20 Xa nithe namshiya uYehova, nakhonza oothixo bolunye uhlanga, wojika anenzele ububi anigqibele emveni kokuba enenzele okuhle.
21 Bathi abantu kuYoshuwa, Hayi, siya kukhonza uYehova thina.
22 Wathi uYoshuwa kubo abantu, Ningamangqina ngakuni, ukuba nina nizinyulele uYehova ukuba nimkhonze. Bathi, Singamangqina.
23 Wathi, basuseni ngoko oothixo bolunye uhlanga abaphakathi kwenu, nimthobele ngeentliziyo zenu uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli.
24 Bathi abantu kuYoshuwa, Siya kukhonza uYehova uThixo wethu, siliphulaphule ilizwi lakhe.
25 UYoshuwa wenza ke umnqophiso nabantu ngaloo mhla; wabamisela imimiselo namasiko kwaShekem.
26 Wawabhala uYoshuwa la mazwi encwadini yomyalelo kaThixo, wathabatha ilitye elikhulu, walimisa khona phantsi komoki* osendaweni engcwele kaYehova.
