Joshua 15
1 Isabelo sesizwana sabozalo lukaJuda ngokwemindeni yabo sasifinyelela ngaseningizimu emngceleni kwa-Edomi, kuyofika ehlane iZini ekupheleni kweningizimu.
2 Umngcele wabo ngaseningizimu wawuhamba usuka ekugcineni koLwandle Lukasawoti, kusukela ngasechwebeni elibheke ngaseningizimu;
3 uqhubekela ngaseningizimu yommango i-Akhrabhimi, udlulele eZini, ukhuphukele eningizimu eKadeshi Bharineya, wedlule ngaseHezironi, wenyukele e-Adari, ujike uye eKharakha,
4 udlulele e-Azimoni, uye emfuleni eGibhithe; uze ugcine olwandle. Lona kuyakuba ngumngcele wenu wangaseningizimu.
5 Umngcele wangasempumalanga wuLwandle Lukasawoti kuze kube semngceleni weJordani. Umngcele kusukela echwebeni elingasenyakatho kuze kube ngasekupheleni kolwandle, kusukela eJordani,
6 umngcele wenyukela eBhethi Hogila, wedlule ngasenyakatho eBhethi Araba; uqhubeke njalo uze uye emngceleni wamadodana kaRubeni etsheni likaBhohanu,
7 wedlulele eDebhiri kusuka esigodini i-Akhori, uqhubeke ngasenyakatho, uphenduke ubheke eGiligali elibhekene nommango e-Adumimi ngaseningizimu yesigodi, umngcele, bese wedlula uya emanzini e-Eni Shemeshi; uze uyophela e-Eni Rogeli,
8 bese ukhuphuka esigodini samadodana kaHinomu ekwehleni okungaseningizimu yamaJebhusi, okuyiJerusalema, nomngcele okhuphukela phezulu entabeni ebhekene nesigodi iHinomu, entshonalanga engasekugcineni, enyakatho yesigodi iRefa,
9 bese uqhubeka usuka esiqongweni sentaba uya emthonjeni wamanzi eNefithowa, usuke lapho uze uyofika emizini esentabeni i-Efroni, umngcele usuke ujike uye eBhahala eKiriyathi Jeharimi,
10 bese uzungeza ngasentshonalanga eBhahala uye entabeni iSeyiri, wedlule ngasenyakatho yomthambeka wentaba iJeharimi okuyiKhesaloni, wehlele eBheth Shemeshi, wedlulele eThimina;
11 umngcele wedlule emthambekeni wegquma elisenyakatho ye-Ekhroni, bese ujikela eShikheroni wedlule entabeni iBhahala, udlulele eJabhineyeli uze uyogcina olwandle.
12 Umngcele ngasentshonalanga kwakuwuLwandle Olukhulu nogu lwalo. Lona-ke ngumngcele owawuzungeze abozalo lukaJuda ngokwemindeni yabo.
13 Wamnika uKhalebhu indodana kaJefune isabelo phakathi kwabozalo lukaJuda njengoba uSimakade ayemyalile uJoshuwa, umuzi ka-Arbha uyise ka-Anaki iHebhroni.
14 UKhalebhu waxosha kuwo amadodana amathathu ka-Anaki: uSheshayi, u-Ahimani noThalimayi, ababeyizizukulwane zika-Anaki.
15 Wasuka lapho wahlasela izakhamuzi zaseDebhiri; kuqala igama leDebhiri kwakuyiKiriyathi Seferi.
16 UKhalebhu wathi: “Oyonqoba iKiriyathi Seferi, alidle, ngiyomganisela indodakazi yami, u-Akhisa, ibe ngumkakhe.”
17 U-Otheniyeli, indodana kaKhenazi umfowabo kaKhalebhu, walinqoba, wayesemganisela indodakazi yakhe u-Akhisa, waba ngumkakhe.
18 Lapho efika kuye, wamcela ukuba acele insimu kuyise. Lapho ehla embongolweni yakhe, uKhalebhu wathi kuye: “Ufunani, na?”
19 Wathi kuye: “Ngiphe isipho, njengoba ungibeke eNegevu, ungiphe futhi imithombo yamanzi.” UKhalebhu wayesemnika imithombo engasenhla nengasezansi.
20 Leli yifa lesizwana sabozalo lukaJuda ngokwemindeni yabo.
