1 Wathetha uYehova kuYoshuwa, esithi,
2 Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, Zimiseleni imizi yokusabela, endathetha ngayo kuni ngoMoses;
3 ukuba abalekele kuyo umbulali obulele umntu ngengozi engazi, ibe ziindawo zenu enobalekela kuzo ukusaba umphindezeleli wegazi;
4 abalekele komnye waloo mizi, eme ekungeneni kwesango lomzi, awathethe ezindlebeni zamadoda amakhulu aloo mzi amazwi akhe; amamkelele kuloo mzi, abe kuwo, amnike indawo, ukuba ahlale nawo.
5 Othi, xenikweni umphindezeleli wegazi amsukelayo, angamnikeli umbulali esandleni sakhe, ngokuba wambulala ummelwane wakhe engazi, ebengamthiyile ngaphambili.
6 Wóhlala kuloo mzi ade eme phambi kwebandla, lithethwe ityala lakhe, ade afe umbingeleli omkhulu oya kubakho ngezo mini, andule umbulali ukubuyela emzini wakowabo, nasendlwini yakhe, emzini abebaleke ekuwo.
7 Bangcwalisa ke iKedeshe eGalili, ekweleentaba lakwaNafetali; nelakwaShekem kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim; neKiriyati ka-Arbha, ngowaseHebron ke lowo, kweleentaba lakwaYuda.
