuu akka isaan keessaa tokko illee fudhattanii akkasiin badiisa ofitti hin fidneef waan laguu taʼe irraa fagaadhaa. Yoo kanaa achii isin qubata Israaʼeliitti iyyuu badiisa fiddanii rakkina irraan geessu.
Kodwa xwayani izinto ezahlukaniselwe ukubhujiswa, ukwenzela ukuthi lingazehliseli ukubhujiswa ngokuthatha okunye kwalezozinto. Lokho kungenza ukuthi izihonqo zako-Israyeli zehlelwe luhlupho njalo zitshabalaliswe.
19 Meetii fi warqeen hundi, miʼi naasiitii fi sibiilaa hundi sababii Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamaniif mankuusa isaatti galuu qabu.”
Sonke isiliva, igolide lezinto zonke ezenziwe ngethusi langensimbi ezingcwele ziletheni kuThixo njalo kumele zifakwe esiphaleni sakhe sengcebo.”
20 Yommuu malakanni afuufametti namoonni ni iyyan; yommuu sagaleen malakata sanaa dhagaʼamee namoonnis sagalee guddaadhaan iyyanitti dallaan magaalaa sanaa ni kufe. Kanaafuu namni hundi fuul duratti girrisee seenuudhaan magaalaa sana qabate.
Kwathi amacilongo ekhala abantu bahlaba umkhosi; ekukhaleni kwecilongo, abantu sebehlaba umkhosi omkhulu, umduli wabhidlika, ngakho wonke umuntu wangena phakathi balithatha idolobho.
21 Isaanis waan magaalaa sana Waaqayyoof addaan baasaniif waan isa keessa jiru hunda jechuunis dhiiraa dubartii, xinnaa guddaa, loon, hoolotaa fi harroota goraadeedhaan fixan.
Idolobho balehlukanisela uThixo basebecakaza ngenkemba yonke into ephilayo eyayihlala kulo, amadoda labesifazane, abatsha labadala, inkomo, izimvu labobabhemi.
22 Iyyaasuunis namoota lamaan biyya sana basaasanii turaniin, “Mana sagaagaltuu sanaa ol seenaatii akkuma isin isheef kakattanitti ishee fi warra kan ishee taʼan hunda gad baasaa fidaa” jedhe.
UJoshuwa wakhuluma emadodeni amabili ayeke athunywa njengezinhloli zelizwe wathi, “Yanini endlini yesifebe liyesikhupha lezihlobo zaso zonke ligcwalise isifungo elasenza kuso.”
23 Kanaafuu dargaggoonni basaasuu dhaqanii turan sun ol seenanii Rahaab, abbaa isheetii fi haadha ishee, obboloota isheetii fi waan kan ishee taʼe hundumaa gad baasan. Maatii ishee hundas alatti baasanii qubata Israaʼeliitiin ala isaan tursan.
Ngakho amadoda ayahambe ukuyahlola angena akhupha uRahabi, uyise lonina labanewabo lazozonke izihlobo zakhe. Bakhupha imuli yonke bayifaka endaweni eyayingaphandle kwezihonqo zako-Israyeli.
24 Ergasii guutummaa magaalaa sanaatii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda guban; garuu meetii fi warqee, miʼa naasiitii fi sibiilaa mankuusa mana Waaqayyootti galchan.
Basebetshisa idolobho lonke lakho konke okwakuphakathi kwalo, kodwa befake isiliva legolide lezinto ezilungiswe ngethusi lensimbi esiphaleni sengcebo yendlu kaThixo.
25 Iyyaasuun garuu sababii isheen namoota inni akka basaasaniif gara Yerikootti ergee ture sana dhoksiteef Rahaab sagaagaltuu sana maatii isheetii fi waan kan ishee taʼe hunda wajjin ni baraare; isheenis hamma ammaatti Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraatti.
Kodwa uJoshuwa waphephisa uRahabi isifebe lemuli yakhe labo bonke abangabakhe ngenxa yokuthi wafihla amadoda ayethunywe nguJoshuwa ukuba zinhloli eJerikho, futhi ulokhu ehlala phakathi kwabako-Israyeli kuze kube lamhlanje.
26 Iyyaasuunis yeroo sanatti akkana jedhee kakate; “Namni magaalaa Yerikoo kana deebisee ijaaru fuula Waaqayyoo duratti abaaramaa haa taʼu: “Inni hundee ishee buusnaan, ilmi isaa hangafti haa duʼu; karra ishee ijaaruu jalqabnaan, ilmi isaa quxisuun haa duʼu.”
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wenza isifungo esiqinileyo esithi, “Iqalekisiwe phambi kukaThixo indoda ezimisela ukwakha kutsha lelidolobho laseJerikho: Ngempilo yezibulo lakhe lendodana uzakwenza izisekelo; ngempilo yecinathunjana uzalungisa amasango alo.”
27 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Iyyaasuu wajjin ture; maqaan isaas guutummaa biyyatii keessatti beekame.
UThixo wayeloJoshuwa, udumo lwakhe lwanda elizweni lonke.
