7. Amadoda awasukela ngendlela yaseYordan eya emazibukweni; lavalwa isango emveni kokuba bephumile abo basukelayo.
8. Engekalali amadoda, yenyuka yona yaya kuwo phezu kwendlu; yathi kuloo madoda,
9. Ndiyazi ukuba uYehova uninikile eli lizwe; nokuba sìwelwe luqhiphuko-mbilini ngani; nokuba bathé amandla bonke abemi beli lizwe ebusweni benu.
10. Kuba sivile ukuba uYehova wawomisa amanzi oLwandle oluBomvu* phambi kwenu ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa; noko nakwenzayo kookumkani bobabini bama-Amori, ababephesheya kweYordan, ooSihon no-Ogi, enabasingela phantsi.
11. Sivile ke, zanyibilika iintliziyo zethu, akwaba sabakho kuqina kwamxhelo mntwini ngenxa yenu; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wenu nguye uThixo emazulwini phezulu, nasehlabathini phantsi apha.
12. Kaloku khanindifungele uYehova, nithi, kuba ndinenzele inceba, niyenzele inceba nani indlu kabawo, nindinike umqondiso wenyaniso;
13. nimsindise ubawo, noma, nabanakwethu, noodade bethu, neento zonke abanazo, niyihlangule imiphefumlo yethu ekufeni.
14. Athi kuyo amadoda lawo, Umphefumlo wethu wofa esikhundleni sowenu, ukuba aniyixelanga le nto yethu; kothi ekunikweni kwethu eli lizwe nguYehova, sikwenzele inceba nenyaniso.
15. Yawahlisa ke ngentsontelo ngefestile; kuba indlu yayo yabe iseludongeni lomzi; yayihleli eludongeni.
16. Yathi kuwo, Yiyani entabeni, hleze baqubisane nani abo banisukelayo; zimelani khona iintsuku zibe ntathu, bade babuye abo banisukelayo, nandule ke ukuhamba indlela yenu.
