Joshua 13
1 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years. The LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
UJoshuwa wayesemdala eleminyaka eminengi. INkosi yasisithi kuye: Usumdala, uleminyaka eminengi, kusasele ilizwe elikhulu kakhulu ukudla ilifa lalo.
2 This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
Yileli ilizwe eliseleyo: Yonke imingcele yamaFilisti, leGeshuri yonke,
3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
kusukela eShihori eliphambi kweGibhithe, kusiya emngceleni weEkhironi enyakatho, elibalelwa kumaKhanani; ababusi abahlanu bamaFilisti, abeGaza, labeAshidodi, abeAshikeloni, abeGathi, labeEkhironi, labeAvi,
4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
kusukela eningizimu, ilizwe lonke lamaKhanani, leMeyara elingelamaSidoni, kuze kufike eAfeki, kuze kube semngceleni wamaAmori,
5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath;
lelizwe lamaGebali, leLebhanoni lonke, kusiya empumalanga, kusukela eBhali-Gadi ngaphansi kwentaba yeHermoni, kusiya ekungeneni kweHamathi.
6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only you allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
Bonke abakhileyo ezintabeni, kusukela eLebhanoni kusiya eMisirefothi-Mayimi, wonke amaSidoni, mina ngizabaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Kuphela ulabele uIsrayeli ngenkatho libe yilifa, njengoba ngikulayile.
7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh: from the Jordan as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun, you are to give it; the Great Sea will be the boundary.
Ngakho-ke yehlukanisa ilizwe leli libe yilifa ezizweni eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase.
8 But to the two tribes and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, with him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:
Kanye labo abakoRubeni labakoGadi bemukela ilifa labo, uMozisi owabanika lona, ngaphetsheya kweJordani ngempumalanga, njengalokho uMozisi inceku yeNkosi wabanika:
9 from Aroer, that is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
Kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni, lomuzi ophakathi kwesifula, lamagceke wonke eMedeba kuze kube seDiboni,
10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the people of Ammon;
lemizi yonke kaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owabusa eHeshiboni, kuze kube semngceleni wabantwana bakoAmoni,
11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
leGileyadi lomngcele wamaGeshuri lamaMahakathi lentaba yonke yeHermoni leBashani lonke kuze kube seSaleka,
12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.
umbuso wonke kaOgi eBashani owabusa eAshitarothi leEdreyi. Nguye owasala kunsali yeziqhwaga. UMozisi wayebatshaye-ke wabaxotsha elifeni labo.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.
Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabawaxotshanga elifeni amaGeshuri lamaMahakathi; kodwa amaGeshuri lamaMahakathi ahlala phakathi kukaIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.
14 Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of the LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
Kuphela esizweni sakoLevi kanikanga ilifa; iminikelo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli eyenziwe ngomlilo iyilifa laso, njengokutsho kwayo kuso.
15 Moses gave to the tribe of the descendants of Reuben according to their families.
UMozisi wasenika isizwe sabantwana bakoRubeni ngokwensendo zabo.
16 Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;
Lomngcele waso wasukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni, lomuzi ophakathi kwesifula, lamagceke wonke eMedeba,
17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
iHeshiboni, lemizi yayo yonke esemagcekeni, iDiboni leBamothi-Bhali leBeti-Bhali-Meyoni,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
leJahaza leKedemothi leMefahathi,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,
leKiriyathayimi leSibima leZerethi-Shahari entabeni yesigodi,
20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,
leBeti-Peyori leAshidodi-Pisiga leBeti-Jeshimothi,
21 all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.
lemizi yonke yamagceke, lombuso wonke kaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, owayebusa eHeshiboni, uMozisi amtshaya leziphathamandla zeMidiyani, oEvi loRekemi loZuri loHuri loReba, amakhosana kaSihoni, abakhileyo belizwe.
22 The children of Israel also killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.
LoBalami indodana kaPeyori, ovumisayo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambulala ngenkemba phakathi kwababuleweyo babo.
23 The border of the descendants of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the descendants of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.
Lomngcele wabantwana bakoRubeni wawuyiJordani lomngcele wayo. Lokhu kwakuyilifa labantwana bakoRubeni ngokwensendo zabo, imizi lemizana yayo.
24 Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the descendants of Gad, according to their families.
UMozisi wasenika isizwe sakoGadi, kubantwana bakoGadi ngokwensendo zabo.
25 Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the people of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;
Lomngcele wabo wawuyiJazeri layo yonke imizi yeGileyadi lengxenye yelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni, kusiya eAroweri, ephambi kweRaba,
26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
njalo kusukela eHeshiboni kusiya eRamathi-Mizipa leBetonimi, njalo kusukela eMahanayimi kuze kube semngceleni weDebhiri;
27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan's bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Kinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
lesigodini, iBeti-Harama leBeti-Nimira leSukothi leZafoni, insali yombuso kaSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, iJordani lomngcele, kuze kube sekupheleni kolwandle lweKinerethi ngaphetsheya kweJordani empumalanga.
28 This is the inheritance of the descendants of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.
Leli yilifa labantwana bakoGadi ngokwensendo zabo, imizi lemizana yabo.
29 Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half-tribe of the descendants of Manasseh according to their families.
UMozisi wasenika ingxenye yesizwe sakoManase ilifa; njalo yayingeyengxenye yesizwe sabantwana bakoManase ngokwensendo zabo.
30 Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.
Lomngcele wabo wasukela eMahanayimi, iBashani lonke, umbuso wonke kaOgi inkosi yeBashani, layo yonke imizana yeJayiri eseBashani, imizi engamatshumi ayisithupha.
31 Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the descendants of Makir according to their families.
Lengxenye yeGileyadi, leAshitarothi, leEdreyi, imizi yombuso kaOgi eBashani, yayingeyabantwana bakoMakiri indodana kaManase, ngitsho eyengxenye yabantwana bakoMakiri ngokwensendo zabo.
32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
La yiwo uMozisi awanika aba yilifa emagcekeni akoMowabi ngaphetsheya kweJordani eJeriko empumalanga.
33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
Kodwa esizweni sakoLevi uMozisi kanikanga ilifa; iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, iyilifa labo, njengokutsho kwayo kubo.
