21 Abako-Israyeli basebethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori besithi:+ 22 “Sicela usivumele siqume phakathi kwelizwe lakho. Asisoze siphambukele kuloba yiphi insimu kumbe insimu yamagilebisi njalo asisoze sinathe amanzi kuloba yiwuphi umgodi. Sizahamba ngoMgwaqo Wenkosi size siphume elizweni lakho.”+ 23 Kodwa uSihoni kazange avume ukuthi abako-Israyeli badlule phakathi kwelizwe lakhe. Waqoqa bonke abantu bakhe waphuma wayahlasela abantu bako-Israyeli enkangala njalo wafika eJahazi waqala ukulwa lama-Israyeli.+ 24 Lanxa kunjalo abako-Israyeli bamnqoba ngenkemba,+ basebethatha ilizwe lakhe+ kusukela e-Arinoni+ kuze kuyefika eJabhokhi+ eduze kwama-Amoni ngoba iJazeri+ isemngceleni welizwe lama-Amoni.+

32 USihoni wathi ephuma labo bonke abantu bakhe ukuze azokulwa lathi eJahazi,+ 33 uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wamnikela kithi samnqoba yena lamadodana akhe labo bonke abantu ayelabo. 34 Ngalesosikhathi sathumba wonke amadolobho akhe sawatshabalalisa, satshabalalisa amadoda labesifazana labantwana. Asitshiyanga ngitsho loyedwa.+
