Kwakukhona kuleyo ndawo izwe lesikhulu sesiqhingi , igama laso linguPhubiliyu; yena wasamukela, wasiphatha kahle izinsuku ezintathu.

UPetru wayesethatha ethi : Ngitshele ukuba izwe nilithengise ngokungaka na? Wathi: Yebo, ngokungaka.

Ngokuba abasho kanjalo babonakalisa ukuthi bafuna izwe lakubo.

Ngokukholwa siqonda ukuthi izwe lonke ladatshulwa ngezwi likaNkulunkulu, kuze kuthi okubonwayo akuvelanga kokubonwayo.

izwe elingabafan ele bona , behamba emahlane , nasezintabeni, nasemihumeni, nasemigedeni yomhlaba.

Ngokukholwa uNowa exwayisiwe nge zinto ebezingakabonwa , esaba uNkulunkulu, wakha umkhumbi wokusindisa indlu yakhe , okungakho walahla izwe, waba yindlalifa yokulunga okuvela ngokukholwa.

Kepha kimi makungabikho nakanye ukuzibonga, kuphela ngesiphambano seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, okubethelwe ngaye izwe kimi nami kulo izwe.

Kepha siyazi ukuthi lokhu okushoyo umthetho ukukhuluma kubo abasemthethweni ukuba yonke imilomo ivinjwe , izwe lonke libe necala kuNkulunkulu,

Qha nakanye, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uyakulahlulela kanjani izwe, pho, na?

Kuseyisikhashana izwe lingasangiboni , kepha niyangibona nina , ngokuba ngiphila mina, nani nizakuphila.

UJuda, ongesiye u -Iskariyothe, wathi kuye : Nkosi, kwenziwa yini ukuba uyakuzibonakalisa kithina, ungazibonakalisi kulo izwe, na?

kodwa kungukuba izwe lazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba nokuthi ngenza njengokuba uBaba engiyalile. Sukumani simuke lapha.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka , waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu kayithumelanga iNdodana ezweni ukuba yahlulele izwe, kodwa ukuba izwe lisindiswe ngayo.

Yathi ukuba izwe ukuthi uJesu ufikile eGalile evela eJudiya , yaya ku ye, yamncenga ukuba ehle aphulukise indodana yayo, ngokuba yayisizakufa.

Ngokuba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla ezulwini , olipha izwe ukuphila.

Ngokuba akukho muntu owenza utho ekusithekeni , efuna yena uqobo lwakhe abe sobala. Uma wenza lezi zinto, zibonakalise wena kulo izwe.

Izwe lingenizonde nina, kepha mina liyangizonda, ngokuba ngifakaza ngalo ukuthi imisebenzi yalo mibi.

Wabalandisa umfanekiso , wathi: Izwe lomuntu othile onothileyo lathela kahle.

Wayeseqala ukulandisa lo mfanekiso , ethi kubantu : Umuntu watshala isivini, wasiqashisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye izwe isikhathi eside.

uthi kubantu bezwe: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngabakhileyo eJerusalema ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, ithi: Bayakudla isinkwa sabo ngokwesaba , baphuze amanzi abo n gokumangala, ngokuba izwe lalo liyakuchithwa , laphucwe konke ukugcwala kwalo ngenxa yobudlova babo bonke abahlala kulo.

Imizi ehlalwayo iyakuchithwa , izwe libe yincithakalo , nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Uyakuyithwala ehlombe emehlweni abo, uyikhiphe sekumnyama, usibekele ubuso bakho , ukuze ungaboni izwe , ngokuba ngikubeke ukuba ube yisibonakaliso kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli.

Ndodana yomuntu , lapho izwe lona kimi ngokwenza iziphambeko , ngelulele isandla sami phezu kwalo , ngaphule uzime lwalo lwesinkwa , ngithume indlala kulo, nginqume kulo abantu nezilwane,

noma ebekhona lawo madoda amathathu phakathi kwalo , kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova , ayengayikophula amadodana noma amadodakazi , ophulwe wona odwa, izwe libe yincithakalo.

Ngiyakwenza izwe libe yincithakalo , ngokuba benze isiphambeko , isho iNkosi uJehova.

Labhidliza izinqaba zabo, lachitha imizi yabo , izwe lachitheka nokugcwala kwalo ngomsindo wokubhonga kwalo.

Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho nginingenisa ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, izwe engaliphakamisela isandla sami ukuba ngilinike oyihlo.

uthi kulo izwe lakwa -Israyeli: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngimelene nawe; ngiyakuhosha inkemba yami emgodleni wayo, nginqume abalungileyo nababi.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngokuba ushaye ihlombe , wadubhuza ngezinyawo , wathokozela izwe lakwa -Israyeli ngawo onke amafundululu akho emphefumulweni,

Bheka, ngalokho ngimelene nawe nemifula yakho ; ngiyakwenza izwe laseGibithe libe yihlane lamahlane nencithakalo , kusukela eMigidoli kuze kube seSevene, kuze kube semkhawulweni waseKushe.

Ngiyakwenza izwe laseGibithe libe yincithakalo phakathi kwamazwe ayincithakalo, imizi yalo phakathi kwemizi echithekileyo ibe yincithakalo iminyaka engamashumi a mane, ngihlakazele abaseGibithe ezizweni , ngibasabalalisele emazweni.

ngibuyise ukuthunjwa kwaseGibithe , ngibabuyisele ezweni lasePhatirosi , izwe lokudabuka kwabo, babe ngumbuso ophansi khona.

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngizakunika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , izwe laseGibithe ; uyakuyisusa ingcebo yalo, aphange impango yalo, agcugce ingcugco yalo, kube yinkokhelo yempi yakhe.

Ngiyamnika izwe laseGibithe ngomsebenzi owakhonza ngawo , abawenza kimi, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Izwe laseGibithe liyakuba yincithakalo nehlane , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngokuba wathi: Umfula ungowami, mina ngiwenzile.

Yena nabantu bakhe kanye naye , abesabekayo bezizwe , bayakulethwa ukuba bachithe izwe , bahoshele iGibithe izinkemba zabo , bagcwalise izwe ngabagwaziweyo.

Ngiyakwenza imifula ishe, ngithengise ngezwe esandleni sababi , ngichithe izwe nokugcwala kwalo ngesandla sabafokazi; mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.

Lapho ngiyakwenza izwe laseGibithe libe yincithakalo nehlane , izwe elingasenokugcwala kwalo , lapho ngibulala bonke abakhe kulo , khona bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Ngiyakuliminzisa izwe lokukhukhula kwakho ngegazi lakho kuze kube sezintabeni, imifudlana igcwale ngawe.

Ngiyakwenza izwe libe yincithakalo nokuyize, kuphele ukuzidla kwamandla alo; izintaba zakwa-Israyeli ziyakuchithwa ukuze kungabikho odlulayo.

Bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova , lapho ngenzile izwe libe yincithakalo nokuyize ngenxa yazo zonke izinengiso zabo abazenzileyo.

Izwe e laliyize liyakulinywa esikhundleni sokuba yincithakalo emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.

yebo, ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Impela ngomlilo womhawu wami ngikhulumile ngensali yezizwe nangawo wonke u-Edomi, ababeke izwe lami libe yifa labo ngentokozo yenhliziyo yabo yonke nangamafundululu omphefumulo, ukuze lilahlwe libe yimpango;

ukhuphukele ukulwa nabantu bami u -Israyeli njengefu lokusibekela izwe ; kuyakuthi ngezinsuku ezizayo ngikuyise kubantu bami ukuze izizwe zingazi, lapho ngizingcwelisa ngawe Gogi emehlweni azo.

Ndodana yomuntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kuGogi, izwe likaMagogi, isikhulu sakwaRoshe noMesheke noThubali, uprofethe ngaye,

Uyakukhuphuka, ufike njengesivunguvungu, usibekele izwe njengefu , wena nawo onke amaviyo akho, nabantu abaningi kanye nawe.

Indlu yakwa -Israyeli iyakubembela izinyanga eziyisikhombisa , ukuze ihlambulule izwe.

Bayakwahlukanisa njalo abantu abayakudabula izwe , bembele ababedabula besasele ebusweni bomhlaba, baze balihlambulule; bayakucinga ngasekugcineni kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

Kuyakuba khona futhi nomuzi ogama lawo liyakuba yiHamoni . Bayakuhlambulula kanjalo izwe.

