UJoshuwa 6

¹IJeriko lalivaliwe ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; akuphumi muntu kungangeni muntu.

²UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: “Bheka, nginikela esandleni sakho iJeriko nenkosi yalo namaqhawe anamandla;

³Kumelwe nizungeze umuzi, wonke amadoda enu empi, nizungeze umuzi kanye. Ngakho kufanele wenze izinsuku eziyisithupha.

⁴Abapristi abayisikhombisa bayakuthwala izimpondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komphongolo; ngosuku lwesikhombisa niyakuwuzungeza umuzi kasikhombisa, abapristi bashaye amacilongo.

⁵Lapho bebetha uphondo lwenqama isikhathi eside, lapho nizwa ukukhala kwecilongo, bonke abantu bayakukhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu; ugange lomuzi luyakuwa, abantu bakhuphuke, kube yilowo nalowo phambi kwakhe.

⁶UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wabiza abapristi, wathi kubo: “Phakamisani umphongolo wesivumelwano, abapristi abayisikhombisa baphathe izimpondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komphongolo kaJehova.

⁷Wathi kubantu: “Sukani nizungeze umuzi, abahlomileyo mabadlule phambi komphongolo kaJehova.”

⁸Kwathi uJoshuwa ekhuluma ebantwini, abapristi abayisikhombisa abathwele izimpondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa bahamba phambi kukaJehova, babetha amacilongo, umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wabalandela.

⁹Abahlomileyo baphuma phambi kwabapristi ababetha amacilongo, umvuzo walandela umphongolo, abapristi bahamba bevuthela izimpondo.

¹⁰UJoshuwa wayala abantu, wathi: “Aniyikukhamuluka, ningakhamuki ngezwi lenu, kungaphumi lizwi emlonyeni wenu, kuze kufike usuku enginiyala ngalo ukuba nimemeze; khona-ke kufanele umemeze.

¹¹Umphongolo kaJehova wawuzungeza umuzi, waya khona kanye, bangena ekamu, balala ekamu.

¹²UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, abapristi bawuthwala umphongolo kaJehova.

¹³Abapristi abayisikhombisa abathwala izimpondo zezinqama eziyisikhombisa phambi komphongolo kaJehova badabula, babetha izimpondo; abahlomileyo baphuma phambi kwabo; kodwa umvuzo wafika ngemva komphongolo kaJehova, abapristi bahamba bevuthela izimpondo.

¹⁴Ngosuku lwesibili bawuzungeza umuzi kanye, babuyela ekamu; benze njalo izinsuku eziyisithupha.

¹⁵Ngosuku lwesikhombisa bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bawuzungeza umuzi kasikhombisa ngendlela efanayo; kodwa ngalolo suku bawuzungeza umuzi kasikhombisa.

¹⁶Kwathi ngokwesikhombisa abapristi sebevuthela amacilongo, uJoshuwa wathi kubantu: “Khamulukani! ngoba uJehova uninikile umuzi.

¹⁷Umuzi uyakuqalekiswa, wona nakho konke okukuwo, kuJehova; uRahabi isifebe kuphela oyakuphila, yena nabo bonke abanaye endlini, ngokuba wafihla izithunywa esazithumayo.

¹⁸Kumelwe niziqaphe empahleni eyenqatshelwe, funa niqalekiswe, uma namukela empahleni echithiweyo, nenze ikamu lika-Israyeli libe yisiqalekiso, niliqalekise.

¹⁹Kepha lonke isiliva negolide nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi kungcweliselwe uJehova; kufanele ingene endlini yengcebo kaJehova.

²⁰Abantu basebekhamuluka lapho abapristi bebetha amacilongo; lapho abantu bezwa ukukhala kwecilongo, abantu bekhamuluka ngokukhamuluka okukhulu, ugange lwawa bhusma, kangangokuthi abantu bakhuphuka. Bangena emzini, wonke umuntu ephambi kwakhe, bawuthatha umuzi.

²¹Bachitha bonke ababesemzini ngesiqalekiso, owesilisa nowesifazane, abasha nabadala, nezinkomo, nezimvu, nezimbongolo, ngosiko lwenkemba.

²²Kodwa uJoshuwa wathi emadodeni amabili ayehlola ilizwe: Ngenani endlini yesifebe likhuphe lapho owesifazana lakho konke alakho, njengokufunga kwenu kuye.

²³Izinsizwa ezaziyizinhloli zangena, zamkhipha uRahabi, noyise, nonina, nabafowabo, nakho konke anakho; bakhipha zonke izizukulwane zakhe, bazishiya ngaphandle kwekamu lika-Israyeli.

²⁴Bawushisa umuzi ngomlilo nakho konke okwakukuwo, isiliva kuphela, negolide, nezinto zethusi, nezensimbi, bakubeka endlini yengcebo yendlu kaJehova.

²⁵UJoshuwa wayesebasindisa uRahabi isifebe, nendlu kayise, nabo bonke anabo; wahlala kwa-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla; ngoba wafihla izithunywa uJoshuwa azithuma ukuhlola iJeriko.

²⁶UJoshuwa wabaqalekisa ngaleso sikhathi, wathi: “Makaqalekiswe phambi kukaJehova umuntu osuka akhe lo muzi waseJeriko; uyakubeka isisekelo salo ngezibulo lakhe, futhi indodana yakhe encane iyomisa amasango alo.

²⁷UJehova waba njalo noJoshuwa; udumo lwakhe lwaba lukhulu ezweni lonke.
