Impi yokunqoba izwe
1Kwathi emva kokufa kukaJoshuwa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bambuza uJehova, bathi: “Ngubani phakathi kwethu oyakusikhuphukela kuqala ukulwa namaKhanani na?
2Wayesethi uJehova: “UJuda uyakukhuphuka; bheka, ngiyakunikela izwe esandleni sakhe.
3UJuda wasesithi kumfowabo uSimeyoni: Yenyuka lami esabelweni sami, silwe lamaKhanani; futhi nami ngizohamba nawe esimisweni sakho. USimeyoni wayesehamba naye.
4Wakhuphuka uJuda; uJehova wanikela amaKhanani namaPherizi esandleni sabo, babulala kubo abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi eBezeki.
5Bamfumana u-Adoni-bezeki eBezeki, balwa naye, babulala amaKhanani namaPherizi.
6Kepha u-Adoni-bezeki wabaleka; bamxosha, bambamba, bamnquma izithupha namazwane akhe.
7Wayesethi u-Adoni-bezeki: “Amakhosi angamashumi ayisithupha neshumi ayenquma izithupha noqukula abutha phansi kwetafula lami; njengoba ngenzile, kanjalo uNkulunkulu ungibuyisele. Basebemyisa eJerusalema, wafela khona.
8Abantwana bakwaJuda balwa neJerusalema, balithatha, balinqoba ngosiko lwenkemba, bashisa umuzi.
9Ngemva kwalokho abantwana bakwaJuda behla ukuze balwe namaKhanani ayehlala ezintabeni, eningizimu, nasesigodini.
10UJuda wasesuka wahlasela amaKhanani ayakhe eHebroni; igama leHebroni kuqala laliyiKiriyati Araba; babulala oSheshayi, no-Ahimani, noTalimayi.
11Wasuka lapho, wahlasela abakhileyo eDebiri; igama leDebiri laliyiKiriyati-Seferi ngaphambili.
12Wayesethi uKalebi: “Onqoba iKiriyati-Seferi, alithathe, ngiyakumnika u-Akisa indodakazi yami abe ngumkakhe.”
13U-Otheniyeli indodana kaKenazi, umnewabo kaKalebi, walithatha, wamnika u-Asa indodakazi yakhe, ibe ngumkakhe.
14Esefikile kuye, yamncenga ukuthi acele kuyise isiqephu sezwe; uKalebi wathi kuye: “Ufunani na?
15Wathi kuye: “Nginike isibusiso, ngokuba unginike izwe laseNingizimu; nginike nemithombo yamanzi. UKalebi wamnika imithombo yasenhla nemithombo yangezansi.
16Abantwana bamaKheni, umukhwe kaMose, bakhuphuka kanye nabantwana bakwaJuda besuka emzini wesundu baya ehlane lakwaJuda elingaseningizimu kwase-Aradi; bahamba bahlala phakathi kwabantu.
17UJuda wahamba noSimeyoni umfowabo, babulala amaKhanani ayakhe eSefati, baliqalekisa. Igama lomuzi lathiwa iHorma.
18UJuda wathumba iGaza nogu lwalo, ne-Ashikeloni nogu lwalo, ne-Ekroni nogu lwalo.
19UJehova wayenaye uJuda; wabaxosha abakhe entabeni; kodwa babengenakuxosha abakhe esigodini, ngokuba babenezinqola zensimbi.
20Bamnika uKalebi iHebroni, njengokusho kukaMose; wawaxosha khona amadodana amathathu ka-Anaki.
21Abantwana bakwaBenjamini abawaxoshanga amaJebusi ayehlala eJerusalema; kepha amaJebusi ahlala nabantwana bakwaBenjamini eJerusalema kuze kube namuhla.
22Indlu kaJosefa nayo yakhuphukela eBethele, futhi uJehova wayenabo.
23Indlu kaJosefa yathumela ukuhlola iBethele. (Manje igama lomuzi laliyiLuze.)
24Izinhloli zabona umuntu ephuma emzini, zathi kuye: “Sibonise indlela yokungena emzini, siyakukwenzela umusa.”
25Lapho ebabonisa indlela yokungena emzini, bawuchitha umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba; kodwa bamdedela lowo kanye nomndeni wakhe wonke.
26Lowo muntu waya ezweni lamaHeti, wakha umuzi, wawubiza ngokuthi iLusi, okuyigama lawo kuze kube namuhla.
27UManase akabanga nabo abakhileyo eBeti Sheyani, neThahanaki nezindawo zalo eziphansi, nabakhileyo eDori nezindawo zalo eziphansi, nabakhileyo e-Ibileyamu namazanyana alo, nabakhileyo eMegido nezindawo zalo eziphansi. Hhayi ukuxosha; kodwa amaKhanani ayefuna ukuhlala kulelolizwe.
28Kwathi lapho u-Israyeli esenamandla, wakhokhisa amaKhanani, awazange awaxoshe ngokuphelele.
29U-Efrayimi akawaxoshanga amaKhanani ayakhe eGezeri; kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwabo eGezeri.
30UZebuloni akabaxoshanga abahlali baseKitroni nabakhe eNahaloli; kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwabo, aba yizinceku zakhe.
31U-Asheri naye akabaxoshanga abakhileyo e-Akgo nabakhe eSidoni, ne-Agilabi, ne-Agisibi, neHeliba, ne-Aphiki, neRehobe.
32Kodwa ama-Asheri ahlala phakathi kwamaKhanani ayakhe kulelo zwe, ngoba awazange awaxoshe.
33UNafetali akaxoshanga nabakhe eBeti Shemeshi nabakhe eBeti-anati; kepha wahlala phakathi kwamaKhanani akhileyo kulelo zwe; kepha abakhileyo eBeti Shemeshi naseBethanati baba ngabathelisi babo.
34Ama-Amori amphoqa umntwana entabeni, ngokuba ayengafuni ukubavumela ukuba behlele esigodini.
35Kodwa ama-Amori ahlala entabeni yaseHeresi e-Ajaloni naseSaalbimi;
36Umkhawulo wama-Amori wasukela eqhineni lase-Akrabimi, edwaleni, wenyuka.
