Numbers 10
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work thou shall make them. And thou shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
Zenzele impondo ezimbili zesiliva, uzenze zibe ngumsebenzi okhandiweyo; njalo zizakuba ngezakho ekubizeni inhlangano lekusukeni kwezinkamba.
3 And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to thee at the door of the tent of meeting.
Uba bezivuthela inhlangano yonke izabuthana kuwe emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
4 And if they blow but one, then the rulers, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to thee.
Kodwa uba bevuthela olulodwa, iziphathamandla, inhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli zizabuthana kuwe.
5 And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
Lapho lihlaba umkhosi, izinkamba ezimise ngempumalanga zizasuka.
6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
Lalapho lihlaba umkhosi ngokwesibili, izinkamba ezimise ngeningizimu zizasuka. Bazahlaba umkhosi ukuze zisuke.
7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
Kodwa ekubuthaniseni ibandla lizavuthela impondo, kodwa lingahlabi umkhosi.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets, and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
Njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azavuthela izimpondo. Zizakuba kini yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.
9 And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. And ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
Njalo lapho liphuma impi elizweni lakini ukuyakulwa lesitha esilicindezelayo, lihlabe umkhosi ngezimpondo, njalo likhunjulwe phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lisindiswe ezitheni zenu.
10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. And they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
Langosuku lwentokozo yenu, lemikhosini yenu emisiweyo, lekuthwaseni kwenyanga zenu, lizavuthela izimpondo phezu kweminikelo yenu yokutshiswa laphezu kwemihlatshelo yeminikelo yenu yokuthula, ukuze ibe kini yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
