< Joshua 12 >

1 The Israelis took control of the land that was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north], including all the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley. That land previously belonged to the two kings whose armies the Israelis defeated.

Lala ngamakhosi elizwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli abawatshayayo, badla ilifa lelizwe lawo ngaphetsheya kweJordani ngempumalanga, kusukela esifuleni seArinoni kusiya entabeni yeHermoni, lamagceke wonke ngempumalanga:

2 One of them was Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. He lived in Heshbon [city] and ruled over the area from Aroer [town] along the Arnon River Gorge, north to the Jabbok River. His land started in the middle of the gorge, which was the border between his land and the land of the Ammon people-group. Sihon also ruled over [the southern] half of the Gilead region,

USihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni, ebusa kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni laphakathi kwesifula, lengxenye yeGileyadi kuze kufike esifuleni iJaboki, umngcele wabantwana bakoAmoni,

3 and over the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [south] to the Dead Sea. He also ruled over the land [east of the Dead Sea] from Beth-Jeshimoth south to the side of Pisgah Mountain.

lamagceke kuze kufike elwandle lweKinerothi, kuze kube selwandle lwamagceke, uLwandle lweTshwayi, empumalanga, indlela yeBeti-Jeshimothi, njalo kusukela eningizimu ngaphansi kweAshidodi-Pisiga;

4 The other king whom the Israeli army defeated was Og, the king of the Bashan [region]. He was the last of the descendants of [the giant] Rapha. He ruled that land, living alternately in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities].

lomngcele kaOgi inkosi yeBashani owensali zeziqhwaga owayehlala eAshitarothi leEdreyi,

5 He ruled over the area from Hermon Mountain and Salecah [in the north], and over all the Bashan area in the east, and to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah to the west. Og ruled [the northern] half of the Gilead region, as far as the border of the land ruled by King Sihon.

wabusa entabeni yeHermoni leSaleka leBashani lonke, kuze kube semngceleni wamaGeshuri lamaMahakathi, lengxenye yeGileyadi, umngcele kaSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni.

6 Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], and all the Israeli army defeated the armies of those kings. Then Moses gave that land to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

UMozisi inceku yeNkosi labantwana bakoIsrayeli babatshaya. UMozisi inceku yeNkosi waselinika abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase ukuba yilifa.

7 Joshua and the Israeli army also defeated kings who ruled over the land on the west side of the Jordan [River]. He gave that land to the Israeli people, dividing it among the other tribes. That land was between Baal-Gad [city] in the Lebanon Valley [in the far north all the way south] to Halak Mountain, which is near the land of the Edom people-group.

Lala ngamakhosi elizwe uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli abawatshayayo nganeno kweJordani entshonalanga, kusukela eBhali-Gadi esihotsheni seLebhanoni kusiya entabeni yeHalaki eyenyukela eSeyiri. UJoshuwa walinika-ke izizwe zakoIsrayeli laba yilifa njengokwehlukaniswa kwazo:

8 That land included the mountains, the western hilly area, the Jordan [River] Valley, the [western] slopes of the mountains, the desert [in Judea], and the Negev [desert in the south]. That whole area was the land where the Heth, Amor, Canaan, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups lived. The Israeli army defeated the armies of the kings of each of these cities:

Ezintabeni, lezihotsheni, lemagcekeni, lemawatheni, lenkangala, leningizimu: AmaHethi, amaAmori, lamaKhanani, amaPerizi, amaHivi, lamaJebusi.
