Numbers 26
1 After the plague [ended], Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses/me,
Kwathi emva kwenhlupheko iNkosi yakhuluma kuMozisi lakuEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi, isithi:
2 “Count all the people of Israel [again]. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight [in battles], along with their family names.”
Thathani inani lonke lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, ngezindlu zaboyise, bonke abangaphuma ukuya empini koIsrayeli.
3 So while the Israelis were on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, Eleazar and Moses/I told this to the Israeli leaders:
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebekhuluma labo emagcekeni akoMowabi, eJordani eJeriko, besithi:
4 “Write down the names of all the Israeli men who are at least 20 years old, as Yahweh has commanded us.” [So they did that], and this is a record of all the descendants of Jacob who came out of Egypt [who were still alive].
Babale kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphuma elizweni leGibhithe.

10 But the earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah. Yahweh also sent a fire that burned up 250 men who supported those three men. That was a warning [to all the Israeli people] that they should respect and obey the leaders whom Yahweh had appointed.

52 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
53 “Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists.
Kulaba ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa libe yilifa njengenani lamabizo.
54 Decide by (casting lots/throwing stones which are marked) to determine which group will get which area, but give the largest areas to the groups with the most people.”
Kwabanengi uzakwengeza ilifa labo, lakwabalutshwana uzanciphisa ilifa labo; ngulowo lalowo uzanikwa ilifa lakhe njengababaliweyo bakhe.
Loba kunjalo ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa ngenkatho; ngokwamabizo ezizwe zaboyise bazalidla ilifa.
Ngokwenkatho ilifa lalo lizakwehlukaniswa phakathi kwabanengi labalutshwana.

Laba zinsendo zabakoLevi; usendo lwabakoLibini, usendo lwabakoHebroni, usendo lwabakoMahli, usendo lwabakoMushi, usendo lwabakoKora. UKohathi wasezala uAmramu.
59 whose wife was Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, but she was born in Egypt. She and Amram had two sons, Aaron and Moses/me, and their/our [older] sister Miriam.

60 Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
UAroni wazalelwa uNadabi loAbihu, uEleyazare loIthamari.
61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned [incense for a sacrifice] to Yahweh in a way that disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded.
Kodwa uNadabi loAbihu bafa lapho banikela umlilo ongejwayelekanga phambi kweNkosi.
62 The leaders counted 23,000 men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israeli people [were counted], because they were not given any land.
Lababalwayo babo babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lantathu, bonke abesilisa kusukela kolenyanga kusiya phezulu; ngoba babengabalelwanga phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba babenganikwanga ilifa phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
63 Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses/I said should be counted. They counted the Israeli people on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, on the [east] side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [city].
Laba ngababalwa nguMozisi loEleyazare umpristi, ababala abantwana bakoIsrayeli emagcekeni akoMowabi eJordani eJeriko.
64 None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses/me when the Israelis were in the Sinai Desert,
Kodwa phakathi kwalabo kwakungekho muntu wababalwayo nguMozisi loAroni umpristi, lapho bebala abantwana bakoIsrayeli enkangala yeSinayi;
65 because Yahweh had said about them, “They will all die in this desert,” [and that is what happened]. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
ngoba iNkosi yayithe ngabo: Bazakufa lokufa enkangala. Njalo kakusalanga muntu kubo ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune, loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
