< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 And we turned and went by the way leading to Basan; and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle at Edraim.
Sasesiphenduka sisenyuka ngendlela yeBashani. UOgi inkosi yeBashani wasephuma ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eEdreyi.
2 And the Lord said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and all his land, into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Seon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Esebon.
Kodwa iNkosi yathi kimi: Ungamesabi, ngoba ngizamnikela labantu bakhe bonke lelizwe lakhe esandleni sakho; njalo uzakwenza kuye njengokwenza kwakho kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni.
3 And the Lord our God delivered him into our hands, even Og the king of Basan, and all his people; and we smote him until we left none of his seed.
Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yanikela esandleni sethu loOgi inkosi yeBashani labo bonke abantu bakhe; sasesimtshaya, kakwaze kwasala lansali kuye.
4 And we mastered all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; sixty cities, all the country round about Argob, belonging to king Og in Basan:
Sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe ngalesosikhathi; kwakungelamuzi esingawuthathanga kibo; imizi engamatshumi ayisithupha, isabelo sonke seArigobi, umbuso kaOgi eBashani.
5 all strong cities, lofty walls, gates and bars; besides the very many cities of the Pherezites.
Yonke limizi yayivikelwe ngemithangala ephakemeyo, amasango lemigoqo, ngaphandle kwemizana eminengi kakhulu engelamithangala.
6 We utterly destroyed [them] as we dealt with Seon the king of Esebon, so we utterly destroyed every city in order, and the women and the children,
Sasesiyitshabalalisa, njengokwenza kwethu kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, satshabalalisa yonke imizi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana.
7 and all the cattle; and we took for a prey to ourselves the spoil of the cities.
Kodwa zonke izifuyo lempango yemizi, saziphangela.
8 And we took at that time the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, [extending] from the brook of Arnon even unto Aermon.
Ngalesosikhathi sasesithatha esandleni samakhosi amabili amaAmori ilizwe, elalinganeno kweJordani, kusukela esifuleni iArinoni kuze kube sentabeni yeHermoni.
9 The Phoenicians call Aermon Sanior, but the Amorite has called it Sanir.
(AmaSidoni ayibiza iHermoni ngokuthi yiSiriyoni, lamaAmori ayibiza ngokuthi yiSeniri.)
10 All the cities of Misor, and all Galaad, and all Basan as far as Elcha and Edraim, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.
Yonke imizi yemagcekeni, leGileyadi yonke, leBashani yonke, kuze kube seSaleka leEdreyi, imizi yombuso kaOgi eBashani.
11 For only Og the king of Basan was left of the Raphain: behold, his bed [was] a bed of iron; behold, [it is] in the chief city of the children of Ammon; the length of it [is] nine cubits, and the breadth of it four cubits, according to the cubit of a man.
Ngoba nguOgi kuphela, inkosi yeBashani, owasalayo kunsali yeziqhwaga; khangela, umbheda wakhe wawungumbheda wensimbi; kawukho yini eRaba yabantwana bakoAmoni? Ubude bawo babuzingalo eziyisificamunwemunye, lobubanzi bawo babuzingalo ezine, ngokwengalo yomuntu.
12 And we inherited that land at that time from Aroer, which is by the border of the torrent Arnon, and half the mount of Galaad; and I gave his cities to Ruben and to Gad.
Lalelilizwe sadla ilifa lalo ngalesosikhathi; kusukela eAroweri, elisesifuleni seArinoni, lengxenye yentaba yeGileyadi lemizi yayo ngayipha abakoRubeni labakoGadi.
13 And the rest of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasse, and all the country round about Argob, all that Basan; it shall be accounted the land of Raphain.
Lokuseleyo kweGileyadi leBashani yonke, umbuso kaOgi, ngakunika kungxenye yesizwe sakoManase; isabelo sonke seArigobi, layo yonke iBashani, eyayithiwa yilizwe leziqhwaga.
14 And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day.
UJayiri indodana kaManase wathatha isabelo sonke seArigobi, kuze kube semngceleni wamaGeshuri lowamaMahakathi; wayibiza imizi ngebizo lakhe wathi yiBashani-Havothi-Jayiri, kuze kube yilolusuku.
