UJoshuwa 7:10-26 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
USimakade wathi kuJoshuwa: “Sukuma! Uweleni ngobuso emhlabathini, na? U-Israyeli wonile, usephulile isivumelwano engimmisele sona. Bathathile izinto eziqalekisiweyo, bebile, benza inkohlakalo, bazithathile lezo zinto bazihlanganisa nempahla yabo. Ngakho-ke u-Israyeli akakwazi ukumelana nezitha zakhe; uyakuzifulathela izitha zakhe ngokuba usezenze into efanele ukubhujiswa. Angisezukuba nani ngaphandle kokuba nizishabalalise lezi zinto eziqalekisiwe eziphakathi kwenu. “Ngakho-ke suka ungcwelise abantu, uthi kubo: ‘Zingcweliseleni usuku lwakusasa, ngokuba usho kanje uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: kunezinto eziqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu, Israyeli aniyukuma phambi kwezitha zenu nize nikhiphe phakathi kwenu izinto eziqalekisiweyo. “ ‘Ngakho-ke kusasa niyakusondela ngezizwana zenu. Isizwana uSimakade ayakusikhetha, siyosondela ngokwemindeni yaso, umndeni awuthathayo usondele ngezindlu zawo, kuthi indlu ayithathayo uSimakade, kusondele umuntu ngamunye. Kuyothi umuntu oyotholakala enokuqalekisiweyo, ashiswe ngomlilo nakho konke anakho, ngokuba esephulile isivumelwano sikaSimakade, nangokuba enze into embi kakhulu kwa-Israyeli.’ ” Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wasondeza abantu bakwa-Israyeli ngokwezizwana zabo. Kwakhethwa isizwe sakwaJuda. Wasisondeza isizwana sakwaJuda, kwasondezwa umungu ngamunye emndenini wabakwaZera, kwase kuqokwa uZabhidi. Wayesesondeza abendlu yakhe ngamunye ngamunye, kwathi u-Akhani, indodana kaKharimi kaZabhidi kaZera, wesizwana sakwaJuda, wakhethwa. UJoshuwa wathi ku-Akhani: “Ndodana yami, mnikeze udumo uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uvume kuye isono sakho. Ngitshele manje ukuthi wenzeni; ungangifihleli lutho.” U-Akhani wamphendula uJoshuwa, wathi: “Kuliqiniso, yimi engonile kuSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Nakhu engikwenzileyo: lapho ngibona phakathi kwempango ingubo enhle eShinari, isiliva elingama-200 amashekeli, nesigaxa segolide esisisindo salo singamashekeli angama-50, ngakunxanela, ngase ngiyakuthatha. Manje ngikumbele ngakufihla phakathi ethendeni lami, isiliva lona liphansi kwakho konke.” Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wathumela izithunywa, zagijima zaya ethendeni lika-Akhani, zakufica lapho kufihliwe ethendeni lakhe, isiliva liphansi kwakho. Zakukhipha ethendeni zakuletha kuJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli, bakwendlala phambi kukaSimakade. UJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli ababenaye bamthatha u-Akhani, indodana kaZera, nesiliva, nengubo, nesigaxa segolide, namadodana namadodakazi akhe, nezinkabi zakhe nezimbongolo nezimvu nethende lakhe, nakho konke okwakungokwakhe, bakukhuphulela esigodini i-Akhori. UJoshuwa wathi: “Wenzeleni ukuba usilethele inhlupheko, na? USimakade uzakukulethela inhlekelele nawe namuhla.” Bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli bamkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa, babashisa ngomlilo, babakhanda ngamatshe. Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba yamatshe, esekhona nanamuhla. USimakade wayesephenduka olakeni lwakhe oluvuthayo. Ngakho-ke igama laleyo ndawo labizwa ngokuthi yisigodi i-Akhori.
