< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, for battle at Edrei.
Sasesiphenduka sisenyuka ngendlela yeBashani. UOgi inkosi yeBashani wasephuma ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eEdreyi.
2 And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
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 Jehovah our God gave into our hand Og the king of Bashan also, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yanikela esandleni sethu loOgi inkosi yeBashani labo bonke abantu bakhe; sasesimtshaya, kakwaze kwasala lansali kuye.
4 And we took all his cities at that time: there was not a town which we took not from them, sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe ngalesosikhathi; kwakungelamuzi esingawuthathanga kibo; imizi engamatshumi ayisithupha, isabelo sonke seArigobi, umbuso kaOgi eBashani.
5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns very many.
Yonke limizi yayivikelwe ngemithangala ephakemeyo, amasango lemigoqo, ngaphandle kwemizana eminengi kakhulu engelamithangala.
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, men, women and little ones.
Sasesiyitshabalalisa, njengokwenza kwethu kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, satshabalalisa yonke imizi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana.
7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.
Kodwa zonke izifuyo lempango yemizi, saziphangela.
8 And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, that were on this side the Jordan, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon
Ngalesosikhathi sasesithatha esandleni samakhosi amabili amaAmori ilizwe, elalinganeno kweJordani, kusukela esifuleni iArinoni kuze kube sentabeni yeHermoni.
9 (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir):
(AmaSidoni ayibiza iHermoni ngokuthi yiSiriyoni, lamaAmori ayibiza ngokuthi yiSeniri.)
10 all the cities of the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Yonke imizi yemagcekeni, leGileyadi yonke, leBashani yonke, kuze kube seSaleka leEdreyi, imizi yombuso kaOgi eBashani.
11 For only Og the king of Bashan remained of the residue of giants: behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? its length was nine cubits, and its breadth four cubits, after 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 this land we took in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;
Lalelilizwe sadla ilifa lalo ngalesosikhathi; kusukela eAroweri, elisesifuleni seArinoni, lengxenye yentaba yeGileyadi lemizi yayo ngayipha abakoRubeni labakoGadi.
13 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob, even all Bashan, is called a land of giants.
Lokuseleyo kweGileyadi leBashani yonke, umbuso kaOgi, ngakunika kungxenye yesizwe sakoManase; isabelo sonke seArigobi, layo yonke iBashani, eyayithiwa yilizwe leziqhwaga.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth-Jair, to 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 I gave Gilead to Machir.
Ngasengimnika uMakiri iGileyadi.
16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon, the middle of the ravine and its border, as far as the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;
LakwabakoRubeni lakwabakoGadi nganika kusukela eGileyadi ngitsho kuze kufike esifuleni seArinoni, phakathi laphakathi kwesifula, lomngcele, njalo kuze kube sesifuleni iJaboki, umngcele wabantwana bakoAmoni.
17 the plain also, and the Jordan, and [its] border from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
Lamagceke, leJordani, lomngcele, kusukela eKinerethi njalo kuze kufike elwandle lwemagcekeni, ulwandle lwetshwayi, ngaphansi kweAshidodi-Pisiga ngasempumalanga.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to take possession of it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [who are] combatants.
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 little ones, and your cattle, — I know that ye have much cattle, — shall abide 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 Jehovah give rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land that Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan; then shall ye return, each man to his possession, 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, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings: so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt go.
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 fear them; for Jehovah your God, he will fight for you.
Lingabesabi, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, yona izalilwela.
23 And I besought Jehovah at that time, saying,
Ngasengiyincenga iNkosi ngalesosikhathi ngisithi:
24 Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy powerful hand; for what God is in the heavens or in the earth that can do like to thy works, and like 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 Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Ngicela ngichaphe, ngibone ilizwe elihle elingaphetsheya kweJordani, leyontaba enhle, leLebhanoni.
26 But Jehovah was wroth with me on your account, and did not hear me; and Jehovah said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter!
Kodwa iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, kayingizwanga; iNkosi yasisithi kimi: Kwenele kuwe; ungabe usaphinda ukukhuluma kimi ngaloludaba.
27 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up 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 But charge Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land which thou shalt see.
Kodwa laya uJoshuwa, umkhuthaze, umqinise; ngoba yena uzachapha phambi kwalababantu, laye abenze badle ilifa lelizwe ozalibona.
29 And we abode in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor.
Sasesihlala esigodini maqondana leBeti-Peyori.