15 And to Machir I gave Galaad.
Ngasengimnika uMakiri iGileyadi.
16 And to Ruben and to Gad I gave [the land] under Galaad as far as the brook of Arnon, the border between the brook and as far as Jaboc; the brook [is] the border to the children Amman.
LakwabakoRubeni lakwabakoGadi nganika kusukela eGileyadi ngitsho kuze kufike esifuleni seArinoni, phakathi laphakathi kwesifula, lomngcele, njalo kuze kube sesifuleni iJaboki, umngcele wabantwana bakoAmoni.
17 And Araba and Jordan [are] the boundary of Machanareth, even to the sea of Araba, the salt sea under Asedoth Phasga eastward.
Lamagceke, leJordani, lomngcele, kusukela eKinerethi njalo kuze kufike elwandle lwemagcekeni, ulwandle lwetshwayi, ngaphansi kweAshidodi-Pisiga ngasempumalanga.
18 And I charged you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot; arm yourselves, every one [that is] powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel.
Ngasengililaya ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ilinikile lelilizwe libe yilifa lenu. Lizachapha lihlomile phambi kwabafowenu, abantwana bakoIsrayeli, wonke amadodana angamaqhawe.
19 Only your wives and your children and your cattle (I know that ye have much cattle), let them dwell in your cities which I have given you;
Kuphela omkenu labantwanyana benu lezifuyo zenu - ngiyazi ukuthi lilezifuyo ezinengi - kuzahlala emizini yenu engilinike yona,
20 until the Lord your God give your brethren rest, as also he has given to you, and they also shall inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives them on the other side of Jordan; then ye shall return, each one to his inheritance which I have given you.
iNkosi ize ibanike ukuphumula abafowenu njengani, baze bathi labo badle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ebaphe lona, ngaphetsheya kweJordani; beselibuyela, ngulowo lalowo elifeni lakhe, engilinike lona.
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all things, which the Lord our God did to these two kings: so shall the Lord our God do to all the kingdoms against which thou crossest over thither.
Njalo ngamlaya uJoshuwa ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Amehlo akho abonile konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ekwenze kulawomakhosi amabili; izakwenza njalo iNkosi kuyo yonke imibuso ozakwedlulela kuyo.
22 Ye shall not be afraid of them, because the Lord our God himself shall fight for you.
Lingabesabi, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, yona izalilwela.
23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
Ngasengiyincenga iNkosi ngalesosikhathi ngisithi:
24 Lord God, thou hast begun to shew to thy servant thy strength, and thy power, and thy mighty hand, and thy high arm: for what God is there in heaven or on the earth, who will do as thou hast done, and according to thy might?
Nkosi Jehova, wena usuqalile ukutshengisa inceku yakho ubukhulu bakho lesandla sakho esilamandla; ngoba nguwuphi unkulunkulu emazulwini lemhlabeni ongenza njengemisebenzi yakho lanjengamandla akho?
25 I will therefore go over and see this good land that is beyond Jordan, this good mountain and Antilibanus.
Ngicela ngichaphe, ngibone ilizwe elihle elingaphetsheya kweJordani, leyontaba enhle, leLebhanoni.
26 And the Lord because of you did not regard me, and hearkened not to me; and the Lord said to me, Let it suffice thee, speak not of this matter to me any more.
Kodwa iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, kayingizwanga; iNkosi yasisithi kimi: Kwenele kuwe; ungabe usaphinda ukukhuluma kimi ngaloludaba.
27 Go up to the top of the quarried rock, and look with thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold [it] with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
Yenyukela engqongeni yePisiga, uphakamisele amehlo akho ngentshonalanga langenyakatho langeningizimu langempumalanga, ukhangele ngamehlo akho; ngoba kawuyikuchapha le iJordani.
28 And charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go before the face of this people, and he shall give them the inheritance of all the land which thou hast seen.
Kodwa laya uJoshuwa, umkhuthaze, umqinise; ngoba yena uzachapha phambi kwalababantu, laye abenze badle ilifa lelizwe ozalibona.
29 And we abode in the valley near the house of Phogor.
Sasesihlala esigodini maqondana leBeti-Peyori.
