Bible Reading Plan – Day 63

₁Le yinkcukacha yokwabelwa kwamaSirayeli umhlaba waseKanana ongasentshonalanga kweJordan. Lo mhlaba wabelwa abantu nguElazare umbingeleli, noYoshuwa unyana kaNune, bekunye neentloko zezindlu zezizwe zamaSirayeli. ₂Umhlaba olilifa lezizwe ezilithoba elinesiqingatha wasikwa ngokwenza *amaqashiso ngokomyalelo *kaNdikhoyo kuMosis. _3-4Umhlaba ongasempumalanga kweJordan uMosis wayeselewabele izizwe ezibini ezinesiqingatha. (Inzala kaJosefu yayizizizwe ezibini: esakwaManase nesakwaEfrayim.) Kambe ke abaLevi bona uMosis akazange ababele mhlaba. Ndaweni yaloo nto babelwa izixeko bahlala kuzo, kunye namadlelo empahla. ₅AmaSirayeli awaba loo mhlaba kanye ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis.

₆Abantu besizwe sakwaJuda bafika kuYoshuwa eGiligali, uKalebhi unyana kaJefune umKenezi wathi kuYoshuwa: “Uyayazi into eyathethwa kuMosis umfo wakwaThixo *nguNdikhoyo mayela nawe kunye nam eKadeshe-bhaneya. ₇Ndandimashumi mane ubudala ngamhla uMosis wandithumayo ndesuka eKadeshe-bhaneya ndaza kuhlola lo mhlaba. Ndamphathela ingxelo ngokungafihlisi, ₈kuba ndamthobela ngomxhelo wam wonke uNdikhoyo uThixo. Kambe ke amadoda awayekunye nam abatsho bankwantya abantu. ₉Ke ngoko uMosis wafunga wathi kum: ‘Inene, laa mhlaba unyathele kuwo woba lilifa lakho ndawonye nenzala yakho ngonaphakade, kuba umthobele ngomxhelo wonke uNdikhoyo uThixo wam.’ ₁₀Ke uNdikhoyo usandigcinile njengoko wathembisayo. Kambe sekudlule amashumi amane anantlanu eminyaka oko uNdikhoyo wathetha loo nto kuMosis ngokuya amaSirayeli ayebhadula entlango. Ndim lo ke, ndimashumi asibhozo anantlanu eminyaka ndisidla amazimba, ₁₁kodwa ndisengumqabaqaba njengoko ndandinjalo ukundithuma kwakhe uMosis. Ndisomelele; ndingaya emfazweni, ndingenza nantoni na. ₁₂Ngoku ke ndabele eliya leentaba ndalithenjiswa nguNdikhoyo mhla ndenza ingxelo. Nawe ngokwakho weva ngaloo mini ukuba olwaa hlanga lweengxilimbela kuthiwa ngama-Anaki ayehlala apho ezixekweni ezikhulu ezingqingwe ngeendonga. Ukuba uNdikhoyo ungakum ndozichitha kanye njengoko yena watshoyo.”

₁₃UYoshuwa wamsikelela uKalebhi unyana kaJefune, wamabela iHebron yaba lilifa lakhe. ₁₄Unanamhla oku iHebron iseyeyenzala kaKalebhi unyana kaJefune umKenazi, kuba yena wamthobela ngomxhelo wonke uNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli. ₁₅Ngaphambili iHebron kwakusithiwa sisixeko sika-Arbha. (UArbha ngoyena mAnaki mkhulu.)

Kwabakho uxolo elizweni.

₁Nguwo lo umhlaba owabelwa izindlu zesizwe sakwaJuda *ngamaqashiso: Lo mhlaba waya kutsho kumda wase-Edom ezantsi kwentlango. ₂Lo mda wangasezantsi wawucanda kwincam engezantsi yoLwandle oluFileyo, ₃uhle ubheke ezantsi ukusuka kwiNkalo yooNomadudwana, ugqithele eZin. Wawutyhutyha amazantsi eKadeshe-bhaneya, udlule eHezeron, unyuke usinge eAdare, ujike ujonge ngaseKareka, ₄wenjenjeya usinga eAzemon, ugudle intlambo ekuthiwa yeyeJiputa, ujonge elwandle, apho ufika ume khona. Ngumda ongasezantsi wakwaJuda ke lowo.

₅Umda wangasempumalanga wawuluLwandle oluFileyo, wenjenjeya uye kutsho apho umlambo iJordan ungena khona elwandle.

