1Ngawo la amazwe abawadlayo oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni lakwaKanan, abawanikayo umbingeleli uElazare, noYoshuwa unyana kaNun, neentloko zezindlu zoonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba libe lilifa labo.

2Ilifa labo lahlulwa ngamaqashiso, kanye njengoko uYehova wayeyalele ngoMoses, izizukulwana ezisithoba nesiqingatha sesizukulwana.

3Ngokuba uMoses wazinika ilifa izizwe ezibini ezinesiqingatha nganeno kweYordan, kodwa abaLevi akabanikanga lifa phakathi kwazo.

4Ngokuba oonyana bakaYosefu babezizizwe ezibini, uManase noEfrayim; Ke abaLevi ababanikanga sabelo ezweni elo, babanika kuphela imizi yokuhlala, namadlelo emfuyo yabo, nempahla yabo.

5Kanye njengoko uYehova wamyalelayo uMoses, benjenjalo oonyana bakaSirayeli baza balaba ilizwe.

6Beza oonyana bakaYuda kuYoshuwa eGiligali, wathi uKalebhi, unyana kaYefune, umKeni, kuye, Uyalazi wena ilizwi likaYehova, awalithethayo uYehova kuMoses, umfo wakwaThixo, ngawe nangawe, eKadeshe-bharneha.

7Ndandiminyaka imashumi mane ndizelwe, ekususweni kwam nguMoses umkhonzi kaYehova, eKadeshe-bharneha, ukuba ndeye kulihlola ilizwe; ndaza ndashumayela kuye kwakhona njengoko kwakusentliziyweni yam.

8Kodwa abazalwana bam, abanyuka nam, bayidimaza intliziyo yabantu, mna ke ndamlandela uYehova uThixo wam ngokupheleleyo.

9Wafunga ke uMoses ngaloo mini, esithi, Inene, ilizwe elinyathelwe lunyawo lwakho loba lelakho, nelifa loonyana bakho, kude kuse ephakadeni, ngokuba ukuzalisile ukumlandela uYehova uThixo wam.

10Khangela ke, uYehova undidlise ubomi le minyaka imashumi mane anamihlanu, njengoko wakuthethayo, kususela koko walithethayo uYehova elo lizwi kuMoses, oko oonyana bakaSirayeli babebhadule entlango; ngoku, yabona, ziintsuku ezimashumi asibhozo anambini neminyaka emihlanu.

11Unanamhla ndisomelele njengamini wandithumayo uMoses; njengoko ayenjalo amandla am oko, asenjalo nangoku amandla am okulwa, kwa-awokuphuma nawokubuya.

12Ke ngoko ndinike ezo ntaba wathetha zona uYehova ngaloo mini; ngenxa yokuba weva ngaloo mini ukuba ama-Anake ayelapho nokuba izixeko ezikhulu zenziwe iinqaba; ukuba uYehova ungakum, ndokwazi ukubagxotha, njengoko watshoyo uYehova.

13uYoshuwa wamsikelela, wamnika iHebron uKalebhi unyana kaYefune, ukuba ibe lilifa.

14Ngoko iHebron yaba lilifa likaKalebhi unyana kaYefune umKenazi de kube namhla, ngenxa yokuba wamlandela ngokupheleleyo uYehova uTHIXO kaSirayeli.

15Igama leHebron ngenxa engaphambili beliyiKiriyati-arbha; ke uArbha ebeyindoda enkulu phakathi kwama-Anaki. Laphumla ilizwe emfazweni.
