Numbers 34
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 'Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
“Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:
3 Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
Icele leningizimu yenu lizahlanganisa isigaba esithile seNkangala yaseZini kulandela umngcele we-Edomi. Empumalanga, umngcele wenu weningizimu uzasukela ekucineni koLwandle lweTswayi,
4 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
udabula eningizimu yoMkhandlu weNkume, kusiya ngaseZini njalo kuye eningizimu yeKhadeshi Bhaneya. Usuka lapho uzaqonda eHazari Adari njalo wedlulele e-Azimoni,
5 and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea.
lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.
6 And for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your west border.
Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall mark out your line unto mount Hor;
Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori
8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out a line unto the entrance to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
njalo usuka eNtabeni yaseHori uye eLebho Hamathi. Umngcele uzasuka lapho uqonde eZedadi,
9 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north border.
ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.
10 And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
Okomngcele wenu wempumalanga, sukelani eHazari-Enani kusiya eShefamu.
11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall strike upon the slope of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
Umngcele uzakwehla usuka eShefamu usiya eRibhila engempumalanga kwe-Ayini njalo uqhubeke ulandela umthezuko empumalanga koLwandle lwaseKhinerethi.
12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea; this shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.'
Kusuka lapho umngcele uzakwehla ulandela umfula uJodani uze uyecina oLwandle lweTswayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu, ngemingcele yalo inxa zonke.’”
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: 'This is the land wherein ye shall receive inheritance by lot, which the LORD hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
UMosi walaya abako-Israyeli wathi: “Yabelanani lelilizwe ngenkatho njengelifa lenu. UThixo usekhuphe isiqondiso sokuthi aliphiwe izizwana eziyisificamunwemunye kanye lesizwana esiyingxenye,
14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance;
ngenxa yokuthi abezimuli zesizwana sikaRubheni, abesizwana sikaGadi kanye lengxenye yesizwana sikaManase sebethole isabelo sabo.
15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.'
Izizwana lezi ezimbili kanye lalesi esiyingxenye sezithole isabelo sazo empumalanga komfula uJodani malungana leJerikho, ngokuya ngempumalanga.”
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
17 'These are the names of the men that shall take possession of the land for you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
“La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to take possession of the land.
Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:
19 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
La yiwo amabizo abo: uKhalebi indodana kaJefune, owesizwana sakoJuda;
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
uShemuyeli indodana ka-Amihudi, owesizwana sakoSimiyoni;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
u-Elidadi indodana kaKhisiloni, owesizwana sakoBhenjamini;
22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
uBhukhi indodana kaJogili, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sakoDani;
23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod;
uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi, ongumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaManase indodana kaJosefa;
24 and of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
uKhemuweli indodana kaShifuthani, engumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sako-Efrayimi indodana kaJosefa;
25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Eli-zaphan the son of Parnach.
u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;
26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
uPhalithiyeli indodana ka-Azani, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Isakhari,
27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Asheri;
28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”
29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.'
La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.