Ngiyakuselulela kubo isandla sami, ngenze izwe libe yincithakalo nokuyize kunehlane laseDibila kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Wena ndodana yomuntu , isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulo izwe lakwa - Israyeli, ithi: Ukuphela! Ukuphela kufikile emagumbini omane ezwe.

Yenza iketa nga, ngokuba izwe ligcwele amacala egazi , nomuzi ugcwele ubudlova.

Wayesethi kimi : Ndodana yomuntu , uyabona yini akwenzayo amalunga endlu yakwa -Israyeli ebumnyameni , kube yilelo nalelo ekamelweni lalo lezithombe, na? Ngokuba athi: UJehova akasiboni, uJehova ulishiyile izwe.

Wathi kimi: Uyakubona lokhu wena ndodana yomuntu na ? Kuyinto elula kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ukwenza izinengiso abazenzayo lapho na ? Ngokuba sebeligcwalisile izwe ngobudlova , babuye bangicunula . Bhekani, babeka amagatsha emakhaleni abo.

Wathi kimi : Ububi bendlu yakwa -Israyeli neyakw aJuda bukhulu kakhulu impela, nezwe ligcwele igazi , nomuzi ugcwele ukuhlanekezela , ngokuba bathi: UJehova ulishiyile izwe, uJehova akakuboni.

Lapho uJehova eqala ukukhuluma ngoHoseya , uJehova wat hi kuHoseya : Hamba uzithathele umfazi ophingayo nabantwana bophingayo, ngokuba izwe liyaphinga nokuphinga ngokungamlandeli uJehova.

Ngalokho izwe liyakudabuka , bonke abakhe kulo badang ale kanye nezilwane zasendl e nezinyoni zezulu ; yebo, nezinhlanzi zolwandle ziyakususwa.

Wawenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe , walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngokuqonda kwakhe waleneka izulu.

ukuba ngisiqinise isifungo engasifunga koyihlo ukubanika izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi -- njenganamuhla. Ngase ngiphendula ngithi: Amen, Jehova.

Basenze incithakalo ; siyincithakalo, sikhala kimi ; izwe lonke lichithiwe , kepha akakho okubeka enhliziyweni.

Koze kube nini izwe lidabuka, nemifino yonke yasendle ibuna, na? Ngobubi babakhileyo khon a izinkomo nezinyoni ziyabhubha , ngokuba bathi : Akayikubona ukugcina kwethu.

Uma ngiphumela endle , bheka, nampo ababuleweyo ngenkemba , nalapho ngingena emzini , bheka, nampo abaphethwe yindlala , ngokuba umprofethi nompristi bahamba izwe bengazi lutho.

Kuqala ngi yakuphindisela ngokuphindiweyo ububi babo nezono zabo , ngokuba balingcolisile izwe lami ngezidumbu zezinto zabo ezizondekayo , baligcwalisa ifa lami ngezinengiso zabo.

benze izwe labo libe yisimangalis o nento encimfelwayo njalo ; bonke abadlula khona bayakumangala, banikine ikhanda.

Ngokuba bheka , ngikubekile namuhla ube ngumuzi obiyelweyo , nensika yensimbi, nezingange zethusi ngakulo izwe lonke , nangawo amakhosi akwaJuda nezikhulu zalo, nangakubo abapristi balo nabantu bezwe.

Ningakhaleli ofileyo , ningamlileli, kepha nimkhalele nokumkhalela omukayo, ngokuba akasayikubuya, kasayikubona izwe lokuzalwa kwakhe.

Ngiyakukuzwibela kwelinye izwe , wena nonyoko owakuzalayo , lapho ningazalelwanga khona; niyakufela khona.

Ngokuba izwe ligcwele iziphingi ; izwe liyadabuka ngenxa yesiqalekiso; amadlelo asehlane omile. Ukuhamba kwabo kubi, namandla abo awalungile.

Izwe lonke leli liyakuba yincithakalo nesimangaliso , nalezi zizwe ziyakuyikhonza inkosi yaseBabele iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa.

Uwushiyile umphandu wakhe njengengonyama , ngokuba izwe labo seliyincithakalo ngenxa yokufutheka kwenkemba ecindezelay o nangenxa yokufutheka kolaka lwalo.

Amabhongo ezingonyama abhongile phezu kw akhe, akhonya, alenza izwe lakhe laba yincithakalo; imizi yakhe ishisiwe, kungekho owakhe kuyo.

