UJoshuwa 8

¹UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Ungesabi, ungapheli amandla; thatha bonke abantu bempi kanye nawe, uqede, ukhuphukele e-Ayi; bheka, ngiyayinikela esandleni sakho inkosi yase-Ayi, nabantu bayo, nomuzi wayo, nezwe layo;

²Uyakwenza kulo i-Ayi nenkosi yalo njengalokho wenza kulo iJeriko nenkosi yalo; kuphela impango yalo nezinkomo zalo niyakuzithathela lona; ziqamekele umuzi emva kwawo.

³UJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bempi bazilungiselela ukukhuphukela e-Ayi; uJoshuwa wakhetha amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu, wawamukisa ebusuku.

⁴Wabayala wathi: “Bhekani, nilele niqapha umuzi, yebo, emva komuzi; ningahambi kude kakhulu nomuzi, kepha wonke umuntu makalungele.

⁵Mina nabo bonke abantu abanami siyakusondela emzini, uma bephuma ukulwa nathi njengakuqala, siyakubaleka phambi kwabo;

⁶(ngokuba bayakuphuma emva kwethu) size sibadonsele ngaphandle komuzi; ngoba bazakuthi: Babaleka phambi kwethu njengakuqala; ngakho-ke siyakubabalekela.

⁷Khona-ke kumelwe usuke lapho oqamekele khona uwuthathe umuzi, ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyowunikela esandleni sakho.

⁸Lapho seniwuthathile umuzi, kumelwe niwuthungele ngomlilo; ngokomyalo kaJehova kumelwe nenze. Bhekani, nginiyalile.

⁹UJoshuwa wabathuma, baqamekela, bahlala phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi ngasentshonalanga kwase-Ayi; kepha uJoshuwa walala phakathi kwabantu ngalobo busuku.

¹⁰UJoshuwa wayeseqeda ekuseni kakhulu, wababala abantu, wakhuphuka, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli, phambi kwabantu waya e-Ayi.

¹¹Bonke abantu, amadoda empi ayekanye naye, bakhuphuka, basondela, bafika phambi komuzi, bamisa ngasenyakatho kwase-Ayi; kwakukhona isigodi phakathi kwabo ne-Ayi.

¹²Wathatha amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu, wawaqamekela phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi ngasentshonalanga komuzi.

¹³Lapho sebemisa amadoda, yonke impi eyayisenyakatho yomuzi, nabaqambimanga bayo ngasentshonalanga komuzi, uJoshuwa wahamba ngalobo busuku phakathi nesigodi.

¹⁴Inkosi yase-Ayi ikubona lokho, baqeda masinyane nangovivi; abantu bomuzi baphuma ukulwa no-Israyeli, yona nabantu bayo bonke, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo phambi kwethafa; kodwa wayengazi ukuthi ngemva komuzi kwakukhona ababemqamekele.

¹⁵UJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli benza sengathi bahluliwe phambi kwabo, babaleka ngendlela eya ehlane.

¹⁶Bonke abantu ababese-Ayi babizelwa ndawonye ukuba babaxoshe, bamxosha uJoshuwa, basuka emzini.

¹⁷Akwasala muntu e-Ayi naseBethele ongaphumanga ukulandela u-Israyeli; bawushiya umuzi uvulekile, baxosha u-Israyeli.

¹⁸UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Yelulela umkhonto osesandleni sakho ngase-Ayi; ngokuba ngiyakuwunikela esandleni sakho. UJoshuwa welulela umkhonto owawusesandleni sakhe ngasedolobheni.

¹⁹Abaqamekeli bavuka masinyane endaweni yabo, bagijima lapho nje elula isandla sakhe; bangena emzini bawuthatha baphuthuma bawuthungela ngomlilo umuzi.

²⁰Amadoda ase-Ayi aqalaza, abona, bheka, umusi womuzi wenyukela ezulwini, awabanga namandla okubaleka ngapha nangapha; abantu ababebalekele ehlane babaphendukela ababebaxosha.

²¹Lapho uJoshuwa no-Israyeli wonke bebona ukuthi abaqamekeli bawuthathile umuzi nokuthi umusi wawukhuphuka emzini, baphenduka bawabulala amadoda ase-Ayi.

²²Laba abanye baphuma emzini ukumelana labo; ayephakathi kukaIsrayeli, abanye ngalapha, abanye ngale; babanqoba, kangangokuthi abashiyanga noyedwa kubo owaphunyuka.

²³Bayibamba inkosi yase-Ayi iphila, bayiyisa kuJoshuwa;

²⁴Kwathi u-Israyeli eseqedile ukubulala bonke abakhileyo e-Ayi endle, ehlane ababebaxoshele kulo, sebewa bonke ngosiko lwenkemba baze baqedwa, wonke u-Israyeli wabuyela e-Ayi, wayinqoba. Yona ngobukhali benkemba.

²⁵Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi bonke abawa ngalolo suku, abesilisa nabesifazane, babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, wonke amadoda ase-Ayi.

²⁶UJoshuwa akasibuyisanga isandla sakhe ayewelule ngaso umkhonto, waze wababulala bonke abakhileyo e-Ayi ngesiqalekiso.

²⁷Izinkomo kuphela nempango yalowo muzi u-Israyeli wazithathela yona, njengezwi likaJehova ayala ngalo uJoshuwa.

²⁸UJoshuwa walishisa i-Ayi, walenza laba yinqwaba kuze kube phakade, ihlane kuze kube namuhla.

²⁹Inkosi yase-Ayi wayiphanyeka emthini kwaze kwahlwa; kwathi lapho nje ilanga selishonile, uJoshuwa wayala ukuba behlise isidumbu sakhe esihlahleni basijikijele ngasemnyango wesango lomuzi bamise phezu kwaso inqwaba enkulu yamatshe esekhona kuze kube yilolu suku.

³⁰UJoshuwa wamakhela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli i-altare entabeni yase-Ebali,

³¹njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova wayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho kaMose, i-altare lamatshe aphelele, okungekho muntu owaphakamisa insimbi phezu kwalo; banikela phezu kwalo iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova, banikela ngemihlatshelo yokubonga.

³²Waloba khona ematsheni ikhophi yomthetho kaMose awuloba phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

³³Wonke u-Israyeli, namalunga akhe, nezikhulu, nabahluleli bakhe, bema ngalapha komphongolo nangapha phambi kwabapristi, amaLevi athwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, nomfokazi, naye wazalwa phakathi kwabo; inxenye yabo malungana nezintaba zeGerizimu, nenxenye yabo malungana nentaba yase-Ebali; njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ayala ngaphambili ukuba babusise abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

³⁴Ngemva kwalokho wafunda wonke amazwi omthetho, izibusiso neziqalekiso, ngokuvumelana nakho konke okulotshwe encwadini yomthetho.

³⁵Akubangakho nelilodwa izwi kukho konke uMose ayala ngakho, uJoshuwa angalifundanga phambi kwenhlangano yonke yakwa-Israyeli, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabafokazi ababebazi phakathi kwabo.
