UJoshuwa 2
Kungene izinhloli eJeriko
1UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wathuma amadoda amabili eShithimi ukuba abe yizinhloli ngasese, wathi: “Hambani nibone izwe laseJeriko.” Base behamba, bafika endlini yesifebe, uRahabi, balala khona.
2Inkosi yaseJeriko yabikelwa, yathi: “Bheka, kufike lapha ebusuku amadoda avela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuhlola izwe.”
3Inkosi yaseJeriko yasithumela kuRahabi ukuthi: “Khipha amadoda afikile kuwe, angena endlini yakho, ngokuba afikile ukuhlola izwe lonke.”
4Owesifazane wawathatha amadoda amabili, wawafihla, wathi: “Kwakukhona amadoda eza kimi, kepha bengingazi ukuthi avelaphi;
5Kwathi ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwesango, sekuhlwile, amadoda aphuma; lapho amadoda aya khona, ngangingazi; ngoba uzawafica.
6Kepha yawayisa ophahleni lwendlu, yawathukusa phezu kwezinhlanga zefilakisi ayezihlelile ophahleni.
7Amadoda abaxosha ngendlela eya eJordani kwaze kwaba semazibukweni; kwathi lapho ababebaxosha sebephumile, balivala isango.
8Kwathi zingakalala, wenyukela kuzo ophahleni;
9Wayesethi emadodeni: “Ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uninikile izwe, nokuthi ingebhe yenu isehlele, nokuthi bonke abakhileyo ezweni bafa ngenxa yenu.
10Ngokuba sezwa ukuthi uJehova womisa amanzi oLwandle lwaseGalile phambi kwenu ekuphumeni kwenu eGibithe; nalokho enakwenza emakhosini amabili ama-Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani, oSihoni no-Ogi enawaqalekisayo.
11Kwathi sesizwile lezizinto, inhliziyo yethu yaphela amandla, akubangakho sibindi kumuntu ngenxa yenu; ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu ezulwini phezulu nasemhlabeni phansi.
12Manje fungani kimi ngoJehova, lokhu nginibonise umusa, ukuthi nani niyakuba nomusa endlini kababa, ninginike isibonakaliso esiqinisileyo;
13futhi niyogcina ubaba nomama nabafowethu nodadewethu nabo bonke abalakho, futhi nisisindise ekufeni.
14Ayesephendula amadoda kuye, athi: “Siphila ngowakho, uma ungayikhulumi indaba yethu.” Futhi uma uJehova esinika izwe, sizokwenzela umusa neqiniso kuwe.
15Khona-ke wabehlisa ngefasitela ngentambo, ngoba indlu yakhe yayingaseludongeni lomuzi, futhi wayehlala phezu kogange.
16Wathi kubo: “Hambani niye entabeni, funa bahlangane nani abanizingelayo; nicashe khona izinsuku ezintathu, baze babuye abawaxoshayo; emva kwalokho ungahamba.
17Amadoda athi kuye: “Asiyikuba nacala kulesi sifungo sakho osifungise sona.”
18Bheka, lapho singena ezweni, kumelwe ubophe lentambo ebomvu efasiteleni osehlise ngalo; kumelwe ulethe ekhaya uyihlo nonyoko nabafowenu nayo yonke indlu yakho kuwe.
19Yilowo nalowo ophumela ngaphandle kweminyango yendlu yakho, igazi lakhe liyakuba sekhanda lakhe, thina singabi nacala; noma ubani okini endlini, igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwekhanda lethu, uma kukhona isandla esiphezu kwakhe.
20Futhi uma usimemezela lokhu, siyakukhululeka esifungweni sakho osifungise sona.
21Wathi: “Kunjengokusho kwakho.” Wasezimukisa, zahamba; wayesebophela umucu obomvu efasiteleni.
22Ahamba, afika entabeni, ahlala khona izinsuku ezintathu, baze babuya abawaxoshayo; futhi abashushisi babafuna indlela yonke, kodwa ababatholanga.
23Amadoda amabili ayesebuya, ehla entabeni, awela, afika kuJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni, amtshela konke okwawehlele.
24Bathi kuJoshuwa: “Impela uJehova unikele lonke izwe esandleni sethu; ngokuba bonke abakhileyo ezweni bayabhubha ngenxa yethu.
