22 Then Joshua summoned them and he spoke to them saying: "Why have you deceived us saying: 'We are very far from you,' when you are living among us? 23 Now therefore, you are cursed, and you will never cease to be servants, wood-choppers and water-carriers for the House of my God."
22Joshuwa wase ubita emaGibeyoni, wakhuluma kuwo, watsi: "Nisiyengeleni natsi: 'Sihlala khashane kabi nani,' kantsi nisho nje nakhelene natsi? 23Manje-ke senicalekisiwe: Anisayikuyekela kuba tisebenti, nibe babandzi betinkhuni nebakheleli bemanti bendlu yaNkulunkulu wami."