Ngikukhumbulela umusa wobusha bakho , nothando lwakho , usengumakoti, nokungilandela kwakho ehlane, izwe elingatshalwanga.

Wena sizukulwane, bheka izwi likaJehova. Bengiyihlane ku-Israyeli, noma izwe lesigayegaye , na? Basholoni abantu bami ukuthi : S esidlubulundile, asisayikubuyela kuwe, na?

Nganingenisa ezweni elivundileyo ukuba nidle izithelo zalo nokuhle kwalo , kepha lapho seningenile , nalingcolisa izwe lami , nenza ifa lami laba yisinengiso.

wabanika leli zwe , njengalokho afunga koyise ukubani ka lona , izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi;

Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Niyakusho kanje enkosini yakwaJuda eyanithuma kimi ukubuza kimi , nithi: Bheka, impi kaFaro ephume ukunisiza iyakubuyela eGibithe, izwe lakubo.

Mina bengithi: Ngiyakukubeka kanjani phakathi kwabantw ana, ngikuphe izwe elinxanelekayo , ifa elihle kakhulu ezizweni ! Ngathi: Niyakungibiza ngokuthi Baba , ningabuyi ekungilandeleni.

Phakamisela amehlo akh o emadulini angenalutho , ubone; kuphi lapho ongalalwanga khona na? Ngasezindleleni ubahlalele njengomArabiya ehlane, walingcolisa izwe ngobufebe nangobubi bakho.

nangokuzwakala kokufeba kwakhe langcoliswa izwe , waphinga nemithi namatshe.

Bheka, manje sengiyakukhulula namuhla emaketangeni asezandleni zakho . Uma kukuhle emehlweni akho ukuya nami eBabele , woza ngiyakukubheka; kepha uma kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya nami eBabele , kuyeke; bheka, izwe lonke lisebusweni bakho ; lapho kukuhle nalapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho.

Uyakufika, ashaye izwe laseGibithe , abokufa babe ngabokufa , abokuthunjwa babe ngabokuthunjwa, abenkemba babe ngabenkemba.

Ngiyakuphemba umlilo uyakuzishisa, athumbe onkulunkulu, embathe izwe laseGibithe njengomalusi embatha ingubo yakhe , aphume eGibithe ngokuthula.

UJehova wayengasenakuthwala okubi kwemisebenzi yenu nezinengiso zenu enizenzileyo; ngalokho izwe lakini seliyincithakalo , nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, kungekho owakhile kulo njenganamuhla.

Izwi uJehova alikhuluma kuJeremiya umprofethi ngokuza kukaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, ukuchitha izwe laseGibithe.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, amanzi ayenyuka enyakatho , abe ngumfula okhukhulayo , akhukhule izwe nokugcwala kwalo , umuzi nabakhileyo kuwo ; abantu bayakukhala , bonke abakhileyo ezweni bahhewule.

Ukwahlulela kwehlele izwe lethafa: iHoloni, neJahasi, neMefahati,

Kuyamenyezelwa ukubhujiswa phezu kokubhujiswa , ngokuba izwe lonke liyachithwa. Amatende ami ayachithwa masinyane , nezilenge zami ngokuphazima kweso.

Ngabuka; bheka, izwe elivundileyo laliyihlane , nemizi yalo yonke yayidiliziwe ebusweni bukaJehova naphambi kolaka lwakhe oluvuthayo.

Ngokuba uJehova usho kanje , uthi: Izwe lonke liyakuba yincithakalo , kepha angiyikuliqeda ngokupheleleyo.

Ingonyama ikhuphukile esihlahleni sayo , umchithi wezizwe uyeza ; uphumile endaweni yakh e ukuba ulenze izwe lakho libe yincithakalo , ichithwe imizi yakho, kungabikho ohlala kuyo.

Izwi uJehova alikhuluma ngeBabele , izwe lamaKaledi , ngesandla sikaJeremiya umprofethi.

Ngokuba kukhuphukela kulo isizwe sivela enyakatho, esiyakwenza izwe lalo libe yincithakalo, kungabikho ohlala kulo; abantu nezilwane kuyakubaleka , kuhambe.

Wawenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe , walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngokuqonda kwakhe waleneka izulu.

