Joshua 1–8; 23–24

Akanya gore go ka tswa go ne go ntse jang go Joshua go bidiwa go emelela Moše. Lemoga se Morena a se buileng mo Jošua 1: 1–9 go mo kgothatsa. Akanya ka ga dikgwetlho tse di thata tse o lebaganang le tsone; ke eng mo ditemaneng tse mo go go neelang kgothatso?

Leina Jošua (Jehoshua kgotsa Jeshua ka Sehebera) le raya “Jehofa o a boloka.” Mme leina Jeso le tswa mo go Jeshua. Jalo fa o bala ka ga Joshua, akanya thomo ya gagwe ya go goga bana Baiseraele go kgabaganya Noka ya Joretane go tsena mo lefatsheng la tsholofelo. Thomo ya gagwe e ne e tshwana jang le se Keresete a re se direlang?

Jaaka a ne a rotloetsa Joshua, Morena o neetse kgakololo mo Jošua 1:8 ka ga dikwalo tse di boitshepo, kgotsa “lefoko la molao.” Akanya ka maikarabelo a bokete a ga Joshua, ke eng kgakololo e e ne ya thusa?

Fa Morena a re laletsa go bala dikwalo tse di boitshepo, kgapetsa kgapetsa o dirisa mafoko a a rayang go feta go bala. Le gone o solofeditse ditshegofatso tse dikgolo. Mola yo o fa tlase o ka go thusa go lemoga ditaletso tse le ditshegofatso tse di solofeditsweng:

Modimo o diragaditse jang ditsholofetso tse mo botshelong jwa gago? Jaanong se e ka nna nako e e molemo go sekaseka mokgwa wa gago wa ithutontsho dikwalo tse di boitshepo. Ke eng se se tsamayang sentle? O ikutlwa o tlhotlholediwa go dira eng go nna maitemogelo a a feteletseng le lefoko la Modimo?

Bakeresete ba Kgolagano e Ntšha ba bone Rahabe jaaka sekai sa thata ya gotlhe tumelo le ditiro (bona Bahebera 11:31; Jakobe 2:25). Jaaka o bala Jošua 2, akanyetsa ka ga maikarabelo a ga Rahabe a tumelo le ditiro a go ipoloka, lelwapa lwa gagwe, le ditlholwa tsa Iseraele. Se se go ruta eng ka fa tumelo ya gago mo go Keresete le ditiro tsa gago di ka go rotloetsang le ba bangwe?

Morena o dirile dikgakgamatso mo gare ga batho ba Gagwe jaaka a ba gogela mo lefatsheng la tsholofetso, e bile O ka dira mo go wena mo go tshwanang. Fa ke dingwe tsa dipotso go go kaela mo go ithutontsheng ga gago Jošua 3–4:

• Ke eng o akanya gore Baiseraele ba ne ba tlhoka go itshepisa pele fa ba kgabaganya Noka ya Joretane? (bona Jošua 3:5).

• Lemoga gore noka e kgaoganye fela morago ga “dinao tsa baperesiti … di ne di tsena mo lotshing la metsi” (Jošua 3:13, 15). Ke eng se se le botlhokwa?

• Ditiragalo dingwe di le mmalwa tse di botlhokwa di diragetse kwa Nokeng ya Joretane—bona 2 Dikgosi 2:6–15; 5:1–14; le Mareko 1:9–11. O bona digokaganyi dife ma gare ga ditiragalo tse?

• Morena o dirile “dikgakgamatso” jang mo botshelong jwa gago? (Jošua 3:5). O ka itemogela—kgotsa wa lemoga—dikgakgamatso tse dintsi kgapetsa kgapetsa jang? (ka sekai, bona Jošua 3:17).

Jošua 6–8 e amana le dintwa tsa mafatshe a Jeriko le Ai. Jaaka o bala dikgaolo tse, akanyetsa ka fa o lwang ka teng le thaelo (ka sekai, bona Jošua 7:10–13). O ithuta eng ka ga ka fa Modimo a ka go thusang ka teng le gore o tlhoka go dira eng go nna le thata ya Gagwe? Ka sekai, o kgatlhiwa ke eng ka ga kaelo ya Morena go tsaya Jeriko? (bona Jošua 6:1–5). Gongwe polelo mo Jošua 7 e tlaa go tlhotlheletsa go lemoga fa “go na le sengwe se o se neeletsweng” mo botshelo jwa gago se o tlhokang go se ntsha (Jošua 7:13).

