U-Efrayimi uyise walila izinsuku eziningi; abafowabo beza ukumduduza.

EJerusalema kwahlala kubantwana bakwaJuda , nakubantwana bakwaBenjamini, nakubantwana bakwa-Efrayimi noManase:

Abantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli ababecashile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilisti abaleka, nabo bawaxosha ekulweni.

Kwakukhona umuntu waseRamatayimi Sofimu lasezintabeni zakwa- Efrayimi ogama lakhe lalingu-Elkana indodana kaJerohamu ka-Elihu kaTholu kaSufi wakwa-Efrayimi;

Wadabula izintaba zakwa -Efrayimi, wadabula izwe laseShalisha , kepha abazifumananga; base bedabula izwe laseShahalimi, nalapho zazingekho ; wadabula izwe labakwaBenjamini, kepha kabazifumana.

UJehowashi, inkosi yakwa -Israyeli, wambamba u -Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda, indodana kaJehowashi , ka-Ahaziya, eBeti Shemeshi , wafika eJerusalema, wadiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema, kusukela eSangweni lakwa - Efrayimi kuze kube seSangweni laseGumbini, izingalo ezingamakhulu amane.

Wathi: Sisahlezi kahle . Inkosi yami ingithumile ngokuthi : Bheka, manje kufike kimi izinsizwa ezimbili zamadodana abaprofethi zivela ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi; ake uzinike italenta lesiliva nezingubo ezimbili zokuphendulela.

U-Abiya wema entabeni yaseS emarayimi esezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, wathi: Ngizweni wena Jerobowamu no-Israyeli wonke:

Lapho u -Asa esezwa lawo mazwi nesiprofetho sika -Azariya ka -Odedi umprofethi, waziqinisa isibindi , wasusa izinengiso ezweni lonke lakwaJuda noBenjamini, nasemizini ayeyithathile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, walivusa i- altare likaJehova elaliphambi kompheme kaJehova.

Wabutha wonke uJuda noBenjamini nabagogobele kubo bevela kwa - Efrayimi, nakwaManase, nakwaSimeyoni, ngokuba abaningi bahlubukela kuye bevela kwa-Israyeli, lapho bebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe unaye.

Wabeka amabutho emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , wabeka amakhanda ezweni la kwaJuda, nasemizini yakwa -Efrayimi u -Asa uyise ayithathileyo.

U-Amasiya wayeseyahlukanisa impi ebifike kuye ivela kwa -Efrayimi ukuba iye ekhaya ; ngalokho ulaka lwabo lwavuthela kakhulu uJuda , babuyela ekhaya bevutha ulaka.

Kepha kwafika kuye umuntu kaNkulunkulu , wathi: Nkosi, impi yakwa - Israyeli mayingahambi nawe , ngokuba uJehova akasenaye u -Israyeli nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi,

Kwase kusukuma abezinhloko zabantwana bakwa -Efrayimi, u-Azariya indodana kaJohanani , noBerekiya indodana kaMeshilemoti , noJehizikiya indodana kaShalumi, no-Amasa indodana kaHadilayi, bamelana nabaphuma empini,

UHezekiya wathumela kuye wonke u -Israyeli noJuda, walobela o-Efrayimi noManase izincwadi ukuba beze endlini kaJehova eJerusalema , bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli iphasika.

Izigijimi zazilokhu zidlula emizini ngemizi ezweni lakwa -Efrayimi nelakwaManase kwaze kwaba kwaZebuloni ; kepha bazihleka usulu , baziklolodela.

Ngokuba isixuku sabantu , abaningi bakwa-Efrayimi nakwaManase nakwa- Isakare nakwaZebuloni , sasingazihlambululanga, salidla iphasika ngokungalotshiwe. Ngokuba uHezekiya wayebakhulekele ngokuthi : UJehova omuhle makathethelele

Sekuphelile konke lokho , u-Israyeli wonke owayekhona wap huma waya emizini yakwaJuda, waphula izinsika, wagawula o-Ashera, wadiliza izindawo eziphakemeyo nama -altare kwaJuda wonke , nakwaBenjamini, nakwa- Efrayimi, nakwaManase, waze waqeda konke . Base bebuyel a bonke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, kwaba yilowo nalowo ef eni lakhe , emizini yakubo.

