UYOSHUWA 22
22
Izizwe ezibini ezinesiqingatha ziphindiselwa emakhayeni azo
1Wandula uYoshuwa ukuwabiza amaRubhen, namaGadi, nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase, wathi kuwo, 2Nikugcinile konke, uMoses umkhonzi kaYehova abeniwisele ngako umthetho, naliphulaphula izwi lam ezintweni zonke endiniwisele umthetho ngazo. 3Anibashiyanga abazalwana benu ezi mini zininzi unanamhla; ke nisigcinile isigxina somthetho kaYehova uThixo wenu. 4Kaloku uYehova, uThixo wenu, ubaphumzile abazalwana benu, njengoko wathethayo kubo. Kaloku ke jikani, niye ezintenteni zenu, ezweni lelifa lenu, abeninike lona uMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, phesheya kweYordan. 5Kodwa gcinani kunene ukuba niwenze umthetho nomyalelo awaniwiselayo uMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, wokuba nimthande uYehova uThixo wenu, nihambe ngeendlela zakhe zonke, niyigcine imithetho yakhe, ninamathele kuye, nimkhonze ngentliziyo yenu yonke, nangomphefumlo wenu wonke.
6Wabasikelela uYoshuwa, wabandulula; baya ezintenteni zabo.
7UMoses ebesinikile ilifa isiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase eBhashan; esinye isiqingatha saso uYoshuwa wasinika kunye nabazalwana baso nganeno kweYordan, ngasentshonalanga. Kananjalo xenikweni uYoshuwa wasindululela ezintenteni zaso, wasisikelela naso. 8Wathi kuso, Buyelani ezintenteni zenu, ninobutyebi obukhulu, ninengqwebo eninzi kunene, nesilivere, negolide, nobhedu, nesinyiti, neengubo ezininzi kunene. Yabelanani nabazalwana benu ngamaxhoba eentshaba zenu.

Ke musani ukugwilika kuYehova, musani ukugwilika kuthi ngokuzakhela isibingelelo esingesiso isibingelelo sikaYehova uThixo wethu. 20Akamenezanga yini na uAkan, unyana kaZera, ngobumenemene entweni esingelwe phantsi, kwaza kwabakho uburhalarhume phezu kwebandla lonke lamaSirayeli? Loo mntu mnye akatshabalalanga yedwa ngobugwenxa bakhe.
21Baphendula oonyana bakaRubhen, noonyana bakaGadi, nesiqingatha sesizwe soonyana bakaManase, bathetha neentloko zamawaka akwaSirayeli, bathi, 22UThixo, uThixo uYehova, uThixo, uThixo uYehova, uyazi, amaSirayeli ayakwazi, ukuba oko kwenziwe ngokugwilika na, nangokumeneza kuYehova. 23Ùze ungàsisindisi namhlanje, ukuba sizakhéle isibingelelo sokusibuyisa ekulandeleni uYehova, nokuba sinyusa phezu kwaso idini elinyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla, nokuba senzele phezu kwaso imibingelelo yoxolo: uYehova ngokwakhe makakubuze oko. 24Inene, siyenze le nto ngesithukuthezi, ngethuba lokuthi, Ngexesha elizayo bothi oonyana benu koonyana bethu, Yintoni na enani noYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli? 25UYehova umise umda oyiYordan phakathi kwethu nani, nyana bakaRubhen, nyana bakaGadi; aninasabelo kuYehova nina: oonyana benu bénze ukuba oonyana bethu bayeke ukumoyika uYehova. 26Sithé ke, Makhe sizenzele, sizakhele isibingelelo, singesadini linyukayo, singesambingelelo; 27sibe lingqina phakathi kwethu nani, naphakathi kwezizukulwana zethu emva kwethu, ukuba sisébenze umsebenzi kaYehova phambi kwakhe ngamadini ethu anyukayo, nangemibingelelo yethu, nangemibingelelo yethu yoxolo; ukuze bangàtsho oonyana benu ngexesha elizayo koonyana bethu, ukuthi, Aninasabelo kuYehova nina. 28Sathi ke, Kothi, xa bathe batsho kuthi, nakwizizukulwana zethu ngexesha elizayo, sibe nako ukuthi, Khangelani imfano yesibingelelo sikaYehova abayenzáyo oobawo, ingeyadini linyukayo, ingeyambingelelo, ilingqina phakathi kwethu nani. 29Makube lé kuthi ngenxa yakhe ukuba sigwilike kuYehova, sibuye namhla ekumlandeleni uYehova, silakhele isibingelelo idini elinyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla, nombingelelo, esingesiso isibingelelo sikaYehova uThixo wethu, esiphambi komnquba wakhe.
30Amazwi aba wathetháyo oonyana bakaRubhen, noonyana bakaGadi, noonyana bakaManase, waweva uPinehasi umbingeleli, nezikhulu zebandla, neentloko zamawaka akwaSirayeli ezazinaye, alunga emehlweni abo. 31Wathi ke uPinehasi unyana kaElazare, umbingeleli, koonyana bakaRubhen, nakoonyana bakaGadi, nakoonyana bakaManase, Namhla siyazi ukuba uYehova uphakathi kwethu, ngokuba ningabenzanga obo bumenemene kuYehova. Ngale nto nibahlángule oonyana bakaSirayeli esandleni sikaYehova. 32Wabuya ke uPinehasi unyana kaElazare, umbingeleli, nezikhulu ezo, koonyana bakaRubhen, nakoonyana bakaGadi, ezweni laseGiliyadi; beza ezweni lakwaKanan, koonyana bakaSirayeli, bebabuyisela ilizwi. 33Ilizwi elo lalunga emehlweni oonyana bakaSirayeli. Oonyana bakaSirayeli bambonga uThixo, ababa sathetha ngokunyuka baye kubo ngobumpi, balitshabalalise ilizwe abahleli kulo oonyana bakaRubhen noonyana bakaGadi. 34Oonyana bakaRubhen noonyana bakaGadi basibiza isibingelelo ngokuthi, Lingqina phakathi kwethu ukuba uYehova unguye uThixo.