Dithuto tsa bofelo tsa ga Jošua go Baiseraele mo Jošua 23–24 di akaretsa ditlhagiso tse di botlhokwa, kgakololo, le ditshegofatso tse di solofeditsweng. Gongwe o ka dira nankolo ya tse o di boneng. Go akanya sengwe le sengwe se Baiseraele ba se raletseng, ke eng o akanya gore Joshua o itlhophetse go ba bolelela dilo tse kwa bokhutlong jwa botshelo jwa gagwe? O bona eng se se go rotloetsang go “ngaparela go Morena”? (Jošua 23:8).

• Fa ke tsela e nngwe go thusa bana ba gago “go nna thata mme o le bopelokgale” (Jošua 1:6) ka Jeso Keresete. Ba laletse go batla seele se se boeleditsweng mo Jošua 1:6, 9, le 18, mme ba e kwale fa fatshe kgotsa e tshware mo tlhogong. Thusa bana ba gago go akanya ka diemo tse ba ka tlhokang molaetsa o, jaaka Jošua a dirile. Le gone o ka sekaseka dipolelo tse dingwe mo Jošua 1–4; 6 (bona le gone “Joshua the Prophet” le “Rahab and the Spies” mo Old Testament Stories, 85–91). Batho ba ba mo dipolelo tse ba supile jang bopelokgale le nonofo mo Moreneng?

• Go bala Jošua 1:8 go ka tlhotlheletsa bana ba gago go bala dikwalo tse di boitshepo ka bo bone. Ba thuse go batla mafoko mo temaneng e a a ba rutang jang le eng re tshwanetse go bala dikwalo tse di boitshepo. Ba ka lebelela selo se se tshwanang mo 1 Nefi 15:23–24; 2 Nefi 31:20; 32:3; Jakobe 4:6; Helamane 3:29–30. Le gone o ka ba thusa go dira le go diragatsa togamaano ya go bala dikwalo tse di boitshepo.

• O ka dirisa polelo ya Baiseraele go kgabaganya Noka ya Joretane jaaka tshupo ya kolobetso—go tlogela botshelo jwa rona jwa bogologolo mo nageng le go simolola jo bošha mo botsalanong jwa kgolagano le Modimo. Jalo jaaka lo bala mmogo Jošua 3–4 (kgotsa “Joshua the Prophet” mo Old Testament Stories, 85–89), le gone o ka lebelela setshwantsho sa ga Jeso a kolobediwa mme o tlhalose gore Jeso o ne a kolobediwa mo nokeng e o Baiseraele ba e kgabagantseng. Ka jalo o ka opela pina jaaka “Baptism” (Children’s Songbook, 100–101). Abelanang ka bo lona ka fa go kolobediwa go tshwanang le go simolola botshelo jo bošha mo bogosing jwa ga Jeso Keresete.

• O ka dira eng go thusa bana ba gago go ithuta go itlhophela go sala Jeso Keresete morago, jaaka Jošua a laleditse Baiseraele go dira? O ka ba laletsa go:

  • Tshwara mo tlhogong seele go tswa Jošua 24:15. Leka go dira gore go kgatlhise mo baneng ba gago. Palo ya mafoko a ba ka tshwarang mo tlhogong a ka nna go yeng ka dingwaga tsa bone.

  • Batla dipolelo ka ga batho ba ba itlhophetseng go direla Jeso Keresete. Ba ka lebelela mo makasineng wa Tsala , Gospel Art Book, kgotsa Old Testament Stories le dibuka tse dingwe tsa dipolelo tsa dikwalo tse di boitshepo.

  • Dira motshameko-wa-pontsho wa diemo tse ba ka itlhophelang go go sala morago le go direla Mmoloki.