Emizini y akwaManase, nakwa-Efrayimi, nakwaSimeyoni kwaze kwaba nakwaNafetali wacinga ezindlini zabo nxazonke.

Bafika kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu , bayinikeza imali eyayilethwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iqoqwe ngamaLevi, abalindisango, esandleni sakwaManase no- Efrayimi, nakuyo yonke insali yakwa -Israyeli, nakuye wonke uJuda noBenjamini, nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema;

Kwathi emva kweminyaka emibili epheleleyo u -Abisalomu wayenabagundi bezimvu eBali Hasori eliseduze no -Efrayimi; u-Abisalomu wamema onke amadodana enkosi.

Base bephumela endle ukulwa no -Israyeli, kwaliwa ehlathini lakwa - Efrayimi.

Akunjalo, kepha umuntu wasezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, nguSheba indodana kaBikri igama lakhe , uphakamisele isandla sakhe ngasenkos ini, kuDavide; nginikeni yena kuphela , khona ngiyakusuka emzini . Wayesethi owesifazane kuJowabe : Bheka, ikhanda lakhe liyakuphonswa kuwe ngaphandle kogange.

wambeka inkosi kwaGileyadi , nakuma-Ashurimi, naseJizreyeli, nakwa- Efrayimi noBenjamini, nakwa-Israyeli wonke.

Emva kuka-Abimeleki kwavela uThola indodana kaPhuwa kaDodo , umuntu wakwa-Isakare, ukuba asindise u -Israyeli; wayehlala eShamiri ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi.

Abantwana bakwa-Amoni bawela iJordani ukuba balwe noJuda noBenjamini nendlu yakwa-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wantula kakhulu.

Amadoda akwa -Efrayimi abuthana , aya ngasenyakatho ; athi kuJefta : Uwelelani ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe, na? Siyakushisa ngomlilo indlu yakho phezu kwakho.

U-Abidoni indodana kaHileli wasePir athoni wafa , wembelwa ePirathoni ezweni lakwa-Efrayimi ezintabeni zama-Amaleki.

UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi , walwa no -Efrayimi; abantu b akwaGileyadi bamahlula u -Efrayimi, ngokuba bathi : Ningababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi nina bakwaGileyadi phakathi kwabakwa - Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.

AbakwaGileyadi bavimba amazibuko aseJordani phambi kwabakwa - Efrayimi; kwathi lapho ababalekileyo ba kwa-Efrayimi bethi : Mangiwele, abantu bakwaGileyadi bathi kuye: Ungowakwa-Efrayimi na? Uma ethi: Cha,

bathi kuye : Shono uthi : S hiboleti, abesethi: Siboleti, ngokuba engaqaphelanga ukuliphimisa kahle ; base bembamba , bambulala ngasemazibukweni aseJordani ; kwawa ngaleso sikhathi abakwa -Efrayimi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nambili. Ukufa kukaJefta

Kwakukhona umuntu wasezintabeni zak wa-Efrayimi ogama lakhe lalinguMika.

Lowo muntu wamuka emzini, iBetlehema Juda, ukuyobona lapho engathola khona indawo ; ekuhambeni kwakhe wafika ezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi endlini kaMika.

Basuka khona, baya ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, bafika endlini kaMika.

Abantwana bakwaDani bathuma abantu abayisihlanu bomn deni wabo , bephuma kuso sonke isizwe sabo , amaqhawe, beseSora nase -Eshitawoli, ukuba bahlole izwe , balicinge; bathi kubo: Hambani, nilicinge izwe, bafika ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi endlini kaMika, bahlala khona.

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kungekho inkosi kwa-Israyeli, kwakukhona umLevi othile owayegogobele ohlangothini olungasemuva kwezintaba zakwa - Efrayimi, owazithathela isancinza eBetlehema Juda.

Bheka, kwafika ixhegu livela emsebenzini walo ensimini kusihlwa ; lalingumuntu wasezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, lagogobala eGibeya ; kepha abantu baleyo ndawo babe ngabakwaBenjamini.

Wathi kulo : Siyadlula sivela eBetlehema Juda , siya ohlangothini olungasemuva kwezintaba zakwa-Efrayimi; ngivela khona; ngaya eBetlehema Juda; sengiya endlini kaJehova , kepha akukho muntu ongamukela en dlini yakhe.

