UYOSHUWA 10

UYoshuwa uthimba ummandla ongezantsi wama-Amori

28Kwangaloo mini uYoshuwa wahlasela iMakeda, wayithimba kwakunye nekumkani valapho. Kwabulawa wonke ubani kweso sixeko, akwasala namnye. Kwikumkani yaseMakeda wenza kwalaa nto wayeyenze kukumkani waseJeriko.

29Ukusuka kwabo eMakeda uYoshuwa nawo onke amaSirayeli badlulela eLibhena, nayo bayihlasela. 30Nalapho *uNdikhoyo wasinikela isixeko nokumkani waso ezandleni zamaSirayeli. Abulala wonke ubani apho, akashiya mntu. Nalapho kukumkani uYoshuwa wenza eso saseJeriko.

31Basuka eLibhena ooYoshuwa, baya eLakishe, bayingqinga, bayihlasela. 32UNdikhoyo wayinikezela iLakishe ezandleni zamaSirayeli, waza uYoshuwa wangena kuyo ngosuku lwesibini. Isixeko nabo bonke abakuso wasitshabalalisa njengoko wênjenjalo eLibhena. 33Kweza ukumkani uHoram waseGezere, ezokunceda amaLakishe, wachithwa kunye nomkhosi wakhe, babulawa bonke, akwasala nempunde le.

34UYoshuwa nomkhosi wakhe basuka eLakishe baya e-Eglon, bafika bayingqinga, bayihlasela. 35Bayoyisa kwangaloo mini, babulala wonke umntu apho, baxelisa eLakishe.

36UYoshuwa namaSirayeli onke bemka eLakishe, baya eHebron, bafika bayihlasela 37bayoyisa kwangaloo mini. Babulala ukumkani walapho, nabantu bonke beso sixeko, kwakunye nabeelali ezimelene naso. Wathi masitshatyalaliswe eso sixeko uYoshuwa, kanye njenge-Eglon. Akuzange kusinde mntu apho.

38Baphethuka apho, babheka eDebhiri. Bafika bayihlasela, 39bayoyisa, kunye nokumkani wayo, neelali ezimelene nayo. Kwatshatyalaliswa ukumkani naye wonke umntu owayelapho, akwasala namnye. Nalapho wenza kwaesaseLibhena nesaseHebron.

40UYoshuwa wabatshabalalisa bonke abemi belo zwe. Abantu ababemi kweleentaba, emathambekeni ngasempumalanga, kumazants' eentaba zasentshona, kwakunye nabo babemi kwimimandla yentlango ngasemazantsi, neekumkani zabo bonke. Wayethatha phambi konyawo atshayele yonke into ephefumlayo, ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli. 41Waloyisa ukusukela eKadeshe-bhaneya emazantsi, kuse eGaza ngaselwandle, nawo wonke ummandla waseGeshon, kuse eGibheyon emantla. 42Le mimandla yonke uYoshuwa wayoyisa ephume umkhosi isihlandlo sasinye, kuba kaloku wayesilwelwa nguNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli. 43Babuyela kwasesikhululweni eGiligali ooYoshuwa nomkhosi wakhe.

UYOSHUWA 11

Ukuchithwa komkhosi kaJabhin namakholane akhe

1Ukumkani uJabhin waseHazore uthe akuva ngeziqwenga ezazisenziwa ngamaSirayeli, wathumela isigidimi kukumkani uJobhabhi waseMadon nakwiikumkani zaseShimron naseAkeshafi, 2nakwiikumkani ezazikweleentaba emantla, eJordan kwintili esemzantsi woLwandle lwaseGalili, emazantsi eentaba, nakunxweme lwangaseDore. 3Wasithumela nakumaKanana aphahle iJordan, kuma-Amori, kumaHeti, kumaPerezi, nakumaJebhusi kweleenduli, kwanakumaHivi awayemi phantsi kwentaba iHermon kummandla waseMizpa. 4Ezo kumkani zeza nemikhosi yazo yonke, inyambalala yamajoni esith' ilanga, ekwanjalo namahashe neenqwelo ubuninzi. 5Zahlanganisa imikhosi yazo ezo kumkani, zaya kugxumeka iintente ngakumlanjana iMerom, zilungele ukulwa namaSirayeli.

