1Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphambuka ngesiphambeko ngokuqalekisiweyo. Ngoba uAkani indodana kaKarmi indodana kaZabidi indodana kaZera owesizwe sakoJuda wathatha kokuqalekisiweyo; ulaka lweN lwaselubavuthela abantwana bakoIsrayeli.

2UJoshuwa wasethuma abantu besuka eJeriko besiya eAyi eliseduze leBeti-Aveni.

3Basebebuyela kuJoshuwa bathi kuye: Kakungenyuki bonke abantu; kakwenyuke phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezimbili loba phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezintathu ukutshaya iAyi. Ungadinisi bonke abantu ngo kuya khona, ngoba balutshwana.

4Kwasekusenyukela khona abavela ebantwini amadoda aphosa abe zinkulungwane ezintathu; abaleka phambi kwamadoda eAyi.

5Lamadoda eAyi atshaya phose amadoda angamatshumi amathathu lesithupha, axotshana lawo phambi kwesango aze afika eShebarimi, awatshayela ekwehleni. Ngakho inhliziyo yabantu yancibilika yaba ngamanzi.

6UJoshuwa wasedabula izigqoko zakhe, wathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini phambi komtshokotsho weN kwaze kwahlwa, yena labadala bakoIsrayeli.

7UJoshuwa wasesithi: Maye Nkosi Jehova! Ubachaphiseleni lokubachaphisa lababantu iJodani ukusinikela esandleni samaAmori ukusibhubhisa? Kungathi ngabe seneliswa sahlala ngaphetsheya kweJodani!

8O Nkosi, ngizakuthini, emva kokuthi uIsrayeli esephendule intamo ezitheni zakhe?

9Ngoba amaKhanani labo bonke abakhileyo elizweni bazakuzwa, basihanqe, baliqume ibizo lethu lisuke emhlabeni?

10yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Sukuma wena, uweleni kanje ngobuso bakho?

11UIsrayeli wonile; njalo baseqile isivumelwano sami engabalaya sona.

12Ngalokho abantwana bakoIsrayeli babengelakuma phambi kwezitha zabo.

13Sukuma, ngcwelisa abantu, uthi: Zingcweliseleleni ikusasa.

14Ngakho ekuseni lizasondezwa ngezizwe zenu; kuzakuthi-ke isizwe ezasibamba sizasondela ngensendo, losendo ezalubamba luzasondela ngezindlu, lendlu ezayibamba izasondela ngabantu.

15Kuzakuthi-ke lowo ozabanjwa lokuqalekisiweyo uzatshiswa ngomlilo, yena lakho konke alakho.

16UJoshuwa wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wenza uIsrayeli wasondela ngezizwe zakhe; lesizwe sakoJuda sabanjwa;

17wasesenza usendo lwakoJuda lusondele, wabamba usendo lwakoZera; wenza usendo lwakoZera lusondele ngabantu; uZabidi wasebanjwa;

18wasesenza indlu yakhe isondele ngabantu; uAkani.

19UJoshuwa wasesithi kuAkani: Ndodana yami, ake unike udumo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli.

20UAkani wasephendula uJoshuwa wathi: Isibili mina ngonile eNni, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli. Ngokunje langokunje ngikwenzile.

21Kwathi ngibona phakathi kwempango isembatho seBhabhiloni esihle esisodwa, lamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amabili, lolimi lwegolide olulodwa osisindo salo singamashekeli angamatshumi amahlanu, ngakuhawukela, ngakuthatha, khangela-ke, kuthukuziwe emhlabathini phakathi kwethente lami, lesiliva singaphansi kwakho.

22UJoshuwa wasethuma izithunywa, zagijima zaya ethenteni, khangela-ke, kwakufihliwe ethenteni lakhe, lesiliva singaphansi kwakho.

23Bakukhupha phakathi kwethente, bakuletha kuJoshuwa lebantwaneni bonke bakoIsrayeli, bakuthululela phambi kweN.

24UJoshuwa loIsrayeli wonke ekanye laye basebemthatha uAkani indodana kaZera, lesiliva, lesembatho, lolimi lwegolide, lamadodana akhe, lamadodakazi akhe, lenkabi zakhe, labobabhemi bakhe, lezimvu zakhe, lethente lakhe, lakho konke ayelakho, bakwenyusela esihotsheni seAkori.

25UJoshuwa wasesithi: Usihlupheleni? izakuhlupha lamuhla.

26Bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu yamatshe kuze kube lamuhla.
