18Inhlangano yonke-ke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShiloa, yamisa khona ithente lenhlangano. Lelizwe lalehliselwe phansi phambi kwabo. 2 Kwasekusele phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezazingabelwanga ilifa lazo. 3 UJoshuwa wasesithi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: Koze kube nini lidonda ukuyakudla ilifa lelizweb iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo elinike lona? 4 Zinikeni amadoda amathathu ngesizwe, ngiwathume, asukume ahambe adabule ilizwe, alibhale ngokwelifa lazo, abuye kimi. 5 Azalehlukanisa libe yizabelo eziyisikhombisa; uJudac uzahlala emngceleni wakhe eningizimu, labendlu kaJosefad bahlale emngceleni wabo enyakatho. 6 Lani lizabhala ilizwe ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa, beseliletha kimi lapha, ukuthi ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethue. 7 Ngoba amaLevi kawalasabelo phakathi kwenuf, ngoba ubupristi beNkosi buyilifa labo. LoGadig loRubeni lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase sebethethe ilifa labo ngaphetsheya kweJordani empumalanga, uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyabanika lona.
8 Asesuka amadoda ahamba. UJoshuwa wawalaya ahambayo ukubhala ilizwe esithi: Hambani lidabule ilizwe lilibhale, libuyele kimi, ukuze ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi eShilo. 9 Ngakho amadoda ahamba adabula phakathi kwelizwe, alibhala ngemizi ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa egwalweni; asebuya kuJoshuwa enkambeni eShilo. 10 UJoshuwa wasebaphosela inkatho eShilo phambi kweNkosi; uJoshuwa wasebabela lapho ilizwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngokwezigaba zaboh.