6*UNdikhoyo wathi kuYoshuwa: “Uzungaboyiki wena. Ngeli xesha ngomso ndoba sendiwancedile amaSirayeli ukubabulala bonke. Kufuneka amahashe abo niwatshece imisipha, nezo nqwelo zabo nizintumeke umlilo.” 7Nanko ke uYoshuwa nomkhosi wakhe wonke eyiqubula loo mikhosi ngakuloo mlanjana iMerom. 8Wayinikela ezandleni zabo loo mikhosi uNdikhoyo, bayoyisa, bayisukela ukuya kutsho emantla eMisefoti-mayim naseSidon enkulu, kwaya kutsho entshonalanga kuloo ntili yaseMizpa. Babatyakatya kwada akwabikho namnye useleyo. 9Ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo uYoshuwa wawatsheca imisipha loo mahashe abo, watshisa nezo nqwelo zabo.

10Wajika apho uYoshuwa, waya kuthimba iHazore, wayibulala nekumkani yalapho. (Ngaloo mihla iHazore yayisesona sikumkani siyinjinga kwezo zalapho.) 11Kwabulawa wonke umntu apho, akwasinda namnye, neso sixeko satshatyalaliswa ngomlilo.

12Wazithimba zonke ezo zixeko ezinookumkani uYoshuwa, ebulala wonke umntu kwanokumkani, kanye njengoko wayeyalelwe nguMosis isicaka sikaNdikhoyo. 13Kambe ke akazange azitshise amaSirayeli izixeko ezazakhiwe ezindulini; yaba yiHazore yodwa awathi uYoshuwa mayitshiswe. 14AmaSirayeli emka nawo amaxhoba nemfuyo yezo zixeko. Ababulala bonke abantu, akashiya namnye. 15Kaloku uNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis, waza uMosis yena wayigqithisela kuYoshuwa loo miyalelo, ke yena uYoshuwa wayithobela. Wenza konke okwayalelwa nguNdikhoyo kuMosis.

Ummandla owathinjwa nguYoshuwa

16UYoshuwa wawuthimba wonke loo mhlaba: eleenduli, amazantsi eentaba ngasemantla nangasemazantsi, wonke ummandla waseGoshen, nentlango esezantsi, kwakunye naloo ntili yeJordan. 17-18Lo mmandla usuka kwintaba iHalaki ngase-Edom ezantsi, wenjenjeya ukuya kutsho eBhali-gadi emantla kuloo ntili yeLebhanon ngaphantsi kwentaba iHermon. UYoshuwa walwa ithuba elide neekumkani zalapha, kodwa ekugqibeleni wazoyisa, wazibulala. 19YiGibheyon qha isixeko esanqophisana namaSirayeli. Kulapho ayehlala khona amaHivi. Zonke ezinye izixeko zoyiswa edabini. 20*UNdikhoyo wazinika isibindi sokulwa namaSirayeli, khon' ukuze zitshatyalaliswe ziphele tu kungekho lusizi. Yayingumyalelo kaNdikhoyo lowo kuMosis.

21Ngelo xesha uYoshuwa waya kutshabalalisa ama-Anaki ahlala kweleenduli eHebron, eDebhiri, eAnabhi, nakuzo zonke iinduli zakwaJuda nakwaSirayeli. Wawatshabalalisa kunye nezixeko zawo zonke uYoshuwa. 22KwaSirayeli akuzange kusinde namnye umntu wesizwe sama-Anaki. Babekho kambe abasindayo eGaza, eGati, naseAshdode.

23Wawuthimba wonke loo mhlaba uYoshuwa ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis. Wawunika amaSirayeli ukuba bawume, libe lilifa lawo, khon' ukuze isizwe ngasinye sifumane indawo yaso.

Kwabakho uxolo elizweni.

UYOSHUWA 12

Iikumkani ezoyiswa nguMosis

1AmaSirayeli ayesele oyisa awuthimba nomhlaba ongasempumalanga yeJordan, ukususa kuloo ngingqi yeAnon, kunyuse loo ntili yeJordan, kuye kutsho kwintaba iHermon. 2Owokuqala ukumkani owoyiswayo yaba nguSihon umAmori owayelawula ummandla waseHeshbhon. Icala leGiliyadi laliphantsi kwakhe, ukususela eArure (engakumlambo iAnon) nasembindini wengingqi leyo, ukwenjenjeya ukusa eJabhoko (engumda welama-Amon). 3Intili yeJordan ukususela kuLwandle lwaseGalili nayo yayikwalapho, ukusa ezantsi eBhete-yeshimoti (engasempumalanga yoLwandle oluFileyo) kwenjenjeya kuse emazantsi entaba iPisga.

