3 kumaKanan empumalanga nasetshonalanga, nakuma-Amori, nakumaHeti, nakumaPerizi, nakumaYebhusi ezintabeni, nakumaHivi aphantsi kweHermon ezweni leMizpa.
4 Baphuma ke bona benemikhosi yabo yonke, abantu abaninzi njengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle ukuba baninzi, namahashe, neenqwelo zokulwa, into eninzi kunene.
5 Bavumelana ke abo kumkani bonke; beza bamisa ndawonye emanzini aseMerom, ukuba balwe namaSirayeli.
6 Wathi uYehova kuYoshuwa, Musa ukoyika ngenxa yabo; ngokuba ngomso eli xa ndiya kubanikela bonke bephela, behlatyiwe, emandleni amaSirayeli, uwanqumle imisipha amahashe abo, uzitshise ngomlilo iinqwelo zabo zokulwa.
7 Waya ke uYoshuwa, enabantu bonke bokulwa, wabafikela ngebhaqo emanzini aseMerom, babawela.
8 UYehova wabanikela esandleni samaSirayeli, ababulala, abasukela kwesa eTsidon enkulu, kwesa eMiserefoti-mayim, kwesa ethafeni laseMizpa empumalanga; ababulala kwada akwasala namnye kubo usindileyo.
9 Wenza ke uYoshuwa kubo njengoko wathethayo uYehova kuye; amahashe abo wawanqumla imisipha, iinqwelo zabo zokulwa wazitshisa ngomlilo.
