₁Kwathi lapho uJabini inkosi yaseHasori ekuzwa lokho, wathumela kuJobabi inkosi yaseMadoni, nakuyo inkosi yaseShimroni, nakuyo inkosi yase-Akishafu, ₂nakuwo amakhosi angasenyakatho ezintabeni, nase-Araba ngaseningizimu kwaseKinereti, nasemathafeni, nasezintabeni zaseDori ngasentshonalanga, ₃nakuwo amaKhanani ngasempumalanga nangasentshonalanga, nakuwo ama-Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaJebusi ezintabeni, namaHivi ngaphansi kweHermoni ezweni laseMispa. ₄Aphuma wona nawo onke amabandla awo enawo, abantu abaningi, bengangesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle ngobuningi, namahhashi nezinqola eziningi kakhulu. ₅Onke lawo makhosi ahlangana, eza amisa ndawonye ngasemanzini aseMerome ukuba alwe no-Israyeli.

₆UJehova wathi kuJoshuwa: “Ungesabi ngenxa yabo, ngokuba kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngizakubanikela bonke bebulewe ngaphambi kuka-Israyeli; wena uyakunquma amahhashi abo imisipha, uzishise izinqola zabo ngomlilo.”

₇Wayesefika uJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bempi benaye, babazuma ngasemanzini aseMerome, babadumela. ₈UJehova wabanikela esandleni sakwa-Israyeli, babanqoba, babaxosha kwaze kwaba seSidoni Elikhulu, naseMisirefoti Mayimi, nasesigodini saseMispa ngasempumalanga, bababulala, abaze bamshiyela noyedwa owasalayo. ₉UJoshuwa wenza kubo njengokumyala kukaJehova: wanquma amahhashi abo imisipha, wazishisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo.

₁₀UJoshuwa wabuya ngaleso sikhathi, wathatha iHasori, wabulala inkosi yalo ngenkemba, ngokuba iHasori laliyinhloko yayo yonke leyo mibuso kuqala. ₁₁Bachitha bonke ababekulo ngosiko lwenkemba, babaqothula, akusalanga noyedwa ophefumulayo; walishisa iHasori ngomlilo.

₁₂Yonke imizi yalawo makhosi nawo onke amakhosi ayo uJoshuwa wakuthatha, wakuchitha ngosiko lwenkemba, wakuqothula njengokuyala kukaMose inceku kaJehova. ₁₃Kepha imizi eyayimi emagqumeni ayo u-Israyeli akashisanga namunye kuyo ngaphandle kweHasori kuphela; lowo uJoshuwa wawushisa. ₁₄Impango yonke yale mizi nezinkomo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baziphangela khona; kepha bachitha bonke abantu ngosiko lwenkemba baze babaqeda; abashiyanga noyedwa ophefumulayo. ₁₅Njengalokho uJehova ebemyalile uMose inceku yakhe, kanjalo uMose wamyala uJoshuwa; noJoshuwa wenze njalo; akayekanga into neyodwa kukho konke uJehova amyala ngakho uMose.

₁₆UJoshuwa wathatha-ke lonke lelo zwe, izintaba, neNingizimu yonke, nalo lonke izwe laseGosheni, namathafa, ne-Araba, nezintaba zakwa-Israyeli, namathafa akhe, ₁₇kusukela entabeni yaseHalaki kwenyukela eSeyiri, yebo, naseBali Gadi esigodini saseLebanoni ngaphansi kwentaba yaseHermoni; onke amakhosi abo wawathatha, wawagenca, wawabulala. ₁₈UJoshuwa walwa isikhathi eside nawo onke lawo makhosi. ₁₉Akwabakho muzi owenza ukuthula nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngaphandle kwamaHivi akhileyo eGibeyoni; bayinqoba yonke ngokulwa. ₂₀Ngokuba kwavela kuJehova ukwenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo ukuba bahlangabezane no-Israyeli ngokulwa, ukuze abaqothule, angabahawukeli, kepha abachithe, njengalokho uJehova ebemyalile uMose.

₂₁UJoshuwa wafika ngaleso sikhathi, wanquma ama-Anaki ezintabeni eHebroni, naseDebiri, nase-Anabi, nasezintabeni zakwaJuda, nasezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wawaqothula kanye nemizi yawo. ₂₂Akusalanga noyedwa kuwo ama-Anaki ezweni labantwana bakwa-Israyeli; asala eGaza kuphela, naseGati, nase-Ashidodi. ₂₃Wathatha-ke uJoshuwa izwe lonke njengakho konke uJehova abekukhulumile kuMose; uJoshuwa walinika u-Israyeli libe yifa lakhe ngokwezabelo zabo nezizwe zabo. Izwe lase liphumula ekulweni.

₂“Leli liyizwe elisasele: amazwe onke amaFilisti nawo onke amaGeshuri, ₃kusukela eSihori elingaphambi kweGibithe kuze kube semkhawulweni wase-Ekroni ngasenyakatho, elibalelwa kumaKhanani, amakhosi ayisihlanu amaFilisti: amaGaza, nama-Ashidodi, nama-Ashikeloni, namaGiti, nama-Ekroni, nama-Avi, ₄lonke izwe lamaKhanani ngaseningizimu neMehara elingelamaSidoni kuze kufike e-Afeki nasemkhawulweni wama-Amori, ₅nezwe lamaGebali nalo lonke iLebanoni ngasempumalanga, kusukela eBali Gadi ngaphansi kwentaba yaseHermoni kuze kufike ekuyeni eHamati, ₆bonke abakhileyo ezintabeni, kusukela eLebanoni kuze kube seMisirefoti Mayimi, onke amaSidoni; mina ngiyakuwaxosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wena-ke ulabele abakwa-Israyeli ngenkatho, libe yifa njengokukuyala kwami. ₇Ngalokho yahlukanisa leli zwe libe yifa lezizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nelenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase.”
