1 Isabelo sesizwe sabantwana bakwaJuda ngemindeni yabo sasingasemkhawulweni wakwa-Edomi nasehlane laseSini ngaseningizimu, ngasekupheleni kweningizimu.
2Umkhawulo wabo waseningizimu wasuka ekupheleni koLwandle Lukasawoti, ethekwini elibheka ngaseningizimu, 3waphuma waya ngaseningizimu kommango wase-Akarabimi, wadlula waya eSini, wakhuphuka ngaseningizimu kwaseKadeshi Barineya, wadlula ngaseHesironi, wenyukela e-Adari, wajika waya eKaraka; 4wadlula waya e-Asimoni, waya emfuleni waseGibithe; ukuphuma komkhawulo kwakungaselwandle; lowo uyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu waseningizimu.
5Umkhawulo wasempumalanga wawuluLwandle Lukasawoti kuze kufike ekugcineni kweJordani. Umkhawulo wasohlangothini lwasenyakatho wasuka ethekwini lolwandle ngasekugcineni kweJordani; 6 umkhawulo wenyukela eBeti Hogila, wadlula ngasenyakatho kweBeti Araba; umkhawulo wakhuphukela etsheni likaBohanu indodana kaRubeni; 7umkhawulo wenyukela eDebiri usuka esigodini sase-Akori ngasenyakatho, ubheka ngaseGiligali elibhekana nommango wase-Adumimi elingaseningizimu komfula; umkhawulo wawusudlula, waya emanzini asemthonjeni waseShemeshi; ukuphuma kwawo kwakungasemthonjeni waseRogeli; 8wawusukhuphuka umkhawulo esigodini sendodana kaHinomu ngaseceleni kweJebusi ngaseningizimu, eliyiJerusalema; umkhawulo wenyukela esiqongweni sentaba engaphambi kwesigodi sikaHinomu ngasentshonalanga ngasekugcineni kwesigodi samaRefa ngasenyakatho; 9umkhawulo wawususuka esiqongweni sentaba, waya emthonjeni wamanzi aseNefitowa, waphuma waya emizini yasentabeni yase-Efroni; umkhawulo wasuka waya eBahala eliyiKiriyati Jeharimi; 10umkhawulo wajika usuka eBahala ngasentshonalanga, waya entabeni yaseSeyiri, wadlula waya eceleni kwentaba yaseJeharimi ngasenyakatho, eliyiKesaloni, wehlela eBeti Shemeshi, wadlula ngaseThimna; 11umkhawulo wawusuphuma, waya eceleni kwe-Ekroni ngasenyakatho; umkhawulo wasuka waya eShikeroni, wadlula waya entabeni yaseBahala, waphuma eJabineyeli; ukuphuma komkhawulo kwakuselwandle.
12Umkhawulo wasentshonalanga wawuluLwandle Olukhulu nogu lwalo. Lokho kungumkhawulo wabantwana bakwaJuda nxazonke ngemindeni yabo.
13 Wamnika uKalebi indodana kaJefune isabelo phakathi kwabantwana bakwaJuda njengesiyalezo sikaJehova kuJoshuwa, umuzi ka-Araba uyise ka-Anaki, oyiHebroni. 14 UKalebi waxosha khona amadodana amathathu ka-Anaki, oSheshayi, no-Ahimani, noTalimayi, abantwana bakwa-Anaki. 15Wasuka lapho, wenyukela kwabakhileyo eDebiri; igama leDebiri laliyiKiriyati Seferi kuqala. 16UKalebi wathi: “Onqoba iKiriyati Seferi, alithathe, yena ngiyakumnika u-Akisa indodakazi yami abe ngumkakhe.” 17 U-Otheniyeli indodana kaKenazi umfowabo kaKalebi walithatha; wayesemnika u-Akisa indodakazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe. 18Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: “Ukhala ngani?”
19Wathi: “Ngiphe isipho; lokhu unginike izwe laseningizimu, ngiphe nemithombo yamanzi.” Wamupha imithombo yasenhla nemithombo yasenzansi.
