Kwatsi kube Davide atjelwe ngaloko, wakhipha tigijimi kutsi tiwahlangabete lamadvodza, ngobe abesahlaziseke kakhulu. Inkhosi yatsi: “Hlalani eJerikho, tize tihlume kahle tilevu tenu, bese niyabuya-ke.”
Joshuwa 6:24 - Siswati 1996 Bible Lonkhe lidolobha nako konkhe lokusekhatsi bakushisa ngemlilo; kodvwa isiliva, negolide, netitja telitfusi netensimbi bakufaka endlini yengcebo yaSimakadze. |
Kwatsi kube Davide atjelwe ngaloko, wakhipha tigijimi kutsi tiwahlangabete lamadvodza, ngobe abesahlaziseke kakhulu. Inkhosi yatsi: “Hlalani eJerikho, tize tihlume kahle tilevu tenu, bese niyabuya-ke.”
Wafike wokhela ngemlilo lithempeli laSimakadze, nesigodlo senkhosi kanye nato tonkhe tindlu taseJerusalema. Watokhela ngemlilo tonkhe tindlu letibalulekile.
Inkhosi Davide letintfo yatinikela kuSimakadze, njengobe beyentile nangaleti tesiliva, nangetegolide letatiphuma kuto tonkhe letive beyitincobile yatitfumba: ema-Edomu, nemaMowabi, nema-Amoni, nemaFilisti kanye nema-Amaleki.
Butsani konkhe loko lokuphangwe kulo nikubutsele ndzawonye enkhundleni yelidolobha, nilishise lonkhe lelo dolobha kanye nemphango yalo kube ngumnikelo wekushiswa samuku kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu. Liyawusala litindzala phakadze naphakadze, aliseyiwuphindze lakhiwe kabusha.
Kute nome yinye yaleto tintfo letilahliwe lekufanele titfolakale etandleni tenu, kuze Simakadze atewugucuka ekutfukutseleni kwakhe lokwesabekako. Uyakunentela umusa abe nesihawu kini, anandzise, njengobe afunga kuboyihlomkhulu,
“Noko kulamadolobha aletive Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu lanipha wona kutsi abe lifa lenu, akubete nome kunye lenikushiya kuphila.
Bonkhe bantfu lababelapho badliwa lusiko lwenkemba. Joshuwa wababhubhisa bonkhe, wangete washiya ngisho nakunye lokuphefumulako, wase ushisa iHasori ngemlilo.
Yonkhe igolide, nesiliva kanye netintfo letentiwe ngelitfusi nangensimbi tehlukaniselwe Simakadze, ngako kufanele timikiswe endlini yakhe yengcebo.”
Joshuwa wasindzisa Rahabi, ingwadla, nemndeni wakhe kanye nabo bonkhe lababenaye, ngobe watifihla tinhloli letatitfunyelwe nguJoshuwa eJerikho. Nalamuhla loku uhleti emkhatsini wema-Israyeli.
Ngako Joshuwa wayishisa i-Ayi, wayenta yaba yindvundvuma yetimvitsi taphakadze, kuze kube ngulamuhla solomane kwakhala libhungane kuleyo ndzawo.
Letimphondvo letilishumi lotibonile nesilo tiyawuyitondza lengwadla; tiyawukutsatsa konkhe lenako tiyishiye ingcunu, tidle inyama yayo, tiyishise ngemlilo.
Ngako-ke tinhlupheko tayo tiyawufika ngalanga linye: kufa, lusizi, nendlala. Iyawushiswa ngemlilo, ngobe inemandla iNkhosi Nkulunkulu leyehlulelako.”
