< Numbers 34 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits, )
Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho lingena elizweni leKhanani, leli lizakuba yilizwe elizawela kini libe yilifa, ilizwe leKhanani, ngokwemingcele yalo.
3 Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,
Legumbi lenu leningizimu lizakuba kusukela enkangala yeZini, enhlangothini zeEdoma. Njalo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu weningizimu kusukela ekucineni kolwandle lwetshwayi empumalanga.
4 And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:
Umngcele wenu uzajika uvela eningizimu usiya emqansweni weAkirabimi, wedlulele eZini; lokuphuma kwawo kuzavela eningizimu kuye eKadeshi-Bhaneya; uzaphuma uye eHazari-Adari, wedlulele eAzimoni.
5 And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.
Lomngcele uzajika uvela eAzimoni uye esifuleni seGibhithe; lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba selwandle.
6 And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.
Mayelana lomngcele wentshonalanga, ulwandle olukhulu luzakuba ngumngcele wenu; lona luzakuba ngumngcele wenu ngentshonalanga.
7 And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:
Lalokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho: Kusukela elwandle olukhulu lizazidwebela intaba yeHori;
8 And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:
kusukela entabeni yeHori lizadweba umngcele oya ekungeneni kweHamathi, lokuphuma komngcele kuye eZedadi.
9 And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.
Lomngcele uzaphuma uye eZifroni, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba eHazari-Enani. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu wenyakatho.
10 And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
Njalo lizazidwebela umngcele wenu wempumalanga kusukela eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu;
11 Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:
lomngcele uzakwehla uvela eShefamu uye eRibila empumalanga kweAyini, lomngcele wehle ufike eceleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngempumalanga.
12 And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.
Umngcele uzakwehlela-ke eJordani, lokuphuma kwawo kuzakuba solwandle lwetshwayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu ngemingcele yalo inhlangothi zonke.
13 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:
UMozisi waselaya abantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Leli yilizwe elizakudla ilifa lalo ngenkatho, iNkosi elaye ngalo ukulinika izizwe eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe.
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:
Ngoba isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngezindlu zaboyise, lesizwe sabantwana bakoGadi ngezindlu zaboyise zemukele, lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase yemukele ilifa layo.
15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.
Izizwe ezimbili lengxenye yesizwe zemukele ilifa lazo nganeno kweJordani, eJeriko, empumalanga, lapho okuphuma khona ilanga.
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
17 These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.
La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe libe yilifa: UEleyazare umpristi loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
18 And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.
Njalo lizathatha isiphathamandla kuleso lalesosizwe ukwehlukanisa ilizwe libe yilifa.
19 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
Lala ngamabizo amadoda: Esizweni sakoJuda, uKalebi indodana kaJefune.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoSimeyoni, uShemuweli indodana kaAmihudi.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.
Esizweni sakoBhenjamini, uElidadi indodana kaKisiloni.
22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan, a chief, Bukki, the son of Jogli.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoDani, isiphathamandla uBuki indodana kaJogili.
23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a chief, Hanniel, the son of Ephod:
Ebantwaneni bakoJosefa, esizweni sabantwana bakoManase, isiphathamandla uHaniyeli indodana kaEfodi.
24 And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a chief, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoEfrayimi, isiphathamandla uKemuweli indodana kaShifitani.
25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a chief, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoZebuluni, isiphathamandla uElizafani indodana kaParinaki.
26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoIsakari, isiphathamandla uPalitiyeli indodana kaAzani.
27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher, a chief, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoAsheri, isiphathamandla uAhiyudi indodana kaShelomi.
28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
Lesizweni sabantwana bakoNafithali, isiphathamandla uPedaheli indodana kaAmihudi.
29 These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Yibo labo iNkosi eyabalaya ukwehlukanisela abantwana bakoIsrayeli ilifa elizweni leKhanani.
