< Numbers 10 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Make two trumpets of silver for yourself; you make them of beaten work, and they have been for you for the convocation 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 they have blown with them, and all the congregation has assembled to you at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.
Uba bezivuthela inhlangano yonke izabuthana kuwe emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
4 And if they blow with one, then the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, have assembled to you;
Kodwa uba bevuthela olulodwa, iziphathamandla, inhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli zizabuthana kuwe.
5 and you have blown—a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.
Lapho lihlaba umkhosi, izinkamba ezimise ngempumalanga zizasuka.
6 And you have blown—a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; they blow a shout for their journeys.
Lalapho lihlaba umkhosi ngokwesibili, izinkamba ezimise ngeningizimu zizasuka. Bazahlaba umkhosi ukuze zisuke.
7 And in the assembling of the assembly you blow, and do not shout;
Kodwa ekubuthaniseni ibandla lizavuthela impondo, kodwa lingahlabi umkhosi.
8 and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been for a continuous statute to you throughout your generations.
Njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azavuthela izimpondo. Zizakuba kini yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.
9 And when you go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then you have shouted with the trumpets, and you have been remembered before your God YHWH, and you have been 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 And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in the beginnings of your months, you have also blown with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been for a memorial to you before your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”
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.

29 And Moses says to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, “We are journeying to the place of which YHWH has said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to you, for YHWH has spoken good concerning Israel.”
UMozisi wasesithi kuHobabi indodana kaRehuweli umMidiyani, uyisezala kaMozisi: Thina siyasuka siya endaweni iNkosi eyathi ngayo: Ngizalipha yona. Hamba lathi; sizakwenzela okuhle, ngoba iNkosi ikhulume okuhle ngoIsrayeli.
30 And he says to him, “I do not go; but I go to my land and to my family.”
Wasesithi kuye: Kangiyikuhamba, kodwa-ke ngizakuya elizweni lakithi lezihlotsheni zami.
31 And he says, “Please do not forsake us, because you have known our encamping in the wilderness, and you have been to us for eyes;
Wasesithi: Ake ungasitshiyi, ngoba uyazi lapho esingamisa khona inkamba enkangala, uzakuba ngamehlo ethu.
32 and it has come to pass, when you go with us—indeed, it has come to pass—that good which YHWH does kindly with us, we have done it kindly to you.”
Kuzakuthi-ke, uba uhamba lathi, yebo, kuzakwenzeka lokho okuhle okungakho iNkosi ezasenzela okuhle, sizakwenzela okuhle.
33 And they journey from the mountain of YHWH a journey of three days; and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is journeying before them [for] the journey of three days, to spy out a resting place for them;

34 and the cloud of YHWH [is] on them by day, in their journeying from the camp.

35 And it comes to pass in the journeying of the Ark, that Moses says, “Rise, O YHWH, and Your enemies are scattered, and those hating You flee from Your presence.”
Kwasekusithi ekusukeni komtshokotsho, uMozisi wathi: Vuka, Nkosi, kazichitheke-ke izitha zakho, lalabo abakuzondayo kababaleke phambi kwakho.
36 And in its resting he says, “Return, O YHWH, [to] the myriads, the thousands of Israel.”
Ekumisweni kwawo wathi: Buyela, Nkosi, kuzinkulungwane ezilitshumi zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli.
