naleli litshe engilimisileyo laba yinsika liyakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu, bese kuthi konke ozongipha khona ngikunikele kuwe, kube ngokweshumi.”
UJoshuwa 4:3 - IsiZulu 2020 Uwayale ukuba ngayinye ithathe itshe phakathi nomfula lapho kumi khona izinyawo zabaphristi, athathe amatshe ali-12. Niyakuwathatha niwele nawo, niwabeke endaweni lapho niyophumula khona, lapho niyolala khona ngalobo busuku.” IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE niwayale nithi: ‘Zikhipheleni lapha phakathi kweJordani, endaweni lapho izinyawo zabapristi zazimi khona ziqinile, amatshe ayishumi nambili, niwele nawo, niwabeke endaweni eniyakulala kuyo ebusuku.’ ” Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 Uyala kubo uthi: Thatha lapha phakathi kweJordani, endaweni lapho izinyawo zabapristi zazimi khona ziqine, amatshe ayishumi nambili, niwathwale, niwashiye endaweni yokulala kwenu. Uzochitha ubusuku kulobu busuku. |
naleli litshe engilimisileyo laba yinsika liyakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu, bese kuthi konke ozongipha khona ngikunikele kuwe, kube ngokweshumi.”
Mbonge uSimakade, mphefumulo wami, ungaze wakhohlwa yimisebenzi yakhe yonke yomusa,
USimakade usethempelini lakhe elingcwele. Isihlalo sakho Simakade sisezulwini. Amehlo akho ayabona, ukubheka kwakho kuyabahlolisisa abantwana babantu.
UJoshuwa wathi kubo bonke abantu: “Bhekani, leli litshe liyokuba ngufakazi ngathi, ngokuba lizwile wonke amazwi kaSimakade awakhulume kithi; liyoba ngufakazi ngani, uma senimphika uNkulunkulu wenu.”
Kuyothi lapho amathe ezinyawo zabaphristi abathwele umphongolo kaSimakade, iNkosi yomhlaba wonke, ethinta amanzi eJordani, amanzi eJordani ageleza evela enhla ayokuma, ayokuma abe yintaba.”
UJoshuwa wayesebiza lawo madoda ali-12 ayeqokwe phakathi kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli, indoda eyodwa isizwe ngesizwe.
Abantu bakwa-Israyeli benza njengoba uJoshuwa wayebayalile; bathatha amatshe ali-12 phakathi neJordani njengalokhu uSimakade ayeshilo kuJoshuwa, njengokwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli; bawathwala bawela nawo, baya endaweni lapho babezolala khona, base bewabeka phansi lapho.
USamuweli wathatha itshe, walimisa phakathi kweMizpha neSheni. Waliqamba wathi yi-Ebheni Ezeri, ethi: “USimakade usisizile kwaze kwaba lapha.”
