7 Ke ka ntlha ya eng fa lo tentsha dipelo tsa Baiseraele gore ba se ka ba tshelela kwa lefatsheng leMorenao le ba neileng?

8 Kana le borraeno ba dirile jalo, jale fa ke ba roma go tswa kwa Kateše-Barenea go ya go tlhola lefatshe.

18 Ga re kitla re boela kwa malapeng a rona, mongwe le mongwe wa Baiseraele a ise a amogele boswa jwa gagwe.

19 Gonne ga re rate go rua nabo kwa moseja ga Joretane le kwa pele; gonne boswa jwa rona bo re wetse ka kwano ga Joretane ntlheng ya botlhabatsatsi.”

20 Moše a ba raya a re: “Fa lo ka dira ka fa lefokong leo, lwa tlhomela fa pele gaMorenago ya ntweng,

21 mme mongwe le mongwe wa lona yo o tlhometseng a tshela Joretane fa pele gaMorenago ya a be a leleke baba ba gagwe fa pele ga gagwe,

22 le lefatshe le be le thopiwa fa pele gaMorena, lo bo lo boa morago ga moo, gona lo tla bo lo se na molato fa pele gaMorenale Baiseraele, mme lefatshe leno e tla nna boswa jwa lona fa pele gaMorena.

23 Mme fa lo sa dire jalo, gona lo leofelaMorena, mme lo tla lemoga petso ya boleo jwa lona e e tla lo welang.

24 Ikageleng he metse ya bana ba lona le maraka a difutshane tsa lona, lo dire ka fa lo buileng ka teng.”

25 Bagate le Barubene ba araba Moše ba re: “Batlhanka ba gago ba tla dira jaaka go laetse mong wa rona.

26 Bana ba rona le basadi ba rona ba tla nna teng mo metseng ya Gileate le diruiwa tsotlhe tsa rona.

27 Mme batlhanka ba gago, botlhe ba ba tlhometseng go bolola fa pele gaMorenaba tla fetela kwa ntweng jaaka mong wa rona a buile.”

28 Ke fa Moše a laela moperesiti Eleasare le Jošua morwa Nune le ditlhogo tsa dikgotla tsa ditso tsa Baiseraele ka ga bone.

29 Moše a ba raya a re: “Fa Bagate le Barubene ba ka tshela Joretane le lona, ba tlhomeletse ntwa botlhe fa pele gaMorena, lefatshe la ba la thopiwa ke lona, gona lo ba nee lefatshe la Gileate go nna boswa.

30 Mme fa ba sa tshele le lona ba tlhometse, gona a ba nne mo gare ga lona kwa lefatsheng la Kanana.”

31 Bagate le Barubene ba araba ba re: “TseMorenao di laetseng batlhanka ba gago re tla di dira.

32 Re tla tshelela kwa lefatsheng la Kanana fa pele gaMorenare tlhometse, mme boswa jwa rona jwa naga bo ntse bo le ka kwano ga Joretane.”
