₁Lawa angamafa abawathathayo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseKhanani abababela wona u-Eleyazare umpristi, noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, nezinhloko zawoyise bezizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ₂ngenkatho yefa labo, njengalokho uJehova ebeyalile ngesandla sikaMose ngezizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nangenxenye yesizwe. ₃Ngokuba uMose wayezinikile izizwe ezimbili nenxenye yesizwe ifa ngaphesheya kweJordani, kepha amaLevi akawanikanga ifa phakathi kwabo. ₄Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJosefa babe yizizwe ezimbili, oManase no-Efrayimi; abawanikanga amaLevi isabelo ezweni, kuphela imizi ukuhlala kuyo, namadlelo ayo ezinkomo zawo, neyemfuyo yawo. ₅Njengalokho uJehova amyala uMose, benze njalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bahlukanisa izwe.

₆AbakwaJuda basondela kuJoshuwa eGiligali; uKalebi indodana kaJefune, umKhenizi, wathi kuye: “Uyalazi wena izwi uJehova alikhuluma kuMose umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngami nangawe eKadeshi Barineya. ₇Ngangineminyaka engamashumi amane lapho uMose, inceku kaJehova, wangithuma ngisuka eKadeshi Barineya ukuba ngihlole izwe, ngabuyisela izwi kuye njengokusenhliziyweni yami. ₈Kepha abafowethu abakhuphuka nami baqeda amandla enhliziyo yabantu, kodwa mina ngamlandela uJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngokupheleleyo. ₉UMose wafunga ngalolo suku, wathi: ‘Impela izwe unyawo lwakho olunyathele kulo liyakuba yifa lakho nelabantwana bakho kuze kube phakade, ngokuba umlandele uJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngokupheleleyo.’

₁₀“Manje bheka, uJehova ungisindisile njengokusho kwakhe le minyaka engamashumi amane nanhlanu, selokhu uJehova akhuluma leli zwi kuMose, u-Israyeli esahamba ehlane; bheka, manje sengineminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu namuhla. ₁₁Ngisenamandla namuhla njengasosukwini uMose angithuma ngalo; njengamandla ami ngaleso sikhathi anjalo amandla ami manje ekulweni, ekuphumeni nasekungeneni. ₁₂Ngalokho nginike manje le ntaba uJehova akhuluma ngayo ngalolo suku, ngokuba wezwa wena ngalolo suku ukuthi ama-Anaki ayelapho enemizi emikhulu ebiyelweyo; mhlawumbe uJehova uyakuba nami, ngiwaxoshe njengokukhuluma kukaJehova.”

₁₃UJoshuwa wambusisa, wamnika uKalebi indodana kaJefune iHebroni libe yifa lakhe. ₁₄Ngalokho iHebroni laba yifa likaKalebi indodana kaJefuni, umKhenizi, kuze kube namuhla, ngokuba wamlandela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngokupheleleyo. ₁₅Igama leHebroni laliyiKiriyati Araba kuqala ngomuntu owayemkhulu kuwo ama-Anaki.

Izwe lase liphumula ekulweni.

₁Isabelo sesizwe sabantwana bakwaJuda ngemindeni yabo sasingasemkhawulweni wakwa-Edomi nasehlane laseSini ngaseningizimu, ngasekupheleni kweningizimu.

₅Umkhawulo wasempumalanga wawuluLwandle Lukasawoti kuze kufike ekugcineni kweJordani.

₁₂Umkhawulo wasentshonalanga wawuluLwandle Olukhulu nogu lwalo. Lokho kungumkhawulo wabantwana bakwaJuda nxazonke ngemindeni yabo.

₁₃Wamnika uKalebi indodana kaJefune isabelo phakathi kwabantwana bakwaJuda njengesiyalezo sikaJehova kuJoshuwa, umuzi ka-Araba uyise ka-Anaki, oyiHebroni. ₁₄UKalebi waxosha khona amadodana amathathu ka-Anaki, oSheshayi, no-Ahimani, noTalimayi, abantwana bakwa-Anaki. ₁₅Wasuka lapho, wenyukela kwabakhileyo eDebiri; igama leDebiri laliyiKiriyati Seferi kuqala. ₁₆UKalebi wathi: “Onqoba iKiriyati Seferi, alithathe, yena ngiyakumnika u-Akisa indodakazi yami abe ngumkakhe.” ₁₇U-Otheniyeli indodana kaKenazi umfowabo kaKalebi walithatha; wayesemnika u-Akisa indodakazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe. ₁₈Kwathi ekufikeni kwakhe wamnxusa ukuba acele insimu kuyise; wehla embongolweni yakhe; uKalebi wathi kuye: “Ukhala ngani?”

₁₉Wathi: “Ngiphe isipho; lokhu unginike izwe laseningizimu, ngiphe nemithombo yamanzi.” Wamupha imithombo yasenhla nemithombo yasenzansi.

₆₃AmaJebusi ayakhe eJerusalema abantwana bakwaJuda babengenakuwaxosha, kepha amaJebusi ahlala nabantwana bakwaJuda eJerusalema kuze kube namuhla.

₁Isabelo sabantwana bakwaJosefa sasuka eJordani ngaseJeriko emanzini aseJeriko ngasempumalanga, ihlane elenyuka eJeriko ezintabeni ukuya eBethele; ₂saphuma eBethele, saya eLuze, sadlula saya emkhawulweni wama-Araki ngase-Atharoti; ₃sehlela ngasentshonalanga emkhawulweni wamaJafeleti kuze kube semkhawulweni weBeti Horoni laseNzansi naseGezeri; ukuphuma kwaso kwakuselwandle.

