UJoshuwa 5
Ukuhlubuka kukaJoshuwa kubiza indawo ngokuthi iGiligali
1Kwathi lapho onke amakhosi ama-Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga, nawo onke amakhosi amaKhanani asolwandle, ezwa ukuthi uJehova womisa amanzi aseJordani ngaphambili. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, saze sadabula, izinhliziyo zabo zaphela amandla, akwabe kusaba lukhuni kubo ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
2Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: “Zenzele omese ababukhali, uphinde usoke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngokwesibili.
3UJoshuwa wazenzela omese ababukhali, wabasoka abantwana bakwa-Israyeli entabeni yejwabu.
4Nasi isizathu sokuba uJoshuwa abasoke: Bonke abantu abaphuma eGibhithe, abesilisa, yebo, wonke amadoda empi, bafela ehlane endleleni ngemva kokuphuma kwabo eGibhithe.
5Bonke abantu abaphuma basokwa; kodwa bonke abantu ababezalelwe ehlane endleleni ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe abazange babasoke.
6Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane, aze abhubha onke amaqhawe aphuma eGibithe, ngokuba bengalilalelanga izwi likaJehova; uJehova afunga kubo ukuthi akayikuba nalutho. Sibabonise izwe uJehova alifungela okhokho babo ukusinika lona, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.
7Abantwana babo abavuse esikhundleni sabo, basoka uJoshuwa, ngokuba babengabangasokile, ngokuba babengabasokanga endleleni.
8Kwathi sebeqedile ukusoka abantu bonke, bahlala ezindaweni zabo ekamu baze baphola.
9INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Lamuhla ngilethulile kini ihlazo leGibhithe. Ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo lathiwa iGiligali kuze kube namuhla.
10Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamisa eGiligali, bagcina iphasika ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga kusihlwa emathafeni aseJeriko.
11Badla ngosuku olulandelayo emva kwephasika ukolweni wezwe, amaqebelengwane angenamvubelo nokolweni okuthosiwe ngalolo suku.
Umkhuzi webutho
12Imana lanqamuka ngangomuso sebedlile ukolweni wezwe; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababa naso imana; kepha badla ezithelweni zezwe laseKhanani ngalowo mnyaka.
13UJoshuwa wayeseJeriko, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabheka, bheka, nanto indoda imi maqondana naye iphethe inkemba yayo ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo; uJoshuwa waya kuye, wathi kuye: “Ungowethu noma ungowezitha zethu na?
14Wathi: “Qha; kodwa manje ngiyinduna yebutho leNkosi. UJoshuwa wawa ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini, wakhuleka kuye, wathi kuye: “Ithini inkosi yami encekwini yayo na?
15Induna yempi kaJehova yathi kuJoshuwa: “Khumula izicathulo zakho onyaweni lwakho; ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingcwele. UJoshuwa wenze njalo.