4Woyiswa naye ukumkani uOgi waseBhashan owayengowokugqibela kumaRafa. Wayephethe iAshtaroti kunye ne-Edreyi. 5Intaba iHermon, iSaleka, kunye nayo yonke iBhashan, kuse kwimida yeGeshuri neMahaka, necala leGiliyadi, kuye kutsho kummandla kakumkani uSihon waseHeshbhon, nazo zazikwalawulwa yile kumkani.

6Ezi kumkani zombini zoyiswa nguMosis namaSirayeli. Umhlaba wazo uMosis isicaka *sikaNdikhoyo wawunika isizwe sakwaRubhen nesakwaGadi nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase.

Iikumkani ezoyiswa nguYoshuwa

7UYoshuwa kunye namaSirayeli bazoyisa iikumkani ezazimi kummandla ongasentshonalanga yeJordan, ukusuka eBhali-gadi kwintili vaseLebhanon kuse kwintaba iHalaki ezantsi kufuphi neSeyire. Wawohlulela izizwe zakwaSirayeli lo mmandla uYoshuwa, ukuba ziwume.

8Nazi iziphaluka zalo mmandla: eleenduli, amazantsi eentaba zasentshona, intili yeJordan namazantsi eentaba zayo, iingingqi zangasempuma, kunye nentlango engasezantsi. Lo mmandla yayingumhlaba wamaHiti, ama-Amori, amaKanana, amaPerezi, amaHivi, namaJebhusi. 9AmaSirayeli oyisa iikumkani zezixeko iJeriko, iAyi (ngaseBhetele), 10iJerusalem, iHebron, 11iYarmuti, iLakishe, 12iEglon, iGezere, 13iDebhiri, iGedere, 14iHoma, iAradi, 15iLibhena, iAdulam, 16iMakeda, iBhetele, 17iTapuwa, iHefere, 18iAfeki, iLasharon, 19iMadon, iHazore, 20iShimron-meron, iAkeshafi, 21iTanaki, iMegido, 22iKedeshe, iYokeneham (eKarmele), 23iDore (elunxwemeni), iGoyim (eGiligali), 24kunye neTirza. Yayingamashumi mathathu ezikumkani zizonke.

UYOSHUWA 13

Umhlaba osamelwe kukuthinjwa

1Mhlenikweni uYoshuwa wayeselaluphele kakhulu, *uNdikhoyo wathi kuye: “Sewumdala kakhulu ngoku, Yoshuwa, ukanti umhlaba ekusafuneka uthinjwe usemkhulu. 2-3Yiyo le imimandla esaseleyo:

    ummandla wamaFilistiya (akumkani zawo zihlala eGaza naseAshdode, eAshkelon, eGati, nase-Ekron);
    ummandla wamaGeshure (ekudla ngokuthiwa ngowamaKanana, usuka ngakwintlambo iShihore ngakwimida yeJiputa, kuse emantla kwimida yase-Ekron);
    ummandla wama-Avi;
    4ummandla wamaKanana ongasezantsi kwakunye neMeyara (engumhlaba wamaSidon), kuse eAfeka ngakwimida yama-Amori;
    5elamaGebhali kunye neLebhanon iphela ukubheka ngasentshona ukususela eBhali-gadi esemzantsi wentaba iHermon, kuse kuloo nkalo yeHamati;
    6-7wonke ummandla wamaSidon ahlala kweleentaba phakathi kweentaba zaseLebhanon neMisefoti-mayim.

“Bonke abemi balapho ndobakhupha apho ukufika kwamaSirayeli. Loo mhlaba uzuwabele amaSirayeli kanye ngalaa ndlela bendikuxelele yona, ube lilifa lezizwe ezilithoba kunye nesiqingatha sakwaManase.

