UJoshuwa Ugunyazwa Ukuhola Abakwa-Israyeli
1UMose waya wakhuluma lawa mazwi kubo bonke abakwa-Israyeli, 2 wathi kubo: “Namuhla ngineminyaka eyi-120 angisakwazi kuphuma nakungena; uSimakade uthe kimi: ‘Awuyukuliwela leli Jordani.’ 3 Kepha uSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuwela phambi kwakho, abhubhise lezi zizwe ubuka, uzidle; uJoshuwa uyowela phambi kwakho njengalokhu uSimakade eshilo. 4 USimakade uyokwenza kuzo njengalokhu enza kuSihoni no-Ogi, amakhosi ama-Amori awabhubhisayo, kanjalo nasezweni lawo. 5 USimakade uyozinikela kini, nenze kuzo ngokwemiyalo yonke enginiyale ngayo. 6 Qinani, nime isibindi, ningesabi, ningashaywa luvalo ngabo, ngokuba uSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho nguyena ohamba nawe; akayukukulahla, akayukukushiya.”
7 UMose wambiza uJoshuwa, bebuka bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli, wathi kuye: “Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba uyakuhamba nalaba bantu uye ezweni uSimakade afunga kokhokho babo ukubanika lona. Nguwena oyakwenza ukuba balidle ifa lalo. 8 USimakade nguye ohamba phambi kwakho; uyakuba nawe; akayukukulahla, akushiye; ungesabi, ungashaywa luvalo.”
9 UMose waloba lo mthetho, wawunika abaphristi, amadodana kaLevi ayethwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaSimakade, nawo wonke amalunga akwa-Israyeli. 10 UMose wawayala wathi: “Ekupheleni konyaka wesikhombisa, njalo ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo sonyaka woyekelelo ngomkhosi wamadokodo, 11 lapho wonke u-Israyeli eze ukubonakala phambi kukaSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni Yena ayoyikhetha, uyofunda lo mthetho phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke elalele. 12 Qoqa abantu: abesilisa, abesifazane, abantwana, nomfokazi osemzini wakho ukuze bezwe, bafunde, bamesabe uSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho, baqikelele ukwenza wonke amazwi alo mthetho, 13nokuthi abantwana babo abangawaziyo bawuzwe, bafunde ukumesaba uSimakade uNkulunkulu wenu ngazo zonke izinsuku nihleli ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuba nilidle.”
14 USimakade wathi kuMose: “Bheka, izinsuku zakho zokuba ufe sezisondele, biza uJoshuwa, ningene ethendeni lokuhlangana ukuze ngimyale.”
UMose noJoshuwa bahamba, bema ethendeni lokuhlangana.
15 USimakade wabonakala ethendeni esensikeni yefu, insika yefu yema ngasemnyango wethende. 16 USimakade wathi kuMose: “Bheka, usuzoyolala noyihlomkhulu; laba bantu bayakusuka, bayophinga nonkulunkulu babezizwe abasezweni abaya kulo ukuba bahlale phakathi kwabo, bayakungishiya, basaphule isivumelwano engisenze nabo. 17 Intukuthelo yami iyakubavuthela ngalolo lusuku, ngiyakubashiya, ngibafulathele; bayakudliwa, behlelwe yizinhlekelele nezinhlupheko eziningi, baze bathi ngalolo lusuku: ‘Lezi zinhlupheko azisehlelanga yini ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu engekho phakathi kwethu na?’ 18Mina ngiyobafulathela impela ngalolo lusuku ngenxa yabo bonke ububi ababenzileyo, lokhu bephendukele kwabanye onkulunkulu.
19 “Ngalokho, zilobeleni leli hubo, nilifundise abantu bakwa-Israyeli, libekeni emilonyeni yabo ukuze leli culo libe kimi ngubufakazi kubantu bakwa-Israyeli. 20 Ngokuba lapho sengibangenisile ezweni engafunga kokhokho babo, izwe elichichima ubisi noju, bayodla, basuthe, bakhuluphale, bese bephendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonze, bangedelele, basephule isivumelwano sami. 21 Kuyothi lapho sebehlelwe yizinhlekelele nezinhlupheko eziningi, leli hubo liyoba ngufakazi omelene nabo, ngokuba aliyukukhohlakala emilonyeni yozalo lwabo, lokhu ngiyayazi imicabango yabo abayicabangayo namhlanje, ngaphambi kokuba ngibangenise ezweni engafunga ngalo kubo.”
22 UMose waliloba lelo hubo ngalolo lusuku, wabafundisa lona abantu bakwa-Israyeli.
23 Wamgunyaza uJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni, wathi: “Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba nguwe ozongenisa abantu bakwa-Israyeli ezweni engafunga ngalo kubo; Mina ngizokuba nawe.”
24Kwathi lapho uMose eseqedile ukuloba wonke amazwi alo mthetho encwadini, 25uMose wayeseyala abaLevi abathwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaSimakade, wathi: 26 “Thathani le ncwadi yomthetho, niyibeke ngaseceleni komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaSimakade uNkulunkulu wenu, ihlale khona, ibe ngubufakazi, imelane nani. 27 Mina ngiyakwazi ukuhlubuka kwakho nokuba nguntamo lukhuni kwakho. Bheka nje, ngisekhona nani namuhla seniyamhlubuka uSimakade; pho kuyoba kukhulu kangakanani sengifile, na? 28 Ngiqoqele wonke amalunga ezizwaneni zenu nezinduna zenu ukuze ngikhulume kuwo lawa mazwi, elalele, ngibiza izulu nomhlaba kube ngufakazi. 29Ngiyazi ukuthi uma sengifile niyokona nokona, niphambuke endleleni enginiyale ngayo. Ngezinsuku ezizayo niyokwehlelwa ngububi, ngokuba niyokwenza okubi emehlweni kaSimakade, nimthukuthelise ngemisebenzi yezandla zenu.”
30UMose wakhuluma wonke amazwi ehubo ibandla lonke lakwa-Israyeli lilalele.
