31UMozisi wasehamba wakhuluma lamazwi kuIsrayeli wonke, 2 wathi kubo: Ngileminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili lamuhlaa; kangiselamandla okuphuma lokungenab. LeNkosi yathi kimi: Kawuyikuyichapha le iJordanic. 3 INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, yona izachapha phambi kwakho, yona izachitha lezizizwe zisuke phambi kwakho, ukuze udle ilifa lazo. UJoshuwa, yena uzachapha phambi kwakhod, njengokutsho kweNkosie. 4 LeNkosi izakwenza kuzof njengokwenza kwayo kuSihoni lakuOgi, amakhosi amaAmori, lelizweni lawo, ewachithileyog. 5 INkosi izazinikela-ke phambi kwenu, ukuze lenze kuzo njengokwemilayo yonke engililaye yonah. 6 Qinani, lime isibindii, lingesabi, lingatshaywa luvalo ngenxa yazoj; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, yiyo ehamba lawek; kayiyikukulahla, kayiyikukudelal.

7 UMozisi wasembiza uJoshuwa, wathi kuye phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke: Qina, ume isibindi; ngoba wena uzangena lalababantu elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela oyise ukubanika lona; uzabenza badle ilifa lalom. 8 Njalo iNkosi, yiyo ehamba phambi kwakho; yona izakuba lawen, ingakulahli, ingakudeli; ungesabio, ungakhathazekip.

9 UMozisi wasewubhala lumlayo, wawunika abapristi, amadodana kaLeviq, ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, lakubo bonke abadala bakoIsrayelir. 10 UMozisi wasebalaya esithi: Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo somnyaka wenkululekos, emkhosini wamadumbat, 11 lapho uIsrayeli wonke esefike ukubonakala phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni ezayikhethau, uwubale lumlayo phambi kukaIsrayeli wonke endlebeni zabov. 12 Buthanisa abantu, abesilisa labesifazana labantwana, lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuze bezwe, lokuze bafunde, bayesabe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, bagcine ukwenza wonke amazwi alumlayow. 13 Labantwana babo abangaziyox bezwe, bafunde ukuyesaba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwenu, elizweni elichapha iJordani lisiya kulo ukudla ilifa laloy.

14 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, insuku zakho zokufa sezisondelez; biza uJoshuwa, zimiseni ethenteni lenhlangano ukuze ngimlaye. UMozisi loJoshuwa bahamba-ke, bazimisa ethenteni lenhlanganoa. 15 INkosi yasibonakala ethenteni ensikeni yeyezi; lensika yeyezi yema phezu komnyango wethenteb.

16 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, uzalala laboyihlo; lalababantu bazasukumac baphinge ngokulandela onkulunkulu bezizweni belizwe, lapho abaya khona phakathi kwabod, bangitshiyee, bephule isivumelwano sami engisenze labof. 17 Lentukuthelo yami izabavuthela ngalolosuku, ngibatshiyeg, ngibafihlele ubuso bami, ukuze babe yikudlah, behlelwe ngokubi okunengi lezinhlupheko, baze bathi ngalolosuku: Angithi lobububi busehlele ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu kakho phakathi kwethui? 18 Lami ngizafihla lokufihla ubuso bami ngalolosuku ngenxa yobubi bonke ababenzileyo, ngoba bephendukele kwabanye onkulunkuluj. 19 Ngakho-ke zibhaleleni lingoma, uyifundise abantwana bakoIsrayeli; uyifake emlonyeni wabo ukuze lingoma ibe yibufakazi kimi obumelene labantwana bakoIsrayelik. 20 Lapho sengibangenisile elizweni engalifungela oyise, eligeleza uchago loluju, sebedlile basuthal, bazimukam, bazaphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonzen, bangideleleo, bephule isivumelwano samip. 21 Kuzakuthi-ke, nxa sebehlelwe ngokubi okunengi lezinhlupheko, lingoma izaphendula phambi kobuso babo ibe yibufakazi; ngoba kayiyikukhohlakala emlonyeni wenzalo yaboq. Ngoba ngiyawazir amacebo abo abawenzayo lamuhla, ngingakabangenisi elizweni engifunge ngalos.

22 UMozisi wasebhala lingoma ngalolosuku, wayifundisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli. 23 Yasilaya uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni yathit: Qina, ume isibindi, ngoba wena uzabangenisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni engabafungela lonau; lami ngizakuba lawev.

24 Kwasekusithi uMozisi eseqedile ukubhala amazwi alumlayo egwalweni, aze aphelaw, 25 uMozisi walaya amaLevi ayethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi esithix: 26 Thathani lolugwalo lomlayo, lilubeke eceleni komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze lube khonay, kube yibufakazi obumelene lawez. 27 Ngoba mina ngiyazi umvukela wakho, lentamo yakho elukhuni; khangelani, ngisaphila lani lamuhlaa, belingabavukeli beNkosi; pho, kangakanani emva kokufa kwamib?

28 Buthanisani kimi bonke abadala bezizwe zenu lenduna zenu ukuze ngikhulume lamazwi endlebeni zaboc, ngibize amazulu lomhlaba ukuba ngabafakazi bamelane labod. 29 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami lizakona lokona, liphambuke endleleni engililaye yonae; lizakwehlelwa ngokubi ngensuku ezizayo, ngoba lizakwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosif, liyithukuthelise ngomsebenzi wezandla zenug.

30 UMozisi wasekhuluma amazwi alingoma endlebeni zebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, aze aphela.