Wawuqala apho umda wangasentla, ₆unyuke ubheke ngaseBhete-hogela, ubheke entla eBhete-arabha. Wawusuka apho unyukele kwiLitye likaBhohan (uBhohan ngunyana kaRubhen), ₇usuke ngakwintili yeAkore, unyukele eDebhiri, uze ujike ujonge emantla ngaseGiligali. IGiligali le yayijonge inkalo yeAdumim esemazantsi omfula lowo. Wawugqithela kwimithombo yase-En-shemeshe, wenjenjeya ukuya e-En-rogele, ₈uze unyuke utyhutyhe intili yoonyana bakaHinom esethambekeni lenduli ekwakumi kuyo isixeko samaJebhusi (yiJerusalem ke leyo), usuke apho unyuse intaba, utsho encotsheni ngakwicala langasentshona lentili iHinom ngasentla kumaphethelo entili yamaRafa. ₉Usuka apho usinge emthonjeni waseNefetowa, ugqithele kwizixeko ezingakwintaba iEfron. Uyajika apho, ubheke ngaseBhala (oko kukuthi iKiriyati-yarim), ₁₀apho ujikela ngasentshonalanga yeBhala, ujonge kwintaba iSeyire, uphume kwicala elingasentla lentaba iYarim (oko kukuthi iKesalon), uhle uye eBhete-shemeshe, ugqithele eTimna. ₁₁Lo mda wawunyuka uye kwinduli engasentla kwe-Ekron, ujike ujonge eShikeron, udlule intaba iBhala, wenjenjeya ukusinga eYabheneli. Wawuhamba uyokuma ngolwandle ₁₂olwalungumda wangasentshonalanga.

Ngaphakathi kwale mida kwakuhlala abantu bezindlu zikaJuda.

₁₃Inxalenye yommandla wakwaJuda wabelwa uKalebhi unyana kaJefune wesizwe sakwaJuda, ngokomyalelo *kaNdikhoyo kuYoshuwa. Wabelwa iHebron, isixeko sika-Arbha, uyise ka-Anaki. ₁₄UKalebhi wayikhuphela ngaphandle kweso sixeko inzala ka-Anaki. YayinguSheshayi, uAhiman, noTalmayi. ₁₅Wesuka apho waya kuhlasela abantu ababehlala eDebhiri ekwakusithiwa yiKiriyati-sefere mandulo. ₁₆UKalebhi wathi: “Intombi yam uAkesa ndoyendisela kumntu oya kuze ayihlasele ayithimbe iKiriyati-sefere.” ₁₇UOteniyeli unyana womntakwabo-Kalebhi uKenazi wasithimba ke eso sixeko, waza uKalebhi wayendisela kuye intombi yakhe uAkesa. ₁₈Bakuba betshatile wacenga uOteniyeli amvumele acele umhlaba kuyise. Wehla kwidonki awayekhwele kuyo uAkesa, waza uKalebhi wabuza wathi: “Kwenzeke ntoni?”

₁₉Wathi ukuphendula uAkesa: “Ndicela intsikelelo. Kaloku umhlaba ondinike wona ukwindawo ebharhileyo. Nceda undinike imithombo.” UKalebhi ke wamnika imithombo angasentla nengasezantsi.

₂₀Lo ngumhlaba owabelwe izindlu zesizwe sakwaJuda, waba lilifa lazo:

₄₅IEkron yayingqongwe zizixeko kunye neelali, ₄₆kukho nezinye izixeko neelali ngaseAshdode, ukusuka e-Ekron kuse elwandle.

₄₇Yayikwalapho iAshdode kunye neGaza kwanezixeko neelali zazo, zithe thande de kuye kuthi xhaxhe kwintlambo ekuthiwa yeyeJiputa nakunxweme lolwandle.

₆₃Kodwa ke kambe amaJuda akazanga aba nako ukuwagxotha amaJebhusi awayemi eJerusalem. Asahlala apho nangoku kunye noonyana bakaJuda.

₁Umda ongezantsi womhlaba owabelwa inzala kaJosefu wawuqala eJordan kufuphi neJeriko, kwindawo eyayikwicala langasempumalanga yemithombo yaseJeriko, wenjenjeya ubhekisa ngasentlango. Wasuka eJeriko walityhutyha eleentaba ukusa eBhetele. ₂Ukusuka eBhetele (ekwakuthiwa yiLuzi) wadlulela eAtaroti, apho ayemi khona ama-Arki. ₃Wehla wajonga ngasentshona kummandla wamaYafeleti, waya kuma kummandla waseBhete-horon engasezantsi. Wedlula apho ujonge eGezere, waya kuma ngolwandle.

₄Lo mhlaba waba lilifa lenzala kaJosefu, izizwe zakwaEfrayim noManase.

₅Nanku ummandla wezindlu zakwaEfrayim: Umda wabo wawusuka eAtaroti-adare ubheke ngasempumalanga eBhete-horon ekumantla, ₆usuke apho uye kutsho elwandle. Ngasemantla apho yayiyiMikemetati, kuthi ngasempumalanga yalapho ujike umda ujonge iTanati-shilo, udlule apho kwangasempuma yalapho, ujonge eYanowa. ₇Ukusuka apho uyehla ubheke eAtaroti naseNara, ugqithe eJeriko, uye kuma ngeJordan. ₈Apho umda wawucanda ngasentshonalanga ukusuka ngaseTapuwa, ubheke kwintlambo iKana, uye kuma ngolwandle. Nguwo ke lowo umhlaba owaba lilifa lezindlu zesizwe sakwaEfrayim. ₉Iidolophu neelali ezazikwimida yakwaManase zanikwa uEfrayim. ₁₀Abazange bawagxothe amaKanana awayemi eGezere. Ahlala ke namaEfrayim kwada kwakaloku amaKanana, kodwa ênza umsebenzi ngokunyanzelwa.

