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.
14 Akuzanga kubekho mini injengaleyo, phambi kwayo nangasemva kwayo, ngokokude uYehova aliphulaphule izwi lomntu; ngokuba uYehova wawalwela amaSirayeli.
15 Wabuya uYoshuwa, enamaSirayeli onke, waya eminqubeni eGiligali.
16 Basaba abo kumkani bahlanu, bazimela emqolombeni eMakeda.
17 Kwaxelwa kuYoshuwa, kwathiwa, Sibafumene ookumkani bobahlanu, bezimele emqolombeni eMakeda.
