Sajika, senyuka ngendlela yaseBhashan; waphuma uOgi ukumkani waseBhashan, wasihlangabeza yena nabantu bakhe bonke, ukuba kuliwe e-Edreyi. |
| 2 |
Wathi uYehova kum, Musa ukumoyika; ngokuba ndimnikele esandleni sakho, nabantu bakhe bonke, nelizwe lakhe; uya kwenza kuye njengoko wenza ngako kuSihon ukumkani wama-Amori, obemi eHeshbhon. |
| 3 |
UYehova uThixo wethu wamnikela ke ezandleni zethu uOgi ukumkani waseBhashan, nabantu bakhe bonke; sambulala, kwada akwabakho namnye usindayo. |
| 4 |
Sayithimba yonke imizi yakhe ngelo xesha, akwabakho mzi singawuthabathanga kubo; imizi yaba mashumi mathandathu, wonke ummandla waseArgobhi, ubukumkani bukaOgi eBhashan. |
| 5 |
Yonke loo mizi ibinqatyiswe ngodonga oluphakamileyo,namasango, nemivalo; iyodwa imizi yabasemaphandleni, eyabe imininzi kunene. |
| 6 |
Sayisingela phantsi, njengoko senzayo kuSihon ukumkani waseHeshbhon; sasingela phantsi amadoda emizi yonke, nabafazi,nabantwana. |
| 7 |
Ke zona iinkomo zonke namaxhoba aloo mizi sazithimbela. |
| 8 |
Salithabatha ke ngelo xesha ilizwe esandleni sookumkani bobabini bama-Amori, elingaphonoshono kweYordan, lisusela kumlanjana oyiArnon, lada lesa entabeni yeHermon |
| 9 |
(amaTsidon athi iHermon leyo yiSiriyon, ke ama-Amori athi yiSenire), |
| 10 |
yonke imizi yehewu, neyelaseGiliyadi lonke, neBhashan yonke, kwada kwesa eSaleka ne-Edreyi, imizi yobukumkani bukaOgi eBhashan. |
| 11 |
Ngokuba nguOgi yedwa, ukumkani waseBhashan, impunde eyayisele kumaRafa. Nantso ikoyi yakhe, ikoyi yentsimbi;asiyiyo na leya iseRabha yakoonyana baka-Amon? Iziikubhite ezisithoba ubude bayo, iziikubhite ezine ububanzi bayo,ngokwekubhite yabantu. |
| 12 |
Elo lizwe salihlutha ngelo xesha, sithabathela eArohere ekumlanjana oyiArnon; nesiqingatha sentaba yeGiliyadi, nemizi yayo ndayinika amaRubhen namaGadi. |
| 13 |
Amasalela aseGiliyadi naweBhashan yonke, ubukumkani bukaOgi, ndawanika isiqingatha sesizwe sikaManase; wonke ummandla weArgobhi neBhashan yonke, leyo bekusithiwa lilizwe lamaRafa. |
| 14 |
UYahire, unyana kaManase, wathabatha wonke ummandla weArgobhi, wada wesa emdeni wamaGeshuri namaMahakati, wawubiza ngegama lakhe, wathi iBhashan yiHavoti-yahire, unanamhla. |
| 15 |
UMakire ndamnika elaseGiliyadi. |
| 16 |
AmaRubhen namaGadi ndawanika, ndithabathela kwelaseGiliyadi, ndada ke ndesa kumlanjana oyiArnon,empholokhohlweni wesihlambo, naloo mmandla waso, ndada ndesa naseYabhoki emlanjaneni, emdeni woonyana baka-Amon; |
| 17 |
neArabha, neYordan nommandla wayo, ndithabathela eKinerete,ndada ndesa elwandle lweArabha, uLwandle lweTyuwa, phantsi kwamaxandeka ePisga ngasempumalanga. |
| 18 |
Ndaniwisela umthetho ngelo xesha, ndisithi, UYehova uThixo wenu uninike eli lizwe ukuba nilihluthe. Welani nixhobile phambi kwabazalwana benu, oonyana bakaSirayeli, nonke nina bafo banobukroti. |
| 19 |
Kodwa abafazi benu, nabantwana benu, nemfuyo yenu (ndiyazi ukuba ninemfuyo eninzi), mabahlale emizini yenu endininike yona; |
| 20 |
ade uYehova abaphumze abazalwana benu njengani, balime nabo ilizwe elo abanika lona uYehova uThixo wenu phesheya kweYordan;nibuyele ke elowo elifeni lakhe endininike lona. |
| 21 |
UYoshuwa ndamwisela umthetho ngelo xesha, ndisithi, Amehlo akho akubonile konke oku akwenzileyo uYehova uThixo wenu kwaba kumkani bobabini; uya kwenjenjalo ke uYehova kwizikumkani zonke owelela kuzo. |
| 22 |
Ize ningaboyiki; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wenu nguye onilwelayo. |
| 23 |
Ndatarhuzisa kuYehova ngelo xesha, ndisithi, |
| 24 |
Nkosi yam, Yehova, uqalile ukumbonisa umkhonzi wakho ubukhulu bakho, nesandla sakho esithe nkqi; ngokuba nguwuphi na uthixo emazulwini nasehlabathini, ongenza ngokwezenzo zakho,nangokwemisebenzi yakho yobugorha? |
| 25 |
Makhe ndiwele kaloku, ndilibone ilizwe elo lihle,liphesheya kweYordan, loo ntaba intle, neLebhanon. |
| 26 |
Wandiphuphumela uYehova ngomsindo ngenxa yenu,akandiphulaphula; wathi uYehova kum, Yanela, musa ukuba saphinda uthethe kum ngale ndawo. |
| 27 |
Nyuka uye encotsheni yePisga, uphose amehlo akho entshonalanga, nasentla, nasezantsi, nasempumalanga,ulikhangele ngamehlo; ngokuba akuyi kuyiwela le Yordan. |
| 28 |
UYoshuwa mwisele umthetho, umomeleze, umkhaliphise; ngokuba yena uya kuwela yena phambi kwaba bantu; yena uya kubadlisa ilifa, elilelo lizwe uya kulibona. |
| 29 |
Sahlala ke esihlanjeni malungana neBhete-pehore. |
