Iyyaasuu 6
1 Yeroo sanatti Yerikoon sababii Israaʼelootaatiif jabeeffamtee cufamtee turte. Namni tokko iyyuu gad hin baʼu; namni tokko iyyuus ol hin seenu ture.
IJeriko yayivaliwe-ke ngci ngenxa yabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Kakho owaphumayo, njalo kakho owangenayo.
2 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani mootii isheetii fi loltoota ishee wajjin Yerikoo dabarsee harka keetti kenneera.
INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Bona, nginikele esandleni sakho iJeriko lenkosi yayo lamaqhawe alamandla.
3 Hidhattoota hunda wajjin yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼaa; kanas bultii jaʼa hojjedhaa.
Lizawubhoda-ke umuzi, wonke amadoda empi, awubhode umuzi kanye. Uzakwenza njalo insuku 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.
Labapristi abayisikhombisa bazathwala impondo zenqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komtshokotsho; kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa lizawubhoda umuzi kasikhombisa, labapristi bevuthela impondo.
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.”
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho bekhalisa uphondo lwenqama isikhathi eside, nxa lisizwa ukukhala kophondo, abantu bonke bazamemeza ngokuklabalala okukhulu, lomduli womuzi uzadilikela phansi; labantu bazakwenyuka, ngulowo lalowo maqondana laye.
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 abapristi wathi kibo: Thwalani umtshokotsho wesivumelwano, labapristi abayisikhombisa bathwale impondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi.
7 Namootaanis, “Fuula duratti deemaatii magaalaa sana irra naannaʼaa; loltoonni hidhatanis taabota Waaqayyoo dura haa deeman” jedhe.
Wasesithi ebantwini: Dlulani liwuzingelezele umuzi, lohlomileyo kadlule phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi.
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.
Kwasekusithi uJoshuwa esekhulume ebantwini, abapristi abayisikhombisa bethwele impondo eziyisikhombisa zenqama bakhokhela phambi kweNkosi, bavuthela impondo, lomtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi wabalandela.
9 Loltoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatanis luboota malakata afuufaa turan dura deeman; loltoonni dugda duubaa immoo taaboticha duukaa buʼan. Yeroo kana hundas malakanni afuufamaa ture.
Abahlomileyo basebehamba phambi kwabapristi ababevuthela izimpondo, lesigaba sasemuva salandela umtshokotsho, bahamba bevuthela izimpondo.
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.
UJoshuwa wayelaye-ke abantu esithi: Lingamemezi, loba lizwakalise ilizwi lenu; kungaphumi lizwi emlonyeni wenu kuze kube lusuku engizalitshela ngalo ukuthi limemeze; beselimemeza.
11 Kanaafuu inni akka taabonni Waaqayyoo baatamee magaalaa sana irra yeroo tokko naannaʼu godhe. Ergasiis namoonni gara qubataatti deebiʼanii achi bulan.
Ngakho umtshokotsho weNkosi wawubhoda umuzi, uzingelezela kanye; basebesiza enkambeni, balala enkambeni ebusuku.
12 Iyyaasuun guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼe; luboonnis taabota Waaqayyoo ol fuudhan.
UJoshuwa wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, labapristi bathwala umtshokotsho weNkosi.
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.
Labapristi abayisikhombisa bephethe impondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi baqhubeka behamba, bevuthela izimpondo, labahlomileyo bahamba phambi kwabo, lesigaba sasemuva salandela umtshokotsho weNkosi, bahamba bevuthela izimpondo.
14 Kanaafuu guyyaa lammaffaatti yeroo tokko magaalattii irra naannaʼanii gara qubataatti deebiʼan. Kanas bultii jaʼa hojjetan.
Langosuku lwesibili bawuzingelezela umuzi kanye, babuyela enkambeni. Benza njalo insuku eziyisithupha.
15 Guyyaa torbaffaatti ganama barii kaʼanii haaluma duraa sanaan yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan; isaan gaafuma sana qofa yeroo torba magaalattii irra naannaʼan.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa bavuka ngovivi emadabukakusa, bawubhoda umuzi kasikhombisa ngendlela efananayo. Kuphela ngalolosuku bawubhoda umuzi kasikhombisa.
16 Marsaa torbaffaatti yommuu luboonni malakata afuufanitti Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee namoota ajaje; “Iyyaa! Waaqayyo magaalattii isinii kenneeraatii!
Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sesikhombisa, abapristi bavuthela impondo, uJoshuwa wasesithi ebantwini: Memezani, ngoba iNkosi ilinikile umuzi.
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.
Kodwa umuzi wona lakho konke okukuwo kuzakwehlukaniselwa eNkosini; nguRahabi iwule kuphela ozaphila, yena labo bonke alabo endlini yakhe, ngoba wafihla izithunywa 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 lina sibili zigcineni kokuqalekisiweyo, hlezi lizenze abaqalekisiweyo nxa lithatha kokuqalekisiweyo, lenze inkamba yakoIsrayeli ibe yinto eqalekisiweyo, liyihluphe.
19 Meetii fi warqeen hundi, miʼi naasiitii fi sibiilaa hundi sababii Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamaniif mankuusa isaatti galuu qabu.”
Kodwa sonke isiliva legolide, lezitsha zethusi lezensimbi, kungcwele eNkosini. Kuzakuza endlini yokuligugu kweNkosi.
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.
Abantu basebememeza, kwavuthelwa izimpondo. Kwasekusithi abantu besizwa ukukhala kwempondo, abantu bamemeza ngokuklabalala okukhulu, umduli wadilikela phansi, labantu benyukela emzini, ngulowo lalowo maqondana laye, bawuthumba umuzi.
21 Isaanis waan magaalaa sana Waaqayyoof addaan baasaniif waan isa keessa jiru hunda jechuunis dhiiraa dubartii, xinnaa guddaa, loon, hoolotaa fi harroota goraadeedhaan fixan.
Batshabalalisa konke okusemzini, kusukela kowesilisa kusiya kowesifazana, kusukela komutsha kusiya komdala, kuze kube senkabini lemvini lobabhemi, ngobukhali benkemba.
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.
Lakulawomadoda amabili ayeyehlola ilizwe uJoshuwa wathi: Ngenani endlini yowesifazana oliwule, likhuphe kuyo owesifazana lakho konke alakho, njengokufunga kwenu kuye.
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.
Lamajaha izinhloli angena akhupha uRahabi loyise lonina labanewabo lakho konke ayelakho; akhupha zonke izihlobo zakhe, azibeka ngaphandle kwenkamba yakoIsrayeli.
24 Ergasii guutummaa magaalaa sanaatii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda guban; garuu meetii fi warqee, miʼa naasiitii fi sibiilaa mankuusa mana Waaqayyootti galchan.
Basebewutshisa umuzi ngomlilo lakho konke okwakukiwo; kuphela isiliva legolide lezitsha zethusi lezensimbi bakufaka kokuligugu kwendlu yeNkosi.
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.
Ngakho uRahabi iwule, lendlu kayise, labo bonke ayelabo, uJoshuwa wabayekela bephila; wahlala phakathi koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla, ngoba wafihla izithunywa uJoshuwa ayezithume ukuhlola iJeriko.
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.”
UJoshuwa wabafungisa esithi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu phambi kweNkosi osukuma akhe lumuzi iJeriko. Uzawusekela ngezibulo lakhe, amise amasango awo ngecinathunjana lakhe.
27 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Iyyaasuu wajjin ture; maqaan isaas guutummaa biyyatii keessatti beekame.
Ngokunjalo iNkosi yaba loJoshuwa, lodumo lwakhe lwaba selizweni lonke.
