| 1. | Wazihlanganisa uYoshuwa zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli kwaShekem, wawabiza amadoda amakhulu amaSirayeli, neentloko zawo, nabagwebi bawo, nababhali bawo; bazimisa phambi koThixo. |
| 2. | Wathi uYoshuwa kubo bonke abantu, Utsho uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ooyihlo babehleli phesheya koMlambo kususela kwaphakade, ooTera, uyise ka-Abraham, uyise kaNahore; babekhonza thixo bambi. |
| 3. | Ndamthabatha uyihlo uAbraham phesheya koMlambo, ndamhambisa ezweni lonke lakwaKanan, ndayandisa imbewu yakhe, ndamnika uIsake. |
| 4. | UIsake ndamnika uYakobi noEsawu; uEsawu ndamnika iintaba zakwaSehire, ukuba azime; ke uYakobi, noonyana bakhe behla baya eYiputa. |
| 5. | Ndathuma uMoses noAron, ndayihlisela izibetho iYiputa, njengoko ndenzayo phakathi kwayo; emveni koko ndanikhupha. |
| 6. | Ndabakhupha ooyihlo eYiputa, nafika elwandle; amaYiputa abasukela ooyihlo ngeenqwelo zokulwa nangabamahashe, beza kuLwandle oluBomvu. |
| 7. | Bakhala kuYehova; wabeka isithokothoko phakathi kwenu namaYiputa, wawazisela ulwandle, wawagubungela; amehlo enu akubona oko ndakwenzayo eYiputa. Nahlala entlango imihla emininzi. |
| 8. | Ndaningenisa ezweni lama-Amori, abehleli phesheya kweYordan, alwa nani; ndawanikela esandleni senu, nalihlutha ilizwe lawo; ndawatshabalalisa phambi kwenu. |
| 9. | Wesuka uBhalaki unyana kaTsipore, ukumkani wakwaMowabhi, walwa namaSirayeli; wathuma, wabiza uBhileham unyana kaBhehore, ukuba aniqalekise. |
| 10. | Andavuma ukumphulaphula uBhileham; wanisikelela, akayeka, ndanihlangula esandleni sakhe. |
| 11. | Nayiwela iYordan, nafika eYeriko; balwa nani abemi baseYeriko, ama-Amori, namaPerizi, namaKanan, namaHeti, namaGirgashi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, ndabanikela esandleni senu. |
| 12. | Ndathuma oonomeva phambi kwenu, babagxotha phambi kwenu ookumkani ababini bama-Amori, kungengakrele lakho, kungengasaphetha sakho. |
| 13. | Ndaninika ilizwe eningaxhamlekanga ngalo, nemizi eningayakhanga, nahlala ke kuyo; nezidiliya, nezinquma eningazityalanga niyazidla ke. |
| 14. | Moyikeni ke ngoko uYehova, nimkhonze ngokugqibeleleyo, nangenyaniso. Susani oothixo, ababekhonza bona ooyihlo phesheya koMlambo, naseYiputa, nimkhonze ke uYehova. |
| 15. | Ke ukuba kubi emehlweni enu ukumkhonza uYehova, zinyuleleni namhla oyena niya kumkhonza; nokuba ngoothixo ababekhonza bona ooyihlo, ababephesheya koMlambo, nokuba ngoothixo bama-Amori, enihleli ezweni lawo. Ke mna nendlu yam siya kukhonza uYehova. |
| 16. | Baphendula abantu, bathi, Makube le kuthi ukumshiya uYehova, sikhonze thixo bambi. |
| 17. | Kuba uYehova, uThixo wethu, nguye osinyusileyo thina noobawo bethu ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka; owayenzela emehlweni ethu loo miqondiso mikhulu, wasigcina endleleni yonke esahamba ngayo, nasezizweni zonke esacanda phakathi kwazo. |
| 18. | Waza wazigxotha uYehova zonke izizwe, nama-Amori abehleli kwelo zwe phambi kwethu. Nathi siya kukhonza uYehova; kuba nguThixo wethu. |
| 19. | Wathi uYoshuwa kubo abantu, Aninakumkhonza uYehova; ngokuba nguThixo oyingcwele, nguThixo onekhwele; akayi kuzithwala izikreqo zenu, nezono zenu. |
| 20. | Xa nithe namshiya uYehova, nakhonza oothixo bolunye uhlanga, wojika anenzele ububi anigqibele emveni kokuba enenzele okuhle. |
| 21. | Bathi abantu kuYoshuwa, Hayi, siya kukhonza uYehova thina. |
| 22. | Wathi uYoshuwa kubo abantu, Ningamangqina ngakuni, ukuba nina nizinyulele uYehova ukuba nimkhonze. Bathi, Singamangqina. |
| 23. | Wathi, basuseni ngoko oothixo bolunye uhlanga abaphakathi kwenu, nimthobele ngeentliziyo zenu uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli. |
| 24. | Bathi abantu kuYoshuwa, Siya kukhonza uYehova uThixo wethu, siliphulaphule ilizwi lakhe. |
| 25. | UYoshuwa wenza ke umnqophiso nabantu ngaloo mhla; wabamisela imimiselo namasiko kwaShekem. |
| 26. | Wawabhala uYoshuwa la mazwi encwadini yomyalelo kaThixo, wathabatha ilitye elikhulu, walimisa khona phantsi komoki osendaweni engcwele kaYehova. |
| 27. | Wathi uYoshuwa kubo bonke abantu, Yabonani, eli litye liya kuba lingqina ngathi; ngokuba liwavile lona onke amazwi kaYehova, awathethileyo nathi; libe lingqina ngani, hleze nimkhanyele uThixo wenu. |
| 28. | Wabandulula ke uYoshuwa abantu; elowo waya elifeni lakhe. |
| 29. | Kwathi emveni koko, wafa uYoshuwa unyana kaNun, umkhonzi kaYehova, eminyaka ilikhulu elinashumi-nye ezelwe. |
| 30. | Bamngcwabela emdeni welifa lakhe, eTimnati-sera, kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, entla kwentaba yaseGahashe. |
| 31. | AmaSirayeli amkhonza uYehova yonke imihla kaYoshuwa, nemihla yonke yamadoda amakhulu awasalayo kuYoshuwa, abewazi wonke umsebenzi kaYehova abewenzele amaSirayeli. |
| 32. | Amathambo kaYosefu, ababenyuke nawo eYiputa oonyana bakaSirayeli, bawangcwabela kwaShekem, kwisiziba somhlaba awasithengayo uYakobi koonyana bakaHamore, usoShekem, ngekhulu lesilivere; saba lilifa loonyana bakaYosefu. |
| 33. | NoElazare unyana ka-Aron wafa; bamngcwabela endulini kaPinehasi, unyana wakhe, awayinikwayo kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim. |