₁Inxalenye yomhlaba ongasentshonalanga kweJordan wabelwa ezinye izindlu zezindlu eziyinzala yonyana omkhulu kaJosefu uManase *ngamaqashiso. UMakire, uyise kaGiliyadi, wayengunyana omkhulu kaManase, umfo oligorha emfazweni. Yiyo ke loo nto wabelwa iGiliyadi neBhashan, ezingasempumalanga kweJordan. ₂Umhlaba ongasentshonalanga kweJordan wona wabelwa inxalenye yezindlu zesizwe sakwaManase: ooAbhiyezere, Heleki, Aseriyeli, Shekem, Hefere, noShemida. Aba ngokwezindlu zabo yayingabazukulwana abangamadoda bakaManase unyana kaJosefu. ₃UZelofehadi unyana kaHefere, ozalwa nguGiliyadi unyana kaMakire ozalwa nguManase, yena akazanga azale madoda, yaba ziintombi zodwa. Nanga amagama azo: uMala, noNowa, uHogela, noMilika, kunye noTirza. ₄Zaya kuElazare umbingeleli, bekunye noYoshuwa unyana kaNune kwaneenkokheli, zafika zathi: “*UNdikhoyo uyalele uMosis ngelithi nathi aze asabele umhlaba kunye nezizalwana zethu ezingamadoda.” Ke ngoko zawunikwa umhlaba kwanjenge-zizalwana zabo ezingamadoda njengoko uNdikhoyo wayetshilo.

₅Isizwe sakwaManase saba nezabelo ezilishumi nje ukongezelela kwiGiliyadi neBhashan engasempumalanga kweJordan, ₆kungenxa yokuba abazukulwana bakaManase abaziintombi nabangamadoda babelwa umhlaba. Umhlaba waseGiliyadi wona wabelwa enye inxalenye yabazukulwana bakaManase.

₇Ummandla wesizwe sakwaManase wawusuka eAshere use eMikemetati ngasempumalanga yeShekem. Umda wawusihla uye ngasezantsi, uquke bonke abantu base-En-tapuwa. ₈Umhlaba owawungqinge iTapuwa wawungowakwaManase, kodwa sona isixeko saseTapuwa esisemdeni sasisesenzala kaEfrayim. ₉Wawusihla loo mda ubheke ezantsi ngakwintlambo iKana. Izixeko ezingezantsi kwaloo ntlambo yayizezakwaEfrayim, nakuba zazikummandla wakwaManase nje. Umda wakwaManase wawucanda ngakwicala elingasentla kwaloo ntlambo, uye kuma ngolwandle. ₁₀Isizwe sakwaEfrayim sasingasezantsi, esakwaManase sona singasentla, ulwandle lungasentshona. UAshere wayemi ngasentla koManase, uIsakare emi ngasempuma. ₁₁Ngaphakathi kwemida yakwaIsakare nakwa-Ashere iBhete-shan kunye neIbleyam, neelali ezizingqongileyo, yayizezakwaManase, kwakunye neDore engaselwandle, ne-Endore, iTanaki, iMegido, kwaneelali ezizijikelezileyo. ₁₂Isizwe sakwaManase kambe asizanga sibe nako ukubagxotha abemi bezo zixeko, kuba amaKanana ayezimisele ukuhlala khona. ₁₃Naxa amaSirayeli selenamandla, akabanga nako ukuzithimba ezo zixeko zamaKanana, kambe awanyanzela ukuba abe zizicaka.

₁₄Bathi kuYoshuwa abazukulwana bakaJosefu: “Ngani ukuba usinike isiqwenga sibe sinye somhlaba, ukanti sibaninzi kangaka ngenxa yokuthamsanqeliswa kunene *nguNdikhoyo?”

₁₅Wathi uYoshuwa: “Ukuba nibaninzi kangangokuba neleentaba lakwaEfrayim lingananeli, yiyani emahlathini, nifike nigece nizivulele umhlaba kwelamaPerezi namaRafa.”

₁₆Baphendula bathi: “Eliya leentaba aliphangalele kangangokuba lingasanela, kanti ke phaya ezintilini amaKanana aneenqwelo zentsimbi, la ahlala eBhete-shan nalawa ahlala kule ntili yeYizereli xa ewonke.”

₁₇Wathi uYoshuwa kubo: “Ngenene, ndlu kaJosefu, nina zinto zikaEfrayim nani zinto zikaManase, nibaninzi, yaye ninamandla. Niza kusongezwa isabelo senu. ₁₈Eleentaba lelenu, nditsho lilihlathi linjalo. Kufuneka niligece nime kulo lonke. AmaKanana wona kufuneka niwagxothe, nditsho enezo nqwelo zentsimbi, omelele enjalo.”
