13 Jehova wabese ukhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Tfumela emadvodza kutsi ayewuhlola live laseKhenani, live lengitalinika ema-Israyeli. Esiveni ngasinye sabokhokho benu ubotfumela indvodza yinye, futsi kufanele kube yindvodza lengumholi+ waleso sive.”+
3 Ngako Mosi wawatfuma lamadvodza, asuka ehlane lasePharani+ njengobe Jehova abeshito. Onkhe abebaholi bema-Israyeli. 4 Nankha emabito awo: Esiveni sakaRubeni bekunguShamuwa indvodzana yaZakhuri; 5 esiveni sakaSimeyoni kunguShafati indvodzana yaHori; 6 esiveni sakaJuda kunguKhalebi+ indvodzana yaJefune; 7 esiveni saka-Isakhari kungu-Igali indvodzana yaJosefa; 8 esiveni saka-Efrayimu kunguHosheya+ indvodzana yaNuni; 9 esiveni sakaBhenjamini kunguPhaliti indvodzana yaRafu; 10 esiveni sakaZebuloni kunguGadiyeli indvodzana yaSodi; 11 esiveni sakaManase,+ wesive sakaJosefa,+ kunguGadi indvodzana yaSusi; 12 esiveni sakaDani kungu-Amiyeli indvodzana yaGemali; 13 esiveni saka-Asheri kunguSethuri indvodzana yaMikhayeli; 14 esiveni sakaNaftali kunguNahibi indvodzana yaVofisi; 15 kantsi esiveni sakaGadi bekunguGewuweli indvodzana yaMakhi. 16 Lawa-ke ngemabito alamadvodza Mosi lawatfuma kutsi ayewuhlola lelive. Waphindze wanika Hosheya indvodzana yaNuni libito lelitsi Joshuwa.*+
17 Ngesikhatsi Mosi awatfuma kutsi ayewuhlola live laseKhenani, watsi kuwo: “Khuphukelani eNegebhu, bese niya esifundzeni lesinetintsaba.+ 18 Kufanele nibuke kutsi lelive linjani+ nekutsi bantfu labahlala kulo banemandla yini nobe cha, nekutsi banyenti yini nobe bambalwa. 19 Nibophindze nibuke kutsi lelive lihle yini nobe libi, nekutsi emadolobha alo abiyelwe yini nobe akakabiyelwa. 20 Nibohlola nekutsi lelive linotsile* yini nobe cha,*+ nekutsi tikhona yini tihlahla kulo nobe kute. Kufanele nibe nesibindzi,+ nitsatse letinye tetitselo talelive.” Lesi bekusikhatsi sekuvutfwa kwemagilebisi ekucala.+
21 Ngako-ke lamadvodza ahamba futsi alihlola lelive kusukela ehlane laseZini+ kuya eRehobu+ kuze kuyewufika ngaseLebo-hamathi.*+ 22 Ngesikhatsi akhuphukela eNegebhu, efika eHebroni+ lapho bekuhlala khona bo-Ahimani, Sheshayi naThalmayi,+ labangema-Anaki.+ IHebroni beyakhiwe eminyakeni lengu-7 ngaphambi kweSowani yaseGibhithe. 23 Atsi nakefika eSihosheni sase-Eshkoli,+ ajuba ligala lebelinesikhehle semagilebisi, futsi kwadzingeka kutsi emadvodza lamabili aletfwale ngelugodvo, etfwale nemahananandza* kanye nemakhiwa.+ 24 Leyo ndzawo ayibita ngekutsi Sihosha sase-Eshkoli*+ ngobe kulapho abejube khona lesikhehle semagilebisi.
25 Ngemuva kwemalanga langu-40,+ lamadvodza abuya kuyewuhlola lelive. 26 Abuyela kuboMosi na-Aroni nakuso sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli eKhadeshi,+ ehlane lasePharani. Aletsa umbiko kuso sonkhe lesive aphindze asikhombisa titselo talelo live. 27 Naku lakusho kuMosi: “Singenile kulelive lebewusitfume kulo, futsi vele lilive leligeleta lubisi neluju,+ nati netitselo talo.+ 28 Kodvwa-ke bantfu labahlala khona banemandla kantsi nemadolobha abo labiyelwe makhulu kakhulu. Siphindze sabona nema-Anaki kulelive.+ 29 Ema-Amaleki+ ahlala endzaweni yaseNegebhu,+ esifundzeni lesinetintsaba khona kuhlala emaHethi, nemaJebhusi+ kanye nema-Amori,+ bese kutsi emaKhenani+ ahlala ngaselwandle+ naseceleni kweJordane.”
30 Khalebi wetama kwehlisa labantfu umoya njengobe bebeme embikwaMosi, watsi: “Asikhuphukeni ngekushesha futsi lelive sitalitsatsa libe ngeletfu, ngobe nakanjani sitawulincoba.”+ 31 Kodvwa lamadvodza labehambe naye atsi: “Angeke sikhone kukhuphuka siyekulwa nalabantfu, ngobe banemandla kunatsi.”+ 32 Lamadvodza achubeka aniketa ema-Israyeli umbiko lomubi+ ngalelive labeye kuyolihlola, atsi: “Lelive lebesiyolihlola lilive lelidla bantfu balo libacedze, nabo bonkhe bantfu lesibabonile bangemadvodza latidlakela.+ 33 Siphindze sabona nemaNefili, lokungemadvodzana a-Anaki+ lavela* kumaNefili, futsi kuwo sifana netintsetse, kantsi natsi vele sitibona kanjalo.”