Ukwabiwa komhlaba ongasempumalanga kweJordan

8Isizwe sakwaRubhen nesakwaGadi kwakunye nesinye isiqingatha sakwaManase zona zaziseziwabelwe umhlaba wazo nguMosis isicaka *sikaNdikhoyo. Loo mhlaba wawungasempumalanga kweJordan. 9Wawuye kuthi xhaxhe eArure ummandla wabo, phezu kwentili iAnoni, nakwisixeko esasikuloo ntili, uthathe onke loo mathafa aseMedebha ukusa eDibhon. 10Wenjenjeya ukusa kwimida yaseAmon, waquka zonke ezo zixeko zaziphantsi kwekumkani yama-Amori uSihon owayephethe eHeshbhon. 11Lo mmandla wawuquka iGiliyadi, utyhutyhe imimandla yaseGeshure naseMahaka, uthathe yonke intaba iHermon nayo yonke iBhashan ukuya kutsho eSaleka. 12Ukwalapho nomhlaba kaOgi owaba yikumkani yokugqibela kumaRafa, owayephethe iAshtaroti ne-Edreyi. Ezi ntlanga zonke zoyiswa nguMosis, wawuthimba umhlaba wazo. 13Kambe ke amaSirayeli wona akazange abagxotha abantu baseGeshure naseMahaka; basahlala kunye namaSirayeli unangoku.

14UMosis akazange ababele mhlaba abaLevi. Bona esabo isabelo, ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis, yinxaxheba bayifumana kumadini atshiswayo enzelwa uNdikhoyo, uThixo kaSirayeli.

Umhlaba owabelwa uRubhen

15Nguwo lo umhlaba uMosis owawabela isizwe sakwaRubhen ngokwemizi yaso ube lilifa laso: 16ummandla waso wawuye kuthi xhaxhe ngeArure phezu kwentili iAnoni, udibanise nesixeko esisembindini waloo ntili, kunye naloo mathafa ajikeleze iMedebha, 17uthathe iHeshbhon kunye nezo zixeko zikuloo mathafa: iDibhon, iBhamoti-bhali, iBhete-bhali-mehon, 18iYaza, iKedemoti, iMefati, 19iKiriyatayim, iSibhema, kunye neZereti-shahare eyayisendulini kuloo ntili, 20iBhete-pehore, amathambeka aloo ntaba iPisga, kunye neBhete-yeshimoti. 21Wawucanda kwezo dolophu zikuloo mathafa, uwuthathe wonke umhlaba wekumkani yama-Amori uSihon, owayephethe eHeshbhon. UMosis wayoyisa le kumkani ndawonye nezilawuli zaseMidiyan: uEvi, uRekem, uZure, noYuri, kunye noRebha. La madoda ayezizibonda ezaziphantsi kokumkani uSihon. 22Phakathi kwabantu ababulawa ngamaSirayeli kwafa noBhalam unyana kaBhehore owayengusiyazi. 23Umlambo iJordan yayingumda wangasentshonalanga wesizwe sakwaRubhen. Zizo ke ezo izixeko needolophu ezabelwa imizi yesizwe sakwaRubhen zaba lilifa lazo.

Ummandla owabelwa uGadi

24Nguwo lo umhlaba uMosis owawabela isizwe sakwaGadi ngokwemizi yaso ube lilifa laso: 25ummandla waso uthathela eJazere udibanise zonke izixeko zaseGiliyadi, udibanise nesiqingatha sommandla wama-Amon, kuye kuthi xhaxhe ngeArure ekhangelene neRabha. 26Wawusuka eHeshbhon use eRamati-mizepe naseBhetonim, usuke eMahanayim use kwimida yeDebhiri. 27Kwintili yeJordan wawuthatha iBhete-haram, iBhete-nimra, iSukoti, kunye neZafon, nawo wonke ummandla kakumkani uSihon waseHeshbhon. Umda wabo ngasentshona yayingumlambo iJordan kuse emantla kuLwandle lwaseGalili. 28Ezi zixeko needolophu zaba lilifa lezindlu zesizwe sakwaGadi.

Ummandla owabelwa uManase

29Nguwo lo umhlaba uMosis owawabela isiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase ngokwemizi yaso ube lilifa laso: 30ummandla waso waya kuthi xhaxhe ngeMahanayim, wadibanisa neBhashan – wonke ummandla kakumkani uOgi waseBhashan, kunye nazo zonke ezo lali zimashumi mathandathu zaseJayire eBhashan. 31Uthatha isiqingatha seGiliyadi, udibanise iAshtaroti ne-Edreyi, iidolophu ezazingamaziko olawulo zelizwe likakumkani uOgi waseBhashan. Wonke lo mmandla wabelwa isiqingatha semizi eyinzala kaMakire unyana kaManase.

32Wenjenjalo ke uMosis ukwaba umhlaba ongasempumalanga kweJeriko neJordan kuloo mathafa akwaMowabi. 33Kodwa ke uMosis akazange ababele mhlaba bona abaLevi. Elabo ilifa nguNdikhoyo uThixo wamaSirayeli ngokwesithembiso sakhe.
