Dutheronomi 3:1-29
3 “Sabese siyesuka sakhuphuka ngeNdlela yaseBhashani. Ogi, inkhosi yaseBhashani waphuma akanye nabo bonkhe bantfu bakhe kuze alwe natsi e-Edreyi.+
2 Ngako Jehova watsi kimi: ‘Ningamesabi, ngobe ngitawunikela yena nabo bonkhe bantfu bakhe kanye nelive lakhe esandleni senu, futsi nitakwenta kuye loko lenakwenta kuSihoni, inkhosi yema-Amori lobekahlala eHeshboni.’
3 Ngaleyo ndlela Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu wanikela Ogi inkhosi yaseBhashani kanye nabo bonkhe bantfu bakhe esandleni setfu. Sachubeka sibabulala kwaze kwangasali ngisho namunye kubo.
4 Sabese sitsatsa onkhe emadolobha akhe, kute ngisho nalinye lesingazange silitsatse. Kwakungemadolobha langu-60 aseBhashani,+ lokungiso sonkhe sifundza sase-Agobhu lesisembusweni wa-Ogi.
5 Onkhe lamadolobha abevikelwe ngelubondza loluphakeme, ngemagede kanye nemishudo, futsi kwakunalamanye emadolobha lamanyenti langakabiyelwa.
6 Kodvwa sawanikela ekubhujisweni,+ njengobe besentile kuSihoni inkhosi yaseHeshboni ngesikhatsi siwanikela ekubhujisweni onkhe emadolobha akhe, lokufaka ekhatsi emadvodza, bafati kanye nebantfwana.+
7 Saphindze satsatsa yonkhe imfuyo kanye netintfo lesatitfola kulawo madolobha, kwaba kwetfu.
8 “Ngaleso sikhatsi satsatsa nelive lemakhosi lamabili ema-Amori+ labesesifundzeni saseJordane, kusukela eSigodzini sase-Anoni kuya eNtsabeni iHemoni+
9 (lentsaba emaSidoni abeyibita ngekutsi yiSiriyoni, ema-Amori wona ayibita ngekutsi yiSeniri),
10 satsatsa onkhe emadolobha labesetintsabeni, nayo yonkhe iGileyadi, kanye nayo yonkhe iBhashani kuze kuyewufika eSalekha nase-Edreyi,+ lokungemadolobha labesembusweni wa-Ogi eBhashani.
11 Ogi inkhosi yaseBhashani besekunguye wekugcina losele kumaRefa. Luhlaka lwekumngcwaba* belwentiwe ngensimbi* futsi nalamuhla lusekhona eRabha, lokuyindzawo yema-Amoni. Loluhlaka lungemamitha langaba mane* budze kanye nemamitha langaba mabili* bubanti, ngekwesikali lesisemtsetfweni.
12 Ngaleso sikhatsi satsatsa lelive laba letfu, kusukela e-Aroyeri+ lengaseSigodzini sase-Anoni, kanye nencenye yesifundza saseGileyadi lesinetintsaba, futsi emadolobha alo ngiwanikete sive sakaRubeni nesakaGadi.+
13 Incenye yesive sakaManase+ ngiyinike indzawo yaseGileyadi lebeseyisele kanye nayo yonkhe iBhashani, lesembusweni wa-Ogi. Sonkhe sifundza sase-Agobhu lesiseBhashani besatiwa ngekutsi live lemaRefa.
14 “Jayire+ indvodzana yaManase wasitsatsa sonkhe sifundza sase-Agobhu+ waze wayewufika emnceleni wemaGeshuri kanye nemaMakhathi,+ futsi leto tindzawo taseBhashani watetsa ngelibito lakhe. Kuze kube ngulamuhla tibitwa ngekutsi yiHavothi-jayire.*+
15 IGileyadi yona ngiyinikete Makhire.+
16 Sive sakaRubeni nesakaGadi+ ngisinike indzawo lesuka eGileyadi kuya eSigodzini sase-Anoni, futsi umncele wayo usemkhatsini walesigodzi. Lendzawo ichubekela naseJabhoki, lokusigodzi lesingumncele wema-Amoni,
17 iphindze ichubekele nase-Arabha, naseJordane kanye nasendzaweni leseceleni kwayo, kusukela eKhinerethi kuye eLwandle Lwase-Arabha, lokuLwandle Lweluswayi* lolungephansi kwePhisga ngasemphumalanga.+
18 “Ngabese nginitjela nangu umyalo: ‘Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu uninike lelive kutsi libe lenu. Onkhe emadvodza lanemandla emkhatsini wenu atawutsatsa tikhali futsi ewele embikwabomnakenu, ema-Israyeli.+
19 Bafati benu, bantfwana benu kanye nemfuyo yenu (ngati kahle kutsi ninemfuyo lenyenti) ngibo kuphela labatawuchubeka bahleti kulamadolobha lengininike wona,
20 kuze kube ngulapho Jehova anika bomnakenu kuthula njengobe nje entile kini, futsi nabo sebalitsetse laba labo lelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latawubanika lona ngesheya kweJordane. Ngemuva kwaloko nguloyo naloyo kini sekangabuyela endzaweni yakhe lengimnike yona.’+
21 “Ngaleso sikhatsi, naku lengakusho kuJoshuwa:+ ‘Wena utibonele ngewakho loko Jehova Nkulunkulu wakho lakwentile kulamakhosi lamabili. Jehova utawukwenta intfo lefanako nakuyo yonkhe lemibuso lenitakwewela niye kuyo.+
22 Kufanele ningayesabi, ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu nguye lonilwelako.’+
23 “Ngaleso sikhatsi ngancenga Jehova ngatsi:
24 ‘Awu Nkhosi Lephakeme Jehova, sewuvele ucalile kukhombisa inceku yakho bukhulu bakho kanye nesandla sakho lesinemandla,+ ngobe ngumuphi nje lomunye nkulunkulu emazulwini nobe emhlabeni lowenta tintfo letinkhulu kangaka njengawe?+
25 Ngicela ungivumele ngewele futsi ngibone lelive lelihle lelingesheya kweJordane, lesifundza lesihle lesinetintsaba kanye neLebanoni.’+
26 Kodvwa Jehova abesolo angitfukutselele ngenca yenu,+ ngako akazange angilalele kulebengikusho. Kunaloko Jehova watsi kimi: ‘Sekwenele! Ungaphindze ukhulume nami ngalendzaba.
27 Khuphukela esicongweni sePhisga,+ ubuke enshonalanga, enyakatfo, eningizimu kanye nasemphumalanga, ubuke lelive ngobe ngeke uyewele leJordane.+
28 Beka Joshuwa+ kutsi abe ngumholi, umkhutsate uphindze umcinise ngobe nguye lotakwewela+ embikwalabantfu futsi nguye lotawubangenisa kulelive lotalibona.’
29 Konkhe loku kwenteka ngesikhatsi sisahleti esigodzini lesisembikweBhethi-pheyori.+