UJoshuwa 7:10-26 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: “Sukuma; uweleni kanje ngobuso bakho na? U-Israyeli wonile, yebo, beqile isivumelwano sami engabayala ngaso, yebo, bathathile nakukho okuqalekisiweyo, futhi bebile, baqambile amanga, bakubeka kweyabo impahla. Ngalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanakuma phambi kwezitha zabo, bayafulathela izitha zabo, ngokuba sebeqalekisiwe; angisayikuba nani, uma ningachithi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu. “Suka ungcwelise abantu, uthi: ‘Zingcweliseleni ingomuso, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli usho kanje, uthi: Kukhona okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwakho, Israyeli; awunakuma phambi kwezitha zakho, ningakakususi okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu. “ ‘Kusasa niyakusondezwa ngezizwe zakini; kuyakuthi isizwe asithathayo uJehova sisondele ngemindeni; umndeni awuthathayo uJehova uyakusondela ngezindlu; indlu ayithathayo uJehova iyakusondela ngabantu. Kuyakuthi othathwayo enokuqalekisiweyo ashiswe ngomlilo, yena nakho konke anakho, ngokuba eqile isivumelwano sikaJehova nangokuba esebenzile ubuwula kwa-Israyeli.’ ” UJoshuwa wayesevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wasondeza u-Israyeli ngezizwe zakubo; isizwe sakwaJuda sathathwa. Wayesesondeza imindeni yakwaJuda; wathatha umndeni wakwaZera, wawusondeza umndeni wakwaZera ngabantu, kwathathwa uZabidi. Wayisondeza indlu yakhe ngabantu; u-Akani kaKarmi kaZabidi kaZera, owesizwe sakwaJuda, wathathwa. UJoshuwa wayesethi ku-Akani: “Ndodana yami, ake umnike uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli inkazimulo, uvume kuye, ungitshele okwenzileyo, ungangifihleli.” U-Akani wamphendula uJoshuwa, wathi: “Kuyiqiniso, ngonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngenza ukuthi nokuthi. Ngabona empangweni ingubo enhle yaseShineyari, namashekeli* angamakhulu amabili esiliva, nesigaxa segolide esinesisindo esingamashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu, ngakufisa, ngakuthatha; bheka, kuthukusiwe emhlabathini phakathi kwetende lami, nesiliva liphansi kwakho.” UJoshuwa wayesethuma izithunywa, zagijimela etendeni; bheka kwakuthukusiwe etendeni lakhe, isiliva liphansi. Zakukhipha phakathi kwetende, zakuyisa kuJoshuwa nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bakubeka phansi phambi kukaJehova. UJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli benaye bamthatha u-Akani indodana kaZera, nesiliva, nengubo, nesigaxa segolide, namadodana akhe, namadodakazi akhe, nezinkabi zakhe, nezimbongolo zakhe, nezimvu zakhe, netende lakhe, nakho konke anakho, bakukhuphulela esigodini sase-Akori. UJoshuwa wayesethi: “Usihlupheleni na? UJehova uzakukuhlupha namuhla.” Bonke abakwa-Israyeli bamkhanda ngamatshe; babashisa ngomlilo, babakhanda ngamatshe. Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba yamatshe; isekhona nanamuhla; uJehova waphenduka entukuthelweni yake enkulu. Ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi isigodi sase-Akori kuze kube namuhla.
UJoshuwa 7:10-26 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Sukuma; ucambalale kanje ngobuso bakho? U-Israyeli wona, nabo basephula isivumelwano sami engabayala ngaso; ngoba baze bathatha ezinye zezimpahla zasebhange futhi bantshontsha futhi futhi bathuthumela, bazibeka phakathi kwezimpahla zabo. Ngakho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babengenakuma phambi kwezitha zabo, kodwa bafulathela izitha zabo, ngoba babeqalekisiwe; angisayikuba nani ngaphandle kokuthi nibhubhise okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu. Vuka, ungcwelise abantu, uthi: ‘Zingcweliseleni ikusasa, ngokuba usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Kukhona okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwakho, Israyeli; awukwazi ukuma phambi kwezitha zakho uze ususe. Oqalekisiweyo phakathi kwenu. Ngalokho niyakulethwa ekuseni ngokwezizwe zenu; isizwe eyasamukela uJehova siyakufika ngokwezizukulwane zakhe; futhi isizukulwane uJehova ayakwamukela siyofika ngemindeni; lendlu uJehova ayakuyithatha izafika indoda ngendoda. Othathwe nempango uyakushiswa ngomlilo, yena nakho konke anakho, ngokuba wephule isivumelwano sikaJehova nangenxa yokuthi wenze ubuwula kwa-Israyeli. UJoshuwa wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wasondeza u-Israyeli ngokwezizwe zakhe; kwathathwa isizwe sakwaJuda. Wasondeza isizwe sakwaJuda; wathatha umndeni wamaSarigi; futhi waletha isizukulwane samaSarigi umuntu ngomuntu; noSabdi wathathwa. Wayesesondeza indlu yakhe ngendoda; kwakhethwa u-Akani, indodana kaKarmi, indodana kaSabidi, indodana kaSeraki, owesizwe sakwaJuda. UJoshuwa wayesethi ku-Akani: “Ndodana yami, mnike uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli inkazimulo, uvume kuye; manje ngitshele okwenzileyo; ungangifihleli. U-Akani wamphendula uJoshuwa, wathi: “Nempela ngonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngenzile kanje nakanje. Lapho ngabona empangweni ingubo enhle yaseBhabhiloni namashekeli angamakhulu amabili esiliva nesiphetho segolide esinesisindo esingamashekeli angamashumi amahlanu, ngakufisa, ngathatha; bheka, kuthukusiwe emhlabathini phakathi kwetende lami, nesiliva liphansi kwakho. UJoshuwa wayesethuma izithunywa, zagijimela etendeni; bheka, kwakufihliwe etendeni lakhe, nesiliva liphansi kwakho. Zakukhipha phakathi kwetende zakuyisa kuJoshuwa nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli zakubeka phambi kukaJehova. UJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli kanye naye bathatha u-Akani indodana kaSeraki nesiliva nengubo nesigqoko segolide, namadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe nezinkomo zakhe nezimbongolo zakhe nezimvu zakhe netende lakhe nakho konke ayenakho, baliyisa esigodini sase-Agori. Wayesethi uJoshuwa: “Usethuseleni na? uJehova uyakunesabisa namuhla. Wonke u-Israyeli wamkhanda ngamatshe, wabashisa ngomlilo, esebakhanda ngamatshe. Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu yamatshe kuze kube namuhla. Kanjalo uJehova waphenduka ekuvutheni kwentukuthelo yakhe. Ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi: IsiGodi sase-Agori kuze kube namuhla.