Naye u -Efrayimi akaxoshanga amaKhanani ayakhe eGezeri ; kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kwabo eGezeri.

Bammbela emkhawulweni wefa lakhe eThimnati Heresi ezintabeni zakwa- Efrayimi ngasenyakatho kwentaba yakwaGahashi.

Kwathi esefikile , wabetha icilongo ezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli behla naye ezintabeni, yena ephambi kwabo.

Wayehlala phansi kwesundu likaDebora phakathi kweRama neBethele ezintabeni zakwa -Efrayimi; abantwana bakwa -Israyeli bakhuphukela kuye ukuba bahlulelwe.

Kwavela kwa -Efrayimi abampande yabo ikuma -Amaleki; emva kwakho nguBenjamini phakathi kwabantu bakho . KwaMakiri kwavela ababusi , kwaZebuloni abaphethe intonga yomholi.

UGideyoni wayesethuma izithunywa ezintabeni zonke zakwa -Efrayimi, wathi: Yehlani, nihlangabezane nabakwaMidiyani, nibavimbe emanzini kuze kube seBetha Bara naseJordani. Onke amadoda akwa-Efrayimi ayesebuthana, abavimbela emanzini kwaze kwaba seBetha Bara naseJordani.

Abantu bakwa -Efrayimi bathi kuye : Ukwenzeleni lokhu kithina ukuth i awusibizanga lapho uyakulwa nabakwaMidiyani na? Bamkhankatha kakhulu.

Wathi kubo: Ngenzeni mina, uma kulinganiswa nokwenu na ? Ukukhothoza kwabakwa-Efrayimi akukuhle yini kunokuvuna umvini kwama-Abiyezeri na?

Ngowami uGileyadi , ngowami uManase ; u-Efrayimi uyisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yokubusa.

Ngowami uGileyadi , ngowami uManase ; u-Efrayimi uyisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yokubusa.

Yalahla indlu kaJosefa, ayikhethanga isizwe sakwa-Efrayimi.

Abantu bakwa -Efrayimi, sebehlomile bephethe iminsalo , babuyela emuva ngosuku lokulwa.

Vusa amandla akho phambi kuka -Efrayimi noBenjamini noManase , uze ukusisindisa.

Ngakho uJesu kabuyange esahamba obala phakathi kwabaJuda , kepha wamuka lapho , waya ezweni eliseduze nehlane emzini othiwa i -Efrayimi; wahlala khona nabafundi bakhe.

Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uyakusuka, nabacindezela uJuda bayakunqunywa; u- Efrayimi akayikuba namhawu ngoJuda, noJuda kayikucindezela u-Efrayimi.

Inqaba iyakuphela kwa -Efrayimi, nombuso eDamaseku , nensali e -Aramu, kube njengodumo lwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, usho uJehova Sebawoti.

Wo kuwo umqhele wokuziphakamis a wezidakwa zakwa -Efrayimi, nakuyo imbali ebunayo yobuhle bakhe obukhazimulayo , esenhloko yesigodi esivundileyo sabanqotshwe yiwayini.

Umqhele wokuziphakamisa wezidakwa zakwa-Efrayimi uyakunyathelwa ngezinyawo,

UJehova uyakuletha phezu kwakho , naphezu kwabantu bakho , naphezu kwendlu kayihlo izinsuku ezingafikanga kusukela osukwini u -Efrayimi asuka ngalo kwaJuda -- yinkosi yase-Asiriya.

Kwatshelwa indlu kaDavide ukuthi : I-Aramu limise kwa -Efrayimi. Yayisiqhaqhazela inhliziyo yakhe nenhliziyo yabantu bakhe njengemithi yasehlathini ithuthumela ngomoya.

Ngokuba i-Aramu no-Efrayimi nendodana kaRemaliya bacebile okubi ngawe, bathi:

Ngokuba inhloko yase -Aramu iyiDamaseku , nenhloko yeDamaseku inguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashum i ayisithupha nanhlan u u- Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabe esaba yisizwe.

