UJoshuwa 10

¹Kwathi u-Adoni-Sedeki inkosi yaseJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uthumbe i-Ayi, wayishaya ngesiqalekiso; njengalokho enze eJeriko nasenkosini yalo, wenze njalo kulo i-Ayi nenkosi yalo; nokuthi abakhileyo eGibeyoni benza kanjani ukuthula no-Israyeli, baba phakathi kwabo;

²Besaba kakhulu, ngokuba iGibeyoni lalingumuzi omkhulu, njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, futhi lalilikhulu kune-Ayi, namadoda alo onke ayenamandla.

³Ngakho u-Adoni-Sedeki inkosi yaseJerusalema wathumela kuHohamu inkosi yaseHebroni nakuPiramu inkosi yaseJarimuthi nakuJafiya inkosi yaseLakishi nakuDebiri inkosi yase-Egiloni, ethi:

⁴Khuphukelani kimi, lingisize, ukuze sinqobe iGibeyoni, ngoba yenza ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.

⁵Ngakho amakhosi amahlanu ama-Amori, inkosi yaseJerusalema, inkosi yaseHebroni, inkosi yaseJarimuthi, inkosi yaseLakishi, inkosi yase-Egiloni, abuthana, akhuphuka, wona nawo onke amabutho awo, amisa phambi kweGibeyoni nemizi yawo walwa nayo.

⁶Amadoda aseGibeyoni athumela kuJoshuwa ekamu laseGiligali, ethi: “Ungasibuyiseli isandla sakho ezincekwini zakho; shesha uze kithi, usophule, usisize, ngokuba onke amakhosi ama-Amori ahlala ezintabeni asibuthelene.

⁷UJoshuwa wakhuphuka eGiligali, yena nawo onke amadoda empi kanye naye nawo onke amaqhawe anamandla.

⁸UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Ungabesabi, ngokuba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; akuyikubakho muntu kubo oma phambi kwakho.

⁹UJoshuwa wafika kubo ngokuzumayo, wakhuphuka eGiligali ubusuku bonke.

¹⁰UJehova wabavusa phambi kuka-Israyeli, wababulala eGibeyoni ngokuceka okukhulu, wabaxosha endleleni ekhuphukela eBeti Horoni, wababulala kwaze kwaba se-Azeka naseMakheda.

¹¹Kwathi besabaleka phambi kuka-Israyeli besendleleni eya eBeti Horoni, uJehova waphonsa phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu avela ezulwini kwaze kwaba se-Azeka, bafa; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babulala ngenkemba.

¹²UJoshuwa wayesekhuluma kuJehova mhla uJehova enikela ama-Amori kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo ka-Israyeli: “Langa, yima eGibeyoni; nawe nyanga esigodini sase-Ajaloni.

¹³Ilanga lama, nenyanga yahlala, abantu baze baziphindiselela ezitheni zabo. Akulotshiwe yini encwadini kaJasheri na? Ilanga lema emkhathini wesibhakabhaka lingajahile ukutshona kwaze kwaba lusuku lonke.

¹⁴Alukho usuku olunjengalolo ngaphambi kwakhe nangemva kwalokho uJehova walilalela izwi lomuntu; ngokuba uJehova wamlwela u-Israyeli.

¹⁵UJoshuwa wabuyela ekamu laseGiligali, nawo wonke u-Israyeli enaye.

¹⁶Kodwa lawo makhosi amahlanu abaleka, acasha emhumeni waseMakheda.

¹⁷Kwathiwa kuJoshuwa: Lawo makhosi amahlanu aficwe ecatshile emhumeni eMakheda.

¹⁸UJoshuwa wasesithi: Gingqelani amatshe amakhulu emnyango womhume, libeke eceleni kwawo abalindi.

¹⁹Futhi ningahlali, kodwa landelani izitha zenu futhi ninqobe abangasemuva bazo; ningabavumeli ukuba bangene emizini yabo, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uwanikele esandleni senu.

²⁰Lapho uJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli sebeqedile ukuwabulala ngokuceka okukhulu kakhulu aze aqedwa, insali yawo yangena emizini enezivikelo eziqinile.

²¹Bonke abantu babuyela ekamu ngokuthula kuJoshuwa eMakheda; kakho owaphakamisa ulimi lwakhe komunye wabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

²²UJoshuwa wayesethi: “Ngivuleleni umnyango womhume, nikhiphe lawo makhosi omahlanu emhumeni;

²³Benza kanjalo, bawaletha kuye lawo makhosi omahlanu emhumeni, inkosi yaseJerusalema, nenkosi yaseHebroni, nenkosi yaseJarimuthi, nenkosi yaseLakishi, nenkosi yase-Egiloni.