Lingcweliseleni izi zwe, amakhosi aseMediya , nezinduna zalo , nababusi balo, nalo lonke izwe elibuswa yibo.

Umhlaba uyathuthumela , uqhaqhazele, ngokuba amacebo kaJehova ngeBabele em i okuba enze izwe laseBabele libe yincithakalo , kuze kungabikho ohlala khona.

Imizi yalo ichithekile; yizwe elomileyo, nehlane, izwe elingahlalwa muntu, kungadluli kulo indodana yomuntu.

Ngalokho bheka , izinsuku ziyeza , lapho ngiyakujezisa izithombe ezibaziweyo zaseBabele , izwe lonke lalo li jabhe, bonke ababuleweyo balo bawe phakathi kwalo.

Ngokuba o -Israyeli noJud a abashiywanga nguNkulunkulu wabo , uJehova Sebawoti, noma izwe labo ligcwele icala koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Mawuxwayiswe, Jerusalema, funa umphefumulo wam i wahlukane nawe , funa ngikwenze incithakalo, izwe elingahlalwa.

Ngiyakuthulisa emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema izwi lokujabula nezwi lokuthokoza, izwi lomyeni nezwi lomakoti , ngokuba izwe liyakuba yincithakalo.

Ukuthimula kwamahhashi akhe kuyezwakala kwaDani ; ngezwi lokuyiyiza kwanamandla akhe izwe lonke liyathuthumela, ngokuba afikile, alidlile izwe nakho konke okukulo, umuzi nabakhe kuwo.

Ngubani umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ongakuqonda lokhu , okhulumile kuye umlomo kaJehova, akumemezele, na? Izwe lichithelweni, lasha njengehlane, kungekho odabulayo, na?

Ngokuba izwi lokukhala lizwakal a livela eSiyoni, lithi: Yeka ukuphangwa kwethu! Sijabhile kakhulu , ngokuba silishiyile izwe , ngokuba badilizile izindlu zethu.

ngingakayi lapho ngingasayikubuya khona, izwe lobumnyama nelomthunzi wokufa,

izwe lobumnyama obunjengesigayegay e nelomthunzi wokufa nelesiphithiphithi, lapho ukukhanya kunjengobumnyama.

zona ezaphiwa zodwa izwe, kungadabulanga kuzo umfokazi ngokuthi:

Umuntu onamandla, izwe lingelakhe; onodumo uyahlala kulo.

Ngubani owambeka phezu komhlaba na? Ngubani owamisa izwe lonke na?

Base bethi kuye : Ake usitshele ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobu bubi buphezu kwethu. Umsebenzi wakho uyini ? Uvelaphi? Liphi izwe lakini , ungowasiphi isizwe na?

Wachitha-ke uJoshuwa izwe lonke , izintaba, neNingizimu, namathafa, nemithambeka, namakhosi onke alo; akashiyanga noyedwa owasalayo, kepha waqothula konke okuphefumulayo njengokuyala kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

UJoshuwa wathatha-ke lonke lelo zwe , izintaba, neNingizimu yonke, nalo lonke izwe laseGosheni , namathafa, ne-Araba, nezintaba zakwa -Israyeli, namathafa akhe,

Wathatha-ke uJoshuwa izwe lonke njengakho konke uJehova abekukhulumile kuMose ; uJoshuwa walinika u -Israyeli libe yifa lakhe ngokwezabelo zabo nezizwe zabo. Izwe lase liphumula ekulweni.

Lawa angamakhosi ezwe anqotshwa ngabantwana bakwa -Israyeli, belidla izwe lawo ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , kusukela esigodini sase-Arinoni kuze kube sentabeni yaseHermoni, nalo lo nke i -Araba ngasempumalanga:

futhi izwe lika-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani , owensali yamaRefa , owahlala e - Ashitaroti nase-Edireyi,

UJoshuwa wayesemdala eneminyaka eminingi ; uJehova wathi kuye : Usumdala uneminyaka eminingi, kepha kusasele izwe elikhulu kakhulu eliyakudliwa.

lonke izwe lamaKhanani ng aseningizimu neMehara elingelamaSidoni kuze kufike e-Afeki nasemkhawulweni wama-Amori,

Igama leHebroni laliyiKiriyati Araba kuqala ngomuntu owayemkhulu kuwo ama-Anaki. Izwe lase liphumula ekulweni.