Inhloko yakwa -Efrayimi iyiSamariya , inhloko yeSamariya iyindodana kaRemaliya. Uma ningakholwa, impela aniyikuma.

uManase u -Efrayimi, no-Efrayimi uManase, bobabili basukele kanyekanye uJuda; kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi , isandla sakh e siseluliwe.

Bonke abantu bayakwazi , u-Efrayimi nabakhe eSamariya , abasho ekuziphakamiseni kwabo nasekuziqhenyeni kwenhliziyo ukuthi:

Abaseningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa -Esawu, nabasehlanzeni ifa lamaFilisti, badle ifa lezwe lakwa -Efrayimi nezwe laseSamariya , uBenjamini adle iGileyadi.

Izibulo lenkunzi yakhe liludumo lwakhe , nezimpondo zenyathi ziyizimpondo zakhe ; uyakuqhubukusha ngazo izizwe zonke ekugcineni komhlaba; zinjalo izigidi zakwa -Efrayimi, zinjalo izinkulungwane zakwaManase.

noNafetali wonke , nezwe lakwa -Efrayimi, nelakwaManase, nezwe lonke lakwaJuda kwaze kwaba selwandle lwasentshonalanga,

Igama lo wesibili waliqamba ngokuthi u -Efrayimi, wathi: Ngokuba uNkulunkulu ungenze ngizale ezweni lokuhlupheka kwami.

KuJosefa kwazalelwa ezwe ni laseGibithe oManase no -Efrayimi, amzalela bona u-Asenati indodakazi kaPotifera umpristi wase-Oni.

Kwathi emva kwalezo zinto kwathiwa kuJosefa : Bheka, uyihlo uyagula . Wayesethatha amadodana akhe omabili, oManase no-Efrayimi.

UJosefa wayesebathatha bobabili , u-Efrayimi ngesokunene , engakwesokhohlo sika -Israyeli, noManase ngesokhohlo , engakwesokunene sika-Israyeli, wabasondeza kuye.

U-Israyeli wayeselula isandla sakhe sokunene , wasibeka ekhanda lika - Efrayimi, kanti ungomncane, nesokhohlo ekhanda likaManase , ephambanisa izandla zakhe, ngokuba uManase wayeyizibulo.

Wabona uJosefa ukuthi uyise wabeka isandla sakhe sokunene ekhanda lika- Efrayimi, kwaba kubi emehlweni akhe ; wasibamba isandla sikayise ukuba asisuse ekhanda lika-Efrayimi, asibeke ekhanda likaManase.

Wayesebabusisa ngalolo suku ngokuthi: Ngawe u-Israyeli uyakubusisa ethi: UNkulunkulu makakwenz e ube njengo-Efrayimi nanjengoManase . Wayesembeka-ke u-Efrayimi ngaphambi kukaManase.

Manje amadodana akho amabili owazalelwa wona ezweni laseGibithe , ngingakafiki kuwe eGibithe , angawami; o-Efrayimi noManase njengoRubeni noSimeyoni bazakuba ngabami.

UJosefa wabona abantwana bakwa -Efrayimi besizuk ulwane sesithathu ; nabantwana bakwaMakiri indodana kaManase bazalelwa emathangeni kaJosefa.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, zithathele induku, ulobe kuyo ngokuthi: EkaJuda neyabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangane bakhe . Thatha enye induku , ulobe kuyo ngokuthi: EkaJosefa, induku ka -Efrayimi neyendlu yonke yakwa - Israyeli, abangane bakhe,

khuluma kubo , uthi: Isho kan je iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyithatha induku kaJosefa esesandleni sika -Efrayimi nezizwe zakwa - Israyeli, abangane bakhe , ngiyibeke endukwini kaJuda , ngizenze zibe yinduku inye, babe munye esandleni sami.

Ngasemkhawulweni wakwaManase , kusukela ohlangothini lwasempumalanga kuze kube sohlangothini lwasentshonalanga , u-Efrayimi uyakuba nesabelo.

Ngasemkhawulweni wakwa -Efrayimi, kusukela ohlangothini lwasempumalanga kuze kube sohlangothini lwasentshonalanga , uRubeni uyakuba nesabelo.

U-Efrayimi uyisithole esifundisiweyo , esithanda ukubhula amabele ; kepha mina ngiyekile intamo yaso enhle ; sengiyakumbophela u -Efrayimi, uJuda alime, uJakobe azidubele.

