14Lenhlangano yonke yasiziphakamisa, yazwakalisa ilizwi layoa; abantu basebekhala inyembezi ngalobobusukub. 2 Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebengunguna bemelene loMozisi loAronic; lenhlangano yonke yathi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safela elizweni leGibhithe, kumbe kungathi ngabe safela kule inkangalad! 3 Njalo kungani iNkosi isilethe kulelilizwe ukuthi siwe ngenkemba? Omkethu labantwanyana bethu bazakuba yimpango. Bekungebe ngcono kithi ukubuyela eGibhithe yini? 4 Basebesithi omunye komunye: Asimiseni inhlokoe, sibuyele eGibhithef. 5 UMozisi loAroni basebesithi mbo ngobuso babo phambi kwebandla lonke lenhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayelig.

6 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune ababengabalabo abahlola ilizwe, basebedabula izembatho zabo, 7 bakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esadabula kulo ukuze silihlole yilizwe elihle kakhulukazih. 8 Uba iNkosi ithokoza ngathi, izasingenisa kulelilizwei, isinike lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago lolujuj. 9 Kuphela lingayivukeli iNkosik; futhi lina lingesabi abantu belizwel, ngoba bayikudla kwethum. Umthunzi wabo usukile kubo; leNkosi ilathi; lingabesabin. 10 Kodwa inhlangano yonke yathi kabakhandwe ngamatsheo. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala ethenteni lenhlangano kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayelip.

11 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lababantu bengidelelaq? Koze kube nini bengangikholwa, ngazo zonke izibonakaliso engizenze phakathi kwabo?r 12 Ngizabatshaya ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibathathele ilifas, ngikwenze ube yisizwe esikhulu lesilamandla kulabot.

13 UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Khona amaGibhithe azakuzwa; ngoba wenyuse lababantu phakathi kwawo ngamandla akhou. 14 Njalo azatshela abahlali balelilizwe. Bazwile ukuthi wena Nkosi uphakathi kwalababantu, ukuthi wena Nkosi ubonwa ubuso ngobusov, lokuthi iyezi lakho lima phezu kwabo, uhamba phambi kwabo usensikeni yeyezi emini lensikeni yomlilo ebusukuw. 15 Uba ubulala lababantu njengomuntu oyedwa, izizwe ezizwe ngendumela yakho zizakhuluma zisithi: 16 Ngoba iNkosi yayingelakho ukungenisa lababantu elizweni eyabafungela lona, ngakho ibabulele enkangalax. 17 Khathesi-ke, ngiyancenga, kawabe makhulu amandla eNkosi yami, njengokutsho kwakho usithi: 18 INkosi iyaphuza ukuthukuthela, njalo inkulu emuseni, ithethelela ububi leziphambeko, kodwa engayikumyekela lokumyekela olecalay, iphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana kwesesithathu lesesine isizukulwanaz. 19 Thethelela, ngiyancenga, ububi balababantua njengobukhulu bomusa wakhob, lanjengalokho ubathethelele lababantu kusukela eGibhithe kuze kube khathesic.

20 INkosi yasisithi: Sengibathethelele njengokwelizwi lakhod. 21 Kodwa isibili, njengalokhu ngiphila, umhlaba wonke uzagcwala ngenkazimulo yeNkosie. 22 Ngoba wonke amadoda abone inkazimulo yami lezibonakaliso zami engazenza eGibhithe lenkangala, langilingileyof lezizikhathi ezilitshumi, kawezwanga ilizwi lamig, 23 isibili kabayikubona ilizwe engalifungela oyise; futhi kakho owalabo abangideleleyo ozalibonah. 24 Kodwa inceku yami uKalebii, ngoba omunye umoya ubulaye, wangilandela ngokupheleleyo; ngakho ngizamngenisa elizweni ayengene kilo; lenzalo yakhe izakudla ilifa laloj. 25 (AmaAmalekik lamaKhananil ahlala-ke esigodini.) Kusasa phendukani, lisuke liziyele enkangala ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvum.

26 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi: 27 Koze kube nini ngilalinhlangano embi, engingungunelayo? Ngizwile ukungunguna kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abangunguna ngakho bemelene lamin. 28 Tshono kibo uthi: Sibili njengoba ngiphilao, kutsho iNkosi, njengalokhu likhulume endlebeni zami, ngizakwenza njalo kinip. 29 Izidumbu zenu zizawela enkangala le, labo bonke ababaliweyo benu, njengokwenani lonke lenu, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, lina abangingunguneleyoq; 30 sibili lina kaliyikungena elizweni engiliphakamisele isandla sami ukulihlalisa kulo, ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune loJoshuwa indodana kaNunir. 31 Kodwa abantwanyana benu elathi ngabo bazakuba yimpango, ngizabangenisas, bazalazi ilizwe elalilahlayot. 32 Lina-ke, izidumbu zenu zizawela kulinkangalau. 33 Labantwana benu bazakuba ngabelusi enkangalav iminyaka engamatshumi amanew, bathwale ukuphinga kwenu, izidumbu zenu zize ziphele enkangalax. 34 Njengokwenani lezinsuku elahlola ngazo ilizwey, insuku ezingamatshumi amane, usuku ngomnyakaz, usuku ngomnyaka, lizathwala ububi benu, iminyaka engamatshumi amanea, lazi ukufulathela kwami. 35 Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile. Isibili ngizakwenza lokhub kulinhlangano yonke embi ebuthene imelene lami; kulinkangala bazaphela, bafele khonac. 36 Njalo amadoda uMozisi awathumayo ukuhlola ilizwe, esephenduka, enza inhlangano yonke yamngungunela ngokuletha umbiko omubi mayelana lelizwed, 37 lamadoda aletha umbiko omubi ngelizwe afa ngenhlupheko phambi kweNkosie. 38 Kodwa uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune, kulawomadoda ayeyehlola ilizwe, asala ephilaf. 39 Njalo uMozisi wakhuluma la amazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantu basebelila kakhulug.

40 Basebevuka ekuseni kakhulu, benyukela engqongeni yentaba, besithi: Khangelani silapha, sizakwenyukela endaweni iNkosi eyithembisileyo; ngoba sonileh. 41 Kodwa uMozisi wathi: Kungani-ke liseqa umlayo weNkosi? Ngoba kakuyikuphumelelai. 42 Lingenyuki, ngoba iNkosi kayikho phakathi kwenu, ukuze lingatshaywa phambi kwezitha zenuj. 43 Ngoba amaAmaleki lamaKhanani alapho phambi kwenu; njalo lizakuwa ngenkemba, ngoba njengoba liphendukile ekulandeleni iNkosi, iNkosi kayiyikuba lanik. 44 Kodwa ngokuziqhenya benyukela engqongeni yentabal, kodwa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi loMozisi kawuphumanga phakathi kwenkambam. 45 AmaAmaleki asesehla, lamaKhanani ahlala kulezozintaba, abatshayan, abahlakaza kwaze kwaba seHormao.