₄Abantwana bakwaJosefa, oManase no-Efrayimi, base belidla ifa labo.

₅Umkhawulo wabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo wawunje: umkhawulo wefa labo ngasempumalanga wawuyi-Atharoti Adari kuze kube seBeti Horoni laseNhla; ₆umkhawulo waphuma ngasentshonalanga ngaseMikemetha ngasenyakatho; umkhawulo wawusujika ngasempumalanga, waya eTawanati Shilo, walidlula ngasempumalanga kwaseJanowa; ₇wehla eJanowa, waya e-Atharoti naseNahara, wafika eJeriko, waphumela eJordani. ₈Kusukela eTaphuwa umkhawulo waya ngasentshonalanga, wafika emfudlaneni iKhana; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle. Lelo liyifa lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngemindeni yabo ₉kanye nemizi eyahlukaniselwa abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi phakathi kwefa labantwana bakwaManase, yonke imizi nemizana yayo.

₁₀Kodwa abawaxoshanga amaKhanani ahlala eGezeri, kepha amaKhanani ahlala phakathi kuka-Efrayimi kuze kube namuhla, aba yizinceku zokusebenza.

₁Lesi siyisabelo sesizwe sakwaManase, ngokuba wayeyizibulo likaJosefa. UMakiri-ke, izibulo likaManase, uyise kaGileyadi, wathola elakwaGileyadi neBashani, lokhu eyindoda yempi. ₂Abanye abantwana bakwaManase babelwa nabo ngemindeni yabo: abantwana bakwa-Abiyezeri, nabantwana bakwaHeleki, nabantwana bakwa-Asiriyeli, nabantwana bakwaShekemi, nabantwana bakwaHeferi, nabantwana bakwaShemida; labo babe ngabantwana besilisa bakwaManase indodana kaJosefa ngemindeni yabo.

₃Kepha uSelofehadi kaHeferi kaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase wayengenamadodana, enamadodakazi odwa; lawa angamagama amadodakazi: oMahela, noNowa, noHogila, noMilka, noTirisa. ₄Asondela phambi kuka-Eleyazare umpristi, naphambi kukaJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, naphambi kwezikhulu, athi: “UJehova wamyala uMose ukuba asinike ifa phakathi kwabafowethu.” Wayesewanika ifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise njengesiyalezo sikaJehova. ₅UManase wabelwa izabelo eziyishumi ngaphandle kwelakwaGileyadi neBashani ngaphesheya kweJordani, ₆ngokuba amadodakazi kaManase aba nefa phakathi kwamadodana akhe; izwe lakwaGileyadi laba ngelamanye amadodana kaManase.

₇Umkhawulo kaManase wasuka kwa-Asheri, waya eMikemetha elingaphambi kweShekemi; umkhawulo wawusuya ngakwesokunene kwabakhileyo e-Eni Taphuwa. ₈Izwe laseTaphuwa lalingelikaManase, kepha iTaphuwa elisemkhawulweni kaManase lalingelabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi. ₉Umkhawulo wehlela emfudlaneni iKhana ngaseningizimu komfula; leyo mizi yayingeka-Efrayimi phakathi kwemizi kaManase; umkhawulo kaManase wawungasenyakatho komfula; ukuphuma kwawo kwakuselwandle; ₁₀okwaseningizimu kwakungokuka-Efrayimi, okwasenyakatho kwakungokukaManase, ulwandle lwalungumkhawulo wakhe; bafinyelela kwa-Asheri ngasenyakatho nakwa-Isakare ngasempumalanga.

₁₁Kwa-Isakare nakwa-Asheri uManase wabelwa iBeti Sheyani kanye nemizana yalo, neJibileyamu kanye nemizana yalo, nabakhileyo eDori kanye nemizana yalo, nabakhileyo e-Eni Dori kanye nemizana yalo, nabakhileyo eThahanaki kanye nemizana yalo, nabakhileyo eMegido kanye nemizana yalo eyizimpakama ezintathu.

₁₂Kodwa abantwana bakwaManase babengenakunqoba leyo mizi; kepha amaKhanani ayethanda ukuhlala kulelo zwe. ₁₃Kwathi lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli sebeqinile, bawasebenzisa amaKhanani, abawaxoshanga ngokupheleleyo.

₁₄Abantwana bakwaJosefa bakhuluma kuJoshuwa, bathi: “Unginikeleni isabelo sibe sinye nje nesinqamu sibe sinye kuphela, kube yifa lami, lokhu ngiyisizwe esikhulu, njengokuba uJehova ungibusisile kuze kube manje, na?”

₁₅UJoshuwa wathi kubo: “Uma uyisizwe esikhulu, khuphukela ehlathini, uzicabele khona ezweni lamaPherizi nakwelamaRefa, lokhu izintaba zakwa-Efrayimi ziminyene kuwe.”

₁₆Bathi abantwana bakwaJosefa: “Izintaba azisanele; onke amaKhanani ahlala ezweni lesigodi anezinqola zensimbi, wona aseBeti Sheyani kanye nemizana yalo nawo asesiGodini saseJizreyeli.”

₁₇UJoshuwa wayesekhuluma kuyo indlu kaJosefa, naku-Efrayimi, nakuManase, ethi: “Uyisizwe esikhulu, unamandla amakhulu; awuyikuba nasabelo esisodwa nje; ₁₈kepha izintaba ziyakuba ngezakho; noma ziyihlathi, woligawula; namaphethelo alo mawabe ngawakho, ngokuba uyakuwaxosha amaKhanani, nakuba enezinqola zensimbi nakuba enamandla.”
