¹Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wabiza abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sabakoManase,

²wathi kubo: Lina ligcinile konke uMozisi inceku ye Nkosi eyalilaya khona, lalilalela ilizwi lami kukho konke engalilaya khona.

³Kalibatshiyanga abafowenu kulezinsuku ezinengi, kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa ligcinile imfanelo yomlayo we Nkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.

⁴Khathesi-ke, i Nkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ibanikile abafowenu ukuphumula, njengalokho akukhuluma kubo. Ngakho-ke buyelani lina liye emathenteni enu elizweni lelifa lenu, alinika lona uMozisi inceku ye Nkosi ngaphetsheya kweJordani.

⁵Kuphela liqaphelisise ukwenza umlayo lomthetho uMozisi inceku ye Nkosi alilaya wona, ukuthanda i Nkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lokuhamba endleleni zayo zonke, lokugcina imilayo yayo, lokunamathela kuyo, lokuyikhonza ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke.

⁶Wasebabusisa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba, baya emathenteni abo.

⁷Njalo kungxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase uMozisi wayeyinike indawo eBashani; kodwa kungxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yayo uJoshuwa wayinika indawo labafowabo nganeno kweJordani entshonalanga. Njalo-ke nxa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba besiya emathenteni abo, wababusisa.

⁸Wakhuluma labo esithi: Buyelani emathenteni enu lilenotho enengi lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu lilesiliva legolide lethusi lensimbi lezigqoko ezinengi kakhulu; lehlukaniselane impango yezitha zenu labafowenu.

⁹Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase basebebuyela, besuka ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli bephuma eShilo eselizweni leKhanani, ukuya elizweni leGileyadi, elizweni lelifa labo ababelizuzile, ngokomlayo we Nkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.

¹⁰Kwathi sebefikile emingceleni yeJordani eselizweni leKhanani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase bakha khona ilathi ngaseJordani, ilathi elikhulu ngokubonakala.

¹¹Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli besizwa kuthiwa: Khangelani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase bakhile ilathi maqondana lelizwe leKhanani emingceleni eJordani ehlangothini lwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

¹²Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli be ku zwa, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShilo ukwenyukela kubo empini.

¹³Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethuma kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi uPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi,

¹⁴lezinduna ezilitshumi laye, induna eyodwa ngendlu ngayinye yaboyise ivela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli; ngayinye yayiyinhloko yendlu yaboyise, kunkulungwane zakoIsrayeli.

¹⁵Basebefika kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi, bakhuluma labo besithi:

¹⁶Itsho njalo inhlangano yonke ye Nkosi: Kuyisiphambeko bani eseliphambeke ngaso limelane loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, liphambuka lamuhla ekuyilandeleni i Nkosi, ekuzakheleni ilathi, ukuze lihlamukele i Nkosi lamuhla?

¹⁷Ngabe isiphambeko sePeyori sincinyane kakhulu kithi yini, esingahlanjululwanga kuso kuze kube lamuhla, lanxa inhlupheko yayiphakathi kwenhlangano ye Nkosi,

¹⁸ukuze lina liphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni i Nkosi? Kuzakuthi uba lina liyihlamuka i Nkosi lamuhla, kusasa izayithukuthelela inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli.

¹⁹Kodwa ngeqiniso, uba ilizwe lemfuyo yenu lingcolile, chaphelani lina elizweni lemfuyo ye Nkosi lapho ithabhanekele le Nkosi elihlala khona, lizizuzele imfuyo phakathi kwethu; kodwa lingayihlamukeli i Nkosi njalo lingasihlamukeli ekuzakheleni kwenu ilathi ngaphandle kwelathi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

²⁰UAkani indodana kaZera kaphambekanga yini ngesiphambeko entweni eqalekisiweyo, kwasekusiba lolaka phezu kwenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli? Leyondoda kayibhubhanga-ke yodwa esiphambekweni sayo.

²¹Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase basebephendula bathi kunhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli:

²²UNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, i Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, i Nkosi, uyazi, loIsrayeli uzakwazi. Uba bekungokuhlamuka kumbe uba ngokuphambuka e Nkosi ni, lingasisindisi lamuhla,

²³ukuthi sizakhele ilathi ukuphambuka ekuyilandeleni i Nkosi, loba sinikelele phezu kwalo umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umnikelo wokudla, loba ukwenza phezu kwalo iminikelo yokuthula, i Nkosi uqobo kayikudinge.

²⁴Kodwa ngeqiniso sikwenze ngokunqineka nga lolu daba sisithi: Kusasa abantwana benu bazakhuluma kubantwana bethu bathi: Lilani le Nkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli?

²⁵Ngoba i Nkosi iyenzile iJordani yaba ngumngcele phakathi kwethu lani, lina bantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi, kalilasabelo e Nkosi ni. Ngalokho abantwana benu benze abantwana bethu ukuthi bayekele ukuyesaba i Nkosi.

²⁶Ngakho sathi: Kasizilungiseleni khathesi ukwakha ilathi, lingabi ngelomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo lingabi ngelomhlatshelo,

²⁷kodwa libe yibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani lezizukulwana zethu emva kwethu, ukuthi sikhonze inkonzo ye Nkosi phambi kwayo ngeminikelo yethu yokutshiswa langemihlatshelo yethu langeminikelo yethu yokuthula, ukuze abantwana benu bangathi ebantwaneni bethu kusasa: Kalilasabelo e Nkosi ni.

²⁸Sasesisithi: Kuzakuthi-ke, nxa bekhuluma lokhu kithi lesizukulwaneni sethu kusasa, sizakuthi: Bonani umfanekiso welathi le Nkosi obaba abalakhayo, kungeyisilo lomnikelo wokutshiswa lingeyisilo lomhlatshelo, kodwa liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani.

²⁹Kakube khatshana lathi ukuthi siyihlamuke i Nkosi, lokuthi siphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni i Nkosi, ukwakha ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lelomnikelo wokudla lelomhlatshelo, ngaphandle kwelathi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eliphambi kwethabhanekele layo.

³⁰Kwathi uPhinehasi umpristi lenduna zenhlangano lenhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli ezazilaye bewezwa amazwi abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoManase abawakhulumayo, kwakukuhle emehlweni abo.

³¹UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lakubantwana bakoManase: Lamuhla siyazi ukuthi i Nkosi iphakathi kwethu, ngoba kaliphambekanga lesisiphambeko e Nkosi ni; khathesi likhulule abantwana bakoIsrayeli esandleni se Nkosi.

³²UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi lezinduna basebebuyela bevela ebantwaneni bakoRubeni lebantwaneni bakoGadi elizweni leGileyadi, besiya elizweni leKhanani ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, babuyisela ilizwi kubo.

³³Lodaba lwaluluhle emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambusisa uNkulunkulu, kabasakhulumanga ngo kwenyukela kubo empini ukuchitha ilizwe abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi ababehlala kulo.

³⁴Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi balibiza ilathi ngokuthi: Liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu bokuthi i Nkosi inguNkulunkulu.
