6. Athumela ke amadoda aseGibheyon kuYoshuwa emkhosini eGiligali, esithi, Musa ukusiyekelela isandla sakho kubakhonzi bakho; nyuka uze kúthi ngokukhawuleza, usisindise, usincede; ngokuba bebuthelene phezu kwethu bonke ookumkani bama-Amori abemiyo ezintabeni.
7. Wenyuka ke uYoshuwa, esuka eGiligali, yena nabantu bonke bokulwa bendawonye naye, namagorha onke anobukroti.
8. Wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa, Musa ukuboyika; kuba ndibanikele esandleni sakho; akuyi kuma ndoda kubo phambi kwakho.
9. Wafika uYoshuwa kubo ngebhaqo; wenyuka bonke ubusuku, evela eGiligali.
10. UYehova wabadubaduba phambi kwamaSirayeli, ababulala ngobulawo olukhulu eGibheyon; abasukela ngendlela enyuka iye eBhete-horon, ababulala kwada kwesa eAzeka, kwada kwesa naseMakeda.
11. Kwathi, ekusabeni kwabo phambi kwamaSirayeli, besethambekeni laseBhete-horon, uYehova wabathobela amatye amakhulu ezulwini, kwada kwesa eAzeka, bafa. Babaninzi abafa ngamatye esichotho, kunababulawáyo ngoonyana bakaSirayeli ngekrele.
12. Waza wathetha uYoshuwa kuYehova, mhlana uYehova wawanikela ama-Amori koonyana bakaSirayeli, wathi emehlweni amaSirayeli:Langa, nqumama eGibheyon,Nawe nyanga, entilini yeAyalon.
13. Lathi nqumama ke ilanga, yema inyanga,Lwada uhlanga lwaziphindezelela ezintshabeni zalo.Oku akubhalwanga na eNcwadini yOthe Tye? Lema ke ilanga esazulwini sezulu, alangxama ukutshona, yangathi yimini iphela.

17. Kwaxelwa kuYoshuwa, kwathiwa, Sibafumene ookumkani bobahlanu, bezimele emqolombeni eMakeda.
18. Wathi uYoshuwa, Qengqelani amatye amakhulu emlonyeni womqolomba, nimise amadoda phezu kwawo ukuba abalinde.
19. Ke nina musani ukuma; zisukeleni iintshaba zenu, niwubethe umqosheliso wazo. Musani ukuwuvumela ungene emizini yawo, kuba uYehova uThixo wenu uwunikele esandleni senu.