Iyakuyiswa e -Asiriya ibe yisipho kuyo inkosi uJarebi ; u-Efrayimi uyakwamukela ihlazo, u-Israyeli ajabhe ngeziluleko zakhe.

U-Efrayimi ungizungezile ngamanga , nendlu yakwa -Israyeli ngenkohliso ; uJuda usazulazula kuNkulunkulu nakoNgcwele othembekileyo.

Nokho mina ngamcathulisa u -Efrayimi; ngabaphatha ngezingalo zami , kepha abazanga ukuthi ngabaphulukisa.

Ngingakunikela kanjani , Efrayimi, ngikukhaphele, Israyeli, na? Ngingakwenza kanjani ube njenge -Adima, ngikubeke ufane neSeboyimi , na? Inhliziyo iyaphenduka phakathi kwami, sonke isihawu sami sivusiwe.

Angiyikwenza ukufutheka kwentukuthelo yami , ngingabuyeli ukumchitha u-Efrayimi, ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu , angisiye umuntu ; ngingoNgcwele phakathi kwenu, angiyikufika ngolaka.

U-Efrayimi uyadla umoya , ulandela umoya wasempumalanga ; uyandisa imihla yonke amanga nencithakalo; benza isivumelwano ne -Asiriya, namafutha ayiswa eGibithe.

U-Efrayimi ucunulile ngokubabisayo ; icala lakhe legazi liyakuphonswa phezu kwakhe; iNkosi yakhe ibuyisele kuye ihlazo lakhe.

U-Efrayimi uthi: Impela ngicebile, ngithole imfuyo; kukho konke ukuzuza kwami abayikufumana bubi obuyisono.

Lapho u-Efrayimi ekhuluma , kwavela ukuthuthume la; wayephakeme kwa - Israyeli, kepha wazitholela icala ngoBali, wafa.

Ububi buka-Efrayimi buboshiwe, isono sakhe sibekelelwe.

Efrayimi, ngisenendabani nezithombe na ? Mina ngiyakumphendula , ngimbheke; nginjengomsayipuresi oluhlaza , kimina izithelo zakho ziyafunyanwa.

U-Efrayimi uhlangene nezithombe; myeke.

U-Efrayimi ucindezelekile, uchotshoziwe ekwahlulelweni, ngokuba wavuma ukulandela umyalo oyize.

Mina-ke senginjengenundu ku -Efrayimi, nanjengokubola kuyo indlu yakwaJuda.

Lapho u -Efrayimi abona isifo sakh e noJuda isilonda sakhe , u-Efrayimi waya e -Asiriya, wathumela enkosi ni uJarebi ; kepha ingeniphulukise , ayinakusipholisa isilonda senu.

Ngokuba ngiyakuba njengengonyama ku -Efrayimi, nebhongo lengonyama kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ; mina yebo , mina ngiyakudwengula , besengimuka; ngiyakususa, kungekho owophulayo.

Ngiyamazi mina u-Efrayimi, u-Israyeli akafihlekile kimi , ngokuba manje , Efrayimi, ufebile, u-Israyeli uzingcolisile.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe ; o-Israyeli no -Efrayimi bayakukhubeka ngobubi babo; naye uJuda uyakukhubeka kanye nabo.

U-Efrayimi uyakuba yincithakalo ngosuku lokujeziswa , ngazisile izizwe zakwa-Israyeli okuqinisekileyo.

Endlini yakwa-Israyeli ngibonile into eyesabekayo : kukhona ubufebe kwa- Efrayimi, u-Israyeli ungcolile.

Lapho bengiyakumphulukisa u -Israyeli, bambulelwa ububi buka -Efrayimi nokubi kweSamariya , ngokuba benza inkohliso , amasela ayafohla , nabaphangi baphanga ngaphandle.

U-Efrayimi unjengejuba elidukiswayo lingenangqondo ; bayabiza iGibithe, baya e-Asiriya.

U-Efrayimi uyazihlanganisa nabanye abantu : u-Efrayimi uyiqebelengwane elingaphendulwanga.

Ngokuba u -Efrayimi wandisile ama -altare aba ngukona ; ama-altare ayakuba ngukona kuye.