²⁴Kwathi sebewakhiphele lawo makhosi kuJoshuwa, uJoshuwa wabiza wonke amadoda akwa-Israyeli, wathi kuzo izinduna zempi ezazihamba naye: “Sondelani, nibeke izinyawo zenu ezintanyeni zalawa makhosi. Basondela, babeka izinyawo zabo entanyeni yabo.

²⁵UJoshuwa wayesethi kubo: “Ningesabi, ningapheli amandla; qinani, nime isibindi, ngokuba uJehova uyakwenza lokhu kuzo zonke izitha zenu enilwa nazo.

²⁶Ngemva kwalokho uJoshuwa wabanqoba, wababulala, wabaphanyeka emithini emihlanu, balengiswa emithini kwaze kwahlwa.

²⁷Kwathi ngesikhathi sokushona kwelanga, uJoshuwa wayala, futhi bayithatha emithini bayiphonsa emhumeni ababecashe kuwo, babeka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni womhume. Esekhona kuze kube namuhla.

²⁸UJoshuwa wathatha iMakheda ngalolo suku, walichitha ngosiko lwenkemba, wabulala inkosi yalo ngesiqalekiso, bona nabo bonke abantu ababekulo; wenza enkosini yaseMakheda njengalokho enzile enkosini yaseJeriko.

²⁹UJoshuwa wayesesuka eMakeda wonke u-Israyeli kanye naye kwaze kwaba seLibina, walwa emelene neLibina;

³⁰UJehova walinikela nenkosi yalo esandleni sakwa-Israyeli; walishaya ngosiko lwenkemba nabo bonke ababekulo; akavumelanga ukuba kusale muntu kulo; wenza enkosini yakhe njengalokho enzile enkosini yaseJeriko.

³¹UJoshuwa wasuka eLibina no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye, waya eLakishi, wamisa malungana nalo, walwa nalo.

³²UJehova walinikela iLakishi esandleni sika-Israyeli, walithatha ngosuku lwesibili, walichitha ngosiko lwenkemba kanye nabo bonke abantu ababekulo, njengoba nje enza kulo iLibina.

³³Khona uHoramu inkosi yaseGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; uJoshuwa wamnqoba yena nabantu bakhe, waze wangabe esasala muntu.

³⁴UJoshuwa wayesesuka eLakishi, waya e-Egiloni, no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye; futhi bamisa ngokumelene nalo futhi balwa nalo.

³⁵Balithatha ngalolo suku balinqoba ngosiko lwenkemba, futhi yonke imiphefumulo eyayikulo wayishaya ngalolo suku ngesiqalekiso, njengoba nje enza ngeLagisi.

³⁶UJoshuwa wakhuphuka e-Egiloni no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye, waya eHebroni; balwa nalo.

³⁷Balithatha, balichitha ngosiko lwenkemba, nenkosi yalo, nayo yonke imizi yalo, nabo bonke abantu ababekulo; akashiyanga muntu, njengalokho enza ku-Egiloni; kodwa walishaya ngesiqalekiso nemiphefumulo yonke eyayikulo.

³⁸UJoshuwa wabuyela eDebiri, no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye; futhi walwa nalo.

³⁹Yasithatha kanye lenkosi yayo kanye layo yonke imizi yayo; babatshaya ngosiko lwenkemba, baqalekisa yonke imiphefumulo eyayikulo; akabanga namuntu; njengalokho enze eHebroni, wenze njalo eDebhiri nasenkosini yalo; njengalokho enzile kulo iLibina nenkosi yalo.

⁴⁰UJoshuwa walichitha lonke izwe lezintaba, nelaseningizimu, nelasesigodini, nelemithombo, nawo onke amakhosi alo;

⁴¹UJoshuwa wababulala kusukela eKadeshi-Barineya kwaze kwaba seGaza, nalo lonke izwe laseGosheni kuze kufike eGibeyoni.

⁴²UJoshuwa wawathatha wonke la makhosi nezwe lawo kanyekanye, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wayewalwela u-Israyeli.

⁴³UJoshuwa wabuyela ekamu laseGiligali, nawo wonke u-Israyeli enaye.