Njengalokho uJehova amyala uMose, benze njalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bahlukanisa izwe. Isabelo sikaKalebi

Ngangineminyaka engamashumi amane lapho uMose , inceku kaJ ehova, wangithuma ngisuka eKadeshi Barineya ukuba ngihlole izwe , ngabuyisela izwi kuye njengokusenhliziyweni yami.

UMose wafunga ngalolo suku , wathi: Impela izwe unyawo lwakho olunyathele kulo liyakuba yifa lakho nelabantwana bakho kuze kube phakade, ngokuba umlandele uJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngokupheleleyo.

Wathi: Ngiphe isipho ; lokhu unginike izwe laseningizimu , ngiphe nemithombo yamanzi . Wamupha imithombo yasenhla nemithombo yasenzansi.

ngokuba amadodakazi kaManase aba nefa phakathi kwamadodana akhe ; izwe lakwaGileyadi laba ngelamanye amadodana kaManase.

Izwe laseTaphuwa lalingelikaManase, kepha iTaphuwa elisemkhawulweni kaManase lalingelabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi.

Yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yabuthana eShilo , yamisa khona itende lokuhlangana; izwe lanqotshwa phambi kwabo.

UJoshuwa wawenzela inkatho eShilo phambi kukaJehova ; uJoshuwa wababela khona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli izwe njengezabelo zalo. Isabelo sakwaBenjamini

UJoshuwa wathi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli: Niyakuyekethisa kuze kube nini ukuya ukulidla izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo aninike lona na?

Anoloba izwe kube yizabelo eziyisikhombisa , nikulethe lapha kimi , nginenzele inkatho lapha phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Amadoda ayesesuka, ahamba; uJoshuwa wayala abahambayo ukuba balobe izwe, wathi: Sukani nihambe ezweni , nililobe, nibuyele kimi , nginenzele inkatho phambi kukaJehova eShilo.

Ayesehamba amadoda , adabula izwe , aliloba ngemizi , kwaba yizabelo eziyisikhombisa encwadini; afika kuJoshuwa ekamu laseShilo.

Base beqeda ukwabelana izwe libe yifa ngemikhawulo yalo ; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamnika uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni ifa phakathi kwabo;

Lawo angamafa abawabela ngenkatho u -Eleyazare umpristi , noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni , nezinhloko zawoyise bezizwe zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli eShilo phambi kukaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana. Baqeda-ke ukwabela izwe.

Dabulani phakathi kwekamu, niyale abantu, nithi: Zilungiseleni umphako, ngokuba emva kwezinsuku ezintathu niyakuwela leli Jordani , ningene ukuba nilidle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona ukuba nilizuze. Isiyalezo sikaJoshuwa ukuba izizwe zasempumalanga zisize ukunqoba izwe elingasentshonalanga kweJordani

uJehova aze aphumuze abafowenu njengani , nabo badle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu abanika lona, andukuba nibuyele ezweni lefa lenu aninika lona uMose inceku kaJehova ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , nilidle.

Kusukela ehlane nakuleli Lebanoni kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu , umfula u-Ewufrathe, lonke izwe lamaHeti , nakuze kube seLwandle Olukhulu ngasentshonalanga, kuyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu.

Qina, ume isibindi , ngokuba uyakwenza ukuba laba bantu badle izwe engalifungela oyise ukubanika lona.

UJehova wamnika-ke u -Israyeli lonke izwe afunga ukubanika lona oyise , balidla, bakha kulo.

Kepha uma izwe lefa lenu lingcolile , welani, niye ezweni lefa likaJehova , lapho lihlala khona itabernakele likaJehova , nibe nefa phakathi kwethu ; kepha ningahlubuki uJehova , ningahlubuki futhi kithi ngokuzakhela i -altare ngaphandle kwe-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

Leyo nto yaba nhle emehlweni abantwana bakwa -Israyeli; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bambonga uNkulunkulu , ababe besasho ukuthi bayakukhuphuka babahlasele, bachithe izwe ababehlala kulo abantwana bakwaRubeni nabantwana bakwaGadi.

