6 Ingelosi kaJehova yagomela kuJoshuwa, yathi:
7 “Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ‘Uma uhamba ngezindlela zami, ugcine inkonzo yami, uyakwahlulela endlini yami, ugcine namagceke ami; ngiyakukunika ukuba uhambe phakathi kwalaba abemi lapha.
8 “ ‘Ake uzwe, Joshuwa, mpristi omkhulu, wena nabangane bakho abahlala phambi kwakho, ngokuba bangabantu abayisibonakaliso: bhekani, ngiyakuveza inceku yami, uHlumela.
9 Ngokuba bheka, itshe engilibeke phambi kukaJoshuwa kukhona amehlo ayisikhombisa etsheni lilodwa ngiyakuqopha ukuqoshwa kwalo,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti, ‘ngidedisele kude ububi balelo zwe ngalusuku lunye.
10 “ ‘Ngalolo suku,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti, ‘niyakumema, kube yilowo nalowo umngane wakhe phansi komvini naphansi komkhiwane.’ ”
