| 1. | Labizelwa ndawonye lonke ibandla lakwaSirayeli eShilo; bayimisa khona intente yokuhlangana. Leyiseka ilizwe phambi kwabo. |
| 2. | Kwasala phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli izizwe ezisixhenxe, ezingabelwanga lifa lazo. |
| 3. | Wathi uYoshuwa koonyana bakaSirayeli, Koda kube nini na nikunqena ukuya kulihlutha elo zwe aninike lona uYehova uThixo wooyihlo? |
| 4. | Khuphani amadoda abe mathathu esizweni ngesizwe, ndiwathume, asuke acande ezweni, alibhale ngokwamafa azo, aze abuyele kum, |
| 5. | alabe libe zizabelo ezisixhenxe; uYuda eme emdeni wakhe ngasezantsi, indlu kaYosefu ime emdeni wayo ngasentla. |
| 6. | Nina ke nilibhale ilizwe lezabelo ezo zisixhenxe, niyizise ingxelo kum apha, ndiniwisele amaqashiso phambi koYehova uThixo wethu apha. |
| 7. | Kuba abaLevi abanasabelo phakathi kwenu, kuba ilifa labo bububingeleli bukaYehova; ke uGadi noRubhen nesiqingatha sesizwe sikaManase basebelithabathile ilifa labo awabanika lona uMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, phesheya kweYordan ngasempumalanga. |
| 8. | Asuka ke amadoda lawo ahamba. UYoshuwa wabawisela umthetho abo bahambayo beya kulibhala ilizwe, esithi, Yiyani, nilihambe ilizwe, nilibhale, nize nibuyele kum, ndiniwisele amaqashiso phambi koYehova eShilo apha. |
| 9. | Aya ke amadoda lawo, acanda ezweni apho, alibhala ngokwemizi, ngokwezabelo ezi sixhenxe encwadini; eza ke kuYoshuwa eminqubeni eShilo. |
| 10. | Waza uYoshuwa wawawisela amaqashiso eShilo phambi koYehova; uYoshuwa wababela ilizwe oonyana bakaSirayeli khona ngokweentlantlu zabo. |
| 11. | Kwavela iqashiso lesizwe soonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokwemizalwane yabo; umda weqashiso labo waphuma phakathi koonyana bakaYuda noonyana bakaYosefu. |
| 12. | Umda wabo ngasecaleni lasentla wathabathela eYordan, wenyuka waya egxalabeni laseYeriko ngasentla, wenyuka waya ezintabeni ngasentshonalanga; ukuma kwawo, waya wema ngentlango yaseBhetaven; |
| 13. | wegqitha umda khona, waya eLuzi, egxalabeni leLuzi ngasezantsi (yiBheteli ke leyo); wehla umda waya eAtaroti-adare, ngasezintabeni ezingasezantsi kweBhete-horon yasezantsi. |
| 14. | Wahlaba umda, wajika waya ecaleni lasentshonalanga ngasezantsi, usuka entabeni ephambi kweBhete-horon ngasezantsi; ukuma kwawo, waya wema ngeKiriyati-bhahali (yiKiriyati-yeharim ke leyo), umzi woonyana bakaYuda. Lilo elo icala lasentshonalanga. |
| 15. | Icala lasezantsi lathabathela ekupheleni kweKiriyati-yeharim; waphuma umda entshonalanga, waphuma waya emthonjeni wamanzi aseNefetowa. |
| 16. | Wehla umda waya ekupheleni kwentaba ephambi komfula woonyana kaHinom, osentilini yamaRafa ngasentla; wehla ngomfula wakwaHinom, waya egxalabeni lamaYebhusi ngasezantsi, wehla waya e-En-rogele; |
| 17. | wahlaba uvela entla, waphuma waya e-En-shemeshe, waphuma waya eGeliloti, emalunga nokunyuka kweAdumim; wehla waya etyeni likaBhohan, unyana kaRubhen; |
| 18. | wegqitha waya egxalabeni elimalunga neArabha entla, wehla waya eArabha; |
| 19. | wegqitha umda waya egxalabeni laseBhete-hogela entla; ukuma komda, waya wema ngechweba loLwandle lweTyuwa, ekupheleni kweYordan ngasezantsi; nguwo lowo umda wasezantsi. |
| 20. | IYordan ibe ingumda walo ngecala lasempumalanga. Lilo elo ilifa loonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokwemida yalo ngeenxa zonke, ngokwemizalwane yabo. |
| 21. | Ke imizi yesizwe soonyana bakaBhenjamin, ngokwemizalwane yabo, ibe iyiYeriko, neBhete-hogela, nentili yaseKetsitse, |
| 22. | neBhete-arabha, neTsemarayim, neBheteli, |
| 23. | neAvim, nePara, neOfra, |
| 24. | neKefar-amoni, neOfeni, neGabha: imizi elishumi elinamibini inemizana yayo; |
| 25. | iGibheyon, neRama, neBheheroti, |
| 26. | neMizpa, neKefira, neMotsa, |
| 27. | neRekem, neIrpeli, neTarala, |
| 28. | neTsela, ne-Elefe, nowamaYebhusi (yiYerusalem ke leyo); neGibheha, neKiriyati: imizi elishumi elinamibini inemizana yayo. Lilo ke elo ilifa loonyana bakaBhenjamin ngokwemizalwane yabo. |