Inxenye yesizwe sakwaManase uMose wayeyabele izwe eBashani , kepha inxenye uJoshuwa way inika izwe phakathi kwabafowabo phesheya kweJordani ngasentshonalanga . Lapho uJoshuwa esebamukisa ukuba baye ematendeni abo, wababusisa, wakhuluma kubo, wathi:

Abantwana bakwaRubeni nabantwana bakwaGadi nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase babuya , bamuka kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli eShilo eliyizwe laseKhanani ukuba baye ezweni lakwaGileyadi, izwe lefa labo, ababelwa lona njengesiyalezo sikaJehova ngesandla sikaMose;

UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uyakuzixosha ngaphambi kwenu , azidungule ebusweni benu , nilidle izwe lazo , njengalokho ebekhuluma uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu kini.

Nganinika izwe eningakhandlekanga kulo, nemizi eningayakhanga nihlala nokho kuyo; niyadla ezivinini naseminqumeni eningakutshalanga.

Nganingenisa ezweni lama -Amori ahlala ngaphesheya kweJordani , alwa nani; ngawanikela esandleni senu , nadla izwe lawo ; ngawachitha phambi kwenu.

UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wathuma ngasese eseShithimi amadoda amabili abe yizinhloli, wathi: Hambani nibone izwe neJeriko. Basuka, bafika endlini yesifebe esigama laso linguRahabi, balala khona.

Athi amadoda kuye : Mayife imiphefumulo yethu esikhundleni senu ; uma ningavezi obala le ndaba yethu, siyakunenzela umusa neqiniso lapho uJehova esinika izwe.

Inkosi yaseJeriko yatshelwa ; kwathiwa: Bheka, kwafika lapha ebusuku amadoda abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba ahlole izwe.

Athi kuJoshuwa : UJehova unikile ezandleni zethu izwe l onke; bonke abakhileyo ezweni baphela amandla phambi kwethu.

Inkosi yaseJeriko yathumela kuRahabi, yathi: Khipha lawo madoda afikile kuwe, angena endlini yakho, ngokuba ezile ukuzohlola izwe lonke.

wathi kumadoda: Ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uninikile izwe , nokuthi sehlelwe ngukunesaba, nokuthi bonke abakhileyo ezweni baphela amandla pham bi kwenu.

Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba iminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane , saze saphela isizwe sonke , yiwo amadoda empi aphuma eGibithe, lokhu engalalelanga izwi likaJehova , afunga kuwo uJehova ukuthi akayikuwabonisa izwe uJehova alifungela oyise ethi uyakusinika lona , izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

UJoshuwa wathi kulawo madoda amabili ayelihlolile izwe: Ngenani endlini yesifebe, nikhiphe kuyo owesifazane nabo bonke anabo , njengalokho namfungela.

UJoshuwa wathuma amadoda, asuka eJeriko aya e -Ayi eliseceleni kweBeti Aveni ngasempumalanga kwaseBethele , wakhuluma kuwo , wathi: Khuphukani, nilihlole izwe. Amadoda akhuphuka ahlola i-Ayi.

Niyakuthabatha isikhulu sibe sinye kuleso naleso sizwe ukwahlukanisa izwe libe yifa lenu.

Wathi uBowazi: Msukwana ulithenga izwe esandleni sikaNawomi , ulithenga nakuRuthe wakwaMowabi umkamufi ukuba ulivuse igama lofileyo efeni lakhe.

Ngokuba angisayikubahawukela abakhileyo ezweni , usho uJehova , kepha bheka, ngiyakunikela abantu, kube yilowo nalowo esandleni somakhelwane wakhe nasesandleni senkosi yakhe ; bona bayakushaya izwe labo , kepha angiyikubophula esandleni sabo.

Lonke izwe liyakuphenduka ithafa kusukela eGeba kuze kube seRimoni ngaseningizimu kwaseJerusalema; liyakuphakanyiswa, lihlale endaweni yalo, kusukela eSangweni likaBenjamini kuze kube sendaweni yesango lakuqala , kuze kube seSangweni Lasegumbini , kusukela eMbhoshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube sesikhamweni sewayini senkosi.

Hheyi, hheyi, balekelani izwe lasenyakatho ! usho uJehova , ngokuba nginihlakazile njengemimoya yomine yezulu, usho uJehova.

Ngiyakubahlakazela phakathi kwezizwe zonke abangazazanga . Izwe selichithekile emva kwabo , ukuze kungabikho muntu odlulayo nobuyayo , ngokuba benza izwe elihle laba yincithakalo.
