1. Wenyuka ke uMoses, esuka ezinkqantosini zakwaMowabhi, waya entabeni yeNebho, encotsheni yePisga, ekhangelene neYeriko. UYehova wambonisa lonke ilizwe laseGiliyadi, wasa kwaDan,
2. nelakwaNafetali lonke, nelizwe lakwaEfrayim noManase, nelizwe lonke lakwaYuda, wasa elwandle lwasentshonalanga;
3. nelasezantsi, nommandla wesihlambo seYeriko, umzi wamasundu, wasa eTsohare.
4. Wathi uYehova kuye, Lilo eli ilizwe endafunga ngalo kooAbraham noIsake noYakobi, ndisithi, Ndiya kulinika imbewu yakho; ndikukhangelisile ngamehlo, ke akuyi kuwela uye kulo.
5. Wafela khona uMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, ezweni lakwaMowabhi, ngokomlomo kaYehova.
6. Wamngcwabela emfuleni, ezweni lakwaMowabhi, malungana neBhete-pehore. Akukho bani ulaziyo ingcwaba lakhe unanamhla.
7. UMoses ebeminyaka ilikhulu elinamanci mabini ezelwe, mini wafa; lingenalurhatyazo iliso lakhe, esomelele nokomelela.
8. Oonyana bakaSirayeli bamlilela uMoses ezinkqantosini zakwaMowabhi imihla emashumi mathathu; yaphela ke imihla yokumlilela nokumenzela isijwili uMoses.
9. Waza uYoshuwa, unyana kaNun, wazala ngumoya wobulumko; ngokuba uMoses wayecinezele ngezandla zakhe phezu kwakhe. Bamphulaphula ke oonyana bakaSirayeli, benza njengoko uMoses wamwisela umthetho ngako.
10. Akubanga savela kwaSirayeli mprofeti unjengoMoses, awathi uYehova wamazi, bakhangelana ebusweni;
11. ngemiqondiso yonke, nezimanga, awamthumayo uYehova ukuba azenze ezweni laseYiputa kuFaro, nakubakhonzi bakhe bonke, nakwilizwe lakhe lonke;
12. nangaso sonke isandla esithe nkqi, nangokoyikeka konke okukhulu, awakwenzayo uMoses emehlweni amaSirayeli onke.
