1Kwathi, akufa uMoses umkhonzi kaYehova, wathetha uYehova kuYoshuwa unyana kaNun, umkhonzi kaMoses, esithi,

2uMoses umkhonzi wam ufile; Suka kaloku, uyiwele iYordan le, wena naba bantu bonke, ningene ezweni endilinika oonyana bakaSirayeli;

3Iindawo zonke eziya kunyathela kuyo intende yonyawo lwenu, ndininikile, njengoko ndathethayo kuMoses.

4Ukususela entlango le Lebhanon kuse kumlambo omkhulu, uMlambo umEfrate, lonke ilizwe lamaHeti, ukuya kufikelela kuLwandle Olukhulu ekutshoneni kwelanga, iya kuba ngumda wenu.

5Akukho mntu uya kuma phambi kwakho yonke imihla yokudla kwakho ubomi; ndiya kuba nawe, njengokuba bendinoMoses; Andisoze ndikushiye okanye ndikufulathele.

6Yomelela ukhaliphe, ngenxa yokuba olu hlanga uya kulunika ilizwe endathembisa ookhokho balo ngesifungo sokuba ndiya kubanika lona njengelifa.

7Kodwa ke zomelela, ukhaliphe kunene, ukuze wenze ngokomyalelo wonke, awawisa umthetho ngawo uMoses umkhonzi wam, ungatyeki kuwo, uye ekunene nasekhohlo, ukuze ube ngengqiqo apho sukuba usiya khona.

8Ize ingesuki incwadi yomyalelo emlonyeni wakho; uze ucinge ngayo imini nobusuku, ukuze wenze ngenyameko, njengoko kubhaliweyo kuyo;

9Andikuyalelanga na? Yomelela ukhaliphe; musa ukoyika, musa ukoyika, ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho unawe, naphi na apho sukuba usiya khona.

10uYoshuwa wabayalela abalindi abantu, wathi:

11Khandlula amatyala, nibawisele umthetho abantu, nithi, Zilungiseni ukudla; kuba emva kweentsuku ezintathu niya kuyiwela le Yordan nisiya kulidla ilifa ilizwe elo uYehova uThixo wenu aya kuninika lona ukuba libe lelenu.

12Wathetha uYoshuwa kumaRubhen, amaGadi, nakwisiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase, wathi:

13Likhumbuleni ilizwi awaniwisela umthetho ngalo uMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, esithi, uYehova uThixo wenu uniphumzile, uninikile eli lizwe.

14Abafazi benu, nabantwana benu, nemfuyo yenu, bohlala ezweni aninika lona uMoses nganeno kweYordan; sukani ke nikhawuleze nixhobe, niye kubazalwana benu, onke amagorha anobukroti, nibancede;

15ade uYehova abaphumze abazalwana benu, njengoko aninikileyo nina, balihluthe nabo ilizwe elo abanika lona uYehova uThixo wenu; nandule ke nibuyele ezweni lelifa lenu, nidle oko waninika kona uMoses umkhonzi kaYehova nganeno kweYordan ekuphumeni kwelanga.

16Bamphendula uYoshuwa, bathi, Yonke into osiyalele yona soyenza; naphi na apho usithumele khona, siya kuya.

17Ngako konke esamphulaphulayo uMoses, siya kukuphulaphula nawe kwanjengoko; uYehova uThixo wakho yedwa makabe nawe, njengokuba wayenoMoses.

18Bonke abasukuba begwilika kumyalelo wakho, bangawaphulaphuli amazwi akho, kuyo yonke into omwisele umthetho ngayo, bobulawa; yiba nje womelele uze ukhaliphe.
