1uYoshuwa unyana kaNun wesusa amadoda amabini aziintlola, wathi ngasese, Hambani niye kulikhangela ilizwe laseYeriko. Ahamba ke afika endlwini yehenyukazi eligama linguRahabhi, ahlala khona.

2Waxelelwa ukumkani waseYeriko, kwathiwa, Yabonani, kufike apha amadoda akoonyana bakaSirayeli ngobu busuku, eza kulihlola ilizwe.

3Wathumela ukumkani waseYeriko kuRahabhi, esithi, Wakhuphe amadoda afikileyo kuwe, angenileyo endlwini yakho; ngokuba eze kuhlola ihlabathi lonke.

4Yawathabatha inkazana loo madoda omabini, yawafihla, isithi, Bekukho amadoda abesiza kum, phofu bendingawazi apho abevela khona.

5Lakuba livaliwe isango, kwakuba mnyama, aphuma amadoda; Bendingazi ukuba aye phi na loo madoda; ngokuba uya kufikelela kubo.

6Wawazisa eluphahleni lwendlu, wawafihla phezu kweendiza zeflakisi, abezilungelelanisile eluphahleni.

7Awasukela loo madoda ngendlela yaseYordan, esa emdeni; baphuma ke abo basukelayo, balivala isango.

8Ngaphambi kokuba baye kulala, wenyuka waya kubabona phezu kwendlu.

9Wathi kuloo madoda, Ndiyazi ukuba uYehova uninikile eli lizwe, nokuba ukulinda kwenu kube phezu kwethu, nokuba bafa bonke abemi belizwe ngenxa yenu.

10Kuba sivile ukuba iNkosi yanitshisela amanzi olwandle lwaseGalili ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa; noko nakwenzayo kookumkani ababini bama-Amori, ababephesheya kweYordan, uSihon no-Ogi, enabaqalekisayo.

11Sithe ke sakuziva ezi zinto, zanyibilika iintliziyo zethu, akwabakho kuqina kwamxhelo mntwini ngenxa yenu; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wenu nguye uThixo emazulwini phezulu, nasehlabathini phantsi apha.

12Ndifungeleni ke uYehova, ekubeni ndinenzele inceba, ukuba nani niya kuyenzela inceba indlu kabawo nindinike umqondiso wenyaniso;

13nokuba usindise ubawo noma, nabantakwethu, neento zonke abanazo, usisindise ekufeni.

14Athi kuye loo madoda, Siphila ngawe, ukuba anithanga nisixele. Yaye ukuba uYehova usinike eli lizwe, siya kunikhonza ngobubele nangokunyaniseka.

15Wabahlisa ke ngefestile ngentsontelo, ngokuba indlu yakhe yayingaseludongeni lomzi, ibe yena ehleli eludongeni.

16Wathi kubo, Hambani niye entabeni, banganihlanganisi abanitshutshisayo; zimele apho iintsuku ezintathu, bade babuye abo banisukelayo; kwaye emva koko ungahamba.

17Athi loo madoda kuye, Asinatyala thina ngesi sifungo sakho osifungise kuthi.

18Uyabona, sakungena kweli lizwe, ubophe le ntsontelo ibomvu efestileni obusihlise ngayo; ngenisa uyihlo nonyoko nabantakwenu nosapho lwakho lonke ekhaya eya kuwe.

19Osukuba ephuma emnyango wendlu yakho, esiya phandle, igazi lakhe loba phezu kwentloko yakhe, sibe msulwa thina; osukuba ekuwe endlwini, igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwentloko yethu, ukuba kuthe kwasiwa sandla kuye.

20Ukuba uthe wasixelela ngale nto, sokhululeka esifungweni sakho owasifungayo.

21Wathi yena, Kungokwamazwi enu. Wabandulula ke bemka; waza wabophelela umtya obomvu efestileni.

22Ahamba ke aya entabeni, ahlala khona iintsuku zantathu, bada babuya abo bawasukelayo; baza abatshutshisi babafuna endleleni yonke, ababafumana.

23Abuya amadoda lawo omabini, ehla entabeni, awela, afika kuYoshuwa unyana kaNun, amxelela yonke into eyenzeka kuwo.

24Athi kuYoshuwa: “Okunene, uYehova ulinikele esandleni sethu lonke ilizwe elo; ngokuba bathe ngenxa yethu bonke abemi behlabathi.
