2 Umncele walesive loseningizimu bewusukela emaphetselweni eLwandle Lweluswayi,*+ kusuka elugwini lolubuke eningizimu.
3 Bewuhamba uye eningizimu emgwacweni lowenyukelako wase-Akrabhimu,+ wendlulele eZini, bese wenyukela eKhadeshi-bhaneya+ kusuka eningizimu, wendlulele eHesroni, wenyukele nase-Adari futsi ujike uye ngaseKhakha.
4 Lomncele bewubese wendlulela e-Asmoni,+ uchubeke uye eSigodzini* saseGibhithe,+ futsi bewuphelela eLwandle.* Lona-ke bekungumncele walesive sakaJuda loseningizimu.
5 Umncele wasemphumalanga bekuLwandle Lweluswayi* kuze kuyewufika lapho kuphela khona iJordane, kantsi umncele lobewuseluhlangotsini lwasenyakatfo bewuselugwini lwelwandle lapho kuphela khona iJordane.+
6 Lomncele bewenyukela eBhethi-hogla,+ wendlulele nasenyakatfo yeBhethi-arabha,+ futsi wenyuke uze uyewufika etjeni laBohani+ indvodzana yaRubeni.
7 Lomncele bewenyukela naseDebiri eSihosheni* sase-Akhori+ futsi ujikele enyakatfo uye eGilgali,+ lesembikwemgwaco lowenyukelako wase-Adumimu leseningizimu yalesigodzi. Bewendlulela nasemantini ase-Eni-shemeshi,+ ufike uphelele e-Eni-rogeli.+
8 Bewuphindze wenyukele eSigodzini seNdvodzana yaHinomu,+ uye endzaweni leyewukelako yemaJebhusi+ eningizimu, lokuyiJerusalema.+ Lomncele bewenyukela nasesicongweni sentsaba lebukene neSigodzi saHinomu kubheka enshonalanga, lesisemaphetselweni eSihosha* semaRefa kubheka enyakatfo.
9 Lomncele wasikwa kusukela esicongweni sentsaba kuya emtfonjeni wemanti aseNefithowa,+ wachubekela emadolobheni asentsabeni i-Efroni, futsi wasikwa waze wayofika eBhala, lokuyiKhiriyathi-jeyarimu.+
10 Lomncele wesuka eBhala wajikela enshonalanga futsi waya eNtsabeni iSeyiri, wendlulela endzaweni leyewukelako yaseNtsabeni iJeyarimu enyakatfo, lokuyiKhesaloni, futsi wehlela eBhethi-shemeshi+ wase wendlulela eThimna.+

12 Umncele bewusenshonalanga wawuseLwandle Lolukhulu*+ naselugwini lwalo. Lona-ke bekungumncele webantfwana baJuda ngemindeni yabo, kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi.
13 Joshuwa waniketa Khalebi+ indvodzana yaJefune lifa emkhatsini webantfwana baJuda njengobe Jehova bekashito. Lendzawo bekuyiKhiriyathi-abha (Abha abengubabe wa-Anaki), lokusho iHebroni.+
14 Ngako Khalebi wawacosha kuleyo ndzawo emadvodzana lamatsatfu a-Anaki:+ boSheshayi, Ahimani naThalmayi,+ lebebangema-Anaki.
15 Ngemuva kwaloko wesuka lapho, wakhuphuka wayokulwa nebantfu labahlala eDebiri.+ (Ekucaleni iDebiri beyibitwa ngekutsi yiKhiriyathi-seferi.)
16 Khalebi wabese utsi: “Umuntfu lotawuhlasela iKhiriyathi-seferi futsi ayincobe, ngitamendzisela Akhisa indvodzakati yami.”
17 Othniyeli+ indvodzana yaKhenazi+ lobekangumnakabo Khalebi wayincoba. Ngako Khalebi wamendzisela Akhisa+ indvodzakati yakhe.
18 Ngesikhatsi Akhisa aya ekhaya wancenga indvodza yakhe kutsi icele insimu kubabe wakhe. Ngemuva kwaloko Akhisa wehla embongolweni* lebekayigibele, futsi Khalebi wambuta watsi: “Ufunani?”+
19 Akhisa watsi: “Ngicela ungibusise. Njengobe unginikete indzawo eningizimu,* ngicela uphindze unginike neGulothi-mayimu.”* Ngako Khalebi wamniketa iGulothi Lengenhla kanye neGulothi Lengentasi.
