1Wavalwa ke umzi waseYeriko ngenxa yoonyana bakaSirayeli; akwaphuma mntu, kungangeni mntu. 2Wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa, Yabona, ndiyinikela esandleni sakho iYeriko, nokumkani wayo, namagorha anobukroti. 3Wujikelezeni umzi, nonke nina madoda okulwa, niwujikeleze umzi kube kanye; Uya kwenjenjalo ngeentsuku ezintandathu. 4Ke isixhenxe sababingeleli sothabatha iimpondo ezisixhenxe zenkunzi yegusha, phambi kwetyeya; ngomhla wesixhenxe nijikeleze isixeko izihlandlo ezisixhenxe, yaye ababingeleli bamele bavuthele izigodlo zeenkunzi zeegusha. 5Ekuvuthelweni kwesigodlo ixesha elide, nasekuveni isandi sesigodlo, baduma bonke abantu, baduma; kwaye udonga lwesixeko luya kuwa, kwaye abantu baya kunyuka, ngamnye amkhokela. 6uYoshuwa, unyana kaNun, wababiza ababingeleli, wathi kubo, Thwalani ityeya yomnqophiso, ababingeleli abasixhenxe bathabathe iimpondo ezisixhenxe zenkunzi yegusha, baqhube ityeya kaYehova. 7Wathi ebantwini, Yiyani, niwungenele umzi, abaxhobileyo bagqithe ngokukhawuleza etyeyeni kaYehova. 8Xa uYoshuwa wayethetha nabantu, ababingeleli abasixhenxe abaphethe izigodlo ezisixhenxe zenkunzi yegusha bahamba phambi koYehova, bevuthela izigodlo, yaye ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova yabalandela. 9Abaxhobileyo babakhokela ababingeleli abaquphayo ukuvuthela ngezigodlo, umvuzo ulandela ityeya, ababingeleli baqupha ukuvuthela ngezigodlo. 10uYoshuwa wabawisela umthetho abantu, wathi, Musani ukuduma, ningawaphithi amazwi enu, ningaphumi lizwi emlonyeni wenu, ide ibe yimini endiniwisela umthetho ngayo ukuba nimbulale ukumkani; ngoko kufuneka ukhwaze. 11Yawujikeleza ke ityeya kaYehova umzi, yafika kwaba kanye kuwo; bangena eminqubeni, balala phakathi kweminquba; 12uYoshuwa wavuka kusasa ngengomso, bayithwala ababingeleli ityeya kaYehova. 13Ababingeleli abasixhenxe ababethwele iimpondo ezisixhenxe zeenkunzi zeegusha phambi kwetyeya kaYehova badlula baza bavuthela izigodlo; zikhokelwa ngamagorha; kodwa umvuzo waba ngasemva kwetyeya kaYehova, ekuqhubekeni kwababingeleli ukuvuthela ngezigodlo zokuvuthela. 14Ngomhla wesibini bawujikeleza umzi kanye, babuyela eminqubeni; benjenjalo iintsuku zantandathu. 15Bavuka kusasa ngengomso, bawujikeleza umzi kwangolo hlobo izihlandlo zasixhenxe; kodwa ngaloo mini basijikeleza isixeko izihlandlo ezisixhenxe. 16Kwathi ngesihlandlo sesixhenxe ababingeleli bavuthela izigodlo, waza uYoshuwa wathi ebantwini: “Khwazani! ngokuba uYehova uninikile umzi. 17Isixeko siya kuba sisiqalekiso kuYehova, sona nento yonke ekuso; kuphela nguRahabhi ihenyukazi yedwa owodla ubomi, yena nento yonke ekuye endlwini yakhe; ngokuba wabazimezayo abathunywa esabathumayo. 18Noko ke, zigcineni kwizinto ezalelweyo, ukuze ningaqalekiswa ngokwenu ukuba nithe nazamkela ezinye zezinto ezalelweyo, nenza inkampu kaSirayeli yaba yinto esingelwe phantsi, ibe isuka yabaqalekisa. 19Ke yona isilivere, negolide, neempahla zobhedu, nezesinyithi, zinyulelwe uYehova; iya kungena ebuncwaneni bukaYehova. 20Baduma ke abantu, ababingeleli ukuvuthela ngezigodlo baqupha; bakuva abantu isandi sesigodlo, baduma abantu ngodumo olukhulu, lwawa udonga, benyuka abantu bangena esixekweni, elowo ecaleni lakhe, wasithimba isixeko. 21Ababulala ngobushushu bekrele bonke ababekuloo mzi, amadoda nabafazi, abaselula nabadala, neenkomo, neegusha, namaesile. 22Wathi uYoshuwa kumadoda amabini abelihlolile ilizwe, Ngenani endlwini yehenyukazi, niyikhuphe loo nkazana nayo yonke impahla yayo, njengoko nayifungelayo; 23Abengenile ke amadodana aziintlola, amthabatha uRahabhi, noyise, nonina, nabanakwabo, nabo bonke abenabo; yaye bazikhupha zonke izizwe zakhe baza bazishiya ngaphandle kwenkampu yakwaSirayeli. 24Bawutshisa umzi ngomlilo, neento zonke eziluwo; ngaphandle kwesilivere, negolide, nezinto zobhedu, nezesinyithi, zazibeka ebuncwaneni bendlu kaYehova. 25uYoshuwa wamsindisa uRahabhi, ihenyukazi, nendlu kayise, nabo bonke abenabo; wahlala kwaSirayeli unanamhla; ngokuba ubebazime abathunywa, abebathumile uYoshuwa ukuba baye kuhlola iYeriko. 26Wawaqalekisa uYoshuwa ngelo xesha, esithi, Uqalekisiwe phambi koYehova umntu oya kusuka awakhe lo mzi, iYeriko le; wowuseka ngowamazibulo akhe, unyana wakhe omncinane awamise amasango ayo. 27uYehova waba noYoshuwa; udumo lwakhe lwaphuma ehlabathini lonke.
