UJoshuwa 11 Ukunqoba ezindaweni ezahlukene

¹ Kwathi uJabini inkosi yaseHasori ekuzwa lokho, wathumela kuJobabe inkosi yaseMadoni, nasenkosini yaseShimroni, nasenkosini ka-Asafa,

² nasemakhosini asenyakatho yezintaba namathafa, eningizimu yeKineroti, nasesigodini, nasentshonalanga kwaseDori,

³ namaKhanani ngasempumalanga nasentshonalanga, nama-Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaJebusi ezintabeni, namaHivi phansi kweHermoni, ezweni laseMispa.

⁴ Base bephuma, bona nawo onke amabutho abo kanye nabo, abantu abaningi ngangesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle ngobuningi, namahhashi nezinqola eziningi.

⁵ Esebuthene onke lawo makhosi, eza amisa ngasemanzini aseMeromu ukuba alwe no-Israyeli.

⁶ UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Ungabesabi, ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakubakhulula bonke abanqotshiweyo phambi kuka-Israyeli; kumelwe unqume amahhashi abo futhi ushise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

⁷ Khona uJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bempi bekanye naye babafikela ngasemanzini aseMeromu; bawela phezu kwabo.

⁸ UJehova wabanikela esandleni sakwa-Israyeli, wabanqoba, wabaxosha kwaze kwaba seSidoni elikhulu, naseMisirefotimayimi, nasesigodini saseMispa ngasempumalanga; futhi babahlula kwaze kwasala noyedwa.

⁹ UJoshuwa wenza kubo, njengalokho uJehova emyalile: wagijimisa amahhashi abo, wazishisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

¹⁰ UJoshuwa waphenduka ngaleso sikhathi, wathatha iHazori, wayishaya inkosi yalo ngenkemba, ngoba iHazori laliyinhloko yayo yonke leyo mibuso.

¹¹ Babulala bonke abantu ababekulo ngobukhali benkemba, bababulala ngesiqalekiso; kwakungekho ophefumulayo; washisa iHasori ngomlilo.

¹² UJoshuwa wathatha yonke imizi yalawo makhosi nawo onke amakhosi awo, wawachitha ngosiko lwenkemba, wawashaya ngesiqalekiso, njengokuyala kukaMose inceku kaJehova.

¹³ Kepha imizi eyayisele ezinqabeni zayo u-Israyeli akayishisanga namunye kuyo, kuphela iHasori lodwa; wamshisa uJoshuwa.

¹⁴ Yonke impango yaleyo mizi nezinkomo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bazithathela yona njengempango; kodwa bababulala bonke ngosiko lwenkemba baze babaqeda, abavumelanga muntu ukuphefumula.

¹⁵ Njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose inceku yakhe, kanjalo uMose wamyala uJoshuwa, wenze njalo uJoshuwa; akenzanga lutho uJehova ayemyale ngalo uMose.

¹⁶ UJoshuwa walithatha lonke lelo zwe, izintaba, neningizimu, nalo lonke izwe laseGosheni, nesigodi, nethafa, nezintaba zakwa-Israyeli, nesigodi sayo;

¹⁷ kusukela entabeni yaseHalaki ekhuphukela eSeyiri, kuze kufike eBali Gadi esigodini saseLebanoni phansi kwentaba iHermoni; wathatha wonke amakhosi abo, wawanqoba, wawabulala.

¹⁸ UJoshuwa walwa nawo wonke lawo makhosi isikhathi eside.

¹⁹ Akubangakho muzi owenza ukuthula nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngaphandle kwamaHivi akhileyo eGibeyoni; bonke abanye babayisa empini.

²⁰ Ngokuba kwavela kuJehova ukwenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo ukuba bahlasele u-Israyeli, abashaye ngesiqalekiso esichithayo, bangabi namusa, kodwa ukubachitha, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

²¹ Ngaleso sikhathi uJoshuwa wafika wawaqothula ama-Anaki ezintabeni, eHebroni, eDebiri, e-Anabi, nasezintabeni zakwaJuda, nasezintabeni zonke zakwa-Israyeli; UJoshuwa wabaqalekisa kanye nemizi yabo.

²² Akusalanga noyedwa kuma-Anaki ezweni labantwana bakwa-Israyeli; kwasala eGaza, naseGati, nase-Ashidodi kuphela.

²³ UJoshuwa walithatha izwe lonke njengakho konke uJehova abekushilo kuMose; uJoshuwa walinika u-Israyeli laba yifa ngokwezigaba zabo ngokwezizwe zabo. Izwe lazola ekulweni.
