UJoshuwa 18
18
Ukumiswa Kwethende Lokuhlangana Nokwehlukaniswa Kwezwe
1 Inhlangano yonke yakwa-Israyeli yayisihlangana eShilo, yamisa lapho ithende lokuhlangana. Izwe lanqotshwa phambi kwayo. 2Kwakusasele izizwe eziyisikhombisa phakathi kuka-Israyeli ezazingakasitholi isabelo sazo.
3Ngakho-ke uJoshuwa wathi kubantu bakwa-Israyeli: “Niyakudembesela kuze kube nini ningaphumi nidle izwe uSimakade uNkulunkulu wokhokho benu aninika lona na? 4Khethani amadoda ngamathathu kuleso naleso sizwana. Ngizowathuma aphume ahambe kulona lonke izwe, alobe ngalo alichaze asho ukuthi lifa lini elingabelwa leso naleso sizwana, bese ebuyela kimi. 5Ayakulehlukanisa izingxenye eziyisikhombisa: uJuda aqhubeke ahlale endaweni yakhe eseningizimu, indlu kaJosefa endaweni yayo enyakatho. 6Anoloba nilichaze izwe nilehlukanise kasikhombisa, bese niletha incazelo kimi, nginenzele unkatho phambi kukaSimakade uNkulunkulu wethu. 7 AbaLevi abanasabelo phakathi kwenu, ngokuba ubuphristi bukaSimakade buyifa labo. UGadi noRubeni nengxenye yesizwna sakwaManase sebesitholile isabelo sabo ngaphesheya kweJordani empumalanga, uMose inceku kaSimakade abanika sona.”
8 Amadoda eyesengena indlela; uJoshuwa wabayala labo ababezoloba bachaze ngezwe, wathi: “Hambani kulo lonke izwe nilobe nichaze ngomumo wezwe, bese nibuya nize kimi; ngizonenzela unkatho phambi kukaSimakade eShilo.”
9Ngakho-ke amadoda ahamba, adabula ezweni, aloba encwadini achaza ngomumo walo imizi ngemizi, izabelo eziyisikhombisa; ayesebuyela kuJoshuwa enkanjini eShilo. 10 UJoshuwa eseShilo wabenzela unkatho phambi kukaSimakade, wababela izwe abakwa-Israyeli kwayilowo nalowo waba nesabelo sakhe.
