1Labizelwa ndawonye lonke ibandla loonyana bakaSirayeli eShilo, bayimisa khona intente yokuhlangana. Kwaye ihlabathi loyiswa phambi kwabo.

2Kwasala phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli izizwe ezisixhenxe ezazingekanikwa lifa lazo.

3Wathi uYoshuwa koonyana bakaSirayeli, Kuya kuda kube nini na nilibele ukulidla ilifa ilizwe elo aninikileyo uYehova uThixo wooyihlo?

4Ndinike amadoda abe mathathu esizweni ngasinye, ndiwathume, anduluke alicenge ilizwe, alibhale ngokwelifa lawo yaye baya kubuyela kum.

5Aya kulahlula libe ziinxalenye ezisixhenxe: uYuda uya kuhlala kummandla wakhe ngasezantsi, indlu kaYosefu ime kummandla wayo ngasentla.

6Wolibhala ilizwe libe ziinxalenye ezisixhenxe, nizizise kum ukuqonda, ukuze ndenze ngokwamaqashiso phambi koYehova uThixo wethu.

7Ke abaLevi abanasabelo kuni; ngokuba ilifa labo bububingeleli bukaYehova; yaye uGadi noRubhen nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase banikwa ilifa labo nganeno kweYordan ngasempumalanga, awabanika lona uMoses umkhonzi kaYehova.

8Asuka amadoda lawo, emka; uYoshuwa wabawisela umthetho abo baza kulibhala ilizwe, wathi, Hambani nelizwe, nilibhale, nibuyele kum, ndinenzele amaqashiso apha phambi koYehova, Shilo.

9Ahamba amadoda lawo, alityhutyha ilizwe, alibhala encwadini ngokwemizi yawo, abe ngamacandelo asixhenxe; abuyela kuYoshuwa ekulweni eShilo.

10Wawawisela amaqashiso uYoshuwa eShilo phambi koYehova, uYoshuwa wababela ilizwe oonyana bakaSirayeli ngokwezabelo zabo khona.

11Laphuma iqashiso lesizwe soonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokwemizalwane yabo; umda welifa labo waphuma phakathi koonyana bakaYuda noonyana bakaYosefu.

12Umda wabo wathabathela eYordan; yaye umda unyuka uye kwicala laseYeriko ngasemntla uze unyuke iintaba ngasentshona; ukuma kwawo, kwaba sentlango yaseBhetaven.

13Umda waphuma khona, waya eLuse, ecaleni kweLuse ngasezantsi: yiBheteli ke lero; yaye umda wehla uye eAtaroti-adare ngasendulini esemzantsi weBhete-horon ezantsi.

14Wahlaba umda, wajika waya embombeni yolwandle, waya ngasezantsi, usuka entabeni engaseBhete-horon ngasezantsi; waphuma, waya eKiriyati-bhahali, oko kukuthi, iKiriyati-yeharim, umzi woonyana bakaYuda; yayiyiwadi yasentshona.

15Icala lasezantsi lathabathela ekupheleni kweKiriyati-yeharim, waphuma umda waya entshonalanga, wegqitha waya equleni laseNefetoa.

16Wehla umda waya ekupheleni kwentaba phambi kwentlambo yonyana kaHinom entlanjeni yeeNefili ngasemntla, yaye wehla waya kwintlambo kaHinom entlanjeni yaseYebhusi uye ngasezantsi wehle uye e-Enerogele;

17Wesuka entla, waphuma waya e-Enesem, waphuma waya eGeliloti, malunga nethambeka laseAdumim, wehla waya engxondorheni kaBhohan unyana kaRubhen.

18Wegqitha waya egxalabeni leArabha, waya ngasentla, wehla waya eArabha;

19wegqitha umda waya egxalabeni laseBhete-hogela ngasentla; umda wegqitha waya encamini engasentla yoLwandle lweTyuwa, ekupheleni kweYordan ngasezantsi; yayilunxweme lwasezantsi.

20iYordan yaba ngumda walo ngasempumalanga. Lilo elo ilifa loonyana bakaBhenjamin, nelizwe lakhe kwizizukulwana zabo.

21Imizi yesizwe soonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokwezindlu zabo yayiyiYeriko, neBhete-hogela, nomfula wamaKetsi;

22neBhete-rabha, neShemarayim, neBheteli;

23noAvim, nePara, neOfra,

24neKefarha-amonayi, neOfeni, neGebha; imizi elishumi elinamibini, inemizana yayo;

25iGibheyon, neRama, neBheroti;

26neMizpa, neKefira, noMoses;

27noRekem, noIrepeli, noTarara;

28neSela, ne-Elefe, neYebhusi (yiYerusalem ke leyo), neGibheya, neKiriyati; izixeko ezilishumi elinesine nemizana yazo. Lilo elo ilifa loonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokweenzala zabo.
