UJoshuwa 24:7-15 CZB24

Lapho bembiza uJehova, wabeka ubumnyama phakathi kwenu nabaseGibhithe, waletha ulwandle phezu kwabo, wabasibekela; amehlo enu akubona engakwenzayo eGibithe, nahlala isikhathi eside ehlane. Nganingenisa ezweni lama-Amori ahlala ngaphesheya kweJordani; futhi balwa nawe; ngiwanikele esandleni senu, ukuze lidle ilifa lelizwe lawo; ngabachitha phambi kwakho. UBalaki indodana kaSipori, inkosi yakwaMowabi, wasukuma walwa no-Israyeli, wathumela wabiza uBileyamu indodana kaBeyori ukuba aniqalekise. Kepha angivumanga ukumlalela uBileyamu; ngakho-ke usakubusisa; ngalokho nganisindisa esandleni sakhe. Nawela iJordani, nafika eJeriko, amadoda aseJeriko alwa nani, ama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaKhanani, namaHeti, namaGirigashi, namaHivi, namaJebusi; ngiwanikele esandleni sakho. Ngathuma iminyovu phambi kwenu, eyawaxosha phambi kwenu, amakhosi amabili ama-Amori; kodwa kungabi ngenkemba yakho noma ngomnsalo wakho. Nganinika izwe eningalisebenzelanga, nemizi eningayakhanga, nahlala kuyo; izivini neminqumo eningayitshalanga niyadla. Mesabeni manje uJehova, nimkhonze ngobuqotho nangeqiniso; nisuse onkulunkulu ababakhonzayo oyihlo phesheya koMfula naseGibithe; nikhonze uJehova. Uma kukubi emehlweni enu ukumkhonza uJehova, zikhetheleni namuhla ukuthi ngubani eniyakumkhonza; noma onkulunkulu ababakhonzayo oyihlo ababephesheya komfula, nonkulunkulu bama-Amori enihlala ezweni lawo; kepha mina nendlu yami siyakumkhonza uJehova.
