< Numbers 34 >

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 "Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
“Laya abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Nxa lingena eKhenani, ilizwe elizaliphiwa ukuba libe yisabelo senu lizakuba lale imingcele:
3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from 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 of it 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 to the Wadi of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
lapho ozajika khona, kuhlangane lesiHotsha saseGibhithe njalo uyephelela oLwandle lwaseMedithereniyeni.
6 "'For the western border, the Great Sea shall be a border to you; this shall be your west border.
Umngcele wenu wentshonalanga uzakuba ligumbi loLwandle oLukhulu. Lo uzakuba ngumngcele wenu entshonalanga.
7 "'This shall be your north border: from the Great Sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor;
Okomngcele wenu wenyakatho, usekela uLwandle oLukhulu usiya eNtabeni yaseHori
8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to Lebo 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 of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border.
ubusuqhubeka usiya eZifironi uze uyekuma eHazari-Enani. Lo yiwo umngcele wenu enyakatho.
10 "'You shall mark out your 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 reach to the side of the sea of Kinnereth 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 of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
Kusuka lapho umngcele uzakwehla ulandela umfula uJodani uze uyecina oLwandle lweTswayi. Leli lizakuba yilizwe lenu, ngemingcele yalo inxa zonke.’”
13 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to 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 people of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the people 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 sunrise."
Izizwana lezi ezimbili kanye lalesi esiyingxenye sezithole isabelo sazo empumalanga komfula uJodani malungana leJerikho, ngokuya ngempumalanga.”
16 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
17 "These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
“La ngamabizo amadoda azalabela ilizwe njengelifa lenu: u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
18 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
Beselikhetha umkhokheli oyedwa esizwaneni ngasinye ukuncedisa ukwaba ilizwe:
19 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 Of the tribe of the people 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 Of the tribe of the people of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
uBhukhi indodana kaJogili, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sakoDani;
23 Of the people of Joseph: of the tribe of the people of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi, ongumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaManase indodana kaJosefa;
24 Of the tribe of the people of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
uKhemuweli indodana kaShifuthani, engumkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sako-Efrayimi indodana kaJosefa;
25 Of the tribe of the people of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
u-Elizafani indodana kaPhanaki, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaZebhuluni;
26 Of the tribe of the people of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
uPhalithiyeli indodana ka-Azani, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Isakhari,
27 Of the tribe of the people of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sika-Asheri;
28 Of the tribe of the people of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud."
uPhedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi, umkhokheli ovela esizwaneni sikaNafithali.”
29 These are they whom YHWH commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
La yiwo amadoda uThixo alaya ukuthi ahlukanisele abako-Israyeli isabelo sabo selizwe laseKhenani.