Ngokuba benyukele e -Asiriya bezihambele njengezimbongolo zasendle ; u- Efrayimi uyaqasha ngenkokhelo yothando.

Udumo luka -Efrayimi luyakundiza , lumuke njengenyoni , kungabikho ukuzala, nonesisu, nokukhulelwa.

U-Efrayimi, njengalokho ngibone eTire, utshalwe endaweni emnandi, kepha u-Efrayimi uyakukhiphela umbulali abantwana bakhe.

U-Efrayimi ushayiwe, impande yabo yomile , abayikuthela izithelo . Noma bezala, ngiyakubulala okuthandekayo kwesisu sabo.

Abayikuhlala ezweni likaJehova ; u-Efrayimi uyakubuyela eG ibithe, nase- Asiriya bayakudla okungcolileyo.

umprofethi engumlindi ka -Efrayimi kanye noNkulunkulu wami , ugibe lomthiyi wezinyoni lukuzo zonke izindlela zakhe , nobutha busendlini kaNkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngimzwile nokumuzwa u -Efrayimi ezidabukela , ethi: U ngishayile, ngashaywa njengethole elingajwayele ijoka ; ngibuyise ukuba ngibuye , ngokuba wena unguJehova uNkulunkulu wami.

U-Efrayimi uyindodana yami yini eyigugu kimi, ungumntwana othandekayo na? Ngokuba njalo lapho ngikhuluma okubi ngaye , ngisamkhumbula nokumkhumbula; ngalokho izibilini zami ziyamhawukela ; ngiyakuba nesihe impela kuye, usho uJehova.

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona usuk u abayakumemeza ngalo abalind i entabeni yakwa-Efrayimi ukuthi: Sukani, sikhuphukele eSiyoni kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Bayakufika bekhala, ngibahambise bekhuleka, ngibayise emifuleni yamanzi ngendlela eqondileyo abangayikukhubeka kuyo , ngokuba nginguyise ka - Israyeli, no-Efrayimi uyizibulo lami.

Ngokuba izwi liyamemezela liphuma kwaDani ; lizwakalisa okubi kuvela ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi.

Ngiyakumbuyisela u-Israyeli ekhaya lakhe , aklabe eKarmeli naseBashani , umphefumulo wakhe waneliswe ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi nezakwaGileyadi.

Ngiyakunilahla ebusweni bami, njengalokho ngabalahla bonke abafowenu, yonke inzalo yakwa-Efrayimi.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJosefa ba be yizizwe ezimbili , oManase no - Efrayimi; abawanikanga amaLevi isabelo ezweni , kuphela imizi ukuhlala kuyo, namadlelo ayo ezinkomo zawo, neyemfuyo yawo.

Kodwa abawaxoshanga amaKhanani ahlala eGezeri, kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kuka -Efrayimi kuze kube namuhla , aba yizinceku zokusebenza.

Abantwana bakwaJosefa, oManase no-Efrayimi, base belidla ifa labo.

Umkhawulo wabantwana bakwa -Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo wawunje : umkhawulo wefa labo ngasempumalanga wawuyi -Atharoti Adari kuze kube seBeti Horoni laseNhla;

Kusukela eTaphuwa umkhawulo waya ngasentshonalanga , wafika emfudlaneni iKhana; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle. Lelo liyifa lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo

kanye nemizi eyahlukaniselwa abantwana bakwa -Efrayimi phakathi kwefa labantwana bakwaManase, yonke imizi nemizana yayo.

okwaseningizimu kwakungokuka -Efrayimi, okwasenyakatho kwakungokukaManase, ulwandle lwalungumkhawulo wakhe ; bafinyelela kwa-Asheri ngasenyakatho nakwa-Isakare ngasempumalanga.

UJoshuwa wathi kubo : Uma uyisizwe esikhulu , khuphukela ehlathini , uzicabele khona ezweni lamaPherizi nakwelamaRefa , lokhu izintaba zakwa - Efrayimi ziminyene kuwe.

UJoshuwa wayesekhuluma kuyo indlu kaJosefa , naku-Efrayimi, nakuManase, ethi: Uyisizwe esikhulu , unamandla amakhulu ; awuyikuba nasabelo esisodwa nje;
